His senior year had started a week ago but it was not the amazing senior year he was praying for. He was enjoying the classes and quidditch as well but he had had not been feeling great. He was going into panic mode and was scared to go to Madam Pomfrey.

He went to Lucius on Thursday. "I was wondering if you could do without me this weekend. I'd like to go see my fathers and Lara this weekend."

Lucius was surprised but he nodded. "I'll miss you but you can leave tomorrow after your final class. You've been a bit pale; it might do you some good."

Harry bent down and kissed him. "Thanks Luc. I'll miss you too. I would really like to spend some time with my sister and maybe the twins as well."

They spent the evening together for he felt bad about leaving Lucius all weekend on such short notice and he knew he was concerned. As they made love that night Lucius could not help but notice his lover was distracted and the worries from that summer rang through his head as he held his little lover close.

In the morning Harry packed his bags before class and he headed off for class before Lucius woke. Draco was concerned by lunch. "Harry what is wrong?"

When he tried to shake him off Luna joined in and they took him to the room of requirements. "Draco is right. What is going on?"

Harry was fighting the tears. "I have been nauseous for two weeks. I am scared."

They both knew of his earlier scare and Luna had been there holding him s he waited to find out. Harry told them what had happened the night they went drinking and how he had nearly fainted when they were in Barbuda.

Draco came to him. "Come on we'll take you to Madam Pomfrey and we will have her run the test."

Harry shook his head. "Your dad gave me permission to go spend the weekend with my dads. I am going to the hospital for a test this afternoon."

Draco stood. "I am coming with you then. There is no way I am allowing you to do this alone. If you won't let dad be there, I am going."

He was about to protest but Luna agreed with Draco and said she would insist on coming herself but since she was not in her senior year she was not able to leave school when ever she chose to as they were.

She hugged Harry. "Please just let Draco be there to hold your hand. You really should let Lucius know. It would be his baby."

Harry stared at her. "Last time you were threatening to hex his balls off."

Luna smiled. "Last time you were petrified and new to the relationship. You love him, I know you refuse to admit it but you do. He'll care for you and it."

Again harry was hit with the realization that Lucius would only if to save his fortune. He believed this time though that Lucius did love him and would want to be a family with him and the baby. Harry though was just so scared. He was seventeen and not done school and he wasn't sure how he felt about the baby's daddy.

Harry was extremely nervous when their last class ended and he almost backed out. "I can't do this."

Draco shook his head. "You need to do this Harry. Not finding out is not going to change anything. You need to know if you're pregnant or not."

He had sent Hedwig ahead to tell his dads he was coming for the weekend but he had told them it would be later in the evening as he had quidditch. Draco convinced him though to send word to the twins and they apparated to the twins' shop first.

Fred was worried the moment he saw Harry. "You look so pale and green around the gills Harry. You're pregnant aren't\t you?"

It had been meant as a joke but George saw his face fall. "You seriously are pregnant? Oh Harry."

Harry explained his symptoms and that he was going to the hospital for a pregnancy test. He had been worried if he had it at school that Poppy would go to his master right away even before he had a chance to think.

George led him to the door. "I am coming with you. Fred will watch the shop. Draco and I will hold your hand and we can deal with what ifs when we know."

Fred hugged him. "You know if you are you will have all our support. Your dads will help and our parents. Lucius you know will of course take care of the baby."

Harry was close to tears. "I know but I am so scared. I am seventeen, I am in school. And I don't even know if I am ever going to love him. I am so scared."

They tried to calm him as they took him to the hospital but their nerves were no better and when they saw the look on the face of the healer running the test they knew the answer before any of them could even ask.

The healer nodded. "Mr Potter-Black you are pregnant. You look to be about four weeks pregnant."

Draco saw Harry was absolutely silent and lost in thought. "Thank you healer."

Taking the potions and assuring the healer they'd have Harry check up with the healer at school, Draco and George led him out. He was shaking so bad and refused to head home or back to school. George thought of the one place that he might find comfort at that moment.

Molly was surprised when they arrived at the Burrow and took a sobbing Harry into her arms as George explained. "Oh sweet heart it's okay. I promise Harry."

George shared a look with Draco and whispered. "I am going for his dads. He is going to need them more then ever before right now."

Draco thought about going for his own dad but he knew the last thing Harry needed was to be confronted by Lucius. His dad had promised he would use contraception and obviously had not. Right now Harry needed the comfort of his family and Molly was doing just that and soon so would his dads.

Draco sunk down next to Harry when Molly got them inside and Harry into a kitchen chair. "Come on Harry, please talk to us. You're going to be okay about this."

Harry's hand was against his belly. "I want children. I want a baby. But I was supposed to be in love and married, and..."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Sirius and Remus were in the library. Lara was happily nursing and Remus was working on his most recent text. They heard the door open down below and assumed it was their son for he had promised to be there by dinner time.

They were surprised when the library door opened and George came instead. Remus spoke. "What are you doing here?"

George came to a halt. "The two of you need to come to the Burrow. Your son needs you badly right now."

A look passed between both men. They had been worried something was up when their son suddenly decided the day before that he was in need of his fathers and was suddenly coming to London to spend the weekend. They knew he adored Lara but this was out of place.

Remus stood. "What is wrong with our son? What happened George?"

George sighed. "He's pregnant. He was scared and Draco and I took him to the hospital. He is four weeks pregnant."

They stared in shock as they listened to George tell him what Harry had told them. Neither of them could believe that their son was pregnant. They had known there could have been a risk early on but they had Lucius' word.

Sirius looked ready to tear the man apart and probably would have gone to find him if not for Lara. "That bastard got him pregnant and isn't even there with him?"

George stopped him."Harry refused to tell him. He came to London so Poppy would not tell him. Now he is so scared he wouldn't even come home to you either."

Both men shared a look and they knew that their son was scared that they would not be there for him. They knew he was petrified that they would be so angry he was pregnant when he was in school, that they'd turn their back on him.

Remus took his daughter for a burp. "Your big brother princess is going to need us pretty bad. And not in prison for punching out his baby's father."

Sirius knew the last comment was directed at him. "I know. I know. Harry is going to need us and as much as I hate to admit this, he will need that man as well."

George looked up."That is not really a choice. Harry either gives up his baby all together or marries Lucius. Your son really had no choice."

They all knew that Harry would no matter how scared and young would never give up on his child. He would never hand his son or daughter to Lucius and loose any rights to his own little baby.

Lara burped Remus headed for her carry seat, "We are going to the Burrow and assure our son that we are by his side. We will help him through all of this."

Sirius followed his husband. "At least we know Lucius does love Harry and Harry is growing to care about him as well. He has to know he is not alone."

Relieved that the fathers were both calm he understood more then just fear why Harry had not come himself. It was a good thing he had not for George could see that the dads had been close to loosing it and in his emotional state, there was no way Harry could take it. He needed the immediate calming arms of Molly right now.

When they entered the Burrow they found them in the sitting room and found Harry in no better shape. "Cub." Sirius called.

Harry looked up with tears streaming down his cheeks. "Dad...I..."

Remus came to his son's side handing Lara to George, Draco and Molly moving for the dads. "George told us cub. We're here cub. I promise cub, I promise."

Falling sobbing into his father's arms Harry could not seem to find any words but just held tight to him and would not let go. Sirius sunk down on his other side and held him close from behind and they both just held him.

When he slowly calmed Remus made him look up. "We were here cub. We will be with you through every step of this pregnancy. And after. I promise."

Sirius nodded. "You know that we would never turn out back on you. You and that baby have us and the Weasleys. And Draco and his dad. You know you do."

Harry looked over at his sister and at Draco. "Are you ready to be a big brother? I would think you'd freak. You have been good about your dad and I..."

Sitting down on the coffee table across from him Draco took his hands. "You're my best friend and this little one is my brother or sister. I promise I'm here."

Secretly Draco had always wanted sisters and brothers and he could see his dad with a little girl. Really he knew his father wanted a daughter pretty badly. It was his mother who refused to have more then one child when their first was a son. He wished for Harry's sake it waited till after graduation but he wasn't angry.

Draco took his hand. "You know this is going to make you my stepfather. You know dad loves you. He'll marry you and take care of you and that little baby."

Harry shook his head. "He'll marry me to protect half of his fortune. And for the baby. He doesn't want me."

Draco stopped him. "My dad loves you. He has told you all the time he wants to propose when you graduate. He has wanted your children from the start."

They could all see Harry was battling with all of the emotions and knew that it was not Lucius' feelings that he doubted. It was his own. They knew he was falling if not already in love and this baby was just forcing the issue. They got him to return home to Grimmauld and got him to go to sleep. Draco went to check on him in the morning and freaked when he didn't find him but Remus motioned him to the nursery door where they saw Harry rocking Lara and singing to her.

They were about to say something when they heard Lucius' voice calling and he came up the stairs. He looked at Harry. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Harry looked up from his sister. "Lucius...I..."

He handed some paper work to Harry who looked down in shock at the paper. "Lucius?"

Before he could ask the question Lucius shocked everyone in the room who turned and left the house leaving Harry and Draco staring in shock after him. They all looked at Harry for some explanation of what the paper work in his hands was.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Lucius was in his attorney's office. He could not believe it when word had come from the hospital in London. Harry's relationship was known and a doctor had alerted him to the fact that Harry had come to the hospital for a pregnancy test and that it was positive.

The attorney handed him the paper work. "Are you sure about this Lucius? I mean this is a huge deal. You sign these forms and you can't take it back."

Lucius nodded. "I need to do this. I have made to many mistakes in my life and with that boy. I will not continue. Now hand me a quill please."

The attorney had been working for Lucius for several decades and he knew when his boss had his mind set on something as he seemed to now, there was no way that he was going to change the man's mind.

When Lucius signed the forms he handed one copy back. "Please send those onto the bank and a copy to the ministry for me as well."

The attorney took the forms. "I will. I really think you are making the biggest mistake that you have made. I really think you need to stop before we send them on."

Lucius pocketed his own forms. "This is one of the smartest things I have ever done. I don't pay you to argue John. Just see to having those papers sent in."

The man sighed. "You do pay me to argue, I have for years. This is the first time in twenty Yeats of friendship you have refused to listen to reason."

The man had been on his side even when he had been a spy and knew his role. John was right; he had been one to always voice his opinions when he thought his boss was wrong for they had always been friends first. He had not had John draw up the erastes contract for he knew he would never hear the end of it.

John came to him. "You know I would not have approved of this thing in the first place. There was too much at risk. Lucius, come to your senses already."

Lucius shook his head. "I have all of my sense in tact already. John you are my friend and you know I respect your opinions but I am not changing my mind."

John sighed. "I just hope you don't come crying to me when this goes wrong. You're my friend Lucius but my opinion on this is on record."

Lucius shook his hand. "I know John and I will not complain to you about any of this. Thank you for your help and for your friendship as well."

Leaving the lawyer's office Lucius knew he was doing the right thing. He had not done the right thing very often in his life and he knew that he needed to do this. He knew that he was doing the right thing by Harry and his baby in the long run. He knew it would hurt Harry but he'd see it was for the best in the end.

He found himself in Grimmauld and saw George in the downstairs sitting room. "Is my apprentice here?"

George knew from looking at him that he knew the truth. "He is up with his dads and sister in the nursery. I believe your son is there as well."

Knowing from the last time they had stayed at the house where the nursery was he headed up the stairs. He saw Harry in the rocking chair holding his infant sister in his arms and looking some where been at peace and on the verge of tears.

Lucius walked into the room. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Harry looked up from his sister and there were tears in his eyes. "Lucius...I..."

He handed the paperwork to Harry and turned to leave as he heard Harry look at the papers and call. "Lucius?"

He could see the shock in the face of his son and Harry's dads and he could hear the pained confusion of Harry as he called after him but this had to be done. This was the way things had to be. Harry would come to see that in the end.

George tried to stop him before he left as they could hear Harry calling. "He is pregnant with your child. Where are you going? He needs you right now."

Lucius shook his head. "Go offer your little brother some comfort up there. This isn't my place any more."

He saw the confusion and anger in George's face but the Weasley took off up the stairs to the nursery. He heard his son coming down the stairs but Lucius left the door and apparated back to the edge of the school. He hated the pain in Harry's face and voice but it had to be done.
