Chapter nine
Harry shifted where he was sitting on the side of his bed as he heard the fire flaring down the corridor. Lucius had gotten up early and flooed over to Zabini Manor to pick Draco and Blaise up, talk to Lady Zabini before having breakfast with them before they flooed back, which was apparently now.
Yesterday after they had sorted everything out Draco had stayed for an hour talking with his family, the air had been a little tense for a while but things had smoothed out, then he had gone back to Zabini manor after he had organised plans with Lucius. It was not long after he left that Harry realised exactly what had been organised. He was going to be living in Lucius's brother's home with him, Lucius, his lover's son and his lover's son's lover, who were both in his year and who had never gotten on with. Oh and he was twelve weeks pregnant with twins.
So now he was sitting in his bedroom alone, not really sure if he wanted to leave the room. He and Draco had sorted out the whole Harry/Lucius/Babies situation, and Draco was fairly sure that he wasn't doing this to use Lucius or hurt him. However that did not change the fact they had never gotten on, had a big history behind them and that they were now going to have to live with each other for Merlin knew how long. He hadn't felt alone or a little different from the rest of them in the last couple of weeks, but suddenly he realised he was alone in a house with three Malfoys, four Slytherins.
Rubbing his hand over his bump he sighed as he felt the reluctance in his chest at the thought of going out his bedroom any time soon. He actually felt a little sick with nerves, he really did not know how this was going to go. Smiling down at his stomach his thoughts turned instead to his babies, to his sons. His stomach was a nice sized little bump now, and according to his books the babies should now be around 4 to 5 inches though it said twins could be smaller, the twins were fully shaped now, little hands, feet, noses, eyes, and according to the books they would be starting to squint, yawn and grimace. They were becoming real live people that in a few months he would be able to hold in his arms.
This was something that made him smile and feel completely overwhelmed at the same time, all this was happening in his stomach, all this development happening and forming, his babies were becoming little people, becoming more and more real as the weeks, days, passed. It was still a little overwhelming at times but more and more he was falling in love with his babies and he was looking forward to meeting them. His mind strayed more to what they would look like, would they have his hair or Lucius's? Would they have his or Lucius's eyes, whose nose, chin, ears and smiles would they have?
"Harry?" Lucius's concerned voice had him looking up and putting a smile on his face as he tried to push his worry to the back of his mind. "What's wrong?" Well that worked well.
"Nothing, just thinking," Harry shook his head turning back to put the book he had been reading before getting lost in his thoughts at the sound of the floo back on his bedside table and wriggling a little so he could push himself to his feet, making his way over to the wardrobe to pick out a robe to wear. Marcus had ordered them in for him, maternity and that would be fitted to him when he lost his baby weight.
"Harry?" Lucius asked concerned wrapping his arms around Harry's waist.
"Don't worry about it, its nothing. Did you manage to floo everything over ok?" Harry tried to distract Lucius, he didn't want to bring down Lucius's happiness at having Draco here with silly worries.
"Harry, what is it?" Lucius turned him gently around but gripped his chin making him look at him. "I know something is bothering you, please tell me," Harry felt a flash of guilt go through him at the worry in Lucius's eyes, quickly weighing up whether to tell him or not.
"Its silly Lucius," he tried to put Lucius off shaking his head.
"Not is it bothering you," Lucius's Malfoy mind kicked in sensing the weakness in Harry's defences.
