Of Parenting and Wings

Draco smiled as Harry and Lucius walked into the room. “How are you doing? Pamela just left. Our little Dante is perfect. He’s got tiny baby fangs already, just peeking through his gums.” He said proudly.

Harry blinked in surprise. “Is that normal?” He asked. “Fangs so soon?’

Draco smiled. “The Fae have fangs from birth. They lose their baby set at five and their adult set grows in, which are longer and sharper. His seem to be sharper than Fae milk fangs, she says. I don’t know if that’s because they’re a different species or not. Want to hold him?” Draco held him out.

“Sure.” Harry gently took the baby and smiled down at him. He was tiny, and had a bald head with just a few blond hairs sparsely dusted over his head. His eyes were a dark blue that appeared almost black. “Is he going to have Severus’ eyes, do you think?” He asked.

Draco hummed. “I think he’ll have dark eyes, yes. He’s a Faurae, so they might end up differently coloured. It would be awesome if they ended up purple or something like that.”

Lucius hummed. “It would be interesting to have a grandchild with purple eyes, that much is true.”

Severus was watching Harry like a hawk, but seemed okay with the other submissive holding his child.

“Go ahead and let Father have a turn holding him.” Draco told Harry.

Harry handed the baby over and Lucius smiled down at the boy. “Little Dante. Welcome to the family, little one.” He said softly.

Severus was visibly tense watching Lucius hold his son.

“He’s beautiful, Draco. Well done, son.” Lucius said. “He’s going to be a dominant, I think. He has that look about him.” He mused, staring down at the scrunched-up face. He grinned. “He really looks like Severus. Look at that scowl!” He laughed.

Harry looked up at the man in question and laughed at the matching scowl on his face. “Exactly like him, yes.” He chortled.

“I resent that remark.” He stepped up to Lucius. “You can give my son back now.” He said.

Lucius handed the baby back, still chuckling lightly. “He got Draco’s nose and lips, but the brow line and cheekbones are all you, Severus.”

Draco chuckled. “Hopefully he’ll have my disposition.” He said lightly.

Lucius nodded. “One can only hope. Well, we’ll get home. I hope to see you soon, Draco. Come visit when you’re up and about again.” He said, wrapping an arm around Harry and leading him out of the room.
