A Thank You Kiss

A/N: thanks to all those who reviewed. I\'m soooo glad that you liked it. I hope you\'ll like this one too and the next (the last) one too. Don\'t forget to tell me what you think.

A month later.
\"Triplets?\"
\"Triplets.\"
\"Are you trying to tell me that not an hour ago I gave birth to three children?\" asked a wide-eyed Harry Potter in a hoarse voice.
\"That\'s right love. Not an hour ago you gave birth to three beautiful daughters.\" Replied Lucius with a small but very smug smile.
\"And how did I survive that?\" asked Harry still in awe at himself.
At that Lucius laughed out loud taking his shocked husband into his arms.
\"Harry, love, you survived far worse than that. And our daughters are perfect angels. Though I won\'t deny the fact that they can be perfect devils as well. The moment they saw the world they made sure every single person knew about their arrival. The sound of their triple scream I am positively sure still rings in everyone\'s head.\"
\"I must have passed out just about that time. Guess hearing their screaming was just too much. Why the mediwitch didn\'t at least warned me that there was going to be more than one child!? Now I know why sometimes I behaved like a demon. Now you see that all yelling and flying things were not my fault. After all I was carrying three temperamental Malfoy\'s along with me.\" Said Harry pouting adorably in his husband\'s personal opinion.
Lucius kept on laughing now massaging Harry\'s back who turned his pout into soft quiet mewls amusing Lucius still more.
\"Yes, love, I can see it now.\" agreed Lucius.
\"So…can I see them?\" asked Harry timidly after a long comfortable pause not quite believing that he was going to see his daughters. At one hand Harry wanted to see his new-born daughters and to kiss them and to squeeze them but on the other hand he was afraid what if he hurt them what if he don\'t know what to do? Lucius kissed him on the lips breaking his musings.
\"Of course you can, love. I\'ll tell the mediwitch to bring them.\"
Lucius was about to stand up when Harry urgently grabbed him by the elbow his eyes once again wide with fear.
\"What\'s wrong, Harry? Are you hurt?\"
Harry shook his head biting his lower lip.
\"No…I just…how are they? Are they all right? Will they like me? I haven\'t hurt them in any way, have I?\" he asked all the while squeezing Lucius\' elbow. Lucius smiled and went on reassuring Harry.
\"Harry, calm down, they are perfectly fine and they will surely love you.\"
\"Ooh they will surely love their mommy.\" Drawled a familiar voice from the door.
\"Hello, Draco.\" Said Harry as Draco approached him giving him a hug of his own and a kiss on the forehead, \"Hello, mommy, I\'m glad you finally joined us.\"
\"I may be theirs mommy but I am surely not yours.\" Scolded Harry good-naturedly swatting Draco\'s hands away from him.
\"Ouch, touchy.\"
\"I have every right to be touchy after all I gave birth to three girls. Three perfect angels as your father says.\" Stated Harry proudly while Draco petting him on the head smirking.
\"You were always a good boy, Potter.\"
Just now two mediwitches entered. One of them holding two wrapped up bundles while another held one. Harry craned his neck to see his three daughters as soon as possible his heart racing something wild. \'I\'m sure I wasn\'t that nervous when I was giving birth to them\' thought Harry. He saw that the two bundles had some (not much but enough to make out to which blood-line they belonged) blond hair while another bundle\'s hair was black just like Harry\'s. Harry was already grinning widely as they were being placed in his arms.
Soon all the girls were lying peacefully in their daddy\'s arms sweetly yawning.
\"Oh my God they are indeed perfect.\" Said Harry in awe. He wasn\'t even aware that the whole room was now filled with all of his family and friends. He could hardly tear his gaze from them to look at Lucius.
\"They are perfect, I told you.\" Replied Lucius kissing Harry softly on the forehead while tracing lightly his daughters\' features.
Harry nodded and looked down at his girls once again his brows furrowed.
\"Let\'s see, \" he said after a pause, \"These two ladies with blond hair are Belle and Blanche.\" He nodded at the two sleeping beauties on his right, \"And this sweet thing,\" he looked adoringly at the girl with jet-black hair smiling happily, \"is Bianca.\"
Then Harry looked up at Lucius uncertainty shining clearly in his eyes.
\"You don\'t mind do you?\" he asked softly leaning forwards to kiss Lucius on the lips and if his husband minded to persuade him with a deep passionate kiss to agree with his choice of names. He didn\'t even know where did they come from but he liked them at once. His persuasive technique seemed to work because as soon as the kiss ended Lucius said that he didn\'t mind at all and that the names Harry picked up were just as perfect as their daughters.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lucius sat so that now he had Harry along with their daughters in his arms. They watched mesmerized as one by one each girl slowly opened their eyes stretching their small mouths in another yawn before blinking several times and looking at their parents.
Harry smiled a bit apprehensively as three pairs of different eyes stared back at him at first suspiciously then curiously.
\"Hello Belle, Blanche and Bianca.\" He said quietly kissing each girl on the forehead, \"I am your daddy and here right beside me is your father.\" The girls shifted their attention to Lucius looking at him the same way they looked at Harry a moment ago before he greeted them as well. The girls seemed satisfied with their parents. They looked at each other with small identical smiles on their little faces and after sharing a few glances fell asleep. It lookedthouthough they knew each other very well. But then again they spent quiet a lot of months together, mused Harry, no wonder they have their own way of communication.
Harry looked up at the mediwitch that just entered his eyebrows raised.
\"Is that it? And what about screaming, yelling, tantrum throwing?\" he asked incredulously.
Everyone visibly winced at the mention of their screams while Draco drawled.
\"Believe me, Potter, you don\'t want to hear them screaming.\"
The mediwitch smiled.
\"There is no need for them to scream or yell at the moment. They are fed and they are surrounded by their family that loves them. All they need now is to get some sleep. As should you, Mr. Potter. So I would ask all of you lot to clear out. Yes and you too Mr. Malfoy. Your husband needs all the rest he can get.\"
\"But can\'t they stay with me?\" asked Harry pleadingly looking at his daughters. He wasn\'t yet ready to say good-bye and they felt so wonderfully comfortable in his arms.
\"No.\" Said the witch strictly taking the girls in her hands and marching everyone out.
Though Lucius ever the sneaky one was quick and lucky enough to give and get in return a couple of passionately reassuring kisses. His husband\'s kisses seemed to calm Harry down in the absence of small bodies in his arms and as exhaustion and tiredness finally caught up with him he fell into a peaceful sleep his face sporting a sweet happy smile not unlike the ones his daughters fell asleep with.
