Chapter 14 - Decisions
XxXxXxXxX
Draco had taken time away from the Gallery to tend to his growing family. Harry had rested as much as possible but sometimes Kamden's appitite didn't leave much time for this. He was a growing boy and an appitite he did have. One would think he was Ron's son. By the end of the week Harry and Draco had decided to announce to their family and friends of the news. It had been kept a close secret. Of course Riha and Brad knew. There was no way around it. The others hadn't been told yet and they hoped they would understand. Which they knew they would once they learned the truth of the situation. Still though Harry was hesitant in telling them.
It was around 11am everyone had began to arrive. They didn't know what they would learn today. All they knew was that they had been invited to lunch with their friends and family that they had missed a great deal. Harry had been having such a hard time lately with the pregnancy and it worried them. They just didn't know how much their worry was for good reason.
Harry and Draco's parents were first to arrive, followed by Andromeda , Riha , Brad and the twins. They already knew of the situation and had been helping all they could. The next to arrive were Hermione, Ron and Rose.
" Draco, it's so good to see you. How is Harry? " Hermione asked, sitting Rose down next to Blythe to play and giving Draco a much needed hug.
" Harry is fine. He will be down in a while. He has been resting and getting ready today. "
" Thats good to hear. We've been so worried about him and the both of you as well." She smiled watching the two girls play on the floor.
" Thank you, we appreciate it. So Ron, how have you been mate? " Draco asked derailing the conversation until everyone else had arrived.
" Busy. We were sent to Ireland where some imbicle had tried to breed some kind of Dragon with what we have no clue. It was hidious and seemed to be pretty viscious. We had to have Charlie come in with us and secure the creature and he took it back to Romania to the Dragon camp for study. I don't think they really know what the bloody hell it is. I would hate to think more of them were out there. Thankfully he had only managed the one. Blaise was nearly scratched to death. Neville managed to stun the thing before it actually attacked him. Blaise might of killed the guy who was responsible if it had managed to sink its claws into him. He is ok though. Seething but ok."
" Bloody hell man. I guess it's not always boring. Doesn't suprise me though. There will always be those out there who think they can just breed whatever the like. Usually ends up a disaster Auror's have to clean up. I'm glad no one had been hurt by it. "
" Yeah and thankfully you didn't have to see it either. The thing reminded me of a cross between a werewolf and a dragon. It was only a few months old and yet was already the size of an adult dragon. " Ron shuddered at the thought and Draco was speechless with his mouth slightly open in shock.
The others had started to trickle in. Almost all of the Weasley's had arrived except for Ginny who was probably coming with Skyler. They had been dating for about 8 months now and getting rather serious.
Once everyone was gathered into the living room Draco cleared his throat and stood before them. His parents along with Harry's and Andromeda stood beside him. Everyones attention were now on the people before them.
" It's good to have you all here. It seems like it has been forever that we all could get together. " Draco looked around nervously.
" Is something wrong Dear. You don't look so well. " Molly said to him.
" Well, that is what we have asked you all here about. Everything is fine now but there are alot of things we need to tell you about. All I ask is that you hear me out and anything our parents and Andromeda has to say. Then we will answer your questions. " Everyone noded their heads in understanding.
Hermione feared the worse. Harry was no where to be seen, Draco had seen better days but if something that bad were to of happend surely he wouldn't be this calm. She willed herself to stop thinking that way and to keep the tears at bay.
Luna stood, understanding in her eyes. She was a seer and pretty much already knew the situation at hand. She gathered the children and took them out back to play so the adults could talk. She would talk with Draco later.
Draco began his tale. " Harry went into labor March 17th and gave birth to a healthy baby boy. There were complications though. " The look in their eyes changed to something of horror. Tears began to roll down their faces. The thoughts were probably bad by the looks apon their faces.
" Both Harry and our son are fine now. But we do need to let you all know why we have not told you of the situation before now. It was something that had to be done, no matter how much it pained the both of us and our parents to keep this from you all. It still bothers us now that we are just now telling you all this. "
Draco launched into the truth about Harry's pregnancy and delivery. Their parents were there for support and conformation of the events along with Andromeda and for her to explain the severity of the situation.. It had taken longer then they had expected. Everyone was in tears before the second sentence had even began. Parts were even told though sobs coming from Draco. It was almost like reliving it all over again. He was thankful that Harry had stayed up stairs he didn't want him to have to witness this. It would of been to heart breaking for him still recovering from the experience himself.
Blythe had came back into the house and stood next to her daddy. She had wrapped her arms around his legs as he spoke the last of his words. She tugged on his pants leg to get his attention. He scooped her up. Kissing the end of her nose.
" What is it sweetie? "
" Poppy and bubby want to come down now. I can feel them " was all she said. The look on his face was of pure joy. No she wasn't just empathy bonded to them in a crisis. She could always feel their emotions.
" Don't worry daddy, Papa feels much better now and bubby wants to meet everyone he's hungry too. " It was so cute. She would either call Harry Poppy or Papa depending on her mood. Draco had just caught the last part of what she had said. How in the world did she know that. Unless it was part of the bond.
" Why don't you and Nana go and get Papa and bubby. " She grinned as Draco put her down, latching onto Narcissa's fingers and pulled her towards the stairs.
" Hurry Nana, before bubby cries. " Giggles came from around the room. It was adorable how she had Narcissa wrapped around her finger. It was no secret that Severus was just as well.

Harry emerged from the stop of the stair case with his son cradled in his arms. He looked well rested. His body had taken back the form it was before becoming pregnant and his color was good. His eyes shown a new light of brillant green bringing back life to this once miserable being. He smiled as he entered the living room to introduce their new bundle of joy.
" Hello everyone. It's so good to finally be out of that room and to see all of you again. "
" Good to see you Harry. Who might that be there? " Angelina asked before everyone broke out into questions and a million hellos.
Draco placed his arm around Harry's waist looking down at his baby boy.
" Everyone, this is Kamden Abraxas Malfoy-Potter. " Harry announced and turned the baby around so everyone could see him.
" Oh he is so precious. " Hermione said.
" Woah , he looks so much like Blythe. Besides the hair and eye color. " said Arthur.
" I've never seen eyes like that before. There beautiful." Angelina comented.
" Yes, we were quite suprised ourselves. They really stand out. "
" Papaaa , bubby is hungryyy and he is going to cryyy . " Blythe said in her sing song voice. Everyone laughed.
" Ah yes and if we didn't know any better, as mentioned by someone else in this room one would think he was Ron's son. " Everyone laughed louder this time.
" Hey, I'm still growing. " Ron said.
" Yeah, and yet your still the same height. " Hermione said trying to keep her laughter under control. It earned her a glare from her husband.
" I am not fat. " Ron huffed.
" No , I can honestly say your not hun. I just don't know where it all goes, nor where you put it all. "
" I think he burns it off before he even swallows it. " said Fred.
" I believe your right brother. " George replied.
" Who cares, lets feed this little guy. " Ron said making his way to the kitchen. " He IS a growing boy. "
Jokes were always made at his expense. Would it ever stop? Probably not. Ron thought as he entered the kitchen where Dobby was finishing up lunch.
XxXxXxXxX
" Would yous all like lunch outside? " Dobby asked.
" I think we should stay inside for now. It might be a little to cool out for Kamden yet. " Harry said.
" Papaa, no bubby wants to go outside. Its warm today. "
" And just how would you know that. Bubby can't talk. " Harry asked his daughter.
" Papa, I just know. Bubby wants to go outside. Daddy can check. "
Draco just looked at his husband and shrugged his shoulders. He stepped out back where Luna and the others were. It was a warm day. Luna had sent him a knowing smile. Little do they know...She thought to herself. Oh but they would find out soon enough just how special their little boy really is. Luna smiled on and waved to Draco and the others, who were now all fileing out into the backyard. Helping Dobby with the food as they went.

A/N - It has come to my attention that my Family is here to begin once again ripping things apart on the house. Ugh just when I was getting this up again. You know its so good to dig big holes in your yard right before it Rains! I just hope they don't begin to cut new door ways in as well. Here is the delio. For the next few hours. Probably later tonight my mind will be working on this story probably well far ahead of myself. IF you would like to help wield this story- IE things and elements that may be apart of Kamden send the ideas to me via my email Or Im or however it works on here. You can also just leave it in a review if you like. I like to let my readers get involved when the oppurtunity presents itself. Maybe they won't be here very long and I can go back to writing. I have some ideas already but we can always add more!
Until Later - 1M.Soul
