Saturday morning Severus was a bit surprised when he found the other side of the bed empty. His husband had never been up before him except mornings when he had quidditch but neither team he coached would have practice for another week at least. He was even more surprised when his husband came in fully dressed and with a bag over his shoulder.

Severus stared at him. "Should I be concerned my husband has decided to leave me after barely a year of marriage?"

Harry leaned down and kissed him. "I will only be leaving you if you do not get up and get dressed."

They had said they were not going home that weekend so he wondered what his husband had up his sleeve but laughing he stood and went to change. His husband was waiting near the door when they got to the sitting room.

Severus drew his husband close for a kiss. "Whisking me away on a romantic holiday? Here I thought that we were spending a quiet weekend at school."

Harry pulled him towards the door."Father reminded me we're chaperoning next weekend and then I will have quidditch coaching..."

His husband knew full well that he did not have to be at all practices and he could easily slip away any weekend one of his teams did not have a game so he knew something was up. He was not sure what since his husband was not one for surprises but he had a feeling he was not alone in planning. He had a sneaking suspicion what ever his husband was up to, Lucius had a hand in it or Draco. He guessed his old friend though.

Harry turned to him when they got past the gates. "I thought we could have a quiet night at home. But we have to run an errand for dad first."

Severus lifted up an eyebrow. "Your father is sending us to run errands? I know they have a one year old but this does seem a bit out of place."

Harry shook his head. "Dad said it could wait till next weekend until they went themselves but when I mentioned we'd be down there he asked if I wouldn't mind."

Thinking it made sense enough but still knowing his husband had something up his sleeve but he did not question it. His husband had not brought the bag with them and he realized he must have sent it on with a house elf before they left.

When they arrived at Diagon Alley he turned to his husband. "Are we going to be too busy or do we have some time for me to stop by the apothecary shop?"

Harry smiled and kissed him. "Do you think I would drag my husband away from his lab all day and not even let him go to his favourite shop?"

Laughing Severus put an arm around his husband's waist and led him through the archway into the alley. For what ever reason his husband had whisked him away off to London he was happy for it. He definitely could live with being out of the lab and enjoying his amazing husband for the day.

He saw his husband's green gills look when they hit the apothecary. "Are you okay Harry? You have smelled worse when working on potions with me before."

Harry shook his head. "I think it is the mix of smells. You know I love working with you but the apothecary shop is definitely not one I would choose to enter."

Severus knew that. "Why don't you go and pick up what you need to for your dads need wile I am here? Unless you have something else in mind."

For a moment he thought he had caught his husband and that Harry would need to reveal something but Harry kissed him and said he would not take long. He would meet Severus in the book store when Severus was done in here. Severus was starting to wonder if he was wrong or what his husband was up to.

When he was done he walked into the book store and was surprised when he found what section his husband was in. "Decided to go into fairy tales?"

Harry laughed and turned into his arms for a kiss. "Very funny dear husband of mine. You recall my little nephew's birthday is next week and I haven't got anything."

Laughing Severus admitted with the size of the Weasley clan it may have slipped his mind that Geraint Davies was turning a year old. Fleur was pregnant again he remembered and it seemed the family would be growing more.

Severus looked at the bag tat his husband was holding. "Your father sent us for diapers or something? He does realize house elves could do that doesn't he?"

Harry elbowed him. "It is actually some dress for Emma. You know my dads are going to the Zaibinis' for that dinner next week. And alterations might be needed."

Severus had actually been glad for the invite to his nephew's birthday party, as Harry reminded him Geraint was now that he was married to Harry. A Weasley party still was not his favourite thing in the world but the Zaibinis house was a mad house with planning for the wedding. It made sense if there was a chance the new little dress needed some changes; they wanted to get it before the day of the party.

Harry led his husband out after making a few purchases. "I thought since they talked our way out of another wedding planning dinner, we owed them this much."

Severus couldn't deny that. "I for one would much rather spend a few hours in the afternoon at the Weasleys with you and then head home."

The dinner and the birthday were both on Sunday so there had been no arguing that Harry and Severus had chaperoning duties to over see but his dads said he and his husband were quite busy all weekend. Severus was distracted by talk of weddings and babies that he barely noticed when they got home. He was surprised his husband led him straight up stairs but stopped in front of the door across from their rooms and took out from the bag three small doll house size cradles.

Harry smiled. "I need your advice on which one will be here and which at school." And pushed open the door.

Severus was amazed to find the start of a nursery there with a crib and rocking chair. "You're pregnant? We're pregnant?"

Harry nodded. "Two weeks. I found out Thursday. Our own little one due in May."

Seizing his husband Severus whirled him off the ground in a long warm kiss and happily helped choose between the three cradles. He knew his husband was right; the baby would spend a lot of time between these two places. He saw one was portable and could be taken for the manor. He could only imagine when the Malfoys got their hands on these and filled them. Lucius was sure to go over board after what the boys had done for Emma.

There was a clearing of throats behind them and they saw the Malfoys behind them. Draco hugged him. "Should I be hurt little brother I was the last to know?"

Harry shook his head."You and dad are third and fourth. Father only knows because Dobby went for him when I had morning sickness on Thursday."

Severus was not that disappointed to share the evening with the rest of the family as they had dinner to celebrate the amazing news. He was happy to hear his husband had been taking all the precautions. He had not noticed Harry taking anything but Harry assured him the elves had added to his food since he found out.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Harry was happy when he showed up at the Burrow that his stomach had not come up. Severus had no idea how he had not noticed his husband had morning sickness before. It turned out while Harry and Lucius shared no blood they did share the unfortunate dangerous reactions to morning sickness potions. Severus was just grateful it only lasted the first three months usually for he was not sure he could take nine months of watching his husband throwing up.

Severus steadied him. "Are you sure you want to tell everyone tonight? We could wait until we have the sonogram next month."

Harry had thought about that. "We can wait if you'd prefer. This is your news as well. I just think when I am not eating tonight they might get suspicious."

Assuring his husband he was happy to share the news with the world, Severus led him off towards the house. They could have pretended that Harry had some stomach bug but they both knew that Molly and likely even Hermione, who would be there with Viktor, would know they were lying. They were good at such things.

Harry smiled when little Geraint came toddling at him. "Ary."

Watching Harry scoop up his son Charlie came over with a huge smile. "I am so glad you came for the party."

Laughing Harry assured him he would not miss his nephew's birthday if he could help it. He and Hermione had always been so grateful for the welcome they had received from the family. Hermione had not been adopted like Harry had been by the family, but she was like a beloved cousin. Even since the Malfoys adopted him Harry had always had a place here among them and all the grandkids would call him Uncle.

Molly came his way and sure enough she noticed something and he could see that Hermione was eying him as well next to her fiancé. "Are you feeling well Harry?"

Harry shared a smile with his husband and nodded. "Sev and I are expecting our first child. I am three weeks pregnant."

To no surprise that news was greeted by amazed stares and then cheering and even little Geraint who was in his arms still when he was told his Uncle was pregnant, was kissing him and clapping. There was not one person at the dinner who did not know how much Harry and Sev wanted that little baby.

Arthur came and clapped him into a hug. "Another grandchild is always amazing news. I know you have your dads but you know we always will..."

Harry cut him off with his own hug. "I know and I wouldn't have it any other way. Since Sev has no living family you can be the second set of grandparents."

That brought a slight snort from Sev and a few of the Weasleys who thought the idea of Severus being an adopted member of their family was funny but it was a good laugh. Severus had never imagined he'd be a part of this family but because of his husband he did have a place here and a number of kids calling him Uncle.

Hermione came over to him. "Well I hope I get to be Aunt Mione. You are the only brother I have and the closest thing to being an Aunt that I will ever be."

Harry knew that Viktor was an only child as well. "You do know though that means you will be on baby sitting and diaper duty for us? As the Aunt that is your job."

For a moment she joked that she was reconsidering her request but she broke into a huge smile. Both she and Viktor assured Harry that they would be thrilled to ask to baby sit from time to time when his baby came.

Harry looked at everyone. "Well I think we have stolen the spotlight enough from the birthday boy. I happen to think Geraint might want to open some of his gifts."

Rodger scooped his son from Harry. "You're probably right. He was making a break for them every few minutes before you arrived."

Since dinner at the manor was an early birthday dinner for Blaise for it would be too hard when it was later in the week, Harry and Severus who had originally talked their way out of going had agreed to come for dessert to the house after the party. Harry and Blaise were quite close and he thought he should be there for his future brother in law's birthday dinner. They left the party at the Weasleys after a few hours and arrived at the Zaibini house shortly before dessert hi the table.

With all of the snake friends there Harry found that once again he had a thrilled audience when he announced the pregnancy. Even Maria and Carlos were happy and called wine, and cider for Harry.

Blaise admitted his fiancé had told him. "I hope you don't hold it against your brother. I am so happy for you though."

Harry shook his head. "I had no doubt he would tell his fiancé the news. I would have been surprised if he hadn't."

Seeing his friends and the Weasleys and his dads and brother Harry was again it with this amazing sense of how loved this little baby would be between his family and friends. He and his husband would love the baby more then life itself but he knew this baby would never doubt as he had, that he or she was loved.

Severus as always knew what his husband was thinking and kissed him. "No matter what you have a family now who love you and this little one will as well."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

October brought the wedding of Blaise and Draco Halloween weekend. It was the first of three weddings for Harry that year as his Aunt was to wed in the end of November and then Hermione at Christmas. Harry and Severus had their first sonogram middle of October and their little one was progressing. For an accurate test of the gender they had to wait another month till mid November but they were excited.

Harry stood next to Draco who was beaming. "I have never seen you this happy before big brother. How come I had to walk down the aisle and you don't?"

Draco elbowed him in the ribs. "Because you married a cradle robber and my groom is three months younger then I am."

The wedding was being held at Zaibini manor for there was a beautiful deciduous forest on the back few acres which had a huge open clearing as well which was big enough for the ceremony. They had wanted to marry at Halloween because of the beautiful falling leaves and the special night. The over a hundred guests sat in chairs among the beautiful red, gold and orange leaves. There was a beautiful arch of the same colored roses under which Harry and Draco stood with the minister as first Vince and then Blaise with both his parents came down the aisle.

The minister after an ancient Celtic blessing as they had opted for the traditional bond vows. "We are gathered here today to unite these two men in holy bond."

He turned to Draco. "Do you Draco Lucius Malfoy take Blaise as your husband and bond, united in body, heart, soul and magic till death?"

"I do."

He turned to Blaise. "Do you Blaise Carlos Zaibini take Draco as your husband and bind, united in body, heart, soul and magic till death?"

"I do."

Harry handed a ring to Blaise. "Take this ring and claim my brother Draco as your husband as I stand witness."

Blaise slipped the ring on. "With this ring I claim you as my husband."

Vince handed a ring to Draco. "Take this ring and claim my friend Blaise as your husband as I stand witness."

Draco slid the ring next to the engagement ring. "With this ring I claim you as my husband."

The minister smile. "I now pronounce you husbands. Draco kiss your husband."

The minister performed the same wine ritual done with Harry and Severus on their wedding day and then Harry and Vince were called up with the grooms to sign the wedding contracts to make it legal.

Finally." May I present to you for the first time Misters Draco and Blaise Zaibini-Malfoy."

There was a huge amount of clapping for the new couple who both decided to hyphenate their name and their kids would as well for they were both heirs of their family, and Harry got to hug his brother and Blaise to congratulate them first. Technically there were three Malfoy children but Emma would take her husband's name usually and Harry had already become a Snape, well he hyphenated but his children would be pure Snapes.

Lucius and Remus came over with the Zaibinis. "Two children down and one more to go. At least our princess will give us some years to recover first though."

Harry laughed and scooped his little sister up. "I guess two weddings in just over a year was a lot. But I am sure my one year old sister will give you a long wait."

As they headed for the reception Harry just laughed at the thought of his dads when their baby got married. But he was reminded that his husband was their age and when their own children married Severus would have plenty of gray hair as well.

Severus came to his side as they came to the reception area. "Looking at this are you sad we did not have a more formal wedding."

Harry smirked at is husband. "Definitely not. This is beautiful but I am more then happy with the beautiful summer wedding and simplicity we had."

Instead of a tent a beautiful birch arbour that was covered in thousands of the beautiful fall leaves and climbing vines with faerie lights in them as well, was covering both the tables and the dance floor in the middle with a head table for the families of both grooms. Though the coloring of the reception was done in Slytherin colors mixed with some of the fall, there was a definite under theme of Halloween. The table clothes were a deep green but had a beautiful intricate spider web detail of solver over it. The center pieces were roses like the arch but were in mini jack o lanterns. The food was all very harvest theme with lovely local cuisine like stuffed goose and cooked yams, and fresh corn on the cob and pumpkin soup. Even one layer of the wedding cake was pumpkin flavour though the rest was chocolate or vanilla cake. The cake was decorated in the most amazing hand crafted candy flowers and leaves to follow the theme.

Harry went to his brother before he and Blaise eventually took off for their two nights in Dublin as they would have a honeymoon after Christmas at the same time Hermione and Viktor went and Harry and Sev would go to Morocco.

Harry hugged both of then. "I am so happy for the two of you. Welcome to the family finally official Blaise."

Blaise clapped him in a hug. "Unofficially I have been a member longer then you little brother. But I am happy this guy made an honest man of me finally."

Laughing Draco hugged his husband in for a kiss and soon they were being whisked away for their honeymoon. It was a Friday but the Malfoys and Severus had been excused from classes that day for Draco's wedding so the happy couple would be gone until Sunday evening The reception was still going on and Harry and his husband stayed for another hour but they headed home. Harry unfortunately had a quidditch game the next day, both his teams were playing so he could not miss so they headed back to school but his dads came as well.

Harry was coming out of the bathroom for bed when he suddenly felt light headed. "Sev?" he called before he slumped to the floor.
