Overcoming

42

--Two months later--
--September--

Summer vacation came to an end and homeschooling started up again. The children (other then Navy) didn't want to go back to school and with Remus being a teacher (substitute) he could teach them. They would get a proper education and he felt better having the children home. He was still trying to convince Navy to stay home too, but she didn't like that idea, not one bit, so he would just have to make due with the three teenagers and his two months old son, who was about to not be the youngest in the home.

Hermione Granger, a girl of fifteen years old, was over due with her daughter, whom she named Rose. She was due a week ago, but the little girl just wasn't ready to join the world.
Harry and Draco helped her finish the half room, that they turned into a nursery for the little girl. Harry was excited to help out with Rose, and Draco was just happy Harry was happy, even if he still didn't talk.

Harry was fine, other then being mute. He was eating normally and seemed to be like his old self again, he just didn't want to talk, so they stopped pushing him to talk. It just wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth the risk of Harry loosing his happiness, and they were all currently learning sign language, so they could properly communicate with Harry.

The temperature was pretty warm, as the Autumn air had yet to kick in, so Hermione was a touch miserable. Luckily, the air conditioner wasn't broken, but it was still a large home to cool and she was long over being pregnant, so, she was moody at the breakfast table. "We can get set up in the living room for class. It's a touch cooler in there and the vent is close to the couch." Remus said. "How about making this baby come?" She fussed. "I can call your doctor, Hermione. See if she wants to induce you." Remus said. "If she didn't want to Yesterday, why would she today?" Hermione fussed, pushing her plate away. "Hermione, you really should eat." Siruis said. "I'm not hungry, thank you." Hermione said, and slowly got up form the table.

Harry was sent to join her, outside on the porch. Harry give her A sisterly kiss on the cheek and joined her on the swing. She let out a sigh. "I'm sorry I got so fussy." She said, but Harry just shrugged his shoulders. Harry understood what was causing her to be so fussy and held out his hand. She smiled and took his hand. She tested her head on his shoulder, feeling a bit better being outside in the air and around her best friend. Harry kept still and it allowed Hermione to fall asleep.
Draco went to find them a couple hours later. He lend down and placed a light kiss on his boyfriends kiss who smiled back at Draco. "Come on, it's time to start school." Draco said and he slowly nodded.

Once they got settled into the living room and started their school work, Remus went to put the baby back to sleep. He stood in the nursery of his two month old son, watching the baby sleep. Years of trying, finally played off. He was a father of two, his adopted son, Harry, and his biological son, Teddy. They were still currently step parents to Draco and Hermione, but they did have their own family and would certain never call him father, so he had two children, but loved four.
After watching Teddy sleep for a touch longer, he slowly shut the nursery door, finding Harry standing there. "I'm coming, son. Just got lost in a thought was all." Remus said softly, getting a side Harry. He smiled lightly and placed a kiss on Harry's head. "I love you son, come on, let's finish your school work." Remus said softly, getting a bit of a tighter hug, before Harry let go and they walked back into the living room.

After school was over, and Remus called a babysitter for Teddy, until his husband got of work, and took the teenagers to the hospital for Hermione's check up.
She and Harry watched the television in the hospital bed, and it was the first time in months Remus heard Harry's voice. It was only a small laugh, but it was still Harry's voice, and it meant everything to Remus. He still wished he knew how to better help his son to talk, but even just a laugh heard was a relief. He smiled at Harry who smiled back lightly before turning his attention back to the television. Draco reading a book, a book that was meant for somebody a touch older and a romantic book. "You might like my bookshelf." Remus said to Draco who paused in reading and after a pause, picked up the book and Remus seen the cover. "Siruis...said it was okay if i...borrowed a book." Draco said, a touch shyly and Remus smiled. "It's fine, I promise. You're welcomed to any book you like, Lincoln also reminded me of your hours. I promise to get them finished shortly." Remus said. "It's not...that important, really." Draco said. "It's an important milestone for any teenager, I just forget you're older then Harry so it often slips my mind about it." Remus said. "really...it's okay." Draco said, before turing his attention back towards his book.

The doctor agreed it was time and went ahead and induce Hermione. So, after work, Siruis picked the boys up and Remus kept with Hermione as the hours past by, before it was time for a little girl to join the world. A very healthy newborn girl, Rose Granger.
