Mates

A child, their mate had a child. Well that didn’t seem so bad. Severus may not have acted like he liked children, but he didn’t really mind them. He knew this would please Remus, the man loved children and as dominants they were not able to have them. But now that they have their submissive children were a possibility.

“When do we get to see this child?” Remus asked. He really wanted to see their mate’s little one and get a good look at her. He had only gotten a glimpse before the wolf had taken control.

Harry spun around shocked by this answer. They wanted to meet his daughter. Severus read this reaction, stood, and took their small mate back into his arms.

“This child is a part of you, therefore a part of us. We have a bond with them as well as you and will love them as much as we will love the children you give us.” He said before he pressed his lips over Harry’s in a gentle and chaste kiss. “Now where is this child?”

“Sirius and …” he suddenly didn’t know what to call James. Did he call him his dad, or just James?

“Your dad?” Remus asked as he walked over and put his arm around Severus who was holding Harry.

“Yeah they took her when the wolf gained control.” Harry said smiling shyly at Remus.

Remus smiled back and said, “Well shall we go get her then?”

“Her?” Severus looked confused.

“My daughter, Brook.” Harry said looking at him.

“Well let’s go.” Remus said as he held up the shirt he had taken off Harry. When their cloths were back in place they three set off to get the little girl.

Sirius and James were playing on the floor with the little girl when they heard a knock on the door. Sirius got up and was not surprised to see Remus, Severus, and Harry standing there. He was surprised however when he heard the little girl start crying. She hadn’t cried once until now.

“Alright, you on the floor, what did you do to my daughter?” Harry said glaring playfully at James.

“I swear I didn’t do anything. She was fine until you came into view.” James said. He couldn’t figure out why the little girl had suddenly started crying.

Harry just laughed as he walked over and picked her up, cuddling her to his chest. He saw that his mates had taken a seat on one of the couches in the room, so he went and sat between them. He laughed again when he was the worried look on his dad’s face.

“Don’t worry, she does that all the time. She is just fine with Dean and Seamus until I walk into the room, then she isn’t happy until I pick her up.” Harry said as he straightened Brooks cloths. He never saw the way Severus was looking at her.

Severus instantly recognized the eyes of the little girl and knew who her father was. How could he not he was the boys godfather. He had know Harry and his godson had been involved during school and wanted to ring Draco’s neck for treating Harry the way he had. He also wondered if Harry and Draco were still together. Sure he knew Draco was married, but he wouldn’t put it past his godson to cheat on his spouse.

Harry looked into Severus’ eyes and could see the different emotions floating through them. “She isn’t his.” He said simply.

“What do you mean?” Severus asked.

“She isn’t Draco’s. I haven’t seen him in a little over two years. We broke up on my 18th birthday after he told me he was going to marry someone else in a weeks time.” Harry said as he hugged his little girl closer. “I don’t even know Brook’s fathers name.” He said as a tear rolled down his cheek.

The other’s looked at him in shock wondering what was so bad about this memory. They found out soon enough. “I had gone to a pub that night intent on getting drunk. A man there with the same eyes as Draco bought me a drink and we talked. Suddenly I started feeling sick and made to leave. He offered to help me home and I thanked him and told him where I lived. That was the last thing I remembered before I woke up with him on top of me, rapping me. The drugs were still strong in my system and I passed out again. When I woke after that I was alone.” Harry said as he cried.

“I called Seamus and Dean and later told them what happened. They refused to let me go back to my flat and I moved in with them. A month later I was told I was pregnant and I was scared the baby would be Draco’s and he would take it from me. I was extremely relieved when tests proved her father to be my rapist.” Harry said still crying. He was shocked when he felt someone lift him and his daughter and settle them in their lap. He then felt someone else take Brook from him as he cried into the chest of the person holding him.

When he got a hold of himself he saw it was Remus holding him and that Brook was settled safely in Severus lap playing with the man’s robes. His father looked like he had been crying and was being held by Sirius.

“Harry, none of that was your fault. You didn’t know the drink had been drugged. You didn’t know Draco would treat you like that.” Remus said as he kissed the tear stained cheeks.

“I thought I could trust him. He had told me he loved me, but later said that was just to get me to spread my legs for him.” Harry said.

“Draco doesn’t know what love is. He treated you poorly and now his loss in our gain. He lost a beautiful partner and an adorable baby. But we gained those things. We wouldn’t have been able to bond with you had he stayed in the picture, but by removing himself he gave you to us. That is a gift we will not be returning or giving to anyone else.” Severus said as he hugged the little girl.

“Harry, I am so sorry we weren’t there to protect you. You were young, you didn’t know people out there would do that to you.” James said as he cried. He had really let his son down. He left him to be manipulated and walked on.

“It’s not your fault. You gave your life for mine. Just like I would do for Brook.” Harry said as he got off Remus and walked over to hug his dad. He could tell the man was sorry, but it wasn’t his fault.

James just held his son and cried into the long black hair of one of the people who mattered most to him.

They had stayed and talked with James and Sirius late into the night and at one point Brook had fallen asleep in Severus’ lap. When they all started yawning it was decided that it was time for bed and they would all see each other in the morning. Harry moved to take Brook from Severus, but them man moved so he couldn’t touch her.

“If you so much as think we are letting you and her out of our sights you have another thing coming to you. We will talk to Albus in the morning about getting bigger rooms on another floor of the castle so there will be windows, but till then the two of you stay with us.” Harry knew there was no point in arguing so just nodded and allowed Remus to lead him down to the dungeons where the two had slept.

When they made it to the bedroom he watched as Severus transfigured a chair into a crib and gently laid Brook down. He was then given one of Remus’ t-shirts as he was smaller than Severus and it would only go to Harry’s knees instead of his calves. He was shocked by how tall his mates were, Remus stood 6ft 2in and Severus was 6ft 5in. They both easily towered over him.

He went to the bathroom to change and when he was finished he crawled into bed next to Remus. He was shocked when the werewolf grabbed him and rolled so that he was now between the two doms. He found it was nice being between them, it felt safe. He then felt Severs wrap his arms around his waist while Remus wrapped his arms around his shoulders. Well that would take some getting used to, but he found he liked being held by them. With that he fell asleep the other two not far behind him.

The three were woke up the next morning by a baby who wanted attention. Harry instantly tried to move to get her and was shocked when Severus held him down.

“You are not her only care giver anymore. Let us help you.” He heard the vampire say as Remus moved to get his daughter.

Brook instantly reached for the werewolf and was cuddled. “I will give her a bath and one of you go to Harry’s room and get her some cloths.” Remus said as he took the baby to the bathroom.

An hour later the family of four were all clean and ready to go to breakfast in the great hall, not knowing what news would be brought that day.

They were sitting eating breakfast, Remus between Harry and Severus as Harry refused to let anyone else feed Brook. They all looked up when the owls flew in and watched as the Daily Prophet was delivered to Sirius and a letter was delivered to Severus.

“Looks like they finally decided to announce we’re back and that I am innocent.” He and James had gone to the ministry the day after they returned and were waiting when Fudge was going to tell the people the truth. They all looked up when they heard Severus gasp.

“It seems my godson is celebrating the birth of his first child in a weeks time and has invited me and asked I bring my mates, if I had found the submissive by then.” He had told Draco that he and Remus had felt the pull of their third mate and now his godson wanted to meet this person. “He even included a picture of the baby.” He said as he wrinkled his nose. That had to be the ugliest baby he had ever seen. He handed the picture to Remus and Harry and watched as the two gave the same reaction. The poor thing really had to be ugly if sweet little Harry would react like that.

“Are you guys going?” James asked. He wasn’t sure he wanted his son around the little bastard that had hurt him so.

“Only if Harry wants to. We are not leaving him here.” Remus said as he looked at his small mate.

“I can handle it, but I don’t want Brook there.” Harry said unsure whether he could really handle it of not, but knew Severus should be there as he was Draco’s godfather. He would just have to wait and see how things went.
