Chapter 36

It was finally time for little Mirari to come home. She had to stay in the hospital for another week after she was born. Harry had stayed in the hospital as well, not wanting to leave his little girl alone or unprotected. They needed to keep an eye on her to make sure that nothing else was going to be wrong because of the umbilical cord being wrapped around her throat and starving her of oxygen. They had been worried about the possibility of brain damage; so far the test had come out negative.

Harry was sitting in the waiting room. He sat on the couch with Mirari in his arms. He rocked her gently. He didn't pay attention to either of his mates as he kissed the little girl on the forehead. She shifted in Harry's arms and her tiny hand clutched at Harry's shirt. Harry smiled at her and finally looked up. Draco was sitting next to him, staring at Harry's loving nature. He didn't necessarily like being ignored, but was use to it and didn't argue with the matter. He leaned over and kissed Harry's cheek. He watched as Harry adjusted Mirari closer to him. He knew that Harry would keep a slightly closer watch on her than the twins, as she could be seriously there.

Severus stood into the room, with his usual grace and flare. "Harry, Draco, we can go now, I have signed her out. So I think it is time for us to take her home. I know Ron and Lucius are looking forward to seeing you and Mirari home at last," he said as he noted that Harry was once again rocking little Mirari in his arms.

Harry nodded and stood up with her in his arms. Draco made sure he was balanced just right and walked out with them. He was just as glad as the rest of them to be taking her home. Harry was mostly focused on the little girl. His attention being absorbed with her tiny form, something he could never get over. Her eyes were closed as she slept in his arms, her little fist clutching his clothing. Draco had his hand on Harry's back, directing him in the many directions he needed to head.

"Lucius sent us a car to take us to Hogwarts; it is waiting outside, on the Muggle part of St Mungo's," Severus told them as they walked to the exit on the Muggle side. Harry didn't look up as they walked to the car, he was still absorbed with little Mirari. Draco helped him into the comfortable car as Severus and he joined Harry in the back.

Harry smiled as Mirari woke up from her little nap, staring at him with big silver eyes. Harry began to tickle her stomach, which caused her to giggle. Because of the nature of Fae and Veela, she was on a different activity level than a normal infant. Draco watched as Harry entertained the little girl. He then looked at Severus. "I don't remember, is he this sappy with Aislin and Conner?" He glanced back at Harry as he kissed Mirari's forehead over and over again.

"He was sappy yes, but not this much. I think it was the fact that we almost lost Mirari that has kicked him to treasure her ever more than the twins. He loves them all equally, but he will protect her a little more because of that, he will do all he can to keep her happy and smiling," Severus answered as best as he could as a small smile played over his face as he watched his mate play with the little girl.

Draco nodded in reply and watched as Harry continued to play with their daughter. He then saw her go back to sleep and Harry whispered something that neither he nor Severus caught. It wasn't for a little bit that car finally came to a stop at Hogwarts gates and Harry didn't notice. He was too busy holding the sleeping Mirari. She was sleeping and wasn't about to be disturbed, especially with her thumb in her mouth and sucking on it. Severus got Harry's attention and got him out of the car.

They walked towards the school entrance, they could see student wandering around the hallowed halls stop and turn towards the door. They all smiled as Harry walked in with the baby in his arms. Draco brought a finger up to his lips, telling them all to keep quiet. The head girl for that year was a Slytherin, Kali Quaro. She looked at the other student and nodded; she turned back to them all and said softly, "Congratulation from all of us here."

Draco nodded in thanks and then led them to Severus' office where they were going to meet Lucius and Ron. Severus had to keep his hand on Harry's shoulder to make sure that he wouldn't trip or anything. Severus didn't want to see Harry fall. Draco followed behind and they made their way down the dungeon halls to the Potions office. Harry had begun to quietly hum a tune to the little girl. He was definitely in his own little world. Harry had that ability and it was a good thing. Of course, there was also the fact that Lucius said he would bring the other children with them so that Harry could see his twins. Severus somewhat worried that Harry was too focused on Mirari to give the older ones any attention. His only hope was that it didn't happen. Harry was a Fae, but he still had some human in him.

They walked into the office and Harry stopped his humming. He looked up and saw Ron and Lucius each holding one of his other children. He walked over to them and lent down, giving both of them a gently kiss on the foreheads. "Hello my angels this is you baby sister. Let's get you all home," he said as he stood up, smiling at the twins as the reached out for their 'mother'. "I love you both two, lets get your little sister to her crib and I will cuddle you pair as well," he said as he turned to face his two mates.

Severus nodded and led Harry to his rooms. Since Severus was there, he still had the rooms, Draco, Harry and the children were just going to join later. Severus opened the door and watched as Harry immediately walked off to the new bedroom for his new daughter. He turned and faced Lucius. "Everything went well I take it? Nothing happened with Conner or Aislin." He looked at his two little children. Conner was pouting, but Harry rejoined them a moment later and took Conner into his arms. The little boy instantly calmed down at being in Harry's arms once again.

"Hello my baby boy, you been good for Uncle Ron and uncle Luc?" he asked the babbling boy. He then went over to Ron who still held Aislin and took her into his other arm. He went over to the sofa and sat down. "What about you Aislin, have you been a good little girl? I bet you have. You're perfect little angels aren't you?" Harry cooed at them both, smiling as they babbled back.

Severus smiled at him. Conner began to play with the buttons of Harry's shirt. If one looked, he would have seen that a couple of Lucius' shirt buttons were undone. Conner had begun to have a fascination with buttons. If he could undo them, he would. Harry smiled and hugged them both close. Ron was pulled into Ron's lap. The six month pregnant Weasley was leaning against Lucius as he watched Harry bond with his twins once again. He needed that ability. He hadn't been around them for a week, so he needed to bond again.

Harry looked up at his best friend and heart brother and said, smiling. "It will soon be you Ron," he said as he could feel the excitement his best friend was feeling at his own impending arrival.

Ron nodded. "I know. It's wonderful to see you with yours." He let his hand wander to his stomach as he felt one of this children kick. Lucius' hand snaked up next to his and rubbed circles in it. Ron leaned against Lucius even more. Draco was glad that Ron was a good person for his father. It was one of those moments that he could prove Harry was a good judge on character.

"I can't wait until my baby brothers are born. I always wanted siblings," Draco said, smiling at his father and he supposed stepfather. "It is a little funny that their nephew and nieces are going to be older than them. They will be going to Hogwarts together," he said with a laugh. "Oh Merlin, what if they all have the prankster gene in them. Harry has his father's prank gene, and well we know the Weasley twins, what if the twins are going to be like that, Sev I do feel sorry for you if you're still teaching at Hogwarts when they go."

Severus looked at him. "I'm a vampire Draco; I don't exactly age very well." He looked at Harry. Harry had ignored him as he watched one of Conner's early signs of magic. Conner was turning Lucius' hair hot pink. The little baby giggled. Ron looked at Lucius and his eyes widened at the sight of Lucius' hair. Draco and Severus just started snickering.

Harry snorted and looked down as his little boy and said, "That wasn't very nice Conner, though I do think it suits your grandpa." Lucius didn't know what to think was worse, the fact that his hair had been turned an awful shade of pink or the fact that he was a grandpa and was being called that.

Lucius then scowled. "I think he did inherit the prankster gene." He went to turn his hair back to normal for it to instead end up curly and puce. This just had Harry bursting out laughing. He found Lucius' predicament rather amusing. Ron had to start laughing at Lucius' appearance. Lucius scowled at him, but the scowl disappeared when Ron kissed him. Draco went and started to look in on the twins. Aislin was busy leaning against Harry's chest and pretty much sleeping. Conner was clapping his hands and giggling as Lucius' hair kept changing to many different colours at his whim.

"Yep, definitely the prankster gene with him. I think Aislin may have Severus' more calmer nature," Draco said, laughing at his father as the once blond hair changed from yellow to a garish red. He laughed once again when his father's hair change style to spikes. Severus was also laughing at his friend and shaking his head, glad that he was not the focus of his son's prank.

Harry finally got Conner to stop by rocking him. He just rocked both children and watched as they began to droop off. He was smiling at the babies and smiled at them. He kissed Conner's head. He held his babies close and looked at Severus. His eyes were sparkling with happiness. He watched as Conner fell asleep against his chest as well.

Aislin gave a cute little yawn before she fell asleep. Lucius looked at the sleeping boy and smiled, he then waved his wand at his hair to try and change it back to how it once was. 'It worked,' he thought in relief as he felt the weight of his long blond hair about his shoulders. "Ginny said she would stop by a little later to see Mirari, she wanted to stay and wait with us, but she had lessons," Lucius told them, smiling at the content look on his son-in-law's face.

Severus watched as Harry was looking content, but seemed to tense a little bit at the mention of Ginny. He sighed. Looking back at the others, he carefully put his arm around Harry. "I wouldn't recommend her trying to get too close to Mirari. Harry will have trouble with anybody but a small few touching her." Harry looked at Severus, but he didn't act as if Severus had done something bad by telling them. He knew that they needed to know. He was what he was and that made it harder to fight the truth about his reality. He laid his head against Severus' chest and saw Draco take Aislin and Conner. The two continued to sleep as he moved them to their room. Harry sighed softly and watched as Ron and Lucius nodded in understanding.

"I'm going to put these two down for a nap," Harry said as he got up carefully and walked into the nursery where Mirari lay sleeping in the Moses Basket. He walked over to the two cribs that lay on either side of the basket and one by one he placed the twins in their cots. "Sleep tight my little angels and let the dream fairy give you sweet dreams this night," he said as he went to each of them and lay a gently kiss on their foreheads.

Severus had seen Harry walk off and shook his head. "He's getting nervous." He looked back at the other two. Lucius and Ron had gone to cuddling. Draco was still watching Harry as he spent time with the children as they slept. This left Severus all alone in the living room. He shook his head and headed for the bedroom. He didn't want to see the lovebirds being all cutesy as he would put it. He then watched silently as well. Harry turned around and smiled at his two mates. It was one of those moments that could have gone on forever, not that they would ever get such luck again.

"I have a family Severus, one that is larger than I ever thought I would have," Harry said softly as he walked over to the vampire and held him, Draco came up being the young Fae and held him from behind. "Three little babies, two wonderful mates, A Heart brother, and his soon to be born children, not to mention the fact that there is also Luc. I'm quite lucky," he added as he enjoyed the feeling of both of his mates either side of him, soaking up their warmth and their love for him.

Severus and Draco both kissed Harry and held him. This was one of the rare quiet moments that they were able to share with each other. Severus rubbed Harry's cheek, while Draco rubbed his chest. Harry sighed happily and let them both do what they wanted. He buried his face into Severus' chest. Draco was pressed against him. He kissed his neck. Harry's eyes closed contentedly, making him pretty much fall asleep.
