Chapter 2: Reunions and Nightmares
Harry walked into Salem early Friday evening after classes and just before dinner, he found the twins in the library laughing and talking to their friends, "Kaden Alexander what do you think your doing." Harry snarled in the boys ear making him jump in the air Troy who had seen his approach fell of his chair laughing as Kaden thumped him on his shoulder.
"Boys I came to take you home for the weekend there is someone who is dying to meet you." Harry said to them.
"That was so not funny dad." Kaden said to him as he jumped out of his seat. "Who wants to meet us anyway?" Kaden asked.
"Your dad is waiting for us at home." Harry said to them the boys whooped before charging out of the library Harry running to keep up.
"Mr. Potter would you make sure they are back Sunday evening not Monday morning please." the headmistress said to him as they walked down the stairs to meet her.
"Of course, thanks for this headmistress. Dobby can you take their luggage back to the house please." Harry called the luggage vanished from site. "See you Sunday." Harry said to her as they disappeared in a puff of magic.
"I wish I knew how he does that." she said to herself.

They walked into the house well the twins ran into the house Draco was waiting by the door with their family watching on, Lucius smiled at Harry as the twins were hugged by Draco together making them look a little squashed as they stood there.
"Sorry it took a while to locate them, hello Lucius Narcissa its good to see the both of you." Harry said.
"Kaden Troy these are your grandparents." Harry said to the twins who had pulled away from Draco to look at the other adults. "That is Grandpa Lucius and grandma Narcissa." he said pointing to the blonds. "And Gramps James and grandma Lily." Harry said to them as the adults took turns to hug them.
"Who are they dad?" Troy pointed at Sirius and Remus.
"They are my godparents Sirius and Moony." Harry said Remus chuckled. "We call Sirius mutt when we don't like him." Harry said the twins giggled as they walked back to Harry's side Kaden's hand taking his Harry wrapped an arm around Troy's shoulders. "So you met everyone why don't you go get ready for dinner." Harry said to the twins who smiled extracting themselves from him as they ran upstairs to their rooms.
"They are gorgeous a credit to you." Lily said as they walked into the kitchen.
"Kaden seems to be more needy than Troy." James said.
"Kaden is a daddies boy more than Troy, Troy is more adventurous than Kaden is." Harry said to him. "They may be identical but they are two very different people when you get down to it." Harry said to him his father nodded.
"It can't have been easy working for Bartlett and bringing them up in the last three years on your own." Lily said to him Harry sat down on the table.
"No not really, I had to get a live in nanny." Harry said to her. "The last year as been really tough because of the campaign we didn't even know we would be on the final card until the convention." Harry said to her. "The boys are great and now that they have their dad about its going to be easier for them in the summers when they are home." Harry said to her.
"Your not give it up for them?" James asked.
"I would if they asked me and meant it." Harry said to him. "Family is important to me and they are the most important people in my life second only to Draco." Harry added with a smile they could hear laughing from the stairs. "Kaden have you checked your blood sugar?" Harry called to the boy as he walked in the door way with his kit.
"I need to inject." Kaden said to him.
"Oh right, up on the counter then." Harry said to him the boy nodded hopping up. "Draco come here please." Harry said to him.
"Why does he need to inject?" James asked.
"He is diabetic so he needs insulin." Harry said to him taking the needle. "Where do you want it Kaden?" Harry asked.
"Belly." Kaden said lifting his shirt up.
"Now your looking for a vein so if you ever have to do it you know what to do." Harry said pinching the vein lightly before pushing the pen like thing against his skin and pressing the button to inject Kaden hissed for a moment before Harry pulled the thing away. "All done." Harry said as he stood to one side for Kaden to get down. "He can do it himself but seeing as you're his dad he probably wanted to make sure you knew what to do if you needed to do it." Harry said as Kaden grabbed a mars bar from the fridge.
"Isn't that a bad thing?" Lily asked Kaden.
"No its for energy when my blood sugar is low." Kaden said Harry nodded.
"Troy you can have one to." Harry said his other son beamed at him. "Kaden isn't ill he has a condition that can be life threatening if he doesn't treat himself well, so I try not to treat them differently, they both have stomachs like bottomless pits so dinner is never an issue for them." Harry said to Draco who nodded.
"Dad are you coming to our championship game?" Troy asked as he jumped up next to Harry.
"You know I will try don't you?" Harry said to him Troy nodded. "I won't promise you anything honey but I will try to get to it, but you know Draco will be there to watch the two of you on the team." Harry said to him Troy smiled as he hugged Harry. "Wow what was that for is my tiger finally softening in his old age." Harry asked tickling the sides of the boy as he chuckled.
"I love you daddy." Troy said to him Harry wrapped his arms around the boys middle hugging him back.
"I love you to kiddo now what is up." Harry asked.
"Its nothing." Troy said Harry picked him up walking into the lounge he could feel tears on his shoulder Harry pulled back enough to see his son crying.
"What happened Troy?" Harry said sitting down.
"Chad's dad died." Troy mumbled. "Your never home." Troy said Harry stared at him.
"Hey when did this happen?" Harry asked.
"Just before Christmas." Troy said.
"You ever heard of owl post." Harry teased.
"You wouldn't have cared." Troy said Harry's heart felt like it was going to break as the boys head lowered so he wasn't looking at him.
"Troy look at me please." Harry said Troy brought his head up. "Now no matter how busy I am I will always make time for my children, you have Artemis you could have mailed me and should have." Harry said to him.
"I miss you." Troy said Harry nodded.
"So you like me about then." Harry raised an eye brow as the boy blushed. "Oh I won't tell Kaden about that." Harry said the boy smiled. "Though you should tell him, he misses being home to. So you met any nice girlfriends or boyfriends I need to be worried about?" Harry asked Troy laughed.
"Dad I'm eleven." Troy said.
"So no need to give you the talk then?" Harry teased.
"No dad please not the talk." Troy said squirming as Harry tightened his grip.
"I think I need to give you the talk." Harry said Troy clapped his hands over his ear. "In future I want to hear when your hurting, I don't care whether I am busy or not I will make time to write or visit you are more important to me than my work do you hear that." Harry said to him Troy nodded kissing his cheek Harry smiled. "How does it feel now you have met your dad?" Harry asked him.
"Its so cool." Troy said Draco walked into the room.
"You can mail me any time to, I am moving in here so your see me when school is out." Draco said.
"Does this mean we might get a brother or sister?" Kaden asked from behind Draco who let him through.
"I think that's something that we can work on, your dad would have to carry them though since I can't be a muggle if I am a pregnant man." Harry said as his son sat next to him taking Troy's hand Harry saw the flicker between them and knew that they were talking through their link Draco sat down next to Harry's smoothing the hair on Troy's head.
"Dinner is almost ready." Lily said walking in she smiled rushed out of the room coming back with a camera snapping shots of the four of them together Harry looked over at her and smiled.
"Are we good Troy Reece?" Harry asked his oldest.
"Yes dad." Troy said to him with a small smile.
"Good why don't you go wash up before dinner then." Harry said the twins ran out of the room. "Troy is to much like you Draco, he bottles everything up." Harry said to his mate.
"I gathered." Draco said. "He still likes a cuddle though." Draco added.
"Yeah I know, I wouldn't be surprised if those two end up sleeping together tonight." Harry said.
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
"Well when either of them is upset about something or scared or what ever the other always comforts them, when that happens they snuggle up together in bed and sleep they did it as babies as well." Harry said to her. "That's a good thing right?" Harry asked.
"It's fine they aren't likely to do anything more than that they are twins after all." Lily said Harry laughed.
"So I have brothers and sisters at Hogwarts right?" Harry asked Lily nodded. "Your not taking them out until the end of the year." Harry said she nodded. "Makes sense how many brats do I have?" Harry asked Lily giggled as they entered the kitchen.
"You have two brothers and a sister." James said. "And they are not brats." he said.
"Their your sons and daughter right?" Harry asked he nodded. "Then they are brats." Harry said Lily laughed. "Pranksters at that." Harry said James snorted nodding his head as the twins came back into the room. "Hands." Harry called to them Kaden groaned producing his hands as Troy did likewise Harry checked them. "Good now get your juice ready then at the table please." Harry said the boys nodded heading to the fridge. "They have a routine when they are home so if I am not here you should try to get them to follow it." Harry said to Draco and his parents who nodded. "With Kaden its important to get him to follow a routine." Harry said to Draco who nodded.
"Is it okay to be overwhelmed?" Draco asked.
"Yes Draco, they just got home so after dinner we'll go get a movie out and then we can all settle down to watch it." Harry said to him Draco smiled Harry's phone beeped sighing he got up from the table leaving the room Troy stared at the door.
"That happens a lot." Kaden said to Draco.
"You know he has the weekend of to spend with you guys." Draco said to him Kaden nodded. "Your dad is busy but he has an important job, just remember that he loves you and that he cares." Draco said to them Troy smiled Kaden frowned a little but smiled as Harry walked back into the room with a slightly amused smile on his lips.
"Do you have to go in?" Draco asked.
"No… the president crashed his bike on the lawn… he had an accident with a tree." Harry said Draco chuckled. "What is that frown about young man? If you don't smile I am putting you on the happy step." Harry said Kaden smiled. "Listen boys unless something bad happens I am here all weekend so lets enjoy it and lets not argue please." Harry said to them Kaden nodded Troy grinned. "Okay well after dinner you can either choose a movie from upstairs or we can go to blockbusters and pick one." Harry said to them.
"Lion King." they said together Harry groaned.
"I thought when you went to Salem you'd grow out of that Lion King it is then." Harry said they cheered.
"Disney?" James asked.
"Yeap they love that film." Harry said.
After dinner the group went into the lounge settling down on the couches Troy snuggled up next to Harry while Kaden was likewise snuggled up to Draco, Harry was fanning his hand through Troy's hair as the boy used his head as a pillow Harry could tell ten minutes into the film that his son was sleeping against him.
"Mum can you conjure a blanket." Harry said to her.
"Is he asleep?" Draco asked Harry nodded as Lily covered them with a blanket.
"Yes he is, Elven children bond with their parents from an early age. Troy likes to cuddle up next to me when ever his feeling down and he usually will fall asleep if its late enough and his tired enough." Harry said to him Draco nodded.
"I noticed the glamour on your ears, you take after your great grandfather." James said Harry nodded letting the glamour drop and the points of his ears were seen to poke through his hair. "You all do as a matter of fact." James said.
"Take after you to actually." Harry said. "I can see the glamour on your ears as well father dearest." Harry said James chuckled. "They haven't gone through that but they have slight points to their ears if you look." Harry said to Draco. "No Veela blood in them luckily hormonal teens and rampant Veela genes to go with a presidency might just kill me." Harry said Draco laughed at him.
"Do you have photos of them?" Lucius asked.
"No not the photos." Kaden groaned.
"In the cabinet over there, your find loads." Harry said Draco chuckled as Kaden groaned shifting from his seat to join Harry on the other sofa cuddling next up on Harry's other side. "You sure you don't want to see your baby photos?" Harry asked Kaden shook his head. "You were cute babies pretty small though." Harry said to him.
"Dad its embarrassing." Kaden groaned.
"You want to go up to bed with Troy?" Harry asked him Kaden shook his head.
"Can I do just lie here with you like Troy?" Kaden asked.
"Of course you can why don't you go grab your duvet from upstairs." Harry said Kaden nodded disappearing up the stairs. "I am on cuddle duty it would seem." Harry said to Draco who was engrossed in the photos with the rest of the family he looked up to see Harry smiling.
"Looks like your stuck." Draco said Harry laughed as Kaden reappeared with his duvet Harry pulled the blanket of Troy as Kaden sat down causing Troy to snuggle even closer to Harry and a shiver to run through him Harry pulled the duvet over the three of them tucking it under Troy's feet with a little magic as Kaden settled into his chest.
Draco watched as Harry's eyes closed his parents chuckling at the sight of the twins having a food fight when they were little caught on camera by they assumed Harry, "I don't believe it their asleep." James said to him Draco looked at his family and giggled. "He must have been tired." James said.
"He was up at five this morning to get things done before the boys got home so he could spend as much time as possible with them." Draco said to his father in law who nodded in understanding.
"That coupled with the incredibly late night the night before means his exhausted as by the looks of things are the twins." James said to Draco.
"Hey look at this." Lily said handing them a photo which was almost exactly the same as what was going on right now though the boys were much younger than they were currently. "They must do this often." she said to him.
It was nearly midnight when Harry felt a nudge in his shoulder, "Time to put these two to bed." Draco said to him Harry looked at Troy and Kaden and smiled.
"You take Kaden I need to extricate myself from Troy before I move him." Harry said banishing the quilt back to the bed it came from with a thought. "His pretty light Draco and he isn't going to break." Harry said shaking his head as Draco picked up Kaden who decided he liked his new pillow didn't wake up at all.
When Harry started to move Troy stirred, "What time is it?" he asked.
"Late Troy, do you want to sleep with your brother?" Harry asked he nodded. "Okay up stairs and change then, Kaden is asleep so quietly." Harry said to him the boy nodded as he walked up the stairs and out of site.
"I'll see you in a little while I'm going to check on the boys." Harry said disappearing in a flash.
Hphphphphp
Harry sat on the bed next to Draco watching the twins sleeping they had curled right up and Harry wore a smile, "They look so innocent like that." Draco said to him.
"Yeah that soon changes when they wake up though." Harry said Draco laughed.
"I'm going to turn in so I am fresh in the morning." Harry said to him Draco nodded as Harry climbed down onto the bed with the twins he was only dressed for a moment before he had his night wear on. "Why don't you change and get on the other side of them." Harry whispered his eyes fighting to stay open for a little while longer as the bed enlarged for a fourth person.
"What about our parents and godparents." Draco asked.
"They'll figure it out." Harry said Draco chuckled Harry waited for him to reappear in boxers before closing his eyes the sight of Kaden cuddling into his mate made him smile Troy tucked his head under Harry's an arm draped possessively over the child's body hugging him close. "Good night Draco." Harry said in a whisper.
An hour later the rest of the house found them, Lily smiled as she pulled the duvet up over them.
"They didn't say anything." Sirius said.
"I guess Harry decided the twins needed them more than we did, Kaden is snuggled right into Draco like Troy is with Harry." James said to him. "I'm pleased that Draco and the boys are bonding so quickly." he added.
"They do appear to be a close family." Lucius said to him.
"Lets leave them to sleep." Lily said as she bent down and placed a kiss on each of their heads.
Hphphphphp
"Dad." Harry heard someone say.
"What time is it?" Harry asked.
"12 pm mister." Leo said Harry shook his head and tried to move which caused him pain. "Your late for work." Leo said as Harry opened his eyes he was in the hospital for some reason his arm in a sling and his head throbbing.
"What happened?" Harry asked.
"Your father thought it would be fun to give the bed a height." Lily said to him.
"In other words I fell out of bed?" Harry asked she nodded. "His dead." Harry groaned holding his head.
"Hey kiddo where is your twin?" Harry said to Kaden.
"Toilet." Kaden said.
"Your not back at school then?" Harry asked.
"Its been three days you took a bad knock to the head so we kept them of until you woke up, they are going back tomorrow now though." Draco said appearing with Troy who smiled at Harry.
"Hey you been good for your dad right." Harry said.
"They have been angels." Draco said.
"Sorry I missed your weekend home boys, did you have a good time?" Harry asked.
"Yeah we had the best." Kaden and Troy said together.
"Leo as soon as I am out of here and well enough to go back to work you have me." Harry said the older man laughed.
"You have a broken collar bone and a concussion you should be out of here in no time the concussion might give you a headache for a while though." Leo said Harry nodded before groaning again.
"Hey Harry your awake." James said.
"I fell out of bed because of your prank old man the war is so on." Harry snarled at his father. "Tell the president I am fine and tell him I will not be pleased if he shows up here, they have a hospital to run and patients to deal with." Harry said to him Leo laughed before leaving.
"Dad your going to see us back to Salem tomorrow right?" Troy asked.
"Of course I am, you think I'm just going to let you leave without embarrassing you in front of your friends?" Harry asked sullenly his sons laughed at this.
Hphphphphp
Harry walked into the office a couple of days later with his arm in a sling, "You been in the battles…" Sam said looking at his arm.
"This is my father and a prank for you." Harry said his colleague laughed. "What do we have today?" Harry asked him.
"An ambassador from Israel, we have a supreme court justice coming in for a chat." Sam said.
"Great start to come back on." Harry said as they walked through the halls. "Morning Donna, this one for me is it?" Harry asked pointing at the coffee she nodded. "You're a life saver." Harry said to her sipping the drink and sighing happily. "Sam the speech for the address how is it coming tell me his making head way." Harry said as he sat down.
"Its going fine, Toby is being Toby about it." Sam said Harry laughed.
"You know I finally get rid of the twins to school I come here and I deal with this as well." Harry said shaking his head. "Staff meeting." Harry said depositing his jacket on his chair as they headed out of the room and towards Leo's office.
"Morning Harry good of you to rejoin us." Toby said trying not to laugh.
"Yea soak it up Toby soak it up." Harry growled.
"Your shadowing the president today Harry." Leo said.
"Great so now I get to bludgeon myself to death to escape the pain in my head." Harry said Leo laughed. "He has a semi full day so keep him on track would you." Leo said to him.
Harry waited until the rest of the group had gone before turning to Leo who was packing up, "Okay they may not have noticed Leo but what the hell is going on?" Harry asked the older man. "Your packing up so tell me." Harry snarled.
"I was asked to make a choice between my marriage and my job I chose my marriage." Leo said.
"You quit." Harry said.
"Yes." Leo said.
"So I am doing your job until he can get a replacement." Harry said.
"You are the replacement." Leo said to him Harry stared.
"I'm not ready for this Leo." Harry said to him.
"Yes you are Harry, you have always been ready the president knows that I knew that and so does everyone else, and in eight years time when you need a running you come look me up." Leo said to him. "I'll be your wing man." Leo said Harry laughed.
"I might be the running mate Leo not the president not for a while yet anyway." Harry said.
"We serve at the pleasure of the president, its your time to advice him." Leo said.
"Does this have to do with the dressing down I gave you and him before my trip to the hospital?" Harry asked Leo nodded. "Leo if your quitting because of that I'm killing you myself." Harry said the man shook his head.
"Get CJ or Sam in here as your deputy not Josh Lyman the president will back you up on which ever one is your choice." Leo said before taking his things out of the office.
"Margaret tell the senior staff to come back." Harry called to the woman at her desk.
"Coming right up." she called back. "Then I am packing up as well." she said.
"Can you have Donna come by." Harry said she nodded.
Hphphphphp
The staff arrived ten minutes later, "Donna if your wait out in the hall I'll speak to you in a minute." Harry said to the blond who looked put out but sat down next to Margaret's desk.
"Where is Leo?" Toby asked.
"Leo resigned last night for personal reasons, as of this morning I have been made the new chief of staff so we go about business as usual CJ the press are going to get a hold of this I want you and Toby to work on a release Leo is around I'll let him explain it to you. I would like recommendations on replacement's by the end of the day. Sam stay the rest of you go clutter your own offices." Harry said CJ laughed clapping him on the good shoulder as she went Toby quirked a lip in a smile he thought as he left.
"What can I do for you?" Sam asked.
"The replacement is for your old job, your in charge of it assuming you want the deputy chief of staff position." Harry said to him Sam stared. "I'm serious its you or CJ and I want a good press secretary covering my hide." Harry said.
"Of course I would love the job who gets to tell Toby?" Sam asked.
"You do." Harry said with a smile. "Best thing about being the boss is you get to delegate responsibility and I don't want to be in the same room as Toby when he hears you're the new deputy chief of staff." Harry said Sam laughed.
"I'll let him know your busy all morning." Sam said.
"That I would appreciate." Harry said as Sam walked out of the room. "Donna get your tush in here would you." Harry said. "Now how much of that did you hear?" Harry asked.
"All of it pretty much." Donna said Harry shook his head chuckling.
"Tell me you want that desk out there and you can move your stuff in today." Harry said to her she smiled.
"I want it." Donna said.
"Good move in." Harry said she nodded.
Hphphphphp
Harry finally got in his door at eight that evening, "Mr. Potter your very late." Draco said kissing him on the lips.
"No I am fashionably early." Harry said to him with a smile. "Tell me dinner is in the oven and a vodka is on the cards." Harry said to Draco as his mother came out of the lounge. "Two weeks in and I have a new job title." Harry said shaking his head. "Leo resigned last night your looking at the new white house chief of staff." Harry explained.
"No kidding." Draco said.
"Draco dry humour tonight of all nights is going to get you killed." Harry growled at his mate as he tucked into dinner. "Remind me in the morning to share my memories of today with you." Harry added with a snarl by the time he finished dinner he had managed to alienate his mate for a good half hour from their link.
Draco was waiting for him when he came out of the shower, "You feeling better right now?" Draco asked as Harry downed pain killers sighing happily.
"I will be when this day is over come here." Harry said to him Draco yelped as his mate pulled him into his lap Harry was still wet. "I'm sorry you got the brunt of that, now what can I do to make it up to you." Harry asked softly rubbing the spot he knew Draco's wings were making him almost purr at the touch.
"Make me yours." Draco whispered.
"I didn't hear that." Harry said with a smile.
"I said take me." Draco growled then gasped as Harry attacked his neck with his lips.
An hour later and the two of them were back in the lounge watching a program with their families.
"You all made up now?" Sirius asked.
"We had some post argument sex if you must know." Draco said the man spluttered Harry chuckled at this. "I'm going to turn in I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow and I need plenty of beauty sleep." Harry said to Draco who made to get up. "You have some fun with mum and dad or something you don't have to get up early in the morning." Harry said to him kissing him.
"Yet I won't be able to sleep after you get up anyway so I might as well go now I won't be tired tomorrow then." Draco said to him Harry shrugged as they walked out of the room hand in hand bright smiles on their lips.
Hphphphphp
Harry woke up a week later with the usual effortlessness he had come to expect, Draco slept on though it seemed that the bond had calmed down enough for him to return to a normal sleeping pattern as Harry bent down kissing his cheek before entering the bathroom of to one side. When he came back in Draco was awake and smiling at him, "You woke up, that must be a first for a while." Harry said to him as he dried of with his back to Draco.
"I know I just sensed that you were awake." Draco said. "Do you have something in the cabinet for bad stomachs." Draco asked.
"I should have, I make my own stock so that the boys don't have to worry when they are home." Harry said to him as he searched the cabinet. "Here we go, its my own recipe the boys swear by it." Harry said as he handed it to Draco.
Harry placed a hand to his head.
"Your not hot are you okay?" Harry asked.
"Yeah its just an upset stomach I think." Draco said.
"Let me have a look." Harry said to him the man rolled his top up Harry slid his hands over the hot skin making Draco gasp as he rolled down the bottoms a little. "I want you to get checked out by a healer today." Harry said to him.
"Is it something to worry about?" Draco asked.
"No I don't think so but I am not an expert in male pregnancies, how long have you been in pain?" Harry asked.
"The second night." Draco said.
"Okay well your body is changing to adapt I think, but its not my field of expertise so get it checked out. When you know drop by and let me know yeah." Harry said to him the blond nodded. "If you are the boys will be delighted." Harry added. "That won't help so I shall have it back." Harry said. "Unless your feeling sick from morning sickness this early." Harry said Draco shook his head Harry laughed kissing him before returning the potion to the cabinet. "I don't know what time I will be home today so don't wait up if I am not back early." Harry said grabbing his jacket. "Oh and nooky po's love you." Harry said laughing as the growl escaped Draco's lips he headed down to breakfast with the family.
"You look cheerful." James said to him.
"I have something to be happy about, mum Draco is going to the healer's today so you know keep an eye on him." Harry said.
"You think his pregnant?" Lily asked Harry shrugged as Draco came in. "Congratulations boys." she squealed Draco looked at Harry with a unsure smile.
"If you are then its great news Draco, we weren't planning on it but hey I couldn't be more happy." Harry said to him.
"What about your job?" Draco asked Harry sighed.
"I can't quit Draco, this is more important than anything I will ever do." Harry said to him.
"More important than your family." Draco snarled.
"Yes, I have a real chance to make a difference for all of us, a chance to break some barriers between our world and there's I have an obligation to try." Harry said to him Draco nodded. "You know I love you and the kids and the unborn ones and I will be around as much as possible every step of the way." Harry said to him. "I'm a working dad that's hard but for the right reasons." Harry added Draco nodded as he walked out of the door for his day.
Hphphphphp
"Draco Malfoy." The healer called Lily and Draco walked towards him. "You're a Veela male who thinks he may be pregnant yes?" the healer asked.
"That's about it." Draco said.
"Okay well change into a gown behind their and we will get started." the man said to him.
Five minutes later a very embarrassed Draco was laying on the bed.
"Okay this is going to be pretty quick Draco and very uncomfortable for you I apologise in advance." the healer then proceeded to lift his balls up making him gasp no one did that except for Harry Draco grasped as he felt the man's finger push into him somewhere where he shouldn't have a hole. "Okay I am done. Your pregnant Draco now to find out how far along you are." the man said. "Your birth sack is almost fully former so your about two weeks along the pain should stop soon enough." the man said. "Your due date is late July." he said. "And its twins." he added.
"Why so early?" Draco asked.
"This is your first child?" he asked Draco shook his head.
"My partner carried the twins, this is our second set my first time though." Draco said to him.
"Ah well Veela pregnancy lasts about six months." he said to Draco who nodded.
"That is going to please Harry." Lily said. "He is going to be delighted with the news come on then we can go tell him in person, I always wanted to see the white house from the inside." she said to her son in law.
Hphphphphp
"Harry you have visitors." Donna yelled just before the door opened to his office Draco walked in with a grin on his face Lily smiled at her son.
"Donna I don't want to be disturbed for a while." Harry said shutting the door and casting a anti listen charm on the room. "We are not going to be over heard so?" Harry asked.
"Twins in July." Draco said Harry yipped in delight picking him up kissing him on the lips.
"That's great news the boys are going to love it." Harry said to him. "Hey mum sorry ignoring you here to celebrate." Harry said she laughed kissing his cheek. "Wow, look I am going to be at the office till late but when we are done we can celebrate." Harry said to Draco. "Would you like a tour?" Harry asked them they nodded. "Donna." he yelled taking the wards down she popped her head round the door. "I'm going to give my better half and mother a tour so if the president needs me page me." Harry said to her she nodded.
"You sure you can do that?" Draco asked.
"As long as I don't give you any secrets we are fine, that door there is the door to the oval office, I am one of only two people who have direct access to the president." Harry said knocking on the door he heard a come in. "Sir do you have a moment?" Harry asked.
"Of course come in." Jed said to him he opened the door properly allowing the two people behind him in before closing the door. "And these two fine people would be?" he asked.
"My mum Lily and my better half Draco, sir I wanted you to be the first person I told." Harry said Jed looked at him as Draco took his hand. "In about five and a half months I am going to be the proud dad of a second set of twins." Harry said to him Jed took his glasses of before walking around the table to shake hands with the two new people.
"Congratulations your not carrying them though?" Bartlett asked.
"No Draco is, his just two weeks gone, but because of his racial physiology the pregnancy will last just six months." Harry said to him.
"What do you mean by that?" Bartlett asked.
"Well Draco is only partly human the rest of him is Veela, and Veela male pregnancies don't go as long as human male pregnancies." Harry said to him.
"Well then congratulations, the twins are back at school yes?" Jed asked Harry nodded. "Well we should arrange for you all to come to dinner the next time they are at home." Jed said.
"Thank you Mr. President we'd like that, sir I should let you get back to work Fitz will be by shortly." Harry said the man nodded before letting them leave through the secretary's door. "Good morning Mrs. Laningham." Harry said delving into her cookie jar.
"I'll let that slide since its you Harry but don't you dare tell the others." she said Harry laughed introducing her before continuing on with the tour.
"Why is their another desk in that room?" Draco asked.
"That's the president's point man's desk when we get around to appointing one, at the moment we have an intern helping out in that department, we'll get around to it eventually but we are just getting our feet under the table." Harry said to him Draco nodded. "This is my deputy's office which means his off running errands or hiding from Josh or possibly Toby or all of the above." Harry said to them. "I was going to get some lunch down stairs would you like to join me." Harry asked they smiled.
"We should get back your busy." Lily said.
"I was about to go to lunch anyway, and I need for Draco to meet the secret service detail that's attached to me." Harry said to him. "So he doesn't try to kill them, so shall we go get some lunch if I was busy I'd be pushing you out the door I have my pager and phone something comes up they'll call me." Harry assured his mother.
"You sure?" Draco asked.
"Yes I'm sure, just give me a minute." Harry said walking back to his office. "You want anything while I am down stairs?" he asked Donna.
"Tuna salad." Donna said.
"Water right?" he asked she nodded.
When they were down stairs sitting at the table with food Harry was finally able to relax, "So what do you think?" Harry asked.
"You have a big office, which is right next to the oval office with your own door that's pretty damn cool." Draco said to him as Harry munched on a hot plate of pasta from the kitchen.
"That takes a little getting used to it has to be said." Harry said to him checking his watch.
"You sure you don't have too get back?" Lily asked.
"No I'm just keeping track of the time I have a meeting with the cabinet in an hour." Harry said to her with a smile. "I have an half hour." Harry said to her.
"Settling in well though?" Draco asked.
"I can't help but think of my office as Leo's still, I have it under control most of the time." Harry said to him as his pager beeped Harry sighed checking it as his phone rang. "Yes, I'm on my way." Harry said. "Sam would you mind giving my family the tour I'm needed in the situation room." Harry said taking another mouthful of food. "Sorry about this but Sam can finish what I started, I'll see you all at home tonight." Harry said kissing them both before grabbing his jacket and heading out of the door without so much as a back wards glance at them.
"Does this happen that often?" Draco asked Sam.
"No not usually, I'm Sam Seaborne Harry's deputy chief of staff you want to finish your food before we continue on the tour." Sam asked them.
"Sure as long as you fill us in on Harry." Lily said Sam laughed.
"I'll try but I won't risk my job." Sam said with a mock unsure look on his face.
Hphphphphp
Harry walked into the situation room three steps ahead of the president or so it felt as he had just sat down when the man walked in, Harry rose again.
"As you were." Bartlett said Harry sat down.
"Nancy what do we have?" Harry asked Bartlett laughed.
"What he said." Bartlett said to her.
"Sorry Mr. President I didn't mean to over step my boundaries." Harry said.
"Its fine besides you usually ask that question and fill me in, Nancy." Bartlett prompted.
"One of our planes was shot down over Iraq." Nancy said.
"By plane I assume you mean a military plane not liner?" Harry asked.
"Yes a sea eagle." Nancy said.
"Do we have a team that can get in their and get our man out?" Harry asked.
"Woman." Fitz said.
"This gets better." Harry said to him.
"What do you suggest?" Bartlett asked.
"We have to get her out of there, sir if she is captured they will kill her, the women in that country are second class citizen, and while I am gay and have no interest in women what so ever I have a huge problem with that." Harry said to him.
"We concur." Nancy said.
"What about technology, presumably we blow the plane or some such?" Harry asked.
"If its intact enough for salvage." Nancy said to them.
"How long will it take to get the plan and personnel in place?" Bartlett asked.
"We have the Eisenhower in the area six hours for a retrieval team." Fitz said.
"Lets get our pilot back." Bartlett said to them as he stood up the rest did like wise Harry waited for the door to close.
"Did I just screw up?" Harry asked Nancy.
"No you did right, whether his in the room or not you need to be as up to date as he is so you can brief him and keep him apprised that is why your allowed in here, you did good for your first time in here." Fitz said to him.
"How long before I need to get him back in here?" Harry asked.
"Five and a half hours then we get back together." Nancy said to him.
"Thank you admiral, Nancy I'm going to go finish my lunch and break the bad news to my family that I'm not coming home tonight." Harry said walking out the door with a smile on his lips. "Thanks for the advice, I always thought this room would be smaller than this." Harry said he heard a chuckle.
Harry found his mother and Draco in his office with a cup of coffee and talking to Donna, "Donna can you let CJ know I want to talk to her." Harry said to the blond girl.
"Everything okay?" Draco asked Harry raised an eyebrow. "You can't talk about it?" Draco asked Harry nodded. "We brought your dinner up here." Draco said to him. "And a fresh cup of coffee." Draco added.
"Thanks, its two now don't wait up." Harry said to them.
"That bad uh." Lily said to him.
"That bad." Harry said she nodded CJ popped her head round the door. "CJ come on in, have you met Draco and my Mum?" Harry asked.
"They came by with Sam earlier, you wanted to talk to me and I wanted to talk to you." CJ said to him.
"I'm sorry guys but this is one meeting that I need to have, I'll see you at home." Harry said to them they nodded.
"Eat." Lily said to him before leaving.
"Shut the door CJ." Harry said to her before sitting down and opening his food up sipping the coffee.
"Danny as a source in the DOD about a downed fighter in Iraq." CJ said.
"Didn't take him long to get a hold of it." Harry said. "We have a downed female pilot in Iraq, and you need to stone wall him as long as possible I don't want this on the evening news, we have a rescue mission in place and if this is on the news that woman's life is at risk tell him to sit on it and I'll get him five minutes with the president." Harry said to her.
"You think you can get that." CJ asked.
"Lets go see." Harry said rising with another bite of his food before heading for the door to the presidents office he knocked. 'come in.' he heard before opening the door.
"Harry, CJ what do you have for me?" Bartlett asked.
"Danny has the story." Harry said to him. "I think we let him go with the story sir we compromise the rescue." Harry said.
"I agree what do we have to do to keep him quiet." Bartlett asked.
"Some personal time with you should do it." Harry said.
"More than I already give them?" Bartlett asked Harry laughed.
"Sir we don't give them private time with you, I say five or ten minutes for a talk on the record about plans and so on nothing major just enough to get him to shut up shop until after we are done in Iraq." Harry said.
"Get it done." Bartlett said CJ nodded as she left the room. "How are you settling in?" Bartlett asked.
"I have to say it's a little strange, I don't know whether I should be sitting back and letting it flow or butting in half the time and the situation room thing a little while ago didn't help." Harry said to her with a smile.
"Your doing a good job." Jed said to him.
"Sir Leo had thirty years of preparation for this job, I had two weeks I don't know whether I am coming or going." Harry said to him as Jed passed him a whiskey. "Thank you sir." Harry said to him.
"You concerned about being a father again?" Jed asked.
"No sir, I think I even have a name for if their boys." Harry said to him the man laughed. "The twins are growing up, it seems like yesterday I was handed them for the first time." Harry said. "Blink and you miss it stuff." Harry said the man laughed as they sipped their drink.
"This is going to be a long day." Jed said to him.
"Yes sir it is, we need to get you a point man." Harry said to him.
"I agree." Jed said.
"Sir is their something you need to tell me?" Harry asked. "I know that I have seen the first lady injecting you regularly and as your chief of staff if there is a medical condition I need to know about it." Harry said to him the president looked at him. "I'm covered by the doctor patient confidentiality, darn that medical degree." Harry said to him the man laughed.
"I have MS. May I ask you how you recognized." Jed asked.
"Kaden as diabetes's, I inject him from time to time and I injected him when he was smaller." Harry said to the president. "He had a high when he was three and we nearly lost him, that was how we discovered the illness." Harry said to him.
"We meaning?" Bartlett asked.
"Myself and the nanny." Harry said to him.
"This doesn't leave this room." Jed said to him.
"They'll get a hold of it sir, we can't hide this forever your wife should have told you that and if she didn't she hasn't done her job properly." Harry said to him.
"You don't get to say that to me Harry." Bartlett said angrily.
"Sir someone has to, your playing with your health and we have an idiot for a VP who I don't trust to open a can of beans without being told how to… we need to be prepared for anything and we need to be prepared to release this before they do." Harry said to him.
"That's my VP your talking about." Bartlett said amused and angry.
"Your like a father to me sir, I respect you enough not to blow a gasket at you I'll use my godfather for a bashing pole when I get home or something, you have always been kind to me and my family allowing me time of when the kids were ill or had an accident or a fight at school. I say what I say to you about MS because I care maybe to much for an employee but I have never been able to stop that part of me." Harry said to him.
"Its what makes you a good dad." Jed said patting his shoulder.
"Sir I'm a part time dad in disguise of a full time dad, my kids don't get to see me nearly as much as they should you and I are the only people in the senior staff with children, do you think they'll resent that later." Harry asked. "My kids are nearly teenagers." Harry said Bartlett laughed. "If I were human I'd say it was old age settling in." Harry said Jed laughed.
"You do good Harry by them." Jed said to him Harry smiled. "You know that Abby and I hell the kids think of you as family, you get an invitation to join us for Christmas at the farm every year and an invitation to join us for thanksgiving you never take." Jed said to him Harry laughed.
"Thank you sir." Harry said Jed patted his leg.
"I want you and your family to join us for easter dinner." Jed said. "We're having turkey." Jed said.
"I'm vegetarian sir." Harry said.
"Your always eating pasta and meat." Jed said.
"Quorn, I didn't have a happy childhood I was abused sir, my uncle and aunt used raw meet as a punishment or when they didn't think I deserved cooked meat, I was so hungry most of the time that I'd eat it even if I knew it was going to make me ill because for a little while it took the hunger pains away." Harry said to him.
"You never said anything about that." Jed said shocked by what he had said.
"Sir no offence but it was personal and I don't like to talk about it." Harry said to him. "Its behind me, and I would prefer you didn't bring it up with my parents I just got them back." Harry said to him.
"Explain that." Jed said.
"The timeline I came from they died, when I was thrown back to the year I was born pregnant and alone things changed. I was going to become an auror the wizarding worlds version of the army, when I came here and found out I was pregnant I took up law I already had medicine under my belt. When you came to me in New Mexico and asked me to join your staff I wondered why, Leo told me that you'd heard of this medical doctor with insane ideas of grandeur." Harry said to him with a smile on his face.
"You were insane." Jed said to him.
"Yes I was, but then again insane is catching and half the time sir your insane its what endears you to everyone." Harry said to him.
