Harry and Remy were released from the hospital after two nights, and while the others were still in town, Bill and the Slytherins were the ones to take him. Only Hermione was leaving soon, and since they had all been at the hospital a lot, they backed off from them for a bit. Harry was a first time dad, and both Molly and Andromeda knew while it could be scary, he didn't need to be over whelmed by people either. Andromeda and Ted were actually leaving, and were going to come down at Easter, so they would have some alone time, with Harry and Remy. They were all happy Harry planned to come back for a bit in the summer.

Harry smiled when he walked into the nursery, remembering the first time he had seen it, when he came home after almost losing her. He hadn't even thought of this home before then, he had felt like a guest, imposing on their good will. How things had changed in six months, and he was so grateful for it.

He looked at Remy who slept against him."We are lucky my little sun flower, aren't we? Draco and Severus sure love you a lot."

He had not realized he was not alone."We love her dad a lot too.'

Harry turned to see both Severus and Draco in the door; it had been Severus who had spoken. None of them had expected this, when Harry had come, but none would change it. Harry had gone to Severus for a pregnancy test, not wanting all the talk, and Severus offered to take him, in memory of Lily and Remus. Now Harry had almost a dad again, and he and Remy had a real home, where they could feel safe and loved.

Severus smiled as he placed a frame down, the newest addition to the room, on the table next to the rocking chair. It held the first picture of Daddy and baby together, first of dozens of photos taken, and sure to be added to. It was a double frame, the second photo of Harry with Remus when he was a baby.

Harry had never seen the photo before. "Where did that come from?"

Severus smiled. "Andromeda helped me locate it. We thought since he was around when you were a baby, there must be one."

Harry had a photo album from Hagrid full of pictures of his birth parents, and he had later seen some photos of the marauders but not this one. Lily and James may have been Harry's parents and died for him, but as much as he loved them, he never knew them. The only dad he had ever known was Remus, why his daughter was Remy and not Jamie, and Severus thought it would mean a lot to him. There had been a number of photos, and Andromeda had an album she made for Harry, but from the background, it looked like Harry was in the hospital. A newborn photo of him with Remus, next to one with him and Remy, they thought would be special.

Harry had tears in his eyes when he sunk down to nurse her, but he assured them they were tears of happiness, it meant a lot. He was not surprised when she was done, Draco reached for her for a burp, and she was soon off in dreamland.

Severus motioned him into his bedroom. "First rule of being a new daddy, you sleep when she sleeps."

Harry was going to protest it was just after lunch, but he was tired. "I guess I could use a nap."

There was a cradle next to his bed, and Draco laid her down in it, so Harry could see her. Severus reminded Harry he had only given birth two days before, and was recovering physically, as well as nursing.. Dobby had been summoned, while Kreacher had become loyal as could be, he had no experience with babies. Dobby had been nanny elf to baby Draco, and was more then honoured to be asked to care for Remy. Draco would return to studies and Severus to work, and even if Harry planned to be as hands on as possible, extra help was always welcome.

It did not take long for Harry to drift off to sleep, but he was out much longer then he thought, and when he woke he realized it was past dinner. He sat and looked to the cradle, surprised the baby was still asleep, until he noticed her cradle was empty

He began freaking, finding the nursery empty, till he found Severus on the porch swing. Draco came out. "He didn't want to wake you."

Harry smiled at the image of Severus giving her a bottle. "I never thought to see the sight."

There was a spell to fill bottles, and Severus had used it, knowing Harry needed more sleep then admitted. He had come to check up on them, and had noticed the baby was starting to fuss a bit, and he thought to let Harry have some sleep. He had been trying to be helpful, he had not considered the scare he might give Harry.

Severus put down the bottle and moved to burp her. "There you go Princess."

It was the last day before the last of the visitor left, Molly and Arthur the only ones left. Harry had loved having them here, knowing Remy would have a big loving family, but Harry was not too sad to see them go. He wanted to settle into a routine with his daughter, and with the three he would have around him, and Dobby. He would continue to do texts, and had some more poetry about to be published. He would focus on his future, career wise, when the baby was a bit older. He had never cared about being rich, and had never thought to be a man of leisure, but right now it allowed him to focus on her for now.

Harry had not had a baby shower, but he had got plenty of gifts before she was born, but was not surprised to receive more. The photo album Andromeda made, and the quilt from Molly, were the two most important to him, and the framed photo of course.

Molly was helping him with the first few pages of Remy's first year book when she noticed. "It seems you missed a gift."

Harry was sure he had not seen that one before."That is odd."

Harry lifted the small pink package, and found no card on it, but it had likely had been with one of the other gifts. Harry's confusion turned to horror when he found what was in the box, and dropped it to the ground. Arthur picked it up and picked up a stuffed rat from the box.

Arthur assured his wife it was a stuffed animal though it looked real. "Harry it isn't real."

Harry shook his head. "Peter. It is a reminder of Peter."

Harry had been given the marauders stuffed animals, but of course a rat was not included, no one would give him a stuffed animal for the betrayer. Severus had come into the room, and quicker then the couple, he knew what was going on. He had no idea how it got here, and all the elves said, it had come with a post owl.

Severus went over to Harry who had scooped Remy up."I promise this is nothing. You know I won't allow anyone to hurt you or my granddaughter."

Harry looked down at the baby."How did he know?"

They knew he was thinking Ron, and they thought he was likely right, but how he knew the baby was born, they had no idea. Severus once again swore he wouldn't allow anyone to get near Harry or the baby, Remy would be safe. He assured Harry it was only a mean gift to taunt him, and was no threat.

When Harry went with Bill onto the porch for air, Severus muttered. "That brat better not come to make trouble. I will not allow anyone to hurt those two."
