Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. As much as I wish I did, I'd probably make people mad at me by not writing quick enough.

Warnings: Slash. M-preg. R.

Authors Note: Hello! I'm back! I'm sorry it took so long, but schools killing me. (On the bright side, my GPA is a 3.7) Yay! Anyway, I tried making this chapter a little longer, didn't work as well as I hoped. But...I don't think I'll be able to write chapters for this story that are any longer than this one. Sorry. This hasn't been my best work. There are even points I think are boring. The point is, I finally finished a chapter and I hope you enjoy it! Read and Review!

(P.S. I have no time to write individually to reviewers today, so hopefully next time I'll have them, and they'll be at the bottom of the page.)

Chapter 3 – Who's the father?

Harry yawned, stretched, and blearily blinked his eyes open. He was surrounded by lots of white and a too sterile to be healthy smell.

"Andrew! Where's Andrew?!" Harry said sitting up quickly.

"Calm down Harry. He's right here," Remus said handing him the sleeping infant. Harry cuddled him to his chest as a few relieved tears fell from his eyes.

"Thank god," He said in reverence.

"Would you be willing to tell me what happened and how exactly you hid something like pregnancy from us?" Remus asked quietly.

"I suppose that would be fair," Harry said hugging his baby closer. "Andrew was a little premature. He wasn't due until September. I was planning on telling you guys before I had to give birth."

"Why didn't you tell us before Harry?" Remus said gently.

"I...didn't want you guys to know. I thought I could handle it by myself since I was the one who got myself into it. I thought I should be the only one who had to worry about it," Harry said sounding defensive.

"Harry this was not all your fault. I doubt anyone even told you wizards could conceive. And even if someone has, it was a mistake yes, but not something we can't work with," Remus said.

Harry said nothing.

"Why didn't you say anything about how your uncle truly treats you either?" Remus added.

"The same reasons I guess," Harry said.

"That wasn't your fault either Harry. It was the Order's fault for not seeing what kind of person you Uncle was," Remus said.

Harry shook his head. "I may not have liked how my 'Uncle' acted towards me, but I was too weak to stop him. And I'm supposed to be the savior of the wizarding world."

"You may have been proclaimed a savior, but that doesn't make you any less human. Harry, if you're going to get one thing out of what I'm trying to say, I want you to know that abuse is never the abused fault," Remus said.

"I don't think we're going to agree on this," Harry admitted with a sigh. "I'm a single fathered whore, who go what he deserved. What more is there to say?"

"You are not a whore! Harry, who is Andrew's father? If I find out it was him who put these ridiculous ideas in your head I'll kill him!"

"No! Their not stupid! It's all true!" Harry yelled as some stray tears fell from his eyes. Andrew wiggled and almost immediately began screaming. Harry looked sheepish. "I'm sorry Andy," he said as he rubbed soothing circles on his sons back. "I'm not even capable of yelling right," Harry muttered.

Not having any better idea of what to do, Remus embraced Harry carefully. "I love you Harry, like the nephew I never had. It hurts me to see you thinking so low of yourself. You're a wonderful person who made a mistake. And as far as I'm concerned, Dursley was at fault for hurting you. It should have happened to you. I'm just sorry we hadn't realized what was going on earlier," Remus said.

Harry said nothing for a while and rocked a now just whimpering Andrew back and forth. "Thanks Remus. It's...nice to know that someone thinks I'm worth something."

"You wouldn't believe how many people think you're worth something. And not just for being Harry Potter and having a scar. There are so many people who love you because you're you," Remus said.

Harry gave him a half smile. "If you say so."

"I do Harry. I...have to ask again..." Remus said carefully.

Harry looked at him calculatingly. So far he'd gone through a variety of moods in a short amount of time. Remus had only been trying to help, albeit late, but it was an attempt none the less. "Yes?" Harry said after a long pause, signaling to Remus that it would be okay to ask his next question.

"Harry...who's Andrew's father?" Remus asked. He had expected a reaction, but not quite the one he gave. Harry's eyes darkened and his face showed anger, hurt, and sadness. I was a while before he said anything.

"Remus I can't tell you right now," Harry said swallowing back the tears of anguish he desperately wanted to release. "Andy's father should be the first to know...and he should hear it from me."

Remus nodded. "I'll be patient. Until then, however, you should be resting."

"'Until then'? What do you mean 'until then'? How long do I really have to sit here?" Harry asked.

"A few days. By then the potions Madame Pomfrey gave you should have started taking effect," Remus said.

"Okay," Harry said and settled back to a long day.

--

It was midnight, and Harry lay awake deep in thought. Mostly thinking about Andrews father.

'I wonder what he's doing right now...making some potion or another no doubt.' Harry sighed. As he fell asleep, a name drifted across his mind.

'Severus.'

--

Severus Snape paced back and forth across his large study in Snape Manor. Dumbledore had sent an owl to every member of the staff that was part of the order. It had informed him that Potter's safety at his relatives had become an issue and he'd been relocated to Hogwarts. Not only that, but Potter also had a child.

'Could this child of Potter's possibly be mine?' Severus asked himself. A moment later he was apparating to Hogsmeade. He would find out for himself momentarily.

A/N: Yes, I'm cruel to leave you there, but...I had to post something! There'll be more sometime sooner than this last post I hope. I'm trying. Anyhow, you can expect to find out what Remus actually did to the Dursley's for what they did to Harry, and see what Snape's reaction to Harry and baby Andrew is. Until then, see ya!

REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!
