Recovery

chapter 24

The next nearly three months went back faster then Draco or those children would have thought. That makes it July 3rd, but they wasn't expecting Harry home for another 11 days. It was also summer, so the children were no longer in school or having lessons by Narcissa so Harry was a little confused when he came home to an empty house or so he thought. Harry wondered the house that smells like light cleaning, but also seen all the fourth of July decorations laying out in the living room. Harry's foot steps brought Narcissa down the stairs. "Harry! Your home." Narcissa said, and Harry got this big hug. "And somebody is pregnant." Harry said and she smiled lightly. "My husband has his ways, I haven't yet went to get the ultrasound." Narcissa said and Harry smiled lightly. "Because he thinks you'll do better having another son but he kind of wants a daughter." Harry said, and she gave a funny look? "How in Earth do you know what Lucius is thinking?" She asked. "Micheal of course. His letters were pages long and he tells me everything he could possibly overhear." Harry said, and she gave a light smile. "Micheal will be very excited your home, but er...Can you handle the fire works tomorrow?" She asked. "I'll have to get back to you on that.  Are the babies here?" Harry asked. "They are napping." She said, and Harry made the walk to their bedroom.

The two now seven month old babies laid asleep in their own cribs, in the middle of the day for their naps. Narcissa wasn't at all sure how long Harry stood there, as she was in the middle of something before she heard the movement downstairs. So, she had went off to finish whatever it was and came back to Harry still standing in the nursery. She smiled and turned on the light. "It's been long enough. Wake your babies. They will be very excited to see you." Narcissa said, starting to hear the little Noises form Ruth has the light was waking her up. Harry gave a small nod, before he walking over to the crib. Ruth caught the strong smell of the water and quickly opened her eyes.

"My babies have gotten so big." Harry said, now standing holding those two very active seven month old twins who were both messing around with his dog tags. "They missed you just as much, they just couldn't Express it the same way." She smiled. "Where's Draco and the kids?" Harry asked. "The twins are out with Lucius. Willow wanted a new dress and Micheal agreed to try and find a new hat so he didn't have to wait so long to join us. Draco went back to work shortly after you left, I'm sure he told you?" Narcissa asked. "He did, but I felt as if he didn't share just how much he was working." Harry said. "More then I'd like, because some of the customers." Narcissa admitted. "Yeah, Sirius wanted me to try and convince him to cut back...but I didn't want to effect him anymore then he already was. Trust me, I know how difficult this is already." Harry said and she smiled lightly. "He understands, very well, Harry." Narcissa said. "It seems that way right now, I am unsure if the feeling will stay the same over the years." Harry said, giving both his babies a light kiss on their cheeks and putting them back in their cribs. "I think he will, Harry. He loves you, very much." Narcissa said and Harry smiled lightly. "I want to believe that, I really do...But I know what this kind of life style does to somebody." Harry said. "Understood. However, I think you should go surprise Draco." She smiled and so did he.

Harry stood at the bar, watching the busy bar. It was the day before one of the most drunken holidays in town and a lot of people needed to practice, it seemed. Oh, and there was a band about to start playing. So, even thought Draco had came to the bar a few times for the orders Harry never once caught his eye. Harry was thinking about the best way to surprise Draco.
"It might embarrass him, but I have an idea." Sirius said, throwing an arm around his shoulder. "No, I don't want you to call him up on stage. He already has troubles out of people here as is it." Harry said and with a sigh. "Alright. I'll send him in the back then?" Sirius said. "Sure!" Harry replied, before he made his way to the back room, that a lot of the cases of beer were kept before they were sent to the bar.

Harry stood behind the door, that kept him hidden when Draco pushed it opened with the paper in his hand to find some case of beer that wasn't even there. "Is that blue high lights in your hair?" Harry asked, a bit shocked. Draco had not say a thing about getting highlights put in his hair. Draco quickly turned around, before just ignoring the question and Harry got grabbed onto very tightly. Harry just smiled and locked his arms around the smaller frame boys body. "Mom hasn't took the hint yet." Draco said somewhat muffled. "It's a boy?" Harry said. "Yeah. Dad was rather pleased, but a little disappointed at once." Draco said and Harry chuckled. "They could always have another soon after?" Harry said and Draco laughed. "I think that would be pushing it a bit, don't you think?" Draco asked, getting a kiss They both had waited nearly three months for this. "It just depends on how this delivery goes and what the doctor says." Harry replied, getting held onto tightly. "I missed you, so much." Draco said. "I missed you to, Draco. Where's the kids at?" Harry asked. "With my father. Will sirius's let me go?" Draco asked. "I'm sure he will." Harry replied.
