What He's Always Needed


Chapter 4


When everything was set and ready for Harry all three men were giddy with excitement for the young man they all loved. Fafner snorted and went into the bedroom to wake Harry up.


Fafner jumped up lightly onto the bed and with the tip of his tail tickled Harry's nose. When Harry finally opened his eyes and figured out what was going on he half-glared at the mini-dragon for waking him that way.


"All-right Fafner I'm up. I'm up." Harry said groggily. Harry stretched carefully as to not hurt himself, then rolled out of bed. Harry went and quickly showered vaguely wondering where Draco was, it was awfully early for him to be up on a non-school day. Shrugging it off Harry made his way into the common room only to find Draco, Sirius and Remus grinning like loons and Fafner jumping around like a deranged kangaroo. Harry froze in his tracks when he noticed a clear set of French doors with everything he and Draco had discussed about his would-be-garden. Harry burst into a grin as he went over to Draco and Sirius and Remus and hugged them all with tears of joy in his eyes. 'Damned hormones' he thought to himself.


"I can't believe you guys did all this for me, thank you so much, it means so much to me" Harry beamed at all three of the men he loved and held close to his heart. He then turned away and started planning out how he wanted everything laid out and went outside on the balcony to inspect everything that was there. All three of the other men simply grinned at the pregnant teen and waited for him to tell them where he wanted the heavy stuff. "Why don't we have breakfast while I plan where I want everything, is that okay?" All three nodded and obediently sat at the table and all began eating.


When breakfast was over Harry rolled up his sleeves and began telling the men where he wanted things. He beamed when everything was in place just how he'd wanted it. Most of the plants were seedlings so he'd have to spend a lot of time out here in the garden. Some, he'd decided, he would spend with Draco in his garden. Stepping back to appreciate his work and the hard labor the three men had done for him, he smiled brightly when all three beamed back at him. Draco he thought, looked quite handsome with a little smudge of dirt on the bridge of his nose and giggled. No one mentioned to Draco about the dirt but Sirius and Remus knew it was there and didn't say a word to the vain Slytherin.


Harry had gone to rest after the exciting morning. He wasn't really tired, but Poppy's words as well as Herman's always haunted him, if he took it easy now, it'd be easier for him later. Harry was laying on the couch in a light doze while Draco was reading quietly with Harry's head in his lap. Sirius and Remus had left to go do some shopping.


Later that afternoon found Harry showing off his prized garden to Professor Sprout who'd commended him on a job well done.


Over the following weeks Harry spent many hours in his garden. Draco was happy about it as well, It gave Harry his time alone but Draco could still see and watch him through the French doors that led out to the balcony. Harry didn't mind being watch by Draco, he understood the part-Veela's need to keep an eye on his pregnant mate, he was glad that Draco was giving him his space to work in the garden for hours at a time.


Harry was due around Valentine's day. Draco had giggled when he'd found out about that one. "What better show of love then birthing the children we made from love" Draco had said and Harry being Harry rolled his eyes at the statement but inside he'd felt the same way.


Fafner had caused mischief every chance he got, to include Harry on his mild pranks, Harry would wake with strangely colored hair, or his robes would be changed to all sorts of colors. Draco would laugh Harry would glare, and Fafner would 'harumph' as best as the pseudo dragon could. Carrie, the nursemaid stayed quietly in the background of all the actions, smiles playing on her face daily. Draco was comforted by the fact that the nurse was there constantly for his bonded.


Sirius and Remus didn't dare play any pranks on their godson, for fear that Draco and/or Fafner would have them strung up, instead they just laughed when Fafner did something to him. The morning he'd woken up with electric pink hair and nails that he couldn't get changed back had found it hard for the last two marauders to stop giggling anytime soon. Even today two months into the term and five months into the pregnancy, whenever they thought about that day and Harry blushing with embarrassment only making the pink hair even more noticeable.


The pregnancy was progressing along very well. Harry still rested quite a bit and studied hard. His grades were even better than Hermione's. The rate Harry was progressing with his studies He'd be ready for his N.E.W.T.'s just before the babies were due. The babies kicked him almost constantly, if they both weren't awake only one slept. They could tell when Draco was near, you could see little bulges where they would reach out to him either with hands or feet you couldn't really tell. Draco would grin and Harry would shake his head. Draco would always rest his hand on Harry's belly to keep them calmed down so he could study, it was awkward but they managed it Harry got his studying done and Draco got to touch and hold Harry and his babies.


The only real thing they had done with each other is mutual masturbation, Draco was absolutely terrified that he would hurt Harry or his children, even though Carrie, Poppy and Herman all reassured him it was fine until Harry said he wasn't comfortable anymore, but Draco heard nothing of that, they cuddled every night and would masturbate each other once or twice a week, but were sexually satisfied but Harry kept getting weird fluttery feelings because of the babies rocking around in him in the aftermath of his orgasms.


Christmas came around lightning quick and Harry and Draco got tons of furniture for the babies. Draco's parents came and spent the Christmas holiday's with Harry and Draco and Fafner. It had been way too risky to try and floo Harry over to the manor in his condition. Harry was now on limited bed rest which meant if he wasn't in his garden, using the loo or eating, he was supposed to be laying down. Draco had transfigured one of the couches into the overly large chaise lounge again and left it that way. That was Harry's bed away from his bed. He was allowed to spend an hour and a half in thirty minute intervals in his garden which was now charmed to remain warm in the harsh Scottish winter.


Harry felt guilty for laying down for most of his 'in-law's' visit however Narcissa sat next to him grabbed his hand and reassured him it was fine, they'd rather have him laying down than to endanger not only himself but the lives of his and Draco's unborn babies.


Christmas shopping for Harry was not going to happen so he's gotten a bunch of mail order catalog's both muggle, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Granger via Hermione, and wizarding, thanks to Dumbledore. Harry and Carrie had gone into her room midway through November so Harry could order everything he wanted for everyone he was buying gifts for. Carrie smiled and giggled at all the things he'd bought. She hadn't known but he'd already asked Sirius to pick up a gift for her as well since she'd turned into such a good friend to him and Draco.


Christmas morning brought snow Harry smiled at it and went to take a nice warm shower before digging into gifts. Draco joined him in the shower when he was halfway through. Draco stepped up behind Harry and wrapped his arms around the expanding waist and belly of his bonded. Harry automatically leaned back into the embrace. Draco loved how Harry reacted to him now, everything was automatic. Since he'd given Harry the garden, they'd fought very little. They still fought occasionally, no relationship is perfect, but those were very rare. Both Harry and Draco were looking forward to the birth of their babies.


After their shower Harry and Draco went out to the sitting room where everyone already was. Harry automatically went to his lounge and laid down. Sirius, Remus, Lucius, Narcissa and Carrie were waiting patiently for the boys, although they hadn't waited too long, only roughly five minutes. After Draco got Harry settled on the middle of the chaise with Draco sitting beside him in case he needed anything. Sirius started handing out presents. Harry received many things that year, more than he normally received. From Lucius and Narcissa he and Draco got a joint gift. A house of their own on the other side of the Malfoy Estates. Harry's eyes widened at this, he sputtered before he could properly get a thank you out to them. Draco smiled and kissed his mother's cheek and nodded at his father. Harry didn't know anything about the house, but Draco had seen it before and knew it was coming as a present, he began to tell Harry all about the house.


"It's a Victorian style home, it currently has five bedrooms, six baths, library, study, of course it has a kitchen, dining room, sitting room, living room. It's roughly thirty-five hundred square feet but can be magically enlarged if need be. The Malfoy Estates themselves are roughly three hundred acres, so we will be a god distance away from my parents. The house is fully furnished, and comes with two house-elves. One of them will more than likely leave back to the Manor when Dobby comes though, it's really nice, after we graduate you can see everything properly." Draco was excited only because Harry was. He smiled as Harry's mouth dropped at the description of the house. To him it wasn't much of a house, compared to what he'd grown up in. But if it made Harry happy, he was happy. By the description Harry could tell that the house was twice the size of the Dursley home.


"There are obviously stairs in it" Harry thought out loud. Harry closed his eyes and tried to block out memories of his cupboard. Draco and Sirius and Remus caught on immediately as to what was troubling Harry. Sirius and Remus moved over to the lounge and sat opposite of Draco.


"You won't do that to them Bambi, we know you wont, and they won't be there to do that to you or the babies." Sirius looked over his godson, hoping and praying he was right. Harry was a kind and gentle person, but he could be trouble when brazed off. But, also knowing you only know how you're raised, it worried him. Sirius cupped Harry's chin in his hand and forced the near to tears teen to look him in the eyes. "You won't do that to them, you're better than the muggles Harry you know that. Draco will help you with that as well, it will be fine." Sirius said with conviction, he knew the Veela wouldn't let anyone hurt his children.


"Harry, they are open stairways, there are no cupboards under them." Draco said softly trying to calm his upset lover. Harry looked over and gave Draco a watery smile.


Lucius and Narcissa watched all of this unfold unbelievingly. The rumors it appeared were true. He had been raised in a closet. Lucius silently plotted a midnight trip to London to pay a visit to some muggles, maybe he'd ask Sirius and Remus to join him. 'Yes' thought Lucius to himself 'I'll ask them, I'm sure they'd like to get some revenge as well'
