Chapter Thirteen
Lucius fought not to smile as he came awake to the feeling of fingers combing through his hair in a very familiar way. He listened to the sound of his family chatting around him and was more than happy just the lie and soak up the feeling.
"What about this red?" Blaise suggested.
"Hmm no, too Gryffindor red, Lucius would burst a blood vessel," Harry said amused.
"Like he wouldn't pretend to like it for you," Victoria chortled.
"I know he would, but this is supposed to match us all. Draco what about that one by your foot?" Harry asked.
"I like this one," Draco agreed.
"That would be nice for the hallway don't you think?" Harry suggested.
"Oh that would be good!" The sound of shuffling reached Lucius' ears and Victoria hummed in agreement.
"What about this colour for the west wing hallway?" Alexander offered.
"Oh I like that!" Harry said excited. Lucius was jolted slightly by Harry's stomach as he leant forwards to take the colour Alexander was obviously holding out to him.
"I can't believe Lucius is finally redecorating this place, its been way too long in the coming," Darius chuckled.
"I could honestly kiss you Harry, Narcissa gone, he's finally redecorating this miserable place, not to mention gifting us with two new family members," Marcus laughed.
"I appreciate the sentiment, but no need to see Lucius hex you black and blue," Harry laughed as he went back to stroking his fingers through his hair.
"Malfoys are ridiculously jealous," Lucian snickered.
"Trust me it does not get any better with age," Victoria said in a conspiratorial tone.
"Excuse me?" Alexander demanded.
"You're excused," Victoria laughed. "Honestly they get more huffy with age as well," She mock whispered.
"I would much rather you did not put off Harry before I can even get him down the aisle," Lucius muttered making Harry jump before he laughed.
"Don't worry it will take a lot more than that to make me change my mind," Harry assured him, smiling down with a warm smile and glowing eyes when Lucius opened his eyes and looked up.
"My Merlin you two are sickening," Marcus huffed. Harry glared playfully sticking his tongue out at the other Malfoy brother while Lucius merely flipped him off. "You are spending way too much time around Harry," Marcus snickered.
"Hows the redecorating going?" Lucius asked linking their fingers together.
"We have made a good few choices while you nodded off," Harry teased.
"I was tired, you're comfortable,' Lucius shrugged before turning his head to place a kiss on Harry's bump. Harry grinned down at him going back to combing his fingers through Lucius' golden hair.
"Oh Darius! I like this for our nursery!" Lucian exclaimed holding up a paint colour in soft yellow.
"Oh I saw a border that would go lovely with that!" Harry hunted through the small pile of paper samples that were beside him until he pulled out a border sample.
"I like that," Darius nodded taking the sample from Harry. Lucius grinned as he looked around his family. Somehow they had all ended up sitting on the floor, surrounded by piles of paint and paper samples. He was lying with his head in Harry's lap, Draco was seated by his knees curled up against Blaise's side eagerly digging through the samples, Victoria was propped against Alexander's side with Gabriel sitting close to her, Darius and Lucian were sitting close to Harry, Lucian with his legs over Darius' legs. And right across from Lucius Marcus was sitting surrounded by the biggest pile of paper with a serious look on his face as he measured different colours against each other.
