A/N: Hey all. So, one thing to address first. I've had many questions about Ron and Hermione about whether they're still around or why they never got fired or punished for everything that happened. As I told one person, all very good questions and all with very limited answers. :P This story was very unorganized when I wrote it and, I admit, it still is, despite what changes I've made. This story was rushed even when I really didn't rush to finish it. Things happen. Anyways, about Ron and Hermione. Hermione still works at Hogwarts and Ron is still an Auror. Yes, I know that they should have been fired or punished for everything they did and I'd go back and change it, but then I'd have to change a bunch of the story to fit it in. However, please keep these things in mind as they can be solved at the end of the story. Just, please, trust me. :P
Anyways, I'm glad you all liked the last chapter and I hope you enjoy this one as well. Don't forget to review. Thank you. :]
Warnings: Mentions of MPREG. Probably age and time screw ups (such as how long Harry and Severus have been married, etc.). Fluff.
Three Years Later
"Papa!" fourteen year old Teddy Lupin Potter-Snape called as he walked past his parents' room.
Three years had gone by since Teddy was adopted by his fathers. His Aunt Luna had married his Uncle Sebastian two years earlier and his Uncle Dean had married Uncle Matt just a few months after Aunt Luna's wedding. Aunt Luna and Uncle Sebastian had had their first child just six months earlier. They had a girl that they named Skyler Madison. His best friend, Victoire Delacour-Weasley had started Hogwarts and was now in her third year at Hogwarts. Victoire's brother, Daniel had started his first year at Hogwarts this year as well.
His Uncles Fred and George were still single but everyone had a feeling that they would probably stay that way. They were perfectly happy with their joke shop/apothecary and each other. Everyone knew it would be impossible for them to split up because they got girlfriends. They were just too close.
Sadly, his cousin Benji had graduated the year Teddy went into his second year but they still saw him often as Benji still lived his father and worked in Diagon Alley where he was apprenticing with Mr. Ollivander.
"What is it, Teddy?" Severus asked from the kitchen.
"Dad's sick again," Teddy said, walking into the kitchen and sitting at the table.
"Again?" Severus repeated and Teddy nodded. Severus sighed, placing Teddy's breakfast on the table in front of him. "That's the fourth time this week."
"Fifth," Teddy said, cutting a piece of his pancakes and eating it.
"Fifth?"
"He was sick yesterday too but didn't say anything," Teddy said and Severus shook his head, leaving the kitchen.
Walking through the bedroom, Severus pushed open the bathroom door to see his husband of six years lying on the floor next to the toilet, his forehead pressed against the tiles.
"Harry, what is going on? You've been sick all week," Severus said, dampening a cloth and pressing it against Harry's forehead.
"I'm going to go see Matt and Jack today, but I think that potion may have worked," Harry said, groaning quietly at the feeling of his rolling stomach.
Severus looked down at him, surprised. "Really?"
Harry nodded.
"But you took it two months ago."
"You said it works for six months so I'm thinking it worked."
"Make sure to get checked out today, love," Severus said, helping pull Harry to his feet. "Make sure it's nothing serious."
"I will, Sev'rus," Harry smiled at him and Severus kissed his cheek.
"Do you think you can eat something?" Severus asked, walking out of the bedroom with Harry.
"Maybe some toast and eggs and milk," Harry said, allowing Severus to push him into his seat across from Teddy at the table. "Are you going to Hogsmeade with Victoire today?"
"Yeah, just for an hour or so," Teddy nodded.
"Stay together," Harry said.
"I know, Dad," Teddy said.
"Be respectful, Teddy," Severus admonished, putting a plate of toast and eggs in front of Harry. "Eat."
"Yes, Mother," Harry said, he and Teddy laughing as Severus smacked him over the head. "Hey, be nice to me. I'm ill."
"By your own choice," Severus said, sitting next to him with a cup of coffee.
"If I recall, you were a part of this, especially if it worked," Harry said, pointing his fork at him. Severus just smirked and drank his coffee.
"Have fun, you two!" Harry called, waving at his son and Victoire as they left the school to go down to the village.
"Bye, Dad!" Teddy said.
"Bye, Uncle Harry!" Victoire said.
Harry watched them go before turning and heading for the infirmary. He didn't have to work that day but had an appointment set up with his assistant, Matt, the husband of Dean Thomas, and his surrogate father, Jack Catella. He wasn't sure what was making him ill but he had a feeling that the potion he had taken two months earlier had worked.
He and Severus had been married for six years now and were still as happy as the day they got together, as in love as the day they got together. However, now, for the last year, they had been discussing a new option…they had been discussing children. Yes, they had Teddy and had had him for nine, almost ten years and they loved him more than anything but they hadn't gotten him until he was five. They found themselves wanting another child, a child that was the two of them together, a child they could raise from birth. So, Severus had brewed an Impregnation Potion for males and Harry had taken it two months earlier.
Walking into the infirmary, he found it empty but heard the voices coming from the office. He crossed the room and stood in the doorway, watching Matt and Jack play a game of chess.
"That's an effective use of your work time," Harry said and their heads snapped up to him.
"It's Saturday so I don't work," Jack said.
"There are no patients," Matt defended and Harry laughed. "Here for that appointment you requested?"
"Yeah," Harry nodded. "I've been sick for the last week and I just wanted to get checked out."
"You mean Severus wanted you to get checked out," Jack said and Harry chuckled.
"That too."
"All right, let's get this done so you can assure that husband of yours that you're not about to drop dead," Jack said and Harry laughed again, returning to the empty infirmary with Jack and Matt following. With a silent chuckle, Harry sat on the bed that had always been his when he was in school.
"Anything you think it might be?" Matt asked, taking out his wand.
"I have an idea but I want to be sure," Harry said with a smile. Matt nodded and began waving his wand in all kinds of patterns over his body. Different colours floated around, giving results to the three Healers and it wasn't until the last test that Harry got nervous. Matt waved his wand in a complicated pattern and a ball of yellow appeared on Harry's abdomen. Matt glanced at Harry with a frown and turned to Jack, telling him to do the same scan. Jack did and got the same results, results that all three of them knew.
"Well," Jack said, clearly surprised at the revelations. "I suppose congratulations are in order," he said with a smile.
"Were you ever going to tell us that you and Severus were trying?" Matt asked, moving to the potions cabinet to pull out some potions.
"We were going to tell if we got pregnant…like now," Harry said with a grin.
"Well, congratulations. You're two months along," Jack said.
"Two months?" Harry said, shocked. "That's when we first started trying. I just started getting sick now."
"Everyone is different when pregnant," Matt said. "Here. I'm sure Severus will brew you more, but these are potions you need to take. One is prenatal vitamins and the other is a Nutrient Supplement. You need to take the prenatal vitamin one every morning with breakfast and you need to take the Nutrient Supplement every second day at breakfast for the next three months."
"Thanks, Matt. Neither of you are allowed to tell anyone," Harry said, pocketing the potions. "We want to tell everyone, well, after I tell Severus."
"We won't say a word," Jack said. "Now go tell your husband."
Harry grinned, gave them both a hug, and rushed from the infirmary, up to the headmaster's office. Walking into the office he found Severus sitting at his desk, one hand in his hair as he wrote viciously on a piece of parchment.
"All right, Severus?" Harry said and Severus glanced up at him.
"Fine. Just some parents complaining about the punishment their child was given," Severus said.
"Only child?"
"Yes."
"Wealthy?"
"Yes."
"Spoiled?"
"More than Draco Malfoy."
Harry stifled a laugh. "I feel for you, love, I do."
"Stop snickering, you brat," Severus said, glaring at him and Harry burst into laughter.
Walking around the desk, Harry put his arms around Severus' neck and kissed his cheek. "I'm sorry but it's funny."
"You know I'll hex you," Severus said, fiddling with the quill he was no longer writing with.
"Maybe but you'll feel bad afterwards," Harry said, lifting himself onto the edge of the desk. Severus just glared at him and poked him in the leg with the quill. "Hey, be nice, you git."
"What is it you wanted?" Severus asked, sitting back in his chair and gazing at his husband.
"I just came from my check up with Matt and Jack," Harry said, suddenly finding himself unconsciously worried that Severus wouldn't really want a baby now that they had the chance to have one.
"Are you all right? Did they find what's wrong?" Severus asked, leaning forward anxiously.
"Yeah, they found it," Harry nodded. "I think we should enlarge our rooms."
Severus frowned. "Why? They're already quite large."
"Not enlarge exactly. We may need to add another room, preferably one that's attached to ours," Harry said, biting his lip.
"Harry, what does this have to do with anything?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "And you call me oblivious. Sev'rus…I'm two months pregnant."
Harry continued biting his lip as Severus stared at him, silent and almost unblinking. He was beginning to consider calling for Jack to make sure he hadn't damaged his husband when Severus' eyes flickered to his stomach.
"Severus?"
"You're pregnant?" he said quietly.
Harry nodded.
"We're going to have a baby?"
Harry nodded again. He was startled when Severus grasped his wrist and pulled him onto his lap, kissing him deeply. Harry held onto Severus' shoulders as the man wrapped his arms around his waist. Finally he was released to take air and he pulled back slightly to look at his husband's face.
"Are you all right with this?" Harry asked.
"As I recall, this morning you said that I was as much a part of this as you," Severus said, kissing him lightly again.
"I was just worried you might not want a baby anymore now that we're actually having one," Harry said with a small shrug.
"You are an idiot, love," Severus said and Harry gave him a light glare. "I suppose we'll be telling everyone."
"Not until after the third month. There's a better chance that we won't lose the baby after the first trimester," Harry said. "Though we'll probably have to tell Teddy. He'll know something's going on if he doesn't already."
Severus smiled and kissed him for a third time. "I love you, Harry."
"I love you too," Harry smiled.
"Teddy, could we talk to you for a minute?" Harry said, walking out of the study with Severus. Teddy was sitting on the loveseat with a novel in his lap. It was Halloween weekend and Teddy was spending it with his parents.
"Yeah, sure," Teddy nodded, closing his book on his finger. He watched his parents sit on the sofa and wondered what was going on. They had been acting strange the past couple weeks. "Is anything wrong?"
"No, not quite," Severus said and Teddy frowned.
"Teddy, you're fourteen now," Harry said and Teddy raised an eyebrow at the obvious fact. "We've raised you for the past almost ten years now."
"Dad, are you trying to tell me something or just state obvious facts?" Teddy said and Severus snorted.
"Fine, you tell him," Harry said, looking at Severus and leaning back on the sofa.
Severus put a hand on his husband's thigh and squeezed in comfort, smiling when the younger man's hand settled on his, lacing with his fingers. "Teddy, your dad and I have been talking this past year and we have come to realize that we both wish for something. We have both realized that we want to have a child—"
"Are you pregnant?" Teddy interrupted, looking at them with wide eyes.
Harry was startled at the teenager's abrupt question. "Um, yes. I'm almost three months."
Teddy gave a squeal that he would never admit to and threw himself at his parents. He hugged them tightly, nearly cutting off their oxygen supply. "I'm going to have a brother or sister?"
"Yes, in about six months," Harry nodded and Teddy hugged them again.
"I was always hoping you two would have a baby," Teddy said, sitting on the sofa between them.
Harry frowned at the boy slightly. "Teddy, have you felt lonely in the past because you've had no siblings?"
"Maybe when I was younger, like when I first came to you guys, but only sometimes and it didn't last long. There was always someone around even if they weren't always my age. No, I don't think I was lonely. I think I wanted to know what it would be like to have someone younger than me, someone to take care of," Teddy told them.
"Well, it's quite an age gap but now you'll have someone to take care of. You'll be well out of school before this one even starts," Severus said.
"I don't care. It's not like I'm going to disappear once I graduate. Hell, I'm pretty sure I'll be home with you guys more than I am now especially now with the baby," Teddy said with a laugh.
"Language, terror," Severus said and Teddy grinned at his papa.
"I'm glad you're all right with this, Teddy," Harry said, pulling his son to his side.
"Of course I am. What did you think I was going to be like?" Teddy said.
"Your dad—"
"Hey! It wasn't just me," Harry said, glaring at him.
"As I was saying," Severus said with a smirk. "Your dad was worried that you would think we wouldn't want you anymore or love you as much or that you wouldn't want a sibling."
"You're a git, Severus," Harry said.
"And that is where our son gets his language," Severus said.
"Oh, yeah, it has nothing to do with the time he spends in the lab with you, helping you experiment. All the swearing you do when something doesn't work the way you want it to," Harry said, raising an eyebrow. Severus reached behind Teddy and smacked his husband in the head.
"You're both mental," Teddy said, interrupting their banter. "I know you both love me and would never push me aside. Even if you don't have as much time for me, I'll push my way in."
Harry laughed and pulled Teddy to his side again, holding him close as Severus ran his fingers through the blue hair.
Harry was startled slightly when he felt a hand on his still flat stomach. He looked down and found Teddy had placed his hand there.
"I'm coming to your next exam," Teddy said. "I want to see the baby."
"I'm not even three months yet, Teddy. There won't be much to see," Harry said with a grin though he was overly pleased inside that his son wanted to be so involved in this. He looked over Teddy's head at Severus when he felt his husband lightly touch the back of his neck and smiled.
"I don't care. I'm not missing any of this," Teddy said and Harry looked at him with bright eyes, kissing the top of his head.
"I love you, Teddy," he whispered.
"I love you too, Dad," Teddy said. "You too, Papa."
A/N: Well, wasn't that just completely domestic? :P Anyways, I'm sure I probably screwed up on like how long Harry and Severus have been married and how long they've had Teddy and how old Teddy is, but, really, there's only so much I can do. Somehow, I made it difficult for even me to keep track of the time frames and make them right. :P So, hope you liked it and please review. Thank you. :]
