Summary: The war has ended. Countless deaths on both sides bring sadness and joy all rolled into one. However, there is a light at the end of every tunnel and only those with the will to move forward will find that eternal light.
Love Transcends Time and Oceans
Harry stared at the man in front of him. Time had done nothing to disturb his handsome appearance. His messy bronze hair, his golden eyes, his pale skin, it was all the same. It was Edward….he wasn't dreaming…it was Edward.
He moved towards the stock still man and touched his face. Edward moved his hand atop Harry's and brought it to his lips. He kissed the pulse on Harry's hand and savored the taste upon his lips…it was his Harry….he wasn't a ghost…it was his Harry.
Harry smiled and lunged at Edward. The boy caught him and held him in a tight embrace. Edward buried his face in the boy's neck just like he had done so many years ago and breathed in his mates unique scent.
"I'm sorry." Harry finally said as he pulled back to get a good look at Edward's face.
Edward shook his head and kissed Harry softly, "It wasn't like you planned to find me on that ship. Or are you that good of a wizard?"
"Luna told you?" Harry asked as he pulled back slightly, "How much do you know?"
Edward caressed the boy's face, "Everything up to the ship…well everything she knew."
Taking in his calm demeanor, Harry assumed that Luna had kept everything about the babies and their move to herself.
Harry bit his bottom lip before moving away from Edward. He sat on the piano bench and thought of the best way to tell Edward that he was a daddy!
Edward watched Harry carefully before he realized exactly what it was Harry was sitting in front of, "Harry….is that…my piano?" he asked as he got closer to it. He passed his hands over the keys before sitting next to Harry.
Harry nodded and smiled sheepishly, "That's why Luna and I were soaked to the bone when you guys came into our room…"
Edward turned to Harry with his mouth hanging open, "Harry! You could have gotten hurt! I imagine this thing was very much underwater by the time you got to it! Your worth more to me than any piano Harry! I love you…"
Harry blushed and lowered his head….well he was more pleased than sorry for the little stunt he pulled, but he had to at least pretend to be shamed face!
"I love you too…its just…I was scared…I didn't know when I'd be able to see you again and I…wanted something to remember you by…Luna told you things about me…you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me ever! I didn't want…to wake up one day in the middle of the war and realize you were just the dream of a lonely boy that was slowly losing hope and his sanity…."
Edward listened quietly as Harry went on and on about how much he had just wanted to grab Edward and Carlisle and Esme and just take them with him and Luna. As Harry took a deep breath and continued on, Edward felt that if he didn't stop the boy he would talk himself to death. He grabbed Harry's face and brought him forward into a sweet kiss. Harry blushed as Edward chuckled.
"Harry, I get it. I'm not mad that you took the piano. It was a fair trade, I took your coin and you took my piano. Let's say we're even and move forward."
Harry smiled and fiddled with his a few keys on the piano, "Well…Edward…the thing is, they piano wasn't the only thing I kept with me…I kinda unknowingly took something else that belongs to you…more specifically both of us…"
Edward lifted an eyebrow and stared at Harry, "What do you mean?"
"Well….I can show you better than I can tell you but….first thing first, how much do you know about my world?"
"Just what Luna told me and a little of what Carlisle and I researched when the coins started getting messages from the D.A. I believe Luna said it was called."
Harry nodded and sat on the bed, "How much do you know about mates?"
"Just what Carlisle and Esme have told me, that mates are pretty much a whole being and they become uncomfortable when they are away from each other for long periods of time. While it is possible for them to do so their bond will always bring them back. Just like us." he said as he got up and kneeled in front of Harry and smiled. Harry grinned and placed his hand on Edward's face.
"Very good, well here is what I learned just about ten months ago….apparently in the Wizarding world there have been cases just like ours were a vampire or another race of mythical beings have a wizard or witch mate. When that occurs….it doesn't matter whether the couple are of the same sex or not. There is a good chance that the submissive mate will become pregnant if and when the couple actually have sex. The submissive mate can also only become impregnated by the dominate mate."
Edward tilted his head then smiled, "Does that mean you and I…can have children?"
"Yes."
"Wait…Harry are you?"
"No! No, I'm….well….how can I say this….you're not against the idea are you?"
"No, I'm not! I would love to start a family with you!" Edward said as he locked his eyes with Harry's. "That would make me the happiest man on earth! I mean I realize that our relationship is moving much faster than what is considered normal but, you and I aren't exactly normal and for some reason….I'm perfectly fine with that."
"Damn, we are a weird couple…." Harry said as he let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding and looked to the corner of his room. Teddy had been taken by Andromeda, but his kids were still very much in the room.
Harry moved form the bench and stopped near the window on the left side of his room.
"Harry what's going on?...you still have something that you're not revealing to me…what is it?" Edward said as he moved behind Harry and hugged him from behind. He stared at the space between Harry and the window. For some reason he felt that there was something there….
"I can show you better than I can tell you," Harry whispered as he reached forward and removed the invisibility cloak from his babies crib. Edward's eyes widen as he moved from Harry and stood in front of the children. There was no denying it, they were his. The one the left even had his same hair color. He turned to Harry silently asking if he could touch them. Harry smiled and nodded.
Edward moved to the left side the crib and touched one of the baby's cheek. The boy stirred a bit and gripped Edward's hand. The other boy then woke up slightly and opened his eyes. The baby gurgled and smiled at Edward before shutting his eyes and going back to sleep.
"They just fed," Harry said, "They wont be fully awake for another hour and a half."
"When…were they born?"
"Last month. We came here as soon as I was able to move. The pregnancy took a lot of my strength and the others pretty much forbade me from going anywhere." Harry said as he passed a hand through James' hair.
Edward looked up to see Harry smiling down at their children. He found no words say. The love of his life had given him the most amazing gift anyone would ever give him. If he could cry, Edward knew he would be doing so at that very moment. He looked back down at his boys, "What are their names?" he whispered.
Harry smiled and moved next to Edward who instinctively put an arm around the smaller boy's waist. "The one holding your hand is Carlisle Sirius, he's the youngest, and the other one is Edward James. To avoid confusion Luna and the others just call them Sirius and James. Teddy calls the Ed and Carl though, we honestly don't know why…." Harry said as he tapped his chin in thought. Next thing he knew Edward had brought him into a passionate kiss. Harry ran his hands through Edward's hair as he responded to the very much appreciated kiss.
As they separated Edward fell to one knee and held onto Harry's left hand. Harry's eyes widened as he saw Edward pull out a small white box.
"Harry, I know that you have been through a lot in your short life and I know that you have forced yourself to depend on no one but yourself, but would you please allow me to become the one person you can turn to without doubt? Will you allow me to stand next to you forever?" Harry fought back tears as Edward opened the box and uncovered a beautiful diamond ring. Edward had bought the ring soon after he had reached America. He had planned to propose to Harry the moment they met again, and so he was doing just that.
Harry nodded his head in affirmation as Edward placed the ring on his left index finger. Harry was too choked up to speak so he opted to kiss and hug his lover instead. After a few moments Harry began to chuckle. Edward pulled back and gave him a look, "And what is so funny?" he asked
Harry smiled and kissed him again before answering, "It took a war, an experiment, a sinking ship, a pregnancy and a hop half way around the world for me to find the one person that makes me whole…."
Edward smiled, "And how do you like the end product?"
Harry made a face, "I guess I'll live with what I get." he said with a sigh.
Edward faked a hurt look before taking his lover in a fierce embrace. Both boys laughed quietly in each others arms. Edward was the happiest he had been in nearly one hundred years. He felt sorry for any fool who would try to take that away from him. It was too bad there was already a fool working on just that.
Luna stood outside the door to Harry's room smiling and feeling kind of guilty. She didn't want to disturb the newly reunited family, but they needed a plan before anyone from the ministry had a chance to find them. She knocked on the door and opened it when they told her to go in.
"How are you guys doing?" She said as she walked in. Harry flashed her the ring and she clapped and hugged the soon to be married couple.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think it's best if we all move down to Neville's study. He's got a few ideas and we can fill Edward in to what's going on."
Harry agreed and grabbed all the things he would need for the kids. He had a feeling they wouldn't be coming back into his room for a while. Luna led the way down stairs. Harry was carrying Sirius and some of the boys' clothing, while Edward carried James and the diaper bag. Andromeda already had Teddy ready to go if it was necessary to do so. When they reached Neville's study they heard Draco and Neville discussing some plans of escape and other such things. Andromeda was on alert at the window, she had put Teddy under magical sleep to keep him from being noticed in case of some kind of ministry invasion. They put the children down next to Teddy and Harry introduced Neville and Draco to Edward. Neville walked to Edward and greeted him warmly as he always did to everyone he met. Draco however gave him a good look up and down. Then he tilted his head, "I approve." he said before shaking the confused vampires hand.
Everyone present in the room stared in shock….Draco Malfoy….THE HEIR TO THE MALFOY FORTUNE, had just let someone he just met….touch…his…hand…HE HAD NEVER DONE THAT!
Draco rolled his eyes, god these dorks were so immature!
"What the hell are you dimwits staring at? Yes, I approve of the man. He looks fantastic in those pants and has hair to die for! Not to mention he made your sappy behind happy Potter and that ring on your finger shows he very much has his priorities in check. Now I know I'm a fine piece of man and I'm quite flattered that you all find me quite the treat to look at, but we have got work to do! SO MOVE!"
With that they all snapped out of their shock and moved on with discussing the letter that had arrived from the ministry. Edward chuckled, he had a feeling that Rosalie and Draco would be getting along just fine.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world a press conference was going underway. Cornelius Fudge stood in front of the press looking quite pleased with himself. It was the most attention he had received since the war had ended.
"Mr. Fudge, what proof do you have that Harry Potter is housing two possible half vampire children?" someone from witch weekly asked.
"Well I was witness to it! I saw the children, pale and thirsting for blood!"
"Mr. Fudge, what exactly were you doing at Mr. Potter's residence?" a wizard from the prophet asked.
"I was invited by Mr. Potter. He wished for us to make amends over things that went wrong during the war."
"Is it true that the ministry wishes to take not only the two parentless children but the son of Remus and Nymphadora Lupin whom was orphaned when both parents died during the final battle of Hogwarts?" someone from Wiz today* asked
"To my understanding yes. The boy is of half creature as well and cannot be allowed to reside in a household were his known natural enemy is also being raised."
"Did Mr. Potter give you an explanation as to whom the parents of the vampires were sir?" the same person from the prophet asked
"No. He gave me no chance to ask. His suspicious actions led me to believe the children were illegally under his care."
"Do you believe that Mr. Potter could be planning to form another evil army from his collection of half breeds? First the child of a wolf then two belonging to an unknown vampire?" a witch from Magical World Magazine asked. *
"That was my fear and the main reason I immediately reported all this to the ministry. Now if you can all excuse me I must continue on assisting with this investigation."
Fudge moved away to from the crowd and into his study. He needed to plan everything out perfectly. The true reason he had been at the Potter residence on that faithful day one month ago was because he wanted to strike something of a deal with Harry in order to gain back the public trust. He didn't, however, expect to walk in on Harry's day of delivery! It was like the gods were finally smiling down on him. He was nearly one hundred percent sure the children were of vampire descent because the minute that both children were deemed healthy he saw Longbottom bring in a mixture of milk and blood.
Fudge smiled smugly. He had them all now. He was going to make them all pay for making him look like a fool. That ignorant little brat made him loose his office and face in front of the entire wizarding world, and now he would take his revenge by hitting the boy who lived right were it would hurt him the most. He was going to separate the family he so carefully built and since there was no father in sight…there was no proof that the children were in fact from Harry Potter's own womb*!
It took all Harry could think of to keep Edward from taking the next flight to England. The man was beyond furious. How dare those insignificant fools even think they were going to take his children from him! It would be a cold day in hell before they laid even a glance at his kids.
Draco was no help either. He was all for going to the ministry in search for the rat. He even volunteered to apparate there with Edward and assist in the hunt.
"We all need to calm the fuck down!" Neville finally said, "The best thing we can do right now is move. Half of us take the kids to a safe house. The other half stays here to wait for the ministry."
"Where do we take the kids though?" Andromeda asked
"My house," Edward said, "It's hidden much like yours only a bit more into the woods. There is no magical connection there and they will be protected."
Harry didn't like the idea of being separated from his children, but it was the only thing they could do at the moment, "Alright then, Andromeda you and Luna take the children and go with Edward. Neville, Draco, and I will stay behind and deal with the ministry. Odds are they are only coming to find me and Draco seeing as he is the closest relative to Teddy. They may also want to speak with Andy, but we will just deny her being here with us."
Andromeda and Luna nodded before leaving the room to get a few things they might need. Draco and Neville walked out of the room to give Harry and Edward some time.
"Come with us…" Edward said.
"They are after me…as long as the kids are with you, they will be safe. They don't know much so they will probably be looking for answers right now. The chance of confrontation is small, but I would rather have the kids out of here…as soon as they leave, we will join you. It shouldn't take more that a hour to get them to leave."
Edward looked like he wanted to argue, but thought against it. Their children were top priority at the moment and that was the best plan they had for the time being. He brought Harry into a hug and kissed him on the forehead, "Call me as soon as everything is clear or if something goes wrong…I said I would stand next to you and I intend to keep that promise."
Harry smiled and kissed Edward, "Of course I will. No fighting unless I call you first, sound good?"
Edward laughed a bit before agreeing. Both boys separated and proceeded to take the boys to the car. They needed to leave as soon as possible. Andromeda and Luna were already at the entrance with Neville and Draco.
Edward carried Teddy and Sirius out, while Harry grabbed James. They placed the kids in Edward's car. Andromeda go int the car with him while Luna followed on motorcycle. The car had to be discarded because they feared it might have been tracked. Where the motorcycle came from only Draco knew and most them believed that's how it should be…
Harry watched as Edward and the others drove off. He stood there for a few seconds before going back into the house. His eyes were stone cold. Those bastards were so going to pay for all they were putting his family through.
He found Draco and Neville in full battle gear. Yeah….they were most definitely waiting for Armageddon.
"Thank you," Andromeda said as Edward drove at top speed towards his house.
Edward looked at her, "For what?"
"For doing this. For not leaving Harry and for Teddy….I know what you are and I believe you know what his father was. I thank you so much for helping them both."
Edward smiled and took her hand in his, "I love Harry with all my heart. My children, Teddy, Luna, Draco, Neville, and you, are all a part of his world. I can't just take Harry and my kids. I know that would make him sad and I don't want that."
Andromeda wiped away a tear and nodded. She was happy Harry had found such a great man to live the rest of his life with. Now she only had three more well four more, but Teddy was still just a baby, to marry off and see happy.
Edward's phone began to ring. He let out an unnecessary breath before answering, "Alice, what is it?"
"Yes, Listen I need you to call Rosalie and Emmet. Tell them to come home as soon as they can. I'm assuming Jasper just got in right? Perfect, I'm going to be home in a few minutes. Yes, they are with me. Yes, Alice there are three…ok, tell Esme. Bye."
Edward shook his head. His sister was so over the top sometimes. He looked in the rearview mirror to check that Luna was still keeping up.
