John had no idea how to tell his husband he was pregnant. He was glad his dad had remained the twins and Fenrir as well. Between his dad and the older twins, he thought or hoped they could help him come up with the perfect way to tell Lucius. His dad and the twins were so happy for him. He worried Lucius might be a bit hurt when he realized he wasn't the first one to know. Remus reminded his son that Lucius would just be so ecstatic with the news he wouldn't care. He'd have expected John to tell someone especially with Remus there. Lucius knew how close John had been with his dad since they found out they were dad and son, and he'd expect it. Severus was a bit surprised when he learned before his brother but he and John got along. John needed some help knowing Lucius and Draco was not there, and he couldn't wait till he got back. Severus had been there when Draco was born, and if anyone knew him as well as John it was Severus. Severus was happy to hear the news and help. Lucius loved being a dad to Draco but due to his former wife and the war, he never got to be a proper dad. Severus didn't doubt for a moment Lucius would be hands on, even changing diapers and helping with midnight feeds.

Lucius had absolutely no clue what was going on. He found himself bored without a wedding to try and help plan, and was looking towards a nursery. He knew he was going to have to allow his husband a hand in it. He just hoped it was their nursery, before Draco and Hermione's.

He was a bit surprised when his brother asked him to meet him in town on Saturday. "I am surprised, thought you'd holed up in Scotland."

Severus smirked. "If I knew you'd be so welcoming I'd have stayed."

Lucius shrugged. "I just meant I saw you last weekend."

Severus shook his head. "Forgot you governors decided to make it a Hogsmeade week for the students, not just seniors."

Lucius laughed. "Most of the students remained for the week; we thought it would be nice for them to be able to get out a bit."

Severus smirked. "No town to go to for peace and quiet, and more free time with no classes."

Lucius clapped him on the back and apologized for ruining his friend's week. He wasn't exactly sure why Severus continued to teach, he head potions at the hospital or have his own business. But as much as his brother complained about the school he remained. Lucius knew it had a lot to do with his snakes who he did care about. Even since the war there was some prejudice as well as some of his kids having troubled families. He had always had an open door policy unlike Minerva and many of his kids used it.

Lucius had been happy for the invitation. He didn't work weekends since his husband came into his life. John wasn't at work, but his dad and the twins were leaving tomorrow, and John was spending time with them.

Severus raised an eyebrow when he noticed where they were headed. "The baby shop? Something you need to tell me?"

Lucius shook his head. "No, John ordered a gift for his little brothers, and since I was going to meet you, I offered to pick it up."

Severus came into the store with him. "I guess if it was your baby, this store would be soon empty from top to bottom."

Lucius shrugged and couldn't deny it. "Draco's room I couldn't even picture. I made so many mistakes with him."

Severus squeezed his arm. "You know Dragon understands, you were trying to protect him even from his mother. It will be different now."

Lucius went up to the counter. "I will get to raise my own child, and not rely on you to help all the time."

Unfortunately for much of Draco's life it was Severus who raised him, well and an elf. Even if Severus had been a spy he had been able to be hands on. The manor was being used even in peace times as a meeting of Narcissa's kind of people, and the black market. It never took much to convince Narcissa it was better their son not be in the manor. It was not about Draco's safety to her but not having a crying baby or child.

Lucius was confused when he saw the bag. "Why is there some pink mixed in?"

Severus raised an eyebrow. "Is Remus pregnant again that I don't know about? I'd not think he'd be so soon, especially how long it took them."

Lucius shook his head. "I don't think they have ever started to try, the twins are not even a year old yet. It must be a mistake."

The store clerk shook his head. "That is what Healer Black ordered from the shop, he was very specific."

Severus shrugged. "Perhaps a gift for his goddaughter? He does tend to spoil the red headed children, he will be as bad as you one day."

Lucius took the bag and knew Severus was right about both. He had spoiled Draco but mainly out of guilt. That was not to say when he and John had children he would not spoil them rotten, but they'd also have all the love and attention they needed. He planned to buy out this store, as much for his husband as the baby. This would be John's first baby when they got pregnant and he needed to be spoiled too.

Severus convinced him to go to lunch and looked at the time after as Lucius was anxious to go. 'I hope I gave him enough time.'

John was grateful for Severus' help. He had needed someone to get his husband out of the house so he could set the plan in action. His dad and the twins he needed to help besides Lucius would suspect if they were distracting him. Lucius of course was collecting part of his plans for him. It was a bit of a scavenger hunt of sorts. Severus promised to keep him out as long as possible and John prayed he would succeed. He wanted this to be right, even if Lucius had done this before. His dad reminded him Lucius had never got to have this part either.

John looked at the nursery door. He was told it was the room that had once been Draco's nursery, but he walked away from it. It was in another wing of the manor. He went to the door next to their room, which he and Lucius already commented was perfect for a nursery.

John looked at his dad and the twins. "You're sure these wards will hold?"

Remus laughed. "Cub I swear they are likely stronger than the school, they are air tight. Alastor would not do you wrong, or me and the twins."

Fred nodded. "And Severus added some, and he said even Lucius can't break his."

George shook his head. "You would think you were hiding a treasure or something, or a lover, from your husband."

John put his hands to his stomach. "Well it is about a treasure, just not the kind you can count or sell. But he is not allowed in."

Remus reminded him of the password. "I assume someone will have to go in to decorate unless you plan to wait till the baby is born."

John knew his husband and he had no intention of allowing John a say in the nursery. Lucius liked to be in control like he had been with their wedding. He thought it was romantic and sweeping his husband off his feet but it could be irritating as well. John loved what Lucius planned for their wedding but it was fair game. He planned to decorate the nursery for their baby. He knew Lucius would still buy out stores for him, and there were nurseries in other houses to decorate, but this was their main home. Lucius was working on renovating Grimmauld top to bottom, having opted to sign over the townhouse to Draco before he died. Grimmauld eventually would be their city home, and need a nursery too.

John reminded his dad as they headed down, that the elves could get into the room. Any furniture or items his husband wanted to buy the baby the elves could put in. And he was welcome to the one at Grimmauld, but this was the main nursery, and it was his.

Remus heard the advanced warning and motioned to the twins. "We better go join Fenrir and the others, our part doesn't come until later."

Fred called over his shoulder. "Don't worry, I will pinch Celia to make her cry on cue."

John punched him in the arm. "No pinching my goddaughter thank you. Besides Fleur recorded the sound, when she was crying earlier."

George pulled his twin along. "I am starting to understand why your wife looks worried every time she has to leave you alone with the twins."

Remus shook his head and turned to his son. "I better go check on my own twins. Good luck."

Watching them go John had to wonder. He knew twins were extremely uncommon in male pregnancies without fertility potions. His dad hadn't used them, but wolves were known for having multiples more often that humans were. Thinking of both Fred and George, and Fred's twin boys, he wasn't certain he'd be hoping for his own set of twins. He'd love them if he did and he looked at his own little brothers who were such happy babies, but he'd be more than happy with one. And while a girl was always welcome, he could admit a boy was on his mind.

Lucius came into the manor and didn't see his husband who slipped into his cloak. Lucius thought he heard voices coming from the den, but when he went in, he found it empty, but there was his husband's sketch pad open on the table.

He bent down and picked up the pad and looked at the picture. "This seems a bit more fluffy and cuddly then he tends to draw."

Severus looked at the picture which was an animated woodland of animals. "You told me of the pictures he does for his patient."

Lucius nodded. "He is considering doing another series and allowing my publisher to sell it. But hers is about a Princess, not woodland animals."

Severus shrugged and picked something off of the table. "Ran out of vases did you?"

Lucius looked at the dusty pink and blue flowers and realized they looked to be in a baby bottle. "I don't know, Remus and the boys are here."

Suddenly the room filled with the sounds of a cry of a baby. Lucius had heard enough babies, he didn't think it sounded like one of the twins. He looked around the room, he could have sworn the sound was in the room, but they were alone. It was then he realized the sound was coming from his chair by the fire. He was not sure what he was expecting, but he found what looked to be a muggle baby monitor, sitting next to a bear. He thought for a moment the bear belonged to Remus' boys or a Weasley but he stopped. It was Draco's as a child.

He was too distracted, as he used a spell to find the other half, to noticed the look on his brother. Lucius followed the trail up the stairs, totally confused at what was going on. That was until he found himself outside the door that would be the nursery. He found it heavily warded.

Lucius looked and he could tell Severus had helped with one or two, and those alone he could not break. He turned to him. "What is going on?"

Severus shrugged and headed for the stairs. "You'll have to ask your husband. My job is done here thanks."

John suddenly appeared next to him, his cloak over his arm. "Try all you want but you're not getting in there for nine months."

Lucius turned to look at his husband. "Nine months? You mean we're….."

John kissed his husband. "I found out the day of Hermione's bachelorette party. The baby is due on or just after New Year's."

Lucius took his husband into his arms when the shock wore off, and twirled him around. He couldn't believe this was happening, they were finally pregnant. He was worried he'd have to stop from hexing Draco if Hermione got pregnant first. He was not happy about the nursery but John would not budge. Lucius kidnapped the wedding so it was his turn. Like John couldn't know until his wedding day, Lucius couldn't know until the baby came home. He knew his husband would still buy out stores, and have a baby shower, and reminded him of Grimmauld. Lucius smiled and told John the renovations were nearly done and he'd do it, but he planned on getting in that room.

John went to lead him down for the impromptu little party. "You can try, but I have been assured by Moody and Severus, you have no chance."

They had an impromptu party but mainly just with his dad and Fenrir, and the twins' and their wives. George thought he should try and have it early, so their kids could go to school together since his was due in the fall. John kind of hoped for the New Year, smiled at the thought of Lucius' child and grandchild in the same year. Lucius would of course insist on a baby shower, but after they found out the sex of the baby. They decided to make any real announcement and celebration until Draco and Hermione got back. Lucius wasn't surprised or hurt his dad and the twins knew first, or Hermione knew as well. He was assured his son at least couldn't hold it over his head.

Draco and Hermione returned two weeks after their wedding from a honeymoon. They had been shocked when they had not been in Tahiti. Draco shook his head and said he should have known. His dad had given in far too easy about telling him where the honeymoon was.

Draco smiled as he whisked his wife of her feet. "I recall another muggle tradition you told me of."

Hermione smiled as her husband carried her over the threshold. "Do you think you could make it all the way up to bed?"

They stopped by a clearing of a throat and Lucius spoke when they looked up. "More details then I'd like to hear."

Draco kissed his wife and put her down. "You couldn't have waited to see us until tomorrow."

John had come up next to his husband. "If we knew that was going to be your attitude, we'd have rethought your wedding gift."

Hermione hugged him. "I'm happy to see you."

Draco and Hermione were surprised to find much of their townhouse was redecorated. Unlike Grimmauld which was full of dark magic, the townhouse just needed a cosmetic face lift. Lucius had a team in there in the days since Grimmauld was finished. Like Grimmauld a number of muggle items had even been added. The manor had a television for years and computer but not here until now. Lucius had told his son he was signing ownership over of the house now, but not he had plans to make it really the couple's home. He even had a nursery in mind for them. He was trying to convince his son he needed to accept one of the other Malfoy homes for weekends at least, when they had kids. Lucius had five in the country, three besides this and the manor. As well as theirs in France and Italy. John between Black and Potter had a dozen to pass on to their kids one day, two titles and estates as well of course. Severus had said long ago since he had no plans for kids, he'd leave his to Lucius'.

Hermione was happy to see John, and she sent him a look which he understood. He nodded his head, of course he had told Lucius. There was no way he could have held out this long on his husband. It was one of the reasons they were there.

Lucius looked at his daughter in law. "And how did you like your honeymoon?"

Hermione turned to him. "Egypt? We were expecting water and sand but not a cruise down the Nile. And then those days in Turkey."

John smiled as it had been his idea. "I was reminded you were so jealous when the Weasleys got to go back before third year."

Draco was amazed. "I have been to a lot of places, but it was incredible. I'd like to go back, well Africa for a safari one day."

Lucius kissed his husband. "You sound like your stepfather, he mentioned that when helping choose a destination for yours."

For Lucius and John it wouldn't be so simple. They could stay in a wizarding resort, and there would be no issue about two men sharing a room, as wizarding laws were certainly different. They'd have to be careful when in the muggle sector for things like a safari, to be hands off. It was why he chose somewhere gay friendly for their honeymoon, as they were very hands on. But he planned to take his husband on a safari too. Egypt had been wonderful for the couple. They spent the first ten days on a cruise, and got to see all of the sights of Egypt, and made it as well to the famous temple ruins in Jordan. The wizarding version of the library of Alexandria, and the lighthouse still existed, not naked to muggle eye, and had been amazing to see, as well as the pyramids. They had spent the last few days in Turkey, saw the Trojan ruins, and enjoyed the baths.

Lucius was happy to hear they enjoyed it so much. He had been a bit unsure, he thought something a bit more traditional for a honeymoon. But John knew Hermione was not much for daring adventure, and was sure Egypt they would both love. Lucius' choice originally was Thailand.

Hermione saw neither John nor Lucius were speaking so she acted. She handed John a package. "I found this for you."

Draco looked a bit surprised. "I don't recall picking up any souvenirs along the way but for ourselves."

John smiled when he found an adorable stuffed crocodile. "A bit safer than the real ones, for our son or daughter to play with."

Lucius agreed. "Maybe a kneezle when they get a bit older, not so many teeth."

Draco realized what his dad was saying. "You guys are pregnant? And how come my wife knew?"

John laughed. "I told her the night before your wedding but swore her to secrecy as your dad didn't know."

Draco of course was happy for them, thrilled in fact. He was in his twenties and a bit old for a baby brother or sister but he loved the idea. He knew how much it meant to his dad and to John to have the baby. When he heard it was due around New Years', unlike George he was of course hoping for the later. Like John he had to laugh at his dad having to take a grandchild and child to the train together.

Lucius looked at Hermione. "Well if you two get pregnant soon, you can share it. Perhaps with Pansy, a massive three way baby shower."

An: So total and absolute fluff, to thank you for your reviews. Won't last, we need Molly in the picture to deal with her once and for all. But like I said you review fluff, you get rewarded. And as I know people will ask, I will be taking a vote on sex, and suggestion on baby names. No twins, there have been 2 pairs already in this story.
