Chapter twelve

Draco met Harry at his home then they both headed to St Mungo's. Harry sat on the bed while Draco sat on the chair while they waited for healer Gibbs.

'Right on time Mr. Potter,' healer Gibbs smiled as he stepped into the room with about a dozen healers after him, 'Mr. Malfoy.' the healer nodded.

'Hello,' Draco nodded to everyone but saw a few suspicious looks.

'So how does this work?' Harry asked.

'Apart from normal spells to make sure the baby is growing how it should, I do feel your stomach to make sure everything feels right as well. So your shirt will need to come off, the pants you can leave on, just lowered slightly.'

Harry sighed, 'Oh great,' Harry unbuttoned his shirt but glanced at everyone watching him before he finally pulled his shirt off.

'Another lightning shaped scar, means he used the killing curse again,' healer Gibbs said as he saw all his colleagues staring at Harry's chest.

Harry shrugged, 'It was his favourite curse.'

'Actually Harry, the cruciatus curse was his favourite, he just liked using the killing curse on you,' Draco smirked making Harry chuckle.

'That's true.'

'What about all these other scars?' a young female healer asked.

'Voldemort liked to torture,' Harry shrugged again.

'Yeah, have a few of those myself.'

'I noticed that night Draco, not to mention the ones I did to you.'

'It's in the past Harry, we talked about that, let it go.'

'I know, doesn't make me feel better though.'

'Alright, so first, how are you feeling?' healer Gibbs asked.

'Still a little tired, but that's all.'

'So no morning sickness?'

'No, that queasy feeling stopped not long after I saw you a month ago.'

'Explain your morning routine, if you have one?'

'I'm an early riser, so I'm up, shower, make breakfast all by six, usually a decent size breakfast because the aurors have been out a lot and sometimes the days were long so we wouldn't get a chance to eat while we're out. So even though I'm on desk duty, I've gotten used to eating a lot at breakfast time.'

'Then maybe being a man is the reason you aren't getting morning sickness. It could still happen though or what you had last month is all you will get, let's just wait and see. So lie down and I'll see how everything is going with you and the baby.'

Harry saw Draco smirking at him as he lay down, then watched as the healer perform his charms, then his hands were pressing all over his stomach.

'That's uncomfortable, it's made me feel like I need the bathroom.'

'Yes, it will and you will feel that a lot as you get bigger. But everything feels normal, so you can sit up and put your shirt back on,' healer Gibbs waited until Harry had dressed, 'We would like to ask if you can take some of your blood. Even though this happened while you were under the influence of polyjuice potion, we would like to make sure if that was the reason.'

'Why would it be anything else, men can't get pregnant?'

'Actually, we found one case of a male pregnancy, over six hundred years ago. Now there are no records about this man so we can't be sure of anything.'

'He might have been gay and wanted to have kids so they used polyjuice potion,' Malfoy said.

'Actually Draco, that's would make sense. It is a way gay men could have kids. I remember Dumbledore telling me about his partner and how they both wanted kids, but being gay men they couldn't.'

'That is why we want these tests Mr. Potter. It could mean anyone in same sex relationships can have their own children. Mr. Malfoy if you could, tell us how you felt that night because you are a gay man who had sex with a woman even though you knew it was a man.'

'It was a little strange to be with a woman. I was actually worried that I wouldn't be able to do anything, woman do not turn me on. But I kept reminding myself that it was a man, Harry and I, but I always thought Harry's eyes were very nice, so I used that.'

'We had a bit of privacy even with everyone there, but they weren't watching everyone else. So Draco and I didn't have to go with the whole foreplay, we just acted like we did.'

'So it was basically straight intercourse?' a young male healer asked.

'Yeah, after about twenty minutes of pretending, then we had sex.'

'So with what happened to Harry and your tests, it might mean a gay couple could have their own family?' Draco asked.

'It could, that is the reason for the tests and documenting everything. I know normally most young people do not like to talk about their sex life, but as healers we have heard it all. So we try to make people feel comfortable so they will tell us what happened and how they feel.'

'I'm not really the shy type when it comes to talking about sex, Harry on the other hand is.'

'I'm not shy Draco, I'm just used to keeping things to myself. Everyone has sex, I've just never had a reason to talk about it before, apart from in private with Ginny.'

'When you had sex, were you able to get wet?'

'Um, yeah, which surprised me since we didn't do anything beforehand,' Harry watched as the healers kept writing every time he answered a question.

'How does your girlfriend feel about this situation?' healer Gibbs asked.

'She told me to terminate, I basically called her a selfish bitch. Then she told me Draco couldn't be part of it. I could have been in Draco's position, I would want to know. That is why Draco was the first person I told since he is the other father.'

'Being stressed right now is not good for you, so I would keep any fights between her and you to a minimum.'

'We broke up so I won't be seeing her, I've even changed the enchantments around my home and fireplace. I know originally I said to her that I didn't want kids, but that was because of my life. I figured that if I had kids then those death eaters would have gone after the child, I wasn't going to take the chance. Once we caught the last death eaters I started to believe I could have kids, I just didn't expect it to happen this way.'

'No, I don't think most men would think about being the one that got pregnant.'

'Since you told me, I actually like the idea that I'll carry and give birth, might make me understand women more.'

'Yes, it might,' healer Gibbs held out a vial, 'If you can fill that?'

Harry pointed his wand at his finger, then let the blood drip into the vial, 'That's a lot of blood.'

'You didn't even wince when you cut your finger Harry.'

Harry shrugged, 'Had a lot more painful injuries over the years, got used to it,' Harry watched the healer cork the vial, 'So is that all you need?'

'Yes, this will allow us to do a lot of tests. Now I would like you to keep a record of how you feel between appointments. Then bring that in with you at every appointment.'

'Okay, so about giving birth. There really isn't another way apart from a caesarean section, is there?'

'Probably not, but until we do some more tests, we won't know for sure.

'I figured, but I've gotten used to the idea of having to be cut. Now you did say I could find out the sex.'

'Are you both sure you want to know?'

'I do,' Harry said, 'Draco?'

'Yes, I would like to know.'

'Then you're having a daughter.'

'Blimey, a little girl,' Harry put his hand down on his stomach, 'Lily.'

'After your mother,' Draco smiled.

'Yes, Lily Luna Malfoy Potter. I hope you don't mind Luna, she basically saved my life after Sirius died.'

'I'm just glad you want to include Malfoy into the name, but I like Lily Luna, it's nice.'

'Unless you have any other questions, I think you can go now, remember your vitamin potion every morning.'

'I have been, thanks, but one more, my boss wants to know how long I can keep working even if I'm on desk duty?'

'With woman, if they want to and nothing goes wrong they can work right up until they give birth, some leave work after the first few months, it will probably be the same for you. If it gets too much, you'll know to stop working. I'll see you both in a month.'

Harry waited until the healers left before looking down at his stomach again, a girl, his daughter was growing inside. Harry couldn't believe how choked up he felt right then, but when he glanced at Draco he saw how emotional he was as well. Two young men that had very hard lives were both sitting there with unshed tears in their eyes, for their unborn daughter.
