Harry had finally been released from the hospital. He did not protest when his husband carried him home. He knew it was another two weeks on bed rest. But he would do it. He would do anything for his daughter. He knew how much he cared about her. He could not do anything to risk her. He had plenty of work to catch up on. He had been excused from some of it. But he wanted to get back into things. Slytherin had a quidditch game before he would be released. He was thinking about them too. His husband thought it was a good thing. The more distracted he kept Harry the easier it would be for Harry to be on bed rest.

He saw Harry notice the new door from their bedroom when they went into the bedroom. He had the nursery attached to their bedroom. He knew the baby would sleep in their bedroom the first few weeks. Or he assumed she would. Narcissa would never have allowed it. But Harry seemed a more hands on type of dad. No matter how young. Lucius had every intention of being hands on as well. He would do this right. He would be the proper dad to this baby. He would be Dad from day one and not father. He hated his son had been forced to call him father until recently. His little girl would not be forced to such formality.

As he placed his husband in bed against the pillows he pictured it. He could see the cradle by the bed. He could see rocking the baby. And when she got older her crawling into bed with them if she had a bad dream. Draco had never been able to do that. Not with them. But this little girl would. He swore she would.

He smiled. "That is the door to the nursery. I thought once she was moved into the nursery it would be easier when she wakes us for a midnight feed."

Harry raised an eyebrow. "You're not going to put in earplugs and leave her to me?"

Lucius was about to be hurt but he heard a joking tone in Harry's voice. He realized Harry was smiling a bit. He never thought this day would come so soon. He had hoped. The fear and pain of the last weeks seemed to be working some magic. Harry was not falling in love with him. But Harry seemed to realize at least he cared. They had been talking a lot more. Lucius had returned to teaching on his insistence. And Harry seemed to get more comfortable with him.

Lucius shook his head. "I will take half or if you choose to nurse I will bring her to you. I plan on being an equal daddy. I promise you."

Harry smiled. "I know you will Luc. I kind of asked Poppy about....I was told nursing was good for the baby. And there is some kind of spell."

Lucius nodded. Harry would have known if he had spent more time around Sirius. Sirius did it for Mira. Even when he had not been in the same house. He had sent bottles to the townhouse. Harry was trying to make peace with Sirius but it was slow going. He was close to forgiving but forgetting was another matter. Harry was happy Remus and Mira had moved home though. He wanted his dads together. Mira deserved that.

Lucius tucked him in. "It would be better health wise for our daughter and you can fill bottles, but I want you to know it is your choice if you do or not."

Harry nodded. "Thank you Luc. I don't know. Can we talk about something else? Maybe the nursery?"

Lucius laughed and agreed. He had been considering a number of options. He wanted to have murals don for the room. He had been inspired by the menagerie of animals Harry had got. They spent an hour talking nursery and baby names. Harry thought since Draco was a constellation and Harry was a Black, they might consider a name from among the heavens, or maybe a flower like his mother. Lucius liked the sounds of that. He did not really have any family traditions in his. Many of the names came from the romance tongue though; his from Roman history but the Malfoys were from France originally.

Lucius was reluctant to leave after lunch as he took the morning off from classes to bring him home. "Are you sure you will be okay?"

Harry nodded and pointed at the stack of work. "I have plenty to keep me busy and Dobby is round if I need something. I promise we will both be okay."

Kissing Harry tenderly on the head Lucius reluctantly left. Harry had noticed his husband had not kissed his lips since the last scare. He remembered his husband's promise. He had sworn he would do better by Harry. That he would make up for the mistakes. He said when the baby was born he would not force Harry to be with him romantically again until he was ready for it. It seemed he had genuinely meant it. Harry hoped for both their sake that Lucius could keep to his promise. He wanted to work with his husband. Like Mira needed her two daddies, this little one did too. And he did not want her growing up surrounded by tension.

Harry put his hand on his belly. "You little one I will do anything for. I will try to get along with your Daddy for you. You deserve the world little one."

Lucius surprised himself. He had been reluctant to leave Harry for classes. But he found himself gone longer. He had not thought to ever go to this home. But since Remus returned he had no choice. Besides he wanted to speak to both his husband's dads. He wanted to do something for Harry. He wanted to make it easier for him. He wanted to make Harry smile. The talk that morning had been a good start. Harry was seeing his human and caring side. He wanted to continue with that.

Sirius looked up surprised to see him and panicked. "Is there something wrong with Harry or the baby?"

Remus put a calming hand on his husband's arm. "He would have floo called us if there was something wrong. He would not have come all the way here."

Sirius knew his husband was right. He had just been on edge. And the only time Lucius was around d had to do with their son. Harry's scare with the baby had been hard. And Sirius had major guilt over what he had done to his son. He had been swearing he would make it right with Harry. Remus thought he was becoming a bit annoying. But he said nothing. He was happy his husband and his son were making peace. He wanted his entire family back together.

Remus beckoned him into the kitchen. "What can we do for you Lucius?"

Lucius smiled. "I want to make sure I do this right for your son and the baby. I would really like to do something special for him and I thought you could help."

Both men were surprised and intrigued. They were surprise he had come to them. And intrigued at what he might have up his sleeve. They listened to what he was trying to do for his husband and what he was hoping that they would be able to give him a hand with as well.

Remus nodded. "There is not much left; Harry already had a few of the photos. But we do have a few things in the attic. They were meant for Harry one day."

Lucius stood and thanked them. "I should be going. I sent Draco to distract Harry but he will be suspicious if I do not return soon. I barely went to class."

As Lucius left Sirius actually shared a smile with his husband. Lucius was not their ideal son in law. Far from it. But they could see he was doing well by their son. And that he truly cared if not loved Harry and that baby for sure. And planning this and coming to them with the idea and for some help just proved it to them more. They were just happy Harry was home and while on bed rest for a bit longer both he and the baby were out of the woods and Poppy thought they would be good.
