Draco settled into the new routine pretty quickly and now it was fast approaching Christmas. Every second Wednesday he would take the floo home to see his mother and his husband and then he'd floo back at lunch time on Friday for his afternoon lessons. It was the Saturday after one of his visits though that Draco was quite shocked to find his mother's eagle owl flying towards him at breakfast wit a letter in its talons.
"Thank you Hermes." Draco tore open the envelope and opened the letter nearly dropping it in his shock at what was written there.
"Malfoy? Hey, Malfoy are you okay?" Draco snapped his gaze up to look at Ogden. "Who's it from?"
"My mother." Ogden raised an eyebrow, a skill he'd obviously got from Draco.
"And? What's the matter with it?"
"Nothing…just my spouse wants children…" Ogden gagged slightly.
"She's got broody already has she? Isn't she the same age as us? Seems a bit young to want children." Draco was still in a slight shock at the news that Harry had found a spell to enable male pregnancy and had been craving children for about a month but had been too embarrassed to say anything. Narcissa had decided she'd had enough of Harry's day dreaming and pictures of what his children might look like that she had written to Draco to tell him because she seriously doubted Harry ever would because he seemed to care more about what Draco wanted.
"It makes sense though…was an only child and being lonely would make a person crave children. It would be something to do. Someone to pour love into since mother and I can't be there…" Draco thought aloud making Ogden frown at what he was hearing.
"You aren't seriously considering having children this young are you Malfoy? Having kids is a big decision and your wife will want you home with her during the pregnancy and to help her take care of the babe when it's born. You've got university!"
"My spouse knows of my obligations and how much I want to do this course…which probably explains why the subject has never been brought up with me present. Damn it though, this is going to distract me later. No more talking of it Ogden. We have work to do and this is a discussion I need to have with my bonded I think."
Draco arrived back at Harry's house the next Wednesday and went through the house calling for and looking for Harry. Draco eventually found his spouse in the study room upstairs with a book on his lap. Draco turned his head to see what the book was talking about and rolled his eyes. Taking the book off Harry Draco wondered how he had never noticed there was a book on male pregnancy in the house.
"Harry wake up." Harry's eyes slowly opened and green eyes frowned as they saw Draco. Then Draco noticed the panic turn up in Harry's eyes and Harry looked down only to find his lap empty of the book. Draco held the book up and waved it a little. Harry's eyes widened comically when they saw it.
"Perhaps you and I need to talk Harry." Harry swallowed.
"There's nothing to talk about Draco, I was only curious. I've never heard of such a thing before."
"Mm that's not what I heard Harry." Draco said not breaking the eye contact he had with his spouse. Harry turned his face away and swallowed again. "So, were you ever planning on bringing this subject up with me or had mother not told me last Saturday would I have had to find it out on my own?"
"Probably wouldn't have told you." Harry sounded like a child getting a scolding from his parents. He was looking down and away from Draco and his tones were low, mumbled and full of shame.
"We are very young Harry. I'm at university and it's only been a year and a half into our marriage. This is not the best timing."
"I know, that's why I wasn't going to bring it up." Draco, had he not made his mind up already might have made his decision up when he saw the look of longing and sadness in Harry's eyes.
"Am I not good enough Harry? Is it not enough for you to just love me rather than want a child?"
"You are wonderful Draco, don't ever think you aren't. This was a stupid idea, I'm sorry." Harry turned his face away again and started to pick at a lose thread on the chair. Draco gave a nearly silent sigh.
"Men aren't meant for pregnancy Harry. It isn't natural. The spells we have so homosexuals can procreate put strain on both the female and the male's bodies. With lesbians one of them needs to use a dangerous spell to transfigure their genitals so they can impregnate their partner. With men the spell gives one man the ability to be impregnated. It's dangerous and very painful not to mention the giving birth part. And then we have to think about this house. It's not big enough anyway, and it's too far away from where I am so I'm going to have to find you a new place to live and secure it so you can live there safely. Since you have your own magic that you can access you can glamour yourself now which makes me a feel a little better about moving you closer to me and mother."
"Draco, what are you talking about?" Harry looked incredibly confused as his emerald eyes looked up into silver; however Draco could see a sparkle of hope in those eyes.
"Do you even feel up to the responsibility of having children Harry? And from the way mother insisted on saying 'children' I'm guessing one wont be enough for you? How many exactly do you want Harry? Do you really want to start now? It's very early to have children. I do realise it's lonely here on your own but are you sure a baby will solve that Harry? You'll get very depressed being alone with a baby."
"You're considering it?!" Harry gasped standing up. Draco gave him a disapproving frown as Harry had stood up so quickly they had nearly headbutted each other.
"Not considering it Harry. If this is what you really want and that you are well aware of the costs, the responsibility and the dangers this will bring then I'd be happy to give you children." Harry's eyes glistened with great affection and happiness. Draco put his hands on Harry's shoulders and stared him in he eye looking completely serious.
"Mother and I like the courses we are on Harry, in fact I love mine. I am not good with children and it has been my dream to become a master in a field just like my Godfather. I want to become a master in Runes Harry, it is my dream. I do, however unexpected it is, love you. I didn't expect to love you at all, or this quickly or deeply but I do and I'm willing to give you children but you must understand Harry that I won't be there a lot of the time because I refuse to give up my course."
"I understand that…"
"And you know that in order for this to go properly I'm going to have to find you a reliable Healer who specialises in male pregnancies to watch over you and they are going to have to be reliable not to tell everyone that Harry Potter is out of prison."
"I do."
"Then I have a day and a half to familiarise myself with this spell and to practise with you." Harry was stunned speechless at Draco's words. Watching as his husband flipped through the book Harry had been reading Harry carefully tried to think of something to say.
"Draco…are you sure you are okay with this? You can't have found out that long ago and usually people consider having children for months." Draco looked up from the book and sighed.
"Harry, I'll admit I would have liked to think about this longer but to be honest with you all I can think of is me coming home in a year or two's time and having you playing with a baby and looking completely content. You have been locked away Harry and you have been betrayed. All those you loved betrayed you or died. Mother and I are all you have left and this will make you happy and give you more people to love. You have a lot of love in you Harry. In fact you have so much love in you that you fell in love with me and made me love you and I'm not an easy person to love. In fact, it's probably because of you I can love and I'm not sure how you managed that because we haven't spent that much time together.
"So, I will give you children now because you are longing for them and it will make you happy and I won't have to worry that you are lonely because somebody will be there with you everyday."
Two seconds after the end of his speech Draco found the book knocked out of his hands as he was hugged tightly by his spouse. Draco gave a small smile and wrapped his arms around Harry's waist as Harry whispered his thank you's and his I love you's over and over.
By Christmas day Draco had perfected the spell, found the perfect place for Harry to live and had found a reliable healer who, incidentally, was Poppy Pomfrey's niece Freya Olivieri. Freya had, upon setting eyes on Harry, rushed up to the teenager and given him a hug. Harry had been shocked by that and had broken down into tears when Freya told him that her aunt Poppy had told everyone how wonderful Harry was and that he couldn't have hurt a fly let alone kill two innocent human beings. Harry also received a kiss on the cheek as a thank you because he got rid of Voldemort and, whilst Freya had lost her husband in the war, had brought peace and joy to the Pomfrey family.
It was on Christmas day that Harry was dragged up to his new bedroom having been given the house as a Christmas present. Draco had received an encyclopaedia of all the runes in existence and also a pack of thin white marble rocks that weighed very little and each one would fit into a pocket. The rocks had the most popular runes engraved into them and Harry had also got him lots of blank rocks and a ritual dagger so he could engrave his own runes into the rocks.
Now though, Draco wanted to give Harry the second part of his present. Draco pushed Harry onto the bed with a wicked smile and cast a spell at the door so it would shut and lock. Harry frowned at his husband's odd behaviour until he was kissed thoroughly and felt the point of Draco's wand push up his shirt and press lightly against his abdomen.
"You really want a child Harry?"
"Yes. Please." Draco smiled gently and kissed Harry again before pulling away and muttering the spell to give Harry the ability to get pregnant. "The pain won't last long Harry, I promise."
Harry frowned not feeling anything. He was just about to say he couldn't feel anything when the burning started. Harry made a quiet 'oh' before screwing his eyes shut and hissing in pain. The pain lasted for about ten minutes and by the time it had disappeared Harry was sweating lightly. Harry opened his eyes and looked up into Draco's whose eyes were filled with sympathy.
"You okay?"
"Fine. No pain no gain right?" Draco smiled slightly and shook his head.
"You read up on what happens at the different stages of pregnancy right? You know there will be times you'll want me and you can't have me right? You…"
"Draco, no matter what I shall respect that you have your own dreams and in order for them to be fulfilled you have to be at the university now. I'll be fine. You'll come home every second Wednesday and then leave Friday. I may not like it but I respect it and I love you." Draco nodded and put his wand on the bedside table.
"You know what happens next then right?" Harry gave Draco a smile and he nodded. A lustful smile appeared on his husband's face.
"The one good thing about you wanting children is that the means to make are incredibly pleasurable, if you don't include the spell." Harry laughed but it was interrupted by Draco's lips covering his.
