Harry waited. Even if his dad had agreed to be by his side. He made the excuse that he wanted his brothers there. They had been the ones there all along. He was happy to have his dad back. But he was still having a hard time forgetting. Oliver and Charlie had stood with him. They walked him down the aisle. They helped him write Remus. They had offered to be there for the test. And he wanted them there. But he could not deny that he also wanted to delay the test. He was petrified. He knew this would not change anything. He knew deep down he was pregnant. But some how hearing the words would make it so much more real. Harry had finally asked Remus and his brothers to come on the weekend after the second term started. They had been waiting for him to write. They knew he could not continue to hide.
Remus surprised him when he arrived. "Someone here has been waiting a long time to meet her big brother."
Harry opened his arms and took the little bundle into his arms. "She is so beautiful Dad. But how?"
Remus sighed. He hoped perhaps he and Sirius might patch things up eventually but they were legally separated as of Monday. Lucius had kept his promise. He had supplied lawyers and convinced the judge to grant Remus custody of the baby. Sirius got her one weekend a month right now, during the full moon. The attorneys argued that Sirius was an auror with a known temper, and though a wolf Remus worked from home and could offer a more stable home. He and Mira had moved into the Malfoy townhouse for now. Remus had given up his own cottage some time before.
Harry looked down at Mira. "I am so angry for what he did to me but I hate coming between the two of you. You guys waited so long to be together."
Remus kissed him on the head. "He not only hurt you but me. He lied to me. Mending our marriage is up to him. He realizes what he has done and I'll go back."
He still very much loved his husband. And he did not want a divorce. Mira deserved both of her dads. And so did Harry. But Sirius refused to admit he was wrong. He would not even apologize to Remus over the letter. He thought lying to his husband had been right. Some where in his head he seemed to think he was protecting Remus. Remus prayed he would come to his senses. He was not happy at the townhouse. Or keeping Sirius away from Mira. But Sirius needed to make things right first.
Harry kissed him. "Thank you for bringing her for me dad. And as much as he has hurt me I hope you two make up. You and Mira deserve to have him with you."
Remus took his daughter. "I agree. But no more stalling. Your brothers are here too and we are taking you to have the test. Harry you need to find out for sure."
Tears in his eyes Harry nodded. He knew really but he just needed to have it confirmed. Oliver and Charlie both hugged him. They had long considered him a brother. But that had grown since this summer. They were already trying for their own. But at least in their case they were in love. And wanted the baby. Not to mention they were not sixteen years old. Harry had so many obstacles. But they knew he was not being fair. They knew his husband would be there for him if he let Lucius be. They had tried to convince him to tell Lucius his suspicions but he had refused to tell him and forbidden them from telling him. He wanted to know for sure first.
They were surprised to find Poppy was gone and Severus was in the hospital wing. "I guess we will need to come back."
Remus ignored Severus' raised eyebrow and steered Harry to a bed. "No. Severus can run the test. No more hiding Harry. Now will you tell him or do I?"
Severus had of course guessed. He and Draco both suspected. Lucius seemed the only one who did not. He knew that Harry was scared to ask. He was happy to see Harry's dad and brothers had finally brought him. He was not s surprised to see Mira with them. Remus had contacted his old friend as well as Lucius.
Harry sighed as he sunk down on the bed and barely mumbled loud enough for Severus to hear him. "I need you to run a pregnancy test."
Severus nodded. "Of course Harry. You know you could have come to me sooner for this even if you were not ready to tell your husband."
Harry just nodded and with his brothers holding one hand and his dad holding the other he lay back and watched s the test was performed. He knew this should have been a happy moment. For most married people it was. And he knew the day had been coming. He and his husband had been trying for a baby since July but he was petrified. He was not even close to being ready to be a daddy to a baby. Babies deserved two parents and he didn't know if he could be a proper one for his baby.
Severus looked up from the test. "You're pregnant Harry. As far as I can tell you conceived the start of December and should deliver at the start of September."
As Harry was dealing with the shock of delivering at the start of his senior year a voice cut through. "Why the hell did you not tell me you were pregnant?"
Harry's head shot up and he saw his husband standing in the doorway. Harry could not handle it. He just found out he was pregnant. And now his husband was yelling at him. Before his brothers or dad could stop him Harry stumbled to his feet. He shot past his husband and out of the infirmary. He had no idea where he was going and what he would do. He just needed to get away from it. He did not stop until he literally ran smack dab into someone.
A concerned voice met his ears before he turned to leave. "Harry what is wrong?"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lucius had watched as his husband had fled. He wanted to stop him but he felt a ward stopping him. He turned to look at Severus who had cast it. Remus and Harry's brothers looked ready to tear him a part at the moment. And he honestly could not blame them. His shock in realizing his husband was pregnant had come out as anger. And he had seen the pain in his husband's face as he had fled from the infirmary. He had wanted to kick himself in the balls for doing that to his husband. He had a feeling that he might not have to try and do it to himself.
Remus snarled at him. "Harry literally just found out he is pregnant and you yell at him? He is scared shitless and needs you to help him, not yell at him."
Lucius sighed. "I know. But he obviously has suspected for a time. I don't get why he didn't tell me. We have been trying for a baby since our wedding day."
It was just like Harry's reaction to their wedding. Harry had known it was coming for a year. He had known his life would change. But he acted like it was a surprise. He did not understand why Harry was so shocked. They had been trying for over five months to get pregnant. Lucius had been hoping for some time. Harry might not be as happy as him about the prospect but he knew it would happen eventually.
Oliver spoke up. "He is sixteen; he will be barely seventeen when the baby comes. He is absolutely petrified. We practically had to force him to come for the test."
Severus saw that was not helping. "You have been trying for a baby. Your husband has been holding his breath. Lucius your husband was just scared."
Shaking his head Lucius knew they were right. Harry was a teen. He could only imagine how Draco would feel if he was pregnant this young. This should have been a happy moment. Lucius should have been with his husband when he got the news. He had felt a bit hurt that he had not been there for the test. He knew though he was just being selfish about it. He could be there for the rest of the pregnancy and for his baby. He had just freaked out his husband over nothing.
Lucius looked at the door. "Let me out. I need to go and find my husband and try and make this right with him. I didn't mean to get mad at him."
