Chapter 6
Nobody's POV:
It took a relatively short time in order for the bloodwork to be run and the results of the paternity tests to confirm what both had already known. They were indeed father and son. Once that formality was out of the way they immediately began to learn more about one another.
Vlad's POV:
They had talked late into the evening with Harry having just fallen asleep against his side. Now all he could do was gaze wonderingly at his child nestled against him in slumber. He still felt that overwhelming sense of amazement that this was his child and that he was hear with him after having given up long ago of the idea of loving anyone other than his precious Lily and having a family of his own. Yet here he was holding the most precious gift in the world. Oh how he wished that Lily could be here with them now. He also knows that there was still a lot more that they needed to talk about it, but it could wait until Harry was rested and settled in. There was no rush. They had all the time in the world.
But fate was a cruel mistress and had again showed her true self in the hand she'd dealt the three of them. Perhaps now though she was done playing with them and moved on to other helpless targets. He sincerely hoped so now that it'd seem as though Lady Luck was blessing he and his son with the chance to be a family again.
Things would definitely have to change now, but he didn't mind. Anything for his son. And maybe…. for himself as well. He knew that he'd stopped really caring about himself long ago, but his son not only needed him but wanted him now. He needed to learn how to care for himself again so that he could be here for him.
