Draco woke up in the morning with his hand still in his husband's. He could tell something had changed. The hand no longer seemed clammy and as he looked up to see the healer on the other side of the bed.

The man smiled. "His heart rate has come back to a normal rate and the cramping is no longer a concern."

Draco sighed in relief. "Thank you."

The healer nodded."We have taken your husband off of the medication that has been causing him to sleep."

Draco looked at Harry expecting him to wake. "How long will it take for it to wear off?"

The healer's face fell. "The potions should have worn off some time ago Mr Malfoy."

Draco's heart dropped. "He's not awake."

"I'm sorry but we have done what we can. It's up to your husband to wake when he's ready." The healer said and left the room.

Lucius and Narcissa came in with Mr and Mrs Weasley. The healer had informed them on the situation while Draco was asleep. It was not customary but Draco had given permission for any information to be given to any family member. The healer knew the boy would need their support.

Narcissa took her son. "He'll wake up. You always told us Harry never was a morning person. Be patient and he's going to be smiling at you."

Molly had gone to the spot where the healer had stood. "He looks like the child I first saw. I can not believe how pale and innocent he looks right now."

Arthur held his wife. "He'll come around in his time. Narcissa is right, we've raised enough sons to know that they like to have a lay in from time to time."

Draco refused to leave his husband's side when his father and mother recommended he take a walk or get a bite to eat. He was not going to leave his husband's side until Harry opened his eyes.

Bill had slept in the cot all night next to his niece and when she woke up he had been sitting by her side and had gathered her up into his arms.

"Daddy" the little girl pleaded with her Uncle.

Bill shook his head. "Flower I promise daddy will come soon."

"I want daddy and Papa." The little girl would not be appeased.

Bill looked at his brothers in the room and shrugged helplessly. Fred went to his niece. "Hey Princess I think maybe you could help your daddy."

The little girl looked at Fred with a huge smile. "Help daddy?"

The others were not sure but Fred pushed on. "Daddy has been sick like you princess. He is sleeping right now but maybe you can help us."

The little girl was beaming and Bill decided Fred was right. "You know the fairy tale Papa read you called Sleeping Beauty?"

The little girl nodded so Fred took it. "Well your daddy is like Sleeping Beauty and we think he needs his princess to wake him up."

Lily lifted her hands to her Uncle Fred. "Me kiss daddy and wake him up."

Fred turned to look at the healer who had entered the room. He was not sure he would get permission but he thought he might have to go against healer orders anyways.

The man nodded. "Lily is fine to go. I think it might help Harry to have her near him."

Fred scooped his niece up into the arms and the three brothers took Lily and they headed down the rest of the hallway towards the door of the room where they knew that Harry was.

"Daddy" Lily cried as she saw her father in the bed.

Draco turned as he heard his daughter call out daddy. He was shocked to see his daughter there but he scooped her up into his arms and kissed her head as he turned for explanation to her Uncles.

"Lily decided she needed to see her daddy." Fred explained.

Bill nodded. "We thought it might give Harry a bit of an incentive to wake up. To have his husband and daughter by his side."

Lily beamed "Me wake daddy like Sleepy Buty."

Draco kissed his daughter "You have to be gentle little one. Daddy has been sick."

He placed Lily down on the bed and she crawled up to be right by her father's head and placed one of her huge sloppy baby kissed on his cheek and then she curled up against her daddy with her thumb in her mouth.

Draco looked at them, it would have been such a cute picture under other circumstances. "Come on Harry. Wake up and see your little girl."

Lily turned her head to look at her daddy. "Daddy, please wake up."



Slowly but surely they noticed a change in Harry and to Draco's relief he saw his husband's eyes begin to flutter open. Draco had never in his life been so happy to see the blazing green eyes of his husband looking back at him.

"Draco" the voice cracked.

Draco took some water in a cup from the bedside table and helped Harry drink it for his throat. "I'm here Harry, and so is Lily."

Lily looked at her daddy again. "Daddy wake up. Me wake him like Sleepy Buty."

Harry smiled at his daughter. "Princess you're okay. You had daddy quite worried about you."

Lily sucked on her thumb and pouted. "Daddy worry Papa and me too."

Harry kissed his daughter on the head. "Well I'm sorry I scared you and Papa."

Draco bent down to kiss his husband on the lips. "You are never to put me through such a scare again you here me."

Harry nodded with a small laugh. "I promise."

The Weasleys and extended family poured into the room to see him but the healer shooed everyone out for Harry needed some rest. Draco and Lily were of course permitted to stay and Lily would have a bed in the room.

Harry watched as everyone left except his husband and daughter. He had been out when his daughter woke up. He had no idea how long he had been out, or when she woke up, or anything that had gone on.

"Drake, what happened to me?" Harry asked.

Draco laid a hand on Harry's belly "Your pregnant Harry."

Harry's face lit up. "I'm pregnant?"

Draco nodded. "Six weeks. The doctor said the stress caused your heart rate to go up. He warned me if it did not come down I might lose you and our daughter."

Harry grabbed his husband's hand. "No wonder you look as if you did not sleep. Both me and Lily in the hospital. Draco I'm so sorry."

Draco just kissed his hand. "You and Lily didn't mean to try and give me a heart attack. Or our new little daughter either."

Finally the daughter reference sunk in. "Its a girl?"

Draco nodded. "The doctor told me, so I could be prepared if I had to choose a name."

Harry did not need to ask why. "Is the baby okay?"

"You're both going to be fine. You'll have to take it easy until she's born. The doctor said no bed rest unless you over due it."

Harry smiled. "I promise I'm going to take very good care of myself and this little one." As he placed his hand on his stomach.

Draco nodded. "If you don't I am going to spell you to the bed until she's born."

Lily had been listening to the byplay but did not understand so Draco looked at her. "Lily, we have a birthday gift for you."

Lily smiled. "What?"

Harry kissed her head. "How would you like a baby sister?"

That definitely made Lily's smile broaden as she began to bounce on the bed in excitement until Draco stopped her and warned her not to hurt her daddy or her baby sister. The three of them spent the rest of the day alone together as most of the family headed home to get some real rest. They thought after all of this that the little family needed some time alone.

A week later Harry and Lily were finally coming home. Well home in the form of Malfoy Manor. Narcissa did not want them alone in Grimauld place so until they went to Hogwarts in September, they had agreed to stay with Draco's parents. The wedding reception and a belated birthday for Lily would be held in a week's time when Harry was up for it.

Before they left the hospital Harry stopped. "Is she still here?"

Draco knew who the She referred to and nodded his head. "She'll be here for another week or so before she can face trial and prison."

Harry handed Lily to Fred. "Go with Uncle Fred for bit sweety, Papa and I have one last thing to do."

Draco stopped Harry half way to Ginny's room. "Are you sure? You're supposed to keep calm?"

Harry nodded. "I'm not going to do anything to risk this baby I promise you but I need to see that woman."

Draco was reluctant but he agreed and with Harry's hand in his the two of them walked to the room where the auror on guard permitted them entrance and after one deep breath they walked into the hospital room to confront the woman who had caused the start of all of this.

"Ginny" Harry's voice cut the silence.
