It was a day that he shouldn't have been worried about, but Draco was worrying for his Boyfriend and his future baby. From the phone call he'd gotten from Harry who was on his way from Belfast Ireland. He was having second thoughts about this whole adoption thing. This wasn't the first time Harry had expressed such feelings, but normally, he wasn't thousands of miles away promoting a record.
It had be awful the last three years since Harry's singing career exploded and he was world popular. The record company wanted to get as much out of him as they could, paying him well, but leaving it impossible for him to spend more than a week at home in over two years. Life was chaos for Harry, but in three months he would get his break and start work on his next album.
Draco missed Harry alot, although he'd been able to go with him on the road for three weeks over the summer months before the season started they had very Little time to themselves and were repeated forced apart by need to avoid paparazzi. Harry had outed himself in the press two years ago with Draco's blessing, but that meant they had to be extra careful about being seen together in public. It was the nature of the beast and with the press killing him about exiting the playoffs without a superbowl appearence the last two years, he didn't need the extra bad press. His features were more polished and less boyish. At 26 he was the be all and end all of the leadership on his team. Some veterans called him the baby butt wiper since the rookies always came to him for advice.
His friend Cruz was one of the few who happened to know his secret and he kept it well hidden. However, on a day like today. Draco was increasingly paranoid about things. So Cruz had taken the liberty of arranging everything so Draco could meet Harry at the hospital and get their new baby boy without being seen.
"Thanks man, I owe you." Draco told him in a rush as they met at the car to go to the hospital from practice. Cruz just nodded his agreement that he was owed as he got into the driver's seat. "The papers would love this shit dude." Draco sighed bitterly. "Fuck them dude." Draco smiled, these were the simple quotes he loved from Cruz, simple, direct and hard to argue.

Harry was tired, jetlaged, he'd just hit his 5th and last plane. He crashed for a few hours of eratic sleep. His manager Scott laid a blanket over him and contiued to click away on his laptop and look at media shoots and work on his star's schedule. He knew that Harry was nearly burned out and he also knew that this trip had the opportunity to allow him a break. Scott was worried about Harry, the man clearly was too shy for the media he was getting and long hours with no down time was making his emotional fits more frequent. He knew as a manager he shouldn't get too invovled, but he'd spent 2 years with Harry before he was famous. The younger man was like a little brother to him.

They called eachother on their cellphones as they approached the hospital. Draco clearly more awake then Harry, but Harry no less excited. Soft I love yous were exchanged as they got out of their cars to go meet eachother at the designated entrance. As he had promised, the entrance was gaurded by police and the small wing of the seattle hospital was empty except for nurses and the expecting mother.
And there they were. twenty feet, Ten feet, Two feet, they stood face to face for the first time in nearly 3 months. "You look exhausted." Draco exclaimed as his arms pulled Harry to him. "I am Drake, but I am happy to see you." Harry said so softly that Draco just guessed at what he said. "Let's go inside." Draco whispered into Harry's ear and led him inside. They met a nurse who led them to a waiting area. The nurses looked at eachother and the whispers that Draco worried about every night in his dreams started.
They took a seat on a small leather couch and Harry yawned very hard. Draco put his arm around him. "Are you going to be ok baby?" Harry nodded, but his swollen eyes told the truth as one of the nurses came up and looked them over. "Excuse me, Harry Potter?" The brown haired boy warily sat up to adress her. "Ummmmm, would it be ok if I got your autograph?" She was very nervous. "I mean, I know it's sort of rude, but..." Harry waived her off. "No it's ok ma'am, what's your name?" Harry held back another yawn. She told him her name and he tried hard to sign her paper but his hand wouldn't stop shaking. "Drake, could you help me?" Harry sounded shamed and frusterated at his lack of capability to do this simple task. However, Draco recused him by helping steady his hand.
once the nurse had her autograph she left and Draco asked another nurse to make sure they were not bothered. Draco softly storked Harry's hair. "it's ok if you need to sleep baby, I'll wake you when it's time." Harry was all too happy to ablidge his lover and relaxed into a light sleep. He'd never know just how terrified Draco was when he saw Harry's hands shaking, it reminded him of when his dad got sick.
For several hours Draco waited and he started to wonder if the call was a false alarm. He didn't mind, the time to spend with Harry in his arms was the nicest time he had since Tim's birthday when they had all been together. He'd realized as soon as he'd thought about it, that they had forgotten to call Tim and tell him he was an uncle. So he called his brother on the phone and told him the news.
"Really? That's awesome! Where are you guys? I'll be there soon." Tim's phone clicked off just as a nurse walked out to the two outstreached on the couch and told them it was time. Draco was a ball of nerves just like the first time he played a game in the pros. He would be a daddy soon and Harry would be a papa. He walked into the hospital room and over to the woman who'd agreed to carry his baby. "Thanks Panzy." He had to admit he'd not even considered her on the list of possible candidates, but she had wound up volunteering. Her husband Vincent had hated the idea, but she persisted and convinced him that he should go along. They wern't exactly doing this for free.
"He's so beautiful Drake." She whispered. It had obviously been a tough labor but she seemed alright and still very awake. The nurse brought the boy in and put him in Draco's arms. He imediately connected. Harry by his side smiled down at the little ball of human his boyfriend had created and tears filled his eyes. "Do you have a name yet?" The nurse asked as she made panzy more comfortable. "We do." Harry said as the room was suprised by his sudden speech. "Tell them what you picked love." Harry encouraged.
Draco breathed deep.
"Lucius Malfoy." The baby seemed to voice his approval.

A/N: Everything I wrote I hated after 40. So this took about six months to write. Please let me know what you think of the story and I will be going through and editing this all next week so I can make it ready for the final 15 or so chapters of this story. For those of you who continue to support this story, I love you.
