Harry and Star were off to London for the day. His husband had been right and Harry had not been able to stay away from work. He had yet to reclaim his office but Jack was more then happy to supply Harry with a ton of research and paper work to help them out with the dives. When ever Star was napping he was usually pouring over the books and papers. He had decided to take the last batch in person to the office that day instead of by owl as he was also having dinner with Draco and Hermione who were already planning their wedding. They were going to wed at Easter time so they could take the week for vacation as they were off from studies. They would have had more time at Christmas but decided not to copy Harry and Lucius.

The department he worked at in Malfoy industries had of course heard about his daughter's birth but none had seen Star. He had been such a work aholic the previous summer he knew them all and they were excited to see the newest Malfoy. Even when he started work in the fall he would not be here for the first six months though as he would be doing his curse breaking course with Bill at Gringotts. It could take as long as a year but Bill thought with his skill likely around six months.

Jack's assistant smiled when he came in. "Harry, we are so happy to see you. And this must be the future boss of the company?"

Harry laughed though he knew it might very well be true. "This is Ophelia Eleanor Malfoy, better known though as Star."

The entire office was soon gathered around. Star was sleeping so he did not remove her from her carry seat but everyone got a good look at her. There were a few jokes he should have named her for the ocean and not the sky but it was all good natured. Harry had not grown tired of showing off his precious daughter.

Jack finally appeared. "I should have known. Who else would have been causing such a distraction? If I had known this would happen I'd have said no visits."

Harry knew he was joking. "You know you're talking to the future ceo or co-ceo of the company with her brother. Keep talking and I will reconsider the job offer."

Now it was Jack's turn to know he was joking. He had never met someone as interested in their field of work since him. Harry not only had a talent but a passion. There was not one person on his team who was not aware Jack had taken Harry as his protégé. He wanted to groom Harry to take over one day. His older team members were not insulted. Most of them preferred the field work and being away. None of them were interested in all the paper work of running the department. As a Malfoy it seemed fitting Harry would. But any doubts that people had when he started last summer about him earning the position, had disappeared.

Jack handed Harry a gift. "A bit insulted you did not name her Jackie or something sea related but we will forgive you. Thanks for doing that research for us."

Harry handed it over in return. "Thanks for the gift. And to be honest we considered Darwin for your boat if it was a boy as it also is a lunar crater name."

He was not joking of course as it had been in consideration for a little boy and it would still have honoured the space tradition. He smiled when he found three stuffed animals in the bag. There was a turtle, a dolphin and a squid. He really was not surprised of course. He was touched by the gift.

Harry eventually had to take his leave. "Her big brother and fiancé are waiting for the two of us for dinner. Her dad as well if he got away from the office early."

Lucius' voice came to him from behind. "That I did Harry. Now you're right we should be going or the others will be worried about where we have disappeared to."

Saying goodbye he handed his daughter off to his husband and they apparated to the townhouse. Hermione and Draco were living there as well as Blaise. Blaise was making good money working for his dad at his investment firm but he had still decided to take them up on their offer. He had not wanted to live alone just yet. He was not sure he would remain after they wed. He did not think he could handle the lovey dovey newlyweds. Even if he did know some good silencing spells he said.

Hermione beamed when they arrived. "Good timing you three. Dinner is about to arrive on the table as we speak."

Harry kissed her on the cheek. "Things have sure changed Mione. I do recall you were the founder of SPEW."

Laughing Hermione just shrugged her shoulders. She reminded Harry that she had seen that not all house elves were mistreated. The Malfoys were actually quite kind to theirs. The treatment of Dobby had been a show. Lucius had wanted to free him in order to protect Harry. She still preferred cooking though when she had the time. She knew though that when she started her studies in the fall as well as continuing the internship she had this summer, she would not have a lot of extra time.

Draco and Blaise were in the dinning room"Hey dad and Harry. How is my little Star?"

Harry smiled and put his daughter's carry seat down into the stand his husband conjured for it. "Sleeping like an angel and I'd like to keep it that way for a bit."

They knew that Lucius had trouble getting his husband to eat properly. Severus had been supplying nutrient potions for him. Harry was usually nursing at meal time. He did not even now allow his husband to feed her a bottle very often. She was usually in a better mood when she nursed. Lucius often complained the only time he got to feed her a bottle was in the middle of the night when his husband had no desire to get out of bed. They knew he was joking for he enjoyed being hands on.

Lucius sat down. "So any news on the wedding plans over there? You know that you guys really should consider the wedding planner that I have offered you."

Draco shared a smile with his fiancé. "We are considering it. We have not really made any decisions other then being at Easter in early April."

They had been considering a number of locations and were seriously considering Harry's suggestion and offer. He had thought Black Crest Manor; their home in Cornwall would be a beautiful place for the wedding. At that time in April it would be quite lovely and being married with the ocean in the back ground would add to that for them. The manor was as large as Malfoy manor or nearly and though not used when Harry was there before, there was a huge ballroom for a reception as well.

Harry looked over at Blaise. "I know that your career has been going well but I have not heard any news on your personal life. Any new women or men in your life?"

Blaise blushed for he had not really come out of the closet to too many people. Oddly Harry was the first. "I have been seeing a guy for a few weeks now."

He had told Draco and Hermione, and his other close friends in the past few months. His parents had known for a few years. They had no problem with their only son and heir being gay. As long as he would still make them grandparents the were happy. All they wanted was for their son to be happy. Blaise had shared a kiss with a younger student in February. He had told Harry as he knew between himself being gay and his dads; he would not have a problem. Even in the wizarding world where such things were actually common because of male pregnancies, come wizards were still a bit worried about coming out. Old blood families used to frown on it.

Harry smiled. "You know I'd like to meet him some time. Perhaps when Lucius and I get back in the fall from Cornwall and then our trip to the Caribbean."

Blaise was still blushing a bit but he nodded. "I'd like that. Jeff has been asking to meet some of my friends. Draco and Mione have been on me to bring him over."

They had been working together at the firm. His father had been more then simply supportive of his son's life style choice. He had introduced the two. Jeff was an American actually but had come over to work for them. He worked in the same department as Blaise and they had a lot in common. Harry could tell as he listened to him talk he was quite happy with his new boyfriend. They had only been seeing each other for two weeks but Draco confided that they went out every night.

They ended up staying in London for it was his little sister's first birthday the next day. The three of them stayed at Grimmauld place to be close to his dads and sister. The night after dinner Star had woken up in the middle of the night and after a feeding she had refused to go down. He had not wanted to wake his husband or dads so he was down on the main floor pacing with Star trying to get her to sleep.

He sighed. "Maybe we should go to the town house Star, your big brother always gets you to sleep. Maybe we should hire him as your nanny."

He had not expected response but he got one. "Maybe I might not have the touch of her big brother but how about giving Grandpa Remus a shot here."

Harry turned to see his dad had come down the stairs and sent an apologetic look at him. He had hoped by bringing her down here that he would not have wakened the rest of the family. His little sister might have been a year old and sleeping nights now but still she could be a hand full. He had not wanted to add to that.

Remus shook his head. "You know that I love helping with by beautiful little granddaughter here. You know me and Sirius are in need of some practice again."

Harry's head shot up. "Already? I knew you guys were going to start trying this summer because you wanted them close in age but I am surprised."

Smiling Remus confirmed though he swore Harry to secrecy for he had sworn Sirius could give the big news. They had only found out the day before. Sirius had collapsed when he had been at work. His work was physical enough that with both babies they had found out extremely early on. Sirius had from what the healer said got pregnant at the start of July. They had expected it to take longer so they had started at the beginning of June.

Remus smiled. "Your new little brother or sister is due in the start of April so just before Draco's wedding. Three months short of Lara's second birthday."

Harry was so happy. "You guys wanted it like that or close. Will make them closer as they grow up. Especially if you have a second little girl."

Though Sirius and Remus would have been delighted with a son they still were hoping for pink. They had their son, they loved Harry more then life. They thought it might be easier to have two little girls. Harry was right about them being closer growing up. Pink or blue though both men were absolutely delighted by this.

Harry watched as his daughter drifted off. "Little brother or sister they will be just as lucky as Lara and I are. Do I get to name this little one as well?"

Remus nodded. "Well we thought this time we might help you name the baby but we'd like you and your husband to be the godfathers as well."

He had considered waiting to tell his son until his birthday and he was not sure if Sirius would tell Harry before then. They had debated between the next day and his birthday. He told Sirius he would be happy with either option. Harry as he took his daughter to take her to bed, assured his dad he would not say anything to even his husband until his dads made the official announcement.

Lucius woke as he slid back into bed. "Up again was she?"

Harry rested his head against his husband. "She was. I happen to think she just likes to look at her nickname namesake. She sure does like the night time."

Kissing his husband Lucius reminded Harry he was happy to help when their daughter woke up. Harry knew his husband was right but he had not wanted to wake him. Lucius had sworn when they had children he would be hands on. He had regretted not being able to with Draco. He had definitely kept his promise. He had always been a very loving daddy and was always there for diapers, burps, midnight feedings and more.

Harry drifted off and to his relief it was not until breakfast time when Star woke again and he could nurse her at the table. He looked across the table at his little sister who was trying to feed herself much to the chagrin of Sirius. She had got more food on him then on herself or her mouth.

Sirius just shook his head with laughter. "It's her birthday and she can make a mess if she wants to."

Remus came over with some eggs. "That might be Sirius but you're the one who will be giving her a bath after that. And cleaning the floor."

Smirking Sirius reminded his husband they had a house elf. They had never had one to take care of Lara. Sirius was on maternity leave until recently and now Remus was still home all the time. He was able to write when she was napping when younger and now while she was playing a well. Both men loved being hands on as much as Lucius. Kreacher would clean the floor but Sirius was more then happy to take his daughter up for a bath.

Before he did though he looked at his son. "Your father and I have an early birthday gift for you and one for Lara. I am two weeks pregnant with our third child."

Harry did as promised and acted surprised and was just as thrilled as the first time he heard the news. "This is so awesome. You know Lara will be just as excited."

She was a bit too young to understand the concept of her dad being pregnant but they would explain as he got bigger. Since she would be nearly two when her sister or brother was born, Lara would definitely be excited by the prospect. She already was very fond of Star and he knew she'd love having a baby in the house/

Lucius took his daughter. "How about we go take these two for a bath Sirius? I am sure you could use some practice with a newborn again, we can switch."

Though Star was two months old now she was much closer so Sirius was definitely smiling. "I think I could handle bathing my beautiful little granddaughter."

Remus and Harry shared a smile and a laugh as they watched the men go off. They had considered a birthday on the coast but they were doing it for Harry. Harry's dads had been invited by Lucius and accepted to come for those two weeks in August before they headed off for their second honeymoon. Lara loved animals as did the Weasley grandkids who were coming so they had decided to take the kids to a muggle zoo after having lunch here at the house. The Tonks were all coming as well as the Weasley family and even Moody was coming. Draco and Hermione were coming as well.

Draco and Hermione were the first to arrive for lunch. "You know with dad and now Mione I spent tons of time in the muggle world but have never been to a zoo."

Harry laughed. "I went once when my cousin turned eleven years old. That is when I set the snake on him."

He had told his friends the story and they all broke into laughter with the memory. Luna had come that day for the party as well for she was close with Harry and his little sister she was very fond of. She and Hermione were the only other ones who had been to the zoo before. Inspired by the location for the party most of Lara's birthday gifts were animal themed. Harry among his gifts had given her a number of animal bath toys but no one was surprised by his other gift.

Sirius kissed his son. "How could I have known that you would give your little sister her first broom? And quidditch set as well."

Harry shrugged. "She might be my sister but I am also her godfather. And I recall getting my first baby broom and later my last two brooms from mine."

Sirius knew his son was right and agreed. He had given baby Harry his and before Harry knew him had sent him his firebolt. His current broom he and Remus had given Harry for his sixteenth birthday when they had also adopted him to make the family finally officially. Harry got not only got her a broom but her first quidditch robes and some little play balls.

Harry and Lucius were happy when they arrived at Dagger Cove. The last time they had been there it was the first real travel other then Paris for his dads' wedding. He had been totally amazed by the resort. Their last night was when Lucius had suggested they come here for the honeymoon. And Harry had actually considered it.

As he was leading his husband and Star inside Lucius kissed him. "The weekend before you start work we're going for another trip."

Harry looked at his husband. "You are taking me here and now you are taking me on another trip. I thought we decided Cornwall was enough."

There was five days between their return from here and when Harry would need to start work at Gringotts as they had left earlier then planned on this trip. Lucius had remembered a conversation he had with Harry before they were engaged. He was not sure his husband would remember.

He kissed Harry. "You asked me the night Lara was born where I would take you after graduation if any where. I told you Italy for Venice and Rome."

Harry remembered the talk. "I remember you saying that but with Egypt at Christmas and coming here I did not think we would."

He reminded his husband that Blaise's parents had a home in Rome and they were going to spend three days there, after a day back in London. They would go to see their second wonder, the Coliseum, and spend a day in Venice as well. By the end of the year Harry would have seen three of the new ancient wonders. The original ancient wonders were all destroyed except the Great Pyramid but the Great wall and the Coliseum were in the new list.

The same desk manager was there to welcome them and smiled. "The presidential suite is ready for you Lord Malfoy and your beautiful family this time."

Lucius thanked the man and with Star in his arms he led Harry to follow the man. "I thought we could have a nice replay of the first night we were here."

They had brought Dobby with them. One of the best things about a wizard and not a muggle resort was no one would think that it was odd that the baby was never with them or not very often. Dobby would be happy to take care of the baby when they were enjoying some of the romance and excitement of the last time.

Dobby appeared to take their daughter as a little nursery area was established and Lucius pulled his husband in for a long passionate kiss. "Ready for some fun?"

Harry smiled as his husband once again removed their clothes with his wand as last time. "I think I could be convinced to let you ravish me again and again."

Definitely far more romantic then last time they definitely enjoyed making love. Harry had only started to admit he cared about Lucius last time though he had enjoyed the sex. Now he was madly in love with and married to the man. And their beautiful daughter was just living proof of that for them.

Harry was not surprised later when lobster and wine was waiting for them out on the patio. "Really wanted to relive that night didn't you?"

Lucius corrected him. "I wanted to recreate that night for us but make it more special for the two of us at the same time."

They toasted over the wine, well in Harry's case he had bottled water for he was nursing and they danced under the stars. This time Lucius did not lead him straight back to bed though for their daughter was in need of a nurse and they wanted to put her to bed themselves. They would not have had it any other way.
