CHAPTER 9

Tears streamed down Lucius' face as he looked down at his son. He had just gave birth and Harry was nowhere to be found.

"What do you want to name him?" Severus asked and Lucius shook his head.

"I don't know." Lucius murmured, wiping his tears off and Tom let out an annoyed sigh.

"Alpha doesn't deserve to name him." Tom grumbled and moved towards the foot of the bed.

"A small fight does not mean I deprive him of naming his son." Lucius said and softly rubbed the babies head.

"So is he not your son?" Severus drawled out.

"Have none of you read the Potter books?" Lucius snapped.

"Well I did not think it mattered." Tom said with a roll of his eyes.

"If you had read them then you would have known that the Alpha of the Potter bloodline is always the one to name the child." Lucius said and he could see the shadow of a body moving behind the door. He knew it was Harry.

Harry was afraid to be in the presence of Lucius after saying something like he had. Guilt was swarming him. He knew he should not have said that. He knew he should not have indicated to Lucius being a slut and it being the reason Draco will not have a father.

"You two should leave and send Alpha inside. I want to talk with him alone so don't try to eavesdrop." Lucius said and Harry stepped back from the door. Severus and Tom soon came out and left with a glare directed at him. Harry slowly entered the room and he couldn't hold himself any longer and started to try and explain himself.

"I am sorry. Please forgive me Lucius. I promise I meant nothing that I said." Harry jumbled out trying to get in his good books again.

"I know Alpha. I have forgiven you. But Alpha know this, that I loved him, I still do. I didn't just lay down and take it." Lucius said while looking down at his son. A pained look crossed Harry's face.

"I know Lucius. But it hurts. I know one day your lover man will appear and it terrifies me to think that maybe I will let you go, so you could be happy." Harry said, looking away from Lucius towards the wall.

"Is it wrong of me to love you both? Can someone only love one person?" Lucius asked as he looked up to Harry.

"No Lucius. One can love many at once. But it is wrong to hide the love. And you have never hid your love about him from me. Maybe when this lover man of yours appears, we can co-exist." Harry said and Lucius smiled.

Lucius moved his 6 month old son to his bassinet and looked over to the side of room towards Tom who looked half asleep with his daughter Delphini suckling on his chest. He was shirtless because he didn't like to raise his shirt to feed the 2 month old. He then looked to Severus who was frowning down at Lily Luna.

"She looks weird." Severus murmured.

"Severus!" Lucius exclaimed and then chuckled as he picked up the baby powder and placed it in its actual place.

"I don't know how you handle James and Draco." Tom said as he moved Delphini away from his chest and groaned when milk dribbled down his chest. He burped her and then placed her back in her crib.

"Draco is spending a lot of time with alpha these days. So it's not a lot of work. James is easy to work with. You are first time parents so it will be like this." Lucius said with a teasing smile.

"You work too, while parenting and we are not able to do anything." Severus said and sat down on his black rocking chair.

The nursery was extremely big and it all was in different colours too. Lily's side was dark coloured to match her papas style. Delphini' side was in green and a few dark artefacts were there that her papa had put there. While Lucius' was the most expensive and elegant looking side, the colours were a light tone and there was a few books and there was a name plate on the bassinet and the bassinet had a cloth covering.
