Now this is a mildly short chapter, but I hope for some it's not too short to you. I admit it's a bit soon for this to happen but this is only the start of what's coming soon.

And to be clear they will be in hiding for a while before anyone finds out where the happy couples are, probably right along to where someone decides to make an appearance.

I don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

"SEV!" Harry ran to his husband's side and held him up with a hand on his shoulder. "Get help!" Ginny ran towards the end of the hall and Draco helped Harry move Severus into another room onto a couch.

"Oh man…" Draco felt his head. "He's hot too."

"What?" Harry turned to him.

"I meant he's burning up, not hot as in…oh stop!" Ginny came back with Eileen and Joan.

"Severus, oh dear." Eileen went to his side and checked him over. "Dippy!" an elf appeared. "Fetch me a cold wet rag and my bag of potions."

"Yes mistress." The elf vanished.

"What's wrong with him?" Harry was praying it was nothing serious.

"Not sure, fever, puking, fainting….could be anything." Eileen magically removed Sev's long robe from his body and tossed it over the arm of the couch. "Don't want him burning up any more than he already is." Sev was now in his usual robes, but they were more casual looking, and then Dippy reappeared.

"Dippy has returned mistress." She handed her the wet rag and a large bag. Eileen took the cloth and placed it over Sev's forehead and pulled out a couple of potions.

"These should tell us what's wrong." She carefully opened Sev's mouth and poured some clear potion inside, but nothing happened. "Hmm, not the flu."

"I'm sorry but how can you tell?" Ginny.

"These are special potions that reveal what type of sickness you could have, if there's no reaction to the potion then that's not the right illness."

"What sort of reaction would he have?"

"Simple, he'd either awaken or fall asleep." What the hell? "I know it sounds odd, but they're old family recipes."

"What now?" Eileen smirked and pulled out another potion.

"Our family is known for its prestige and intelligence, how else do you think Severus became so smart in Potions at Hogwarts?" she poured part of the other potion into his mouth. "Not a bug." She took out another and did the same. "Not food poisoning." Then she pulled out one more. "Let's see if this does anything." She poured it into his mouth slowly, and right when Harry was about to think she'd lost it Severus groaned.

"Ugh…" his eyes slowly opened and he touched his mouth. "Why is my mouth wet?"

"You had us all worried there." Joan walked over but stopped as she spotted the vial in her mother's hand. "Mother…don't tell me…" Eileen looked up and nodded.

"What?" Harry held Sev's free hand and rubbed his shoulder.

"Um…I don't know if this is purely accurate or not…" Eileen fiddled with the vial in her hands.

"But you said you made it yourself?" Ginny.

"I did, but maybe we should get a healer to be sure."

"Mother what in the world are you trying to say?" Severus sat up. Eileen sighed and looked directly at him and Harry.

"That was a pregnancy potion, and you awakening Severus means it's positive." Severus' mouth dropped open and Harry's eyes widened.

"WHAT?" Severus jumped from his spot on the couch.

"You're pregnant Severus."

"I can't be!"

"You are." Joan. "Mum made that potion herself Sevvy, and her potions never fail." Severus fell back onto the couch.

"This can't be…it's too soon…" he mumbled.

"We can get a healer to be sure son."

"Do that then, need to make sure this isn't a false positive."

"I'll summon Marco then." Eileen left to the other room and Severus covered his eyes.

"Hey guys…give us a minute would you?" they all nodded and left the couple alone. Harry turned to Severus, almost afraid to speak thinking the worst. "Sev…are you alright?"

"Do I look alright?" sarcasm still intact.

"I mean…with this, you being possibly pregnant." Severus looked away.

"I…I don't know."

"We did agree to have kids Sev."

"Yes but not for a while, this is…is too fast we just got married." Harry sighed, he knew that was true but…he didn't want to do anything he'd regret.

"Sev…I know you think that, and I know you wanted to wait before we had children but…well whatever you decide I'll support." Severus looked at him with confusion.

"You…you what?"

"If you don't want the baby, then I'll understand." Severus looked as if he'd just said the worst thing ever. "Sev?" before Severus could answer he covered his mouth and vomited into the nearby waste basket.

"Oh yes…" Harry turned to see a man at the door, dressed in a St. Mungo's white healer robes. "Hello Mr. Potter I'm Marco Mason, licensed healer from St. Mungo's." he shook hands with the man.

"Our own private doctor too." Eileen helped Severus back over to the couch. "He's been my doctor for years."

"Thank you Eileen…now let's see shall we?" he took out his wand and conjured up a tablet. "I'll need a blood sample if you please?" Severus held out his hand and Mason pricked his finger. "There now." He took the blood and set it on the tablet carefully, then added some clear liquid to the mix and it turned blue. "Oh yes…it's positive." Harry looked at Sev for a minute.

"Can you tell how long?" Mason nodded and tapped the tablet with his wand, and then some smoke appeared.

"Hmm…eight weeks." Joan gasped.

"But…if he's been pregnant for eight weeks then why is he now getting sick?"

"Simple Joan, wizard pregnancies progress a little differently than normal ones. Signs don't show for several weeks and the fetus progresses rather quickly. Male pregnancies are short."

"How short?"

"Most go to six months, if not five months."

"But…" Severus spoke up. "Are there any possible complications?"

"There haven't been any in all my years, but I would be exceptionally careful. Wizard pregnancies are slightly high risk because the male body has to shift around constantly to maintain the life of the fetus."

"So he has nothing to worry about?" Harry.

"Nothing at all, but as I said just be mindful." Mason looked at Severus. "Do you have any questions right now Severus?" Severus shook his head and then stood up leaving the room.

"Sev?" Harry called after him but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Let him go, he needs to be alone." Joan sighed. "Thank you Dr. Mason."

"Call me if there's anything you need." Mason bowed and left, and then Ginny went to Harry's side.

"You ok Harry?" he shrugged.

"I'm not sure, I know Sev and I just married but…I don't know if he wants children right now."

"Do you?" Draco asked. "I mean you've always wanted a family of your own and I know Severus has too."

"If he does then he's afraid." Eileen spoke up. "Severus was always afraid what would happen if he ever had children, if they would love or hate him because his own father was horrible to him and me. I kept telling him that wouldn't be true, but he refused to believe it."

"He's afraid, to have children?" Draco. "He was always good around me, like a second father."

"You are his godson Draco, he loves you like his own. I'm not entirely sure what it could be this time, but it will only come out if he talks to you Harry." Harry nodded and stood.

"I'll go see him then." Harry walked out into the hall, past a few rooms before he came up to the one he and Sev shared. "Sev?" he knocked on the door.

"It's open." Harry walked into the room and saw Severus on the bed rubbing his stomach.

"You alright?" Sev nodded stiffly. "Sev I'm sorry if I upset you earlier, I wasn't trying to."

"I know…"

"No, I understand we just got married and that we agreed to wait to have kids but…I still agree with whatever you decide." Sev looked at him.

"It's not that…Harry I want this baby, but Dumbledore…the Weasleys…"

"That's why you're worried?" Harry went to his side and covered the hand on Sev's stomach with his own. "Severus they can't touch us here, and I won't let anyone hurt you."

"I know that, but I don't want to risk our child being born into another possible war with them."

"There isn't going to be a war, look we'll sort this out soon. We don't have to jump into anything let's just take this slowly one step at a time and then we'll see what happens. We can move to another place if you want, maybe have my parents' old home rebuilt or we can move into London after the baby's born…" Severus gave a small smile.

"What happened to one step at a time?" Harry laughed and leaned into him. "I want this child, I'm just afraid for him or her."

"I know." He kissed his neck. "I know." Harry held onto his husband and they sat quietly for a few minutes, until someone knocked at the door. "Come in." the door opened and Regulus stepped inside with Nigel. "Hello Regulus."

"Hey, I just heard the news." He walked up to them. "Congratulations to both of you."

"Thank you."

"So I get to be an uncle…" Nigel smiled, and then started snickering.

"What?" Harry looked at him oddly. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing…" Nigel glanced at Severus. "Just didn't think my older brother would be the girl." He burst out laughing and Regulus snickered, right before Severus threw a pillow at him.

"Aw come on Sev they're just having a little fun." Severus smacked him with a pillow. "Hey!" Harry picked a pillow up and bopped him on the head.

"Hey now no pillow fights." Joan came in. "Remember Mason said take it easy." Harry put the pillow down. "So…?" Severus held up a hand.

"We're fine Joan, just needed a little time to take this in."

"Well at least we'll have more children around here, I get to be an aunt!" she squealed.

"Oh no…" Severus groaned and fell back into the pillows.

"What?" Regulus and Harry.

"My family's going to spoil our child so horribly!" Harry glared at his two in-laws.

"Not unless they want to raise a spoiled prince or princess."

"But Harry!" Joan whined.

"No way, I wasn't spoiled, Sev wasn't spoiled so our child won't be spoiled. Don't need a Malfoy clone walking around here or anywhere else." They all laughed.

This was the start of something beautiful, or at least something new.

I know it's odd to have Severus pregnant but you don't see too many of those these days when he's with Harry.

Now before I visit anything else in this fic I'm a little short on ideas, not blocked just short cuz I don't want to speed through this too fast. So feel free to share cuz I'm open.

R&R

Later!
