I'LL SAY THIS NOW IN ADVANCE

I AM SOOO SORRY!

THERE.

Jam-jam just wanted to be home.

He was surrounded by soldiers and weapons and yelling and he hated it. Once the captives were freed from the terrorist group, they had been sent to a nearby American camp. There was limited space, so Harry, Draco, the kids, Lucius, Severus, Sasuke, and Hinata had to share one small tent. To say it was hot and humid would be an understatement. They were in the middle of a desert and the days were hot, the nights were cold, and there wasn't enough room. Poor baby Pyxis and Cygnus both had heat rashes and jam-jam chafed like no tomorrow. Draco had to help out the soldiers with the heavy labor work and Severus had been called upon to aid the defense chief, as he had been in the Britain army before he had met Lucius.

Sasuke was growing bigger every day. His stress levels were not good and the fact that camp was breached the night before was not helping anyone. Everyone got one phone call a day and 30 minutes of internet time. Draco used his time wisely, and was able to get a hold of his company. He learned that he was all over the news in Britain and that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Sasuke learned that his youngest son needed emergency surgery; the boy had a chronic heart disease and would most likely die in the next week if the surgery wasn't completed successfully. harry didn't have anyone to call, so he usually gave Draco his time and phone calls to allow Draco to work on his company while Harry would take care of the children.

It had been a heavy few weeks at the terrorist base, but this was too much for Harry.

"ba-ba?" jam-jam asked from his seat beside Cygnus.

"Yes, honey?" Harry asked tiredly. No-one had gotten much sleep.

"I wanna go home." Jam-jam small voice wavered and fat tears fell from his green eyes.

Harry scooped him up into his arms and held him tightly. He couldn't say that he regretted ever meeting Draco. But so many horrible things happened to him that he almost wished he had met someone else. Harry immediately squashed the idea down. He loved Draco and Draco loved him, how could he wish that he had never met him? Draco was the one who helped him through each and every bump and fall in the road, and when they had argued that one time, it was Draco who calmed him down. It was Draco who had made it possible for jam-jam to have his medications and know what it was to be a kid, and not have to worry if his ba-ba and him were gonna have dinner the next night.

Harry began to sob. The feelings and guilt of sorrow just became too much for him. He absently felt Sasuke rub his back, but all he could think of was how everything just had to go against him. He almost expected Voldemort to escape prison and kill everyone.

"We'll get out of here, alright jam-chan?" Sasuke soothed. He used his softest voice and smiled as the boy wiped his tears on his arm.

Jam-jam just hoped that they would get out of there alive and in one piece.

The next morning dawned bright and early. A few birds chirped and the night's chill still lingered in the air. The crisp air made Pyxis sneeze.

Jam-jam giggled at the baby. He was the only other person awake, save for Cygnus, who was sitting up, sucking on his blanket.

"We have to be quiet, Pyxis, or we'll wake everyone up." Jam-jam whispered.

Jam-jam rubbed the green eyed baby's belly, and watched as he fell asleep. He smiled to himself, proud of how grown up he felt. He then turned to Cygnus, who looked up at him with big silver eyes. Jam-jam noted that he was big baby. Maybe he was hungry.

"Let's go find a nice soldier who could get us some food, okay?" jam-jam whispered. Cygnus crawled after him as they made their way through the camp. Jam-jam made sure to watch Cygnus closely, so that he didn't bump into anything and watched out for anyone who could help them.

Finally, he spotted a soldier enroute to the food tent.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" jam-jam called out. The soldier looked towards them with a puzzled expression on his clean shaven face.

The soldier was a muscular black man. His skin was dark and his hair was short. His eyes held concern as he stooped down to look at jam-jam.

"What are you two doing out here alone? Are you lost?" he asked. He thanked his lucky stars that he was able to catch the two before they wandered out of the camp. He would hate for his own daughters to get lost like this.

"Yes, sir. Me and Cygnus want to eat. But we need help." Jam-jam explained. He smiled as Cygnus grabbed his pant leg and sat on the ground beside him.

"You two shouldn't be out here all alone. Are your parents here with you?" the soldier asked as he lifted Cygnus off of the sandy ground and wiped his dirty hands with the rag he kept in his back pocket.

"My ba-ba is still asleep, but I was hungry and I think Cygnus is too." Jam-jam explained, taking the hand of the soldier as they began to head back towards the tent. "Do you know where I can get some food for my family?"

"We'll need to get back in your tent, safe and sound before we can get some food." The soldier said. "Your family must be worried."

"You're right! I shouldn't have left! I'm gonna be in so much trouble!" jam-jam began to wheeze, his chest heaved and his throat constricted. He froze in his steps, his green eyes panicked. "Cant' breath…"

"Hey, hey!" the soldier immediately reached into one of the many pockets on his vest and pulled out an inhaler. He shook it and gave jam-jam a puff. His eyes were searching jam-jam's face for any signs that he would need additional attention. "Do you have asthma?"

Jam-jam nodded his little head. His eyes watered as he hung his head. He knew that he should always have his inhalers but he forgot them. His ba-ba and Draco would be so angry when they found out!

Jam-jam was not right. Harry was not angry, just worried out of his right mind. He was so relieved when the soldier returned with a nervous jam-jam and a happy Cygnus.

"You're not mad ba-ba?" jam-jam asked tentatively.

"Not in the least, baby!" Harry said, hugging jam-jam tightly. "Just don't ever do that again!"

"Sorry…"

It was only a few days before the entire group boarded a military aircraft and flew to Japan. Draco was thankful that they were finally away from the violence and stress. Harry was happy that jam-jam was out of the dusty air. Hinata was glad to see her family again and Sasuke was ecstatic to see his husband and children again.

Lucius and Severus were able to relax with Cygnus in their cozy town house in the Tokyo suburbs, and Draco and Harry settled into the crazy fast life of the heart of Tokyo. They loved the different places and sights to see and they couldn't wait to see the Tokyo tower.

Jam-jam loved to see the different people and have lots of sweet and sour chicken. And Pyxis, well, let's say that Pyxis pooped much more at ease.

~11 years later~~

"Bub', I'm going out!" a 15 year old jam-jam yelled to Harry from the front door.

"Where are you going?" Harry yelled from the kitchen. His large, round belly brushing against the counter.

The family had lived in the heart of Tokyo for 11 years. In that time, Harry and Draco got married, and had two beautiful children together. They were currently expecting the third. They loved the life that they had, as Draco had much more time to spend with the family and jam-jam had so many options for future careers and Pyxis was thriving.

"Jam-jam! Wait! I wanna come! I wanna come!" a small girl with light blonde ringlets and emerald green eyes ran down to the front door, wearing footie pajamas and a Santa hat.

"Not this time, Andy." Jam-jam said, donning his jacket.

"Please!" Andromeda, Andy for short, pouted cutely, she put her little hands to her chest in tiny fists.

"He's gonna do boring, grown up stuff with Ichigo." 11 year old Pyxis teased, walking from around the corner. "His booooy-friend"

"For the last time, he's not my boyfriend and no you can't come because it's too cold and 'bub, I'm going to the grocery store to buy some egg-nog, do you need anything?" jam-jam said, ushering the children into the kitchen.

"You know what, if you don't mind waiting, we can go in the car." Harry suggested, turning the stove off under the rice. "I was planning on going gift shopping today, I'm sure you were going to get some things too."

"Yea, sure I guess." Jam-jam said. He peeled his jacket off and pulled out his iPod 8 (A/N: how far do you think iPods will go?) and began texting Ichigo. He sighed as he thought about his ~Ichigo~. The boy was 6"4, muscled and a perfect gentleman. He got straight As, he was on the honor roll and he was going to be on the varsity football team, which consisted of the best of the best. And he was to be their star player. Ichigo was everybody's wet dream.

The family had settled down into this life well and they were very much at ease.

The end…

OKAY, lemme explain

life has been really hectic to me lately and i kind wrote this spasmodically and rushed. so, this is really bad and the ending is horribly anti-clmactic.
