After the war Draco of course ended up living with Harry, which would have been a nice gesture if Harry didn't take in all the strays. Harry took in all kids who's parents where killed, driven to insanity or locked in Azkaban after the war. This ment that Harry and by extension also Draco have to raise these kids until custody was settled on. Draco rarely got time to himself especially considering that Draco was sharing a twin sized bed with Harry. He was in said twin sized bed now with Harry's chest pressed up against his back. Draco couldn't fall asleep, though he did keep daydreaming about Harry kissing the soft bit of collar bone and shoulder that was exposed by his oversized t-shirt. Harry was the first to make a move, wrapping an arm around Draco in his sleep. Draco cuddled back into harry before falling asleep.

Draco woke up to loud crying on the baby monitor. He groaned as he got up out of the bed, Harry still snoring away. Draco got up and checked on the kids; It was Harry's brilliant idea to separate them by age so by now half the nursery was crying. Draco walked by the cribs, waving his wand to change the babies that needed changing and so forth, once that was taken care of Draco waited for them to stop crying, some did, but as the rest were still crying Draco began to sing

"Seekest thou the road to all that's foul and fair
Gather sisters fire, water, earth and air
Darkest hour, wake thy power, earthly and divine
Burn and brew with coven true and glory shall be thine
Down, down, down the road
Down the witches' road
Down, down, down the road
Down the witches' road
Down, down, down the road
Down the witches' road
Circle sewn with fate
Unlock thy hidden gate
Marching ever forward
'Neath the wooded shrine
I stray not from the path
I hold death's hand in mine
Primal night, giveth sight
Familiar by thy side
If one be gone, we carry on
Spirit as our guide
Down, down, down the road
Down the witches' road (down the witches' road)
Down, down, down the road (down the witches' road)
Down the witches' road (down the witches' road)
Down, down, down the road (down the witches' road)
Down the witches' road (down the witches' road)
Blood and tears and bone
Maiden, Mother, Crone
The road is wild and wicked
Winding through the wood
Where all that's wrong is right
And all that's bad is good
Through many miles of tricks and trials
We'll wander high and low
Tame your fears, a door appears
The time has come to go
Down, down, down the road (down, down, down, down)
Down the witches' road (down the witches' road)
Down, down, down the road (down the witches' road)
Down the witches' road (down the witches' road)
Down, down, down the road (down the witches' road)
Down the witches' road (down the witches' road)
Follow me, my friend
To glory at the end"

Draco jumped when he felt arms wrap around his waist and Harry resting his head on Draco's shoulder. "Come back to beddddd" Harry whined
"Excuse me Potter, I was busy dealing with these children that you insist on taking in instead of letting the ministry deal with" Draco says.
Harry began dragging Draco back to the bedroom "no time for snarky comments baby, just come back to bed"
Draco blushed and looked back at Harry "you're sleepwalking"
Harry flopped back onto the bed holding Draco close. "Okay dream Draco" he kissed the base of Draco's neck "you're still perfect as ever" he began kissing along Draco's collar bone "there's probably a spell to make the bed bigger... But I like being this close to you"
Draco sighs and cuddles back into Harry slightly before rolling over to face him. 
"You're beautiful" Harry said and kissed him gently before falling back asleep.

Harry wraps his arms around Draco as the omega cooked breakfast "so I've been thinking" he says "you're an omega, living with me, an alpha... And Teddy Lupin needs a set of parents, he's your nephew and my godson..."
"No, try again"
"What?"
"That's not how you're gonna ask me out" Draco sips his coffee.
"Then how am I going to ask you out?" Harry asked
"Directly. Not using some bullshit excuse about the kids needing a family"
"Okay, and are you gonna say yes?"
"If I tell you that now it kind of defeats the whole point of you asking me"
Harry nods and looks at Draco, taking a deep breath "Draco, do you want to go on a date with me?"
"Hmm, try bringing me flowers when you ask,"
Harry cast a spell and flowers sprouted from the tip of his wand.
"I meant roses" Draco looks at Harry "and chocolates couldn't hurt, I want it to be romantic"
"Should I write you a poem too?" Harry asked sarcastically
"Now that I'd definitely say yes to"
Harry tried again a week after his initial attempt at asking Draco out. "Roses are red, violets are blue, my heart beats too fast when I'm with you. Grass is green, daisies  are yellow, my heart skips a beet when you say hello. The sky is blue, the sun is shining-"
"Please. Please never attempt poetry again" Draco looked at Harry
"But you said If I wrote you a poem-"
"Yes, then I heard what you consider poetry and now I'll only go out  with you if you promise to never write poetry again"
"Okay, I'll never write poetry again" Harry promised and gave Draco the flowers and chocolates.

Harry watched as Draco finished reading a bedtime story to the younger kids, tucking them in before sneaking out of the room. Draco closed the door and looked at Harry. "What?"
"You're so good with the kids" Harry says. "You'll make a great mom if you want kids someday"
"It's just my omega instincts" Draco shrugged "nothing special"
Harry wrapped his arms around Draco "nothing special?" He shook his head "you'll always be special to me "
