Harry flashed into their cottage and saw Minerva on the couch sobbing. He moved to the couch and sat next to her pulling her into his arms. He held her and comforted her as much as she would allow. "I have you my love," he said as he drew her against his chest.
Minerva buried her face in his neck and sobbed out her frustrations. "Why must it always be something?"
Harry placed his hand on her still flat belly and rubbed gently. "I would rather die than any harm come to this child," he said sincerely. "I have longed for a family as long as I can remember."
"You have felt my longing for a child," Minerva said slowly. "You know this is a decision I desperately wish to avoid but we cannot. If we lose the war, this child will never be allowed to live. Tom will destroy everything associated with you. We have to take the chance to end the war no matter the risks."
"Albus believed I could survive a killing curse again," Harry tried again, tears streaming down his face. His emotions clearly on display.
Minerva kissed away his tears before responding, "There is no guarantee you could. If you fall so will the resistance and Tom knows it. We must give you the best chance at survival. The Wizarding World depends on you!"
"The Wizarding World can go to hell," Harry said bitterly. "I need you and the baby to survive!"
"You are just upset and angry right now," Minerva replied. "This ritual is the best scenario for everyone. We will have to risk it if we want to build a better future for our children."
"Children," Harry asked in doubt. His heart swelling with hope of adding to their family.
"As many as you want," she promised. "We will take all precautions with this ritual and protect the baby as best as possible."
Harry nodded his acceptance at her decision and pulled her up to straddle his lap. He licked her still visible mating mark and vanished their clothes. He kissed her slowly, lovingly. "I want a house full of them," he answered as he moved his hand to her stomach and caressed it gently. "Including this one. I want Poppy and Helen both there when the sample is taken."
"I promise," she said as she kissed him. "Now love me like you have never loved me before. Make me cry out your name."
Harry grinned and kissed her demanding. His hands caressed her suprisingly large breasts, enjoying their weight in his hands. He squeezed them enough to make her moan in need. "Challenge accepted," he said as he stood up and smirked at her. "On your knees facing the back of the couch," he ordered.
Minerva moaned at the tone of voice he used but did as told. He moved her legs wider and moved her hands to the back of the couch. "Grab the couch cushions," he teased lightly. "You are going to need it for support."
Harry stepped up behind her and lovingly caressed her. He smiled widely when he saw her juices already dripping from her center. He gripped her hips and pulled her back slightly to meet his. He grabbed his manhood with one hand and guided it to her entrance and slowly pushed in. Minerva gasped at the feeling. "We are just getting started my love," he chuckled as he set a slow pace. "Breathe."
Minerva moaned as he steadily moved in and out of her. His hands moved from her hips to her breasts. He squeezed and kneaded them nearly to the point of pain but it added to Minerva's pleasure. She laid her forehead to the back of the couch as Harry moved in and out of her. She focused on the pleasure coiling in her belly as he steadily moved them to the edge.
Harry moved one of his hands around Minerva and toyed with her clitoris. Minerva purred at that. He sped up and his strokes became more forceful. He let out a guttural cry as he released into her and prompted her to cry out his name. Minerva turned her head to look at him and smiled satisfied. "You love this old carcass like no other," she said, her brogue thick.
"Old my arse," he responded as he pulled out of her and picked her up bridal style. He carried her upstairs and gently laid her on the bed. He slid in beside of her and pulled her near. "Rest while you can," he whispered seductively. "I can make you cry out louder."
Minerva grinned at him before whispering, "You can try."
Minerva woke up only to fall off the edge of pleasure. She cried out loudly for Harry. Hearing his chuckle, she looked down to find Harry nipping at her clitoris. Her hands tangled in his short hair as she tugged him up and kissed him rather passionately. "I like your version of a wake up call," she commented as she wrapped her arms around him.
"I aim to please," he said with a grin.
"You certainly did," Minerva joked before pulling her husband down on her. "Love me husband!"
Harry didn't say anything as he wrapped his arms around Minerva and kissed her slowly. Their passion grew as the minutes ticked by and he slipped inside of her. She threw her head back at the complete feeling. "You make me feel like no other has before," she confessed, a look of utter happiness on her face.
Harry felt like roaring in pride at the statement. His heart beating wildly with the need to please his wife. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and supported himself on his forearms. Lifting slightly up from her, he said, "Close your legs."
Raising her eyebrow in suprise, she did as he wanted. When Harry shifted his weight back on her, she moaned loudly. "Like no other has," she panted as he moved.
"Utter fools," Harry said and kissed her lovingly. "They didn't know how wonderous you are."
Tears sprang to her eyes as he met her gaze. She saw the truth in his words and it soothed her weary soul. She gave in to the building fire and caressed him with her hands. Time slipped by unnoticed as they loved one another unhurried. Minerva screamed his name as she fell off the edge of ecstasy and vaguely heard his matching cry before he collapsed on her.
Minutes or hours later, Minerva wasn't sure which it was, she spoke to him. "I admit to feeling overwhelmed by our bond and all it entails. I was nervous to find myself in a marriage to such a young wizard and one I knew so little about personally," she said honestly, her Scottish brogue thick from emotions. "Now I find myself thankful for the unexpected blessing. You have firmly taken ownership of my heart, my soul in such a small time it is amazing."
Harry kissed her lovingly. "I had no clue what was missing from my life until that first night we made love here in cottage," he said emotionally. "The sounds you made, the expressions on your face and the feel of you. It did something to me."
He tenderly caressed her cheek and moved her hand to his mating mark before continuing, "I felt complete for the very first time in my life that night as I watched you sleep. Having you wake up in my arms made me realize I wanted that forever. I want you in my life forever. Discovering the baby just added to the overwhelming happiness I felt."
Minerva smiled teary eyed as she felt the truth in his words. She kissed him sweetly and then responded, "When this war is won, we will focus on that forever and adding several more additions to the Potter line." Harry just grinned at her.
