Last time on Baby Mine

Pregnant; he was pregnant. The sudden feeling of joy that filled him made him want to jump around like a child, it wanted him to stay in Draco's arms forever, yet it also filled him with a chilling fear and a sense of foreboding. Sure, Voldemort was dead, but there were still some Death Eater's about, not to mention some people in the school didn't agree to his and Draco's get together. Covering his abdomen, where he could now feel a small bump, he whispered a silent prayer that everything would go smoothly for both them, and the baby.

Draco tightened his hold he had on the him mate, and placed a love and awe-filled kiss he on top of Harry's head. Harry sighed in contentment. They were almost a family.

And now...

Baby Mine Chapter 4
Telling the Family

Draco was nervous.

His breathing became slightly laboured as he sat in the headmaster's office. He licked his lips nervously before his eyes quickly darted over to the door that held his freedom. He could live another day without this right? 'I mean it's not so important that I do this... right?' He asked himself as his hands clenched the arms of the armchair the headmaster had gracefully transfigured.

"Mr Malfoy," Dumbledore said softly, watching as the young man in front of him wore his nerves worn. "Mr Malfoy. Your mother and father will be here very soon, as well as Remus. Harry should be arriving soon." Dumbledore smiled gently at the young man. In so many aspects, young Draconis Malfoy was still a boy in mind, yet a young man in body.

The door to the headmaster's office opened and a raven head popped into the small gap it made. Harry smiled politely at Albus and Draco, before opening the door slightly wider to allow himself inside. Behind him, Remus appeared, the man looking slightly worn but as healthy as the man could get.

Kissing Draco on the cheek, Harry sat in the blonde's lap, shifting his weight to get comfortable. Once comfy enough he smiled at the headmaster. "Hello, Professor Dumbledore." He said politely.

"Ah, Harry my boy." Albus replied, standing to conjure another chair for the werewolf, who stood to the side amused. "Lemon drop?" Harry shook his head, saying no thank you. "Or might I interest you in some tea?"

"No tea for me, please Headmaster. I'm trying to keep this-- uhh... myself as healthy as possible, so no caffeine whatsoever." Harry replied politely, sending a quick smile to Albus who had just lengthened Draco's armchair. Now he could sit next to Draco and cuddle into his side.

A flash of green in the fireplace quickly signalled the arrival of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. Draco quickly stood, gently hugging his mother, as if she were a fragile doll, before pulling away and kissing her softly on the cheek. To his father, he gave a grasp of the wrist, which was immediately changed into a hug, manly, but still a hug.

"Mother, Father, I am happy that you could make it." Draco said before offering his arm to his mother and guiding her to a seat. The headmaster had, once again, lengthened the armchair-turned-love-seat that Harry was resting on so that it could easily accommodate four or five people. Draco sat Narcissa next to Harry, who immediately began talking to the older woman, and gestured for his father to join them.

After they were all seated, Draco sat back down next to Harry, who was still talking delightfully with Narcissa. Draco cleared his throat, which caused Harry and Narcissa to pause in their conversation.

"Mother, Father," Draco began. His tongue flickered out to lick his lips. "There is some... news... that I must give you. As you know, Harry is my mate, and we have been together for a while now. A month ago, we had agreed to the mates bond, and completed it. Mother, Father, I hope you are not disappointed in me but... Harry's-"

Draco paused as Narcissa let out a little laugh of delight. She knew exactly what Draco was saying and was happy for Harry and her son. Immediately, she turned and hugged Harry, then stood and hugged Draco.

"I am happy for the both of you, and accept this. Draco, have no worries, I have wanted at least one grandchild before I get too old." Narcissa smiled gently and then kissed her son's cheek. Walking back towards the sofa, she raised an eyebrow at the lethargic Lucius Malfoy. She cleared her throat at the man, making him snap back into reality, before sitting beside him.

(A/N: I totally forgot about Remus being there... )

Remus sat in a small chair at the side and observed the situation. Obviously, he could smell the scent of Veela on Harry, and knew that he and the Malfoy heir had been together for a while. He could also smell that Harry was pregnant, but the big question was, how was Draco going to provide and keep Harry - as well as the pup - safe. He stood and walked towards Draco.

Draco could see the werewolf walking towards him and saw Harry stiffen and get ready to get to his feet. Gently, Draco discreetly shook his head, wanting to keep Harry safe. Harry pouted in return. Focusing so much on each other, they missed the small smile Remus had on his face. Remus was happy that Draco could take care of his own battles, and wouldn't allow Harry to interfere if there was something wrong.

"Mr Malfoy," Remus began. "I understand that you have gotten my cub pregnant. What do you have to say for yourself? How do you expect to provide for a baby whilst still in school and not even after your NEWTs? Do you expect Harry to look after the baby by himself or are you going to leave him like so many fathers your age have done?"

"Remus..." Harry began, before the man snapped at him.

"Stay out of it, Harry." Remus immediately replied, even though he knew his cub would feel hurt about it. "Well, Mr Malfoy, do answer for us."

Draco could see his mother stopping his father from speaking, and she had the right to do so. It was time for her son to fight the battle for himself. He could not always hide behind herself and her husband. It was time for him to speak up.

"Mr Lupin, Remus if I may?" He saw the man give a short nod. "Remus, I have intended to stay for your... cub... for a very long time. We are mates, and even if we were not, I would stay with him. Harry is a wonderful person and has a personality that outshines the rest of this place. I love Harry very much and he has given me a gift that not many others can say they have.

Even though Harry is pregnant, we will continue to study for our NEWTs and gain enough to support ourselves financially. Even if we do not, I will work my hardest to get everything Harry and the baby would need, even though we need not to work. The Malfoy fund is enough to afford for the baby and Harry's comfort. I know that we should have waited to mate, but we love each other. That is what counts to myself, and I am sure, Harry also. As long as we love each other, I am sure we can make it through this."

"Draco..." Harry whispered with tears in his eyes. He knew his mate loved him, but that much? It was amazing.

Remus smiled gently at the nervous Slytherin. "Welcome to the family Draco." He said, before grasping the young man's hand in welcome.

"Draco." Lucius finally said. "I am proud of you. I expect you to keep the promise of caring for your mate as you have since your bonding night. If you may excuse us, your mother and I have business to continue at home." Lucius gave a smile to his son, making Draco gasp in surprise. His father never smiled in public, but he would need to... These people in the room were now family.

"Thank you, Father, Mother, Remus." Draco said. "We are sure to remember this."

Lucius and Narcissa said their goodbyes to Harry and then Draco, nodding towards Dumbledore and Remus before exiting via the fireplace. Remus smiled and also gave his excuses and left. Draco offered Harry a hand to get up and he took it. Pulling Harry towards him, he kissed Harry's head before nodding towards the headmaster in thanks. Albus smiled in reply and waved his hand at the door which opened. He could see that both of the boys were tired, and allowed them to leave.

"It went alright, didn't it Dragon?" Harry said in sleepy awe. Yawning slightly, he wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck, allowing Draco to pick him up if he wanted. Never to fail a chance to pick up his mate, Draco lifted Harry into his arms and kissed him gently.

"Yes Baby," Draco whispered into his mates ear as he used the shortcuts to go towards the Slytherin dorms. "It went alright..."

He whispered the password to the portrait and watched as it swung open, then stepped inside, walking towards his private rooms. He lay Harry on the bed gently, taking off his shoes and spelling off his clothes until he was left in his boxers. Placing down his wand, he stripped himself down to his boxers, before drawing the hangers around his bed. Wrapping his arms around the smaller male, he kissed Harry where the faded scar was, watching as Harry snuggled into him before closing his eyes to sleep.

"It went alright..."

Draco: Of course I do baby!
