A/N: Sorry this chapter is so late in coming. I unfortunately had some real life issues to deal with and then of course I had to read the silly fifth book before I could continue this story and ugh.. I think I've got some things to redo. 9_9;; But I'm lazy and don't feel like checking the chapters for stuff that's not accurate any more.
Not to mention I lost my notes on pregnancy so I had to find my family's medical encyclopedia which is from 87 so..eh.. I'll have to work with old useless data.
Ah...yes. There was a lemony scene at the end of this chapter (which also made the chapter a lot longer), but since fanfiction dot net changed their rules, I feel I should not post it. Hmm...I was going to edit the chapters that had lemony goodness, but I couldn't do it without ruining that chapter. My love scenes have too much dialogue. Yep. No more lemons from me now though. ;_;
Anyway, here's the responses to the reviews y'all so kindly left me. ^_^
Rousy_P: Thank you bunches! ^_^ Welp, I'm updating now, so that's soon right? :D I agree though. There are too many pregnant Harry fics. Draco fits the cranky preggerz dad more to me. :D
Micky: Yesh. I think so too! ^_^
Vampire Layanna: Thanks!
Malfoy Angel: Yay! Someone thinks my story is unique! *hugs* XD
play-nicely-draco: I'm thinking that I like this review! :D Heh.
ishical1: o_o; Jeeze. Okay...I'm updating now... :P
Phoenix: Thank ya most kindly! ^_^
Gryphnwng: I was thinking about being evil and letting him live in the Snakey dorms but then I thought that wouldn't be good for the baby. You can only trust a Slytherin as far you can throw 'em and well..let's face it. With Slyths like Crabbe and Goyle...that's not very far. XD Hehe I'm glad you love my story. *huggles* Hopefully, you're still reading it since it's been months since I updated.
Potter-Snape: Thanks. Btw, I love your handle. Potter-Snape. Could makers a loverly story. Maybe a humor fic where Snape gets pregnant. XD
Queen-of-writers-block: Well, you know how it is sometimes. I mean, with you being the queen of writers block. O_o; Anyway..here's another update for you loverly readers! ^_^
Lady Doncaster: Yeah, Phil's cool like that though. I think his motive has to do with his natural high. o_o; Boy has a lot of energy and no real output. So, why not help the mom's ...er..mom and dad to be. Hey, that brings up a good question. Is Draco a mom or a dad? Should he breast feed or bottle feed? o_O; Wow..that brings up interesting mental images....
PeachDancer82: Heh, me too. I think HxD make the perfect parents cause they know what not to do.
S. Wing: thanks
TigerBlak: I can't believe you're the only person that noticed that! Cause you know what?? Phil is somewhat based on Martin Short's charrie in FotB 2. You rock! Pocky for you! *tosses you a box of almond crush pocky* Btw, a scene in this chapter comes from that movie too. XD
Draco's Worst Nightmare: Heh, I aim to please! But yeah. I rarely see a dominant/protective Harry, so I wanted him to be so in my story. You know..all big daddy like. XD Erm ... ADHD means Attention Deficit with Hyper-activity Disorder.
SunGoddess1: Um..I'm trying to write more. I've just been concentrating on my art and getting together a decent art portfolio. o.o
lillinfields: Hehe thanks. It's okay to be excited. :3
Dragona 2007: Well, I'm glad my story is fluffy enough for you to overlook the parts you don't like. :D
Sapphic Priestess: Aw thanks! Here's a short chapter to read. :3

Wooo! I love gettin to respond to peoples. But now that's over, let's get on with the chapter. :D
23-26 weeks pregnant
Harry, Ron, and the others on the Gryffindor quidditch team were out on the pitch practicing for an upcoming game against Ravenclaw. Ron was quidditch captain and keeper. "Hey Harry, come here a minute!"
Harry guided his broom to Ron, stopping a foot or so in front of the red head. "Yeah? What is it?"
"Did you hear? Ravenclaw's got a new beater!"
Shaking his head, he queried curiously. "Who is it?"
"Phil Steet." Ron could barely suppress his wide grin. It had been almost two months since they first really met Phil, and discovered he would be true to his word. Whenever they had practice, he was there to take care of Draco and Hermione.
"Phil?! As a beater? We're in for it now." Harry and Ron started to laugh and inwardly prayed they could survive a match where Phil was the beater. "So, Ron? What do you suppose they do when we're not around?"
Ron shrugged. "I don't know."
Phil was standing in front of Draco and Hermione, they were behind him. Hermione was dressed in tight around the middle and thighs yoga pants and t-shirt, while Draco was wearing loose track pants and a t-shirt. Phil murmured a charm he learned from Flitwick earlier that day and upbeat aerobic music started up. He looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Ready?"
"Yup," Hermione answered, followed by Draco. "Ready as ever."
Though Draco would never admit it, he really loved having Phil around. It was fun to talk about the coming babies with someone other than the soon to be fathers Harry and Ron. At least Hermione could still talk to her friends. He didn't really have anyone else, and even though he was the love of Harry's life, many of Potter's friends still harbored a grudge against him. He really couldn't blame them any. He was horrible to a lot of people for a long time.
Phil quirked a brow. They said they were ready, but Draco looked a little distant. "Are you sure you're ready?"
Hermione nodded as she looked over to Draco. She gently tapped his shoulder to get his attention.
Draco blinked and blushed a faint rose. "Oh..yeah. Sorry. I'm ready now."
"Good!" Phil looked forward once again. Sounding as chipper as any aerobics instructor, he began his routine. "Watch me do one, then repeat!"
Phil began to walk in place and the moms to be followed his example. He then put on the fakest accent he could. "Do ze baby workout...Make ze baby lean..!"
Hermione giggled. Phil's accent was just too much and it was kinda hard to keep following his example when all she wanted to do was laugh.
The baby workout lasted for roughly forty minutes. At which time Draco and Hermione sat on the floor and refused to do it anymore. Their faces were flushed, hair damp with sweat along with their clothes, but Phil was different. He looked like he hadn't done anything at all. "Fine." Phil grinned at them. "That's enough for today. You guys did great! Though..." He sniffed the air. "You guys totally reek!"
"Gee thanks!" Hermione smiled as she held a hand up in the air. "Help me up. I wanna go take a bath." Phil took her hand and easily pulled her to her feet.
"Yeah..help me up too." Draco extended both his hands. Phil and Hermione took a hand each and pulled the pregnant young man up to his feet.
At that moment, Harry and Ron entered the Malfoy-Potter dorm. Ron teasingly spoke. "Hey girls. How's it going?"
Hermione walked over to her love and hugged him. "Great..eh.." She let go of him and backed away. "You stink..!"
Ron looked floored. "I stink? You don't smell so great yourself."
She frowned for a moment, then grinned mischievously. "Guess that means a bath is in order." She started to leave, then looked over her shoulder. "Come boy." Suppressing a giggle, she left and headed to her private room.
Ron's eyes widened. If he was right and Hermione wanted to...well it'd been a long time. And he wasn't going to waste time. He quickly followed behind her, tempted to use a broom to fly them faster to her room.
Meanwhile, a miffed looking Phil looked disgusted. "Gross! Aww man! Pregnancy hormones. Wait..she's at the same stage as him!" He looked from Draco to Harry. "Uh..I um..yeah gotta go." He edged himself closer and closer to the exit. "Don't forget. We've got a Hogsmeade weekend coming up. Time to buy more baby stuff!!!" That said, Phil left as quickly as he could.
Draco shook his head, though there was a smile on his lips. He turned his back to Harry as he took off his shirt and started to walk to the bathroom.
Harry quietly set his broom down and snuck up behind Draco. Wrapping his arms around the love of his life, he prevented him from moving. "I love you so much." His voice a soft whisper in the blonde's ear.
In Draco's opinion, he could never hear that phrase enough. I love you. Three little words that held so much emotion and feeling. Three little words that he wasn't used to hearing. Feeling really quite over emotional, tears pricked at his eyes. He turned to face Harry and the moment his eyes locked with Harry's beautiful eyes, he started to cry softly. "I love you too."
Smiling, Harry softly kissed away Draco's tears. Then he softly kissed his forehead, nose, and chin. Each move was slowly drawn out. Harry didn't want to rush. He didn't need to rush. They had time.
Draco pulled away from Harry, but also took his hand. Smiling and blushing lightly, he led Harry to their bathroom. Much like Hermione, he had a burst of hormones that quite frankly made him horny as hell. But being pregnant, he wanted to make sure that whatever they did, it was done slowly, cautiously, and lovingly.
Harry started the water of the shower prepared to spend a long, passion filled night with the person carrying his child and new savior of the wizarding world..
