No matter what

The moment Harry walked through the door, he knew something wasn't quite right.

Everything still looked the same, granted, the wallpaper, the carpet, even all the furniture was still where it had been that morning when he had left to take care of some very important business.

But, coming back into the house, he felt something different. And he wasn't altogether sure it was a good different.

Not bothering to hang up his leather jacked he carefully walked into the living room, which was empty.

He tried the kitchen after that.

Empty.

Then, just as he was turning around, he heard a small noise coming from the bedroom.

Crossing to the bedroom's door, the noise repeated itself. Harry tried to remember what the sound was.

When he reached the door, he knew. Sobbing. The sound was someone sobbing.

When he came to the door, he softly pushed it open. And for a second didn't know if his eyes were deceiving him.

There, on the bed, was his lover of 5 years, Draco Malfoy, in his boxers, wearing an obviously oversized t-shirt with a pillow underneath it. His eyes were red and puffy from crying.

He looked up at the sound of Harry crossing the room to get to him and sniffed.

"Draco? What's wrong?", Harry asked him, sitting down next to him on the bed and wrapping his arm around Draco's shoulders.

"I'm going to be fat!!", Draco said, wincing when his voice sounded whiny.

Harry shook his head. "No, you won't be fat. Our baby will be growing inside you. You'll be beautiful."

Big watery grey eyes searched Harry's face. "Do…..hic …… do you mean it?"

Harry nodded. "In fact, I'm hoping that what I went to get today will convince you."

When Draco started to get up to remove the pillow, Harry stayed his hand. "Don't. Just leave it for a while longer, ok?"

Although Draco was now starting to get uncomfortable and feeling rather silly of letting his emotions get away with him on the subject, he nodded.

Harry got up from the bed, took off his leather jacket and put it down on the bed after taking something out of one of its pockets. He looked at Draco again, who gasped at the warmth shining in those eyes. Harry slowly walked towards him and stood in front of him.

Then, to the utter astonishment of Draco, he sank down on one knee. He fumbled with a black box in his hand and finally managed to open it. He turned the box around, took one of Draco's hands in his and offered him the box.

"Draco, will you marry me? I'll marry you today, tomorrow or 5 months from today."

That last statement shook Draco out of the shock he'd been in.

"But, in 5 months I'll be big with the baby!"

"So?", Harry asked, squeezing his hand.

"And my face will go all puffy!"

Harry raised his eyebrow.

"Well……… it could!" Draco sounded defensive.

Harry just shook his head.

"I'll go all moody on you……and eat strange things." Draco's lower lip started to slowly tremble.

"Why would you want to marry me then?"

"Because I love you no matter what."
