Refuged Love-Chapter 33

Draco sighted sitting on the couch. He was very sad, still nothing and it had been a long time since Remus' heat. Maybe he just was not able to concive. He tried not to be angry with Harry for his pregnancy. He picked up his book again, trying to read when he felt ill, but tried to brush it off.

Harry: *was feeling a little under the weather as he waddled abt, maybe it was just the nerves since he was almost due. He went to get himself a warm drink, then went to where Draco is n noticed his ill complexion* Hey, Draco, u dont look so good. U alright?

"I think it was the fish I had the other day. I have not been able to tollirate fish but you and uncle Sev cooked it so I ate it." he said, shruging it off. "How do you feel?"

Harry: OK, just a bit heavy. N nervous. Well, mostly nervous actually. The baby is almost due aftr all *sat beside n looked at his face again* Man, u reli dont look so good. Maybe ur pregnant too? *meant it as a jest*

"I doubt..." Draco thought about it. He had been vomiting and feeling fateged...maybe... "Does Uncle Sev have any pregnancy potions around?"

Harry: I think he has some reserves. Want me to prepare it for u?

"No let me do it. You shouldn't be handling potions in your condition."

Harry: Alright, bt at least lemme accompany u. I'd like to knw the results too

"Ok." Draco went to the bathroom where the potions were and mixed it up. "Uh can turn aroun so I can...well...pee?"

Harry: Oh, OK, sorry *turns ard n waited until Draco finished peeing*

When he was finished he put some drops of urine in the potion then sat it on the cunter to wait. "What color will it be if you are pregnant?"

Harry: *turns to watch the potion as well* If I'm not mistaken, it should turn frm this yellow colour into dark blue

Draco waited. It started turning green then to a dark blue and stopped turning. He looked at it then at Harry then back.

Harry: *was the first to react as he gasped* Merlin's beard, Draco! Ur...Ur pregnant! Oh my god, u guys did it! Ur pregnant!!

Draco smiled then blushed. "I am." he grinned bigger. "I am!"

Harry: Oh Draco! This calls for a celebration! We should... *his face suddenly bunched up*

"We should what?" he asked and looked over at Harry. "Harry? Whats wrong? You don't look so good."

Harry: I...I dunno...I... *his face bunched up again n suddenly he was wetting himself, a puddle of water forming at his feet*

"Harry?" He touched. "Uncle SEV!"

Harry: O...Oh God... *fell on his knees, clutching his belly*

Remus: *was at the recreation room with Severus playing wizard chess wen his sharp ears caught Draco's shout* Its Drake. I think he's calling for u

"Hmm?" Severus got up and went up stairs. "Draco, what is it?" He came in and saw Harry. "Harry, pet?" He went to him. "What's happening?"

"I don't.....know he just doubled over."

Harry: Ooow...M-M-Master...It...It hurts...!! I...I think my...water's broken...

"Oh dear." He picked him up and took him to the bedroom. "LUPIN!" he called out. "Just calmly breath, love. I need to figure out how far you are dilated." Like he knew.

Remus: *came at Severus' call n didnt need to be a genius to knw Harry's situation* Har, cub? Is it time?

Harry: Mmmhh...!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts~!! Master....!! Remy...!! *was sobbing as he tried to breathe thru the contractions*

"Harry you have to breath. Lupin do you know anything about knowing how far he is along?" He asked.

Draco was in the door way, bitting his lip. How was his good news going to compare to Harry's. right now it was Harry's day.

Remus: I think I knw a thing or two. I've helped my mother give birth once *felt him up* He's almost there, abt 5cm. Give it a few more minutes *sees Draco n wiped his hand before going to him* Drake, be a dear n fetch some warm water n towels, lots of towels, can u do tht for me, love?

Harry: *groaned as he felt another contraction n clutched onto Severus' robe tight, sobbing n breathing at the same time*

"Oh, ok." He nodded and went to go get the water and towels. He came back and gave them to Remus.

"Just breath, baby. And call me Severus." He took Harry's hand and stroked it.

Harry: S...Severus...Severus, it hurts...Oh god, it hurts worse than...than being hit with the Cruciatus... *breathes thru another contraction*

Remus: Thanks, love *kissed Draco's forehead* Do u want to wait outside or stay with Harry?

"I'll stay in here. If you need me. Go help Harry." Draco said.

"I know, I know." Really he didn't but he knew what the Cruciatus felt like. "You need to get to 10 cms before you can start pushing. If i had some potion to help you I would use it."

Remus: *chked him* Almost there, abt 1 more cm to go. Hang in there, Har

Harry: *sobs n tries to breathe thru another contraction* Oh god...Make it stop...!!

"Breath, Harry. It is not much longer and we will have our child. Consentrate on that."

Draco was grimmicing at the door. If it was this painfull for one then what would it feel like for two...or three...or... Draco's eyes rolled back in his eyes and fainted.

Remus: *sees Draco faint n quickly went to him* Ack! I guess its a little too much for him. I'll bring him to our room first. Just keep breathing, cub

Harry: *nods n carries on breathing* W...Wht do u...think our baby...will be...? Boy...? Girl...?

"I don't care what it is as long as it is health." he said. "Just tell me when you need to push." he kissed his lips. "Just hang in there."

Harry: *nods n continues to concentrate on breathing, then the pain felt like something else, like an urge to push* I...I think I need to push...

"Then push Harry. Push with all you have in yourself. Lupin I need you in here."

Remus: *finished tucking Draco in n came in* Is he ready now? *felt him up again* Yup, ur ready. U can start pushing now, push along with the contractions, dont hold bk

Harry: *waited for a contraction n pushed with all his might, letting a painful grunt n groaned*

"That's it, baby. Just go with it." he kissed his cheek. "Your doing so good."

Harry: *pushed again at another contraction, gripping Severus' hand n robe hard*

Remus: Ur doing vry good, cub. Nice n strong push. Keep going

Harry: *pushed n pushed until he suddenly felt something btwn his legs n starting whining*

"Harry the baby is crowning. You need to push harder, get our baby out." He squeezed his hand and watchedthe baby come out of Harry.

Remus: He's right, cub. Its crowning. Do u wanna feel it? *takes Harry's hand n brought it dwn to touch the crowning head in his birth canal* See? Tht's the head

Harry: O...Our baby...Oh...I feel it...He's got so much hair...!! *sobs tears of joy n anticipation*

"Yes he does." He nodded. "He is almost out, oh baby. I love you so much."

Remus: Come on, Har, give it ur best

Harry: *gritted his teeth n pushed dwn as hard as he could along with the contraction*

Remus: Almost there, almost there, the shoulders r almost out now, keep pushing!

"Yes, baby. Your so close." Severus was in awe at what Harry was doing.

Harry: *his cheeks were soaked with tears n sweat bt he kept going, with Remus' coaching n Severus' support*

Remus: Almost there, almost! Gimme one big push!

Harry: *takes a few deep breaths n then pushes dwn as hard as he could, screaming out Severus' name*

The baby then popped out on to Remus' hands. Severus was so excited. "Oh, love you gave such a lovely child."

Harry: Is...Is it a girl...? Or a boy...?

Remus: Hang on, lemme help it to breathe *smacked her bk n rubbed it a few times before its cries gurgled a little n finally rang thru the room* Ur a fighter, arent u, little one? It's a girl!

"A girl." Severus kissed Harry. "You gave me a beautiful baby girl. Does she have my nose?"

Remus: Oh dont worry ur socks off, Sev, ur nose isnt all tht bad, bt if it makes u feel better, no, she has Har's nose n eyes, bt she has ur hair *brought her to the basin of warm water n washed her*

Harry: G...Girl...? *looks a little disappointed*

"Harry you are dissapointed are you?" He asked Harry. "I told you I would love the child no matter what?"

Harry: I just...hope to give u a boy...All husbands want their wives to give their firstborn a son

"I don't feel that way, Harry. I love our girl no matter what. I love you even more that you gave me a presious girl."

Harry: R...Reli? Ur...Ur not disappointed?

"No, baby. I love her." He smiled.

Harry: I'm glad *kissed him* Can I hold her now?

Remus: Hang on *wrapped the baby in clean towels* Here ya go, ur little princess *hands her to Harry*

Harry: *looks at her features* Oh, she's so beautiful. So so beautiful... *caresses the baby's cheek*

Severus smiled. "Yes she is." Severus touched her and she wraped her fingers around his. The first of many.

Remus: Har, cub, I'm gonna need u to push out the aftrbirth. Just do it gently

Harry: *nods n pushed just a little, n the aftrbirth slid out into Remus' hands*

"What should we name her?" Severus asked.

Harry: I dunno. Havent reli thought of it, since I've always been thinking of boys' names

"You should have." he smiled and stroked Harry's hair. "What about Aleah?"

Harry: Aleah. Yeah, it sounds nice. Aleah Lily Snape. How's tht?

"Aleah Lily Snape. I love it." He kissed his check, then looked at Aleah. "They will know she is born. Every magical child is automanticly registered, but they will not know where she was born."

Harry: I'm glad, bt then they would knw she belongs to us...We'll cause more chaos. They will fortify the search both Ministry n Death Eater. Wht should we do?

Remus: I'm sure they won't be able to find here. Its so secluded. Bt if the worst case scenario happens, its either we face them or we fight

"Nothing right now. You will need to face The dark Lord soon, but not until you are ready and healed up."

Harry: *nods* I knw its unavoidable, bt I'd rather not face him, bt still it is my fate. Oh *turns to Remus* Draco's got some good news to tell u

Remus: Oh? Wht of?

Harry: Ur gonna hv to ask him urself. I'm only telling Severus *whispered into Severus' ear in a way he knew Remus can't pick up*

Severus smiled. "That is good news."

Remus: *raised a brow* Alright, I'll play ball. *cleans Harry up one last time* Well, u rest up now. N congratulations again. U did reli well, cub *kissed Harry's forehead*

Harry: *smiled* Thanks. I couldnt hv done it without u

Remus: Ur my cub. All the more so *got up n left to his room*

"I better go figure out a bed for her before the night."
