'These are thoughts'

"Harry, I'm here to give you back your husband now. I don't need him anymore." Blaise yelled as he walked into the house.

"Draco, is that why you were rushing out of here earlier?" Harry said as he tried to give Draco a peck on the lips, but frowned when Draco moved slightly to evade it. 'Why is he acting like this?' Harry thought. 'First he leaves abruptly this morning and now this. Maybe I'm just reading too much into his actions.'

"Well, I'm just going to go, and get ready to leave."

"Harry, where are you going?" Blaise inquired

"Hermione has enlisted me to go shopping with her for the baby on the way."

"Pregnant, again?"

"Yep, fourth child!"

"Going shopping with the kids is going to be tough."

"That's why I'm leaving them with their other father." Harry turned to see Draco looking slightly nervous. "I did tell you I'm leaving them with you, right?"

"Yes, of course. I remember now." Draco said with a nervous laugh.

"Draco, are you okay? You've been acting odd today." Harry asked.

"I'm fine. You should go before Mud-Granger gets upset."

"Are you sure you're okay?" 'Now I'm really worried. Was he just about to call Hermione mudblood? And he hasn't called her Granger since during the war.'

"I'm fine. Now go." With one last, worried look at Draco, Harry decided to rust his husband and leave. As soon as Harry was out of sight Draco turned to Blaise.

"What the fuck am I supposed to do now?" Draco franticly asked "I don't know anything about watching kids."

"Neither do I!"

"Then what in Merlin's name are we going to do now?"

"I don't know-I've only watched your kids once! And since then I've been banned from being alone with them."

"What did you do?"

"How was I supposed to know if you give a three year old a dagger he would hurt himself with it?"

"You gave a three year old a dagger?"

"Oh, come on, our fathers gave us much more dangerous shit than that, and did much worse to us."

"Seeing as I hated my father enough to kill him, and you also hated your father; I don't think you should be using them as an example."

"Oh, yeah," Blaise said in realization "I only did it to shut the kid up. Well, until he stabbed himself in the foot with it. Before than I didn't know a kid could yell like that."

"No wonder you're not allowed to watch the kids. Why did I leave you with my child? You were never the parental type."

"You were desperate. Needed someone to watch the kids while Harry went into labor."

"So while one of my children was being brought into this world; you almost took another one out."

"I wouldn't say that." He said unnervingly.

"Which one did you almost kill?" Draco said with a small smile. Even though one of his "children" could have been severely hurt he still found it slightly amusing that Blaise was dumb enough to give a toddler a knife. And he liked to make his friend uncomfortable.

"I didn't kill any of them!" Blaise almost shouted.

"I didn't say that. Which on was it?"

"Aidan-"

"You called me?" Draco and Blaise turned to see a young boy, who stood a little over four feet tall. His features were pointed, just as Draco's was at that age. 'Man, this kid really does look a lot like me.' His skin was pale. Looked almost as though he never been outside. His white blond hair was cut a little long and the front hung a little bit in his face. 'My parents would never let my hair get that long or let it be ever so slightly out of place. I guess I now know I'm more relaxed than my parents.' Then Draco noticed the only feature that set him apart from the child. He had that the clearest green eyes he had ever seen. His eyes had shown a mischievous sparkle that Draco always witnessed in Potter's when he was in school. Those eyes seem to pin Draco in the spot he was standing. Draco couldn't believe he was looking at his son- his own flesh and blood.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I just… I mean, I'm…why aren't you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"Where do you usually go, when Pot-your other me father and me are busy?"

"Usually it's Aunt Hermione's and Uncle Ron's house or Grandma Weasley's house." 'What is going on? My son is calling the Weasels and that Mudblood family. I allowed this to happen?' Draco shook his thoughts away.

"So do you want to your go to your gra-gra-Grandma Weasley's house?" 'Merlin, that was painful! I think I need to wash my mouth out with soap.'

"We can't go there, don't you remember? Grandpa and Grandma are in Romania for the next month."

"Go upstairs and entertain yourselves until I figure out what I'm going to do." As soon as Aidan was out of sight, Draco turned to Blaise. "What the fuck am I going to do? I don't know how to take care of kids!"

"And it's not like you can rely on our childhood for good ideas."

"You're not helping."

"What? I'm just stating fact."

"Shut up! I need something to do with the kids today." After about five minutes of complete silence Draco all but yelled. "Why aren't you helping me?"

"You told me to shut up now you expect me to talk? Make up your mind."

"When do you ever actually listen to me?"

"When you don't want me to."

"I hate you."

"Awww, I love you, too."

"Just help me think of a plan for this."

"What did you like when you were little?"

"I don't know!" Draco shouted

"Okay-I got it!"

"What?"

"You can take them to the zoo."

"The zoo? Why the zoo of all places?"

"Because kids like animals."

"Okay. Where is the closest zoo?"

"In London."

"I don't remember there being a zoo in London."

"It's a muggle one, not a magical one."

"Okay, that shouldn't be too hard. We take the kids to the zoo, and show them some animals. By the time we're done Potter should be back. We leave the kids with him and a way to get me back to my time."

"Draco?"

"Yes?"

"Why do you keep saying we?"

"Because you're not leaving me alone in this." Draco said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"When did you get that impression?"

"You can't leave me!"

"Yes I can. What part of I am not allowed to watch the kids anymore don't you understand?"

"You know more about them than I do."

"You're a smart guy you can figure it out."

"You can't do this to me! Please?" He said with a pleading look on his face.

"Wow, I didn't even think you knew the word please." Draco ignored this comment and kept pleading with him.

"Fine, I'll do it."

"Good. Because if that didn't work, I would have had to threaten you."

"Yeah, yeah."

Just then they saw a little boy. "Aidan! Good, you're here now I don't have to call for you." Draco said when he saw him.

"I'm not Aidan. I'm Evan."

"Sorry," the blond said sheepishly.

"Sorry, and please, all in less than an hour! If I didn't know any better I'd say the world is going to end." Blaise exclaimed then another boy looking just like the first came down.

"Good, Aidan you're down here also now I can just tell you at the same time. Today we're going to the zoo with Blaise."

"I thought dad said we can't be left alone with him anymore." Aidan said.

"Don't worry, I'll be there." 'Not that that would help.' "Now go get ready and don't forget to tell your sister to also."

"Dad, she can't get herself ready" Evan said

"Why not?"

"Because, she's only three years." Aidan reminded

"I was kidding." Draco said with a nervous chuckle.

"Father, are you okay?" Evan asked concerned

"I'm fine." Draco said while trying to pacify Evan.

"Whatever you say." Aidan and Evan said at the same time as they turned and left

The Draco turned to Blaise and asked, "What's the name of the house elf?"

"What house elf?"

"We don't have a house elf?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because Harry doesn't believe in slave labor."

"How do I live in this house without a house elf?"

"I don't know; you just do."

"Without a house elf, who takes care of the kids?"

"You and Harry."

"I guess we have to go upstairs and get her ready."

"No, no, no. I said I was going to help you with the zoo part of today not the getting her ready part."

"I hate you."

"I know. Now go upstairs and get your child ready."

An hour later Draco and Lily came down.

"Father, what took you so long?" Aidan was the first to ask.

"I had to take care of your sister."

"Draco, why is she in a tutu?"

"Because she wanted to be ballerina."

"That's makes a lot of sense."

"How does that make a lot of sense?"

"She has you wrapped around her little finger."

"No she doesn't."

"You're letting her go out in a costume. What happened to Malfoy pride and having an image?"

"Shut up and let's go." Blaise followed him out laughing to himself.
