Three days after they returned home, Harry returned to Hogwarts. He was happy to be headed back for his second year teaching as was Remus. Teddy was looking forward to his pre-school program once a week. He had been talking about nothing else for the past month. Harry didn't even mind the thought of Severs around all the time. The man had been working on being in each other's lives without the romantic side anymore. He had seen his dad and the man together a few times. It may seem odd, his dad and former fiancé, but friends or more, Harry was okay with it. More he was happy. His dad didn't have a lot of friends left and he knew Severus was a good one for him. And he knew it went both ways as well.

A few weeks into the school year Teddy was sad as he had to miss his class. Until next year he could only go one day a week. Unfortunately Teddy had not been feeling too well and his dad wouldn't have him getting his little classmates sick.

Teddy was pouting on the couch. "I feel better Daddy."

Remus shook his head. "You are still warm."

"But Daddy I miss school."

Remus sat down. "You will go next week."

"I want to go on my swing."

"If you take a nap and feel a bit better this afternoon."

Teddy let himself be picked up. "Daddy has to teach?"

Remus nodded. "I have two classes I don't want to miss."

Teddy cuddled his bear. "Oh. Your kids not want to miss either?"

Remus laughed. "They are not all as avid students as you."

"But school is fun. And my friends."

"Well they get their friends here outside of class. And they have tests."

"No tests."

Remus kissed his son. "Sleep. If you need something call our elf. He will get me or Harry."

Teddy was usually good when sick but he was so disappointed to be missing school. Harry had promised a special day with him tomorrow if better. Teddy loved to have a special day with his big brother. Harry could take him grocery shopping and he would have a good time doing it. Remus had assigned homework to most of his classes but he had two exams and he knew his son would be good with an elf. Harry had promised to check on his brother when needed. Remus needed to cancel classes at times when the full moon came so he limited it any other time. Teddy had spent the afternoon before with Draco in the infirmary as he had been a bit sicker than. But he knew his son was happier in his own bed.

In the afternoon Teddy's temperature was much better and Remus took pity on him before dinner. The playground was too much, but he agreed to take Teddy down to see Hagrid and Fang at least. He wasn't surprised when Harry joined them.

Harry smiled when he watched Teddy with the dog. "May have to get him his own."

Remus smirked. "Don't even think about it."

"What?"

"I know you all too well."

Harry shrugged. "Fang is getting old."

"When my son is ready for his own, I will decide."

Harry smiled. "Okay."

Remus shook his head. "Why is it I don't believe you?"

Severus' voice came. "Because you know him too well."

Remus turned to the man. "Out for air?"

"Looking for you."

Harry turned. "I am headed to meet Lucius for dinner."

Severus smirked. "I wasn't meaning you anyways."

Harry kissed his dad on the cheek. "See you later."

Teddy spotted Severus. "Mr. Sev."

Severus managed a small smile. "I have come to invite you and your dad to dinner."

Remus shook his head. "Teddy has been sick."

Teddy pouted. "No more porridge."

"You can have dinner but here at school."

Severus smiled. "I brought dinner to you."

Remus raised an eyebrow. "Dinner?"

Severus looked at Teddy. "I believe I promised you dragon fingers."

Teddy was so happy when he heard. He liked the man and he had talked about lunch with him before. Teddy didn't want to go inside yet as he hoped for a swing still. Remus was surprised when Severus set up a picnic for them instead and he indeed had dragon fingers for all three of them. Remus smiled as he remembered their conversation when they were at Harry's birthday. Severus had waited but Remus was happy.

Teddy looked up when done. "Can Mr. Sev push me on the swing?"

Remus shrugged. "You will have to ask."

Teddy looked at the man. "Please."

Severus motioned. "We need to work on your pumping."

Teddy climbed on the swing. "I'm little."

"Never too early to start. Draco was your age."

"You teach Uncle Draco?"

Severus nodded. "On the swing in my garden."

Remus stood watching with a smile when he heard. "They both look happy."

He turned to Harry. "How was dinner?"

"Nice. Seems so was yours."

"He is good with your brother and for him."

Harry smiled. "And you."

Remus went a bit pink. "He is a good friend."

Harry squeezed his dad's arm. "Either way."

Remus watched his younger son as he stood with his older. He could admit he was happy that Harry was not bothered by his friendship. He loved Harry was much as he did Teddy. Harry had long ago gone from his godson to his son. He hated the thought a friendship with Severus would hurt Harry in any way. He had lost his wife and many friends, not just the marauders. He had others left but it was nice to have Severus back.

Severus smiled a little as Teddy asked before bed, if he would do it again. "Indeed. You need practice."

Harry was for once happy to be going to the hospital wing again. It was November, almost a year since his last trip. He smiled as he watched little Frankie growing up. He had bought his little godson a baby broom for his upcoming birthday. He planned on teaching his godson to fly one day. George and Draco were having their ultrasound, just over 16 weeks, and had asked him to come. Lucius was coming, and Molly and Arthur too. The rest of the family would find out the next day at a dinner Molly would host. George and Draco hadn't wanted a huge audience.

Draco could have performed it but for once he was simply being the dad. His Aunt would deliver the baby, with either Severus or Poppy to help. Andromeda was a midwife but she was a trained nurse and like Poppy, she was able to perform one. She was happy to be asked.

Draco looked at his Aunt. "Thank you."

She kissed him. "Your mother would have so loved to be here."

Draco nodded. "I wish she was."

"She will watch over her grandchild. And you have plenty of family."

Draco looked at Molly. "At least the baby will have one grandmother."

Molly smiled. "I know I can never replace your mother, but I will love my grandchild enough for two."

Lucius held his son. "Perhaps a family name for her."

George agreed. "We thought of that."

Andromeda motioned. "Perhaps we should find out the gender for a name."

Draco smiled. "We are just waiting on one more person."

Severus appeared. "I hope I am not late."

Lucius was not surprised. "Just about to start."

Slowly Severus and Draco had been repairing that bond and this was just another step for the two of them. Draco wanted nothing more than his mother to be there. His parents may never have been in love, but his mother had been a great woman, and had loved her son with all her heart. Draco had been so close to her and wanted her there for this baby. He was reminded though that there were others around who loved him. And he wanted his Uncle to be there as part of this event. He had realized his husband was right to invite Severus to the wedding though he had been angry at first. He would have regretted his Uncle not being there for it and he knew the same was said now. He was big enough to admit it.

Andromeda started the test and they were all amazed when the room was filled with the sounds of a heartbeat. A small magic image appeared above the belly and they were all shocked. Molly was one of the first to see it, she had seen it herself once before.

George was stunned. "Do I see two heads?"

Draco nodded. "Yes."

Molly was in tears. "A third set."

Lucius smiled. "I believe they run in both families."

Andromeda nodded. "Our mother was."

Harry asked. "Truly a third set?"

Andromeda nodded with a smile. "Two little boys."

George had some tears. "Boys."

Draco kissed his husband. "The oldest will be Fred."

Molly assured her son. "Fred would be proud. He will watch over your sons."

George looked at Harry. "As will their Uncle and godfather, well Freddie's."

Harry hugged both men. "You know I'd be honored."

Lucius suggested when the test was done. "Perhaps we should go celebrate."

That was met with great approval and they headed not into town but London. Lucius treated them all to lunch at a nice restaurant where they toasted the news. George was still a little sad but when they did some shopping after he was smiling. He was reminded Fred would want him to be happy and he was. Molly and Lucius both bought their grandsons their first gifts, though they were not alone. Even Severus did. As the others headed their own way, Harry and Lucius went together. Harry had planned to spend the weekend in London with Lucius.

Lucius walked with Harry. "So what did you have in mind?"

Harry smiled. "Cooking lesson?"

Lucius laughed. "I guess it has been a while."

"May have to teach you to bake so can make cookies with your grandsons."

"Seems a bit more Molly's style."

Harry shrugged. "May come in handy."

"I thought we were making dinner."

Harry laughed. "I guess cookies can wait for another time."

They picked up some groceries and headed for the townhouse. It was Saturday and Harry had gone to one of his team's practices that morning before the exam. The other team had an afternoon practice tomorrow and he would be back at least for part of it. Cooking lessons were not exactly lessons any more. Lucius realized Harry liked to cook for him and he found he enjoyed cooking with him.

Harry smiled as they finished. "Feeling old yet?"

"Because I am about to be a grandfather?"

Harry shrugged. "You do have white hair and a cane."

"The men in my family all have white hair from birth."

Harry smiled. "You may have some red headed grandsons."

"I would not be opposed. Though I do think blonde hair and green eyes would be cute."

"Green eyes? George doesn't have….."

Lucius pulled him up and into a kiss. "I was thinking our sons. Or daughters."

Harry was shocked. "Ours?"

Lucius whispered. "You do need a few heirs."

Harry looked into his eyes. "You would want kids with me?"

Lucius ran a hand down his face. "I know you want kids. And I want them with you."

Harry kissed him passionately. "I do too."

Lucius's hands went to Harry's buttons but stopped. "I am not proposing now or suggesting…."

Harry put his hands back. "Better make an honest man out of me first."

Lucius took the invitation. "When you are ready, I will. I am in love with you."

Harry allowed himself to be led upstairs. "I am too."

Lucius took Harry for the first time into his bedroom. Harry was no virgin but he had only ever been with one man. But as Lucius and he undressed each other, he knew he was ready. As Harry felt himself lowered onto the bed, he knew he was ready for this. Both to take the next physical step with Lucius and to admit he was in love. They hadn't properly dated for a year, though a year since their first trial dates, but it mattered little. As Lucius lowered himself over Harry, his mouth and hands exploring every inch of Harry, all thoughts slid away from them. Lucius used protection, Harry would be his husband before babies came, but the day would come he told himself. He didn't care he was about to be a grandfather, he would have more kids of his own. As he drove into Harry, driven on by Harry's moans, neither had felt so happy. Lucius lay down next to Harry after the first round, never remembering a time he had felt like this. He was happy Harry was ready and they took the step.

Harry rested in his arms and kissed his neck. "I have a question for you?" And when Lucius looked. "Have I already tired you out?"

An: So a little Severus and Remus. Twin boys for George and Draco. And both a physical and emotional next step for Harry and Lucius.

Hope you continue to read and review.
