%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

"Ron I know you heard so just ask the damn question." Draco walked up to the couch, kicked off his shoes, and sat on the couch Indian style.

"What kind of relationship do you have with my husband?" Ron didn't dare look at him. All the anger he had before Draco came clean started to come back by ten fold.

"It's completely platonic, Ron. I want nothing from your husband but friendship and for him to be happy." Draco looked down at the carpet.

"With you maybe." Ron looked at Draco with hatred.

"Ron, have I ever tried to take him away from you? Ron, I have always supported your relationship with him! I was there for you when He took off to Hermione's because he thought you were seeing another man! I knew you weren't so I protected you instead! Remember that? He realized in two days, two days, Ron, that he made a mistake. Yeah I might have had a few weak tries, but do you want to know what happened? Even though I might of loved him better he chose you. I didn't give up after you two got married either. I didn't know you as well as I do know and I was absolutely terrified that you would hurt him!" Draco now was standing. "I still love him yes, but I'm getting over it! If you didn't see this morning I was with a lovely man at the hospital because I'm pregnant with his children! I'm in love with him now and if you can't take the fact that yes I was and will always be in love with Harry than you can shove it up your ass because I'll always be Harry's friend and I'll always, always Ronald Wesley, look after him and make sure he is Happy! I know about the Dursley's and how horrible they treated him! I know what happened during the war! Sometimes I'm going to be the only one who can comfort him!" He was now crying. Tears were slowly rolling down his face. "He may tell you someday, but I doubt it. He was...so close... to dieing..." Draco finally collapsed and Ron caught him. Even thought Draco had his head pressed against Ron's chest Ron heard these words, "My father. I killed my own father." Draco held on to Ron for dear life.

"Hush Draco, it's okay." Draco was sobbing into his chest and he didn't know what to do. He picked him up and carried him into his and Harry's room. Harry looked up from where he was laying.

"What wrong? Is he okay?" Harry scooted over to where Ron put Draco on their bed.

"We had a fight, but he told me he killed his own father. Is it true, Harry?" Harry nodded.

"I'll tell you sometime." Harry mouthed. He leaned down and pulled Draco into his arms and cradled him. Harry motioned for Ron to sit next to him. Ron put his back against the headboard and pulled them next to him. Harry leaned his head on Ron's shoulder while Ron took Draco's hand in his and rested his head on Harry's. They stayed like that and fell asleep all of them from emotional exhaustion.

"Draco! Draco, are you here? Damn it!" Johnny was walking around looking for his love and was having little success.

"Master Maxwell! I know where young Master Malfoy has gone!" Serena tugged on Johnny's blue jeans.

"Well, I don't think he's that young now, but could you tell me where he is?" Johnny kneeled down on one knee and smiled at the elf. 'Funny little creatures aren't they?' He chuckled to himself.

"He went to Master Harry's and Master Ron's home!" She exclaimed and pulled him to the fire. "Master looked worried when he left. GO! You tell Master Malfoy that Serena was worried about him and sent you. Shoo!" She practically tossed him the jar of floo powder.

"All right! No wonder he likes you! Just like a little grandmother you are!" He laughed at the elf, but in the back of his mind he was worried too. He looked at his watch. "What time did he leave?"

"About four hours ago." She said and left.

"Damn." He muttered. He took out some of the floo powder and set the jar on the mantelpiece. He through it in and, "Diagon Alley, The Wesley's!" He stumbled into the living room and saw the person he was looking for.

"Let me guess; my little friend told you where I was and told you to check on me." Draco smiled over his cup of coffee.

"Something like that. What happened?" Johnny took a seat next to him.

"Harry has this thing that happens to him sometimes. The memories of the war get to him and well... It's hard to explain. I'm really the only one who can wake him once he goes into his land of memories. It hasn't happened for a while. Things got emotional and..." Draco got cut off.

"There's something you're not telling me. I want the truth." Johnny looked at him with demanding eyes.

"Johnny, you know I love you right?" He got a nod. "Well, for a while I loved Harry too. I love you Johnny and I always will, but I had a hard time letting him go. Please don't leave me..."

"Will you stop worrying? If it one thing I'm gonna cure it's that low self-esteem. I know. Everyone has that one person that's hard to give up. I understand." Johnny smiled at his lover. He knew exactly what he was going though. That's what started his line on heartaches.

Draco put his coffee mug down then threw himself at his lover. "I love you so much. You always trust me."

"You've never lied to me. Why should I not?" He pulled Draco on his lap.

Draco kissed him and they stared making out till... "Draco Malfoy if I'm not aloud to do strenuous activity then you're sure as hell not!" Harry had walked into the living room and saw his best friend heading to third base on his couch.

"He has a point. You have every right to suffer with him." Johnny gave his lover a corny grin.

"Your okay with the fact that you're not going to get lucky for eleven months?" Draco pulled back a little more to give him a perplexed look.

"As long as I get to have my baby girls in my arms at the end." Johnny gently pushed Draco off of him. "Well Harry, are we still having that little party?"

"Sure. I'm gonna go order the pizza. I can call it from here, but I sure as hell can't get it delivered." Harry walked into the kitchen and picked up the cordless phone from the hook. Draco and Johnny heard the conversation.

"Hello, I would like to make an order." Harry said.

"Hey, Harry. The usual?" A male voice said on the other end.

"I'm not sure, Alex. Hold on. Hey guys go wake up that lump I call a husband please?" Harry poked his head from the wall.

"I'll get him." Draco got off the couch with a smirk.

"Draco." Harry gave a warning voice. "You be nice."

"I will. What ever made you think I wouldn't be?" Draco gave him a innocent look.

"Got company? I can deliver if you want." Alex said on the other side. "I'm heading home after this."

"Are you sure? Don't you live in Muggle London?" Harry asked sitting down on the couch after walking in the living room.

"No you git. I moved into Diagon Alley not two days ago." Alex laughed. "Ya know what I'm just gonna deliver it anyway. I can magically make this pizza. I'm the only one here, Harry. I'll have it there in ten minutes. Fifth-teen tops."

"Okay I'll give you my order in just a sec." Harry heard a yell that really sounded like a screech. "Make that a minute."

"BLODDY HELL, DRACO! Aw, that is IT! I'm gonna kill you!" He heard Ron scream and saw Draco bolt from their room.

"Johnny you love me right?" Johnny nodded. "Good. Save me." He hid behind him as Ron came from the room.

"Draco Malfoy, come here... So I can wring your neck." Ron said in a singsong voice.

"Don't kill me." Draco hugged Johnny's waist from behind.

"What did you do this time?" Harry asked.

"Water. Ice cold water. Right into his crotch. It was sooo funny! Ya should of seen his face!" Draco laughed from behind his barrier.

"I'm gonna kill him. Move." Ron walked up to Johnny with his fists raised.

"Ron stop. Draco, say you're sorry. Alex will hang up if I don't give this order soon." Harry looked at both of them.

"I'm sorry, Ron. It's still funny as hell, but I'm sorry." Draco came from behind Johnny.

"I'll spare your life for now." Ron sat next to Harry. "You know what I want. It's up to them." He jerked his thumb to the couple. Draco was sitting in the recline chair with Johnny on the floor in front of him.

"Do you guys want a pizza with pepperoni and sausage and one with just pepperoni? Oh, and breadsticks?" Harry questioned them.

"Sure. That your fav? You're practically drooling." Draco chuckled as Johnny's eyes lit up.

"I have no problem what so ever."

"Okay, Alex. The usual. Oh, and I have a favor for you." Harry got up and went to the kitchen. He came back a few minuets latter with a smirk plastered to his face.

"What did you do?" Ron smiled at his lover as he sat back down on the couch.

"You'll see. We did get all this Muggle stuff to run on magic for a reason." Harry laid down with his head on Ron's lap.

"Hope you didn't do what I think you did. You make poor Alex run enough for us." Ron ran his hand through Harry's hair.

"Who is this Alex anyway?" Draco asked re-braiding Johnny's hair.

"I always get my pizza from there and I thought he was a Muggle, well because you don't see many wizards working in Muggle places anyway and I didn't recognize him. Well one day I went to go pick up my pizza and I caught him doing a baking charm on someone else's pizza. He was going to modify my memory till I told him my real name and showed him my scar. Nearly killed the guy from shock. I went back the next day and talked to him a bit..." Harry was cut off.

"Where was Ron in all of this?" Draco asked as he undid the braid and started again.

"He was away on a case. Anyway..." Draco interrupted again.

"So you were hitting on other men while he was gone?" He smirked as Harry threw a pillow at him.

"No now shut up. It's starts to get funny. Now, we talked a bit and I told him that I worked at the ministry and he asked me if I might be able to get him a job in the Magical Creatures section. I told him my husband worked there and he might be able help him. So we planed a lunch for when Ron got back. We turn up at lunch and..." Harry busted out laughing.

"What the hell is your problem?" Draco looked at him funny. One of his eyebrows was raised.

"Turns out Ginny, who works in the Transfiguration Section fired him from there a month ago. That's not the only thing. Ron nearly had a fit. Ginny also fired him because he supposedly cheated on her. He was framed though. Canon James will do anything to get the woman." Harry went into another fit of laughter.

"Let me guess. Ronnikins here blew up, but didn't have a hissy fit? She's a woman, Ron. If she gets a few broken hearts she'll be alright." Johnny said from his spot on the floor.

"How much has Draco told you?" Ron gave Draco a glare and the blond just smirked.

"Enough." Then he went back to purring as Draco ran his hands through the brown locks.

"Like that do you?" Harry asked him.

"I love it when he plays with my hair." Johnny said with his eyes closed.

"Exspecially when we're having..."

"I don't wanna hear it." Harry said and bounced up as the doorbell rang.
