Pairing: DracoxHarry, ScorpiusxAlbus, GeorgexFred, BillxFleur, TeddyxVictoire

Fandom : HP

Notes: Post Series/slight AU; part of my universe with Hiding in the Shadows, true sequel to Undeniable- takes place about one year after the Epilogue. Draco and Harry's eldest son and his wife are expecting their first child; Draco refuses to accept he is 'old'. Draco has a hard time dealing with an 'empty nest'; four children at Hogwarts and no little ones running around anymore. George is having a hard time, as his daughters grow up, Fred is seemingly farther away and he feels more alone then ever. All that is truly left of the slightly older Weasley twin is a portrait, or is it?

Chapter 9

Fall was definitely baby season; with Mother expecting twin boys and George too but he was about two months behind mother. His babies, Harry's and Charlie's were within a week of each other but they were all about two and a half weeks behind George's pregnancy.

Draco was now three months along and so was Harry. The weight gain and morning sickness was starting to make themselves known. The gradual swelling of his stomach was making him so happy.

Harry groaned, "Merlin, how long does this nausea last?"

Draco swallowed back bile before answering, "It depends; somewhere between three months and then rest of the pregnancy."

"Hell, why did I want this again?" Harry tried to stay very still so he wouldn't actually be sick.

"You wanted to see the what the fuss was about? To make up for denying me a choice is in being pregnant for six years?"

"Must have been crazy."

Dippy popped into their bedroom, "Anti-Nausea and prenatal vitamin potions."

Draco grinned; Severus was brewing up a storm no doubt with six pregnancies in the family. Seven if you ignore the fact that Victoire was about to give birth in about a month and half, in five weeks he'd be a grandfather but in three months have two little brothers and then in six months he'd be changing his own babies diapers again.

Saturday, WWW was in the 'capable' hands of Lee Jordan and Fred's portrait with the three living partners on parental leave. The only person more excited about their babies was Dippy; she missed taking care of Master Draco's babies. Andromeda had whined she was too old for babies; Harry and Draco were making her a grandmother again and Teddy was making her a great-grandmother. Molly Weasley might have to hold family events at the Manor. That would rankle Weasel to no end.

When their nausea quieted for the day, Draco and Harry made their way to the dining room for breakfast.

To their surprise waiting for were Albus and Scorpius.

Scorpius looked paler then usual, "I know you wanted the babied to be a surprise papa but this is one surprise I wouldn't want."

Draco stared at his strange son, "What do you mean?"

"You are about to out produce Arthur Weasley Dad."

"Pardon?" Harry was confused.

"Ten children."

Draco stammered, "Ten? That's impossible."

"Highly fertile hermaphrodite indeed." Scorpius deadpanned.

Harry's jaw dropped, "Tell me you're joking."

"Go check the tapestry if you don't believe me." Scorpius didn't look his fathers in the face, he just chugged a potion.

"Scorp, what is that?" Albus asked worried.

"Nothing you need to worry about Asp. It won't hurt me."

"The Tapestry is Glamoured, I did that." Draco protested.

"Foolish, but I unGlamoured it as soon as I arrived." Scorpius poured himself juice to rinse the potion out of his mouth.

Harry and Draco hurried to the study, their youngest sons behind them, breakfast forgotten.

Draco blinked, "Triplets? Salazar's Cauldron!"

Harry gulped, "Five? Oh Hell!" he had been glad he had three months to get used to have three months to get used to the idea of having two maybe three babies between their two pregnancies but five? He thought raising rambunctious, brave Teddy; clingy, loveable Jaime; Independent, wildly talented Scorpius; bright but shy Albus and fiery Lily was nerve-racking. Now they had Titania, Vesta, Tritan, Colin and Ianto? Three boys and two girls; could they give some away? Their vaults could handle it but could two thirty-six years old wizards handle five babies at once? "How about giving one to Andromeda and one to Victoire? We can raise three, we've done it before but five?"

"No! They're my babies and I want them all! I don't care if I have to retire from WWW as their resident potioneer! I'm not giving away my babies. I've been waiting six years at least for them and I'm not giving them up!"

"But Dray!"

"But nothing!" Draco folded his arms, "I'm not giving my babies up."

Harry collapsed in an armchair; "Hell!" this was his 'brilliant' idea. 'Dray, why don't we both be pregnant'.

Andromeda followed the raised voices a little worried to the study to find her nephew, his husband and their youngest sons. Draco looked indignant, Harry panicked, Albus worried and Scorpius resigned.

"I knew you needed to know early. I had to be sure which is why I didn't say anything before. I knew there would be five but their names I wasn't sure of." Scorpius summoned two Calming Droughts for his fathers.

Five? Andromeda glanced at the Tapestry and blinked seeing the eleven new names; Cissy and George's twins weren't surprises but Harry's twin and Merlin! Draco was having triplets? No wonder they weighed more then Draco had at three months when he was carrying Scorpius. She missed Ted now more then ever; Cissy was three years younger and still having children. Draco would be a parent in five to six months and Teddy would be a father in six weeks. Having Nymphadora had been a blessing despite the difficult pregnancy. Ultimately, it was her only one; complications during the birth rendered her incapable of getting pregnant again.

Draco swallowed, could they really handle raising five babies and four teenagers?

"Don't worry about us papa." Scorpius said with a pained smile, "James won't be having kids for at least four years and current circumstances require me to restrain myself until Asp is at least eighteen."

Draco stared at his son; Scorpius was a teenage 'boy' with the wild hormones of a hermaphrodite and a Veela. If Al was his mate he had not pursued Albus the way Fleur, Blaise and Victoire had pursued theirs.

"True, I am treading a fine line. I can't compromise Asp's magic to protect my own. I don't need to be at my best just yet. I am not meant to have his children yet."

"Compromise my magic? How?" Albus was concerned.

"All will be revealed when the time is right. I can only tell so much without jeopardizing what must be." Scorpius said staring at the tapestry.

Once more their strange son spoke with a shadow on his tongue.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

A/N: I know it's not a real chapter but I thought this might be helpful to those interested in birthdays and keeping track which kid belongs to who.

The formatting got messed with by so I'm a bit annoyed. I can't get it to leave spaces between the families.
