Christmas had been a wonderful family event. They had spent Christms Eve with the Weasleys and the day with the Tonks. Everyone was so happy he was staying. Draco and Blaise returned from their honeymoon to Bali the day before New Years. Andromeda and Ted did not take no for an answer. They insisted on taking their grandson for the evening so that Harry and his boyfriend to have the night out. As odd as it seemed thy were going on a double date with Draco and Blaise. Harry often thought it funny that Draco who was six weeks older then him could be his stepson some day. But he was happy that he realized he wanted that. He was not sure how soon it would be but he knew he wanted it.
Harry and Lucius met Draco and Blaise at a hot night club that had been opened near Diagon Alley. It was definitely an up scale club. He sat with Blaise when the two Malfoys had headed for the bar to get them some drinks.
Blaise looked at Harry. "You know Lucius is thinking engagement rings already for you. Draco would like you to be official when our baby is born."
Harry raised an eyebrow at him. "Either my possible future stepson has some very active sperm or you were pregnant before you two got married."
Blaise blushed a bit and admitted they had started trying before they married and had found out that morning that they conceived a few days before their wedding, about five days before. Of course they had been engaged for a year and planning the wedding for six months so it definitely had not been a shotgun wedding. They had not told Lucius the good news but they had asked Harry and Lucius to come to tell them. They thought it would be the best way to ring in the New Year.
Lucius brought over a drink and handed it to Harry but eyed his son and son in law. "I have a feeling that there is something you need to tell us."
Draco kissed his husband who had a soda. "We're about to make you, and if you hurry and make Harry an honest man finally, grandfathers."
Lucius was of course over the moon with the news. He had no problem with the fact that Blaise was pregnant before the wedding. He was just so happy with it. He had wanted Harry to remain in London for just this. He had wanted to be close when this day came and he became a grandfather. And if he had his way Harry would be his husband or at least on his way to being his husband, by the time the baby was born. He did not think it would take nine month for them to be engaged. He wanted to legally adopt Teddy who he already blood adopted and wanted a few more down the line, perhaps a daughter since both he and Harry already had sons.
Draco whispered to his dad though loudly enough for Harry to catch some of it. "Hurry up and get a ring on him before he decides to go for a younger model."
Unfortunately it was someone else who answered. "Oh I don't think your Papa has anything to worry about. He seems to like old Death Eater scum cock."
They turned to see Ron behind them and Hermione was some where in the distance. Harry had noticed before that they looked no where near happy together. He again wondered about the baby and her appearance. He was just happy this time that his son was not around. Teddy did not need to be exposed to the likes of Ron again. He must have had blinders on when he had been friends with Ron for the first years of school. He realized Ron had always been like this. He was not surprised that Draco and his friends had made Ron a target. Right now h wished he could go back to school and try and flush his former friend's head in the toilet.
Harry looked over at him. "He might be older but he at least is a good lay. You must not be much of a good lay in bed or your wife might not be looking else where."
Draco pointed over Ron's steaming shoulder. "I heard Percy fathered that baby of yours and now look at her, she is flirting with some bar tender right in front of you."
Shocked to hear who was the perspective father of the little girl Harry tended to think Hermione and Percy actually made a better couple. Though he knew Percy was married as well. He was not sure if Draco was right about the paternity of the baby but h was right about Hermione that night. She was definitely flirting hard and heavy with the bar tender and he swore he saw hr slip him a number. He wondered when his former friend had tuned into such a slut. He had slept around and picked up guys every night in the bar, how he hooked up with Lucius, but he was not a married man. Hermione was married and doing it out in front of her husband.
Ron sneered at them and turned to go to his wife. "You know nothing about my marriage. I feel pity for that baby, having you as the family."
Blaise looked at his husband who was angry at their big news being tarnished. "Don't let him get to you. We still need to make a toast for our new little member."
Harry agreed with Blaise and they soon were making toasts for the baby. When the countdown started they had changed to champagne, cider for Blaise and they made resolutions for the New Year. Lucius though waited right until the clock struck midnight before he said his. He dragged Harry into a long passionate kiss; reminded that the old myth had who you kissed t New Years you will spend the year with. He had every intention of spending more then just this coming year with Harry.
Lucius held him tenderly. "I resolve to have you as my husband and trying for our own baby this time next year. And I will keep this resolution I swear."

A few days after the holiday Harry and Teddy were speeding the day together. Since he left New York his work ethic had taken a nose dive. Or at least in his mind. Lucius told him h still worked more then he did. Which was hard to accomplish. But he made sure to be home for dinner every night and all day in the weekends and even then he often took days off. For the first time since Teddy was born he was actually able to be a hands on Dad. He had to admit h was hoping he would be ready to help Lucius keep his resolution. He wanted to raise Teddy with Lucius and have more children with him. Teddy was already coming to see Lucius as Papa though he did not use the term yet. Both sons were behind the marriage as was Lucius and the Tonks, it seems only Harry stood in the way. And he had to admit he was falling in love with Lucius. As hard as he fought to keep his heart closed off in fear of it being broken again after the loss of his first love, he was falling badly for Lucius. And he could no longer really deny he could see a future with him.
Harry and Teddy had been invited to have lunch with Uncle George and Aunt Angie. Now into her eighth month and the doctors warning with twins she could go into labour at any time, Angelina was going stir crazy being at home all of the time and Harry had agreed to come for lunch. He was heading to pick up some flowers when he was about to have quit the interesting run in.
Teddy started pointing. "Uncle Georgie, Uncle Georgie."
Harry shook his head. "Your Uncle is at the shop little man."
He did notice a red head and it was definitely a Weasley butt it was Percy. And he was shocked to see he was walking towards one of the hotels along the side street with an arm around a woman. He was even more shocked to see that it was Hermione. He had no idea how the two were acting like this so publically. He knew Penelope, Percy's wife, was the manager of Flourish and Blotts which was just up the street.
It seemed he was not the only one who spotted them for Penelope he was sure appeared and slapped her husband. "George warned me but I did not believe him."
Percy rubbed his face and looked like he was about to slap her but Harry and Teddy appeared at her side. "Back off Percy. You will not touch your wife."
Glaring at him Percy showed no shame and walked off with Hermione who showed no shame or remorse. He wondered how much Ron knew Hermione did not seem worried that her husband might learn from his sister in law that his wife and brother were heading into a hotel before his wife caught them. Harry scooped his son up who was confused but really did not know what was going on and turned to Penelope who was in tears.
He sighed. "Come with me Penny. I am having lunch with George and Angelina. I am sure you could use a friendly face right about now."
Penny looked at him surprised but nodded. "George has been so nice even though the family cut him off. He tried warning me last week. I was such a fool."
They headed for George's. George was shocked but welcomed Penny in. The twins had really had no contact with the rest of their family. But he had felt bad for her and tried to stop her from getting hurt as she just did. He had heard his brother ranting in a bar that Lynette was not his but Percy's. Angelina did her best to calm Penelope down and she ended up staying put later when Harry and Teddy left.
