Chapter 21
The Start of Something Wonderful
"Four years ago I promised you forever, Harry. I'm not going to break that promise," Draco whispered into Harry's ear. He moved back and wiped away his fiancé's tears. "Are those happy tears?"
Harry let out a small laugh and sniffed. "Of course! I can't… Oh god, I'm acting like a bloody girl right now…"
'I'll be more of a girl when I…'
"It doesn't matter," Draco's said, his voice breaking Harry's thoughts. "I love you, even with your puffy, red eyes." The blond slowly stood up, offering his hand to Harry, who took it. "Now, where were we before I proposed and you started crying?"
Draco grabbed Harry's shoulder and gently pushed the brunet back towards their bed. Harry's eyes widened when he fell on top of the mattress, Draco falling over along with him. As he was being pinned down by the taller man, Harry wrapped his legs and arms around Draco's body and rolled them both until they were in the middle of the bed.
"I don't want you to fall out of the bed when you fuck me," Harry whispered when Draco looked at him questioningly. "Besides, it's more comfortable this way; my legs aren't dangling on the edge."
Draco growled and circled his hips; Harry whimpered and snapped his eyes shut as the blond ground his erection into his. Harry bucked when Draco pressed down and stayed that way.
"Are you going to tease me again?" Harry asked, his breath coming in short pants. "You-" Harry thrust his hips upward. "-shouldn't!"
Malfoy gasped; he smirked down at his lover before lifting his torso away from Harry's. The green-eyed man pouted at him; Draco craned his neck and kissed the pout away. Draco slid down, his hands brushing Harry's heated skin. Potter writhed and squirmed as Draco's fingers massaged him; he held his head up when he felt the fingers stopping right at his hips. Silver orbs met his eyes; Draco was right above his crotch, his mouth very close to his erection.
His tongue darted out and gave Harry's cock a tentative lick. Harry whimpered again and tried to press the head into Draco's mouth but the blond was holding down his hips, stopping any movements.
"Please… Please, Draco…" Harry sobbed; he tried to move his hips but didn't get far.
"Yes, Harry? What do you want?"
"You know what I want, Draco!" Harry cried; he tried a smile when Draco pulled back and looked up at him, his eyebrow arched. "Sorry… But… Don't stop?" Harry pleaded meekly.
Draco chuckled and ducked his head. "No… Never stop, not with you…" His warm breath caressed the tip of Harry's hard member.
Potter tightened his grip on the bed sheet when Draco's lips finally wrapped around his cock. Then there was the suction; he could see Draco's cheeks hollowing as the blond sucked, his head bobbing up and down. Harry gurgled when Draco's tongue molded against the underside of his cock, caressing the skin and flesh… and the way Draco used his teeth, gently scraping them over his sensitized skin. Harry shivered; he wasn't going to last if Draco kept this up.
With a groan, Harry fell back against the pillows. He just didn't have the strength to hold himself up anymore. It was when Draco hummed did Harry scream out. His hands flew to the top of Draco's head, his fingers curling around the blond tresses.
"Draco… Finish it. I want you… I need you inside…" Harry ground out through gritted teeth; he was really trying not to cry out in pleasure.
Harry was a very vocal person.
The green-eyed man flexed his fingers and he somewhat guided Draco's head, pushing it down onto his prick. At this point, Draco wasn't really pressing Harry's hips down anymore; he was too busy attending Harry.
"Yes… OH! Draco… DRACO!!" Harry screamed and bucked his hips.
The blond closed his eyes in content and relaxed his throat, welcoming the creamy substance that was sliding down his throat. He swallowed and sucked gently, milking Harry. The brunet was now limp, his chest heaving. With one last lick, Draco slithered back up and kissed Harry fiercely, letting his fiancé taste himself.
Harry was sated and tired, but he was never too tired to kiss Draco. Their kiss was slow and deep. By the time they separated, Harry got his breathing back under control. He smiled up at Draco and parted his legs, letting the blond know he was ready. Harry bent his legs and placed his feet flat on the bed, presenting his body to the man he was to marry.
"Beautiful… My beautiful Harry…" Draco murmured; he placed soft kisses down Harry's neck, to his collar bone, down his chest, his abdomen, and finally one last kiss right above Harry's navel.
"I love you, Harry…"
Harry smiled and reached up to cup Draco's face. "I love you, too…"
When he heard Draco muttered a spell, Harry almost gasped out loud when he felt something cold and gooey coating his opening. Draco smirked at him when Harry tried to wiggle his arse; the damn lubricant spell felt weird, no matter how many times Draco used it.
"Do you really have to use the spell instead of summoning a tube?" Harry grouched; Draco smiled and splayed his hand over Harry's belly, gently rubbing it. Harry blushed.
'That feels nice… I wonder if it's because of the potion I took…'
"Too lazy… The spell works just as well," Draco replied offhandedly; his hand was still making small circles on Harry's stomach.
"It feels weird and it's all cold!" Harry complained; Draco only smirked at him. "You're such a bitch…" Harry's eyes gleamed and he also muttered the same lubrication spell.
Draco yelped and wrapped his hand around his cock. "A little warning?!"
"You did the same thing to me," Harry said cheekily.
Draco growled and held his hard cock right in front of Harry's eager hole. Potter was trying to relax as Draco slowly pressed in. Sometimes, they did it without any preparation. They didn't do that often, but Harry liked the burn when Draco stretched him wide with his thick member.
Once Draco was fully sheathed inside his lover, he stayed still, waiting for Harry to get used to the burn and the fullness. Harry groaned and shifted his hips, lifting up and pressed downward, taking Draco even deeper.
"Move… Move, Draco…" Harry moaned and began pressing down onto Draco's cock.
Malfoy hissed and did what Harry asked; he pulled back and thrust in, hard. Harry mewled and wrapped his legs around Draco's back.
"You want it hard, do you?" Draco panted; Harry nodded frantically and cried out when the head of Draco's cock hit his prostate. "Merlin… Harry, you're tight… feels good…"
Harry whimpered and didn't even bother to answer. He knew he couldn't, not when Draco was thrusting hard and fast now.
A low, guttural growl escaped Draco's lips when Harry's inner muscles clenched. He released his seeds deep inside Harry while the brunet released and coated his stomach and Draco's chest.
"Fuck…" Draco's arms gave and he fell on top of Harry. Potter did not complain and just lied there, very still.
'It… it's done… hope it worked…'
"… I know I said it many times," Draco murmured against the juncture of Harry's neck, "but I love you. I want you to know."
Harry smiled tiredly and brought one hand up to card his fingers through the sweat-sodden blond hair.
"I know."
.: Four days later :.
"Well?" Hermione asked impatiently. Harry and Draco looked at each other and smiled.
"Hermione, calm down," Harry laughed; he held up his hand and let the witch see his ring.
"Oh! Oh my god! Congratulations!" Hermione squealed and threw herself at Harry, giving the brunet a bear hug. Harry laughed merrily and returned it.
Ron and Draco rolled their eyes as Hermione sat back down next to her husband.
"Can I help you guys plan the wedding?" Hermione asked excitedly; Ron placed a hand on top of his wife's.
"So, you finally popped the question eh, Malfoy?" Ron smirked at the blond. Draco returned the smirk.
"Yes, I did it. Naked, I might add. I saw everything from where I was kneeling."
Harry flushed and smacked Draco's arm.
Hermione pulled her hand away from her husband's and stood up from the couch.
"Can I borrow your soon-to-be husband for a few minutes, Draco?"
Draco looked over at Harry, who was twiddling his thumbs, and then looked over at Hermione.
"Of course, but bring him back, alright?"
Hermione nodded and pulled Harry up; Potter looked back at Draco as he was pulled away. He sent Malfoy a kiss and disappeared around the corner. Ron cleared his throat.
"Why looking so nervous, Weasley? Do you know something that I don't?" Draco asked; he calmly sat back in the couch and crossed his legs.
"No… Hermione's probably telling Harry all about how to plan a wedding," Ron said; he was looking straight at Draco. "She's been waiting for this for ages."
'Just look at Malfoy's eyes… so that he doesn't know I'm lying.'
Draco smiled; it sounded plausible.

"Did you bring it?" Hermione asked; she and Harry were now in the dining room, far away from the other two men.
"Yeah, I almost forgot… but I did what you asked," Harry answered; he reached into his jeans and took out a very small vial of blood. "I remembered just before we came here. It was a nice spell you put onto the vial; all I had to do was touch it against my skin and it drew blood!"
"I didn't want you to cut yourself on purpose, and this method is pain-free," Hermione said; she took the vial from her friend and put it into a clear, plastic bag she had produced earlier. "I'm going to send this right to my office. I'll do the test tomorrow once I get to St. Mungo's."
"When will I know if I'm…" Harry bit his bottom lip.
"The test results will be ready in a few days. When I have the answer, I'll owl you," Hermione said; she laughed lightly when Harry looked scared and happy at the same time. "You really want this to happen, don't you?"
Harry looked at his friend solemnly and nodded. "The topic will come up sooner or later; it's only a matter of time. Since he just proposed to me and we're about to be married, it's going to come even faster."
Hermione went up to Harry and gave him a motherly hug. "I'm sure it will work. Let's just say I have this feeling it will be a positive result."
Harry sighed and hugged her. "I hope so. I really do."
.: Another four days later… :.
Harry was sitting on their bed, waiting for Draco to walk in; the blond was still taking his shower. It was late at night and Harry was feeling extremely nervous and tremendously happy. He had gotten Hermione's letter yesterday. The result of his blood test was in it as well. Harry almost fainted after reading the letter the first time. Not really believing what he had read, Potter read the letter twice.
Harry's wish was granted. He wept happy tears but they were gone before Draco had the chance to ask him what was wrong. It was a good thing Draco was making dinner when the letter arrived.
Now, all Harry had to do was tell Draco the great news.
(Last night…)
Harry was sitting in the living room, watching television, when a gray owl swooped through one of the opened windows. Harry gasped and quickly looked around; Draco was nowhere in sight. The owl landed gracefully next to him and held out its foot; a rolled up letter was attached to it. His heart pounding in his chest, Harry took the letter and thanked the owl quietly; he watched the bird fly out soundlessly.
With shaking fingers, Harry untied the ribbon and unrolled the parchment. It was from Hermione; Harry had been expecting a letter from her, but not so soon.
Harry,
I got the test result! Oh dear God! I'm so happy for you! Well, you can probably tell that it's good news. I know, I know, you want the answers already. Well…
YOU'RE PREGNANT, HARRY!
You and Draco are going to be fathers! Well technically, you're the 'mother', Harry, but you already know that. To be honest, I was shocked when you asked me about the potion two months ago. As I had told you, the potion was initially for women that had trouble conceiving. You must be the first male that had successfully conceived. The child will have yours and Draco's DNA. Better than finding a surrogate mother. But as you know, it was really a fifty-fifty chance. But, no more worries! There's a baby growing inside you; you're around a week along (obviously) and I am going to strictly say: YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR HEALTH, HARRY POTTER! From now on, you're going to have appointments with me every month. I'm not going to take any excuses! You better show up!
Congratulations once again, love. On the proposal and the baby on the way. It's going to be a tough nine months, but I'm sure you're alright with that since I told you this before and you readily accepted that fact.
Oh, you're going to look so adorable with a round belly, Harry!
Lots of love,
Hermione
P.S. Ron's really happy for you, too.
Harry had laughed when he read the last sentence; he wasn't sure if he was going to look adorable with a round belly. Then he sobered and folded the letter neatly before tucking it in his pocket.
Placing a hand on his abdomen, Harry thought he could almost feel a small throb of magic coming from within. He smiled and rubbed his belly gently. A child. He was going to be a parent to a child that belonged to him and Draco.

"Harry? Are you alright?" Draco asked as he came in; Harry was sitting on the bed, his legs tucked under him. "You look a bit pale… Are you sick, love?"
'Sick isn't the right word…' Harry had to bite his lip in order to stop his smile from appearing.
Harry shook his head and beckoned his lover over. Draco padded to Harry and sat down next to the brunet, and then he wrapped his arms around Harry; Potter sighed and laid his head on Draco's shoulder.
"Draco?"
"Hmm?"
"You know how we're about to be married, right?"
Draco chuckled softly and placed a kiss on top of Harry's head. "Of course I do. I was the one that asked you to marry me."
Harry smiled into Draco's neck. "Do you also remember how we talked about having kids…?" Harry moved away and looked into Draco's eyes.
Harry was glad Draco wasn't frowning or scowling at him. Instead, the blond was actually smiling, his eyes were warm. Harry felt himself relax.
"I remember… We talked about adopting… or maybe finding a surrogate to carry our baby," Draco said. "Why are you asking all these questions, Harry? Do you… want to adopt now? Or start finding a surrogate mother?"
"No, Draco," Harry said softly; he took one of Draco's hands and held it in his. "Draco, love, we're going to have a baby."
Draco tilted his head to the side. "Are you saying you already found a surrogate?" When Harry frowned, Draco quickly leaned in and kissed his fiancé. "I'm not upset. I want a child as much as you do, you know that. I guess it's about time we start looking for a woman to help us."
Harry giggled as Draco babbled; he slowly moved Draco's hand and placed it over his stomach. Draco looked down at their hands and then looked up again.
"What… Is your stomach hurting? Was it what I cooked tonight?" Draco asked worriedly; Harry laughed and shook his head.
"No! My stomach's not hurting… but you will see it grow bigger though," Harry said, his eyes shining.
"Grow? What are you—"
Things clicked into place. Draco's eyes grew wide. First his mouth formed an 'o', and then it grew into a smile. Lastly, the smile blossomed into a full blown grin. Harry was watching all the emotions flitting across his lover's face. He sighed in relief when Draco started laughing.
Draco pulled the smaller man to his chest with one hand and peppered kisses all over Harry's face.
"Harry… Are you saying…?"
Harry pressed Draco's other hand more firmly on his belly. "I'm pregnant, Draco. We're going to be fathers to a child of our own."
"A baby?"
"Yes, love."
"Oh… I-I love you so much… We're going to have a baby. Our baby." Draco sobbed and held Harry close. "A little baby boy or girl for us to take care of."
When Harry felt Draco's tears on his cheeks, he knew he made the right choice.
Their life together was just beginning.
