Andromeda had been right on about her grandson. He was so excited about being a big brother he wanted to tell the world. Harry groaned as his son wanted it to be twins. He would welcome any kids that came but he was imagining running after a toddler and twins. His son just wanted a brother and a sister. Harry and Draco would love one of each. They told him even if they didn't have both this time they planned to have another. They were not sure what they were hoping for. They would have loved a little brother for Teddy. But having a son already they could admit a daughter would be nice too. Andromeda laughed and told them it was best that way. It meant they would be truly happy either way. Andromeda and Ted had been like them with Tonks. They were never disappointed their only child was a girl.
They eventually had a reason to tell every one. They hadn't wanted to raise suspicion. The anniversary of the end of the war approached. None of the family planned to attend an official memorial. The Weasleys were having a lunch and since Lucius and the Tonks were invited it raised no suspicion. Oliver and Katie as well as Neville and Luna he was able t get an invitation for it as well.
Molly smiled when they came in "You boys can head out back. The others are all out there."
Harry smiled "The house would need a major extension to house us all now."
Molly smiled and took the tub of home made ice cream Harry brought "Perhaps soon it will be even fuller."
Harry knew what she wanted "Oh is one of your daughter in laws pregnant again. Which one?"
Molly shooed them out the door "You know I have plenty of wool waiting."
Harry shared a look with his husband when they went out back. Teddy was already there with his grandparents. They had been with them for Godric's Hollow but Harry went with Draco to see his mum and Uncle. Harry had been with the Weasleys the day before to see Fred as well as Molly's brothers. They had wanted today to be a happier time. Life had moved on and those they lost would have been happy for them.
The lunch was a muggle stile of barbeque for every one. It may have seemed an odd way to spend the anniversary but it was the way they all wanted it. The end of the war had meant a chance for every one to move on. The kids were a sign of that life moving on.
Draco looked around "I would think the woman had plenty of knitting."
Harry laughed "Molly won't be satisfied until we all give her a few."
Draco laughed "I thought dad was bad but I guess he only has us."
Harry motioned "Well speaking of your dad here he comes."
Lucius came over to them "I never thought how much time I would spend here when you two married. But I am happy to be invited."
The Malfoys had gone from a former feud to much welcome guests at the Burrow. Molly saw Harry as a son. He had Teddy besides Ginny and Charlie had no kids but they were also single. Percy and Penny were also expecting their first in the fall. And Fleur and Bill were talking about it. Molly would love their kids as much as the grandchildren from her blood kids. Harry and Draco both loved their kids would have such a big family.
The mood was happy one that afternoon. Harry spent a lot of time with his two godsons and Draco whispered it was too early for that state. After dinner Molly was seeing to treats and she brought out Harry's ice cream. They were shocked when some fireworks went off.
George shook his head when every one looked at him "It wasn't me."
Molly was even more confused when she looked at the ice cream "Pink and blue?"
Angelina pointed at a firework that looked like a rattle "These are the ones you made for my baby shower."
All eyes turned to Harry who smiled "Molly you will have your wish. You will be busy with all the Christmas knitting though."
Lucius was the one who spoke "I am going to have a second grandchild?"
They happily admitted the baby was due a few weeks before Christmas. Lucius considered Teddy his grandson already and always would so the comment about second he meant. The boys were soon swarmed in hugs. Harry and Draco chose not to tell any one about the odd cell count. They were going to focus on the positive.
George pulled him into a hug "See I knew the day would come for you."
Harry found compared to chemo the symptoms of pregnancy weren't so bad. He was a bit run down but the morning sickness was minor. He wondered how Molly managed so many kids. He was tired with just running after his one son. Lucius knew how much they loved the house but the only remaining room was Harry's office. He suggested they move into the manor but temporarily. Instead of just a nursery he was adding a second floor with four bedrooms for them. Harry's office would be the stairs and it moved into Teddy's room with the master as a guest room. None of the main part like the kitchen or sunroom they loved so much would change.
Assured they would be home by Harry's birthday they agreed. They knew they could have moved into another home but they loved this one. Teddy adored the home as well and with the promised extension it would give the room needed without taking from the original charm.
Harry was happy for the first time on the anniversary "I am happy we waited for today."
Draco kissed him "I know the family was anxious but I am too."
Harry looked at their son "I don't think the little man would have waited if your dad hadn't bribed him."
Lucius came in "I will have you know I have never had to resort to bribes. And the kneezle if an early good big brother gift."
Draco smirked "Not one to bribe are you? I think you have a short memory."
Lucius could admit he had spoiled his son when he was a kid. But most of that had been out of guilt. He hadn't been able to e there for his son as much as he would have liked to have been. He knew Severus had filled any voids and his son understood when old enough but it hurt. It was one of the reasons he was such an attentive grandfather to Teddy and soon the baby. He saw it as a second chance of sorts.
Lucius had taken Teddy shopping and bought him a kneezle. It had been a compromise as his dads didn't think him old enough for a dog. He got them to agree when he reminded them Kreacher would help. Teddy was totally in love with the cat though it kept getting lost in the manor.
Teddy may have been distracted but he knew what today was "I get to see the babies today."
Harry kissed his son "Teddy you know it isn't likely daddy will have twins. We plan to have another though."
Teddy shook his head "I wish on birthday candles and on shooting star daddy. I get my sister and brother."
Draco pointed at the black female Kneezle "Possibly Liquorice is part of the wish."
Teddy shook his head "Papa you silly. Liquorice is a cat not a baby."
Coming with them Andromeda assured them Teddy wouldn't be too heart broken if it wasn't twins. He would likely forget in no time. In male pregnancies twins were even more uncommon then female. Harry looked at Freddie and Gabriel and could only imagine. Angie and George wanted one more but they were waiting till the twins were two to even try. Molly thought the boys were giving their papa a taste of his own medicine.
The Tonks and Lucius were the only ones coming with them. Harry had no idea but a baby shower waited for him at their house. Lucius pushed so the extension was done early. Harry was past his first trimester and four months actually.
Draco saw the dragon sticking out of his husband's robes a bit "It is an ultrasound. They have been testing you all along. All we will learn today is pink or blue."
Harry smiled "Pink? Here I thought he or she would be in all silver and green."
Andromeda looked to Lucius and back "I wouldn't give him any ideas. You know as soon as Tonks learned the word no she never wore pink but her hair."
That really was no shocker to any of them. Harry could only hope if it was a little girl she was a lot like Tonks. He hoped she would have his mum's heart but Sirius always said that Tonks could give the marauders a run for their money. He could only imagine was mischief a son would get in to.
Draco kissed him as they waited "Tonight we will have nothing to worry about but picking a name for our new son or daughter."
