The healer took them down a hallway into a small room with a cot and a chair. There was also a small stand with a bowl on top. Neither Harry nor Ron paid any attention to it. The healer was doing normal proceger: Made sure Harry didn't have any potions before hand, temperature, and any sicknesses.

"Alright Mr. Weasley. Your okay for a full check up on you and your baby." The man said and left the room saying, "The Healer will be in with you soon."

"You okay Harry?"

"I'm fine. It's just so weird ya know? I'm gonna be a mom and a dad? What will the baby call me?"

"We'll work on that later Mr. Wesley. Right now though we need to take a sonogram." A female Healer walked in and stood in front of both of them.

"You must be Dr. Sheryl Nowise." Ron said holding Harry's hand.

"Yes. Now Harry I need to see how many babies you have inside your womb. So will you be so kind to take you shirt off and layback? Up here on the wall is a type of screen. When I rub this potion on your lower stomach it will show inside the womb. We'll be able to see how many children your having." She told them.

"You mean they're already developing? Most women can't get a sonogram done till their four months!" Harry exclaimed.

"Yes, but as you said, that's a woman. See male pregnancies are different. They take longer to be birthed, but they develop their bodies faster. Well, in the beginning. We'll be able to see bodies now, but after that it's a very slow process. The pregnancy will take about eleven months." She explained.

"No sex for eleven months!" Now it was Ron's turn. "I'm already suffering from withdrawal." He moaned.

Harry laughed at his lover. Then as instructed took off his shirt and lay down on the cot. She rubbed a warm lotion on first. It wasn't till she put on the potion did he realize why. It was so cold! Harry shivered.

"I know. When I had my first sonogram I nearly screamed. The Healer didn't warn me. I never forgave her." She kept rubbing the potion on him and he looked at the screen. "Oh, my! My, my, my. Well, Harry, Ron. You are the happy parents of four children."

"FOUR!" They said together. Ron added to this. "You mean we are have four kids. Whoa. Hey, Draco's gonna be happy about this. Guess we get the house."

"Yeah. Guess we do." Harry was stunned. Four kids? He was scared, but overjoyed at the same time. He was going to be a daddy. He was going to be a parent.

"Now the sexes look to be two girls and two boys. Hmm, pretty even. How about that?" She said smiling at them.

After that she explained that in the eleven moths there was to be no sex what so ever. Also that Harry was to take paternity leave at work after one month. She said the reason was that he would get very moody and unable to concentrate with the hassle. It would just help to keep the stress level down and that would be good for the babies' health. Ron was also to take leave. She went on to explain that if anything happened and no one was there all the babies and Harry could die so someone always had to be with or near Harry at all times.

Now they were walking out into the waiting room again and stopped.

"Hey, Ron, Can we wait for Draco and Johnny. Tell them the good news first?" Harry asked standing in front of him.

"Sure."

They didn't have to wait long.

"Harry! You won't believe it!" Draco was running up to him, bouncing on the balls of his feet. "I'm having twins! Two girls! I can't wait eleven months! I want to see my baby girls now!"

"You're lucky," Ron said smiling at them. "We're having quadruplets. Two boys and two girls."

"Really now?" Johnny put a hand on Draco's shoulder to try and stop him bouncing.

"YES!!! I get to buy you that house I've been trying to give you. Four? Well, then I'll just buy you a nice big house in the country. Somewhere outside of Hogsmead." Draco said looking as if he was concentrating really hard.

"So are you coming over tonight?" Harry asked.

"Yes we'll be over. You said pizza right?"

"Yes Johnny. We're having you're stupid Muggle food." Draco said kissing him.

"Oh, shut up. When I was three I practically lived on pizza. I love it. Now Harry, when do you want us there?"

"How about seven? We have some shopping to do. Shut up Ron! Then we have to clean the Flat. It's not at it's best at the moment." Harry said glaring at Ron who groaned at the word 'shopping'.

"Do I have to go? I know you need some new clothes, but do you really need me there? You're almost as bad as Hermione when it come to clothes shopping." He groaned again as Harry smiled and nodded.

"You think you got it bad! Draco here can't stand it when he goes shopping alone. He can never tell if he 'has a nice looking ass or not'." Johnny rolled his eyes at the last part.

They said their goodbyes then Ron and Harry walked back into Muggle London to shop. Harry held onto Ron's hand even though they were in public. Ron gave glares to anyone who looked or said anything obvensive to or about them. Harry dragged him from store to store looking and buying clothes. Harry became very annoying. He wouldn't stop going on about how much weight he would gain when the children were almost ready to be born. Ron tried to tell him again that the weight would go back to normal after birth, but, Harry being Harry, wouldn't listen. They were now at their flat cleaning up the clothes that were splayed across the floor.

"I'm going to have enlarge all my clothes." Harry said in frustration. "Will you still love me, Ron? When I get fat?" Harry looked at him; his emerald eyes shining.

Ron walked over to him as Harry stood up and hugged him his hand finding it's way to Harry's jet-black hair. "Of course I will. You'll still be my angel no matter how big you get. You. Are. P-R-G-N-A-N-T. As in having children. Four to be exact. Now stop that." Ron kissed him to prove his point.

"Ya know, Draco said something like that onc..." Harry trailed off. His eyes glazed over and it looked as if the light in Harry's eyes dimmed.

"Harry? Harry wake up. It's Ron. Harry it's okay." Ron shook Harry lightly. This never happened before. He got closer to Harry and realized that he was the only thing holding him up. He put him on the bed. "Harry? Harry can you hear me?" When he looked in Harry's eyes again it looked as though the light dimmed more. "Draco." He whispered.

Ron did nothing but ran to the living room and through in floo powder. He stuck his head in and screamed "The main living room, Malfoy Manner!" Soon he was looking in Draco's well furnished home. He looked around and didn't see even a house elf. "Draco! Can you hear me? Draco Lucius Malfoy!"

"What the hell! Ron! What in Merlin are you screaming about? Why didn't you just try... Ron what's wrong?" Draco kneeled in front of his fireplace.

"It's Harry. He said something about you saying something like what I just said and he went quite. It looked as if the light in his eyes was dimming. He collapsed and..."

"Go to him right now. Make sure the light didn't go out. Now! I'll be over in a sec."

Ron popped his head out of the fireplace and ran back to Harry. Again it looked as if his light had dimmed. Not two seconds later Draco came in and sat down on the other side of Harry.

"Harry? Harry, come back to us. Come back to Ron and me. Don't let the memories haunt you. It's all over now. Don't make me do this. Harry, please? Come on Harry, it over. You're married and you're going to have children." Nothing. "Ron, can you please step out of the room?"

"What wrong with him, Draco? What happened?" Ron was pale and has been ever since he saw the look of horror on Draco's face when he saw Harry.

"Ron, please leave the room. Don't come in till I come get you. No matter what you hear don't come in. Do you understand?" Draco looked worried sick and he wanted to stay by Harry's side, but he nodded his head and walked out of the room and closed the door.

As soon as he closed the door he heard a loud slap come from inside. He pressed his ear against the door. He heard the slap again. He was about to open the door and ask what the hell was Draco doing to his husband, but then stopped. He heard Harry cry out.

"Draco!"

"Shhh, I'm here, Harry. Don't cry. It's all over." He heard Draco say.

22222Inside the room.

"Draco!" Harry cried out. Memories came back to him. Ones he thought were lost forever. When he remembered what Draco said a week before they went to battle Voldemort he went back. He was so lost in his memories. He was stuck and the memories were going to kill him. He needed Draco. Draco saw everything that happened that night. He needed him so much.

"Shhh, I'm here, Harry. Don't cry. It all over." He felt arms wrap around his waist.

"Draco." He whispered tears were running down his face.

"Memories can kill. Don't let them kill you Harry. We need you. What set you off?" Draco slid behind Harry on the bed. Harry turned around as Draco gently pushed his head onto his chest. They just laid there like they used to in school when they had nightmares of the war.

"Ron told me that I would always be his angel no matter how big I get. Almost like what you said before we went into battle." Harry Whispered.

"You'll always be my angel. No matter what happens, Harry you will always be my angel." Draco said as he leaned against the frame of the open window.

"Will you please get yourself back over here? I'm keep thinking your gonna fall." Harry was sitting in an armchair by the fire in their secret room.

Draco walked over to Harry and bent down. "I'm not joking, Harry. You've been my angel. If you hadn't of saved Pansy from that no good rapist I wouldn't have been able to tell you about my dad. I would have never have gotten the guts to turn him in. Not like that did much good. Voldemort just broke them free, but still. If I hadn't of seen you save someone that has been nothing but nasty to you from day one then I never wouldn't of made any real friends. You save me from my hell. You took me in and gave me a hand that was never offered to me before. For that I love you, Harry. With all my heart."

"I'm with Ron. I can't..."

"Hush, Harry I know. I just need you to know that. Stay with Ron. I want you to, but I need you to know that because you're gonna need me Harry. You're gonna need me for the nightmares, and the memories. I need you to know that I will be more than willing to help you. I'll move on, so don't worry about me." Draco sat himself on Harry's lap. "I'll be here to give you the love and comfort that Ron won't be able to give you because he won't understand. I know for a fact that you'll do anything to protect him when the battle finally breaks through, but I'll be there. I'll kill my father if it's the last thing I do. That means I'll be by your side. My father will do anything to see the Dark Lord rise above. I'll stop him as you finish him." He put his arms around Harry's neck.

"Draco... who will be there for you?"

"I'll be alright. It's you who will be missed the most. I made a promise to myself. I promised to never let the light in your eyes go out."

"Then I promise that I'll never will let yours go out either." Harry said as he put his forehead to Draco's. Their tears intermingled as the fell to their clothing.

"I don't have a light in my eyes. They went out a long time ago." In his mind he said, 'They went out when I learned that you and Ron were a happy couple.'

"I did say something like that didn't I?" Draco kissed Harry's hair. "That was many years ago, Harry. You should have forgotten that." He felt Harry take his hand.

"Do you still feel that way? Do you still love me?" 'Why, Harry? Why did you have to ask me that?' Draco thought while running his fingers through Harry's hair.

"Yes, but I also love Johnny. I need to be with him. My love for you isn't as strong as it was before, but it still ligers and aches. I'll be all right. Johnny will be there to wipe my tears and I'll learn to love him more. I'll always love you in one way or another, but that way will whither and die like the roses that are un-charmed. I guess all love is like that. At least in some." Draco said thoughtfully.

They lay like that for a while not knowing what was going through Ron's mind when he heard that Draco loved Harry.

000000000000000

Ron through himself on the couch in frustration.

'Well that sure explains a lot!' He thought to himself. 'No wonder he's always trying to be near Harry: Throwing birthday parties, dancing with him at balls they attended. Things like that. But then again, Draco always supported Harry and my relationship. He even talked Harry into forgiving me when we had a major fight. Harry moved out and everything and he made Harry come back to me. He told Harry that if we didn't get back together that he would never forgive Harry for my heartache. I'm definably going to ask Draco about this later.' He looked up and saw Draco walking up to him. 'Or maybe now.'
