Chapter 17 - I'm Coming Home
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Alek Sellers knew what he had to do. What he owed to the very people that had helped out his country. He just wasn't sure how to repay them all. He knew how to repay one of them, it was the only way. Alek sat at his desk looking over the last of the files before making the call. He brused them aside and picked up the phone calling on a long time friend. The muggle American President. His direct line due to their status in this world they must have contact. Things that others knew nothing about had to be relayed somehow.
He picked up the phone and pressed the special key. Two rings later the friendly voice was on the other side.
" Michael, dear old friend how are you? "
" Alek to what do I owe this rare phone call, and I am doing well despite what is going on around us. "
" Well, where to begin? "
Alek relayed all the information needed to Michael knowing he would have to know the full story. He would have to reveal things to get what he needed even if they weren't always important.
" So you see Michael I need for him to be here within the next 2 months can you do this for me? "
" Anything Alek just as if we needed anything of you, you always come through. You have my word. "
" Thank you Michael. I hope we get to talk like this more often. Not the usual something bad is happening talks we were so use to at first. Take care my friend and thank you once again. "
He hung the phone up and a smile spread across his face. He may not be able to repay all of them for their rolls in what had just happend a few nights ago but this one he could.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Draco sat in the tattoo shop watching Kylie tattoo angel wings onto the upper right shoulder blade of a woman who was about 25. Ethan was to be tattoo'd in arch just above them. Her son, her miracle child, her little angel. She was telling Kylie all about him , everything her and her husband had gone through, told they would never have children together until one day when Ethan was discovered to be growing inside of her.
Just then the door opened and 2 familiar faces were in the room , Draco turned.
" Blaise? Neville? What are you two doing here? "
" Well it's good to see you too Draco. " They shared a laugh.
" Oh shush I mean , why are you here aren't you supost to be away on a mission? "
" Oh yeah that, well it's taken care of and we were givin 2 weeks off so we decided to stop by and visit everyone. We heard you were here helping out with the shop and wanted to check it out. " Blaise told his friend.
" Cool , I'm glad your here come on, I'll show ya around the place. Maybe send you home with a few new holes in your head. " Draco smirked.
" Funny Dray , Are you sure those new holes in your head haven't done any damage? I don't think my face needs anything shiny sticking out of it. "
" Just come on. " He led them through to the gallery to where Riha's work was displayed. "
An Hour Later -
" I wondered if you would ever take back up your art obsession. You always were talented Draco. " Blaise told him as he and Neville were flipping through Draco's portfolio of art.
" Yeah, being here just brings it out in me. The fact that Harry and I have taken up the art together is well. It just brings it out more. Learning all of this stuff, the art form itself. Actually putting your art onto people is something all different. Harry is amazing with his art but when it comes to actually tattooing it forget it. He is a piercer. I do the tattoo's with Kylie and Tim and Riha is doing all the buisness part. It's pretty awesome. Totally off the beaten path we thought our lives would be on. "
" I'd say so Dray, Do you like it here? "
" I love it. It's going to be so hard to leave it all. " He wore a frown now.
" Why don't you set up shop in London? You could do it. "
" Yeah , not to many of them there and I have seen some of the work in some of those shops. Don't ask. It's not nearly as good as this. " Neville said as he looked through Harry's portfolio.
" I've never really thought about it. I don't know if thats what Harry would want to do. "
" Than ask him . No harm in that. "
" Will you do mine? " Asked Neville.
Heads snapped in his direction. " What? "
" Mine , I want a tattoo. "
" Neville, are you sure about this? "
" I wouldn't of asked if I wasn't. "
" Wow I never would of imagined Neville. " Blaise looked at him with amazement.
" I'm loaded with suprises. " he smiled.
" And what did you have in mind? "
" Why don't you just suprise me. "
" Well then if your sure. Lets get you seated then. "
Draco took Neville and Blaise back into the shop area and preped Neville for his tattoo. He was putting this one on Neville's hip bone. Blaise kept him occupied so that the pain wouldn't be so bad and Draco could work without revealing what he was doing.
A few hours later Draco was finished with a satisfied smirk written on his face. He showed Blaise first then let Neville see it. They were both pleased and new exactly what it was. Two black panthers lay curled up together looking adoringly at each other. One bore hazel green eyes the other pale blue. Neville and Blaise in animagus form. They both had a passion for the animals along with tigers and jaguars. It was no suprise that both of them took the form years ago.
" I don't think I could of picked a better one mate. Great work by the way. Wasn't even that painful. I guess sucking down some pain relieaving potion and having Blaise to distract me had something to do with it. I heard that place was painful to have done. "
" Yeah well I'm just that good. " He smirked again.
" Still so full of yourself. Good to see somethings never change. " Blaise commented.
" Yeah well what can I say. Come on lets go and see Harry and Riha they will be happy to see the both of you. Maybe Harry can poke a few holes in you while your here. "
" Not a fat chance in hell. " Blaise spit back.
" Well he can always try I guess. " Draco laughed.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Riha was now almost 8 months along. She was only coming to the shop twice a week. One day she would bring some of her new art in and place it in her portfolio and the other day she would do work on the computer and the paper work that needed to be done. She hadn't heard from Brad in almost 2 weeks and it was starting to bother her. She was use to this sort of thing but the hormones were only making it worse for her to deal with. She would try to busy herself and create new designs. It would only pass the time away for a little while before her emotions would eat her up.
Draco , Kylie, Tim and Harry rotated days to stay home and keep Riha company when she wasn't at the shop with them. Some nights when it was unbareable for her you could find her snuggled up inbetween Harry and Draco in bed sobbing herself back to sleep. They really hated to see her this way but they both tried their best to console her when they would wake up to her crawling inbetween them for comfort. These days it seemed they were the only two who could keep her calm.
Tonight was a different night though. Riha had came in sobbing harder then ever. Draco had sprung from the bed unable to calm her down along with Harry at their side. Both were at a loss. They thought at first she might be in labor but she wasn't. She really wouldn't talk either. Just cried until she was almost out of breath. She would fall asleep for a few minutes and then before either of them could move an inch she was awake and crying all the harder. Draco looked at the clock 1:45am. He let out a breath and continued to rock Riha. Something that was keeping her calm for the time being and a knock came to the front door downstairs.
" I wonder who in the hell that could be? " Whispered Harry.
" I don't know."
" I'll go find out. I hope they don't wake her up. This is the longest she has slept all night and 10 minutes is not long enough. "
Harry made his way quietly down the stairs. Silently cussing who ever was at the door and they better pray they don't wake Riha up. Harry drug himself closer and wrenched open the door ready to give whoever it was a down right cussing to say the least followed by a hex into next week, but stopped short when he realized who was standing before him .
" Brad? What in the hell. Get in here. "
" Nice to see you too Harry. "
" What are you doing here, How? Oi Riha is going to...Oh My get up here now. She has been in an unusual mood to say the least tonight. Draco and I have been trying to calm her down all night, she won't stop crying, she won't talk, we have done everything short of placing a silencing charm on her or knocked her out but won't because of the babies. "
Harry raced up the stairs taking them 2 at a time with Brad right behind him. He stopped suddenly when he reached the door and slowly opend it. Hoping not to wake Riha up this way.
" Dray, you are not going to believe this , look. " He slowly opend the door to reveal Brad standing there. Draco kept rocking Riha and ushered them in quietly. He nodded for Brad to wake his sleeping wife slowly.
" Riha, Riha honey wake up." He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead after brushing back the hair from her face. He slowly placed his hand on her swollen belly and gently rubbed in a circular motion. " Riha ...It's me honey wake up. " She slowly began to stir.
" Brad? She croaked out horsely. " and slowly opend her eyes but with the way her head was turned all she saw was Draco and began to cry softly again. " Draco, I thought you were Brad, I could of swore. "
Before she could finish her sentence Draco turned her head and there they were face to face finally after all those months.
" You weren't dreaming honey, I'm really here. " He picked her up out of Draco's arms and held her to him. She sobbed again trying to talk all the same but nothing was understandable.
Harry and Draco slipped out of the room and went downstairs to make some tea they were exhausted and thirsty and knew they would find out in the morning how Brad made it home. Right now they were silently thanking whoever was responsible for it even if it was their worst enemy.
Exhausted beyond belief the two never made it back up the stairs for sleep, with the wave of Harry's wand he turned the couch into a huge bed and he and Draco both collapsed on it. There was no waking them now, unless it was a life or death situation.
The next morning neither of them woke from their deep slumber. They were both so exhausted not even the noise of the other occupants nor the smell of breakfast made them stir. Kylie and Tim laughed at the two and after eating they levitated them up to their own rooms where they slept the entire day , not making a sound or even stiring to use the bathroom and thats exactly how they were found later on that night. Still knocked out in their bed, only now they were intertwined in each others arms.
