Harry Potter:Blood

It had been three weeks since they had been rescued and Harry was practically gravid in his appearance, he swam in lazy circles feeling uncomfortable as he felt his child move within him.

"I still can't get my head around all this" said Draco as he watched his mate do loop-de-loops in the water.

"I can guarantee Draco that no matter how strange this is for you it's even weirder for me!" Harry laughed, wincing slightly as the chid shifted in his abdomen.

"Oh Merlin we are going to be parents! And we barely know the basics of what it is to be a Merrow; how the hell are we supposed to teach it?" Draco Sighed.

"The same thing everyone should teach their children, how to love, how to be happy, knowing that we will always love them!" Harry smiled softly stroking his belly.

"But what about etiquette and tradition? Who will teach them duty and their responsibilities as a first born child" Draco said angrily, doing a damn good impression of his death eater father.

"Draco that will come later, it's not important, don't you remember when you were little and all you wanted to do was to be loved and cherished?" Harry stopped swimming and floated lazily in front of Draco.

"I mean I know I did when I was sat in my cupboard at night, I prayed someone would save me and along came Hagrid and Ron and Hermione and now I will have a real family with you and our baby!" Silver tears swirled in the water near Harry's eyes.

Draco just stared at Harry, a strange expression on his face; he lowered his head in exasperation, letting out a long sigh.

"I…I never had that Harry my father never even hugged me, he knew about Voldemort's plan for me and he left me to be turned into this…this thing, to rot in a tank for Voldemort's pleasure." Draco Scowled.

"Only my mother showed me any affection, and he took her away from me, he killed her Harry, he stood over her and I watched her die!" Draco began to sob openly, Silver pooled in the water in front of his face as his heart wracking cries where released.

Harry wrapped his arms around Draco and held him tightly.

"What if I am just like him, evil and cold, what if it's in my blood?"

"You are nothing like him and you never will be, you have shown me what a lovely kind and beautiful man you have become and I love you so much." Harry smiled.

Burying his face into Draco's hair Draco sniffed and smiled.

"I love you too Harry" he raised his head and pressed his lips to the smaller brunette's, rubbing his hands across the wide expanse of his submissive's belly.

"Everything is going to be fine Draco" Harry said quietly, resting his chin once again on Draco's head but the blonde couldn't see that his face was full of doubt.
