*************

When they got together, they said it was inevitable. When they got married, they said it was meant to be, like a fairy tale with its happily ever after. They said they compliment each other, that they are each other’s half. They are perfect together, there is nothing more they can ask for, and they had everything.

“Harry, I want a divorce,” Draco spat plainly.

“Draco love, do you think you are being funny?” Harry asked while grinning at his husband.

“Do I look like I’m being funny?”

“No…no it’s just that… what’s wrong, Draco?” Harry stammered not knowing what exactly to say.

“…”

“Draco, love, look at me. Can’t we talk about it?” Harry brought Draco’s face to his hands.

“Harry, you would not understand me.”

“Don’t you love me anymore?”

“Harry, love doesn’t have anything to do with this.”

“Love, we haven’t even celebrated our first anniversary yet.”

“Merlin Harry! I’m asking for a divorce and you are worrying about because we haven’t celebrated our first anniversary yet!” Draco glowered said loosing his patience.

“Draco, you know that’s not what I meant. You said it doesn’t have to do with love, but you are asking for a divorce, Draco, a divorce!” Harry said in near tears.

“I just don’t know how to say this…”

“Just spill it out.” Harry tried his best to put venom in his voice but failed.

“Harry, I want my old life back, parties, old friends…”

“But I never stopped you seeing you old friends, and sometimes you go to parties without me which I fully understand. Draco, is there somebody else?”

“No, there’s no one. It\'s just it has been different when we got married and I miss everything. Is it that hard to understand?”

“Yes, it is. After all that we have been thru, we’ve never gave up, now that we’re married something both of us wanted and needed and out of the blue you would ask for a divorce, just because you want your old life back.”

“Harry, just give me that damned divorce!”

“No!”

“Fine!”

“Fine!”

Draco left Harry crying without looking back. Harry knew that Draco was serious in getting that divorce, and Draco being a Malfoy, Harry feared that he might use his money and pull some strings for the divorce. True enough a month later, he had received the divorce papers, he was blankly staring at them when Hermione arrived.

“Hi, Harry. Where’s Draco?” she greeted merrily.

“He left.”

“Oh, what time will he be coming back, I need him to sign some papers at the office.”

“He left me, Mione.” Shoving her the papers.

“What happened Harry?”

“Honestly, I don’t really know. I don’t know what happened to him.”

“What are your plans, Harry?” Hermione stood up and gave her friend a hug.

“I don’t know yet what, but definitely I would be returning him this.”

When Hermione left, Harry sent back the papers. No, he would not give Draco a divorce that easily, he will give a fight for this and he began thinking of ways keeping Draco. The moment he opened his eyes the next day a wicked smile curved his lips, and his first stop for his plan was Dr. Neville Longbottom at St. Mungo’s.

“Hi Neville!”

“Hello Harry, just give me a sec and I’ll be right to you.”

“No prob, take your time.”

“Hey, Harry come to my office.”

“Nev, I’ll be straight to the point I want you to help me.”

“About what?” Neville inquired as he opened the door of his office. As he closed the door, Harry narrated what he wanted to do and what to happen.

“You what!”

“Yes, Nev. I need your help very badly.”

“You know very well that this is a very complicated procedure. We might not have the desired results in a short span of time.”

“I’m willing to take a risk, Nev. And besides I don’t really have much time left.”

“What’s the hurry?”

“I’m sorry I can’t tell you, but you will know though in time.”

“Okay, next week you have to return here. We have to wait for two months to recondition you and one month the most for the results.”

“Thanks Nev, you are angel’s sent to me.”

“Hey, not yet. You have three months to know if I am really angel’s sent.”

“Bye, see you in a week.”

“Okay. Bye.”

********

Another month had passed, he received the divorce papers again which he returned back. He felt really bad on Draco’s intent for divorce that he decided to go to Ron and Hermione’s, but stopping by first to their favorite coffee shop. Whenever he went to this shop it has been his habit to look for their regular place first, and there he saw Draco with somebody else whose back was on him. He could not really decipher what the bloke looked like but his color was between being pale and tan, his hair color was brown, definitely somebody in between him and Draco. He saw how happy they looked like the other guy even wiped clean Draco’s lips and gave him a pat on the cheek. Feeling bad on just what he saw instead of visiting his friends he just went straight home sulking.

And so two months had passed; he visited Neville for further instructions and looking forward for the realization of his plans.

“So, Harry the potions that you took are really strong ones, so I expect an instant result on it.”

“Thanks Nev. You just don’t know how much I need this one.”

Back at his place, he called Hermione that he would take again a week off from the office, being an owner really had its reward. And he started organizing a party immediately for the night to come from the smallest detail up to the complicated ones. He made a list whom to invite and already came up for a reason if in case somebody asked what’s the party for. And of course the love of his life, would never be left behind, Draco had to come and he just definitely knew who to talk to, to make Draco come, alone or with that bloke he didn’t care as long as Draco would come, if the bloke tagged along he would just deal it with later.

“Hermione, I’m having an impromptu party tonight, since it’s weekend tomorrow I hope you could come.”

“Harry, what’s the party for? Draco changed his mind?”

“No, it’s just that I want to lighten up, you know...”

“Harry Potter-Malfoy, you know very well I don’t buy that, but since you are my friend okay we are going.”

“You are definitely a goddess, Herm. I love you, I really do!” Harry exclaimed

“Okay what’s the catch?” Hermione in her know-it-all voice.

“Can you convince Draco to come?” Harry said in a tone that was almost a whisper.

“Oh…you mean this party is really for Draco, huh?” she said in her teasing tone.

“Well, not really though. It’s for everybody who would come.”

“Okay, I’ll try.”

“Thanks, I really needed that.”

Afterwards he went up to his room to freshen up. The party was timed at around 8 but it could start much later, depending on what time his entire guest particularly his beautiful blond guest would arrive. He once did a run over on the foods, drinks, available music and much more, but most of the entire very important thing for this party he smiled as he tapped his pocket. True enough the party started late but his entire guests arrived in one time save for Draco.

“Hi Harry!” Ginny was the first to greet with her fiancé Neville, whom he patted the shoulder.

“Nice to see you Ginny. You look absolutely beautiful!” Harry greeted her back.

“So Harry, what’s this party for?” Pansy asked as she tugged on Blaise.

“Just for a little get together, it has been a long time since we last did this.”

“Nice of you to think of it, Har.” Blaise winked at him.

“Harry, we brought some pumpkin pie from mom.” Ron said as he take the pie from Hermione.

“Fred, George, Goyle and Crabbe with Millicent will be a little late, but they will come too.” Hermione added, noticing the sad look on Harry’s face, a look that waited for news about Draco.

The party had taken its own lnow,now, and still there was no Draco. Harry gave a heavy sigh and nudged at Hermione to follow him at the kitchen. Then they excused themselves.

“Where is he?” Harry asked a little annoyed.

“He said he would come, Harry.” Hermione who did her best to give a comforting smile.

Before Harry could react more, his friends began clapping and teasing with a newly arrived guest, as they checked who it was it was Draco, with his friend whom he recognized from the coffee shop. Hermione pressed Harry’s hand and left to join the others. Harry breathed deeply and counted to five, fixed a very relaxed smile on his face and went out to greet Draco and his guest.

“Draco.” Harry gave out his hand and smiled oh so sweetly. Every one was silent, eyeing every move that Harry and Draco made, since they have known about the divorce thing.

“Harry. This is Xander.” Harry acknowledged him but only gave him a nod.

“Hello, Xander and you are?” Harry inquired.

“I’m… ah…” Xander stammered.

“My boyfriend, Harry,” Draco said without even looking at Harry and giving Xander a comforting smile, which just made Harry want to kick the bloke out of his property, well his and Draco’s property.

“Oh...” was Harry’s only reply.

“Why the party Harry?” Draco asked.

“My life has been very terrible lately as you know, so I believe I deserve something to keep me light and busy aside from work of course. I think I deserve that.” Harry spat is a very seductive voice, not minding that Draco came with a guest. And after giving him a smile left the two to mind other guests.

Little did everybody know that Harry wasn’t really enjoying, he was only spending his time eyeing the two. And he was really getting pissed off because he couldn’t find a way to get rid of Xander for the night. And little did he know, that his action was not left unobserved by Hermione. When Xander walked out, who was apparently talking to somebody on the phone, Draco went after him; with this Harry lost hope not thinking that Draco would come back again. After awhile Draco went in again, in a very disheveled manner, and a glint of mischievous smile played across Harry’s lips, thanking the fates for siding with him.

“So, where is your lover boy?” Harry said as he sat beside Draco.

“His mom called and wants him to come home rather vergentgent.”

“Why didn’t you come with him?”

“His family doesn’t know about me yet, he wants to wait till we get divorced before I could meet his family. And I don’t have anything to do, so won’t you mind if I stay?”

“No, this is still your house. Want something to drink aside from butter beer?”

“Yeah.”

“Then your wish is my command.” Harry whispered at Draco’s ears.

Harry went to the bar and fixed Draco his favorite hard drink, Scotch and for tonight it wouldn’t be just plain scotch as he added the potion to Draco’s drink. Which Hermione noticed, Harry was almost halfway towards Draco when Hermione, grabbed his arms to a far side corner.

“What are you doing, Harry?”

“Fixing my husband a drink?” Harry answered innocently.

“I saw what you just did, what are you going to do?”

“Herm, don’t worry I don’t have anything wicked in mind.” Harry kissed her forehead rather abruptly and left.

“Hey.” Harry greeted and gave Draco his drink.

“Hey.” Draco greeted back and drunk the scotch slightly wincing.

“So, what’s the name of your boyfriend again?”

“Xander. Let’s not talk about him.”

“How long have you been seeing him?”

“Three months.”

“That was quite fast.”

“He came at the right time Harry.”

“And I didn’t?” Harry asked showing that he was hurt.

“I don’t want to talk about this.”

“But I do.” Harry scooted near Draco, he had seen the effects of the potion, he knew it wn’t n’t be long enough. Harry’s patience was really tested; he waited till the potion slowly kicked in before he scooted some more near Draco caressing him. Draco being under the control of the potion didn’t even resisted Harry’s advances. Harry was slowly seducing Draco, touching him at the places that would make Draco squirm.

“Harry…please…no.” Draco begged.

“Just give in Draco, I know you love this, we love doing this.” Harry whispered in Draco’s ear while blowing into it lightly.

“Harry…”

And Draco gave in to the heat that was Harry.

Harry waited until the potion took full effect. When he knew it was time, he stroked Draco’s cheek with his finger, smiling when Draco turned to face him, mouth slightly open. He leaned in and lightly kissed Draco.

He stood, and taking Draco by the hand, led him away from the noise and the party and into their bedroom. He paused long enough to lock the door, then pressed himself against Draco, tangling his hands in that wonderful hair, drinking in his scent, his touch that he had missed so much.

Slowly they danced to their own music, bodies swaying and moving, pressing against each other. Harry guided Draco to the bed, pushing him down on it, and pulling his clothes off frantically. He quickly stripped himself, joining Draco on the bed.

Draco turned immediately for Harry, as a flower to the sun, and pulled him into a deep kiss as their bodies aligned perfectly. Harry traced abstract patterns on Draco’s back, dipping his hands down Draco’s cheeks. The pressure began to build, and Harry stilled their bodies, panting to regain control. For the potion to work, Draco had to be inside him, so he slipped down Draco’s body, taking him into his mouth.

He paused to once again immerse himself in Draco’s scent, his taste; everything that he missed about him. He ran his tongue up Draco’s length, teasing with his tongue, fondling Draco’s sac with his hand. Draco groaned and buried his hands in Harry’s black locks. Harry grinned and engulfed Draco, sucking. He relaxed the muscles at the back of his throat, deep throating Draco and letting Draco set the pace. When he felt Draco start to tense, he pulled back.

Having already planned for this, the lube was right at hand, and Harry handed it silently to Draco. Draco coated his fingers with the lube. He pushed Harry down on the bed, turning him so they were laying Harry’s back to Draco’s front. He prepared Harry, stretching him, and then swiftly entered him. To Harry this was heaven, this joining with his love, this perfect union that should be forever unending.

He moved with Draco, his leg hooked over Draco’s so that Draco hit his sweet spot with every stroke. Finally, he felt Draco tense again, and felt him explode inside him, and Harry cried out with him in sweet release.

Silent tears leaked down his cheeks as Draco withdrew, and still under the effects of the potion, slipped into unconsciousness.

Draco woke up with a searing headache, and when he turned to his side he felt a ward body beside him, and kissed its shoulders. As he gently kissed it, he suddenly felt different, that scent, he knew that scent, it was Harry. And immediately he tried to remember what happened, he got drunk and he slept, he slept with Harry, immediately he bolted up right looking at none other than Harry, who was awake now and smiling at him.

“Good morning, love.” Harry said as he reached up to kiss Draco who stood up immediately.

“What happened Harry?”

“We made love, don’t you remember?”

“No!”

“Yes.” Harry calmly said.

“This can’t be. Xander…” Draco was now frantically rummaging at the pile of clothes and wearing his.

“It happened, love.”

“Well, it was a mistake. I have a boyfriend Harry.”

“And I am your husband, Draco. Still your husband.” Harry said in gritted teeth.

“No, I want a divorce Harry! I want to marry Xander!”

“You want to marry him, you have just met him, what for three months!”

“Like I told you he came at the right time, and I don’t care if we’ve been together for only three months. This, this mistake, accident or whatever that happened to us, won’t stop me from marrying him! And sign those papers, they were sent to you for you to sign it, not to return it to me blank!!” Draco shouted.

“I really intend to return it to you blank, for you to get the picture!” Harry shouted.

“JUST SIGN THOSE DAMNED PAPERS!” Draco bellowed and left Harry teary eyed again.

Harry stayed lying on the bed a couple of hours more, before refreshing himself. He had a busy day today, and his first stop, St. Mungo’s.

“Hi, Nev!” Harry greeted.

“Hi, Harry. Great party, but where were you?”

“Got caught up, you know.”

“Oh, okay.”

“I’m here for che check up.”

“Just lie there.” And Neville went thru the test procedures.

“When would I know the results?”

“A month is the longest. Depends.”

“You know very well, that I desperately need this.”

“But it’s not my call you know. Even though if I have given you the strongest potions, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be Harry.” Neville said as he held on to Harry.

“I can’t accept that logic right now, Nev. I’m sorry.”

“I’ll owl you, once I got the results.”

“Thanks.”

********

Harry left St. Mungo’s with hope in his heart and when he arrived home, Hermione was waiting for him.

“Hello Harry, where have you been?” she inquired.

“Just for a walk…” Harry lied.

“Ohh, just a walk?” Hermione pried.

“Yes. What are you doing here, don’t we have work?”

“Good question Harry, but unfortunately it’s Sunday.”

“Oh, yeah.”

“You slept with him?” Direct. Blunt.

“So?”

“He already has a boyfriend, Harry.”

“Well I’ll be very glad to inform you that I am his husband, so I can sleep with him whenever I like.”

“But things are different now Harry. Are you up to something, Harry?”

“I just want him back…is it too much to ask?”

“No, it is not. But don’t do something foolish that you will just regret in the end.”

“No, I won’t Hermione. Thanks.” Harry went to his friend and held her for support.

“Okay, Harry I’ve got to go Ron doesn’t know that I went here. Harry, I love you, you know that right? That\'s why I really hate seeing you like this, but please don’t do anything stupid.” She kissed his cheeks and vanished with a “pop”.

In just three weeks Harry received an owl from St. Mungo’s he did not waste any time and went directly to Neville’s office.

“Nev!” Harry shouted from the other end of the hall.

“Harry, wait for me at the office.” Harry waited for a few minutes when Neville arrived with papers in hand, which he gave to Harry with a questioning look.

“Just read it first Harry.”

“No!”

“I’m sorry Harry it didn’t worked. You didn’t got pregnant.” Neville sas hes he gave Harry a small smile.

“Neville, all that I have hope for and planned…” Harry said while sobbing.

“Just like what I have said, maybe this is not meant to be. There are reasons why things happen and why they don’t, maybe it’s time to move on.”

“I can’t Nev. I can’t just surrender like that. I will find a way, you’ll see I will.” Harry said in between tears.

Defeated but not surrendering he left St. Mungo’s. For about a week Harry spent all of his time researching every article for male pregnancy, until he found it in big bold red letters “ARTIFICIAL CONCEIVING PROCEDURE” he didn’t have to think twice, if he wouldn’t get pregnant in the natural way with Draco, and then this would be his answer. Yes, he was in no way would be sleeping with other men, Draco was the only one for him, so this was his only way, and in no time he was again knocking at Dr. Longbottom’s door.

“What!!” Neville asked shocked.

“Yes, I want this too.”

“Listen, Harry, I know what you are planning to do, and it is not right. It was wrong of me to help you in the first place with that fertility potion, and there would be no second time. I’m sorry Harry.”

“Listen Nev, you don’t understand. I know in the future you would want to settle down and marry Ginny, what if she asked you for a divorce, would you just give it to her without a fight? I know you won’t, because you love her, and same with me, I love Draco so much, Nev, he is everything to me, he is my life and I would do everything, anything to have him back. If I have to resonto nto deceiving him then I would, just to have him, I would risk everything even my own life for him. Neville, this is so important to me, to us.” Harry covered his face on his palms and wept.

“I don’t know, Harry. It’s just this is complicated too, there is no guarantee that you could conceive at once, though since you are still fertile because of the potion…”

“Are you trying to tell me, that you would help me?” Hope was slowly rising from Harry’s chest in anticipation.

“Okay, I know a lab where we could find semen, it’s called Lab C. We just need to sign some papers and of course this things are not for free, you really have to pay, as in PAY for it.”

“Neville, in times like this, money is no issue to me.”

“Since you are still fertile, we could start with the procedure in two weeks, we still need to check you. Once it was administered another two weeks for the results.”

“Thank you Neville, you just don’t know how much this means to me.” Harry gave his friend a big emotional hug before waving goodbye.

Harry did as Neville told him, and for two weeks he was in complete bed rest, Harry being a very active person, really controlled himself, always thinking about Draco. And day he had nervously waited came, gently he knocked at Neville\'s office.

“Neville.” Harry said tensed.

“You can be relieved now, Congratulations Harry, you are pregnant!”

After a while of few more tests, and some more advises for a pregnant male.

“So Harry, I will be expecting you for your monthly check up. Don’t forget.”

“No I won’t.”

After a couple more thank you’s from Harry, he left went straight to Hermione and Ron’s place, he couldn’t keep this a secret being pregnant, but how he got pregnant that was a different case.

“Hermione, Ron.” He called from the kitchen.

“Harry, is that you?” Hermione asked.

“Hey, mate.” Ron greeted.

“Ron where are you going?”

“Got to go to Romania, mate, for the ministry.”

“Why the trunks? Are you going to be gone for awhile, how about you Herms, are you coming with him?”

“No, Harry. Besides he can apparate here, anytime he wants.” Giving Ron a warm smile.

“So, I’ve got to go. Hermione, owl me okay.” Giving Hermione a quick kiss before he left with a pop.

“You will let him go to Romania, and you won’t even follow?”

“Harry, sometimes even married couples need time alone and space. Besides he is going away for work, it is something that he really have a choice.”

“I really am at awe at you.”

“Okay enough of me, why are you here Harry Potter?”

“I’m pregnant.”

“Okay, say that again I think I didn’t heard you the first time.”

“You heard me right, I am pregnant.”

“With whom?”

“Who else, Draco. If ever I will be pregnant Herm, it would only be of Draco’s.”

“The party?”

“Yeah.” Harry lied.

“Did you already tell him?”

“Not yet, but I will.”

“Are you ready for his reaction?”

“I am ready for only one reaction, that is he being happy and coming back to me.”

“Oh Harry, I am happy for you, but please don’t use the baby.”

“Actually Herm, I dropped by to ask you to go shopping with me.” Harry looked hopeful.

“Of course Harry, Ohhh I love shopping.” Hermione said gleefully forgetting for a moment about the pregnant Harry.

“Shall we go now?”

“Yeah, I’ll just get my scarf.”

After a full round at all the boutiques, which they magically shrunk to fit in the purse of Hermione, they decided to get a cup of coffee for Hermione and fresh fruit juice for Harry. They went to Harry and Draco’s usual place, they where almost inside when they spotted Draco, alone, Harry gave an eye on Hermione and she gently pressed his hand and left.

Harry nervously sat in front of Draco.

“Draco, are you alone?”

“For a couple of minutes more I am.” Draco answered while checking the time.

“I need to tell you something…” Harry said while playing with his shirt under the table.

“If you will say that you are sorry, okay you are forgiven, provided that you will sign the papers. If you have nothing else to tell me, you can leave because I am expecting company, actually my boyfriend, Xander I suppose you still remember him.”

“Yes, I do. Draco, I’m pregnant.”

“What!” Draco said half shouted, still controlling his voice.

“I’m pregnant.”

“How…how did it happen? Shite! The party!?”

“Well, yeah.” Harry whispered.

“You planned this all along did you? So that I would get back to you, right Harry?” Draco said in gritted teeth still controlling his temper.

“No, Draco I didn’t planned this to get you back.” Harry said almost crying now.

“Why did you sleep with me, Harry? You know I have a boyfriend.”

“Don’t talk as if it was only me who did it, we did it, together we made love. And I am still your husband.”

“Harry, be thankful Xander is meeting me here, or else I would have brought you somewhere and Merlin knows what I could have done to you! And besides how could I be sure that I am the father? And how did you got pregnant?”

“Draco, unlike you I had no other man in my life. And I have been taking fertility potion when we got together. You know how much I wanted a family. I took it in secret because I wanted to surprise you on our anniversary. It\'s just I was the one surprised when you asked for a divorce, and the night that we slept together I didn’t know that I was still fertile and capable to be pregnant.”

“Harry, I don’t know. I think I love Xander now, and I want to marry him, so I want that divorce very badly. So I am expecting you to sign it and get it over with, it was sent to you for you to sign not to return it to me blank.”

“I thought you\'re brilliant enough to get the message. Draco, I am pregnant, you are the father, and Draco love happy anniversary.” Harry smiled though he was really feeling like hell and walked away, leaving Draco speechless and countless thought running in his mind on what just had happened.

*******

Three months had passed and thrice have Harry returned the divorce papers to Draco. He was scanning the kitchen when he noticed that he should get some groceries and headed to the nearest one.

He was trying to reach for the cereals, when Draco saw him. He was dumb struck to what he saw, Harry with a ballooned tummy his left hand holding the base of his tummy while reaching a box of cereal. Draco felt a tug in his heart when he stared at Harry’s tummy, a connection between him and the unborn baby happened. He felt his blood rush all over his body and he felt an uncertain amount of joy flooded thru him. This was when he decided to get close to Harry.

“Let me help you.”

“Thanks.” Thankfully Harry turned to look at the people who just help him, only to find a smiling Draco, who was looking directly at his tummy. Immediately he shielded his tummy with his both hands from Draco’s prying eyes.

“How…how…”

“Three months, since I am male that’s why it is this big.” Harry said turning around to do more groceries. But he felt Draco slowly following him.

“Harry…can I…can I help you?”

“I’ve done countless shopping before without you, and what makes you think that I need your help now?” Harry said, as he turned around Draco is still looking at his tummy, with this Harry tried not to smile, exactly the reaction he wanted to see from Draco.

“It\'s just maybe you need help right now.” Draco almost whispered.

“Okay.” Harry’s only answer, Draco grinned at him, and took the groceries from Harry.

“Harry, are you going home?”

“Why?”

“Can I come with you?”

“I don’t have a spare room you know, the guest room is now the nursery.”

“No, I just want to come with you, you know talk.”

“Okay.”

When they arrived home, Harry immediately sat on the couch and brought his feet up. Draco sat beside him, and gently massaged Harry’s soaring feet, staring at Harry’s belly.

“Why are you always staring at my belly as if there is a head popping out?” Harry asked annoyed at Draco.

“Is he…mine?”

“As far as I am concerned, I believe I have said that to you before, but you didn’t believed me. So tell me why should I answer you now?”

“Harry, you see I have a boyfriend now, and I have to tell him about this. And before I could tell him I’ve got to be sure. I’m risking something here in telling him, I don’t want to say something and regret it because it is not true…I hope you get what I mean.”

“Yah, I get it. This is yours, Draco. There has been no one else but you.” Harry said and looked intently at Draco’s eyes.

“You want something to drink?” Draco got up and headed for the kitchen.

“Yes please. Juice for me.”

After a while Draco brought a tray with fresh juice and sandwiches, when Hermione arrived.

“Draco?”

“Oh, hi Herm.” Draco gave her a nod and turned to Harry.

“Come Hermione, join us.”

“I think I better get going, I have some errand to do. Nice to see you Herm, Harry you take care okay.” With that Draco left.

“What was that?”

“We met at the supermarket, and he invited himself here then he prepared some snacks and you came.” Harry accounted.

“Why was he here?”

“I think he wants to spend some time with me, you know to really know if he is the father.”

“Is he?”

“Draco. Is. The. Father.” Harry stressed.

“Okay. Anyway I came over to give you this, it seems that because you are always returning the papers, now he sent it thru the office.” Hermione handing Harry the papers.

“Give it to me.” Harry hands out for the paper.

“Are you sending it back again?”

“No not yet, I want to read it actually.”

“Okay, whatever. I better go back, so rest and take care okay. Bye.”

“Herm, if you want can you sleep over?”

“I have something else doing tonight, but once I am free I would really sleep over.”

“Okay. Bye.”

Draco had been Harry’s constant companion throughout the pregnancy period, wherever he went Draco saw to it that he tagged along, every check up, exercise and shopping, this made Harry very happy and he would always look forward on Draco’s company. And Harry felt that maybe, Draco was doing this to win him back, and he was just waiting for Draco to say that he would move in again and that he was sorry. All this time Harry forgot that Draco had sent him the divorce papers and he didn’t sent it back.

One day Draco chanced upon Harry at their terrace, his hand gently circling his belly and humming a tune, Draco was so touched with what he saw, and the connection that he felt when he first saw Harry suddenly tugged him again. Until he realized that maybe this was something that he was looking for, a family to care and to love. He wasn’t looking for someone else, and he thought of Xander, he felt guilty feeling like this, especially he had already proposed to him, but the feeling was so powerful, that it brought him so much joy.

“Draco?” Draco startled from his reveries, finding himself already beside Harry, and he sat down beside him, and stared again at Harry’s belly.

“Harry can I touch our baby?” Draco said smiling.

“Yes, of course.” Harry took Draco’s hand and brought it on his belly.

“Can you feel him?”

“Yeah, and it’s wonderful, to feel that someone is inside you. I feel so complete and at peace.”

“I do too.”

“…” Harry looked at him quizzically.

“When I first saw you with this ballooned belly, I felt something in me that said this is mine, and I felt immense joy and love.”

“I’m glad that you do.”

They stared for a moment and Draco brought his lips down to kiss Harry’s belly and sang a few notes before he kissed the belly again.

“I love you baby.” Draco whispered and sang again a lullaby.

Harry felt a mix of pain and joy with what he just heard; Draco said he loved the baby in him and not him. He felt that if ever Draco would come back it was because of the baby and not him, and it would still be possible that Draco would want divorce. He touched Draco’s face and find him teary eyed.

“You love our baby?”

“I do.”

“How about me?”

“Harry…”

“Shhh, you don’t have to answer. I understand. I better get in it’s getting cold now and I better prepare my things for the delivery.”

“I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Harry just gave a nod and went inside. As he prepared for the things he would need he saw the papers on his dressing table, he sat down and took the papers out and stared blankly at it and cried.

**********

At the hospital Harry was accompanied by Hermione and Draco, the Weasleys would be coming after a while. They were informed that since this was only the seventh month of Harry, the baby still had to stay at the hospital for another month before the baby could go home.

“Harry, you will make it, be strong okay?”

“Thanks, Herm. Now I will be needing you to sleep over, I will need lots of help.” Harry said.

“I would like to sleep over too, you know for the baby, since Xander is still not coming for a month or so.”

‘Thanks, Draco.” Hermione answered for Harry.

“This is my baby too, Herm.”

“Yeah I know.” Hermione said while smiling at Draco.

“Harry, you and the baby will be okay. Neville will take good care of you or else he won’t be able to get of this hospital alive.”

“Stop threatening me Draco. Okay you two the waiting area is at the hall at the left, now go.” Neville said as he closed the door of the room.

A few hours later, Neville went out and said that Harry had a healthy baby boy, which they could now see at the nursery, Harry was alright but he would be asleep a couple hours more to gain strength. Hermione and Draco went directly to the nursery and found the cute bundle of joy, a baby boy with pale skin and blond hair, Draco couldn’t help not to cry, to see his flesh and blood.

“He is mine.”

“Draco?” Hermione asked.

“He is mine, I just could feel it, even when he was not yet born I could feel his heartbeat, and now that I could see him and soon I could hold him, the feeling is so intense. He is definitely mine. He is a Malfoy.” Draco said in between tears.

“He is a Malfoy, but he will not carry the Malfoy name Draco. He is a Potter.” Hermione said silently.

“No, he will carry the Malfoy name, I love him and I love Harry, this is too good for me to just let this pass. I have made a mistake and I will straighten in, I will.”

“Thank you Draco for waking up.” Hermione said as she looked back at the baby.

“No, we should thank Harry and our baby, for waking me up.” Draco stressed.

When the Weasley clan arrived minus Ron who owled that he wouldn’t be able to come, Draco left Hermione to visit the Harry who is still sleeping.

“Harry, thank you. I love you. I love you both. I will fix everything, you’ll see. I’ll come back.” Draco bent down to kiss Harry full on the lips and Harry stirred awake.

“Draco?”

“I love you Harry.”

“I love you, too Draco.” And they kissed passionately.

“I’ll just take care of something and I’ll be back, I promise I will be back.” Draco said as he give Harry hurried kisses.

“Don’t worry just take your time, we will be just right here.” Harry said as he settled on his bed more comfortably.

Draco left the room, as Neville went it surprised to see Harry awake.

“How are you feeling?”

“A little bit groggy but hey, I am okay, I have my husband back and we have a baby. There’s nothing more I could ask.” Harry exclaimed.

“Okay, I have something to ask you.”

“Sure.”

“Can you please sign this papers from Lab C, you forgot to sign this.”

“Neville, the procedure is perfect and see I already gave birth, what’s this for?”

“This one protects me to be inquired about the artificial conceiving procedure that I just did with you. You know SOP.”

“Okay, give it to me. And Nev, you will be the godfather okay.”

“Does Draco know about this?”

Before Harry could answer an angry drawl came from behind.

“Unfortunately Dr. Longbottom, Harry never said anything about this.”

“Draco?” Neville said as he turn around to look at him.

“Neville, can you leave us for a moment?”

“Harry, Draco,” Neville said before he left.

“Please tell me that what I just heard isn’t true.” Draco said with hope in his voice.

“Let me explain…” But Draco cut him off by raising his hand.

“The answer is just yes or no, Harry.” Draco said without even looking at Harry.

“Yes.” A whisper.

“Why Harry? Why did you lead me to believe that he is my son, why did you deceived me?”

“Because I love you so much, and I don’t want to loose you.”

“And do you think that with this, THIS, that you have just done, would win me back to you?” Draco tried very hard to control his anger towards Harry.

“I’m sorry Draco, please understand me. I am a person deeply in love with his husband. I would do anything just to have you back, and I would never forgive myself if I haven’t done all possible things just to keep you. I love you so much Draco.”

“You know very well that I am marrying Xander, what were you thinking?”

“I am still your husband Draco!” Harry exclaimed.

“After what you just did you still call your self my husband. You know that I almost called off my marriage with Xander, for you and the baby, but I think luck was on my side because Xander was not here; otherwise I may have done a decision that I would regret. I want you to sign the divorce papers, I think now because of you deceiving me there is enough reason for that.” After that Draco left Harry crying without looking back.

“I’m sorry, what have I done?” Harry silently blamed himself.

At the other far end of the hallway, Draco went to the nursery. Yes, now he knew that the baby he was looking at was not his, yet the warmth it had given him had not diminished and he felt so whole and loved, but still he may be pale and blond but not his. He dearly loved this baby, but he was too much in pain with what Harry did, and hate ruled over love.

Hermione was there when Harry was cleared to go home, he still hadn’t seen his baby, since the day he was born.

“Harry aren’t you going to visit your baby first before we go home?”

“No,” was his simple reply.

“Harry, your baby is so adorable, those who have seen it even without knowing that you bore that child say so. I know when you see him you will feel different.”

“I can’t Herm, it only reminds me of what I did to Draco. It would only remind me that if Draco came back to me it was because of the baby not because of me.”

“Harry, your baby is not a competition on Draco’s attention.”

“I know. I will get over this, but I just can’t look at him right now.”

“Okay, let’s go home now. But I how you would change your mind at least before we leave the hospital.”

Harry only smiled. After a month he received an owl from the hospital that the baby could be brought home. Harry was slowly walked towards the nursery, he was informed that the baby was still there, he left Hermione to deal with all the papers. As he stepped in front of the glass he closed his eyes and breathed before slowly opening his eyes again. There in front of him was a healthy baby boy, with pale skin, blond hair and silver-blue eyes, he couldn’t help but cry, because he looked like a baby version of Draco minus the smirk.

“Harry?” Hermione asked concerned with her friend’s condition.

“He looks like Draco, every bit of him.” Harry whispered.

“Yeah, I know. Harry there are still things I have to attend before we can go, do you think you are fine or you want to come with me?”

“No, I want to stay here and look at my baby.”

“Okay.”

Harry looked at his baby again, and he felt warmth coursing all over his body, warmth of love and longing, and Harry smiled.

“I’m sorry if I didn’t visited you sooner. I was wrong you are so beautiful like your daddy Draco, though he is not your real daddy. I love you my baby, I love you so much my own. Thank you for coming to my life and healing me. In a few minutes we will go home.” Harry whispered to his baby.

“Harry, it’s time.” Hermione said smiling widely as a nurse took the baby from the nursery and gave it to Harry, who took it quite nervously and they all laughed, and for the first time after giving birth, Harry felt so happy and alive.

**************

Draco came from the hospital to visit the baby secretly, which he had been doing from quite sometime now, but unfortunately Harry already took the baby home a few days before. He was feeling gloomy when he went home, and found Xander on the couch waiting for him.

“Xander?”

“You visited the baby again?” Xander said without emotions on his voice.

“How…how did you know?”

“I have arrived a few weeks before I would like to surprise you but you look so alone and lost so I decided not to show first and check for myself why such mood, I followed you up to the hospital only to find a baby Potter in the nursery.”

“He is not mine, Xander.”

“Did I asked you if he is yours?”

“Xander, I missed you so much. I really do.” Draco sobbed on Xander’s arms, he had so many questions in his mind for the blonde but right now, he wanted Draco to feel good, so he took him into his arms and brushed his blond locks with his fingers.

Draco fell asleep in Xanders arms. He was awaken by soft kisses placed on his head.

“Xander?”

“We really need to talk Draco.” Xander pulled Draco away from him and sat comfortably.

Without any more questions, Draco told Xander what just happened, and after he said everything, he looked into his lover’s eyes, as if looking for answers.

“Did you wished that the baby could have been yours?”

“Yes, almost.”

“What changed your mind?”

“When I learned that Harry deceived me.”

“Do you still love him?”

“No. I – I don’t really know.”

“I will answer for you, you still love him. You are very much in love with him, that’s why I was wondering why you left him.”

“…” Draco was left speechless with what he was hearing from Xander.

“What did you feel for the baby?”

“I love him, it felt that he was mine. But he wasn’t.”

“Draco, honey, you love them both. You are just fighting it, why is it because of me. I love you Draco, but I am not selfish. I don’t want to see you miserable, it is not me who you need, and it is not me who could really make you happy. It is Harry and his baby. And does it really matter if the baby is not yours? Harry became pregnant not because he slept with somebody else, he became pregnant because he loves you, won\'t that be enough? Draco, don’t make me a reason for not coming back to them, because I’m not, and was never a reason.” Xander smiat hat him and embraced him.

“He deceived me.”

“Draco, would you let hate control love? Because I won’t, go back to them. They need you as you need them.”

“What about you?”

“Draco, I am a grown man, I know my way around. And besides I’ll be going back to Romania, maybe staying there for good, so you see the two of us is not meant to be, but the three of you is destiny.”

“Thank you Xander, I love you. I really do, never think that I just used you, because I didn’t.” Dracos said as he kissed now his ex-lover goodbye.

“I know Draco, I love you too, and that’s why I am doing this.” He kissed him goodbye and was gone with a *pop*.

*************

A week later Harry was cleaning his things, when he chanced upon the divorce papers that he wasn’t able to send back, as he stared at it and looked at his baby, he took a pen, signed it and sent it directly to the ministry. Afterwards he took his baby into his arms, danced him and sang a lullaby. This was the exact scene that Draco saw when he visited Harry.

“I have just signed the papers, and I have sent it already.” Harry said without turning his back on Draco.

“I just came to visit.”

“There is no one to visit here anymore, Draco,” Harry said as he continue to sing for the baby.

“I’m sorry, Harry.”

“You may go now Draco, and congratulations on your wedding, I believe I cannot come on that day.”

“Harry, please look at me.” Draco pleaded coming nearer to Harry.

“Don’t come near me.”

“Harry, I just can’t help myself not to come close to you, I missed you and the baby, our baby.” Draco said now merely one step away from Harry.

“My baby Draco, have you forgotten that I only deceived you and made you to believe that this is yours.” Harry tried to move away when Draco held his arm.

“I was wrong, please believe me that I really missed you. I love you, I love you both.”

“Your realization came too late.”

“Not, not late Harry, it\'s just hate got over me. When I first saw you in the supermarket, there’s this indescribable emotion, warmth and love that connected me with the baby in your tummy, and it heightened when he was born.”

“But still you left us.”

“Please understand that I was hurt with what I just learned then, it hurt me to know that he was not mine, after believing that he is.” With this Draco lifted Harry’s cheek to bring him to look at him to find tearstains on his face.

“Drac don don’t know.”

“I want this, I need this.”

“Which one?”

“Our family.”

“No, mine. This is my family now, we are already divorced.”

“Harry, if I have to court you, if I have to ask you to marry me again, I would. I would do anything to win my family back.” With this he brought Harry closer to him but carefully not to press the baby and kissed him with all that he is. And Harry smiled.

“Here take him.” Harry gave Draco the baby, and the blonde kissed him.

“Do you have name for our baby?” Draco gave Harry a look not to tell again that the baby was his only, because this time it didn’t matter anymore.

“Yeah.” Harry smiled as he held on the tiny hand of his baby.

“What?”

“Henry Michaels.” Harry said looking at Draco in the eye.

“Why?”

“You, OUR baby was taken from Lab C, and his tube was labeled HM.” Harry explained while playing with the baby feet.

“Lab C, HM?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Can we meet Neville, now?”

“I suppose, since I have to go there today for check up.”

It only took them a few minutes before knocking at Neville’s office.

“Oh, Harry. Draco?”

“Yeah.” Harry said smiling.

“Uhm, Neville can somebody do the check up on our baby, I desperately need to talk to you?”

“Yeah, sure.” Harry was left alone with a medi-wizard assistant still summing up what just happened.

Harry waited till Draco placed their baby on his crib before he embraced him from the back. Still amazed on how happy Draco looked, because the smile from the hospital hadn’t disappeared yet from his face.

“What was that?”

“What?”

“That smile for, and the talk with Neville.”

“He is my baby.” Draco said grinning widely.

“WHAT?”

“You see when I realized that I was gay, I felt bad that I might not have a baby, well those times male pregnancy isn’t practiced yet, and I don’t see myself having sex with a girl. So I did the unthinkable, for the sole reason of just incase I wanted a baby, since I had my semen preserved for future use of course. But when male pregnancy was introduced I donated it, because who wouldn’t want a very beautiful lineage, hmmm? But only to find out that it will be anonymously given except of course of the tag which when place in the tube.”

“Can I ask you something?”

“There are more questions left?”

“Yeah, who gave the tag?”

“Me.”

“Why, HM? It doesn’t make sense.”

“HM, for Harry Malfoy.”

“You mean?”

“Yes, I have loved you ever since.”

“Oh, Draco. I am so sorry for everything. I love you so much.” Harry grabbed him for a very passionate hug and kissed him full on the lips.

“I love you, Harry. Will you marry me…again?”

“I think there is no need for that.”

“Hermione!” The two boys exclaimed.

“Wow, am I watching a soap opera here?”

“How long have you been standing there?” They both asked at the same time.

“Long enough to hear that you love each other, and for you Draco to ask Harry to marry you.” She said with an obvious attempt to hide a smile.

“What were you saying before?”

“Oh, that\'s not for me to explain.” She called a shorter witch to go in and introduced herself, Draco recognizing her as the person who was in charge for their divorce.

“Oh, no.” Harry said as he held on to Draco.

“I remember you Mr. Draco Potter-Malfoy, to be very insistent on me to do all that I can so that you would have the divorce done and settled with.”

“Yes, I have changed my mind actually. But it doesn’t matter, though because I am asking Harry to marry me again.” Draco said nervously.

“Since when have you changed your mind?” The short witch asked looking annoyed.

“About a couple of months ago.” Draco said looking at Harry.

“Have you ever thought of that you really never wanted this divorce?”

“Not actually, not after my wake up call from my ex and from my family.”

“You never really wanthe dhe divorce, Draco, because you didn’t sign the papers, which as far as I am concerned you should be the first one to sign these because you are the one filing for it.” The witch said this time smiling.

“You mean I am still married to Harry?”

“If these papers could speak, they would say YES!” Hermione intervened as she escorted the witch outside.

Harry took Draco’s hand and looked at him, they couldn’t help but laugh on what had just happened to them. And yes, they lived happily ever after atlast.
