A/N: Thank you for all of the wonderful support! I really appreciate it. I would also like some reviews on how you like the story so far. Am I making things interesting enough? Constructive criticism, please... not destructive. :)

Also, if you somehow missed it, Polyamourous relations was requested. Harry is married to both Daphne and Susan, but that does not mean that Daphne and Susan will be intimately involved.

Part 2

Chapter 9:

Harry

February sixteenth found Harry standing at the alter, waiting for Susan. He wrung his hands nervously, knowing that Susan had a little surprise for him. He looked around. Daphne's parents were on his side of the aisle, in the first row, sitting with his dad. He smiled, before noticing that Daphne wasn't there. Harry turned to look around at the guests. Music came on, and everyone turned to look down the aisle as one.

Peony walked down the aisle in a gold dress that went well with her hair and complexion, with Fred and George on either side of her. She smiled happily at her older brother, and Harry smiled back. Then the music changed, and the guests stood to honor the bride. Fred and George each placed a hand on Harry's back to steady him when he saw Susan. She was wearing a pure white princess dress with a tapered waist and long form-fitting sleeves. She was bracketed on either side by Daphne and her Aunt Amelia. Astoria walked before them, spreading petals before their feet. As they walked down the aisle, some people started crying at the beauty of the bride. Harry's eyes moved to Daphne briefly to see her in a semi-dark silver dress that clung to her thin frame, with a slit on the right side. He swallowed hard. Both of his girls looked wonderful. He looked back at Susan to see her smiling at him.

The vows were a blur for Harry, but he did notice that Susan's vows did include Daphne's position in the family... and he was thankful and surprised. He was then told he could kiss the bride, and he pulled Susan into a gentle embrace and kiss. The crowd cheered and he pulled away with a grin. His new bride was smiling back at him and then they turned to the audience to walk back up the aisle through the two sections of seats. They walked to the area where the tables of food were waiting and then looked at the huge wedding cake that the Potter elves had prepared.

Harry and Susan cut the cake amidst clapping and cheering. Daphne even smiled, letting them enjoy their moment. They went to sit down, and Daphne sat with them. "How are you doing, Daphne?" Harry asked.

Daphne smiled at him. "I'm doing well. The ceremony was beautiful, and the guests seemed to enjoy the addition to the vows." She smiled at Susan, who smiled back.

"I'm glad," Susan said. "I had to include you. It didn't feel right to not do so."

"Thank you," Daphne replied.

Susan shook her head with a smile. She and Harry danced their first dance together, and then Susan pulled Daphne into her place to dance with Harry. "Your turn to dance with our husband."

Daphne laughed and danced happily with Harry. As the reception continued, Daphne gently pushed her husband and fellow wife into the Manor. "You two need to get changed to head to your Honeymoon."

"You're not coming?" Susan asked.

Daphne shook her head. "Harry and I had our Honeymoon. You should have your alone time to bond, too."

"Our Honeymoon was cut short, though," Harry said.

"That doesn't matter, Harry. You need this alone time with your new wife." Daphne gently pushed them towards the stairs. "Go! Go!" Harry chuckled, leading Susan up to his room so they can change. Daphne smiled and walked back outside to let everyone know that the newly married couple were getting ready to head out to their honeymoon. "They're changing for their honeymoon. Let's go to the front of the manor to be ready to send them off."

The guests walked around the manor to the front and were given confetti to throw at the new couple. They only had to wait for a few minutes, until the two walked out of the front door. Confetti was thrown over Harry and Susan as they walked through the crowd to the edge of the wards. James was standing there to hand them the portkey to their honeymoon location... two weeks in the beautiful beaches of Bali. They would be exploring Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, and Uluwatu.

Harry and Susan briefly stopped by Daphne and Harry gave her a kiss to the lips. Susan gave her a hug. Then they were gone in a twirl. A few seconds later, they were in Bali. "Do you want to drop off our things in the hotel and then go swimming?" Harry asked.

Susan nodded. "That sounds like a plan." She smiled, wrapping an arm around his waist.

Harry held her close as they walked up to the tall hotel before them. He gave their last name to the person at the counter, and they were given the key to the Honeymoon suite. Harry led the way up to their room, and they set their bags on the large bed. "What do you think?"

Susan looked around the room... which was really a suite of rooms with a kitchen, sitting area, large bedroom, and large bathroom. "I love it," she said, moving through the rooms. She stepped up to Harry's side again. "I thought we were going to go swimming," she reminded him.

Harry chuckled. "Okay." They got changed into their swimming outfits, made sure they had their room key, and then they were heading downstairs and out to the closest beach. They spent a couple of hours playing in the water, laying out on towels, and talking. They had to go back to their room before Susan burned. Dinner was a quiet meal in their room, full of talking and laughing, but the night led to them getting to know each other intimately.

Hands sensually moved over bodies as clothes were discarded. Lips pressed against sensitive skin in gentle kisses. Praises and worship left their parted lips in soft breathy moans.

...

Warm brown eyes looked at the healer in surprise. "Really? Isn't it too soon to tell?"

The healer smiled in reassurance. "Even though it's only been two weeks, some pregnancies provide evidence earlier than others. Meaning, sometimes you will get symptoms like nausea, dizziness, or headaches way before the 'normal' time. Every pregnancy is different, and it just so happens that we have an early pregnancy test spell." She reached over and patted the redhead's shoulder. "You are very healthy, Mrs. Potter. In about three months, you'll be able to see your baby for the first time. You'll want to see your personal healer then."

"Thank you, healer Jones-Tyson." Susan took a deep breath, still feeling a little shocked. How was she going to tell Harry? Should she tell Harry? Or, should she wait until she was further along? Susan made her way back to the hotel where they had been staying.

Harry was finishing up his packing when she stepped into the suite. He looked up. "Hey," he said. "How was your walk?"

Susan smiled. "It was good. I love it here, but I'm excited to get back home."

Harry grinned. "Same. I wonder what everyone else back home has been doing. Your bag is by the door."

"Thanks. I'm glad I finished packing after I got dressed this morning." She looked over his bag which was stuffed. "You look like you ran around stuffing all of your things in last minute," she said with a small laugh.

"Yep! I ate and then I took a long hot shower." Harry shrugged. "The water felt really good on my back." Susan smiled as he picked up his bag. "I'm ready to go."

Susan nodded. "Our portkey should be ready to go in half an hour, and we should return the key to the front desk."

They made their way down to the front desk after checking that they had everything, and returned the key. Then they made their way outside to look at the ocean, holding each other as they waited for their portkey to activate. With a pull by the naval, they were taken back to Potter Manor, where they were met with a large group. James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus, Regulus, Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa, Severus Snape, Daphne and her parents and Astoria, and Amelia Bones-Weasley were standing inside the large family room waiting for the couple.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, looking at the crowd.

Draco grinned. "What? Can't we all just be here to welcome you back?" He walked over to hug Harry. "How was your honeymoon?"

"It was great," Harry said with a huge grin. "How's your wedding planning going?"

"Slow," Draco replied, stepping back.

"A year to go," Harry said. "It'll be here before you know it." He and Susan were hugged by most of the other guests, and then Harry turned to look at Daphne. "What's wrong, Daphne?"

Daphne smiled slightly, worry shining in her eyes. "Nothing is wrong... exactly." She held out a few pages. "We looked at a few houses while you two were gone. These were the ones that I thought the three of us should look over."

Harry looked at her a little closer. She was wearing a slightly baggy top, definitely not her usual style. Something was up. "Okay," he said, before looking over the pages in his hands. Susan looked over with him. There were a few small mansions in the pile... and then there was one cottage with four bedrooms. "The cottage seems nice," Harry said.

Susan nodded. "Yes, but we need to think of the future." Everyone turned to look at her in confusion, and she shrugged. "What if we have a lot of children in the future? What if we have family and friends come visit at the same time?" She glanced at Daphne who was pale-faced. "Anything is possible and we should always be prepared," she said as she suddenly understood what was going on with Daphne. She smiled at the other woman. Daphne swallowed.

Harry nodded. "You're right, Susan." He set the page with the cottage on it aside, and looked over the manors again. "How about this one? It's close to all of our families, but not too close." He smirked at his dad. The other adults laughed, and Harry noticed Daphne's continued distance.

"Daphne," said Susan. "I think you need to come over here and say what you need to before Harry explodes." She giggled.

Daphne nodded slowly and walked over to Harry and Susan. "Harry, I know you weren't expecting this to happen so soon... I found out about two months ago, but I couldn't let you know then because you were busy planning your wedding to Susan. I thought I would tell you when the wedding happened, but then I realized that I couldn't take the attention away from the wedding."

"Daphne, you're worrying me. What's going on?" Harry framed Daphne's face in his hands.

"Harry, I'm pregnant."
