Warnings - childbirth, mpreg, slash...see all the other warnigns because I can't be arsed to write them out again.

OH warning! I have this thing about having lots of kids so...so Harry will have lots of kids. Think HarryMolly Weasley kind of. You'll see what I mean in the other chapters.

Somebody gave me a wonderful idea though a little while ago but I've lost the email. They suggested perhaps Draco become pregnant. I toyed with that idea for a while but I like Harry being pregnant. So while all the reasonings behing Draco getting pregnant were workable I'm afraid I just like HArry being pregnant. Plus it's less complicated because Harry is hidden away!

Draco smiled as he read the letter which Freya's trusty owl Beatrix had delivered. Harry and the baby were doing fine and, from the looks of things, Draco was going to be father to a very healthy baby boy. At twenty weeks Harry was showing a little bit and was in a permanent good mood. He didn't feel lonely at all and Freya had confided to Draco that the emerald haired boy could often be caught humming and stroking his stomach.

By 8months Harry was as big as a…Draco stopped that train of thought because Harry had burst into tears when he'd insulted him and Draco didn't like the hysterical sobbing. Harry was big though and the baby boy inside him was very lively. Harry had fallen across the name of an Angel when he'd been out for a walk through the quiet country town he lived near. Adriel had been cleared by his husband, mother and midwife as a suitable name for the first Malfoy heir. Draco had suggested the middle name James though his mother claimed he had alternate reasons for picking that name as Harry had quickly pounced Draco and given him a passionate kiss. Draco merely smirked at her accusations and lead Harry out of the room and back to their bedroom.

It was on November 1st that Draco received urgent summons from his mother saying that he was desperately needed at the Manor because Harry was giving birth.

Hermes, Draco's mother's owl had flown into the lecture hall Draco had been in and quickly dived down to Draco's table.

"Mr Malfoy, could you please explain why someone would be sending you mail in the middle of class?" Draco ignored his professor and tore desperately into the envelop having recognised his mother's handwriting. Draco pulled the letter open and scanned the content before throwing the letter into his bag and gathering up his things.

"Mr Malfoy…"

"My apologies sir but my spouse is currently in labour and I have to go now if I want to see my son's birth." Draco threw his bag over his shoulder and walked quickly to the classroom door. "Please excuse me from class for the next few days sir."

"Certainly Mr Malfoy. Best wishes to you and your family." Draco nodded and closed the door behind him. No sooner had the door shut behind him did Draco break out into a run. He reached the floo rooms exactly five minutes later and panted out his destination. Draco jumped out of the fireplace at the manor and ran up the staircase and down the corridors that would lead him to where Harry was. He threw open the bedroom doors and immediately saw Harry laid on the bed with sweat dripping off him. His teeth were gritted together in pain and his hands were clenching the sheets. Freya was hovering between Harry's spread legs and Narcissa was stroking Harry's hair.

"What's going on?" Draco said as he walked quickly over to Harry and picked up one of his spouse's hands and allowing Harry to grip it hard.

"He's nearly ready Draco. He's doing so well." Draco smiled down at his spouse who had a brief moment between the waves of pain where he could open his eyes and meet Draco's eyes.

"Hey love. You doing okay?"

"Do I look okay to you Malfoy?! I'm giving birth of course I'm not bloody okay you insensitive…ARGH!" Harry threw his head back onto the pillow as he screamed.

"You're okay honey. It's nearly time. Just hold on Harry." Harry gave another cry of pain.

"Oh god it's worse than cruciatus! Oh god oh God…here comes another one."

"Okay Harry when it comes I want you to bear down. Have you got it? Harry, do you understand?"

"Yeah, bear down I got it. Bear doOWN! OW!"

"Bear down Harry PUSH!"

"ARGH I AM!" Draco grimaced as his hand was clenched too tightly. He met his mother's eyes and Narcissa gave him a cross between a sympathetic gaze and a glare which was a very odd combination.

"KEEP PUSHING HARRY! KEEP GOING!"

"Argh…I can't please I can't…I need a rest…ARGH OW!"

"PUSH!"

"I CAN'T!"

"YOU CAN HARRY!" Freya reassured and Draco repeated her words while using his other hand to wipe the tears from Harry's eyes. Harry squeezed his eyes shut and kept his head thrown back. All the muscles in his neck were tensed until he finally brought his head forwards so his chin was against his chest and he panted heavily.

"EH!" Harry pushed again and Freya gave a small whoop of joy.

"There's his head honey, you are doing so well Harry. One more big push and I should have his shoulders. Now push Harry!"

"OH MERLIN ARGH!" Harry screamed down and pushed his chin into his chest as he pushed. Draco held the back of Harry's head and rubbed his thumb against Harry's skull as Harry pushed.

"And there are his shoulders. I've got you little one, Freya's got you. I need you to push Harry. One more push and it's all over honey."

"Jesus it hurts." Harry cried before he pushed one last time. The push didn't last very long and Harry fell back against the pillows and sobbed loudly. "I can't it hurts."

Freya smiled from between Harry's legs and stood up holding a blood covered baby. She handed the baby to Narcissa who wrapped it in a fluffy blue towel after Freya had cleared his airway and he'd burst into loud tears.

"My baby?" Harry muttered weakly as he opened pained eyes and looked over at the crying babe. Freya and Narcissa smiled at him.

"Yes honey, your baby boy."

"Can I have him? Let me have him?" Harry held out his weak and shaking arms. Narcissa walked around the bed carrying her grandson and handed him to Draco so he could hand the baby to Harry. As soon as the baby was in Draco's arms Draco felt a huge surge of pride. This was his son. His and Harry's baby boy. Draco slowly passed the baby to Harry who grinned as the baby was placed in his arms.

"He's perfect Harry." Harry nodded and gently stroked the screaming baby's head.

"My baby, don't you cry, Daddy's here. Shh baby, shh." The baby didn't stop crying but Harry didn't seem bothered by it at all. In face Harry just brushed away the tiny tears and started to hum gently.

"Are we still naming him Adriel?" Draco whispered to Harry who slowly stopped humming as their son calmed down slightly.

"Yeah. Adriel James Malfoy. Is that still okay?"

"Sounds perfect to me love." Adriel stopped crying and tiny blue eyes peaked out between the lids and looked up at his parents. Whilst Harry knew their baby couldn't see anything other than blurs it was a nice thought believing their baby Adriel could see his parents.

"I love you Adriel and don't you ever forget it." Adriel gave a strange little noise and blinked his eyes closed. Harry laughed very gently before yawning. Draco kissed Harry's forehead.

"Let me have him Harry, you get some rest and as soon as you wake up you can have him back."

"Mm okay. Will you be here Dray? Will you be there too?"

"Yes I will. Lets go get you cleaned up shall we Adriel and perhaps let Grandmother have a cuddle." Adriel gave another strange little noise and dribbled a little making Draco laugh.

"He looks just like you did Draco. Just as tiny and just as cute." Draco turned his nose up.

"I'll thank you mother for never saying that again." Narcissa laughed and held out her arms to take Adriel. Draco went to hold the by out then stopped and looked down.

"You know mother, I think I'd like to hold him some more." Narcissa pulled her hands back and smiled gently. Freya walked to stand next to Narcissa as Draco walked over to the only chair in the room and sat down looking fascinated by the baby.

"You know, Harry told me that Draco wasn't very good with kids. And yet he seems to be fascinated with that baby."

"Well, Draco's never been around any children before so this is a novel experience for him. That and the little bundle is half him and Draco is a very vein person." The women laughed.

"Um mother…he smells bad." Freya and Narcissa shared a look before both breaking out into loud laughter. Harry never stirred through the loud sound and neither did the baby but Draco scowled at the two women.

Over the next week Harry quickly got used to changing Adriel's nappy, feeding and burping and also on how to put Adriel down to sleep. Draco wouldn't go near the baby if he was dirty but he got on okay with feeding and burping and after the first time burping his baby he made sure to put a towel down his back to catch anything the baby dribbled out. Both the parents, however, were smitten with their baby though Harry was definitely the most smitten. Even when he'd put Adriel down to sleep he would stay there watching over his baby.

One time Draco stood in the doorway and watched as Harry just stared at the baby boy for twenty minutes. Draco watched as Harry leaned over the cot and stroked his baby's cheek and then gently stroking the thin blonde strands of hair on his head.

"I can see why my mum died for me; I'd do the same for you in a heartbeat. I wonder who you'll look like, me or Draco. I hope you don't get my untameable hair; you are getting your father's hair colour. I think you'll get my eyes though. I'm going to give you the love and the childhood I never had. I love you Adriel." Harry slowly pulled his hand back and turned to walk out the room only to see Draco stood there leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed and a smile on his lips. Harry blushed.

"Adriel is going to be so spoilt with love." Harry smiled and shook his head.

"Well he will have to share with his siblings because I still want more than one Draco."

"Let's let Adriel grow up some before the next baby okay Harry?" Harry bit his lip and looked back over at his baby.

"Not too long though okay Draco because I rather like having a baby in my arms and they grow up really fast apparently." Draco walked over and wrapped his arms around Harry's waist which was a bit wider after child birth and Harry had yet to lose the extra weight gained during pregnancy. But Draco didn't mind the extra weight Harry had because Harry had always been very slim and borderline skinny.

"Let's see how you cope alone with him first." Harry leaned back into the arms and leaned his head against Draco's.

"When are you going back?"

"Day after tomorrow." Harry nodded and turned around to look Draco in the eye.

"Come to bed?" Draco smiled and nodded and put his arm around Harry's waist to walk his spouse out of the room.

It had been a week since Harry had been left alone by Draco. Freya visited for about an hour every day to do checkups and just because she seemed to like Harry's company and cuddling the baby. Narcissa had visited three times but hadn't stayed very long. Most of the time Harry was alone with Adriel and he loved every minute of it.

Adriel was spoilt being held every time he woke up and until he fell asleep. Harry got up with a smile when ever his baby boy cried and would happily lavish attention on his son.

By the time Christmas was there Harry had been through the depression that he wasn't a good parent and had pulled out three days after the depression had started. He was a little more tired than usual and took plenty of naps during the day because Adriel needed lots of attention at night. Draco had been home a grand total of twelve times and had fire called a lot just to see how Harry and Adriel were doing.

Christmas was a brilliant affair and there were so many gifts for baby Adriel from the people Harry had only heard about from Draco that they were swimming in baby robes. New years Day hadn't been that nice however as the fireworks going off had scared Adriel and Harry and Draco were up all night with him.

The rest of the year was fine. Adriel was in perfect health and was teething fine. During the time when he was teething though Harry had ordered a very large quantity of pepper up potion because Adriel never seemed to run out of energy to cry and whimper.

Adriel's first birthday party called for a small celebration at Malfoy Manor. There was a beautiful dinner prepared for Narcissa, Draco, Harry and Freya whilst Adriel slept peacefully in his Moses basket. He was a small baby but was only just below the recommended weight for a baby his age. Still, Harry was sure he'd grow as Adriel would be well fed not starved like Harry had been. Adriel had inherited Harry's eyes and Draco's hair tone but he had received the messy hair that Harry had. Draco said that they'd let the boy's hair grow so that it might grow out of being messy. Luckily it didn't look like Adriel would ever need glasses.
