"I do cub." A voice answered from behind him.

Harry turned to see Sirius in the doorway. "I thought you said that you never wanted to see me again."

Sirius came across the room. "I'm sorry cub. I am so sorry. I was upset with the kiss but not you."

Harry let go of Lucius and threw himself into his father's arms sobbing uncontrollably as he held him. Sirius kissed his son's head as he held him tight, and he shared a look with his fiancé over his son's head.

Severus smirked. "It is about time you came to your senses mutt. I did not sign up to be a single father to our son there."

Harry seemed to sense what was needed and let go for a moment so Sirius could go to his fiancé and kiss him. "You know I love you, you greasy gitt and you can't get rid of me that easy. But you keep a secret from me like this again and I will hex you."

Severus actually returned the kiss. "I'm not sure I will forgive you all that easy but right now I think our son is the one you owe a proper apology to over there."

Sirius turned to his son and came back to his side and pulled Harry down onto the couch with him. Seeming to sense the family needed some alone time Draco took for the door but before Lucius could follow his son, Sirius stopped him.

"You are not getting out of this, that easily. You snog my son, you better damned well be willing to face the fire with him if you want my blessing." Sirius shot.

Harry turned to him. "You are going to let me continue to see him?"

Sirius sighed. "I can see you're happy. And Lucius proved to me he obviously loves you when he risked being hexed by confronting me in a bar."

Harry looked up at Lucius for he had not known where he had gone off to when Draco and Severus had been comforting him. He had known Lucius loved him but he agreed with Sirius, it took a hell of a lot of guts to face Sirius drunk and in a bar, especially less then an hour after the fight they just had.

Lucius came over. "I love your son Sirius. I know the age difference is great but I do. And I meant it, nothing more then kisses. I will never rush your son there."

Sirius actually listened this time. "You are telling me you'd be willing to have a non sexual relationship with my son?"

Lucius nodded. "I will wait until your son is ready and even if that is five years down the road, I will. I respect your son as much as I am in love with him."

Sirius looked at Harry. "As long as you promise this does not become sexual until you're at least of age, you have my blessing Harry. I will not interfere."

Harry looked at Lucius worried that the man might not have meant it about waiting to be physical but Lucius just smiled and nodded so Harry beamed and nodded at his dad. He definitely was not ready for any sexual relations with the man and he didn't think a year was too long of a wait, not knowing if he'd be ready then.

Sirius kissed his head. "I am so sorry cub. I was so angry. I really can never say sorry enough for walking out on you. You know you're mu son and always will be."

Harry nodded. "Please don't do that again. I thought you weren't coming back. I love Luc but I need my dad. I finally have a family and I don't want to loose it."

Sirius wiped away his tears. "I promise no matter how angry you make me, from now on I will stay, I will rage, I will scream but I will not storm out on you again."

Sinking back gratefully into his arms he was so happy to hear that. He could handle the anger. Heck he had lived with his Uncle for over a decade. What he could not handle was not knowing if his father was going to leave and not come back. He was too new to having a real family thing; he wasn't secure enough to trust the man would come back. With time maybe but right now he had truly believed his dad was gone for good.

Harry looked at Severus. "I think you two need to speak now. I am not the only one you walked out on."

Sirius stared shocked at his son. "You know that you are my first priority Harry. I know Severus will understand."

Severus nodded but Harry shook his head. "The man is just starting to grow on me and I am getting used to the idea of this wedding. Go set this straight with him before I have to be worried about being in the center of a custody dispute since you both adopted me."

Sirius actually laughed a bit at that. "I think that the judge would take your preferences into account and I know you'd rather be with me."

Harry actually managed a joke. "I don't know, he likes my choice in men better and he really is growing on me. Maybe I will even take up potions with him."

Sirius noticed his fiancé groan and he laughed. "Okay I will save you both from blowing each other up and go woo him if you really mean it."

Harry nodded and watched with a smile as his fathers left the room together. He knew that Severus was definitely not going to make this easy on Sirius. Harry loved his father dearly but he actually hoped Severus let him have it. There were two people in definite pain when he stormed out and Harry hated to admit it but he had wanted to hex Sirius for hurting his fiancé as bad as he had.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Severus waited until they had got all the way through the manor and to their bedroom before he even spoke to his fiancé. He was happy for Harry that Sirius had come back but he wasn't done with his fiancé just yet.

He turned on Sirius. "You are a selfish mutt aren't you? I never thought that you'd ever walk out on your own son like that. I don't care if you came back."

Sirius paled. "I know Sev. I know. I was just so upset and hearing everyone but me knew about it. I mean you and Remus both knew and kept this from me."

Severus smirked. "Because we all see how well you handled it." But then added. "You know I didn't keep it from you to hurt you. It was Harry's to tell when ready."

Sirius sighed. He knew his fiancé had a point. It was Harry's news to tell and Sirius should not blame the others. And he knew he really had no right to be this angry considering the fact that he had hid his own romance with Severus for six months from Harry. At least Harry and Lucius were dressed and kissing, not naked in bed having sex, when Sirius found them.

Severus looked at the ring on his hand. "I am seriously considering whether I want to throw this back in your face and tell you the wedding is off."

Sirius took the ring hand instead and kissed it. "But you won't. You know my temper and my spirit are things you love about me. You would have it no other way."

Severus smirked slightly at that. "I love you, you mutt but if you ever pull that crap again I will take our son and I will leave. Harry was not the only one you hurt."

Sirius saw the truth of those words in his fiancé's eyes and he knew when Severus was actually willing to admit his own pain, that he was definitely hurt. They had fought enough since they got together but that was nothing new for them. This was new for them. He had never managed to hurt Severus like this before.

Sirius ran a hand down his face. "I am sorry I hurt you Sev. I was so angry I never even thought. You know I love you and our son. I am so sorry that I hurt you."

Severus pulled him into a kiss. "I forgive you but only because our son did. But I mean it, you hurt me like this again and I will take that boy and I will leave you."

"You will take our son? I thought I would have to force you to even adopt him and now you are threatening to take my son? I really must have scared you."

Severus smiled actually at that. "Fine the brat is growing on me too. And if one good thing came from tonight, it has helped us get closer. He is my son I guess."

Having heard Harry actually stand up for Severus and tell Sirius that he wanted the wedding to happen had meant a lot but now hearing Severus say that he was starting to already love Harry as a son, definitely was the icing on the cake. He knew there definitely was still a lot of work before they became a family for real but for the first time since Harry learned of their relationship, he really had a hope that by the time they were married at Christmas, the three would be a family.

Sirius pulled him down on the bed. "I swear I will never put you and our son through it again. I have every intention of making you my husband on Christmas."

Severus finally relaxed at that. "I for one am just happy to hear our son say he is looking forward to it too. I know his approval meant as much as yours did."

Sirius knew what Severus was saying. "I know. I know. I was a hypocrite. I mean you're my age but my comments about Lucius' past were definitely out of line."

"You know Lucius is a good man. He would not be my best friend if he wasn't. And I thought you guys had come to respect each other." Severus reminded him.

"We had, or we have. I mean I have seen him with my cousin this summer and with you. It was a shock. But if they keep to our deal, I will back off."

Severus thought like pointing out that if Harry and Lucius started having a sexual relationship it wasn't something they were about to tell Sirius, but he kept his tongue. The last thing Harry and Lucius needed was Sirius spying on them to make sure that they were never alone together. He knew Lucius had meant it though about waiting until Harry was ready but whether that would be a year or less then that, Severus was not sure.

Sirius nibbled on his ear. "Have you forgiven me enough so I can take my amazing fiancé to bed and make hot passionate love to him?"

Severus smirked. "I think I would be up for that but because of your stunt tonight, I get to top all night long."

Sirius ran his tongue down his fiancé's neck eliciting a moan. "Guess it will be good practice for when we marry and start trying for kids."

Severus actually let out a genuine laugh and smile at that as he pulled his fiancé down with him and started undressing him. They had spoken of kids a few times and they both knew even if Sirius was an auror his body was in better condition then Severus' after years of being a Death Eater. As well Sirius could do desk work and paternity leave from being an auror and potions were too volatile. As much as Sirius had thought it unbelievable at times, he had agreed to be the mommy of the two.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

When they were alone Lucius moved from where he had been standing and sunk down onto the couch with Harry and he collected him into his arms and held him for a time, not speaking until Harry was ready.

"You meant it didn't you Luc? About being willing to wait?" Harry asked in a tiny voice.

Lucius pulled back enough to look at him. "Even if it wasn't a condition of your dad, I would have been. I promise I'm willing to wait as long as you need us to."

Harry had been worried. He knew Lucius had said it before but having it forced on them as a condition of his father's support, was different. They did not need his dad's blessing for Harry was old enough to have a relationship with Lucius but he wanted his father's blessing. It meant the world to him to have it.

Lucius kissed him. "You know I have every intention of making you a member of my family one day and I know you want both your dads at your wedding."

Harry was shocked. "You'd really consider marrying me? I mean I know our talk with Draco about him not calling me dad, but you'd consider marrying me?"

Lucius smiled. "I am madly in love with you and happier then I have ever been. We will wait till you graduate but I definitely plan on proposing to you one day."

Harry's head was spinning with the news. It was not like the man had proposed to him but to know that Lucius actually saw a future with him like that and would want to marry him and spend his life with him, was more then he had ever hoped for. He had to admit he could see himself married to the man.

"Luc, you know I want to be a dad though. I mean I definitely can't be one to Draco, and I have always wanted kids." Harry admitted, scared to push him away.

"I always wanted more then one but Narcissa refused. I always wanted a little girl. If we marry one day, I'd be honoured if you'd have kids with me."

Harry could see himself with a little girl with the Malfoy features and his eyes and he smiled. "We haven't even been on a date yet and we're talking kids."

Lucius smiled as he realized that too. "Perhaps I can whisk you off for a proper date before school, now that everyone knows. I'd like to do this properly."

Harry and Lucius were both aware that when school started things would once again become hidden for Harry was not ready for the world to know about his new relationship at least until he was ready for them to know. Lucius would scream it from the roof tops if it was only about him but he understood Harry's concern over his friends and classmates and wanted Harry to be happy and comfortable.

Harry let Lucius lead him up stairs to his door where Lucius kissed him tenderly. "How about I whisk you off on a date the day after tomorrow?"

Harry smiled at the sound of that. "Sounds good though you're going to be the one to ask my father."

Lucius smirked. "Usually only have to ask the father for his blessing to propose but I think I can handle that. I just can't wait to have you out for real."

Harry agreed and when he slipped into his room his head was still swimming. He had his father's blessing to be with the man he loved and not only was he going to go on a date but the man had told him he saw a future, marriage and children, with him. Harry was not the only one whose head was spinning for Lucius felt like a giddy school boy when he thought about what he would do on his first proper date with his amazing young love.
