Draco sighed a breath of relief when he felt a faint pulse in his husband's wrist. The healer came into the room and directed Draco to take a seat in the chair next to the bed.

"Mr Malfoy have you and your husband been considering starting a family?" the healer asked instead.

Draco nodded. "Harry and I have been thinking of giving Lily a little sister or brother. We were thinking of starting after the wedding but then this all began."

The healer smiled slightly. "Mr Malfoy your husband is pregnant, about six weeks along."

Draco could not believe it. "Pregnant? I had no idea, I mean, there were no signs."

"Probably with all the stress of what has been going on you and your husband missed them but I can assure you he is."

Draco looked down at Harry. "That's why he is in this bed?" Suddenly he was filled with dread. He remembered all of Charlie and Rodger's problems. He knew male pregnancies were often hard.

The healer nodded. "Your husband was having the early signs of a miscarriage. Unfortunately the stress of your daughter's kidnapping and then being in the hospital; put too much strain on your husband."

Draco took Harry's hand again. "But you said he is pregnant, you did not use the past tense."

The healer nodded. "We were able to stop the cramping for now. Your husband's heart beat is still way to high. We need to bring it down."

"If you can't?"

"Then we stand to loose not only your daughter but your husband as well." The healer answered.

"Daughter?" Draco whispered.

The healer nodded. "Your husband is far along enough to be able to detect. I'm not sure if you wanted to know but with the precarious position I thought you should. You might need to consider a name for, well if something should happen."

He knew the doctor was warning him that he might still lose the child and might need to have a name for the paper work. "What happens now?"

The healer motioned to a magic IV "There are potions in there. They will hopefully help your husband's heart rate go back down."

Draco understood. "If it goes down, are he and my daughter going to be okay?"

The healer nodded. "He'll have to take it easy for the rest of the pregnancy, no over doing it. I won't put him on bed rest unless necessary. If he keeps calm and takes care of himself, he and the baby should do fine. We just need to get that heart rate down."

Draco sagged in relief. "How long?"

"It should take a few hours. We should know by morning if your husband is out of the woods or not. If it's back down he'll have to stay a week or so."

"Is he going to wake up?" Draco asked.

"We've given him a lot of potions including calming draughts. Its better he stays out until his heart rate goes down." The healer explained.

Draco understood. As much as he wanted to see his husband's eyes and know everything was alright, he knew this was for the best. "Thank you healer."

The man took his leave. "Mr Malfoy doesn't thank me yet. Your husband still had to do his part. By tomorrow we should know."

Draco watched him leave and sank down again into the chair and clung to his husband's hand. A child. A daughter. They had talked so often about this. It should be the happiest day of their life when they found out the news. Their wedding should have been a happy celebration to. Why was fate so cruel that first their wedding, now their daughter's birthday and the news of their newest daughter's existence, were marred by tragedy, he would never be able to understand.

Lucius and Narcissa stood in the doorway and looked at their son and son in law. The healer had come out of the room a few moments ago but had refused to give them any detail about how Harry was doing.

"Draco" Lucius said quietly as they entered the room. "How is he doing?"

"He's pregnant." Draco said.

Narcissa was smiling. "Congratulations honey."

Draco nodded back at his husband. "His heart rate sky rocketed from stress and he almost lost our daughter. They're trying to bring it down with meds but if it doesn't come down by tomorrow I might loose them both."

Narcissa went and held her son. "You won't lose them. Harry has to much to live for, you and his beautiful daughter and this little one on the way."

Draco wanted to believe her but he felt such dread. "I can't lose them. I can't lose my husband and my baby."

Lucius put a hand on his shoulder. "We're all here for you, the Weasleys and your mum and me. We'll help Harry come back to you I promise."

Narcissa held her husband's hand as she continued to hug her son. "You need to stay strong Draco, not only for Harry and this baby but for your daughter."

Lucius nodded and handed his son the paper work. "You're officially a family. The adoption papers came through. Lily is a Malfoy."

Draco looked at the papers and he was so happy. He had wanted to legalize what he felt for that little girl since soon after he began dating Harry. It had been easier for them to get the papers through after they married or Draco would have tried sooner. He did not need papers though to know Lily was his daughter. Lily would mean no less to him then the baby that Harry carried now, even though the new baby would be Draco's by blood.

He looked at Harry. "You here that Harry, we are a family officially. Lily is a Malfoy for good. You need to wake up so we can celebrate with our daughter."

Lucius looked at Draco. "You should go see Lily. She is going to be upset. She has been asking for her daddy again."

Draco did not want to leave his husband's side but he wanted to see his daughter. "Mum will you stay with him for me?"

Narcissa nodded and took the seat Draco had left. "I'll stay with him as long as you need. Go see that little girl of yours."

His father had to almost pull him from the room for though he wanted to see his daughter more then anything he could not seem to leave Harry's side.

Down the hall all the Weasleys were in the sitting room. They had been asked by the healer to leave the room so they could check on Lily for a few minutes. They were starting to worry where Draco and Harry were when they saw Lucius leading Draco down the hall.

Arthur jumped up. "Draco, where is Harry?"

Draco was too exhausted to tell them. "Why are you guys out here?"

As if an answer the healer came out and said "The tests are done. You guys can return. Lily is asking for her papa and daddy."

Draco looked at his dad. "Can you tell them please?" and when Lucius nodded Draco retreated into the room.

The others watched Draco leave and then they turned back to his father and all started asking a hundred questions at the same time. Lucius finally had to hold a hand up to halt them.

"Harry collapsed. His heart rate was sky rocketing.. He is in a room down the hall on meds, unconscious."

Bill spoke. "What happened, that sounds more then just exhaustion."

"Harry it turns out is pregnant, another little girl for him and Draco. The stress of the past few days caused his heart rate to peak and his body was cramping."

Rodger's hands went to his own belly. "He didn't miscarry did he?"

"No. The doctors were able to stop it. They say if Harry wakes by tomorrow and his heart rate is down, he'll just need to take it easy through the pregnancy."

Charlie caught the if word though. "There is a chance he won't wake up isn't there?"

Lucius nodded. "They're not sure if he will. If he does not wake by tomorrow morning there is a good chance Draco will lose both his husband and the baby."

The entire room gasped and Lucius sunk into a chair and placed his head in his hands. He was not sure how much more of this he could take. He had been a death eater though spy and had suffered the cruciatus curse and worse but some how this was taking a worse toll on him then anything else. The family divided, half to spend a vigil with Harry and the other to remain with Lily though they switched around over the evening.

Draco spent a long night going between the two rooms. He left Lily only when she was sleeping for she cried for her daddy if he was gone to.

He looked at Bill as Lily slept in his arms "How am I going to tell her if she loses her daddy and little sister?"

Bill came over and took him by the shoulder. "Keep up your spirits Draco. Harry is too stubborn not to fight. He'll come back to you and Lily."

He finally asked Bill "Will you stay with her? I want to be with my husband."

Bill nodded and Draco took off to his husband's room with Bill's assurance to have him fetched if Lily woke but she had been given a sleeping potion which would have her out until the morning at least. He resumed his seat by his husband, ignoring the presence of his mother and several Weasleys. He held Harry's hand and prayed harder then he had ever done before.

"Any Gods listening please let thembe okay. Lily needs her father, I need her father. Please."
