Harry\s pregnancy had been quite an easy one other then the fainting spells which had stopped nearly all together once Harry left off any practical work. Moody had been thrilled to learn Harry was pregnant, he cared deeply for his young protégé, Harry having filled the role once held by his godfather and dad's wife. He would never be a street auror but he still did Moody quite proud. He was happy to help Harry all he could so he could finish his training on time or nearly on time, without putting any pressure on his pregnancy or forcing him from paternity leave before he was ready to be. Severus had no doubt that his husband would return to work after only a few months and probably be doing studies long before that anyways for Harry had never been one to sit and do nothing.
In the end of June there were memorials every where for the final battle. Harry went with his husband, his Dad and brother, and the Malfoys, to the one at school. The Weasleys had been there of course and Hermione had been accompanied by Viktor. They had a lunch after the ceremony at the Burrow. Hermione had surprised them when she announced she and Viktor were engaged, since it had only been a year since Ron had died. But Molly and Arthur were some of the happiest for her. Lucius and Remus were going strong but it would be some time before Remus was willing to get that far, but he had also been married at the time and had a son.
Though they had been happy to be there for the Weasleys and Harry for his dad, Harry and his dad were both happy to get away for the week with their other halves. Andromeda and Ted had been happy to take their grandson home with them. They raised Teddy for three months alone before the war ended and Harry and Remus with Teddy stayed with them for a month after. Teddy and in a way Harry was the only family they had left and never had a second thought when asked to take him.
They spent a week in the South of France and came back in time for the three month mark for Harry. They could have had it in France but Harry wanted Draco and Teddy to be there for it for they were a part of his life. They were to go to the Burrow to tell the Weasleys and Tonks when they were done.
Harry was nervous when they went into the hospital."I don't know why I am so nervous; I guess it is just the excitemet. I have wanted to see this baby so much."
Severus kissed him tenderly. "I want to see this baby as much as you do and find out if the nursery needs to be blue or pink."
They were both happy either way; they just wanted to have a beautiful healthy baby in their arms in six months time. They both hoped for at least one little girl down the line but they would be over the moon about a little boy. They were both talking nurseries even though Harry had never thought to see that side of his husband but it had definitely made him smile from it. He kept picturing his husband holding their baby for the first time in his arms.
Remus loved watching his son pregnant and enjoying it, something he had missed with Tonks a lot. Tonks was with her parents the later months before she gave birth He was happy his son had his husband by his side through all of this but he was even happier that he was with his son through all of this.
When Harry was on the table Remus kissed his son on the head."It always seems more real when you see the baby for the first time, see that little image."
Harry smiled as the healer started the exam."It has been morning sickness and the one sonogram so far. It will be nice to have the picture."
The image of the baby appeared on the screen as his husband was echoing his thoughts, for he did not have the little one growing inside of him. When the baby started to move and there was a baby bump it would become more and more real for them but as they watched the image and the healer assured them their little baby was healthy and strong, and they saw all of the different parts. Even Lucius and Draco were drinking in the sight, Teddy not sure what was happening in his dad's arms.
Harry reached out and touched the magic screen."My little baby."
Severus had tears in his eyes."Are we having a little boy or girl?"
They all beamed when the healer told them the news and the man had printed numerous copies of the ultrasound image for them. They knew many at the lunch waiting for them would want a copy of the ultrasound picture for them. Harry could not wait to share the news of his healthy baby with those he loved, and start planning for the rest of his pregnancy and for the birth of the baby as well.
Remus handed his son a little stuffed rabbit which he had turned from green for the right color."I wanted to be the first one to give my grandbaby a gift."
Harry smiled as he hugged the little bunny to him."Now if I could just convince everyone else to give gifts like this and not give me some baby shower."
As he headed to the Burrow and they told the news and passed out pictures he knew he was right about the baby shower, there was already talking about it. Harry just shook his head and his husband reminded him they just loved him and wanted the best for the baby. Harry was reminded of how much of his life he had spent alone without family other than abusive relatives. It was at Hogwarts he had finally found friends and loved ones, and his little baby would have so much love in their life.
