The Weasleys minus their two youngest and Charlie who was on his honeymoon and had left before they found out, arrived in the morning. With permission from his dad and from Harry\s, Draco told them the whole truth before they went up to the bedroom. Remus and Sirius knew the twins had known and they had no doubt the Weasleys who had come would not think less of Harry. They needed to understand what they were walking in on and dealing with.
Molly sunk down on the bed next to Harry as Lucius moved to let her, and kissed his brow. "Oh Harry, you need to fight for us sweety. You know we need you."
Arthur had come to his wife's side. "You know we love you no matter what as a son and we need you to come back. You're a fighter."
Fred went over to Lucius and the dads as his parents were with Harry and he and George and Bill went into the next bedroom to speak to them. They knew Harry could use their parents and the girls right now and Percy stayed as well.
Remus looked up. "Thank you, Fred and George. Lucius told us about your support to our son. After the contract and then when you found out about his Uncle."
George smiled. "He is out little brother and nothing changes that. He needed someone to desperately talk to and we weren't about to turn our back on him."
Sirius put his hand on his belly. "I can't believe I did that to my own son. You two stood by him and look at your parents and brothers now. I did this to my son."
Fred spoke up, "I won't say you two did not act like jack asses from what I heard but if we were his dad I guess most of us would have done the same."
Bill though had to ask. "What was he doing on your horse though? I mean did he not know that the horse was wild?"
Lucius had looked into it and found that his horse had been brought in from the paddock and had his bridle on. The stable hand had gone to fetch a curry brush for the horse and when he came back he found Thunder gone. From what they could guess Harry had been so upset and had seen the horse with a bridle and instead of pausing to find his own horse, he had taken off on Thunder. He must not have been thinking in his pain for he knew how dangerous the big black was.
Severus sighed. "I should have not warded the door and we should have gone after him right away. I thought we needed to calm these two first but maybe..."
George shook his head. "The guilt trip the four of you are playing will not help Harry. Harry needs us all, even Lucius, by his side giving him our love."
Fred agreed with his twin. "I think we should consider getting Luna here if he does not wake in a day or so. He needs his best friends as much as his family."
Remus and Sirius had asked if the problems between Harry and Ron and Ginny had anything to do with Lucius. They knew things were bad if the two had refused to come when they found out Harry might die. Everyone shot that down saying that Harry had come out and it had angered them both. They had accused him of leading Ginny on and had insinuated he was having an affair with Draco.
Sirius looked at Lucius. "You stood with my son through that and through the molestation?"
Lucius nodded. "I love him. What his Uncle did does not change that. I know you hate this and I have yet to convince Harry to love me, but I'm not giving up."
Remus looked at the twins and saw their acceptance and had known from the stories that he twins had encouraged Harry to accept the care and concern of Lucius and allow him in to take care of him and help him.
Remus turned to look at Lucius. "We will not encourage him into your arms like the twins seem to, but if he chooses to be with you later, we will support him."
Sirius shared a look with his husband and then stood and offered his hand to Lucius. "I hate how you did this to him but I can be big enough to see how you care."
Lucius accepted the offered hand. "I want him but I also want him happy. That is why I invited you for holidays. You and that little baby are everything to him."
They all hoped that they could bring him back and if for nothing else then the well known desire of Harry to be a big brother. They knew how badly he wanted his little brother or sister. It was why his dad's words had hurt so bad for they had in their anger, threatened to cut him off, never allow him in their home.
Lucius looked at the Weasleys. "Rooms have been made up for you in the manor. If he does not wake in the next few days we will bring Luna here as well."
George nodded. "He calls her his little sister. She is the only one he ever told about the beatings before Lucius, other then Albus. She really should be here with him."
No one wanted to disturb her holiday but they knew the twins made sense and Bill offered to go and send an owl to the Lovegoods and see if it was possible for Luna to join them at the manor. The others agreed.
Lucius walked back to the bedroom but stood in the door and watched Molly. "Maybe we should leave them. Molly is the closest thing to a mother he has ever had."
Remus nodded. "You know her and Lily met a few times in the hospital when both pregnant. I think Lily would be happy to know Molly is here caring for her son."
The two of them stood in the doorway, joined by Sirius, for a time watching as Molly sung to Harry, a son which her husband and sons knew was the lullaby she had sung to all of her children when they were small. It broke all of their hearts to watch and also to know it should have been Lily there comforting her son.

Luna and her father arrived the next morning for they had been away on a trip but neither of them would have been any where but there. Luna cried as she sunk down on the bed next to Harry and she stayed there for hours just talking to him with Draco and Hermione.
Severus watched and he turned to Sirius. "I have an idea. You are already really at the mark for an ultrasound. We could have Poppy come and do one."
Sirius looked at his belly. "You think the sound of the babies heart beat and the promise of seeing his new sister or brother, might help?"
Severus nodded. "The hypothermia is gone and the head injury has healed. It is nothing but the lack of will to come back, keeping him. Give him something."
Remus smiled and nodded and thought even if it did not work right away the sound of them telling about the gender and talking names, might help encourage their son to come back to them. Poppy was floo called and she promised to come right away to do the test.
Luna looked up a bit surprised when Harry's fathers came in and was even more surprised when she heard why. "It might work. I know how excited he has been."
Sirius was propped up on the bed next to his son. "I know he is hoping for a little sister. You must be such a good little sister he wants another one."
Luna smiled and squeezed Harry's hand. "If it is a little girl she will be so lucky to have you Harry. You\re such an amazing big brother to me."
Poppy began to run the spell but she ran a sonogram as well so the sound of the baby's heart beat could be heard. Luna was amazed when she felt her brother's hand squeeze her hand when they told him it was a heart beat. Then the image of the baby appeared in a spell above his belly.
Remus looked at his son. "You know the photographs from the spell are never as good Harry. You should really wake and see this."
Sirius turned to his son. "Look his eyes are moving a bit. We need to keep talking. Come on Harry wake up. You want to find out if it is a sister or brother."
Remus nodded at Poppy who after a moment smiled. "It seems the big brother has got his wish. You two are expecting a healthy little girl."
Sirius kissed his son. "You hear that you got a sister on the way. Now you have to wake. Who is going to sing to her and teach her to ride a broom?"
Remus agreed. "And who is going to chase the boys away from her when she gets older? And you know we're going to name her something horrid like Iris if you don't wake and help us here."
They were starting to give up hope that he would wake up even after the squeeze of the hand but there was a slight moan from him and his eyes finally fluttered open and looked at them.
"No Iris. Over my dead body." Harry managed to croak.
Remus was in tears as he kissed his son's head. "Thank Merlin Harry. You scared us so bad. We thought we lost you."
Harry looked at his dads. "I thought you said you didn't want me anymore. You said I wasn't..."
Sirius shook his head. "We are so sorry cub. We were angry. We love you and we need our son, and your sister needs her big brother."
Harry stared in wonder at everyone in the room and he had tears in his eyes as he saw the Weasleys there and he saw Hermione and Draco, Luna of course still close by his side holding his hand.
Harry looked at Lucius and back at his dads. "You needed to let me explain. I can explain. I..."
This time Sirius cut him off. "Lucius told us Harry. The summer, your Uncle, the school year. We understand cub. And we're here and not leaving you."
Remus kissed him. "We have made peace with Lucius and seeing him with you the last days has proven that. We can see he cares about you. We'll support you."
Harry began sobbing. "I need you guys. I need you and my sister. I can't loose you. When you said that you didn't want me anymore I felt like..."
His voice trailed off and both his fathers gathered him into their arms holding him and reassuring their son that they were so sorry for what they had said to him and no matter what they would never stop being his dads and never cut him out of the life of their daughter. They assured him there was not one person in that room who was going to turn their back on him for anything they heard. Harry slowly calmed with their assurance and drifted off.
Poppy saw their concern and shook her head. "He is just asleep, no longer in a coma. It will take a few days at least before his strength is back up."
Remus took the pictures she had made from the ultrasound and conjured a frame for one and put it by Harry's bedside. "She is always with her big brother."
Poppy saw that everyone in the room looked as if they had not slept in days. "I am ordering all of you guys to get some sleep. He'll need you all more then before."
Everyone was reluctant to leave him but they agreed to take turns and Hermione and Draco took their watch with him as the others left. It took Severus and Remus to convince Sirius to leave his son's side and go get some sleep.
Draco kissed Hermione when they were alone. "I told you your best friend was too stubborn to stay away. He had too much to fight for."
Hermione returned the kiss. "I am just glad his fathers and yours were able to call a truce and be able to work together. He is going to need it as he gets better."
They knew that Harry was not out of the woods just yet and that he was going to need time to recover both physically and mentally from what had taken him out into the snow like that in the first place.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next few days were not easy. Harry and his fathers had several long talks about what they had said to him and about his past. He had been hurt badly from the way they had spoken to him and though he understood, it would take time for them to build his trust again. He noticed in the days that the Weasleys, Luna, Hermione and Draco and his dads, even Severus came but Lucius had not.
Harry took a chance and asked his dad. "Are you guys forbidding Lucius from coming?"
Remus shook his head. "No. I think he probably believes you need time with your brothers and your family. We have not kept him away."
They both noticed a pain in their son's eyes when they said that and they realized what the twins and Draco, even Luna, had said. Lucius' love might not yet be returned but Harry obviously cared about Lucius and his absence had been hurting Harry.
Sirius surprised his son. "You care about him don't you?" and when Harry looked away he knew. "It's okay. You can care about him. I'm not angry. I promise."
Remus nodded. "It would be impossible nearly in the kind of situation for you not to grow close. You don't have to be scared we'll leave if you admit it."
Harry looked at them. "I don't love him but I do care about him. Why isn't he here? I thought he cared about me, but he isn't here."
Sirius and Remus shared a look and Remus went in search of Lucius as Sirius spoke to his son for some time. Harry refused to say anything more about his feelings except making his father ensure again that he would not take Harry's sister away from him if he grew closer to Lucius.
Lucius came into the room and Sirius kissed his son. "I promise your sister needs you as much as you need her. Your dad and I won't take her from you ever."
When they were alone Lucius sunk down onto the bed. "Harry. Your dad said you wanted me."
Harry looked up with tears in his eyes. "Why have you not been here before.? You said you loved me but you have not been here."
Lucius kissed him. "I thought you wanted your family. I know you don't really want to be with me. I thought your family could help you heal better then me."
Harry shook his head. "I do care about you. I know I wouldn't say it before but I do. And when you refused to come I thought you were angry at me."
Lucius dried his tears. "I was angry at myself for putting you in this bed. I blamed myself for your dads being so angry. You should never have been on Black."
Harry was still fighting the tears. "You didn't do anything wrong. My fathers did. And they are apologizing. I care about you, please don't leave me."
Lucius pulled him into his arms and he held Harry against his chest as the boy cried. He knew this was far from being in love but for Harry to admit that he cared about him and wanted him there, made his heart beat faster.
He pulled away and kissed Harry. "When you're better the two of us will work on this relationship. This has been too sexual even at school. You're more then my lover."
Harry looked at him with surprise and returned the kiss. "I will say it again I don't know if I will ever love you but I do care about you. I want to work with you."
Lucius smiled. "That is a start. I want us to work on the apprentice side more. You said you were confused about your future plans. I promise again to help."
Harry managed a slight smile at that. "I'd like that Luc. And I want to use the mats in your duelling room for the proper use. And the second one too."
Lucius smiled at hearing the last part which was almost in a whisper for it was the first time Harry had actually admitted to wanting sex. He had said he missed Lucius in bed with him after Draco found them, and had been more active, but this was a change.
He kissed Harry and ran a hand down his face. "I promise when we get back to school we will use both uses."
