Chapter 8 – Addition to the Family

When Harry woke he knew immediately that something was wrong. Well, maybe not wrong, but something just didn't feel right.

It took him a minute to realize that the bed was too cold.

He missed the warm body that usually lay beside him. It had only been a month since he started sharing a bed with Lucifer but he had gotten so used to it... It just didn't feel right when he wasn't there.

Though he wasn't ready to have Lucifer back in his bed.

He knew that Lucifer hadn't lied to him, he knew that. Lucifer had simply omitted certain facts, and hadn't corrected his misconception. That wasn't really why he was angry. And he wasn't really angry, he was afraid.

Not of Lucifer, no. He could never truly fear Lucifer. He was afraid of just how vulnerable he was.

Lucifer knew everything about him. Lucifer knew him as no one else did.

Lucifer had seen him at his lowest, knew his darkest secrets.

'Lucifer,' he prayed, 'how could you ever want someone like me? I don't know what to do.'

There was a flutter of wings and warm, strong arms wrapped around him.

"How could I not want you?" the deep voice washed over him, and he shuddered. "You saved me, little one. You shattered eons of silence and tamed my rage. You saved humanity from my wrath by simply being alive. For as long as you live so shall humanity be safe from me."

"And if I die?" Harry felt his heart hammering against his chest, his fists clenching into the sheets.

Lucifer's arms tightened around him. Lucifer's hold turning possessive, desperate almost. "What right do they have to live when you don't?"

Harry turned burying his head in Lucifer's chest, hands clutching at the shirt the other male was wearing. He felt his body relaxing, though his heart kept his frantic beat. He placed a kiss over Lucifer's steady heart. "Lucifer, I don't want humanity to end."

Lucifer pulled him closer and he felt a feather-light kiss on his forehead. "I care nothing for humanity. Your death will break me, my love. Any light I regained will be lost without you, leaving nothing behind but all consuming rage. No matter how you look at it, humanity is doomed"

Harry's breath hitched. He knew Lucifer spoke nothing but the truth. He knew, and he didn't care. Was he so consumed by his feelings for Lucifer that he could overlook just what the Fallen Angel was willing to do for him, because of him? Was he willing to damn humanity so that he could have this little slice of Paradise?

He felt those soft lips on his forehead once more, a sweet kissing marking the fate of humanity.

"Can you stay with Teddy for a little bit?" Harry grabbed his jacked and looked at Lucifer who was lounging on the sofa.

"Sure, where are you going?"

"I have a meeting with a teacher of a potential school for Teddy. I had planned on letting him stay over at the Burrow, but since you're here..." Harry grinned, and Lucifer snorted.

"Sure, turn the big, bad Lucifer into a live in babysitter." Lucifer shook his head. "If my brothers saw this I would never live this down, you do know that, don't you?"

"Thank Merlin there are no brothers of yours around. I didn't really like the ones I met, you know?"

"Yes, I could tell."

Harry blushed at the hungry look he was getting from Lucifer. It really shouldn't surprise him that the angel had found it arousing to see him deal with the angel and the demon. And speaking about demons. "Don't think I forgot about that." Harry narrowed his eyes. "You may have distracted me this morning, but we still need to talk about what happened. I need to know how to protect Teddy."

Lucifer got up from his seat, making his way towards Harry. He pulled the wizard into his arms, burring his head in the delicate neck.

"I will not let anyone, or anything, harm Teddy. However, if it eases your mind, we will talk about it and I will tell you how to ward off my brothers." There was a gentle nip at his neck and Harry was hardly able to contain a moan. "It is better if you go now, before I decide your time is better spent writhing underneath me."

Harry couldn't apparate fast enough, the dark chuckle still ringing in his ears.

Well... that had been a waste of three hours. He would not let Teddy go to that school.

Sure, it seemed like a nice school, but the teachers...

Dear Merlin, they were religious fanatics. Alright, he may be exaggerating a little, but the teacher had become all snide with him when he said he was a single father. And things only got worse when they – another couple of teachers had joined the conversation by then – had subtly encouraged him to find a 'mother' for Teddy, so that he could have a female influence in his life, and Harry told them that he was in a relationship with a man. Well, an angel if one wanted to be technical about it, but that was beside the point. The point was, they had become all proper and polite and urged him to find solace in the Lord so that he could get over his wicked ways. They may not have worded it quite like that, but he had understood the underlying meaning.

He had felt so tempted to say his lover's name was Lucifer, and if possible could they have another meeting so that Lucifer could see the school for himself.

He had refrained, he had better control than that, but it sure had been tempting.

Either way, Teddy would not be attending a school run by bigots.

He didn't want his son in that kind of environment.

A soft whine caught his attention when he ducked into the alley so that he could apparate home.

He squinted, trying to see what was in the dimly-lit alley. Movement near a garbed bin caught his eye and he moved forward, his wand slipping into his hand.

A weak bark was heard and he relaxed slightly. He moved forward and saw a dog laying beside the bin. Its fur was matted in grime and it looked starved, but aside from that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. He knelt beside the dog, keeping his movements slow and non-threatening.

"Hey there, boy." The dogs' ears twitched and it lifted its head to look at him. Harry's heart melted at the soft, hazel eyes looked at him. Merlin, that was the definition of puppy dog eyes. He petted the dog's head when it did nothing but look at him with those soulful eyes. Harry winced slightly and looked away.

"Well, I know someone who will be overjoyed if you joined the family." The dog's tail wagged slightly and Harry sighed. Very carefully he picked up the dog, frowning when he noticed just how light it was, and pulled him closer against his body. "This will feel uncomfortable, little guy, but it won't be for long. Then I'll take care of you and introduce you to the rest of the family. You don't have to worry anymore, boy, you're home." A soft bark left the dog and it wagged its tail as if it understood Harry.

Harry smiled and with a near silent pop they were gone.

A.N.: Hey, I'm sorry this is so short. I've been sick, and to be able to meet the deadline for the competition I had to make it shorter. I hope you still enjoy it, and I'll make it up to you guys in the next chapter, alright?
