I do not own Harry Potter or any of it's characters. I think the warnings are fairly obvious, however, this story does involve slash of the Lucius/Harry variety and possibly others like Sirius/Remus. It does deal with MPreg as well, you'll find that out in the first part that you read. By the way, this is very much an AU and hopefully nothing like you've read before. read. review. enjoy. :)

Careless Whisper
Prologue

"My wife, she...she isn't capable of conceiving a child."

"Why are you telling me, Master?"

"I have a deal for you."

"...What kind of deal are you talking about Master?"

"I want you to conceive my child and carry it to term and I will warn you now if you give me a daughter we will have to try again. I will tell the public that my wife blessed me with a child. I will get rid of all your chores and you can have all the money you want as well if you do this."

"I...ok. But, I'll get to see the baby...right, Master?"

"No. You will have nothing to do with him."

"Then no, Master. My answer is no."

"Excuse me?"

"I don't want money, Master; I want to be able to raise my child, take care of him."

"...Fine. You will never be addressed as his mother though, so you know slave."

"I know, Master."

"Momma..." The small scared voice woke Harry Potter out of a rather nice dream and caused his eyes to flutter open. When he turned his head to the right he saw the small blonde toddler standing beside his bed and he immediately turned over and pulled the toddler into his arms and felt those tiny hands grasp onto him and the little body cuddled with his own.

"What's wrong, Draco?" Harry whispered softly even though he knew the answer. He had had yet another nightmare which was becoming more often for the three-year-old. Draco didn't answer and simply cuddled closer and tried to get as close as he possibly could. Harry didn't mind though; not at all. He loved it when he could cuddle his baby as much as he wanted. Harry looked over at the clock on his nightstand and was surprised to see that it was nearly seven o'clock in the morning and Lucius would be going to wake up Draco very soon.

"No!" Draco screamed when Harry started to stand and immediately Harry laid back down on his back and let Draco move around until he was comfortable and laying directly on top of Harry. Lucius had to know that Draco had come to him almost every night for the last month, he had to and if he didn't Harry would be absolutely shocked. Master Lucius seemed to know everything that went on within his household. Then again, Harry was fairly certain that he didn't know about all of the random men that would show up during his business trips.

"Come Draco," Harry's head snapped towards the door where he saw Lucius standing, completely dressed and ready for the day but Draco made no move to get up and only clutched onto Harry even tighter. "Draco, we're running late today, come on son."

"I can get him ready in time, Master," Harry spoke when Draco still didn't move. Lucius paused before he nodded his head and left the room, shutting the door behind him. "Ok, come on love, time to take a bath." Harry rose out of the bed and this time Draco remained silent. Harry left his bedroom and walked down the hallway to the very end and entered Draco's. The walls were still the same light blue they'd been for the last three years and the carpet was as soft as ever. The once round black crib that had been in the center of the room was now a small bed that Draco absolutely hated to sleep in with a passion.

Exactly an hour later Harry led Draco into the dining room and stopped in the kitchen before he went inside when he saw many men sitting around the table. Harry crouched down in front of Draco and ran a hand through his soft blonde hair and immediately Draco's silver eyes locked with his own emerald ones. Harry gave him a smile and pressed a kiss to his forehead as he lightly stroked his chubby little cheek and Draco giggled. "I'll see you later, okay baby?"

"O'tay momma." Draco spoke as he puckered his lips and Harry grinned before he gave him a quick peck and then ushered him into the dining room before he sat down at the counter in the very large kitchen. He looked around at all of the other slaves and house elves that were bustling around the kitchen and gave a soft sigh. Sometimes things just never change.

"Happy Christmas, Harry." The chef spoke as he placed a plate with pancakes covered with power sugar and syrup along with sausage, cheesy eggs, and hash browns.

"Happy Christmas, Alexander. Thank you very much breakfast." Harry said with a smile before digging into his large delicious breakfast. While he ate he kept his eyes moving around the kitchen, watching everyone move about. Today was a particularly busy day for them since it was the Christmas Ball that had been held every single year for hundreds of years in Malfoy Manor. It was also the night that he would get Draco all to himself since Lucius didn't really like to keep him around the Ball and all of the guests; he didn't trust them around his son. Tonight also happened to be the yearly party at Potter Manor that Harry hadn't been able to attend for the last four years because Lucius had never let him leave. Tonight, however, was very special because his entire family would get to meet Draco for the first time.
