Overcoming

47

A couple weeks went by and Harry yawned, waking up before the alarm went off that morning for school. Harry looked over at his sleeping partner, Draco. Draco often had to sleep on his back, to keep his leg the most comfortable. It was always going to be a struggle, his knee. It never heald probably and any attempts they done, didn't work and upset the eighteen year old. Draco was two years behind in school, for a lot of reasons, but the main reason was coming to bite him in the ass. He never thought the truth would come out, and for now, it kept hidden away, but Draco feared it wouldn't be for long. He was do for another physical, by the foster care system and he wasn't sure how much he could keep Sirius Black form finding out. For now, he choose not to think about it, but his partner, Harry, could see something kept on his mind.

Draco woke up to a light kiss on his cheek. He gave Harry a light smile, glancing over at the clock. "Couldn't sleep?" Draco asked and Harry shook his head. "Okay, start some pancakes, would you?" Draco asked getting a nod.
Draco made a slow walk down to the kitchen, to here the giggles form the toddlers, Rose and Teddy. Harry didn't want to be alone in the kitchen, so he woke the toddlers up, who now Ran around the kitchen, playing with some toys as Harry stood at the stove, making pancakes.
Harry felt the kiss to his neck and Draco locked his arms around Harry. He could tell Harry was having a bad day. Harry did smile lightly as Draco tucked his chin to Harry shoulder and put his lips closes to Harry's ear. "You are beautiful, my love. Please don't listen to those thoughts. I love you, so much." Draco said softly in his ear. Harry turned his head and placed a kiss on Draco's lips. "Love you." Harry said in more of a mumbled and nuzzled to his head, for a minute or two. Draco kissed his cheek, before easing to sit down at the table, putting his leg up on another chair. Rose, giggled and hurried her little legs over to Draco. Draco smiled big at the toddler as he picked her up and sat her down on his lap. Of course that made Teddy fussy and hurry over to Draco. Draco laughed, picking the toddler boy up and putting him beside Rose. The toddlers giggled and gave each other a big hug. "You two are spoiled rotten." Draco said, locking his arms around the baby's and gave them a big hug. The two relaxed against Draco, pushing their binky's back in their months until Harry got their breakfast ready. He put them in their high chairs and joined Draco at the table. A couple more whispers Draco did to Harry, made it possible for him to eat, slowly, but he did eat.

"I'm taking you to school, today." Remus said, coming down the stairs. "Were Siruis?" Draco asked, still working on his breakfast. "In bed. I'm sure he just picked up a bug, but he isn't feeling the best today. Lily and Lincoln are going to watch the toddlers so I can run you all to school." Remus said. Harry didn't like the sound of Sirius being in bed. He hurried up the stairs before another word could be said.
Siruis turned over in the bed when Harry gave him a shake. Siruis yawned. "Bud, I'll be fine." Siruis said, but Harry wiggled under the blankets. "Harry, I'll be alright. You can't worry so much." Siruis said, but welcomed the snuggle form him. Siruis locked his arm around his boy. "Harry, I'll back okay." Siruis said. "Doctor..." He mumbled and Siruis let out a sigh. "I'll call once they are open, alright? Just a bug." Siruis said, but Harry shook his head, getting a kiss to his forehead. "Rest until you must go." Siruis said.

Remus ended up waking up Harry who yawned. "Come on, time to get going." Remus said softly and Harry nodded as Harry got to his feet.

Remus took the children to school and hurried back home. He was greeted by the toddlers, who ran into his legs. Remus smiled and gave them both a hug, sending them on their way to play. He seen Sirius finally at the table, his phone in head. Lily, on the couch. He'd check on his husband in a moment, after his phonecall. He joined Lily on the couch. "Lincoln still in bed?" Remus asked. "Went back to bed. Pretty achy." Lily said, closing the book she held. "I called my doctor, when I seen Sirius, she'll see him today. Convince him to go." Lily said. "You understand if he isn't here when Harry gets back, the boy will flip out." Remus found. "If not caught early enough, Remus, it will kill him. I know nobody wants that. Trust me. It's something to do with his liver." Lily said and with a frowned, Remus agreed.

Harry didn't at all like the fact Sirius wasn't home when they got picked up form school. Remus couldn't tell the children anything more then they already knew, which made it worst for Harry's unstable mind. Harry couldn't concentrate on his homework any long and fussed at his boyfriend until Draco agreed to take him to the hospital were Sirius was.
The hospital wouldn't tell the minors, what was going on, they could only tell Siruis's husband. So, Draco called Remus and after a slight scolding, for driving without permission, Draco still had is basic driver license, Remus said he would be there as soon as he could get a sitter. Nobody was home to watch the toddlers right now.
Draco and Harry were forced to wait, Harry finally just screamed and got the attention of a nurse, who went to inform Siruis Black of his sons. Siruis said to have them sent back to him, now. She wanted to refuse, but the doctor just let out a sigh and Agreed to allowed the teenagers back there.
Harry claimed down a bet when he could wiggle in the bed beside Sirius, who just locked his arm around the boy. "Just relax Harry, I'll explain everything later." Siruis said, listening to his boy slowly start to fully claim down.
Harry didn't like not knowing, but Sirius wasn't ready to talk to the boys, not until he had the change to talk with his husband about what the doctors found out. Thankfully, Harry went to sleep and Remus sent Draco to grab something to eat. It would take a bit for Draco to make it to the cafeteria, something the men were thankful for. It gave them the change to talk about what the doctor had said.

Siruis didn't want to boys to know yet, and didn't want to talk more about what was going on, so Remus gave him a big kiss and took the boys home, but Harry? Wasn't having it. His anxiety was getting too high, higher then it had been in a very long time. Draco couldn't claim him down, the toddlers couldn't, Remus couldn't, nobody could. He finally sat on the couch, hugging his knees, but he had nails marks up and down his body, done himself. Remus sent the two teens upstairs, and sat with the toddlers on his lap, talking to Lily and Lincoln. Lincoln might of been hurting, but right now wasn't the time for that, when Siruis was in the hospital and it wasn't good news. Remus had asked them what they thought, rather or not he should go ahead and tell the children what was going on. Harry, likely wasn't going to claim down. Harry always had a big fear of loosing one of his fathers and it didn't help now that Sirius Black laid in the hospital and nobody would tell him a damn thing. Lincoln said yes. They were all three old enough to be told and Harry anxiety might get worst, but if they took the time to explain what the doctor said, and how positive they sounded, Harry would likely claim down. At least then he would have all the information and he wouldn't be in the dark. Lily wasn't sure. Lily, herself, didn't handle it very well, because Sirius meant a lot to her. Even more since they spent so much time taking care of her son. Remus understood her words, and gave her a big hug. After some more thought, Remus decided to tell them, after he put the toddlers to bed that night.

It did not make Harry feel any better, but he start to claim down some. Draco handed Harry some tea. Harry just held the cup, looking down into the tea. "Remus...and the doctors think he'll be alright, you have to trust that." Draco said softly and Harry shrugged his shoulders, getting a light kiss on the check. Harry slowly finished his tea, then looked at Draco who seemed uncomfortable. His leg was hurting, it had been a very long day. "Go...to bed...think...I'll be with...Moony, tonight." Harry mumbled. "Are you sure?" Draco asked and Harry nodded, watching Draco get slowly to his feet. Draco placed a light kiss on Harry's lips. "I love you, Harry." Draco said softly. "Love...you too." Harry replied back.

That night, Remus laid in the bed with both his sons, and Little Rose. The two toddlers wouldn't be without the other. The toddlers asleep on his left and Harry asleep on his right. The man was scared he'd lose his other half, but couldn't let it should. The children needed him, but he, himself, was slowly following apart too.
