The Malfoys and Snapes had a quiet Christmas morning with Remus at Malfoy manor. The theme of the gifts had all been baby related except for Draco and Remus of course. Hermione and Harry had received all the furniture a baby could need for two nurseries (one at school and one at home for each). They'd start getting clothes and such at the baby shower Molly promised to throw. After lunch they headed to the Burrow.
Lucius looked a bit sceptical. "You swear they're not going to hex me or my son?"
Hermione kissed him. "They wouldn't dare. They know that I would castrate them if they dared to touch my daughter's daddy."
Severus looked at Harry. "I know they're you're family but I'm with Luc on this. I know Remus is reasonable, but dinner at the Burrow?"
Harry shook his head. "You boys are acting like a bunch of scared kids. How is it that you were spies all of these years and can't face the Burrow?"
"The death eaters didn't have the Weasley twins among them." Severus laughed gently.
"Besides when Harry was unconscious, you two managed to get along with them fine." Hermione reminded them.
"I guess I need to be in a coma more often if it will make my family come together." Harry joked.
Severus pulled him into his arms and grabbed some floo powder." Don't even joke about that." And then throwing floo powder in called. "The Burrow."
The Burrow was as festive as usual though Harry noticed the walls between the kitchen and sitting room had been removed to allow for enough dinning space for the extended family to eat in doors. From the look of things Molly had out done herself but the smell hit home as soon as Harry stumbled out.
"Oh Merlin, I'm going to vomit." Harry said and raced through the house to the nearest bathroom, almost running Bill over on the way.
As he was heaving he heard Bill outside the door. "Morning sickness or the floo?"
"I think a bit of both. Your mother's cooking and the floo travel." Severus said as he came into the bathroom.
He helped Harry to his feet when he was done and led his husband back downstairs where Molly looking quite concerned came to hug him. She had been pregnant enough to not need to ask
"My Christmas cooking a bit to much for your delicate stomach after the floo network? I'll get you some saltines." Molly assured him.
She turned to Severus. "I already greeted Hermione and her husband and stepson. Welcome to our home for Christmas. Harry is family so you are as well."
Harry was helped into a chair and Fleur came over. "Here is a little trick that helped me out. You won't have to worry about the smell of the food."
Harry realized what ever she had done he couldn't smell anything. He knew smell affected taste but considering the state of his stomach he guessed he'd be doing little eating anyways but was grateful for her help as well as the saltines Molly brought.
Penny smiled as they sat down for dinner. "I guess Hermione you're counting your blessings not having morning sickness."
Fleur looked at Harry. "A month more and you'll be eating a storm and having the oddest cravings I always liked fried onions on chocolate ice cream."
Harry groaned. "Can we not speak about your odd cravings? I'm having a hard enough time watching you guys eating all of this food."
Severus kissed him. "Just think this time next year you'll have a beautiful baby boy in your arms and be unable to eat for different reasons."
Harry smiled. "Because I'll be feeding him a bottle. You definitely know how to remind me of what is important Sev."
Besides Harry only eating saltines and a bit of mashed potatoes, dinner was a wonderful family event. Even Lucius and Severus settled in well enough. Draco of course had an easier time for he not only had Harry and Hermione but he got along well with the Weasley twins and older siblings, even Ron and Ginny.
Before they left Molly gave Harry and Hermione each a gift. "A blanket and booties." Harry and Hermione both smiled.
Molly nodded. "I knitted for my babies and my grandbabies. I think of both your two as my grandchildren even if not by blood."
That earned hugs even from the fathers to be who were touched and after dinner were genuinely feeling welcome here in the home. It seemed odd Molly could accept them into her family after everything but they could both see what their spouses meant to the woman and the babies as well.

When Harry and Severus arrived at Flint Manor two days later Harry was relieved to find while his morning sickness had not abated and he'd be using the spell Fleur taught him, during the reception, he didn't have to beg someone to show him to the bathroom. He just wished Hermione looked less radiant in glowing in hers.
Severus smiled and shook hands with Thomas Flint. "Thank you for inviting us Tom. This is my husband Harry."
Tom smiled. "I believe you're one of my son in laws housemates are you not? He has spoken of you as well of course as what we all know."
Harry kept smiling. "Thank you for your welcome. I was hoping I might see Dean before the wedding. Because of my condition I wasn't able to attend his bachelor."
Tom smiled and his wife Nora came over. "Of course young man. I hear you and Hermione Malfoy are both expecting. Dean will be pleased to see you."
Harry was led through the grandiose manor who's guest house Dean and Audrey would live in on weekends and when he finished school, and to a main floor bedroom where he not only found Dean but also Seamus and Neville, Ron soon joining. Seamus was his witness as they were best friends, but the entire Gryffindor sixth year boys wanted to be together for one last go.
"You missed a great party last night but I guess you wouldn't have had much fun." Seamus laughed.
Harry hugged Dean. "Feeling okay with going through with this?"
Dean smiled. "Audrey isn't bad really. And besides I have had a chance to get to know her first. It'll be weird though being married and still living in dorms."
Harry laid his hand on his flat belly. "I for one am happy my husband teaches at school and I get him all the time. Though I wasn't so happy to begin with."
Neville shared a glance with Seamus. "Maybe we should jump on this marriage band wagon and Ron too. Looks like we're missing out on the fun."
The five boys had fun laughing like old times and eventually Harry joined his husband and the other guests in the gardens which were tented for the winter and watched the beautiful ceremony. Audrey was quite beautiful, nothing like her late troll like brother and if there was no love between them he could tell there was friendship between Dean and his bride as they exchanged vows.
"Now I present to you Mr and Mrs Dean and Audrey Flint."The minister finally announced. Harry remembered as Audrey was the last Flint heir, Dean had agreed to her last name.
The reception was held in another tent and to get his husband's mind off of the food as Severus could see even with the spell, Harry was going green; Severus led him out onto the dance floor.
"I was thinking in September on our anniversary, we renew our wedding vows." Severus whispered.
Harry looked up in surprised delight. "You mean it?"
"I want to give you the proper family wedding you deserved, not one in the headmaster's office. And our son can be our ring bearer." Severus explained.
Harry smiled. "I think I'd agree to that but on one condition. We get a second honeymoon and one a bit longer then two nights."
Severus kissed him. "That can be arranged though the honeymoon might have to wait till next Christmas when we can be away that long. And our son is older."
As they danced Harry was touched his husband had suggested it. He had to admit looking at the beautiful wedding he was a bit jealous. It would be far more special for them to renew their vows when they were really in love and a happy family.

Hermione was sitting with her husband on one of the benches outside for some fresh air when he pulled a small box from his pocket and handed it to her. She was surprised considering Christmas was only days before.
"What is this Luc? You have already spoiled me rotten for Christmas." Hermione admonished him.
"Just open it. Most of your gifts were for the baby. I wanted this one for you." He explained.
Hermione opened the lid on the box and found two muggle airline tickets but there was something wrong. "These are one way airline tickets from Sydney."
Lucius nodded. "I have had a PI tracking down your parents and by February they should have their memories back and be on their way back home. Those are open ended tickets."
Hermione through her arms around her husband. "You really did that for me? You found my parents."
Lucius kissed her. "I know how much you missed them. I'll help them re-open their practice and what ever. Our daughter should have her grandparents."
Hermione started crying. "You are the most amazing husband Luc. This means the world to me. Thank you."
Lucius had been working on it for some time and had planned on waiting until he found them and brought them home to tell her but after seeing her with the Weasleys, he knew he had to tell her. Molly and Arthur would love her baby as their own grandchild, but he knew how much her own parents would mean.
