"HARRY HURRY UP!" Draco called standing beside the study room Floo. They had gotten the call over twenty minutes ago that Hermione was in hard labor, everyone was thrilled that they had made it this far. Now it was time to welcome the new addition to the family and Harry was God- know- where at the moment. When Draco had to him he said that he would be back and left, he just assumed that he was getting something for the baby but the longer he took the more he worried.
"I'm sorry lover," Harry hurried back into the room looking a little pale and flustered. In one hand he held a wrapped gift, the other he had a cool cloth in his hand. Trying not to worry his lover he tucked it away and reached for his hand, "Ready?"
"Yes, are you alright?" Draco asked not at all fooled by the way he was hiding it. Over the years he had gotten to know just how Harry hid illness or injury.
"I'll have Heather look me over while we are there; it's probably just a stomach bug." Grinning softly he took his lovers hand and stepped into the Floo. With a spoken word and a flash of green they were gone. Stepping out into the Maternity Ward at Saint Mungos they looked around for the family. Finally seeing them pacing by one of the rooms they knew that it wasn't going to be much longer.
"Harry, Draco." Molly turned to greet them with a warm hug before turning back to the room in question. She couldn't wait to meet her next grand child. It was clear that there was just too many people there to be allowed in the room and Molly had been allowed in for Rosie's birth. So, this time around Mrs. Granger was in the room with her.
"How is she doing?" Harry whispered listening to the voices that were in the room. Hearing the muted voices of the Healer and Ron he knew that she had to be close.
"She's doing wonderfully, been pushing for about ten minutes now." Charlie whispered back not wanting to miss out on the baby's first cry of life.
One hand wondering to his belly Draco smiled as he leaned on Harry, it wouldn't be much longer before it was their turn to greet their son. Listening to Hermione's pained filled voice and weak cry of pain he closed in his eyes in a silent prayer. He just wanted everyone to be alright, that was all they needed. Feeling Harry slip his arm around him he took a deep breath to calm himself. Hearing the Healers soft voice instructing Hermione for the last few pushes he held his breath waiting for the cry of the baby.
"Oh..." Molly breathed hearing the whimper, biting her lip to forestall the cheer just yet. Then with one cry for Hermione, there was a loud infantile wail from the room. "Ohh, he's here." tears began to fall as family hugged her.
Harry felt the tears on his cheeks as he kissed Draco, his Godson was here. "I can't wait to see him." he breathed as Ron came out of the room with a proud smile.
"He's here, Hermione is doing well." He reassured as his brothers and family hugged and congratulated him. Rosie ran to him and hugged him clear thrilled.
"A brother?" she squealed excitement dancing in her eyes.
"Yes, baby." Ron turned to Harry clearly a proud Father.
Harry let Draco go a moment as he embraced his brother. "Great job brother."
Ron was fairly glowing as he pulled away. "You're next brother." turning as the Healer exited the room.
"You can all go see the baby now," She smiled her eyes landing on everyone as they slipped past her. She wanted to make sure no one that was ill was let in just yet. As Harry passed she frowned, "Harry? You don't look well."
Harry knew that he was not going to be allowed in unless she looked him over, so, turning to Draco he whispered. "Go see the baby, I'll be right back." he promised.
"Alright." Draco nodded knowing that it was inevitable so he followed the family in as Harry was lead off. Moving to the bed he smiled as he was shown the baby, "Oh look at him." Looking at the babies thick red hair and red round face he was clear his daddy all over.
Harry entered the room looking a little strained but smiling, how was Draco going to act to the news? How in the hell had the Healers been wrong? It didn't make any sense; one thing was certain this was not part of the plans. "Congratulations sister," hugging her tenderly he gazed at the baby and smiled softly, "He's perfect."
"Thank you," Hermione looked up at him worried a little seeing the thin lines of worry on his face, "What's wrong?"
Draco turned to Harry seeing what Hermione was seeing. "What did she say?"
Harry smiled softy, "She said that I'm fine, but some how I'm pregnant." he grinned hoping that he wouldn't get upset.
Draco's eyes went wide, "Really? Another baby?" he breathed, "How? How could she mess up? She said that you weren't a carrier."
"Well Draco, magic is constantly changing your bodies, his has changed his. It can be normal for a non-carrier to become a carrier." Heather smiled softly at him as she moved to check on the baby and Hermione.
Draco curled into Harry's arms thrilled with the news that their family was growing and in more ways than one.
pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
A FEW SHORT MONTHS LATER!
Lucius ran for the Floo that was connected to his study, praying that everything was alright. He had insisted that Severus and Narcissa go on ahead of him because his meeting was running late. Now he had wished he had told the Minister to shove it and gone with them. What if something was wrong? What if Draco or the baby didn't survive? What is they both didn't survive? The thoughts ran through his mind over and over and wouldn't let him be. They had all been thrilled to find out about the baby Harry was expecting and what it meant for them. Now, though, he just wanted his son to be all right. After all that he had been through he really didn't think he could stand losing his son. Looking around the abandoned ward he wondered where they all where. Shouldn't the Weasley clan be there as well?
"Luc?" Severus called looking up from the door he had just exited out of. "Over here."
"How is he?" Lucius moved to him clearly worried.
It warmed Severus to see the worry and fear in his lover's eyes, he was a good Father no matter anyone said. "He's doing great, come on they are about to deliver the little one."
Harry looked up from Draco's side and grinned at Lucius before turning his full attention back to his husband. Hiding his worry behind concerned eyes he whispered softly. "You are doing good baby, not much longer."
Moving to Draco's other side Lucius, Severus and Narcissa stood to offer comfort and support as the Healers moved in to start the C-section to deliver the newest little Potter.
"Just relax and stay calm. You will feel tugging and pressure but you should feel no pain. If you do tell us, we'll stop and give you more potions," Heather smiled as they rubbed a numbing salve on his belly, as Draco nodded, "Ready?"
"Yes." Draco breathed shakily closing his eyes a moment before locking his eyes onto Harry as if he was a life line.
"We're all right here, everything will be fine." Severus smiled as he placed his hand on top of Lucius', who was holding Draco's. They were a tight family and nothing was going to separate them now.
Draco's hand started to shake as his emotions began to overwhelm him. All the fighting and loss was at an end, their son was on the way, in less than a few minutes his baby would be here. One tear fell as he squeezed Harry's hand.
"Dray?" Harry wiped away the tear looking worried, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, just overwhelmed." he whispered waiting for the babies first cry. Taking a shaky breath as he felt the pressure from the Healers pressing on his belly to help get the baby out.
"Lots pf pressure. just stay relaxed," Heather instructed as she pulled the baby gently out, "Look at all of that black hair," she smiled as the baby was pulled free and began crying, "Happy birthday." holding the baby up so Draco, Harry and everyone else could see before passing him off to the nurses.
"Is he alright?" Draco's voice cracked and was thick with tears.
"He's perfect." Heather reassured as they closed the incision, "Almost done, then you can hold him."
"Thank you." Draco turned his eyes to watch the nurses with his newborn son.
"He has your lungs." Severus smirked teasingly as he rubbed his belly. It wouldn't belong before their family was complete.
"He's perfect, congratulations." The nurse gently laid the newborn into his daddies waiting arms as the Healers finished.
"Thank you." Harry smiled watching his son gaze them, "Hello my son. We've waited a long time for you."
The little baby had thick black hair that was very messy, round face and Draco's startling gray eyes. He was a perfect mix of Harry and Draco.
Lucius, Narcissa and Severus gazed at their first grandson with big smiles; this was the perfect end to the hardest year they had ever faced. Things would get better and with Draco and Lucius the orphanage would never suffer again.
