Hey guys! I'm sorry it's taken so long for the next chapter to be posted. I've been busy doing things, like drawing for this Guro Challenge with one of my friends. It's been fun seeing what I can do and I plan on doing all 33 drawings :3 my little one is doing great! My hubby bought me a fetal doppler because I couldn't feel him for a while and it worried me. We found his heartbeat and it was strong and then he moved but I couldn't feel it when he did. So we think he either is only wiggling his arms or he's further back in the uterus than we thought lol! Anyways, this story will use some Japanese terms. Don't yell at me for them, yeah? I'm not in the mood to hear it. Many people learn different languages. It would make sense that these guys could too yes? Good.

Other than that...I might update Death's Heir sometimes this week...or even Exhibit A! In the mean time I will continue updating this one and transferring my drabbles over to here as well. Enjoy!

"You know he's afraid you won't love him, Lupin."

Remus blanched, amber eyes going wide. He never thought that Harry would believe something so false.

"Why would he think something like that? I can't even believe that I allowed myself to forget my son. Or my husband." his voice filled with sorrow at the thought of all he'd lost.

His son's first steps. His first words.
Tom's eyes narrowed.

"Those monsters he's been forced to live with beat him and starved him. That headmaster you loved so much made him mute. He feels that anyone who mildly loves him will either turn on him or die. I'm amazed that he's allowed himself to get so close to his mates."

Remus didn't know how to react. Or better yet what to react to first. The fact that his baby cub had been abused or the fact that his son had mates already. He decided that the issue of mates could be handled later.

"What?! I'll rip out their hearts! How bad was he?" he demanded, baring his teeth in anger.

Tom sighed. He really didn't want an angry wolf sitting down for dinner. But. Oh well.

"He...when Severus and Draco found him, he was stuffed in a corner of a cupboard under the stairs, bleeding from a head wound. His throat cut by a dark magic curse that I, myself, created and only Dumbledore knew about. When I was cleaning him up with Narcissa, I noticed that he had many glamours up on his body. He probably looks far worse than we've seen so far."

Remus whined and put his head in his hands. His anger was still there but his sorrow over ran whatever rage he had.

"How could I have trusted that man? Oh my cub! I failed him so much!"

Tom looked away from the mourning wolf, uncomfortable. He was ok with comforting Harry. But this wolf's sadness brought back all the pain he tried to bottle up. He'd only allowed Harry to see his pain. He didn't feel like sharing it again.

"Your son will forgive you. Thanks to your mate's last letter, your son knows to blame Dumbledore. He is safe here. But even though he has his mates, he still wants you there. He, however, is terrified you will reject him. Because of his deformities and the fact that he has two mates. I'm sure even the fact that he is a Brood bothers him slightly because of his fear that you will stop loving him."

Remus wiped at his eyes and laughed wetly.

"How could I hate him for being a Brood? I'm one. It was one thing I really wanted to pass down to my son. Having a child is so special. As for him having two mates? I'm not that surprised. He's strong...and he's a half breed. Come his first full moon he'll need them. And the scars just prove to me how strong my baby boy is. That he can pull through no matter what." Remus locked eyes with Tom and the Dark Lord sighed in relief. Harry would still be loved. Good. "now. That dark curse that made him mute. Can it be reversed?"

Tom pondered the question for a few minutes. Finally he nodded.

"I'll definitely see what I can do." as he replied the door opened and in walked Severus, Harry and Draco all holding hands.

Tom and Remus weren't noticed right away as the three were conversing (how Harry was, was beyond the two adults at the table), but as soon as they were flush with the table Harry stopped and the dominates paused to look at what had distracted their sub.
Harry's silver-green orbs drank in his mother's astonished expression. At Severus's and Draco's requests he'd removed all of his glamours. He now sported a very visible scar across his throat and one over the bridge of his nose that stretched from one eye to the other.

::Tom? He looks like he's been crying. Is he alright?:: Harry asked in Parsel, turning his attention to the Dark Lord.

Remus stiffened in shock when he heard the snake language. He watched as Voldemort rubbed at his temples.

"I told him of your mates and how we found you. Needless to say he wasn't pleased." Tom paused and looked Harry over." I like that you removed your glamours. You look good."

Harry rolled his eyes and released his lover's hands to flip the Dark Lord off.

*Fuck you, Tom* he turned to his mother and slowly walked closer.

Remus couldn't take that his son was so scared and stood, closing the distance between them and bringing Harry close in a tight hug. The older werewolf snuffled his son's scent and whined at the familiarity. He felt whole finally. His cub was safe and in his arms. He could even ignore the scents of his mates. After all, every wolf had one. Or in his son's case, two.
It was only after he felt a wet spot on his shirt that he realized that Harry was crying and gently picked him up to carry him to the seat he'd vacated. There he cradled his Cub and rocked him, humming a lullaby he used to sing to Harry when he was little.
Severus and Draco sat at the table, leaving an empty chair in between them and closely watched the mother and son. They felt rather useless at the moment. But they knew that it was going to be alright.

Tom felt his heart constrict. Whenever Harry cried it affected him like this. After a few more minutes Harry pulled away to look at his mother more closely. Then bowed his head.

::Tom. He really accepts me?::

"Yes."

::Can you make sure? I couldn't bare for this to all be a dream:: he stated, silver-green eyes filled with wary hope.

That was it, Tom thought, Harry would be blood adopted by him and regularly adopted by the Lestranges. He would make sure that Harry never felt this insecure about family again.

"Harry wants to know if you accept him. For everything he is and what he's gone through."

Severus and Draco stiffened. That question must have hurt to ask aloud. Remus' eyes softened and he tilted Harry's head up so that their eyes locked.

"Harry. I have always loved you. Even when my memory of you being my child was blocked. I wouldn't suddenly stop just because of your past, or your future. Not even because you have two mates. I enjoyed every moment I have ever shared with you and I look forward to every one we share after this."

Harry relaxed and smiled so brilliantly that everyone in the room vowed to make his happiness a top priority. With that taken care of, Harry kissed Remus on the cheek then wiggled out of his mother's lap. He then bounded over to his lovers and sat in between them. He was immediately assaulted; Severus placing a calm hand on his thigh and Draco running his hand through Harry's raven hair. Harry smiled contentedly, sighing as he leaned into their touches. Tom chuckled.

"Well now that that's over with. Let's begin dinner. Bella and the Lestrange Brothers will be here in time for your induction and I'm sure you guys will have a lot to discuss."

Harry nodded as the house elf, Lyra, began setting out the food. Dinner was comfortable. Tom and Harry trading jibes, playful of course, and Severus and Draco trying their hardest to not molest their mate when he made cute pouty faces whenever the Dark Lord got a good one in. Remus would snicker and eventually Harry would too.
By the time dinner ended Harry was relaxed. Completely. He felt he had a new family. His lovers, his mother, Tom- who was like an older brother to him. And soon...
Harry looked at his belly and his eyes softened. Soon he might end up carrying his lover's children. He hoped so.
Remus noticed the look and smiled. He knew that face. His son was thinking of having cubs. He wished the best for his son.
As they all drew away from the table, Tom pulled Harry aside.

::Harry, your mother asked me to try and find a counter curse for the one that made you mute, I will do my best. It should have a back button. But I must warn you, it might not permanently fix you. You'll still probably have issues with volume and how long you can talk. Is that alright?:: Tom asked, his red eyes laced with concern.

Harry's smile was softer than usual and he leaned up and kissed the Dark Lord on the forehead.

::Do your best, aniki. I will accept any improvement::

Tom blinked in surprise at the term of endearment. Slowly he smiled and pulled the younger wizard close. Well that solved the blood adoption.

::I will, otouto::

Harry nodded and pulled away to soothe his growling mates. They at once began snuffling his neck and hugging him. Harry squirmed and silently giggled. The sight was bittersweet. They were all interrupted when the wards fluctuated and Tom tensed. He felt with his senses who the intruders were and relaxed.

"It's Bella and the brothers. Let's go."

Harry nodded and together they all left the dining room for the library.
