Chapter 11:
Contentment radiated from Draco in waves, he woke up feeling like he was cocooned in happiness and pleasantly sore. He blinked his eyes open and was instantly aware that he was sleeping in Harry's arms. Last night had been amazing, he forgot how many times they had made love and how often they had woke up to give into each others' desires.
Making love with Harry was like coming home, it shouldn't have felt so good. It should've scared Draco, or at least intimidated him considering who Harry was in the magical world. It should have been just sex, but it wasn't because the passion between them, felt stronger than petty lust.
Truthfully, Draco was happy that they made passionate love with each other and he felt hopeful about the whole situation, because it was Harry. Even when they were enemies, Harry had always had a way of getting under his skin. Draco had left the cowardliness of the Malfoy name behind him, many years ago.
Draco was fully prepared to face the truth at-least to himself that he was head-over-heels in love with Harry Potter and he wasn't scared (okay, he was slightly terrified but that was the natural reaction that came from the realisation of oh-my-god-I'm-in-love!).He was prepared to give this relationship 100% because even Draco Malfoy had to take a leap of faith sometime.
The outcome of such decision would depend solely on Harry, if he wanted to take it further; Draco would be deliriously happy but if he didn't Draco certainly wouldn't put any pressure on Harry. Finally, he stopped plundering about the future as he snuggled into Harry's arms, breathing in his scent that made him giddy with pleasure.
Next time he woke up he was alone in the bed, looking at his watch, he muffled an oath, it was 11:33 am and it looked like Harry had left, while his boys had probably been starving all morning. He quickly dressed into a t-shirt and jeans, not even considering taking a shower as he ran into the living room and he suddenly stopped when he saw them. They were lounging on the couch in their pyjamas and watching cartoons completely oblivious to their surroundings. Draco saw a shock of pitch black hair in between Damien and Ashton's head and came around to see whom the hair belong to, when Draco's heart almost melted at the sight that Harry hadn't left, because he was sleeping on the couch with Damien and Ashton on either side of him, both napping away.
He made his way to the kitchen and instantly felt like hyperventilating that his beautiful kitchen, looked like, it had been hit by a hurricane. There were scorch marks, what the hell, and flours all over the place, broken egg shells and a distinct smell of burn in the air. Draco counted one to ten to stop himself doing something crazy like, screaming and throwing sharp objects at Potter!
"Oh your up, I had meant to clean all this up before you woke up but I nodded off there" Draco slowly turned around to face a sheepish Harry, wearing Draco's PJ, which he must have spelled to fit his body. The image did nothing to diminish Draco's anger.
"Potter! Tell me there is a bloody good explanation as to why my kitchen looks like it fucking threw up on itself" he whispered barely controlling his rage.
"Erm…well we got hungry and Damien decided he wanted muffins and I followed Ash's instructions and mixed everything and Damien assured me it was supposed to look like that before its cooked and so I put it in the oven and…" Harry trailed off shuffling from foot to foot.
"And?" Draco prompted finding Harry cute despite his anger.
"We started watching this cartoon called Scooby Dooby Doo, and it was a really good episode you know, I would never had guessed it was the curator, I mean he was supposed to save the museum and if it wasn't for Shaggy and Scoo…"
"Harry, stop stalling" Draco interrupted biting his lips to stop himself smiling, but it was so hard to stay mad at Harry when he was being so cute.
"Well…wekindofforgotaboutit" he rushed to explain.
"You forgot? Ok that explains the scorch marks what about the rest of it?" he asked not sure if he wanted to know the answer.
"Well then I tried to clean it up and make pancakes, only I never made pancakes before and the batter wouldn't come out right, first it was too thick, then it was too thin and it just…" Harry trailed off looking uncomfortable again.
"Right. Ok I'm going to go to the living room and have a word with my two little chefs and then I'm going to shower. By the time I come back, this kitchen better be spotless and there's better be a cup of coffee waiting for me, or so help me god…" Draco left the threat hanging and walked off.
Draco found them in the living room, all dressed properly watching cartoons like two angels but Draco wasn't fooled.
"Good morning daddy" they said in unison with perfect smiles on their faces and Draco had to physically stop himself from scooping them both up and kissing those adorable cheeks, no Draco you must be strong.
"Good morning boys, I heard you guys had an eventful morning." It wasn't a question. "Daddy it wasn't ours fault at all, it was Scooby Dooby's fault." Damien said scrunching up his nose in a way he knew Draco found adorable.
"Yeah and how do you figure that?" he asked not letting his amusement show in his face.
"Well if it wasn't so interesting, then we wouldn't have forgotten all about the muffins and then it wouldn't have burned." Ashton said quite confidently, nodding along as he said and biting his lips that tugged on Draco's heart. Hmm it seemed his sons were pulling out all the stops.
Draco was so proud of their Slytherin tactics he just gave up, "Oh right, you two get ready, because we have to go grocery shopping," he just huffed at the triumphant gleam in their eyes and left for his shower. By the time he made his way to the kitchen again it was indeed spotless, a steaming mug of coffee waiting for him and Harry was dressed and washing his hands in the sink.
"Mmm the coffee is wonderful" he said as he took a sip, making Harry turn around. He was startled at Harry's tortured expression, "Harry, what's wrong?"
"Oh Draco, I'm so sorry. I am such an idiot and I would perfectly understand if you don't want to see me again but please don't do that Draco" Harry said his voice pleading.
"Harry, what are you talking about?" Draco asked his confusion clear in his voice.
"I could've burnt down the house Draco; I put the boys and you in danger. I'm so sorry," Harry looked almost in pain that it seemed almost inappropriate that Draco's mind was screaming I love you I love you I loveyouIloveyouIloveyouloveloveloveyou.
"Oh you foolish Gryffindor, once you realised it was burning, did you let the boys in the kitchen?" he asked.
"Of-course not" Harry replied giving Draco the are-you-stupid look.
"And did you let the boys in the kitchen afterwards, when you did successfully make some sort of breakfast?" he asked again almost smiling at Harry's confusion.
"Of-course I didn't, I made them stay in the living room and they ate there as well, Draco why are you asking me this stupid questions?" asked a bewildered Harry.
"Because my foolish Gryffindor you need to understand that accident happens and it's not your fault. In this instance nothing serious happened and even if it did I have complete trust that you could handle it without putting anyone at unnecessary risk" he said as he stood in front of Harry trying to make him understand.
"But Draco they were my respons…" Draco cut him off with a kiss, but Draco had to let go when breathing became a problem for both of them. But Harry kept giving him small kisses, "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up, but I heard the boys moving and couldn't resist spending some time with them," he said and Draco was amazed just how brilliant Harry was.
"Harry apart from Libby if there was anyone that I would trust my boys with beyond a doubt it would be you," he said completely sincerely. Harry's face expressed what he was feeling that he couldn't put to words, so he pulled Draco in for another breathtaking kiss.
Twin cries of Daddy and Harry pulled them apart and they both made their ways to the living room where both boys were getting impatient from being ignored for a moment. "Daddy, is Harry going to shop with us?" asked Damien both he and Ash looking so hopeful that Draco knew Harry wouldn't be able to say no. However, he didn't expect the genuine happiness on Harry's face at the prospect of grocery shopping.
Usually, Draco drove to the supermarket, with two hyperactive boys and enough shopping to feed a small army, it was a necessity. He finished putting seat-belts on both of the boys, then he turned around to find Harry looking at him like he's grown three heads or something, "What?" he had to ask.
"It's just strange that you have a car and you drive to the supermarket to get groceries, you Draco Malfoy," Harry replied with a bemused look on his face.
Draco sighed "I simply grew up," was all he had to offer and he jumped on to the driver's seat.
Grocery shopping was simply a chore for Draco, he never enjoyed it much and certainly not with two five year olds who only wanted to buy sweets and chocolates. If he thought shopping with Harry would be a bit better, Draco soon found out what a sad mistake that was. It was like shopping with three kids as they kept putting back all the fruit and vegetables that they didn't like. Damien had put back the peppers three times, Ashton kept hiding the broccoli every time that he went to pick one up, and Harry didn't like carrots. On top of that, they kept piling up the trolley with junk food, all kinds of sweets, and about 10 different types of hot chocolate, about dozen packets of biscuits and every time Draco put something back they came back with another.
Draco had enough before he threatened Harry that if he didn't want to spend the rest of his life getting acquainted with the sofa that he had better start helping Draco, not even caring that he started to sound like a pissed off wife. After this talk, shopping became more pleasant.
The day passed by too quickly for Draco. Harry had been wonderful as usual, when he helped Draco put away the groceries, played with the kids, and helped them with their homework, while Draco was cooking a meal. It was all so normal, almost like they were a family and Draco suddenly felt a pang in his heart, as he found himself, wishing this could be real that they could be a real family.
When he was half asleep and he decided that he was willing to give this relationship 100%; he didn't appreciate all the factors, Harry's job, Draco's kids, and the biggest problem of them all; the magical world.
Before Draco knew it, the boys were off to bed, and Harry was saying goodnight.
"I had a really good weekend Draco, thank you" Harry's voice tinged with an emotion Draco couldn't place.
"So did I, it was wonderful" Draco replied completely sincere and a little sad that this was probably it for them, so much for a relationship.
"Draco I'm going to be completely honest with you, I don't know what we're doing here, but all I know that there's something between us, something true something that has the potential to be everything. Do you agree?" He asked now completely serious.
"Harry what are you saying?" Draco asked too afraid to hope.
"I'm saying is that I want to find out, I don't want to give this up, the thought of never seeing you or the boys again is just too painful to comprehend" he said moving even closer to Draco until there were no space between them.
All Draco could do was nod his head in agreement and Harry was kissing him, all day they have been touching each other discretely, just simple touches and glances here and there and Draco felt giddy with love. By the time Harry actually left it was close to eleven in the evening and Draco was exhausted physically and emotionally, all he could think about was collapsing in his bed and sleeping for months.
He turned off all the lights and made his way to Damien and Ashton's room. He first went to Damien's bed and he wasn't surprised when he saw an empty bed. Damien had the habit of climbing into bed with Ashton or Draco whenever he couldn't go to sleep. He found them curled up with each other, looking so innocent that Draco knew that even if it didn't work out with Harry, that his life wouldn't completely be miserable. He dropped a kiss each on their foreheads and smoothed Ashton's hair when Damien blinked his eyes open, "Daddy?" his voice sleepy.
"Shhh baby, go back to sleep" Draco whispered knowing Damien would nod off any minute.
"Daddy, do you think Harry will be our Daddy as well?" he asked. Draco was shocked speechless, he was so wrapped up in his own feelings that he didn't even think how his boys were affected by Harry's presence. Oh god, but he was saved from answering when he saw Damien already went back to sleep.
Even exhausted Draco went to bed with a heavy heart, because he didn't know what will happen between him and Harry, he just hoped it wouldn't break their hearts in the end.
