~`~`~Chapter 7- Family~`~`~
Months had past and everything had settled into a nice rhythm for the two men and Teddy. Draco had started his job at the ministries ground division. He was responsible for doing the final check on all items and people not employed by the ministry entering the ministry; he was also in charge of figuring out new ways to keep muggles out, since four had found their ways in last month alone. He seemed to greatly enjoy his job; he had a position within the magical community without being surrounded by it.
Even though Harry was very happy that Draco seemed to be adapting well the man's behavior was still hard to get used to. Every morning Harry would be woken at 4:30 am by the soft numbers being grunted out by Draco as he did 200 push-ups, he was then kept awake as the man moved onto 300 sit-ups, and 60 pull-ups. All of which were counted out in different languages, first German, then French, and finally Spanish.
He would then get possible an hour more of sleep before Teddy would come in and tell him all about the wonderful breakfast Draco had made. Draco would then get Teddy ready for school, make his lunch (which Harry had never done), and walk him to the bus stop. He would then jog six blocks around the park to get back home pulling Harry into the shower with him before he left for work.
He would work 8:30 am until 4pm when he would leave to go pick Teddy up from his piano class with Mrs. Harper next door. Draco had believed that the piano class would be a better for Teddy then walking home from the bus stop and spending hours alone. He would fix Teddy a snack and helped him with his homework and review what he learned from Mrs. Harper. Harry would arrive home at 6:30, he always found Teddy and Draco standing in the kitchen making dinner. He smiled when he stepped through the floo and saw flour on the floor. How Harry loved pizza night. He chuckled when he heard Teddy shriek before giggling uncontrollably.
"Daddy!" Teddy came running out from the kitchen covered in pizza sauce and flour, he jumped into Harry's arms laughing. "Papa is going to kill me."
"Theodor Lupin! You little brat get back here!" Draco appeared in to doorway pulling the remands of pizza off his face.
"What did you do Teddy?" Harry covered his face, trying not to smile.
"I wanted to toss a pizza like Papa can, you know in the air?" He asked smiling.
"Teddy I told you that I would let you next week…we had already put the toppings on the pizza." Draco growled and Harry couldn't help it and he started laughing, he placed Teddy down and went to wipe the sauce off Draco's face.
"I love you." He kissed Draco quickly, smiling brightly when Teddy erupted in disgust before running back to the kitchen. Watching him run out Harry finally noticed a bag placed on the stones by the fireplace. "What's that?" he smirked kissing Draco yet again.
"After diner I will be dropping our abhorrible- I mean adorable-" Harry slapped the other man's shoulder, which caused him to chuckle "-son off with his grandmother." He grabbed Harry's left hand bringing it up to his mouth. "We haven't been able to properly celebrate this yet." He kissed the engagement ring on Harrys finger. They kissed for a moment before Draco suddenly pulled away "Our six year old sociopath is alone in the kitchen." Harry hit him again pushing him in the direction of the kitchen.
"I'll be right there boys." He called after Draco as he walked over to the bag; he opened it and smiled, pulling out the stuffed wolf Draco had given him, he would not leave home for the night without it anymore. Harry smiled placing the animal back into the bag. Draco was an amazing father, to the point where Harry felt threatened by it. Harry never made him real food for breakfast, just cereal. He never walked him to the bus but had the neighbor who also had kids on the morning bus walk him. He barely ever helped with homework, and dinner was usually take-out or frozen. It had taken Teddy five years to call him dad and one week to fall in love with Draco and start calling him Papa.
"Harry! Do you want wine or a beer?" Draco called from the dining room, he quickly walked in, taking the beer from the other man's hand and smiled when he saw Teddy setting the table. "We are using the dinosaur plates tonight." Draco smiled holding the paper plate up showing Harry the T-Rex printed on it.
"We learned about a new one today, called a pailosoaurouces" Teddy smiled
"Pliosaurus" Draco corrects leaving the room to get the pizza that had been cooking.
"That's what I said!" Teddy called after him laughing.
"That's awesome Teddy" Harry smiled ruffling the blonde-haired boy sitting down next to him. Blonde was his new favorite, that and bright gray eyes, Harry would be lying if he said he wasn't jealous.
"Yeah, Papa said he would help me draw a picture of one tomorrow for class on Monday." He smiled up at Draco who was cutting up a piece of pizza on his plate, the boy was mess prone, and there was no way he was dropping a whole slice of pizza on the shirt Draco had just cleaned. "Right, Papa?" He grabbed apiece popping it to his mouth.
"Of course I am, I have this weekend off, so when you come home tomorrow afternoon we will work on your piano before math and then after dinner we'll work on the drawing. His teacher called me this afternoon; he turned his math test into a paper plane today." Draco glanced at the boy who dropped his head down against his chest. "His hair also changed colors again; the teacher is asking questions." Teddy sniffled, his hair turned blue.
"Why didn't the Miss Lu call me?" Harry didn't mean to make that sound like he had taken it so personal.
"She said she tried a few times, said you would call back after your class, but never did, so she called me." Draco placed his hand onto Harry's.
"The Hippogriffs got out, second years again…Teddy I'm so sorry." The boy shrugged eating his pizza quietly.
"No one blames you Harry. Parents night is tomorrow night which we will all be going to and explaining everything." Draco rolled his eyes and smiled when both Harry and Teddy nodded without looking up from their plates. "Do you want me to talk to these kids that keep messing with your animals, I have an idea that one of them might have a little crush on you and want your attention." Harry rolled his eyes
"Its fine, I don't need you to show me up at my job too." He mumbled angrily biting his pizza, and of course, it tasted fantastic, he slammed it down onto the table, making Teddy jump. He hated when the two grown men fought, and by that he meant when Harry yelled and Draco listened calmly.
"Daddy please, Papa didn't do anything, why are you always yelling at him?!" Teddy yelled, his eyes flashed yellow and his hair turned red with anger.
"Teddy your Daddy doesn't mean it, you yell at us sometimes too when you're angry, right?" The boy nodded to Draco "apologize to you father and go get your shoes on, I'll call your grandmother and tell her your coming over early." Draco sighed after the boy gave a quick sorry and ran away. "Can whatever this is about wait five minutes so I can get our son to his Grandmothers…or is this one of those times when he is 'your' son." Draco stood going to leave the room, but he stopped walking and turned back. "I am sorry, that was uncalled for, but Harry you have to understand that of course I'm better at this then you. I had a six year break before this, you went from one stressful thing to the next, you need to relax." He stepped over to Harry kneeling in front of him. "Let's go on a per-wedding vacation, you and me, I'll even go somewhere sunny." He was answered with a smile and a kiss.
"You'd go to a beach?" Harry smiled when the other man nodded "You'd burn and look like a lobster though." Draco nodded and kissed him.
"The things I'll do for love." Harry cupped Draco's face in his hands and kissed him. They did not stop kissing till Draco was laying on the floor with Harry on top of him.
"I'm in the room now." Harry shot up off Draco and smiled at Teddy. "I called Gran, she's here so I'm leaving now." He turned away from them but stopped. "Don't fight anymore. Goodnight." He stomped away shouting I love you before leaving with his Grandmother. Draco and Andromeda had an agreement he did not want to see her unless it was impossible to talk over the phone or by floo.
"He is so over emotional sometimes." Draco said pulling Harry back down on top of him.
"Says the man that didn't have emotion till I touched his penis," Harry smirked and Draco bust out laughing. He rolled them over so he was now on top of Harry and kissed the other man firmly on the lips. He could not resist untucking Harry shirt and slipping his hands under it feeling the heat of the other man's skin before he even touched him.
"I need to clean up, go shower and I'll be up by the time you're done…and then we can get you dirty again." Draco chuckled when he saw Harry blush bright red and nod. The two separated, stood and Draco bite his lips as he watched Harry walk away. "This can wait." He smiled running after the man who was now racing up the stairs laughing.
"Draco stop, I smell like work." That was true, Draco smiled as he wrapped his arms around Harry's waist, the smell of cigars and cigarettes from the ministry's break room mixed in with strawberry jam and the faint taste of whiskey, he must of have had at the bar with Ron before coming home that night. His tongue swept over Harrys and he smiled pulling away briefly so he could open the door to their bedroom, before throwing Harry onto the bed.
Harry was glad he had learned that spell that would repair torn off buttons; Draco seemed to rather rip them off then simply unbutton his shirt. He rolled his eyes and chuckled as his shirt was torn off his body, shortly followed by his pants and boxers. He ran his hand through Draco's now silky hair; the dreads had lasted about four weeks after his release. He gently pushed on the other man's shoulder and Draco stopped kissing him and smiled.
"I get it." He laughed kissing his way down Harry's chest. Harry back arched and he gasped when Draco's hot mouth covered his growing arousal, it didn't take long before he was fully hard and clenching the sheets below him. He felt Draco's fingers working their way in and out of him, he raised his knees higher, giving, making himself more comfortable with the intrusion. Draco mouth pulled off of him making an absence popping noise. He took a deep breath in as Draco placed his hands under Harry's knees pulling his legs up and apart even more, he moaned as he felt the head of Draco's cock gently push inside of him. The movements of their bodies became fluid and the power behind Draco's thrust had Harry moaning and the bed squeaking.
"Oh God…oh Draco!...I love you, right there, yes yes yes!" he screamed, Draco had angled his hips so that he was thrusting directly into that oh so perfect spot inside of him. The man fucked like he played piano, every note masterfully hit to create a beautiful sonnet. It wasn't long before both men were panting and they reached their climax almost simultaneously.
After pulling out Draco helped Harry stand and smiled when the other man laughed at being picked up and carried to the shower. Instead of a shower though, Draco gently ran his hand across the tubs ledge, it filled with water quickly and then he placed his hand inside of it making sure and adjusting it to the perfect temperature. He slide in, waving for Harry to join him. They sat in silence for a few minutes just enjoying each other's company, without the worry of Teddy running in.
"Harry love, about earlier…what did you mean but me showing you up?" Draco asked curiously, he knew Harry might react badly to this question but it had been worrying him since he said it.
"I was just mad about Teddy's teacher. Draco I worked so hard to give him a life I never got, but I didn't realize how horrible of a job I was doing till you arrived. I never made Teddy food or packed a lunch, the neighbor walked him to the bus stop and Hermione or Andromeda would watch him after school till my class and work was done. I had no idea he was struggling with reading till you told me, or that his math grade was so low." Harry sighed leaning back against the other man, who in turn wrapped his arms around him. "You work full time, clean, and cook everything, yet you still have time for Teddy and me. I fill like most days…Teddy likes you more." He chuckled sadly "That sounds ridiculous to say." He felt a kiss placed on his shoulder.
"Harry, I…struggled as a child, but the one thing I promised myself was that I would never treat my child even a tenth of the way my father treated me. As I said earlier, you were throwing into being so many different things as a young adult, first Voldemort then being a Father at 18. You didn't have to take Teddy in but you did, as always you're the hero." He smiled when Harry tried to elbow him. "And just so you know, Teddy asked me not to tell you out of embarrassment, but he wrote a storybook about you for school." Harry turned his head to look at Draco's face, his brow raised in confusion. "I title of which was 'Harry Potter, the best 2nd Dad ever' I asked who the first was and he said Moony." Harry turned his head away and tried not to cry but Draco caught him and smiled kissing his cheek. "Love, he loves you more the anything, he tells me every day that he is going to be in your class and he is going to play quidditch like you and be a professor like you…he wants to be just like you." Draco tightened his arms, giving Harry a squeeze before pulling him out of the tub. He wrapped a towel around his waist handing one to Harry, before walking back towards the bedroom.
"Draco?" Harry called just as he reached the doorway.
"Yes love?" He turned and smiled at the look on Harry's face, one of pure happiness.
"I want to have a baby" His jaw dropped in shook as Harry continued to smile.
