Chapter 17
Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. Harry still hasn’t let Teddy far from him, now it being April and Teddy’s birthday was tomorrow he wanted to do something special and the little werewolf wanted to spend the night at his brother’s house. He wanted to be able let his son go but something inside him was fighting it.
It was a full moon tonight; Teddy was not himself. He normally can handle Teddy and how he gets but something is off today.
“Teddy can you please tell Daddy what I can do to help you today. You haven’t wanted to eat, you don’t want to go play outside, you don’t have to do school work today. What is wrong? Do you want to go lie down with me?” Harry stood in Teddy’s room where toys are thrown all over, comic books opened on his bed, and a growling almost 5-year-old standing in the middle.
“I want to go to Draco’s and Luna’s for my birthday! I want to play with Papa by myself! I want Mx. Crimson to bring over Emma and play with her by myself.” The older man took a breath and looked down at his son. He thought that he wouldn’t have noticed Harry being there all the time, he thought Teddy wouldn’t mind him being there. Maybe he does need space, and Harry should give him that.
“Teddy, I said that we would have to see about you staying with Draco and Luna on your birthday after your party.” The little werewolf cut him off.
“Draco and Luna already said that they want me to spend the night! Soon they can’t have me over because of the baby in Luna’s belly! I want to be able to spend time with my brother before he forgets me because of the new baby!” Baby in Luna’s belly? Luna wasn’t pregnant, was she?
Harry knelt down so he was eye to eye with Teddy, there were tears in the honey colored eyes.
“What do you mean pup? You said Luna doesn’t have a baby in her belly.” Teddy nodded his head urgently.
“Yeah Daddy she does I smell it... the baby and when I cuddle with Luna, I can hear it. Daddy please… No bad man is going to take me anymore. Draco will make sure he is tough like you and Papa. Please Daddy!” Teddy throws his arms around his neck and nuzzles into him. He had no doubt that Teddy could smell and hear Luna’s baby, but why wouldn’t they tell them? Harry couldn’t tell him no, maybe he should just give in and let him. It’s not worth him being this upset.
“Okay pup okay for your birthday you can spend the night at Draco and Luna’s and I will even let you play alone right now I think you might need some quiet time. I’m going to go talk with Papa okay. I love you Teddy.” He pressed a kiss into the purple hair.
“Love you Daddy.” With one last squeeze Harry walked away going to find his husband and then calling over to Draco’s and Luna’s.

Lucius was in his office replying to emails as he heard his husband walk in. He looked up at his husband and raised an eyebrow. He felt confusion in his chest only moments ago but he just thought it was because Teddy is having a rough day.
“What's wrong my Harry?” He opens his arms as the younger man walks up to him and sits in his lap.
“Well your youngest son hates me because I guess i’m smothering him, and your oldest son is keeping something from us.” Harry said as he cuddled in closer playing with the button’s on his shirt. He knew that Teddy was probably a little overwhelmed because Harry wouldn’t let him out of his sight. Which he understood but the little werewolf needed space but what is Draco hiding.
“Love, our youngest son doesn’t hate you, you just need to give him space. Are you letting him spend the night with Draco and Luna?” Harry just nods and Lucius continues. “Okay good that should help, and what about Draco? What is he hiding?” A spike of jealousy tightens in his chest, what is Harry jealous over Draco?
“Apparently Luna is pregnant, Teddy could smell it, and hear the baby’s heartbeat. I don’t doubt that he wouldn’t lie about it.” Pregnant? His Son is going to be a father? He was going to be a grandfather? Pride swelled in his chest. That didn’t answer though why Harry was jealous, unless.
“Well we will just have to floo them and ask them won’t we. I don’t like the fact that they are hiding it. Harry, my love. I felt your jealousy when you spoke about this. Are you jealous because Teddy knew before you, or... are you jealous because you want to have a baby?” Lucius hoped it was the latter. He knows that they haven’t been married that long but he wants to have a family with Harry. To have his husband, his soul mate round with his child. He had longed to have a big family; most pure bloods stop because they were never soulmates but he has his soulmate he wants to share his love.
Harry buried his head in Lucius' chest and mumbled. “I was jealous b..because I do want a family with you. I am not in the right space right now to think about having kids when I can’t let the one I have out of my sight but Lucius I do want to have a baby. I always thought because I didn’t find my soulmate, I would never have one of my own.” Lucius rocks side to side as he pulls his husband in closer.
“We will have a baby, maybe even two or three. You are right we should wait a little longer. We can start after Christmas. We would have been together a year then and I know that you will be ready by then. Now I do love you but I think that maybe we should call Draco and see what is going on. I need to know if I’m going to be a grandfather… that would make you one too, you do know that my Harry.” The younger man lifted his head with his eyebrow raised.
“I doubt Draco would want their child to call me Granda.” Lucius leaned down and pressed the softest kiss on his lips.
“I don’t know he seems to be coming around, and you can’t say that you don’t like spending time with him. You two have been getting along very nicely.” Helping his husband up, they both walked hand in hand to the floo passing Teddy’s room where the little werewolf was curled up on the bed.
“Thank gods, he was miserable. This full moon is going to be rough, but I will stand back and let him have fun with you.” They continued to walk until they got to the library. “I guess I do like Draco, and having a grandchild would be fun. We can spoil them.”
Lucius laughed and pressed a kiss into his hair. “Yes, we can spoil them until we have our own. Now let’s see if your youngest son is right.” The blond leaned down and floo his son.
“Draco, Luna?” He said leaning into the fireplace.
In the flames he saw his daughter-in-law. “Hello Lucius and Harry, I thought you would be calling. I’ll get Draco and we will come through.” They quickly stand as Draco and Luna move through.
“Is everything alright? We didn’t plan on seeing you until this weekend for Teddy’s birthday.” Draco said as he sat down on the couch pulling Lunas next to him. Lucius and Harry mirrored them.
“There is something I need to ask you, it was brought to my beautiful husband's attention from our younger son, your brother that you and Luna are expecting.” Luna’s eyes sparkled as Draco’s Malfoy mask dropped ever so lightly. So, it was true, he glazed over at Harry who was smirking. He still could feel a little of jealousy, but then he felt excitement.
“How did that little brat know?” Draco said with no bite. Luna places a hand on his knee smiling sweetly.
“Draco, he could smell it on me. Werewolves have very sensitive hearing and sense of smell. I bet he smelled it on me. Yes, Lucius you and Harry are going to be grandparents, our twins are due in December.” The witch said in her dream voice, TWIN!?
“TWINS!” Harry said, jumping up and pulling his daughter-in-law into a hug. “Luna, oh you are going to have twins! How do you know already? You are not that far along!” The younger man said breathlessly.
Lucius stands up and pulls his son into a hug, two grandchildren. There haven't been twins in the Malfoy bloodline in hundreds of years.
“We don’t know yet, that is just what she thinks. I know not to question my wife because she is always right.” Draco held on tight to him, and then he pulled away and then Harry pulled the younger blond into his arms. He listened carefully as he watched them as his daughter-in-law gave him a hug.
“Draco you are going to be a great father, I know we have a past but we are now family.” Harry said with tears in his eyes. Once again, the jealousy was back, mixed with longing and sadness.
“Thanks… P… Harry I hope that I’m as good as you. Teddy is lucky to have you, and my Father is happy for the first time. I don’t hate you Harry, and I'm glad that we are family.”
“I’m glad that they are finally the friends that I knew they would be. They are both stubborn and passionate. I see your family growing really soon, I want to say you will have a girl and then another boy and then.” Luna said looking up at him smiling, thinking for a few moments. “Then another girl. I know Harry can’t wait to have a big family.”
“You’re right Love, and I can’t wait to have a big family with him. So, three boys and two girls, and what about you? Are we going to have boys or girls?” Lucius didn’t mind, he would love a granddaughter. To think that he was told he was going to have a daughter shocked him. It’s been so long since Malfoy’s had girls 4 generations at least.
Luna shook her head. “There has to be some surprise Lucius. Draco doesn’t even know.” Lucius laughed and kissed her forehead.
“Okay my daughter-in-law let’s have you sit down and you two are staying for dinner. My beautiful husband would love to make dinner, wouldn’t you?” Harry raised his eyebrow and smirked.
“I think I can do that; I’m going to make us some tea and we can see what we would like to have for dinner.” Before his soul mate walks out of the room, he pulls him into his arms.
“I love you my Harry, and I promise soon you will be pregnant. Luna told me so.” The younger man smiled and pressed another kiss to his lips.
“I love you too.”

Teddy was sitting at the table with his family surrounding him with a huge Spider-Man cake in front of him. Daddy said it was chocolate. A blue number 5 candle sat right in the middle and it was sparkling. He knew that he had to make a wish. The werewolf looked around the table and saw Mx. Crimson and Emma, the best teacher ever and best friend! Then there was Draco and Luna, who he is going to spend the night with after presents. He was lucky to have such a good big brother.
What was best was his Daddy and Papa. Daddy was sad a lot before he found Papa, and even though he loved his Daddy they didn’t have a family. Daddy never really had a family before Teddy and then it was just them. When Papa came everything was better, he got a brother and a sister-in-law.
Teddy thought that their family was perfect even though something was missing. Papa didn’t like puppies, and Teddy didn’t want a kitty. There was something that he has always wanted besides a big brother.
“Okay Teddy, make a wish pup!” Daddy said with a smile holding a camera. Yep the werewolf knew exactly what to wish for.
Teddy took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated on his wish very hard. With one hard blow the candle goes out quickly. He opened his eyes and his Daddy took the cake to start cutting.
“So, Teddy what did you wish for?” Papa asked as he brushed his purple fringe out of his hair.
“Yeah Teddy what did you wish for?” Emma said with a toothless smile.
Teddy shrugged his shoulders and smirked. “I can’t tell you; it won’t come true!”
Luna leaned over and whispered in his ear. “It’s true you shouldn’t tell your wishes, but I know that your wish will come true.” Luna smiled and hugged him tight, she gave the best hugs. They told him that she really did have a baby in her belly, that he was going to an Uncle and he is really excited.
“Okay let’s eat cake and then we can open presents!” Daddy said, sending over the biggest piece of chocolate cake he has ever seen.
Even if his wish didn’t come true Teddy was completely happy about his first real family birthday. Daddy said that there were many, many, many, many, more to come. Teddy couldn’t wait.
