--Three years later--

Harry was running late and he hurried down the hallway. He heard the giggling and the fussing. His sister and Richard now lived with them, along since Holly. Holly was Richard and Lily's ten month old daughter. It was a surprise for sure as Lily was still on birth control, but for whatever reason it was meant to be. So, Richard and Harry added on to the house Harry build and they two couples lived together now, when they wasn't visiting their parents.
Harry now had ten siblings with number eleven on the way. His mom was 21 weeks pregnant, most likely her last as since week 17 she'd been on bed rest. She was almost 44 years old after all.
"Brother!" Lily called for form the kitchen as Harry turned the corner. "Pappy!" Giggled his now three year old twin boys who both grabbed his legs. "Good morning you two!" Harry said, lending down to kiss their messy black hair. "We have to go." Lily said, grabbing the bag. "Who's coming to get the kids then?" Harry asked, grabbing a bangle to eat. "Star is coming over to babysit today." Lily said. "I think not." Harry said, picking up Holly who was being a very fussy girl and grabbing her a bottle. "We don't have a choice." Richard said. "Zachary had an episode last night. Hit his head. Ma is still at the hospital with him." Draco said. "Can't pa just let Amanda  come watch them?" Harry said. "No. We need all the help at the store we can get and I know you know that, Harry. She's fourteen." Lily said, getting handed Holly who was happier now drinking her bottle. "Harry she's watched them overnight before." Draco pointed out, putting the leftovers away. "Yeah, overnight. The boys were asleep and Holly has been sleeping most of the night." Harry said. "Harry, we have to go." Richard said and Harry sighed. "We are taking the baby." Harry said. "No. She's excited to watch them. She's fourteen." Lily said, before the knock was heard. Lily put Holly back in the highchair and opened the door to get a big hug by her little sister, Star. "I still don't think this is a good idea." Harry said, but grabbed the keys to the van. "Brother. Who do you think is helping at home? Ma's in bed!" Star said. "Somebody is with you." Harry pointed out. "Brother." She fussed. "Call if anything happens." Harry said. "stary!" James giggled and she smiled picking him up. "Hi big boy! We are going to have so much fun today!" Star said, as the door shut behind them.

"You know, ma is-" Lily started in the van. "Just because you two married as soon as your got over the shock of your pregnancy doesn't me we have to." Harry said. "Brother it's been three year!" She pointed out. "Guys, it doesn't really matter. We are already a family." Draco said, taking Harry's free hand into his hand. "So leave it alone." Harry said, feeling the kiss on his cheek by Draco.

Back inside their house, Star had put Holly on the floor and she spent the day playing with her nephews and her niece, and had an early dinner cooking when the four of them came home form work. "Daddy! Pappy!" The twins called out as they ran over to their fathers. Each one taking a boy into their arms. "Hello!" Harry laughed, hugging Lucius back. Lily picked up her daughter who was in her jammies. She had been somewhat fuss today. "Star as she been fussing all day?" Lily asked, putting Holly on her hip. "On and off . She's teething. Mama said to give her Tylenol and her other teething ring is in the freezer. Dinners on the stove, but I gotta go." Star said, giving her brother and sister a kiss on the cheek and grabbed her things. "What are the doctors saying about ma?" Harry asked. "That she needs to keep in bed pretty much. Expect an early delivery and is very much pushing her to have a hospital birth." Star said. "Alright, be careful getting home!" Harry said watching her hurry out the door.

Harry shut the door to the boys bedroom and yawned. It had been a long day and he was ready for bed, but Draco sat up in the bed when Harry joined the bed. "I'm...sorry." Draco whispered. "What about?" Harry yawned. "I...asked you, three years ago today, to marry me and I keep pushing it off." Draco said, to get a kiss. "Love, it's okay. I promise. Ma is just laid up and has very little to do. She's overthinking." Harry said and Draco let out a sigh. "I know, but I feel a little bad." Draco whispered. "Really, I'm fine. I'm happy with how things are." Harry said. "Are...you sure about waiting longer to have a baby? I'm just...not ready." Draco whispered. "I am beside we are living with a baby. We could always nap her if We want." Harry chuckled, getting a big kiss. "I do want more children...I'm just...afaird all that's going to happen again and I...don't want that to happen." Draco admitted. "Well, there's always other options. Siruis and Remus I don't think can adopted anymore, maybe, they could inform us about it?" Harry said and Draco smiled. "I think that would be wonderful. However, are we old enough?" Draco asked. "I'm certain 21 is old enough, and we are 24." Harry said, placing a kiss on Draco's lips, who locked a hand in his hair and pulled Harry close to him. Harry chuckled and straddled Draco. "Hurry." Draco said, lending up to kiss Harry who was glad to claim Draco as his, again.
