Harry never got the chance to get an answer to the question he wanted to know. Harry's phone went off, and he had to leave, then. Micheal wasn't a very happy boy, but understood why his pappy had to go, but never imagined it would be so long. A year. They had nearly daily phone calls, and weekly letters, but it wasn't the same without Harry their beside them.

Thomas had his son, four weeks early on March 3rd, at 36 weeks along. The delivery wasn't easy, but everything Thomas went through, made it worth it. When he held his little boy in his arms. Through everything, he was a very healthy boy, who was now a ten month old, almost walking very active boy. He got the red hair of Thomas but a little darker skin.
Jasper was learning a lot, but confused. He was taking in to much information, so they had to slow down. He really didn't like to watch much TV and wasn't the biggest fan of many noises, and spent a lot of time outside, and James and him went hunting a lot. James was also helping out with the bar, and slowly starting to answer questions. Once the weather was cleared, they went back to the island, and found Lily, and they gave her a proper burial, something James nor Jasper was ready for, but something that has to be down.
Ruth and Danny were two year olds. Very active and different toddlers. you would never know their were twins.
Narcissa son was a year old, a very bubbly boy who, unlike Thomas's son, wasn't walking, but still like to get into everything.
Micheal and Willow are nine years old, they were both in dancing and loving every minute of it. Micheal? With a lot of shampoo has been able to keep it growing and was longer then ever. It made him happy.

Draco was sitting outside, it had been a year to the day Harry was called out, and not just him, Ron and many others had been gone the last year. Hermione and their now two and half years old daughter came through the gate. Draco smiled lightly as Rose climbed on his lap. "Hey, you didn't have to come over." Draco said, but Hermione sat down beside Draco. "I know how your feeling, I do. How's the kids?" Hermione asked. "Well...Mum is a little worried, Dean isn't working yet, but I'm not to worried. He's a happy boy. Jonathan has out paste him." Draco said. "I wouldn't worry, babies grow at their own pace, and both boys are happy. Though, Jonathan is quiet tall isn't he, for just ten months old?" Hermione asked. "He is a tall, but healthy boy." Draco smiled lightly and they sat talking for a little while, before Hermione took her sleepy toddler back home.

Draco heard the tiny knock on the class and turned. Jonathan stood at the glass door. He was out of a shower and in his jammies but he wanted outside, his 'daddys' Thomas and Jasper, Jasper was taking good care of him. Draco smiled lightly and opened the door slowly and picked him up. "Why don't you keep me company in checking the mail?" Draco asked but Jonathan wiggled down. He wanted to walked. Draco held his hand as they walked to the gate and past the gate. Jonathan, who was trying to talk but never anything audible it was very incoherent, who doing that baby talk as Draco thumbs throw the mail. He was growing worried. it been over a week since he talked to Harry and nearly a month since the last letter came. He had no answers for the kids, because he didn't know either. Jonathan got really excited, and pulled on Draco's pants. Draco patted his head but seen he was pointing at something.

Draco dropped the mail in his hands and took off running. Harry locked his arms around Draco tightly as Jonathan got to excited and fell to his knees, but just kept crawling over to them Draco, crying lightly and gave Harry a big kiss. "Now that can't be little bitty Jonathan?" Harry chuckle but lean down and pick him up. "He is a tall boy, isn't he?" Draco still half cried. "Thomas gave us a scare, but he is happy and him and Jasper are doing well. Jasper is even teaching a bow an arrow class. It's small, only like five people, because he does get over overwhelmed, he is on some anxiety medication, but is enjoying himself, very much." Draco said as Johnathan yawn and reached for Draco. Draco took his head. "I'm gathering the children. Yes, Christopher and Christina are staying with us." Draco said.

Harry carried the sleepy tall ten month old boy inside and through the house. He could hear Draco gathering everybody, but Jonathan was a sleepy boy and getting a little fussy. He found the nursery, the home of the four younger kids. Jonathan, Dean, Ruth and Danny. Harry only seen the one crib, and three cribs. "Are you already in a big boy bed?" Harry smiled and he pointed to the bed by the crib. Harry smiled lightly and laid him down. He yawned as Harry tucked the blanket around him and pulled up the little bar that would help keep him form falling out if he rolled over. He was asleep very quickly and Harry turned the light off.
The hugs and mix conversations didn't stop until it was nearly midnight. The kids didn't care about a sleepy day at school, they were just happy Harry was home. Ruth was yawning though, the toddler was sleepy and was half nuzzled to Harry. Micheal held tightly to his arm and the other kids talking, and Jasper? He looked much more relaxed in the world that was still new to him, but things had gotten better for him. "There...is someplace I want to take you." Jasper whispered.
