Harry was handed the baby again. You wanted something original but I wanted to honour both our dads. So my beautiful sister is Lara Jocasta Black."

Remus smiled. "That is a beautiful choice."

Sirius agreed with his husband but had to ask. "How did you come up with it?"

He had run through so many names in his mind and had thought to give one name to each dad but he had actually found a way to in their own way, honour both fathers in each name.

He explained. "Lara means a laugh, perfect I thought for the daughter of two marauders, but it also the name of the adoptive mother of Remus and Romulus."

Remus smiled. "And Jocasta?"

He looked at Sirius."Black tradition of names from either the stars or Greek myth. Jocasta was mother of Oedipus and is also the name of a moon."

Sirius kissed his husband. "So a space and myth name for the Blacks but a moon instead of a star, for her werewolf Papa. Your choices are so perfect."

He had been nervous about the choice for as honoured as he was to be asked to name his little sister, he had been worried about if his fathers would approve of his name choice but he could see from their smiles that they genuinely approved.

A picture was taken of the big brother with her and then of the entire family. Harry smiled. "I want copies of both of those."

Sirius took his newborn daughter back. "You will have copies of them I promise. And the two of us should be home from the hospital by the weekend."

Lucius had kept his promise to allow Harry to have the weekends with his dads that summer so he went on Friday evenings after his interning and stayed till Sunday after dinner. He was excited about the coming weekend and being there with his new little sister.

Lucius seemed to notice how tired Harry was and realized the time. "As happy to see her as you are, I think we should head home and leave them some time alone."

Harry bent and kissed his dad and sister, and turned to Remus to kiss him. "Take care of my father and little sister there dad. I'll be thrilled to see you this weekend."

Reluctant to leave Harry did eventually get drawn out of the hospital room and by the time they left the hospital he had to admit he was starving and Lucius decided that something special was in need for the new big brother.

He pulled Harry in for a warm kiss. "How about I take the two of us out for a bite to eat before we head home? To celebrate you becoming a big brother."

Harry smiled and nodded. "I'd like that a lot. But can we go some where that there won't be a long wait for honestly I could eat a horse right about now."

Lucius had a strange smile. "The place I had in mind doesn't have horse on the menu that I know of but there are some pretty odd choices on it."

Having spent a lot of time traveling the world on business since he finished school, Lucius had quite the taste for foreign and exotic foods and had a few favourite spots here in London. There was a great East Indian restaurant he knew of and thought that Harry would enjoy the food.

Harry was amazed when he entered. "I have never been to India but it reminds me of the pictures and shows on television of it. This is amazing."

Lucius helped him into his chair. "I have been and it does remind me of being there. This and a Moroccan place are my favourite. Maybe I'll take you there some day."

Knowing that he was referring to India and not to the Moroccan restaurant made him smile. "I would like that a lot."

As they ordered all sorts of food from tandori chicken and saffron rice to Indian flat bread and vegetables, Lucius told him about his last trip to India. He knew Harry never travelled outside of the UK before this year and seeing his delight at Easter made him want to show Harry the world.

He fed Harry some of the nan. "You know there are so many places I'd love to show you. It would be nice to have a spouse who enjoys it as much as I do."

Harry showed no reaction to being called the man's possible husband. "I assume when you run the business you could arrange for us to have some vacation time."

Lucius hid a grin at one again Harry was not correcting him. "That I can. And if you take a job from Jake after grad, most of the work you can do from home or away."

Harry smiled. "So if you could whisk me away any where the day after I graduate, where are you taking me?"

Though he knew the question had just come to Harry because of the talk, Lucius had considered it already. He hoped Harry would agree to take the summer off, for even if Harry could do research when they traveled, he wanted him to himself. He thought of the perfect place to propose.

He smiled. "I thought perhaps we'd not stray too far after graduation and take you to Italy. The canals of Venice, the cathedrals of Rome. Fine wine and food."

Harry reached over and kissed him tenderly. "That definitely sounds interesting and pretty romantic."

Lucius loved how comfortable Harry was growing with the prospect of marriage with him one day and as they paid and left, stopping for some ice cream along the way, he could picture how he was going to propose to Harry. Even if Harry did not say yes right way, he'd continue courting him and win Harry eventually.

Later that night as Harry lay entwined naked in his arms and legs, Lucius rested a hand against Harry's belly. "I hope we one day have our own little girl there."

Unlike his honeymoon comment in the islands, this time he had thought his lover asleep but he wasn't. "I could see a little one with your platinum hair."

Lucius kissed the back of his neck, "When you're ready I'll have a ring on your finger and a baby in your belly. When you're ready."

He would do this right. No scare like last time. He would put no pressure on Harry to consider before the contract was up. Harry would be his husband and the father of his children without those brands on him. There would be no doubt to either of them or anyone else, doubt that both were his choice and his choice alone.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

A week before his birthday the Malfoys and the Blacks headed back to Cornwall. It was his seventeenth birthday and Harry had been asked how he wanted to celebrate his birthday and he said he wanted to have it back where he had his birthday the year before; It had been such a special birthday, when he was adopted.

The day before his birthday though Lucius came to him. "We're going to London for the night."

Harry was surprised for they had only come a few days before and was suppose to stay for another week. "We are?"

Lucius kissed him. "I have to share you tomorrow so I thought I could have you for a romantic birthday night. Your dads agreed if you're back tomorrow."

It had been just over two weeks since his sister had made her entrance into the world and he doubted that anyone but Draco and Severus would miss him over night for his little sister had decided she didn't like to sleep at night and kept his dads quite busy. The Weasleys and others would not be arriving till the next day.

Harry went to speak to his dads and Remus was trying to get Lara to settle. "My little princess cranky?"

Remus grimaced. "She has just had her diaper changed, fed and burped and she won't calm."

Scooping his little sister into his arms Harry gently began to rock her in his arms and sang gently to her. Both his dads smiled as they watched, first as they were touched by the sight and later relieved as she fell asleep.

Sirius took her to put her in bed. "I think we should make you move home and become a full time nanny. How did you do that?"

Harry shrugged. "I guess she just likes her big brother. What were you expecting from the daughter of two marauders?'

Remus put him in a headlock. "We were around when you were born and you were never so bad. But I guess you were the son of only one back then."

Harry laughed. "Now I can count all three among my legal dads. Lucius tells me you have approved of him whisking me off for the evening."

Leading him out of the bedroom so their daughter could sleep, they assured him they were fine with him going. Technically Lucius could take him where or when he wanted but Lucius had still asked, especially since they were here at the manor as a joint family vacations.

Sirius kissed him. "Next time we will see you, you will be an of age wizard. I can't believe you are already seventeen years old."

Draco had come up behind them. "Isn't that why you have a two week old baby? To make you feel younger since your son could make you a grandfather soon."

Sirius put his cousin in a headlock. "You could say the same thing to your father. I happen to remember how close you and Miss Granger have become of late."

Draco blushed a bit. "Even if we considered marriage and kids neither of us are going to until we finish training and we are both looking at law, three years."

Harry shared a smile with Remus and he realized that his dad had just spoken of the possibility of Harry having kids with Lucius. Harry remembered the talk on the night Lara was born. Like the honeymoon talk, they had not spoken of that since. He had pictured a little female version of Draco in his arms with his mum's eyes though, even more when he watched his dad nursing or rocking Lara.

Lucius was waiting for him outside and took his arm. "You know after tomorrow you won't need me to do this any more."

Harry kissed him. "I think I might let you still. Besides I never booked an appointment for my test yet."

Lucius just before they left shook his head. "I did. You have the first test tomorrow morning. Think of it as a way to make your grand entrance to your party."

They were not in London when they apparated and he stared in amazement at the first professional quidditch stadium or permanent one he had been too for he had only been to the one made for the World cup back before his fourth year.

Lucius saw his amazed smile. "I thought it was about time you got to see a professional game. I know you have only been to one before now."

Harry smiled. "You were in the box with us and I can remember it being the first time to see your wife. Draco was so upset I was up there with you."

Lucius nodded. "More that the Weasleys were but that was for protection, our spy role. But we do have pretty amazing seats for the game today."

It turned out they were attending a game between the Harpies and the United. The United were his favourite team which might have had something to do with the fact that his old quidditch buddy Oliver was on paternity leave this season though for he and Charlie were expecting but he would cheer for the team still.

He was amazed though when they entered what he knew was the owner's box. "You know the owner?"

Lucius shook his head. "Actually it was your brother in law who pulled the strings. I am friends with a manger for the Portee but I had no ins here."

The surprises did not end for when the teams were announced he was amazed to see that Katie was announced as a starting chaser for the team. He had known when she graduated that she had tried out for some teams but he had never heard if she made any. He smiled that two of his buddies were on the same team. His new team had no real potentials for pro except him but the old dream team most of the players could have if they chose. But the twins and their girlfriends had decided not to.

As they watched the game Lucius looked at him. "Would you ever consider trying out?"

Harry looked over at him. "I have. I mean I love playing quidditch but it isn't something I could do forever, especially when I start a family and missing seasons."

Lucius had a glimmer in his eye from such talk again. "You could always play for the national team and still work for Jake. Most national player have another job."

Harry knew that as many played for other teams as well. "I would seriously consider it. But let us not jump the gun, there is no certainty I'd even get a try out."

Watching Harry as well as the game Lucius was always amazed at how humble Harry was about his amazing skill on a broom. There would be scouts to see him play probably every game this year even if he would not consider an offer. He knew Harry was passionate about the work he had been doing that summer but he could definitely see Harry spending at least a few seasons with the national team as well.

The United won the game about three hours in and he was amazed when Katie flew over to him and handed him something. "A gift since I can't come tomorrow."

Harry hugged her as best as he could while she was on the broom. "Thanks Katie. You never told me you made the team. You were awesome out there."

They spoke for some time and Harry opened the gift and found a practice quaffle that had been signed by all the members of her team including Oliver, and again he hugged her and when she headed to the change rooms Lucius shrunk his gift and pocketed it so he and Harry could go. They headed for muggle London where they had to his surprise a hot dog from a street vendor for a late lunch.

Lucius explained. "We are going to the Moroccan place I told you about before, for dinner tonight."

Harry remembered him mention the restaurant on the night that Lara was born."I'd like that."

There was a concert going on in Hyde park and they spent the rest of the afternoon at the concert and even took a carriage ride before they headed for the restaurant where they were sitting on the floor and eating with their fingers, something even after all this time with Lucius, he never imagined this. They had an amazing night watching the dancers and eating the spicy food.

Back at the townhouse Lucius handed him a gift in their bedroom. "Started the tradition last year so I thought I'd do it again."

Harry looked at the package. "Going to give me a gift and then ravage my body again?" and when he saw Luc's face he added. "I think I like the sounds of that."

Where last time he had got wallet and a new account set up with his own money this year he found a black cord necklace with a small pendent. He was not too big on jewellery but this was quite small and simple, like what Draco often wore and he quite liked it.

Lucius saw his confusion over the symbol on the flat platinum pendent. "It is the symbol for Leo. Not only your Zodiac sign, but the lion for my Gryffindor."

Harry allowed him to put the necklace around his neck. "Thank you, I love tit. And for today as well."

Reaching down to kiss Harry Lucius instead found himself pulled down on top of Harry and seeing his lover's needy desire, he used his wand to remove the remnants of clothes between them and did just as they had spoken of, and ravished his young lover's body over and over. This year there were no silent tears to follow.

They took a break between rounds and at midnight he kissed Harry tenderly. "Happy birthday."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

In the morning Harry was a bit nervous and could barely eat breakfast but Lucius reminded him he would need his strength for the test. His heart was in his stomach as he prepared for the test but he had been training hard and when he calmed he aced his test in one try.

He decided to play Lucius for a bit and looked close to tears when he came out. Lucius kissed him. "I'm sorry. I guess it wasn't a good idea for your birthday."

Harry laughed and broke into a grin. "It was a perfect idea. I only needed one try and not the three given. You are looking at the newest license apparitionist."

Lucius twirled him around in a warm kiss. He reminded Harry he was also able to do magic any where as well. Harry thought about the times he had got letters from the department of under age magic and knew it would not happen again. Though only once he had actually done the magic, Dobby had the other time.

Leaving Lucius turned to him. "I know you might be anxious to try it out but Cornwall is quite the distance and we don't want to splinch you on your birthday."

Harry agreed and they ended up taking the Knight Bus instead. "After yesterday I think a nice birthday with my friends at the beach will be a nice slow down."

Lucius smirked. "Well maybe we should have told your dads that. Even if it was the same location they were not about to allow today to be anything but amazing."

Knowing that he should have expected that for his dads had been talking every weekend about his birthday and wanting to make it special, he was reminded the seventeenth birthday was more then being able to apparate and do magic. He was an adult in the wizarding world now and they would try to make it incredible.

Lucius got them dropped off at the town. "Now you will make your entrance. Come three minutes after I leave and focus on the garden area behind the manor."

Harry nodded. "Okay."

He knew that Lucius had been right bout this being the perfect entrance he waited the three minutes and apparated to the back gardens. He was not met by surprise being shouted like last year for they knew he was expecting them but was met by clapping and cheering, congratulations for both the day and passing his test. His dads were the first to come and hug him with Lara, and Hermione and Draco came soon after. All of his friends from school were there and the Weasleys as well.

A pregnant Oliver hugged him. "So you liked mine and Katie's little surprise? I heard you were a good luck charm and they won the game yesterday."

Harry smiled. "I think it had more to do with the amazing team they have. But I must say they really need their old keeper back."

Oliver shook his head. "Well when I don't have my little snitch in me any more and back in shape, I'll be happy to go back. You should consider trying out."

Rescued from having to respond by the other guests who wanted to greet him, Harry was touched to see everyone who had come but his eyes were drawn past the mountain of gifts that were waiting for him and to the water where he was amazed.

He turned to look at Lucius. "That is the Darwin.'

Lucius nodded. "The boat is not away on a dive right now and Jake let us borrow it. Thought you and your friends could have some fun diving out here."

Though it was not the Caribbean he knew from his research there was some interesting dive sights around here and he thought that there wasn't anyone among them who would not have fun and was sure even some of the adults would come. Sure enough when they took to the water, using the equipment spells but entering like normal divers unlike his first dive, all his friends, Sirius and Lucius were with him. After two hours when they came out everyone was in awe.

Fred clapped him on the back. "I can see why you love that internship of yours so much. That is so cool. Far more interesting then what Bill used to do."

Harry shared a smile with Bill. "Well I have actually done some of what Bill used to do and I mean we spend a month or so at a desk for a week dive."

Hermione laughed. "You can tell though you enjoy that side as well. I have no doubt you'll accept a job there full time after graduation. Become the next Cousteau."

Draco shook his head. "Right now he wants to be the next Jake Roberts. The man is his boss and you should see the way Harry idolizes the man."

Harry elbowed his brother in the ribs but he had to admit that Draco had a point and when they sat down for a late barbeque lunch with hamburgers, hotdogs and steaks muggle style, he had to admit he definitely hoped one day he would maybe be able to take over the department and be half the job that the man did.

After lunch he was piled on with gifts, and along with quidditch and pranks there were a number of ones water or treasure themed now. "Should have known."

Though he had got his necklace he received from Draco and his dad his own diver goggles, a top quality pair, so he would not need loaner ones on dives, and he had received a book from Neville and Luna on the water plants and sea life of the major oceans of the world, for him to know what he was seeing on dives.

His dads handed him a gift. "I think you probably know what it is already is but it is tradition."

Harry smiled when he opened the gift and found an old pocket watch which was tradition and he saw the Black family crest on it. "Dad?"

Sirius kissed him. "It goes to the eldest child. James' was destroyed and since you are my eldest child and always will be, this belongs to you Harry."

Though all wizards and witches got watch and others could be heirlooms, it was tradition for the first born to receive their father\s or if their father wore it, like Lucius did his, then their grandfather's as Draco had received his grandfather's. Sirius wore a normal watch and wanted Harry to have the beautiful time piece.

Harry hugged him and when he protested looking at Lara Remus smiled. "I have one, not as fancy, but from my father. It will be Lara's when she turns of age."

His friends dragged him away before he started crying and they had a repeat of the year before and they took to the caves and played several rounds of hide and go seek deep within the caves. For a moment Harry was reminded of Lucius and him in the caves but he fingered his pendent and was soon smiling once again.

He stopped and looked at the cave paintings and Hermione stopped with him. "Admiring he scenery?"

Harry pointed at some. "Reminded dad told me he and his cousins added some of these. Kind of thinking of when Lara is old enough to come see them."

Hermione put a hand on her arm. "I don't doubt you had your mind on a child bringing them here to play but I have a sneaky feeling it isn't your precious sister."

Harry turned to look at her. "How...I mean..."

Hermione smiled and shrugged. "We have been best friends for nearly six years now. There aren't too many things you can keep from me."

They returned back above and Harry smiled when he saw the international themed dinner with food from Asia, India, Morocco and the Caribbean being served, and knew that Lucius had definitely had a hand in the menu. There was an amazing fireworks show to end the night.

Draco whispered. "Don't worry as soon as we get back to London we will take you out drinking too. You need your first night at the bar."

Author note: Lara Jocasta Black: Lara (Spanish) is a variation of Larisa which means a laugh, in myth Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Ares and a Vestal Virgin, abandoned and suckled by a she-wolf but later were fostered by a woman who had many names including Lara in myth. I thought since Remus is taken from the founder, this name was fitting. Also the daughter of two marauders is bound to be a little prankster and bring many laughs.

Jocasta (Greek): means shinning moon. Jocasta fills the Black tradition of both a name from myth and a galactic theme. Jocasta was the mother of Oedipus, and a moon is named for her. I thought both since Jocasta means shinning moon and is the name of a moon, it also is honouring her werewolf Papa as well as Black tradition
