Working on a Full House

Wave 2
Challenge #111: Snape gets Draco pregnant. Draco
gets Harry pregnant. In the Muggle world, each person can only be
married to one person, but that is not true in the Wizarding World.
Snape is forced to marry Draco and Draco is forced to marry Harry.
Snape and Harry are not forced to marry each other. Snape and Harry
must not be involved before the marriages take place. You get bonus
points if, at the beginning, Snape and Harry hate each other as much as
they do in canon. (Submitted by Miss Aramis)

Rusty who helped me write the sex scene!

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

A young blonde
haired mans head rested on the shoulder of an
older black haired man panting, collecting himself before dressing and
leaving the room.  Both men were sweaty having just finished with
a very pleasurable fuck session.   There was no real love
between them; this relationship was only about control and pain. 
They fucked, that\'s all they did.  Days like today Draco needed to
be controlled simple as that, and he loved the way Severus controlled
him.  He delivered pain as well as he delivered pleasure, there
was a
fine balance, and he was a fine teacher.  There were also days,
like two days ago, when Drfeltfelt he needed to control, that was when
he went to his boyfriend; his boyfriend knew naught of his relationship
with Severus.  Draco had never agreed to be exclusive with his
boyfriend, but his boyfriend stayed faithful to him, so he felt a
little guilt over the situation, but he needed this as much as he
needed the control Harry let him have. 

Harry and
Draco, well to say their relationship was twisted
would be an understatement.  There were feelings, strong feelings,
but what exactly they were no one knew.  Mainly for Harry, Draco
was stress relief, somewhere where he didn\'t have to be strong; he
could and should be weak as were the dynamics of their
relationship.  It worked for both of them; however, there was no
real love here either.  Harry, with his upbringing by the muggles,
didn\'t know
what love was, but did like to be controlled to a certain extent, and
behind closed doors with Draco he got just that from his blonde lover.

Draco began
being submissive with Severus at the end of his
sixth year.  He\'d practically begged the man to control him, and
Severus
had finally given in shortly after Draco\'s seventeenth birthday. 
Their
relationship continued through the summer; Lucius had been so pleased
his son was trying to learn how to be a master in the bedroom, and
Lucius knew, besides himself, Severus was one of the best their was for
being dominant.  Lucius had been even more pleased when he\'d heard
who his son was using to practice on, none other than the savior of
the wizarding world, Harry-bloody-Potter himself.  Lucius Malfoy
was very proud of his son.

Voldemort was
still around and being the half breed busy body
he always was.  Most of his Death Eaters were tired of this
obsession with Harry Potter, so many ignored him.  After all he\'d
not been able to kill a simple child, nor successfully capture said
child, his popularity amongst his own followers was waning.  There
had not been enough Death Eaters to get any kind of raids together, so
the Dark Lord was basically on his own.   Harry was still
prophesied to battle with him, but it could wait a little while
since he didn\'t have very many active followers.  The Malfoys had
all but abandoned him, and he was furious with that, but without
support
there was little to be done with it.

Draco was
brought back to the real world when Severus began to
speak.  Severus normally got over the afterglow quickly.

\"Get dressed
and get out, Draco; I\'ll see you again next
week.\"  Severus quickly removed himself from the bed and went into
the bathroom to shower and clean himself up.

Sighing
heavily, Draco got up got dressed and went back to the
dorms to shower and clean himself up.  Draco began thinking to
himself he\'d learned just about everything he was going to learn from
Severus, and he was needing to be controlled less and less.  He
was
currently only going once a week and it was getting to the point where
he was starting to feel ill before going; he needed to speak with
Severus next week and lessen the amount of time, or even just quit all
together.  He had far better fun controlling Harry than he did
with Severus controlling him.  That decided, he\'d talk with
Severus next week and inform him they would ease out of it if that was
all right with the professor; this was a relationship and they did need
to communicate.  They were still as friendly as two Slytherins
could be.

Draco silently
entered the common room and showered and readied
for bed silently.  Curling himself around his pillow, he drifted
off into a peaceful nights sleep.

The next few
days passed as they normally did and Draco went to
the room of requirement where he and Harry always met; he\'d paced the
hall three times and the door appeared and he entered smiling at how
the room looked.  The bed was as it normally was, covered in
crimson red silk sheets; on the bedside table was an assortment of
sexual toys and some lubricating oils.  On the wall there were
some
control devices, whips, chains, daggers, shackles, most of which were
simply there for effect.  In the middle of the room was a large
x-shaped post with chains and shackles attached to it; Draco grinned
and ran
his fingers on it lovingly as he inspected all the things in the
room.  Draco changed into the leather outfit he had wished
for.  It
made him feel so dominant to wear it; he loved the feel of it, the
smell of it.

Not long after
he changed the door opened and then closed again
apparently by itself, but Draco knew it was Harry under his
invisibility cloak.

\"Your
punctuality is improving; I\'m impressed.  You\'re actually
three minutes early.\" Draco said while he gathered a small riding
crop and some oil that was laced with very mild muscle relaxers as well
as minor healing properties.  Draco then turned and pointed to the
post. 

\"Undress and
place your chest to the post,\" came the
clipped order and Harry did as told without
hesitation and without uttering a single word.

Once Draco had
Harry\'s hands and feet secured in the shackles,
he ran the
riding crop lovingly across the back of Harry\'s thighs. He cast a
spell that cleaned his rectum as well as his anus even though he knew
Harry had washed well prior to coming to their meeting. 

\"Do you know
how beautiful you are when you surrender to me
like you do?  Of course you don\'t; you can\'t see it.  Maybe
one day
I\'ll take a picture for you and you can see it, would you like that
Harry?  Would you like to see yourself when you give over control
like you do only for me?  I am the only one who can do this for
you aren\'t I Harry?\" 

Draco
continued to move the riding crop over
Harry\'s ass, legs and back while he bombarded the questions to the
raven haired man before him. 

Harry only
shuddered for an answer;
he couldn\'t speak beyond his anxiety.

Draco tilted
Harry\'s head up when he received no answer.

\"You may
answer the last question, Harry; you won\'t be punished
for it.  Am I the only one that can do this for you?\"  Draco
said
when he received no answer from Harry.

\"Only you,
sir, only you, no one else touches me the way you
do,\"  Harry replied honestly and with a hint of need and lust in
his voice which made Draco grin.

\"Very good,
Harry, very good indeed,\" Draco said in a very
Snape-like manner.  \"Lets find out just how much you need
it.\" 

At this Draco
raised the riding crop and smacked Harry on the
ass with
it, not extremely hard, but enough to sting a bit.  Harry
immediately bit his bottom lip to hold the groan; gods but he\'d been
looking forward to this all day long, and his cock began to swell on
the first impact.

\"You are
always so responsive.  That\'s one of the things that I
like about you, Harry.  Did you know that with just one touch I
can get
your eyes to glaze over?  It\'s quite erotic when you think about
it.  I
wish you could see it; you look so beautiful.  So pretty when you
scream and really amazing when you cry.\"  Draco raised his hand
and dragged a finger roughly down Harry\'s face.  This time he
didn\'t try
to stop the moan that escaped his lips.

Draco then
pulled back and smacked Harry on the ass again,
eliciting yet another groan.  Draco then put the
crop down and grabbed the oil.  He quickly slicked up two fingers
as well as dribbling some down the cleft of Harry\'s ass
and swiftly breached the puckered entrance.  His reward was a
stifled scream from Harry. 

Draco twisted
his fingers for a few
moments before he oiled up his cock and then slammed into Harry in one
quick movement, with Harry screaming the entire time.  The scream
he pulled out of Harry was an erotic cross between pleasure and pain,
just as he wanted.  Thrusting quite a few more times, he
completely withdrew from Harry and began to walk around. 

Looking
over his implements he grabbed his paddle, the one with the holes, and
walked back over to Harry before smacking his ass hard five times in
quick
succession.  Harry had tears running down his face and tried his
hardest
not to actually cry out.  There was more to
come; there always was.  And even though it did cause pain, it
felt good
as well.

Harry was a
strong willed, fairly quiet person by nature, but
due to his upbringing, being controlled was also in his nature. 
Dumbledore manipulated him, but Draco actually controlled him.  He
needed this; it kept him grounded.  When Draco had first
approached him, he was very unsure if he would like it; he was almost
positive that he wouldn\'t, but gods did he wind up loving it and
needing it.  When Draco had tried to explain the whole pleasure is
pain and pain is pleasure he wasn\'t buying it; then Draco had laughed
and said that true, not all pain was pleasure, but Draco knew which
kind of pain would cause pleasure, and gods was he right.

Draco took the
paddle and placed its back in it\'s proper place
before going back to Harry carrying a small cat-o-nine tails with
him.  It had multiple strands of heavy leather hanging about
eighteen inches from the
soft ebony leather handle.  Letting the strands drag down Harry\'s
shoulders, Draco leaned against Harry\'s back and arse.

\"So beautiful
when you cry,\"  Draco said sincerely and
dragged his finger down the same path as the tears with
tenderness.  Draco stepped back and dragged the whip over Harry\'s
back before drawing back and hitting him lightly between his thighs,
just giving Harry a
very slight taste of what he was in for. 

Harry tried
his best to
wrap himself around the post and hug it, trying to get comfort from
the wood knowing it would never come.  But he\'d asked for this and
he did enjoy it, but it still hurt.  Draco brought the whip down
again right between his shoulder blades; Harry screamed so prettily
when Draco would get a response out of him.  He knew Harry was
being stubborn when it came to the pain; that\'s what made it so
beautiful to Draco.

\"Now answer
me, Harry; you love it when I do that, don\'t you?
When I take you and leave you wanting more and hurt you just
so?\"  The only reply he got was a nod of the head.  He knew
he
wouldn\'t get too much more out of Harry; Harry was too far into the
pleasurable pain he was experiencing at the moment.

Draco hit
Harry
once more in the small of the back with his whip; he\'d drawn a little
blood with it, but nothing unexpected. Draco returned the whip to its
place and grabbed his cane.  He then smacked Harry\'s arse with
it, pulling another
scream from the abused boy in front of him.  Draco hit him across
his arse cheeks with the cane again and again. pulling yet more of
those
screams from Harry.

After a few
more strokes with the cane Draco took the shackles
off Harry and ordered him to the bed. Harry flinched when he\'d lain
down
on the bed due to the whip marks that had bled slightly; they burned at
the contact of the cool silk sheets on the bed. Draco then took the tip
of the cane and ran it lightly down the length of Harry\'s cock. 
Harry shuddered in fear as well
as anticipation.  His back, arse and legs were one thing; this was
something totally different, something that scared the living daylights
out of him.  Draco then deposited the cane on the floor on the
side of the bed for the time being.

Draco grabbed
a long and thick dildo off the side table and
quickly oiled it; Harry lay on his
back and pulled his knees up to his chest and spread them apart for
maximum exposure, just as he was taught.  Draco smirked at how
well Harry was taking and learning in his training.  He quickly
shoved the dildo up Harry\'s arse, getting yet another scream from the
young lad.  He could listen to Harry scream for hours and never
get
tired of it; he was so delicious when he was helpless like this.

Draco finally
got restless and
thought it high time to finish himself off at least.  He pulled
the dildo out and oiled his prick once more before slamming it into the
well abused hole.  Harry was now moaning and writhing beneath
Draco and Draco loved it; he soon came explosively.  Giving
himself a moment to collect himself, he withdrew from Harry and ordered
him to jack off until he came as well.  This was, after all, about
pain and control, not torture.  And a case of the blue balls would
be
torture.

After parting,
both made their ways back to their respective
common room, agreeing to meet again in three days time.  Giving
Harry\'s
body a chance to recover and also would help to not draw any attention
to
themselves.

day the only thing out of the ordinary that
happened was Seamus\' wand exploded during charms class, which hadn\'t
happened in a couple of years.  The four students that had doubled
over in pain afterwards were taken to the Hospital Wing for
treatment.  The students were Parvati Patil, Pansy Parkinson,
Draco Malfoy
and Harry Potter.  Madam Pomfrey couldn\'t figure out what had
happened as Seamus hadd thd the incantation correctly; no one could
figure out why these four students had doubled over in pain.  The
four remained in the Hospital just in case, and were released the next
morning.

Four weeks
later they all found out what had happened. 
For some unknown reason, Seamus wand cast a spell other than that which
was intended.  The spell it cast made all four of the students get
pregnant by those they had slept with within a seven day period either
before or after the spell.  U[on finding this out Harry was not
shocked to find himself with child, but he was shocked when he
discovered Draco with child.  Draco had fainted straight away at
finding out he was pregnant with none other than Severus Snape\'s spawn.

The laws of
the wizarding world are as such: if you have
fathered a child you must wed the mother.  Draco had told Harry
about this and said that they would need to be wed since he was the
father to Harry\'s baby, and that Draco would have to marry the father
of his baby as well.  He went on to explain that is was very legal
in the wizarding world for bigamy type marriages in such cases as
theirs, they weren\'t common, but not unheard of.  Draco and Harry
had been retained in the Hospital Wing since it was so much more
dangerous for males to be pregnant.

\"But if you
have to marry him, don\'t I have to marry him
too?  Who is it anyway?  I didn\'t know you were sleeping with
anyone but me, and I\'ve never taken you so I know your baby isn\'t
mine.\"  Harry ended softly, but his curiosity was very evident, as
was the hurt.

\"No, Harry,
you won\'t be married to him, only to me.  You
don\'t really know what you\'re asking when you ask me who the other
father is, Harry; you really don\'t want to know,\"  Draco
said.  He
was rather timid at the moment considering his hormone levels were
through the roof and Severus had yelled at him for hours when he found
out Draco was pregnant and that Draco had also gotten Harry
pregnant.  It was going to be a long, slow torturous life for
Draco;
that was for certain.

\"Well how is
this to happen then? I have no idea how this
works,
I mean I\'m not even legal yet.  I\'m still only seventeen, and
you\'re just
barely eighteen.\"  Harry sighed defeatedly, turning a slight green
color before he darted for the bathroom.  Draco sighed heavily and
followed Harry into the bathroom to help him through the puking. 
It made him nauseous but not quite enough to throw-up himself.  He
withstood it because it was his fault Harry was pregnant.  Draco
might have been a control freak, but he wasn\'t a heartless
bastard.  If he were honest with himself he couldn\'t think of a
better \"mother\" for his baby than Harry Potter, strong, beautiful,
powerful, caring and, last of all, honest.  These were strong
traits that any
Malfoy would want in their children.  Well, maybe not the honesty
part, but the rest was good.

When Harry
finished retching Draco asked if he was all right,
to which Harry nodded that he was, cleaned himself up and they headed
back
out to the main part of the Hospital Wing to finish their discussion.

\"There will be
a joint ceremony where you and I will be
hand fasted and the father of my baby and I will be hand fasted as
well.  You won\'t be involved in my other hand fasting; you don\'t
have to do anything with him at all if you don\'t want too,\"  Draco
said trying to get all of this out of the way.  Just then the
hospital doors flew open and Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy came angrily
into the room glaring daggers at both Draco and Harry.  Harry got
off the bed and moved to sit at a table across the back of the room
near Madam Pomfrey\'s office so the Malfoys could have what little
privacy they could be afforded.

\"What is this
nonsense then?  You\'re pregnant with
Severus\' baby and you have Harry Potter of all people carrying yet
another Malfoy heir?  This is disgraceful behavior.  Never
before has
a Malfoy had to marry or hand fast with more than one person. 
This is outrageous,\"  the lord of Malfoy manor fumed.

\"Draco dear, I
love you dearly, but really, this is ridiculous;
it should never have happened.  I don\'t care that it wasn\'t your
fault, you shouldn\'t have had more than one partner at any one
time.\"  Narcissa was disgusted with her son\'s behavior; she knew
the pregnancies were neither his nor Harry\'s fault.  \"But I must
say you
at
least had very powerful partners, they will be fine additions to the
Malfoy family.\"  Narcissa\'s mood was lightening.  \"Now we
must make arrangements for the ceremony; you\'re having a joint one are
you not?\"

Harry had
heard what the Malfoys were saying and was in total
shock when he\'d heard that Draco was carrying Severus Snape\'s baby.

\"SNAPE!\" 
Harry strangled voice rang clear through the
room.  Draco hung his head in shame.  Lucius looked
amused.  This at least was some pay back for the embarrassment of
the situation;
this could be enjoyable.  \"Snape\'s baby?  You mean I have to
share you with him?  Well he can have you.. EWWW you mean I was
..ewww.. just ewww\"  Harry stormed out of the room and into Madam
Pomfrey\'s office, slamming the door wall all his might before he
crumbled to the floor in a heap, sobbing his heart out.

Two weeks
later Harry stood to the left side of Draco and
Severus stood on Draco\'s right; it appeared to Harry that the dominant
person in each relationship was on the right side.  Everyone could
tell by the look in Harry\'s eyes he wasn\'t happy with the
situation.  Draco looked as arrogant as ever and Snape looked just
as blank as ever.

Special rooms
had been prepared in the dungeons for the trio;
Harry had fled there as soon as the hand fasting was done.  He
really wanted nothing to do with it, this just ensured that the child
would be cared for when it was born even though Harry had more than
enough money to care for himself and the baby.  Harry went into
his room; they had set up four rooms in the suite, one for each of
Harry, Draco and Severus and one for both the babies.  While
laying on his bed Harry had thought about how this whole mess had
started.

~*~*Flashback~*~*

Harry was
walking down the halls in the dungeons on his way
back to Gryffindor tower after serving detention yet again.  It
was the third week into his seventh year and he\'d already gotten hit
with four detentions.  Snape was really after him this year that
was
for certain.  Harry took off into what he thought was an empty
classroom and sat in the window for a few minutes, since he\'d never
looked around in the classroom he wasn\'t aware that he wasn\'t alone.

\"Why can\'t I
find what I\'m looking for?  Someone who isn\'t
into me for my fame, yet someone I can hand control over to, someone I
can trust.  Why does it have to be so bloody hard?\"  Harry
sighed and leaned his head on the glass of the window staring out to
the night sky.

\"It doesn\'t
have to be hard if you know where to look,
Harry,\" said a smooth voice that Harry instantly
recognized.  Draco Malfoy, great, just what he needed more
ridicule.

\"What will it
take to keep quiet about this, Malfoy?\" 
Harry figured it was best to try and stop it before it started.

\"I won\'t say
anything, Harry; I promise, providing you listen to
my proposal.\"  Damn the Slytherins resourcefulness.

\"OK, I\'ll
listen but no promises.\"  Harry said exasperated.

\"You say you
want someone to control you; I think I can do
that.  We\'ll meet a couple of times to figure out exactly what you
need.  I\'ve been looking for someone to control but haven\'t found
the right person yet.  If, after these few meetings, we agree we
wouldn\'t mix well, we will renegotiate and I will have you do something
else for me to keep your secret,\" Draco said in a very level and
calm voice as if he\'d been thinking about this for ages rather than a
very few short minutes.

Harry eyed him
warily for a few moments, trying to find some
sort of deceit in his eyes or on his face; finding none, he hesitantly
held his hand out, saying \"deal\" he\'d said before he could really stop
himself.

big>Draco smirked
and they agreed to meet in the very same room in
two days time, giving both a chance to figure out what they really
wanted from each other.

~*~*End
Flashback~*~*

Harry and
Draco had met several times before they actually did
anything.  They had discussed just about everything that would
happen, and then they began slowly to test Harry\'s limits to what he
could
endure and what was enough.  He enjoyed the pain he received; it
acted as an aphrodisiac for him.  He didn\'t need it to
enjoy himself; he\'d had one sexual partner over the summer, so he knew
he didn\'t need the pain to enjoy himself, but it helped him with all
the
guilt.  It made it better for him.  He felt he deserved the
pain
especially after Cedric and Sirius were killed because of his self
inflicted carelessness.

Harry drifted
off to sleep only to be awakened after an unknown
amount of time later by Snape.  Harry growled at him; didn\'t the
man know being pregnant was hard work?

\"What?\" 
Harry said groggily.

\"It\'s time for
dinner you unappreciative brat; I didn\'t hao
wo
wake you at all,\" Snape said with his normal bite before stalking
out the door.

Harry stared
at the ceiling for a moment before his sighed
heavily and got out of bed.  He walked into the attached bathroom
and washed his face with cold water to help wake himself up.  He
then walked out into the sitting room to see a table set up along one
side with three chairs; Draco was sitting in the one that would be
between
Harry and Snape.  Inwardly groaning, Harry took the remaining seat
and the food promptly appeared.  Harry ate very little, his
appetite having dropped since hearing the news of Harry having to be
bonded to someone who was also bonded to Snape.

Draco had
noticed Harry was only playing with, his dinner instead of
eating. 

\"Harry you
really should try and eat more.  It\'s not good for the
baby if you don\'t.\" 

Draco tried to
convince Harry, but it only proved to further
infuriate the Gryffindor.  Harry shoved his plate from in front of
him and stormed back into his room.  He then laid back on his bed
and quickly fell asleep again. 

Draco peeked
in on him a while later and looked on wistfully at
the young man.  He sighed and closed the door softly as to not
wake his partner. Draco then went out and sat down next to Severus and
sighed irritably.

\"What\'s the
matter, Draco?\"  Asked Severus, not really
concerned one way or another; he really felt no feelings at all towards
the blonde.

\"I\'m worried
about Harry.  I mean, I know he\'s upset about the
whole situation between the three of us, but he\'s endangering my child
with his pathetic behavior,\"  Draco whined to the father of the
baby he was pregnant with.  Little did Draco know that Harry was
eating, he just wasn\'t eating in front of them.  He was currently
in his room drowning his sorrows in a dish of ice cream.

\"Draco, you
know I don\'t like Mr. Potter, but with you so
worried over Mr. Potter, you are in fact endangering MY child with your
pathetic behavior.  Mr. Potter will come around when he\'s ready to
act like the adult he is.\"  Severus said with a high amount of
resentment; he hated this situation, but he also knew how much these
children meant to Draco.

Severus got up
and went into Harry\'s room to try and play
mediator even if he did hate the insufferable boy.  He was at
least relieved to see the boy eating even if it wasn\'t the best thing
in the world for him to eat.

Harry sighed
as he heard his door open.  Shoving the last
bite of ice cream into his mouth he turned to see who the invader was
and rolled his eyes as he saw it was Snape, the bastard.

\"What?\" 
Harry said accusingly.  \"You saw I ate, so
there is no use coming in here yelling at me for not when you saw I
was.  I eat; I just can\'t stomach eating in front of you
two.\" 
Then Harry broke into tears, \"damn hormones, I hate this.  I hate
this situation.  I hate you; I hate Draco.\"  Harry finally
threw
himself unto his pillow and cried his heart out yet again.

\"Mr. Potter,
you will cease and desist with the dramatics this
instant.  This situation isn\'t favorable to be sure, but there is
no reason why you shouldn\'t try to get along with at least Draco. 
You
are, after all, carrying his spawn.\" Severus didn\'t even bother to try
and hide his disgust of the whole situation.

\"You
timotimonious bastard!  How dare you; do you have any idea
how hard this is on me?  Or even Draco?  Do you have any idea
how hard a male pregnancy is?  Don\'t you dare tell me to quit with
the dramatics; I\'ll be as dramatic as I want to be you fucking
prick.\" 

Harry\'s quick
change in demeanor sent Snape for a loop. 
Harry took a deep breath before he continued.  \"And this baby
isn\'t
spawn unless the one Draco is carrying is the same thing to, you which
wouldn\'t really surprise me.  You are, after all, the king of the
bastards.\"  Harry proceeded to flop himself on his bed and onto
his side, whenever he laid down on his belly now it felt too weird, it
felt as if there was a bubble in his gut.

\"How dare
you!  I take you into my quarters and you dare
speak to me in such a way?\"  Snape was deadly quiet when he spoke.

\"How dare
I?  Like I asked for this?  I have more
than enough money to care for MY child, thank you.  Besides why
were you having sex with someone when you are old enough to be his
father?  Disgusting.  Now get out; I don\'t want to be here
but Dumbledore won\'t let me go anywhere else.  He\'s locked me out
of the
Gryffindor common room.\" 

Snape could
tell Harry was just barely holding back his tears
yet again, so he decided to leave it alone for now.  When he
entered
the sitting room he noticed Draco curled up on the sofa crying. 
Rolling his eyes he asked what the problem was this time, only to be
told off yet again by his husband.  Severus decided he\'d had
enough for the night and retired to bed.

The following
weeks were not better for Severus, Harry and
Draco were both still at odds with each other and then finally Severus
had
had enough and made to put a stop in it.

\"Will you two
just talk to each other?  I realize neither
of you are impecunious, but yet you still had to be conscripted into
this situation with each other and with myself, but that is no premise
to act as though this is the end of the world. Mr. Potter, both you and
I saw something in Draco.  And Draco, you saw something in both
myself and
Mr. Potter.  Why is it so toilsome for the two of you to try and
get
along?\"  Severus sounded defeated; it had been a very long three
weeks since that they had been hand fasted to Draco.  A VERY long
three weeks.

\"I just can\'t
stand that the one I have to be with is in fact
also with someone twice his age, carrying his baby, and the fact that
said person has made it a point to show how much he\'s hated me since
day one!\" 

Harry ranted
before suddenly his eyes went wide.  Then, just as
quickly, he doubled over screaming in obvious pain beforllinlling over
onto the floor.  Whatever Draco was about to say died on his lips
as he ran over to Harry, as did Severus as well.  He may not like
the boy, but no one deserved to be in that kind of pain.

\"I\'m sorry,
Harry, please forgive me; I\'ve been a prat.  I didn\'t
mean it, please be better, please,\" Draco mumbled as he held
Harry\'s head in his lap.  Severus laid a hand on Harry\'s abdomen
which Harry instinctively curled around; Severus went to the fireplace
and fire called Poppy who immediately came to check out Harry. 
Poppy and Severus managed to get Harry into his bed where Draco sat on
the opposite side of Poppy holding Harry\'s hand while Poppy checked him
out.  Harry whimpered almost the entire time in discomfort.

Poppy sighed
when she finished her exam. \"Harry\'s going to have
to stay on bed rest for most of his pregnancy from here on out. 
He
can\'t be made upset either; that\'s what set this off to begin
with.  Draco, I need you to take it easy as well.  I\'d
suggest you
either move into this room or put a door between your room and
Harry\'s.  Severus, you\goingoing to have to help Harry as well as
Draco.\"  The medi-witch then placed  a charm on Harry that
let her know if there were any more problems immediately. 

Severus
silently fumed for a few minutes before he settled his
resolve to care for the two pregnant young men he had in his care
now.  This also meant he\'d have to put in a leave of absence from
teaching.  Severus left a sleeping Harry and a somewhat more calm
Draco and went to the headmaster\'s office to tender his request which
was immediately accepted.  Albus also went so far as to assign
Dobby the house elf to assist as well.

The days then
began to pass extremely quickly after that and
they all actually grew closer together.  Draco and Harry had
worked out there problems and Harry and Severus were at least
tolerating each other for Draco\'s sake.  Draco had been hit with
the
worst mood swings since Harry\'s stress attack.

Months later
Harry was sitting in bed, Draco was sound asleep
curled up against him and Severus was sitting in the room reading
quietly.

\"Severus?\" 
Harry said quietly as to not wake Draco; he\'d
not been sleeping well recently and he was very crabby when he hadn\'t
had enough sleep.  Severus looked up when he\'d heard Harry call
his name and raised a questioning eyebrow at the young man.

\"I\'m sorry
about how I acted when we first had to wed Draco; it
was insensitive and uncalled for.\"  Harry heaved a great sigh
before continuing.  \"It\'s just that, well, I thought you hated me
because of how you treated me; I never really stepped back enough to
look and see that there might be other reasons.  I know in fourth
year I discovered you were a spy for Dumbledore, but I still thought
that your hatred of me was real.  I\'m sorry.\"

Severus
actually smiled at Harry.  Harry had learned a lot
about the potions master over the last five months; he\'d learnt that
Severus had never hated him, maybe not liked him much, but didn\'t hate
him.  He\'d just used the hatred of the father to play the role of
the
\"faithful\" Death Eater when he needed it.  Severus had finally
admitted that Harry was much more like his friend, Lily, than he was
like
his enemy, James.

\"I understand,
Harry, and I accept your apology as well,\" 
Severus said with honest flooding his voice.  Harry smiled
brilliantly at the older man.

\"Can we sort
of start again then?  Start anew, try and
make this thing work between the three of us?  It would make
things better for yourself, Draco and me.  I think it would
anyway,\"  Harry said relieved that he was brave enough to ask that
question.

\"Of course we
can Harry, we can start over again and make it
better and maybe even have healthy, happy children.\"  Severus
smiled at the thought.  He\'d grown rather attached to the idea of
having
children; he was even considering quitting teaching.  Between the
three
men they had well more than enough money to raise the children and none
of them would ever have to work.  And Snape Manor was e and and
had very
heavy wards on it, so they would be safe.  It was something to
consider
anyway, or at least take time off enough to where the kids were in
Hogwarts.

Harry smiled
at the older man slid down and snuggled up to
Draco and promptly fell asleep.  Severus thought that the two
young men looked very good together.  Severus began to feel tired
himself and went to lay down on the other side of Harry so that Harry
was sandwiched between the two Slytherins.  No one saw the only
blonde smile widely; no one knew he\'d heard the whole thing.  They
could be a happy family now; he found that he actually did love both of
them.
