Learning to Cope

Reviewers: well, I want to thank the people who reviewed, even the flamer. Yes, I got a flamer. Thank you so much Elle, you made my day. You're probably wondering why a flamer is good. Well, I like criticism. It improves my work. And Elle, yours wasn't much critiqued. If you're going to flame, do it so that I care.

Xirleb70- you must be a loyal reader. You're the first to actually stick around for another fic. I really must thank you, since your were the first to review. Let me know when you have another update! I'm anxious to read more of your stories! Well, thanks for  I love it's (times a million, I guess. right?)  And keep being loyal you Hufflepuff, you! And thank you, for saying that it's sweet.

Me- well, thank you for the review.

Lenora- thank you!! I appreciate you saying that it's awesome.

Girl-prodigy2001- thanks! Here's the fourth!

ReMuS|r|us_80- what's wrong with Lupin and Snape? You cant tell me you like Lupin and Sirius???? I happen to like Lupin and Snape, so it stays. And the Marilyn Manson thing was just unwelcome. I didn't need that image. Marilyn Manson frenching a bunny, thanks for the picture.

Syd-thank you! I love the pairings, too! More Lupin and Snape? If that's what you want...

CrackHead- cute lil fic? Why, thank you. You haven't read anything like this before? I should be thrilled! But, I think that people tend to sleep a lot, I don't know why they are in this fic. It's just my wicked ego. *shrugs* You understand, right?

Ali- well, I did as you asked, and here's some more!!! Thanks for the review, I appreciate your support.

Severed scythe- I am! Don't eat my soul, I have the chapter right here! See? I come in peace...

Gil- good question. I wish I knew the answer... I wouldn't, though, since I am an American. I do know that Canada lets same sex couples marry, they recently passed a law. I should have probably looked into the whole same sex marriages in Britain before starting this series, but oh well. It's a story, and I just did an internet search, and I managed to figure this out: No other state or country in the world yet allows same-sex couples the freedom to legally marry. (except Belgium, Netherlands, and I think there are others, but the websites I looked at didn't help much). So to be honest, I just assumed that Britain allows same sex marriage, but if not, I just didn't do my research. Oh well.

And....drumroll please.....

Elle's review. I didn't want to post this, but I found it funny, so here goes. My comments are in bold.

one word: huh? (wow, you know how to count, lets do a polite clap for you) I mean what the hell was that. (I think they call it a fan fiction, but hey, I'm just a fan fiction writer) It was disgusting, (you consider gays disgusting? Then why on earth did you read it? I think I warned you..)illogical, (according to the dictionary, illogical means Contradicting or disregarding the principles of logic or without logic; senseless. Last time I checked, this story actually made sense, but hey, I could be wrong) not to mention you obviously have no skill at writing. (I don't? but my 3rd grade teacher told me I had talent! *starts to cry, but realizes that this is all a joke*.) I don't 
know if you're in the closet (in the closet? What? Are you calling me gay now? I can assure you that I am 100% straight, I just so happen to have gay friends, what's your deal? Not enough loving as a child? Or maybe you didn't get that Mercedes Benz you wanted so badly) or not but please don't post this crap. (Crap? What crap? Oh...your review. Too late....)
 
Sorry to have to put you guys through that, but I thought you guys would have a good laugh. If you're against slash, then leave. It's as simple as that. I'm not forcing you to stay here! However, flames keep me happy, because I like to break them down. Too bad this was the first I could break down...
 
And without further ado, the final chapter to Learning to Cope. 
 
Demon-Child.
 
Also, I found out that same-sex couples can have kids, and there are no proof that gay couples are unfit to raise children, so if any of this goes against your religion (seeing as I'm not very religious), then leave. There will be Pregnancy, and adoption.

Ch. 4- A joyous occasion…umm. Neville...where did the grooms go?

The Weasleys, Mr. Sirius Black and Mr. Lucius Malfoy

Invite you to the wedding of their 'sons'

Harold James Lucius Potter

And

Draco Rolin Malfoy

Seven o'clock, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, June 2nd, 1998.

The day had finally come, the day that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy had been waiting for. They had gone to a court date, and received permission to bond. For many, bonding is like a marriage, but stronger. They were now awaiting their 7 o'clock marriage, with nervousness and much excitement. Harry was awakened at 9:30 that morning, and Draco around the same time. They were forced to sleep in separate rooms, in the Castle of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The day before had been their graduation, and the day that both Harry and Draco had received respect.

As Harry and Draco sat in their seats, holding hands, they listened as their friends were called up, one by one, to be congratulated. Harry heard his best friend's name, and found himself smiling, as Hermione Granger stepped forward, and was handed a piece of parchment, while the professor's spoke a few words about her. A few names later, Draco was called, and the couple released hands, as Draco stepped forward. "We would like to send our congratulations to Draco Malfoy, our Head Boy, who passed as the second best male in his year. His achievements are incredible, and tomorrow, he will bond with his lover for all of Hogwarts to see." Everyone clapped proudly, Harry's being the loudest. A few names later, Harry was called.

"What can we say about Harry?" Albus wondered, as the audience laughed politely. "This has been an incredibly odd past 7 years for all of us, especially since we had Mr. Potter. Harry, it is my honor to inform you that you have the top scores for your year, with Ms. Hermione Granger as 2nd best, and Draco Malfoy as 3rd. I am proud to announce that you will have a plaque in your honor in the Great Hall, where all future Hogwarts students will be able to see how great of a student, and man, you truly are. I will be proud to stand on, as I watch someone who's like a grandson to me, marry in the view of this magnificent castle. Harry, everyone here owes you their life, and I owe you my soul. You have been offered the position of Defense Teacher for years to come, shall you choose to accept. Congratulations, Mr. Harry Potter."

The school burst out into claps as Harry waved, flashes flashing. He returned to his seat, and turned to Draco. "I love you, Mr. Malfoy." Draco smiled. "And I love you, Mr. Potter." They shared a sweet kiss, as the ceremony continued. Harry watched as the people he considered to be family graduate in front of him, and clapped the loudest for everyone, happy to be who he was today.

However, Graduation had ended, and now Harry Potter sat on his bed, surrounded by his godfather, Sirius, Remus, his best friends, Ron and Hermione, and his 'mother', Molly Weasley. Harry waited, as Molly looked over his robes once more, checking to make sure there were no wrinkles, as they sat around, Sirius  and Remus telling Harry stories of his parents wedding, all those years ago. 

*~* Draco's POV*~*

 

I was getting frustrated, as I sat on the bed, with my dad, Charlie Weasley, and a few other people, trying to keep me from seeing Harry. I angrily threw aside a present that my mother had given me, not wanting to have to deal with her. I wanted to see Harry, I would die if I couldn't see him. These stupid fools wouldn't let me. I glared at my father, who returned it with an innocent smile. Charlie saved me, by dragging my father off to do who knows what. I smirked, as I tip-toed out of the room, and walked the short distance to Harry's. Outside stood Hagrid, who was daring anyone to try to come up to him. Next to him stood Fred and George Weasley, who were smirking. I groaned; I couldn't see him unless I got past these idiots. Annoyed, I walked back to my room, and sat there waiting for the wedding to begin.

Harry's POV

Three hours left, I recalled, as Sirius and Remus left. I decided to sneak out, hoping to catch a glimpse of Draco in his room. Gladly, there was no one at his door, and I simply told Fred, George and Hagrid that I needed some fresh air, and they let me go. I walked to Draco's room, and knocked softly on the door. Draco answered, dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt. He smiled, and together, we snuck off, for a little make out session. We snuck off to a private room that I had found before, and we stayed there in each others arms, just loving the feeling. Little did we know that two hours had passed, and everyone was looking for us.

Poor little Neville Longbottom, who wasn't so little anymore, had been stopped by Sirius Black, who still scared him after what had happened in third year. Sirius looked directly at him, and said softly, "Where are the grooms, Neville?" Neville shrugged, not knowing where the two had gone off to. Sirius sighed, and rummaged through Harry's things, spotting the Maruaders Map. He pulled that out, and spotted Harry's dot, with Draco's, in the Marauder's special room. He rolled his eyes, and walked to the room, and opened the secret door that few knew existed. Draco and Harry broke their kiss, as Sirius stared at them, partly in shock, the other in laughter.

"Harry, Draco, it's time to get dressed." The two pouted, but separated, as Lucius took his son to do his hair, and get ready. Harry was dragged off as well, as Molly gave him a quick trim, and ruffled his hair. Only 23 minutes until 7, and just in time too.  Molly gelled her 'son's' hair, and helped him to get dressed, with time to spare. Molly looked him over, and smiled. She led him to a mirror, and he marveled at his appearance.

He had gotten rid of his glasses, and now his eyes were sparkling, with the beautiful emerald green that his mother's eyes were. He looked at his outfit in the full length mirror, happiness written all over his face. His robes were made from really expensive material, and were like dress robes, but fancier. There were a rich emerald green, to match his eyes. There was the silver trim, but other than that it was pure emerald green.

He wore a necklace, with the wedding rings of his parents on it, and his engagement ring as well. The engagement ring of his father's to Lucius was lent by Lucius, rested on his left index finger. The engagement ring that his father gave to his mother had a blue stone, what stone type it was happened to be unknown, in it. He was satisfied, as Sirius appeared, dressed in royal blue robes, as Harry had asked. Sirius looked his godson over, tears in his eyes.

"This is it, little Prongs. It's time." Ron appeared, dressed in similar royal blue robes as Sirius. Hermione wore royal blue as well, but it was low cut, and shiny. Harry smiled at both of them, as the group held hands, Remus appearing last. With the exact same robes as Sirius, Remus smiled at Harry, and leaned over. "Let's go, Pronglet."

Harry smiled at his father's friend, and followed the older men out, with Ron and Hermione holding the train part of his robes. As they took the hall to the outside doors, they passed by the Great Hall, where the reception would take place. Harry was led to where the covered walkway was set up, so that they could walk to the wedding. The crowd watched as Molly Weasley and the Weasley family was seated, along with Draco's family. Draco stood at the end of the walkway, his father whispering a few things to him.

Finally, the family was seated, with Draco's grandmother as the last. The music started, and Sirius and Remus stepped forward, watching as the little flower girl, Holly Weasley, Bill's little girl, stepped forward, and started throwing the flowers. Next was the ring bearer, Draco's cousin Alex. Finally, Sirius and Remus and Harry and Ron and Hermione knew it was time. An usher appeared, and led Ron and Hermione to their seats, as Sirius and Remus began the walk down the aisle with Harry.

Severus Snape smiled proudly at his lover, and also at his former student, as they stopped by him first. Severus gave Remus a nice long kiss, and turned to Harry. "well, Mr. Potter. I never thought I would say this, but you were a good student, and if anyone deserves you, it's Draco." Severus sat down, and Harry smiled. "Thank you, sir." Remus kissed his lover again, before they continued the walk, stopping at various people who had requested it. Finally, Harry stopped at Molly, who smiled, and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Mrs. Weasley, I want to thank you for everything you've done for me." Molly smiled, as she hugged him gently. "Anything for my son. Go get him, little one." Harry returned a smile, and Sirius, Remus and himself took the final steps, as he turned to Sirius first.

"Look at you, Harry. You're all grown up, about to get yourself a husband, and all I can think about is how similar you are to your father.  You've grown up so much the past couple of years that I've been here with you. Your parents would be proud." Sirius hugged his godson, and took his seat, as Remus spoke.

"When I became your professor in your 3rd year, I had no idea how much of a man you'd grow into. Lily once told me that no matter what, any of her kids would be incredible, and she was right." Remus hugged Harry as well, as Draco finally was able to take his lovers hand. "Hey." Draco whispered softly. "Hey." Harry whispered back, as they turned to Albus Dumbledore, grins on their faces. Albus smiled at them both, and said clearly "Sonorus." His voice grew louder, like there were those speakers somewhere. However, there were none, and Albus began.

" I am honored to hold this beautiful wedding at Hogwarts. Harry and Draco met 7 years ago, at this very own school. As first years, they disliked each other, but when their 5th year rolled around, everything changed. They fell in love. I knew from the beginning, as I watched these two sneak around that their relationship would last. And it has. So, I would like for their wands, and their rings, as we start this long journey of marriage."

 Ron stood up with the box of rings, handing it to the Headmaster, before taking his seat again, but not before winking at Harry. Harry and Draco just stood there, as Albus took their wands, and held them to each other, before returning them to their owners. "Holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, correct?" he questioned Harry, who nodded. "Beechwood and dragon heartstring, nine inches correct?" Draco nodded. "As Godric Gryffindor once said, Love is like a long road; it twists, it winds, but it keeps on going."

Harry and Draco blinked, never hearing that before. A few people snickered, but the wedding managed to continue. Albus stepped aside, as a minister appeared. The vows had begun.

"Is there anyone here that disagrees that these two should be married?" Fred and George Weasley stood up. "We do." Harry turned around, as well as Draco. "And why is that?" Harry asked annoyed. "We always wanted to say that." The twins grinned, until Harry glared at them, as they sat down. "Okay then." The minister mumbled, as he started the vows.

"Draco will you take Harry to be your lawful husband, will you love him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all others keep only unto him so long as you both shall live."

"I will." Came Draco's reply.

"Harry will you take Draco to be your lawful husband, will you love him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all others keep only unto him so long as you both shall live."

"I will." Harry said clearly.

The minister spoke again, this time for the Ring Ceremony.

 "The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows Draco and Harry have made to one another. Bless O God these rings that Harry and Draco, who give them, and who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. It is a seal of the vows Draco and Harry have made to one another. Bless O God these rings that Harry and Draco who give them, and who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love and happiness for the rest of their lives."

"Harry, I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, With this ring, I thee wed." Draco murmured, just loud enough for Harry to hear. The ring was slid on his finger. "Draco I give you this ring as a symbol of our vows, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, With this ring, I thee wed."

"Now, we pray. Father, we thank you for this joyous occasion that we are a part of, and we thank you for bringing these two together, Harry and Draco. We thank you for the chance to celebrate this marriage, and we hope that this couple lives happily ever after. Amen."

" By the power invested in my by the Ministry of Magic, I now pronounce you husband, and well, husband. I am proud to be the first to announce, Misters Harry and Draco Malfoy-Potter." The crowd cheered, as the minister smiled. "Draco, you may now kiss your husband." The two leaned in for a short kiss, and broke apart, smiling.

The music began, and Draco and Harry walked out of the area, to get some wedding pictures taken. Their photographer, Colin Creevy, was setting up, and started to congratulate them.

"Congratulations, Harry, Malfoy." Harry smiled, and then frowned. "Draco." He said calmly, as Harry leaned in and gave Draco a kiss on the side of his mouth, cause Colin to start to take pictures. The receiving line went fast. Draco rolled his eyes, and the families appeared, as they took the annoyingly family pictures. The flower girl and ring bearer pouted, as they were forced to take millions of pictures. The Weasley's appeared in several, and finally the pictures were taken, and Harry and Sirius and Remus sat down for the last pictures, holding hands, talking softly, as Colin snapped away. Severus was pulled in, and the four smiled at the cameras, as Sirius' date, and boyfriend, David, watched. Finally, Draco and David joined in, smiles on their faces as the six men showed off their friendships, and lovers. Sirius and David left, leaving Remus, Severus, Harry and Draco alone. Severus grinned. "Lets go party." So they did. The four walked to the reception, and there, were seated at their seats. Harry and Draco had requested that Remus, his date, and Sirius and his date be seated at their table, as well as Lucius and his date.

The group sat at their table, as people came up, congratulating the couple. Finally, the first dance was ready to begin.

"We would like for the grooms to come to the dance floor for their first dance as husbands." The song Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John began to play, as the couple danced. The guests watched as Draco and Harry blocked everyone else out, until the song ended.

"We would like for Mrs. Molly Weasley to come to the floor, and Draco, if you may.." Draco nodded, and stepped off, allowing Mrs. Weasley to dance. Have I Told You Lately that I Loved You by Rod Stewart came on, and the mother and her adopted son began to dance. The song ended, and there was one more dance, Draco's pick. He invited his mother up, who walked up in her fancy robes, and they began to dance. L.O.V.E. by Nat King Cole came on, as the mother and son danced. The next dances were the dollar dances. The song If I Had a Million Dollars was the first to come on, and the rule was, one Sickle per dance, and the dance was as long as you wanted, with rules of only one dance per sickle, and you were encouraged to dance with both the grooms.

The little flower girl, Holly, appeared, and asked Harry to dance. Harry smiled, and picked the little girl up, as he began to dance with her to I've Finally Found Someone by Bryan Adams. Holly fell asleep on his shoulder, and Harry got off the dance floor to give her to her mother, who thanked him. The DJ made an announcement, the dinner was served. Everyone stepped off the dance floor, and ate their dinners, as they prepared to make toasts for the grooms. The first was Ron Weasley, who had the title of Best Man.

"I have known Harry for 7 years, and for those years, we've been through so much. It saddens me to see that he's gone off and gotten married before I did, but he's my best friend. We've been through so much, that one little wedding will not do anything to our friendship. Draco, I have known the real you for only a couple of years, but I do know that if anyone deserves Harry, it's you. I wish you the best of luck, and Harry, I hope to have some godchildren soon." The crowd laughed, as Hermione Granger stood up. "Harry, Draco, I wish I had time to prepare something, but I didn't get much advance. I really want to congratulate both of you, you really deserve to be happy. Draco, if you hurt my best friend, I will kill you."

Lucius stood, and gave a short toast as well. "How can I ever top a speech like Ron's? Well, I would like to congratulate my sons, and wish them both the best of luck, adding that I would too like some grandchildren soon." Harry rolled his eyes. "We get it." He found himself yelling back to his father-in-law, as they prepared to cut the cake. Harry held the knife, with Draco's hand over his, as they awaited Colin's approval. Colin snapped away, before they took the first slice. Harry smirked, and took a small piece, placing it in his husband's mouth, as Colin continued to snap away. Draco did the same, and the two grinning, as the cake was cut, and passed out. Harry and Draco nestled up against each other, as the guests began to take the dance floor, and the happy couple watched as their friends and families made fools of themselves. Holly had woken up, and came over, pulling on Harry's pant leg. "Yes, Hol?" Harry asked, smiling.

 "Can I have this dance?" So, the three got up, and walked onto the dance floor, as they had as much fun as possible. They decided to put on the chicken dance, so over a hundred people crowded on the dance floor as Holly, Harry and Draco showed everyone the chicken dance, and they attempted to do it. The party began to die down around one in the morning, and the couple was ready to leave for their honeymoon. Fred and George Weasley appeared, with bags that were supposed to have bird seed in them, and Harry and Draco ran to their awaiting carriage, as most of the guests threw the bird seeds, with Fred and George throwing something a little different, Jello. The people laughed, as the happy couple was slammed with Jello. They turned to glare at the twins, who just gave them innocent looks, and off the happy couple went, off to Paris. The carriage took them to their apparating spot, and the couple, with 'just married' signs on their backs, disappeared, off to the City of Love.

Their honeymoon was incredible. They saw the sights, and spent time with each other, with out others to bother them.

A few weeks after they married, Harry accepted the job at Hogwarts, and the two went to their new home.

*~*

As Harry began his first ever class, with the 7th years, Draco entered his classroom, just as the kids were getting settled. Draco walked over to where Harry was, and whispered urgently to him. "We need to talk." Harry froze, not liking the sound of those words, as he led his husband to a back room, after putting a Ravenclaw in charge for a few moments.

"What is it, Drake?" Harry asked softly. "Harry, I went to Madame Pomprey earlier today, and she says I'm three weeks pregnant." Harry brightened up. "Really? Our baby?" Draco smiled. "Our babies." Harry fainted.

*~*

Draco had dismissed the class, after telling them that their Professor didn't feel so good. The class left in a hurry, and Draco went back to the back room, where Harry was awakening. "Draco? Did I hear you right? Did you say babies?" Draco smiled. "Yes, Harry, babies. Twins. Two." Harry gaped at his husband, before running over to him as fast as possible, and placing his hand on his husbands stomach. "I'm going to be a father." He said softly, but proudly. Draco smiled. "We both are." The newlyweds stayed in that back room for what seemed like only minutes to them, but in reality, they were in their for hours.

*~*

Albus Dumbledore sat in his office, as he watched this scene, overjoyed. Few ever knew, but Albus was James' grandfather, and therefore, Harry's great grandfather. Now he would be a great great grandfather. Harry entered his office later that night, and sat down on one of the comfier chairs. Albus looked at the man in front of him, completely free and innocent. "Harry, what can I do for you?"

Harry sighed, as he shifted in the seat. "I want you to tell me everything. I want to know why Voldemort was after my family, why I survived, and why you have the same eyes as my father." Albus found himself sighing as well, as he began the tale. "Years ago, it must have been over 50 years ago, I met this woman. Her name was Leila Potter, she's was incredible. We spent a few years together, when she left me. I later found out that she had gotten pregnant, and didn't want me to know. She gave birth to a son, Daniel. Daniel died when he was 27, but after he died, his wife discovered that she was pregnant as well, and gave birth to James. James had both my bloodline, as well as his grandmothers. He is heir to Gryffindor through her, and Merlin through me. When your father married Lily, he came to me, telling me that he knew that Voldemort was after him. He wanted protection for himself and his wife. So, a little over a year later, Lily gave birth to a baby boy, you. That's why Voldemort is after you. You're the last remaining descendant of Gryffindor and Merlin. How you survived is another tale."

Harry waited, before the old man began to speak again. "When Voldemort came to your house all those years ago, he was after one thing, you. Your father was in the way, so naturally Voldemort murdered him. When he got to you and your mother, your mother placed a rare protection shield on you, one that would only work on Gryffindor and Merlin's heir. James was a descendant, but not an heir. You, are the heir. That is how you survived, and many call it Mother's Love, for the caster had to be someone who would die for you." Harry smiled softly. "So, what about my babies? Are they in danger?" He asked, knowing that Albus somehow already knew.

"We don't know yet, Harry. I wish I could say that they would be fine, but that's something we're not sure of." Harry nodded, accepting that answer. "I'd better get back to my husband. Can I call you Grandfather?" Albus nodded, tears in his eyes. "Thank you." With that, Harry swept out of the room, robes billowing behind him.

*~*

Two months had passed, and Harry was still trying to understand everything that his grandfather told him that day. He hadn't told Draco yet, his hoped he didn't have to. News of Draco's pregnancy had spread rather quickly. Soon most of the wizardry world knew about it. Harry had received many letters, and a few howlers, but as soon as Lucius had heard about the pregnancy, everything was fine.

Draco had owled his father a month after they found out, and instead of a receiving a letter in return, Lucius Malfoy appeared in person, scaring a few of the 1st years. Lucius congratulated the couple, and the next thing they knew, they were being dragged shopping for baby stuff, already.

"C'mon Draco! I want to be the first to spoil my grandchildren!" Harry rolled his eyes, as he followed his father-in-law, and his husband to a spot, where Lucius pulled out a portkey, and the three touched it. Harry felt the familiar pull, as they appeared at the Leaky Cauldron. Tom greeted the three, as they headed into Diagon Alley. Lucius stopped suddenly, and ushered the two into a baby store that Harry never noticed before. Inside were small baby clothes, including little dress robes, black robes, and little muggle outfits. Lucius smiled, as the three looked through them, finding outfits that both boys and girls could wear, since they didn't know what they were having. Once they finished, they bought abut 20 outfits for each kid, and a few toys and other things that the kids would need. Lucius was proud, as he forced Harry and Draco to let him buy everything. You cant argue with a Malfoy.

And so they had reached the three month mark. Harry and Draco were excited, as the day came closer. At three months, Draco hadn't started to show, yet. However, by four months, he had, and by five, he was getting pretty big. Draco had reached eight months, when the baby shower was thrown. Friends and family came, and presents were galore. Harry and Draco received blankets, cribs, diapers, baby swings, and just about everything else, as they opened the presents. They were so thankful that their friends had helped them out with so many things.

The last month was the slowest, as Draco and Harry awaited the due date. April 3rd, 9 months after they got married. Draco awoke with sharp pains around 3 in the morning, and discovered that he was going into labor.

"Wake up lover, it's time." Harry awoke, and helped Draco to the infiminary, where Madame Pomprey was sleeping. Harry gently woke her up, and told her that it was time, and immediately the nurse was up and running. Since Draco was a guy and therefore didn't have a birthing canal, Madame Pomprey gave him a potion to give him those parts he needed, as the contractions started.

"Well, are you two ready?" Madame asked hours later, as Draco winced in pain. Both Harry and Draco looked anxious, nervous, and happy as Madame Pomprey set them up, and Albus appeared, taking a seat.

Harry was trying to calm his lover down as Madame Pomprey instructed him to push. Draco glared at Harry the whole time, as he pushed, squeezing the circulation out of Harry's hand. Harry felt his hand break, as a baby's cry was heard. Professor McGonnagal was there, and began to clean the baby, as Harry watched. "It's a boy." Madame Pomprey said, smiling. Harry sighed in relief, but Draco continued to yell. "There's still another, I hope you know!" Harry let Draco take his hand, and Madame told him to push, and soon, another cry was heard. Harry's eyes were filled with tears, as he looked at the baby. "It's a beautiful, healthy baby girl."Pomprey told them, as the girl was carried off to be cleaned, and the boy was handed to Draco. Albus pulled some papers out of a drawer, and began to write the birth certificates.

"What are the names?" Albus asked softly, as Harry looked proudly at the little boy. "James Albus Malfoy-Potter." Albus smiled proudly. "A fine name, if I may say so myself." Albus remarked, as the little girl was handed to Harry. "and the girl?" Draco spoke this time. "Haley Lillan Malfoy-Potter." Harry smiled, as he touched the child's face. She was angelic. A real live doll. The baby began to cry, and Harry, alarmed, almost dropped her, as her brother started to cry as well. Madame Pomprey handed them bottles that she made, and Harry fed Haley, while Draco fed James.

Harry looked at both of the babies, studying their features. Haley seemed to have Draco's hair and Harry's Emerald eyes. James had Harry's hair, but Draco's eyes. Haley's cheekbones were definitely from Draco, as well as her pale skin. James seemed to be a little darker, although how, he wasn't sure. He had a bit of a tan.

"This...is amazing." Harry said, as he watched his daughter and son eat. Draco smiled in agreement. "That it is, Har. That it is." Harry placed Haley in Albus's arms, smiled in thanks, and took James from Draco, cuddling the little boy.

"So, Grandpa, what do you think? Do they pass the test?' Albus laughed, and nodded. The two stood, Albus slowly as to not drop the baby, and walked out to the waiting room, leaving Draco to rest. Lucius was there, waiting patiently, as well as a bunch of others. Harry smiled at his father-in-law, and handed over James, as everyone crowded around.

"I would like to introduce to you James Albus Malfoy-Potter and Haley Lillian Malfoy-Potter." Everyone cheered as they peeked at the babies. Holly walked up with her daddy, and Harry bent down to pick her up.

"Hol, I want you to meet your cousins. James and Haley. Their still young, but when they get older, you can play with them." Holly smiled. "Can I hold them?" Harry looked at her innocent 4-year-old self, and nodded. He took Haley from Albus, who was getting tired, and placed her gently into Holly's arms. Holly looked down at the baby, as Bill came up behind him, and hugged him. "Congratulations, bro." Harry smiled in return. "Thank you." Family and Friends watched the kids for hours, as they slept, and ate. Harry left the babies with Bill and Charlie, who were begging to hold them, and walked back into the room, and pulled his lover's hair from his face. "Thank you, Drake." He said softly, as the tired man slept. "Thank you." And with that, He fell asleep himself, dreaming of wonderful times with his new family.

A year later, and another celebration had arose. It was the twins first birthday, and a fun time for everyone. Harry had organized a huge bash, including a cake with Barney on it, stacks of presents, and several things for everyone to do. Harry watched as friends and family kissed the poor children, and decided to rescue his one-year-olds from Draco's odd cousin, Mulley. He picked up the babies, and smiled innocently at Mulley. "Sorry, but they looked tired." A few people around Harry snickered, seeing as how the babies were happy. Harry carried them back to where he was sitting with Sirius, Remus, Bill, Charlie, Lucius, and the other Weasley's, with Hermione and himself talking about pregnancies, seeing as how Hermione was two months pregnant, with Ron's baby. Severus took Haley from Harry, and began to play with the little baby. Haley giggled. Haley played with her Uncle Sev- which was to Severus' dislike the name that Haley would call him- and Remus played with little James. Harry recalled the day he had picked the twins godparents.

Harry was watching as Draco tossed the poor two-month-old James in the air, and shaking his head as James wore a smile, or was that gas? He shrugged it off, as he looked at his godfather.

"I need to choose godparents, but how? I have so many close friends, and only two babies." Sirius laughed. "Well, Lucius is a grandfather, Albus is a grandfather, I'm a great-godfather, or grandfather if you prefer, so how about Remus, and Severus for one, and Ron and Hermione for the other?" Harry smiled at that decision. "I like it. They are close enough that should anything happen, the twins wont really be separated." So, Harry fire-called Remus and Ron, who brought their partners along.

"I was thinking about godparents for the twins, and Sirius helped me to decide. Ron and Hermione, should anything happen to me and Draco, would you take Haley and raise her?" Ron and Hermione smiled at their friend. "We would love to." "Remus and Severus, if anything was to happen to myself or Draco, could you take James and raise him?" Remus looked alarmed.

"Harry, I'm a werewolf. Werewolves can't have kids." Remus whispered to his best friend's son. "They can now." Harry revealed a slip of paper written by the minister of Magic, Mr. Arnold Weasley, and showed it to his friend. Remus smiled. "Thank you, Harry." We will." And with that, James and Haley had godparents, well, Haley had godparents, and James had godfathers. Harry smiled gently at his friends, as they played with the little ones.

Harry snapped out of it as Draco poked him in the ribs. "Let's cut the cake, shall we?"  The proud parents cut the cake, handing out slices to anyone who wanted one. Finally, they settled down next to their kids, and fed them small pieces, laughing as James eagerly wanted more, and Haley decided she didn't like it. The party ended once all 47 gifts were unwrapped, and thanks were sent to everyone. The last people left, leaving Lucius, Charlie, Bill and a few others to clean up, as the birthday kids were dressed in clean clothes, and took their naps. The close friends gathered around the large table, talking excitedly about what was to come, and hoping for the best.

Two years later, Harry discovered that he was pregnant, this time. He gave birth to a healthy baby boy, who was named Tyler Perry Malfoy-Potter. Tyler was an adorable baby, with blonde hair and blue eyes. This was the last biological child for the Malfoy-Potter family. Nearly five years later, Harry and Draco adopted a little Korean girl, and named her Anna Elizabeth. She was two at the time, and a complete angel.

Harry sat at the nearest muggle pizza place with his nearly eight year old twins, his almost five year old son Ty, and his youngest, two year old Anna. The family was adorable, and everyone who passed commented on how cute they were. Harry and Draco would thank them, and pose for pictures for some people who recognized Harry from his series, Harry Potter. Harry would occasionally sign autographs, and lied that he was not a wizard, but an attorney. Well, that wasn't too far from the truth. Harry was a magical lawyer, and Draco, a stay-at-home dad, who didn't want to do anything else but be with his kids. As James and Haley reached for some pizza, Draco tore up some pieces for Anna, and got Ty a piece of the cheese pizza he loved so much. Harry sat with his family that he loved so much, wishing that this family he had would never change.

Tyler smiled up at his father, and looked over at his papa. "Papa Harry?" Tyler asked softly. Harry looked over at him. "I love you." Harry returned the gesture, with a kiss on the forehead, and a gentle hug. That night at their Manor, where several of their friends stayed. Harry put Tyler on his bed, and tucked him in, as Draco appeared, and kissed him. With Anna in their arms, they went to her room, and set her on her bed, kissing her as well. Finally, they stopped at the connecting twin rooms, and discovered that their kids weren't there. Frantic, Harry rushed out of the rooms, and to Charlie and Lucius' room, where the newlywed couple opened up, half asleep. "The twins, they weren't in their rooms." Lucius dressed quickly, and kissed his lover, as he ran off.

Just as they knocked on Sirius' door, Sirius appeared holding the missing kids hands. "Missing anyone?" Sirius asked teasing, as the eldest Malfoy-Potter's smiled innocently. "Oh my gosh, don't ever scare me like that again." Harry said, as he collected the two kids, and hugged them. "Don't you ever do that to me or your father again, you understand?" The twins nodded. "Yes, papa." The three hugged, and Harry thanked Sirius, as they left for their rooms, leaving Lucius with Charlie. As the family reunited, Harry and Draco swore to always protect their children, and they have.

A/n: well, there's a short epilogue left, and then that's it. I'm hoping to have it posted soon, so keep your fingers crossed that I get around to it. Bye! The epilogue will sum everything up, and will bring it to a close, so I am sorry, but I wont be making a sequel! Sorry if there's anything misspelled, I didn't have a chance to really look through this.
