--Four Days Later--
--December 3rd--
--Friday--

Harry was supposed to keep in bed a week, but after the third morning, he was feeling much like himself, so he climbed out of bed when the alarm went off that Friday morning. Harry walked over to the crib and lowered the bar to pick up their infant girl. Summer yawned, stretching her little body. Harry waited until she yawned and reached her arms out for him. He smiled and picked her up. She giggled at her pappy and Harry felt a kiss on his cheek. "You know you have three more days, right?" Draco said. "I'm feeling better. Pa won't let me work, so she says with me today." Harry said, shifting Summer to his hip. "Why are we going to meet at Remus?" Draco asked. "Betty turned eight. She's real excited." Harry said. "I can't believe I forgot!" Draco frown. "No worries. We are heading their this afternoon, once she is finished with school. PA is closing the shop early because of it." Harry pointed out. "Alright. Henry still hasn't felt good." Draco said. "I'll probably keep him then too." Harry said. "The doctor doesn't like you being around little man, if he has a temperature." Draco said. "He hasn't had a temperature, just not been feeling well. We will be just fine, love." Harry said, placing a light kiss on his lips. Draco smiled. "Alright, love. Jay should have breakfast by now going, eat?" Draco asked, grabbing his own clothes. "Maybe. I'll get missy ready." Harry said.

Draco turned into the kitchen after he got dressed for the day and woke the twins, who started to play once they got dressed. Draco raised an eyebrow at the woman standing there talking to Jeremiah, Ethan and Emma sitting at the table. Ethan was working on something in his notebook like always did, when he was uncomfortable. "Ethan, take your sister upstairs." Draco said, watching Ethan close his notebook. "She'll be mad." Ethan said softly. "Upstairs." Draco said. Ethan grabbed his little sister hand and disappeared upstairs. "Exactly, who are you?" Draco asked, crossing his arms. "I'm not sure how you managed to get them..." She said. "Because he left them to me, Sarah. How did you even find me?" Jeremiah said. "Does it matter?" She asked. "Yes, it does. You're in my house and those kids are terrified!" Draco said, getting turned to. "I wasn't talking to you." She said and Draco huffed out. "Your in my house, I haven't a clue who the fuck you are and those kids are terrified. Get. Out." Draco said. "You won't win, Sarah. You won't fight there lawyers and he'll come back form the dead, before he lets you near them." Jeremiah said.
Draco called for Harry when the contract of her hand, hit across his face Knocking the 18 year old off his feet.

Half an hour later, Draco handed Jeremiah an ice pack. "Who is she?" Draco asked. "One of my sisters....I guess...our Parents told them what the the situation was with Ethan and Emma, but she won't win. Even back then. She has to much of a history with things." Jeremiah said. "Siruis is going to get her handle, she won't be a problem anymore." Harry said shifting Summer to his left hip. She made a nose, before going back to her bottle. "She isn't always one to listen to the law." He tried to put out. "It's nothing they can't handle. I don't need her coming here, frightening the children or bitch slapping you." Harry said. "Okay, yeah. Thanks." Was his only response, before he went back to making the breakfast.
"Are you sure you can handle the little ones today?" Draco asked. "Yes, I am sure. You shouldn't worry so much." Harry said softly, lending over an placing a kiss on his lips. "I have to worry about you, Harry, don't you understand that by now?" Draco tested, getting a smile form Harry. "I love you too, Draco." Harry replied.

The household empty other then Harry, Henry and Summer. Henry was back asleep in the playpen and Summer sat on the playmat playing with some toys when the door was knocked on. Harry paused the television before getting up off the couch and pulled opened their front door. He got a big hug form his mum. "I take it, Draco asked you to check on us?" Harry asked. "He is worried like we all are, my boy." She said. "Alright. Come inside. It's far to cold to be outside." Harry said.

Summer was a giggly girl sitting on her grandma's lap as Harry brought in some tea form the kitchen. "Draco also told me, somebody hit Jeremiah?" Lily asked, frowning. "Yes. Sirius said he would handle it. I'm not sure exactly what all happened between Jeremiah and his family." Harry said. "He's just a kid, Harry." Lily said. "I know. Draco and I are talking to him, about adopting Ethan and Emma. He just...worries I suppose about what their father might think about it." Harry said. "The man wouldn't care, as long as his children are cared for. I know this and I think he does to, but he feel alone right now. I know he does and I haven't a clue on how to help him feel any better." She frowned. "We are all working together on trying to fix it, but we can only do so much. How is Betty? You call over there nearly daily don't you?" Harry asked. "I do my best to, yes. Betty is a very happy girl. She is very excited about little David. She is still in dance and she is very happy to see you all this afternoon." Lily pointed out and he smiled lightly. "We are happy to be seeing her. Henry still isn't feeling the best, but I hope some extra nap time, will aid." Harry said. "Still his ears?" She asked. "Yeah. The medicines are starting to help, but it could be a few more days before he gets better. He'll just stay with me. I'm over the bed ma." Harry said. "Son, I know you are annoyed at being in the bed, but it is what is best for you!" She tried to point out. "Ma." Harry fussed and she let out a sigh. "Very well, Harry. Well, I should get back. I have to get the children ready for the party." She said, getting to her feet. Harry was handed Summer, and she gave him another hug. "I love you." Lily said.

Everybody gathered back at the house a touch after noon, to finish getting ready to leave for Betty's birthday party. Even Jeremiah shown up, skipping the last class of his day. His nephew and niece wanted him to come and one day wouldn't hurt him. Emma locked her arms around his side, giving him a big hug when he came in the door. He smiled and gave her head a kiss. "I'm sure you have to finishing getting ready, Emma. Go." He said, sending her back on her way. He put his things for school up and got ready himself.

Remus and Sirius's house soon filled up with all the family and little Betty was the most excited. She hurried over to Harry and locked her arms around him. Harry smiled. "I missed you to." He said and she giggled. "Always miss you! Come!" She said, pulling Harry away form Draco and the kids. Harry was pulled to the bedroom she had. A small room, all for Betty. Harry smiled lightly and sat down on her bed as she opened something up. "You have to zip it." She said. "Okay." Harry replied back to the girl as she started to change her outfit, again. The dress was white and prom like, but she giggled. Harry called her over and he slowly zipped the back of the dress up for her. "You have always been a pretty girl, do not let somebody else tell you otherwise." Harry said, placing a kiss on her cheek. "Hard, sometimes." She said. "I know, believe me, I know." Harry said, as she turned around. "People haven't liked me, not at all. Please, can you help me with something?" She asked. "Sweet girl, I don't know where to begin with finding your mommy." Harry said. "Try." She said and with a sigh. "I will see what I can do, but I can't make any promises sweetie." Harry said and she gave a tiny nod.

That night, Harry felt a kiss on his head as he looked over some paperwork. "What is it you are looking at?" Draco asked. "All the information Siruis has on Betty." Harry said. "Oh, how come?" Draco asked. "She is eight years old, now. She is wanting to understand more about herself. She wants to know her biological parents. She's still a bit young, but she has been on this for a couple years. Siruis...just can't keep telling her no, but he hasn't had much luck, hoping maybe I could see something else." Harry said. "We can look over the paperwork in the morning. It's late, you should come it bed." Draco said. "Alright, my love."
