It was early December and they both knew the time was coming. In two weeks Draco would be married. Lucius planned on returning to New York to Harry if he did not come. But Lucius wanted Harry to come. He wanted Harry to see he could return home. Now that they had adopted Teddy there was no danger. Teddy would be safe. In the two months Lucius had seen Harry wanted it. He heard Harry talk to his friends back home. And tell Teddy about his grandparents. No one would be suspicious how close Harry was with the couple. He had been so close with their daughter and son in law. He was practically their grandson before the war ended. He wanted to be in London. He wanted to be around when he became a grandfather for the first time. But he wanted Harry and Teddy as well. He needed them all.

He and Harry had taken Teddy out a lot together. Harry had been reluctant to kiss him around his son. He did not want Teddy confused until he was sure. But their love life had not slowed down. As much of an incredible lay as Harry still was, he was so much more. He realized his son had been right. He was having a mid life crisis. He was not a bachelor for life. Or he hoped he would not be. He wanted marriage with Harry. He wanted to raise Teddy and hopefully a few more kids down the road.

They had spent the day skating at Rockefeller center. They were both enjoying the start of the holiday season in New York through Teddy's eyes. They had even taken him to see Santa at Macys'. Though Teddy knew of the magic world and lived around it he had also very much been accustomed to the muggle way of life.

He looked at Harry after Teddy was down. "I need to book my trip home for Draco's wedding. Would you please come with me? You and Teddy?"

Harry turned to look at him. "Are you really ready for this? You know Draco and I were involved once. How is he going to react with all of our history?"

Though Draco knew he was dating a younger man this would still be a shock. Harry and Draco had gone to school together. They had slept together. Harry had eventually been engaged to his godfather. Lucius and Severus had practically been brothers. They were in all but blood. There were definitely quite a few stumbling blocks lying in their path which would make Draco accepting a relationship between the two of them definitely harder then most. They had both known that from the start. Really they had considered them for themselves too when they were thinking about taking this further.

But Draco wanted his dad happy. And he also wanted him home. And Harry made him happy. And for him to come home he needed Harry to come. He would go for the wedding but he was not sure he could move home for good if Harry was not with him. He had told Harry that more then once.

Lucius held him. "I will tell him I am bringing a date, he insisted on it. We will tell him in person. You can not tell me you have not wanted to go home."

Harry sighed. "I don't know if London or the UK is really home but it would be nice for me and Teddy to see the family and life we have left back there."

Ties had been cut with most of the Weasleys and even Hermione. Their loyalty and friendship had failed at the first test. The twins were the only ones he kept in contact with though he had kept on decent terms with Bill as well. Oliver and he were still close but Harry could not count on his globe trotter friend being around when they were there for the wedding. But there was Luna and Neville, and the Tonks as well. Andromeda and Ted were still not aware that Harry had started a romantic relationship with Lucius. But he could not deny anymore he wanted it to continue and he knew he would have to face it.

Harry nodded. "I will come. It would be good to Andromeda and Ted and my friends. But you know I am not the only on who will face the inquisition."

Lucius laughed. "Draco will probably be easier then what I face but I am willing. Are you prepared to face some of the others perhaps when you return?"

They both knew if they were in London for a given amount of time Harry would likely run into other Weasleys and former friends as well. But as much as he was uncertain he wanted to see them again he would not let them run him off. London was his home once. And though he was not ready to admit it, if the trip went well he was willing to consider moving back. Not in with Lucius, he and Teddy would take up at Grimmauld. But he could see it. He was not ready to consider a future or even admit he might be falling in love with Lucius. He made that clear to the man as he knew Lucius was thinking marriage. But he would consider the move. He did not want this to end and he knew Lucius wanted to be near his son and future grandchildren and Harry could see up sides of being there as wall.

Harry looked at his son. "The two of us will be staying at Grimmauld though. I will not be staying at your manor or townhouse."

Lucius felt like protesting but he thought better of it. "If you would be more comfortable there but I am sure I can change your mind. I am sure of that."

Harry laughed and ran his tongue teasingly along Lucius' bottom lip. Teddy might have changed the pace of their sex life but he had not altered it. There still was a very active cat and mouse feel to it. Harry and Lucius had both spent too much time in control of their relationships before, and neither was ready to give that up. They continued their little game of chess and they both admitted it definitely brought some more excitement to their romance.

Harry pulled away and swatted his ass before handing off. "I have some business calls to make. You might want to contact your son and give him the news."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Lucius went into the office the next day to place the floo call to his son. Harry did not have a fireplace in the penthouse any where. He also wore to Harry he would not tell Draco. They would tell him in person together. He knew it would be a big enough shock for his son. They had decided to head to London in a week so they had some time to drop it on Draco and did not just appear at his wedding together and give him a heart attack.

Draco smiled when he saw him. "You better not be calling to say you are not coming. I know New York has captured you father but I need you there."

Lucius shook his head. "Even if Blaise is the younger and the one given away you know I would not miss this. Being there means as much to me as to you."

There were so many mile stones he had missed. He had not been able to even take his son to a park as a kid. He swore he would miss o more. And with Teddy and kids he hoped to have with Harry some day when he convinced him to fall in love, he would not miss any. Draco had been sure he had been right his father had fallen in love when Lucius had opted to spend the past three months living in New York.

Draco smirked. "Does this mean that I get to meet your mysterious new boyfriend? I hop he has demanded a pre-nup out of you at the very least."

Lucius laughed. "No pre-nup or wedding plans just yet but he will be accompanying me to your wedding. We will be in London in a week."

He could see his son was happy with the news. Draco was anxious to meet the young man who had his dad so enamoured. He had thought it might be another year or so before his father's midlife crisis ended. He and Blaise were both anticipating meeting who ever it was who had Lucius so turned like this. Their wedding was just the perfect excuse to have the new boyfriend brought out of the woodwork for them to meet.

Draco turned to leave. "I can't wait to find out who the guy is who has finally turned the tables on you father. I have a feeling he will definitely be interesting."

Lucius laughed as he pulled out. "You have no idea Draco, no idea how right you are."
