Recovery

chapter 31

Two months. Two very long difficult months Harry spent in the hospital. His breathing went up and down, and his leg needed a second operation. Harry was very disappointed. It would be months before he could go back onto his ship, but his little boy, his almost eight year old Micheal. Loved every moment of it. Micheal hated, very much, that Harry got so hurt, but it meant Harry was staying, for a long time.
Today? Harry was home. Well, not quiet. He stood in a building in the heart of the base. It was a Monday morning, Narcissa's first day of homeschooling the primary school aged children in the base. It was a bigger turn out then expected. A lot of parents wanted to keep their children closer. Even knowing they would have a couple (Narcissa disagreeing. She wanted to help, and homeschooling these children was how) weeks off, when Narcissa had her baby. The 24 week old boy in her belly. She finally caught on to the Blue in her son's hair. She was having a little boy. The tables were full of children between five and eleven. Some were yawning, disappointed school was already starting back up again. Some enjoyed having Narcissa teach them. She was very friendly and the morning past by quickly. The class was dismissed, for lunch at least. An hour and half. The children, before the school year started. Agreed to a longer lunch and school ended at four, rather then three, so they could walk their way back to their houses and eat lunch with their family.
Even still in a cast on his leg, he held Narcissa eased back up out of the chair she dropped in, resting her feet for a long few minutes. "You don't have to stand there, all day you know. You JUST got out of the hospital." She was friendly, but worried. "Draco was just out me right back into the bed. I'm standing the most I can." She rolled her eyes, but smiled. "You'll be find resting. Micheal and Willow will come get you if I need you, go home. Your babies are waiting on you." Harry let out a sigh. "Oh, alright."

Harry made it as far as the couch in the living room, before he eased down. He removed the brace on his right wrist. He had a scar, were glass had cut him pretty deeply. His left arm out of the cast, but still wasn't moving the best. Walking on those crutches were difficult, that was for sure. Lucius spotted him. "I thought you were spending the day at the classroom?" Harry nodded. "That was the plan, but your pregnant wife is being all motherly and sent me home. Willow and Michel know to come get us." Lucius let out a sigh. "I worry." Harry nodded. "I understand. She'll be find. She is very much enjoying being a teacher. the parents were very thankful. Some children, and parents, aren't much for public schools." Lucius walked in, sitting in the chair. "Isn't Willow in dance though?" Harry nodded. "Draco will drive her, yes. They agreed to let her in dance, even if she isn't going to the school. They are very understanding." Lucius nodded and it was very quiet, for some time. "Draco...doesn't want to ask about your parents." Harry looked over at him, and let out a sigh. "I wasn't there...it happened a long time ago." Harry's voice was quiet, but Lucius raised an eyebrow. "You know though, you must." Harry gave a nod. "Doesn't mean, I wish to speak about it. Right now, my head is still fussy."

Lucius went back up the stairs, when Harry quiet replying to his questions. Draco came down the stairs, just a few minutes later. The now Nine month olds in his arms. Ruth reach out for Harry the second she seen him. Harry smiled and Draco lend down, and Harry took his little girl. Harry sat her down on his lap, before looking back up at Draco. Draco was relieved, having Harry home. Draco smiled and sat beside him on the couch, with Danny on his lap. The babies making their baby noises, as Draco turned to face Harry. "What did the doctor say before we took you home?" Harry lend over, giving Draco a light kiss. "My leg is starting to heal now. I go back in four weeks for a follow up on it. Two weeks for my lungs, but he isn't too worried about my lungs anymore." Draco nodded, giving his boy a pat on the head. "I...had the doctor give me the birth control shot." Draco said, kind of quiet. "Are you not wanting more children?" Harry wasn't upset, he wanted to understand were Draco's mind sat on more children. "I do...But right now? I don't want another pregnancy. I, was thinking...when the twins are a little older...maybe look into adoption?" Harry thought of a moment. "I never really thought about adoption. Seems a lot of things could go wrong." Draco nodded. "That is very true...But, I just feel as if that's our next step...Unless-" Harry cut him off, with a light kiss. "I'm sure, by then, the idea of adoption will be welcomed." Draco smiled lightly.

Harry fingers started to get sucked on, by Ruth, who looked up at him all wide eyed. "Do my fingers taste yummy?" Harry kind of chuckled and she giggled out. "How about some apple sauce!" Draco sounded very excited and Harry smiled. "Take them, I'll meet you in there."
