In Tallen forest
Harry was fuming he didn't know why Draco was refusing his gift, the symbol of his love for him. Sitting on a stump he was nudged by Storm.
"Hey boy," replied Harry going to place a hand on the wolfs head, he moved away and just looked at him "your mad at me too huh?"
The wolf didn't reply but Harry never expected it to, but it did tilt its head to the side as though in acknowledgment.
"Draco's probably scared out of his wits right now… I'm such an idiot…" he slunk down so his head was now in his hands "what kind of a husband will I be? He was right, Ron and I can provide but will it be enough? You know meats scarce because of the magic near these parts." Harry looked down at Storm who was watching him quietly.
"I still can't believe that he would say such a thing," Harry gazed out to the barn, and then Storm whined "ok," he shivered a bit "I need to talk to Draco."
Storm on que got up and began trotting off towards the hedges, Harry's heart froze… there were not only dangerous animals on the hunt out there but the men that they encountered earlier too…his Angel and baby might be in danger. He took off in a run praying he would find him in time, safe and sound.
Draco's Prov Tallen forest
The two men raced after him, he was terrified and his pregnancy was making him slow, deciding to take a chance he lept off the path and hid under some fallen trees. The feet thundered by and Draco held his breath. A few minutes of silence and he crawled out of his hiding spot only to hear.
"Draconis?" is was Severus' voice and Draco cursed inwardly "Draconis is that you?"
The voice was behind Draco and he tucked his arms into his pockets to make the pregnancy less noticeable.
Severus finally reached him and looked into the fear filled face "by Salazar princess it is you."
Draco just looked down unable to say anything when Severus grabbed his arm now furious "Do you have any idea what you put us through? You could have died! How dare you!"
Draco flinched "I had too," he whimpered.
"What would ever posses you to run away of all things?" lectured Severus knowing that yelling and being cruel would get no where with him.
"I…" everything came crashing down; he had run away because he didn't want to marry Prince Potter when he found him anyway. He was frightened of getting pregnant so early in his life and here he sat hiding it from one of the only people he could ever trust. It all seemed so stupid now. But fate always plays her plans out.
"I what?" asked Severus getting impatient.
"I was afraid, and tired of people treating me like glass," I admitted truthfully "but I'm alright now. I'm in love."
"Draconis you have a duty to your kingdom," Severus lectured "I'm happy that you found love but you have no choice but to return with me, I'm under command by your father."
"I can't travel," I whispered knowing he heard.
"What do you mean you can't…" he trailed off and became quite pale as I moved my cloak aside and there was my pregnant stomach "Oh gods Draconis, do you have any idea what you have done?"
Harry's Prov
It wasn't hard to follow the footsteps and paw prints were easy to read in the snow. But I picked up the pace when I saw the two extra sets. Storm then whimpered and I followed worried. It was his sister; she was unconscious but thankfully not hurt.
"Stormy stay with her, I'll be back," I ran off down the snowy path praying he wasn't hurt.
His footsteps led off the path a ways up, and the two extra sets continued on the path, I followed the smaller of the three and heard Draco's voice talking with a mans, "Draco?"
I heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed and worried, pulling my own I barrelled into a small clearing. A black haired man was holding the sword with Draco behind him.
"Sev don't," pleaded Draco and the man continued his glare towards me.
"Your name, state it?" he barked at me.
"And who are you?" I questioned back "and what do you plan to do with my fiancé?"
"He's safe, he's my godson," replied Severus "now your name?"
"Harry Evans," I replied and realization dawned in his eyes as he looked into mine.
"Don't you mean Potter? Those eyes so much like your mothers." He replied a small note of respect, but not much.
I froze as I watched Draco and beckoned him over he came to me and this man, Sev, didn't stop him.
"Its must be predestined, you two were most defiantly meant to be together," replied Severus and I looked confused and Draco looked ashamed.
"What?" I questioned.
"Draconis tell him the truth," urged Severus.
"I found out a short while ago that you really are Prince Harry," Draco admitted and I looked surprised "I was terrified to tell you the truth. And then I realized that we can't run from each other. My real name is Draconis Malfoy. Your princess."
"Oh Merlin," replied Harry quietly "why didn't you tell me?
"I didn't know how, but Evans or Potter I still would have given up the throne for you, because I love the real you," Draco replied and Harry pulled me close.
"I would and thought I had done the same for you," he smiled and I watched the relieved look on my angels face "but what about this guy?"
"Eventually we will have to return to the kingdom to be married," Draco replied "and Severus will have to take a message to my father. I will stay with you; I'm in no condition to travel being nearly six months pregnant."
I nodded and watched the black haired man nod. "The princess has been safe with you for this long; we can wait the three months till the child's born. It will be spring by that time and easier to travel. As for getting news to your father the passes are blocked with snow," replied Severus.
"Then you will just have to stay with us," Draco replied "the house seems to adapt and change to our needs."
"There are other's with me," replied Severus "you know them, Vince and Greg."
"I hope I know my own guards," Draco smiled as Harry's arm tightened a bit, I figured he was jealous at being left out and myself knowing so many other men.
"I'll round them up," assured Severus "but I would like you to get out of the cold."
"Alright then," Draco shivered as though now remembering it was cold outside "Harry will let you in to the house," then stopping "Harry I can't go back yet. Something terrible happened to Lunte."
"She's alright, just unconscious. Storms with her," assured Harry but seeing his Angel wouldn't back down "I'll take you to them."
"Thank you," Draco smiled as we all trudged up the path. Thankfully Lunte was alright, just a bit stunned. We walked back to the hedges and I whispered the password. Harry gave it to Severus so he could stay with me longer.
Once inside the warm house, I watched the wolves curl up in front of the fire and Harry pressed a hot cup of tea into my hands, and a blanket around my shivering frame.
"I love you," Harry whispered into my ear.
"I love you too, I'm glad you don't hate me," I smiled.
"I could never," replied Harry "you're my Angel."
Things got much easier with three more hunters around, even if it meant that they would have more mouths to feed. But at least Harry was home more, my mood was still sour. Severus knew I hated being kept.
It was nearing spring and the snow was melting. We had all agreed to wait till the baby was born before we traveled into Malfoy kingdom. I was huge. It took a fair bit out of me to walk around the house and I could feel worried eyes on me everywhere I went.
Draco had been sleeping a fair bit lately and I was worried about my Angel, worried that he might die in the birthing of our child.
"He's stronger then we give him credit for," assured Severus looking down at the worried prince "Male pregnancies are harder then normal ones that's probably why people think they are so delicate."
"Draco's proven he's not," replied Harry clutching a cup of tea "I was training him before he got pregnant and he was remarkable. He told me he's never even held a weapon until I gave him one, he's a natural."
"I figured as much," replied Severus as the door creaked open and Draco came in, he gave Harry a kiss and took an apple from the bowl on the table.
One look at the two men and Draco scowled "you were talking about me again."
"Were only worried," assured Harry "you would tell us if you need anything?"
"I would if I needed it," Draco replied taking a bite in a ferocious manner "where's everyone else?"
"Hermione's in the barn and the other three are on the hunt," I replied looking at him softly.
"You're doing it again," he wasn't even looking at me as he took another bite.
"Sorry love, you're just glowing," I smiled kissing his cheek.
"Hermione says people 'glow' as you put it when they are having a boy," he placed his hand over his protruding stomach "what do you think love?"
"I don't know," I put my hand over his "maybe a boy, maybe a girl, maybe both."
He swatted me playfully, "that would be horrid, and I would be having a litter!"
I heard Severus chuckle but swiftly changed the topic when he received an evil eye from his princess "as long as the child's healthy."
"Harry," he asked softly.
"Yes my love?"
"We have not thought of names yet," he smiled.
"We shall think of something perfect," I assured him "I mean you named everything else living on the farm."
He blushed, looking towards his shoes, "you'll never let me live it down will you?"
"Nope," kissing him again "If it's a girl?"
He pondered for a moment "I don't know."
"You could follow your mother's traditions," Severus suggested "the girls after flowers."
Draco's nose wrinkled "like Daisy? Or Rose? I don't like it."
I agreed "thanks for trying, any idea's for boys names then?"
"Scorpius," Draco replied after a moment "it follows the Malfoy tradition of 'light' names."
"And Draconis?" I questioned.
"Stars are light," he replied "why don't you like it?"
"It's different," I replied honestly then quickly added "but not bad."
I saw his smile and grinned back "then its agreed Scorpius will be the name for the first son," I watched him pause "Scorpius Malfoy-Potter, but we still need more names, a girl and a second son."
I nearly choked on my tea, "hum?"
"We must have two heirs, one for the Potter kingdom and one for the Malfoy," Draco reminded and I nodded.
"Leo," I joked and Draco nodded enthusiastically "for the constellations', we should name the first born Leo, for the Potter kingdom, your crest is a lion."
"Leo Malfoy Potter," I liked the way it sounded "middle names?"
"Severus some impute if you have any?" he asked happily, I was pleased he finally had some energy back; the baby was taking a lot out of him.
"Your names perhaps, grandparents?" he suggested
"Leo Draco? Leo Harry?" Draco sing-songed out "Leo Lucius? Leo James?"
With a wider grin "Leo Sirius? Leo Remus? Leo Severus? Leo Ron? Leo Alexander?"
"No not Ron," Draco argued gently "so far I like Leo Lucius and Alexander… who was named Alexander?"
"My grandfather," I replied "Leo Alexander Malfoy Potter, I like it a lot."
Draco rubbed his belly, "he's kicking again, and I guess he does too. My little Leo."
"And Scorpius Abraxas for your grandfather?" suggested Severus and Draco nodded.
"Leo Alexander and Scorpius Abraxas, now I just need a girls name," sighed Draco rising from his chair and grabbing a quill, ink and paper.
"I could have gotten them for…" I started but got a look and quickly became quiet. Draco wrote them.
"I've always like the name Serena," he looked up "what do you think Harry?"
"We would be following the light pattern," I replied.
Draco wrote them down "middle names my grandmothers name was Lyra if were following a pattern."
"Mine was Clair," I replied "Serena Clair or Serena Lyra?"
"I don't like either of them," Draco replied listing them off again "Serena Lilly, Serena Narcissa, Serena Hermione…"
"Wait Angel Serena Lilly has a nice ring too it," I suggested Draco paused then wrote.
"We have our future family, for the first boy Leo Alexander Malfoy Potter, the second son Scorpius Abraxas Malfoy Potter and the daughter Serena Lilly Malfoy Potter."
He stood quickly and threw his arms around me, "Love you Angel."
"I love you too," he smiled pulling away with tears, "excuse me, my hormones are acting up again," he left the room and I found myself looking at the soft expression on his godfathers face.
"from what I have seen you'll be good to him, but remember he's not glass, and doesn't liked to be kept," Severus spoke calmly "but if you ever hurt him Potter, prince or not I'll kill you even at the cost of trading my life for yours." He got up and left the room leaving me stunned at the exchange. But I knew it was for the best that I was warned. I was just happy my life was going so well. My child was on its way, it should arrive any time in the next few weeks. I just lent back in my chair dreaming of all the things I would teach my son or daughter when they came into the world. I planned to be the best husband and father anyone could hope for.
Just as I pictured showing my son to hold a sword I heard a crash come from down the hall, I toppled over in my chair as I heard a cry.
"Harry!" it was Angel.
