Flashback

Draco and Severus sat next to the two hospital beds. Harry was knocked out and Lucius fainted. Had they known this would happen, they would have made Harry let Severus tell Lucius about the pregnancies…

Harry walked into Lucius’ study. He had used Draco’s owl and sent a note to Lucius, saying they needed to talk. Lucius came in shortly after and watched Harry nervously. He never showed fear around the Dark Lord, but he was too scared of Harry to care. He had proved himself more dangerous and strong than Voldemort, and even though he had a kind heart, he had several times shown he wouldn’t hold back when punishing someone. Harry smiled softly. “I have news. About Severus and Draco,” he said calmly, watching Lucius momentarily tense. “They’ve got buns in the ovens.” Lucius stared at Harry, and before either could realize what happened, a fist connected with the Harry’s jaw, and Harry fell to the floor, banging his head against a chair; knocking him out.

Draco and Severus was on their way to see if Harry told the older Malfoy, and they ran into the room, when they heard a thud on the floor. They were both surprised to see Harry on the floor. They had made a bet; Severus said his father would faint right away, and Draco had said Lucius would first faint once he saw the two of them. They had decided the winner would get a massage from the loser. “Harry! Father, what happened?” Draco squealed, letting Severus rush over and check Harry.

Lucius just pointed his shaking hand at Harry. “He implied you did womanly things! He said you were making buns!” Draco and Severus shared a look. They had forgotten Harry grew up muggle, and Lucius knew nothing about muggle phrases.

Draco got his father over to the couch, and made him sit down. “Dad, to say someone has buns or bread in the oven is a muggle phrase, which means the person is pregnant. Sev and I are both pregnant.” Lucius stood up to say something, but immediately fainted onto the couch. “Remind me I owe you a massage after they wake up, Sev…” Severus nodded, but didn’t move from Harry’s side. With a quick spell, the healer was alerted, and would be there to help Harry and Lucius soon.

Harry groaned. His head was pounding. “Harry! Sev, Harry woke up!” He cringed a bit when Draco’s voice cut through his skull like a sharp blade. “Here, Harry, Sev gave me this for when you woke. It’s a pain reliever.” Harry quickly drank down the content, and sighed when his head calmed and Draco’s voice became the usual, pleasant melody it was to his sensitive ears. “Dad’s still out. He was stressed, so after he woke Sev gave him a sleeping draught; on the healer’s orders. We were told you had to wake on your own. You were out for five hours.” Harry just smiled and pulled Draco into a soft kiss.

Severus walked in and stared at Harry and Draco kissing. “Well, it’s good he woke up, but don’t you two ever wait for me anymore?” Severus was pouting and looked like he could start crying at any time, which neither of them had seen before. The mood-swings were already very clear on Severus, while Draco had no visible effect except his random cravings at supper so far.

Harry merely smiled. “Oh, love, we’d never be able to even start without you. You’re wonderful! I was merely stopping Draco’s rambling. You know I love you. I can’t live without you.” Severus practically melted at the words and got up on the bed next to Harry, snuggling into his embrace. Draco quivered his bottom lip, and looked hurt. “Maybe we should go find a bigger bed to snuggle in. I doubt Lucius would be happy to wake up to the three of us piled on this tiny bed.” Severus and Draco both brightened, and hurried from the room. The best bed they could get to would be in Harry’s room in the manor. Lucius woke up shortly after the two others left. “Good morning, Lucius. You got a good punch in. Sleep well?” Lucius looked at Harry, but didn’t answer. “I won’t hurt you. I should’ve realized you wouldn’t know a muggle phrase like that. But why did you punch me?” Harry asked, watching Lucius closely.

Lucius took a deep breath. “You said they had buns in the ovens. I thought you implied they were baking; a womanly chore usually done by house elves. I thought you were insulting them by calling them women…” Harry nodded, and slowly got up to follow his lovers to his room. “I guess you’re going to find them. I’ll go see the healer to say you’re awake. I’ll tell him he can come and check on you after dinner. Draco and Severus will summon him if it’s needed.” Harry merely nodded again, smiling at Lucius. Then he hurried to his room; he had snuggling to do!
