Fandom : HP
Notes: Post Series/slight AU; part of my universe with Hiding in the Shadows, true sequel to Undeniable. Draco and Harry's eldest son and his wife are expecting their first child; Draco refuses to accept he is 'old'. Draco has a hard time dealing with an 'empty nest'; four children at Hogwarts and no little ones running around anymore. George is having a hard time; as his daughters grow up, Fred is seeming farther away and he feels more alone then ever. All that is truly left of the slightly older Weasley twin is a portrait.
Happens between Ch1 and Ch2 of The Rebirth!
Prologue
It was just last year the last of their children finally took their turn to ride the Hogwarts Express, Draco sipped his coffee leaning back in Harry's desk chair. Teddy had married Victoire this summer, the son of the werewolf had married a girl who would understand his tastes in food but would also insist he drink his vitamin potions.
Draco glanced up at the Family Tree Tapestry, his name and Harry's were still firmly linked nearly fourteen years after he conceived Scorpius. Teddy's name was linked with Victoire; it had been since they were about nine and Teddy said he wanted to marry her. He stared at the tapestry for a while before he yelled, "Harry…"
His husband rushed into the room, "What is the matter…"
Draco pointed at the tapestry, "I am not old…"
Harry turned to read…
Theodore Remus Lupin-Black ~ Victoire Marie Weasley
V
Cassiopeia Harriet Lupin-Black
Harry sighed, "Maybe adopting Teddy was a bad idea, then again he is about the same age I was when I brought him home…" he was born when Harry was Seventeen or so…
Draco sighed, he was hormonal because it was the week he was female…he didn't want to think he was old. Even though by wizard standards he wasn't even in his prime yet…
He was still in shock that he had a sister who was younger then his own children. His mother had had a daughter less then a year after she and his godfather; who was more of a father to him then the man who sired him had taken positions as staff at his former school. Severus made such a wonderful uncle and grandfather he must have finally decided he wanted kids of his own after spending years claiming to hate children. Teddy, James, Scorpius, Albus and Lily were amazing; smart, talented and extremely good-looking. His sister Carina Snape looked like his mother only with Severus' black hair, okay so she looked more like his aunt Andromeda really but they all told Severus he was lucky to have her. Being her father's daughter, his sister would be a Potions Master by her nineteenth birthday…
Draco looked at Harry, "I want another baby…"
Harry blinked, "What…" before fainting dead away…
XoooooX
George sat curled up with a photo album filled with pictures of him and Fred as well as himself and their daughters, a gift one Christmas from his mother in front of the fire in his office.
Fred spoke from the portrait, "Georgie, what is up…"
George looked up saddened, "You…I'm feeling lonely. The girls will be graduating from Hogwarts this spring. I miss you so much…it's been so long since you held me. Its so hard living without you…I'm not as strong as you were…'
Fred sighed, "I know you missed me, I wish I could be with you my love. You are braver then you believe. You're a Gryffindor…you were willing to accept that you loved me and be with me. I saved something for you…it's time…beneath our bed is a squeaky floor board. I love you…"
George blinked, "Saved something…for me…" he ran to their room and searched for the squeaky floor board. He found it after about six minutes, he needed about five more to figure out how to move it though. He realized it was magically sealed and probably needed a password. George tapped it with his wand, "Gred and Forge." no response, he tapped it again, "Georgie…" nothing…he smiled sadly, "Gavin Nathan…" it was the name Fred had preferred for their son. The board lifted, revealing a small vial. It was frozen and filled with something white. He carried it carefully to the office, he held it out, "What is this…"
Fred had a sad look in his eye, "I saved it…hoping you wouldn't need it. I researched how Muggles preserve spunk and found a magical equivalent. If you warm it properly and then cast it into your womb while you're fertile I'm pretty sure you'll conceive. Consider this my last gift…I love you so much Georgie…"
George burst into tears, "Fred…I don't want that…to carry a child that wasn't conceived from us making love. Fred…it hurts so much…I need you…I can't do this alone. I need you…"
"I hate that I can't be with you…please…I promised you a third child remember? I took our son with me and I am sorry. I wish I could have held on long enough for them to transfer our son to you. I wanted you to have a son to inherit our shop, I don't know if our daughters will want the shop. All they talk about is Quidditch, they may go pro. Is true that they are better then us…" he asked trying to distract his distraught lover, when that failed he said softly, "Leave the vial on the desk alright? Go take a nap please.."
George went to lay in their bed, sobbing, "Fred…Fred…" he fell asleep, he was getting more easily upset. His daughters would no longer need him soon, his only reasons for still being alive. His other half had been gone too long…
