Harry had it easy with his first pregnancy he realized. Within a week of learning about his second the morning sickness struck him like a train. He could have done without the early morning wake up calls but he had to admit when it was over he took such pleasure in it. Just knowing that there was that little life in him again felt amazing. The first sonogram just over a month after he found out he was pregnant, they were again in tears but of happiness as they heard the baby's heart beat.

Harry was in tears on the morning of his birthday as he looked at his belly. "It really is today?"

Severus kissed him tenderly on the belly. "It really is today. Today we have our first ultrasound and we get to see our beautiful baby for the first time."

They had actually passed the three month mark a few days before but decided to wait. They could not think of a better way to celebrate his birthday then having an ultrasound. This time Harry had finally convinced his dads to celebrate the anniversary and birthday in one go. Harry and Severus were going away, only to France this time, but not till later in August after the birth of Harry's nephew. Even if they had not been chosen as godfathers they would never have missed the birth.

Severus drew him out of bed. "We should go and have a shower and change. And before you groan you were the one who wanted the first appointment of the day."

Harry smiled. "I wanted to present our ultrasound picture at our party later. Besides you know if everyone is awake when we go, we will have an audience."

Though Harry loved his family and could not wait to show off the picture they had decided to go alone. Severus knew the dads already knew. They had known Harry had put off having the ultrasound for a reason. After loosing Jamie two weeks before he could have an ultrasound they were still a bit surprised he had waited. Severus understood. His husband would not allow a fear to ruin his happiness. He and Severus were doing everything to ensure this baby grew safe and strong in him.

Harry came out of the shower and his hands went to his stomach as they instinctively always seemed to do. "I get to see him today."

Severus kissed him. "We get to see our little one today yes. But we don't know yet my love if it will be another little boy or a girl this time."

He knew his husband would be happy with either. There was a time when Harry had wanted a daughter as deeply as Severus did. They had hoped when the found out about Jamie for a little girl. But now he knew there was a part of his husband who was hoping for a little boy. Severus admitted he was 50/50 now like never before.

Severus took him to the fireplace. "I for one am just glad my love that you are going in on your feet and not being carried in this time."

Harry took the floo powder. "I just hope my morning sickness stays at bay like it has this week. I do not want to have to use a bed pan to throw up in."

Laughing Severus reminded his husband that in the hospitals they did not use something so muggle. But he also reminded Harry he could not blame their baby. Harry had never taken to floo travel well. But Harry had not had morning sickness in nearly a week. He had to admit he would rather not see his husband sick again either.

Harry was a bit dizzy when they got out but still on his feet. "I guess another year older and a bit better at travel. It only took me turning nineteen."

Severus smiled and steered him towards the nurse's station to check in. "Maybe in another decade or so you will not look green around the gills any more."

Elbowing his husband Harry reminded him of his threat to put Severus on diaper duty. Severus really did not think right now it would be too bad. They were both so excited about this little one that they were even looking forward to diapers. They had even offered to baby-sit soon for their new nephew to get in practice. Emma was two now and past the diapers stage. Lucius and Remus had revealed they were trying for another but at their age and with Remus' curse, they had been lucky to have got pregnant the first time around. They could not risk contraceptive spells with a male pregnancy. Harry knew they would not be too hurt if it did not happen. They'd be too busy enjoying their grandchildren.

The same healer who had told them they were pregnant appeared when Harry was on the table. "I must say that you look far better then the last time I saw you."

Harry smiled. "You should have seen me last week when I still had morning sickness. But I agree it feels much better this time."

The healer started preparing him for the ultrasound. Harry had the sonogram done by Poppy at the two month mark. If it was the school year she would have done the ultrasound as well. She could only do a spell. Oddly the muggle ultrasound machine actually gave a better accurate picture with the new 3D technology they had.

The healer smiled when he brought the picture up. "And there is your beautiful baby. And by the looks of it you have a strong healthy heart beat."

Harry was sobbing and his husband was no better. "My little one. My little sweet baby. Is it a boy or a girl healer?"

The man took a moment and then smiled. "I am happy to tell you that you're expecting a very healthy baby boy."

Though Severus had thought he still wanted a daughter the most he had to admit he was just as thrilled with the news as his husband. He still wanted his little girl. He would always be that kind of man who a daughter would be his princess and wrapped about his finger. But after losing Jamie it felt so right to have a son. He kissed his husband and his own face had tears flowing down the cheeks.

The healer handed them several copies of the pictures. "I remember you telling me of your original loss. I am happy this pregnancy is doing so well for you."

Harry thanked the doctor and turned to his husband. "Do we have a little time to shop before we head home? I'd like to buy a bit of blue."

Severus kissed him. "It is your birthday my love. We can be as late as we want to the party. Besides I think we need to get some food in both of you."

Reminded that they had not eaten before they left so he was not ill for the travel, Harry realized he was actually quite hungry. It was a nice change. After months of morning sickness it was good to have an appetite and more then that to know he would actually keep the food down. He never wanted to see a saltine ever again.

At breakfast Severus handed him a gift. "I had to do a bit of color change but I wanted to give this to you this morning after the ultrasound."

Harry opened the gift and the tears came again. "Thank you Sev. This is perfect."

There was a beautiful triple frame which he knew the first picture would be the ultrasound photo. Severus put it in it as Harry looked at the rest of the gift. There was a beautiful chenille blanket which had been green waiting to find out if it needed to be pink or blue. There was also a velveteen rabbit. Both had been turned to blue.

Harry kissed his husband. "This is the kind of birthday gift and celebration I enjoy. Could we not just run away and avoid the rest?"

Severus shook his head. "No my love, we can not. I remind you that it is our anniversary party as well and they'd probably hunt us down if we don' show up."

Sometimes it amazed them both they had been married, well as of tomorrow, for two years. They still felt like honeymooners at times. They had been away on a romantic second honeymoon for their anniversary this time last year. Harry was not disappointed that their trip had to wait this time.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Though tempted to stay away a bit longer Harry and Severus arrived on time for the party at the manor. After the Morocco theme last year neither of them knew what to expect this time around. It had been inspired by their trip had had been meant for Christmas. Morocco was where their new son was conceived so it had been special for many reasons. Harry was never disappointed by his fathers when they threw a party for him, other then his desire for them not to go over board with it.

Harry was amazed when they walked into the back garden and looked around. "I guess our vacations they have decided as a constant theme for our parties."

Severus laughed. "I think your brother and his husband were a bit sorry we had to put off our trip until the end of the month and not go away tomorrow."

They looked like they were in Paris as the grass had been transformed to look like it was one of the old brick streets of Paris and all the tables to sit at were French bistro tables. There were topiary trees that were transformed into almost exact replicas of French monuments like the Arc de triumph and the Eiffel tower. There was a birthday cake which looked bigger then some wedding cakes, shaped like the Notre Dame cathedral and he could even see a bell ringer in the tower.

He saw his dads coming over from among the guests. "You do realize we are only spending a day or two in Paris. We'll be at the manor in Marseilles after."

Lucius hugged his son. "We knew but the manor was not much of a theme unless we tried to turn this place into a vineyard though we did a bit of that as well."

Beyond the trees in an area where there was a dance floor as there was music he could see they were right. There were some wine barrels for people to sit on when they tired and the stage had a base of one. And there were vines hanging in the air above it like it were a canopy.

Remus kissed his cheek. "We thought you would join us for breakfast this morning. Where were you?"

Harry smiled as his brother came over. "Can we get everyone here to come over so we don't need to repeat this more then once?"

Most of the guests had guessed where they were. Like his dads the fact that Harry was at the three month mark had not gone unnoticed. They knew he had been waiting for the ultrasound. Everyone when they arrived and saw Harry was not there had guessed he was likely away having one.

Severus saw his husband wanted him to do the honours so he did. "We had our ultrasound this morning and we are expecting a healthy baby boy."

Harry showed the ultrasound picture and the rabbit his husband had given him. "In January I will finally have a little boy in my arms."

Everyone was so happy for the couple. Lucius had known that Severus had wanted a daughter the first time but he could see that had changed. It seemed again the Gods were blessing them. Like finding the weekend they should have had Jamie in their arms, they were pregnant again, this was another sign. This was a sign that things would be good for them this time around and that they both deserved this little boy. Severus had told his husband when they lost Jamie that their son was just not ready for life. Now they were being blessed with a son, a son that would be ready for life this time.

Draco clapped him into a hug. "Our little boys are going to be more like brothers then cousins you know. I am so happy they are both little boys."

Harry handed him a copy of the ultrasound for they had ones for his dads and Molly and Arthur as well. "I would not have it any other way Draco."

Barely even able to be in a room without hexing each other when they first met, things had definitely changed. Much of that had been because of the Malfoy role as spies. Now Draco and Harry were not just best friends and legal brothers. They were closer then some twins were. Much of what Harry suffered over the years had caused the bond between the two brothers to strengthen. No one would have thought they had not grown up together. And Sev knew their sons would be as close.

Hermione came over to him. "You should not be too disappointed. I know you hate gifts but most of the gifts here are baby gifts for your son, you know."

Harry hugged her and Viktor. "Thank you guys for being here. And I think I can happily handle some gifts for my little boy. He needs more then I do."

He was hoping as he saw the pile and started opening some of them that this might mean he would not have to endure a baby shower later on. He knew though with his family and friends he would not be so lucky. He knew there would definitely be one. But his husband reminded him when they found out he was pregnant again that Harry had said he wanted it all. He had listed baby shower in the list. Harry knew he was right. And he wanted it. He wanted to have all the normal things.

They were just finishing a fine late French lunch when Draco came over to him. "Harry I have a very different birthday and anniversary gift for you then intended."

Harry looked at Blaise who he realized was as white as a ghost. "My nephew? You're giving birth to my nephew?"

Blaise nodded. "The contractions started about ten minutes ago. I hope you don't mind sharing your birthday with your nephew."

Harry laughed. "It means that maybe the family attention will be on your son and not me next year. I am thrilled. Now we need to get you to the hospital."

Though Harry felt a bit bad about leaving his own party he had to o. He could not be any where but at the hospital when his nephew was born. His dads assured him it was okay and they actually were of course coming as well. The other guests promised to see the gifts into the gate house and see themselves away. They more then understood the family running off to be with the new dads to be at the hospital with the couple.

In the sitting room at the hospital Remus looked at Harry. "You could have stayed for the rest of the party. It will likely be hours."

Harry smirked. "It is my party and I can leave it if I want to. Besides you never know when Blaise might need someone to go and get ice chips for him."

Laughing his dads reminded him there was a husband and nursing staff and magic to do that but they knew Harry would never have stayed behind. Even if the baby was born the next day he would stay here for his brother and Blaise. Even if the party had not already disbanded back home there was no sending him back.

Severus squeezed his husband's hand. "I doubt it will take more then an hour or so. First time male labour usually does not last long. If he is lucky."

Remus smiled at Emma. "She was not so long to make her entrance into the world but I believe Narcissa said she was in labour for 24hours. But she is female."

There were always exceptions either way. Harry hoped for his brother and brother in law's sake that Blaise was not in labour for too long. He knew it would be him in six months time and he hoped he would not be in labour too long either. He had the comfort that his baby was a Malfoy in every way but by blood and he hoped the blood might be in his favour.

About two hours later a nurse came out. "The proud new daddies would like you to come in now."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Draco and his husband were both in bed together and a small bundle of blue was in Draco's arms now. They learned the baby was born about an hour before, but the daddies had been given some time to nurse and to bond with their son before company came in. The family of course understood that.

Blaise looked at them. "Come in and meet your precious new grandson, nephew, and godson."

Harry beamed as he was handed the baby by his brother. "This is so amazing. I know I am Uncle to the Weasley kids but this is different. This is so amazing."

Remembering the tears when they had told Harry they were pregnant they were so happy to see him like this. They knew the news he had his own son on the way definitely made it easier. Harry had been genuinely happy for them from the start but it was very obvious this time.

Lucius reached for his first born grandson. "Let me and Remus have our turn while you have a chance to sign the paper work as the godfathers of your nephew."

Harry reluctantly handed his nephew over. "Go and see your new grandfather little one."

Both Remus and Lucius were beaming as they looked at their first born grandchild. This time next year they would have two little grandsons to run around after. The image made their smiles grow. They were so happy for Draco and Blaise who they had never seen as happy as they were right now.

Severus finished signing the papers. "And what name have you two chosen for the newest member of the Malfoy family."

Blaise reminded him. "And Zaibini though I am sad my parents are away for another two days. We have named our son Dante Chiron Malfoy-Zaibini."

The Zaibinis had spent much of Blaise's life in Italy when he was little as his family was from there originally on his mother's side and they took Dante from the Zaibini family tree. Chiron was a minor planet in the outer solar system and honoured Draco's Black family roots, including his mother and brother who was Lord Black since he came of age. They had decided since the baby had two daddies the could not choose between them for the honour of the middle name.

Author note: Dante (Latin) everlasting was inspired by Dante's Inferno as well since Draco means dragon (fire). Link to the Italian heritage mentioned of Blaise.

Chiron (Greek) hand. Chiron was the centaur who helped train Hercules and other Greek heroes like Jason. Chiron is not only the name of an asteroid in the centaur asteroid group but is also a minor planet of the outer solar system, once mistakenly believed a moon of Saturn. Fulfills both Black traditions of names from Greek myth or from Space. Draco comes from it but also Narcissa and of course Uncle Harry is now Lord Black.
