Beyond tired and upset, Midori went to seek shelter in the room of requirement. Things were racing through her mind, and her two energetic twins were getting the best of her. She wondered if anyone at Hogwarts would even remember her. She'd been away for so long - and she probably looked a bit different. Her vampire side had become more obvious since she didn't have much strength to restrain it. It was lucky for her that vampires were abnormally beautiful. Her twins were much older now too, just barely over a year.

As she stepped in, she wasn't sure exactly what she needed, but the room did. Half of it was a gigantic nursery for the twins. The other half was everything she was fond of. Midori snuggled into the velvety victorian couch. A goblet of blood was on the glass table next to her and she gratefully drank it. It filled until she was ready to stop and her bloodlust was quenched. Unfortunately some of it had spilled on her shirt, but she didn't care. Let the evidence speak for itself.

Her son crawled up to her, curious. She lifted him up and cuddled him. Midori realized he was hungry too. She hadn't bothered trying to wean them - that had slipped her mind. She was just so busy with other issues, and Midori really didn't mind that they still needed her. Unlike Sam.

As she snapped her bra off for her son and he began eating, Midori thought of how much little Akito looked like Sam. It was because of Sam though, that she'd changed his name. Simon sounded too much like Sam. For whatever reason, Sam had decided to divorce her. A month later, Midori had heard that he was in Azkaban. All her saddness came back to her. Without realizing it, she held Akito close and began to cry.

Lucy's twins were also killing her. That and she really had no energy to take care of them and she was sick..due to her pregnancy. She had started to show a little, but she was still thinking about abortion. Could the young mother really take in ANOTHER child?! How she wished Harry would come back!

Mercy, the more troublesome of the girls, had gotten away from her, and ended up leading to where the ROR was. She noticed the door was there and was curious as to who would be in it since the castle had seemed deserted, besides for her run in with Abby by the lake and meeting Lucy (May) in the forest. Other then that, nothing.

She knocked lightly before opening the door and seeing Midori! She screamed and walked as fast as she could over to hug her old friend, ignoring that she didn't have her bra on.

"O my god! How are you?!" She asked, glad to have her old best friend back.

Midori was shocked, but she wiped the tears off her cheeks and smiled. "Lucy!! Oh, I haven't seen you in ages! I'm great, how are you?" She'd lied a bit. She was pretty bad off - if she were still living with Sam she wouldn't have had a reason to come back to Hogwarts. Akito, who'd gotten squished during the girls' excited hugging whined at her, scolding her.

Midori laughed and smiled down at him. "Oh, you shush. You're ok! Yeah, you're fine. I know you're mad at me now." She giggled. "Silly boy." Then she looked back up at Lucy. "How are your girls doing?"

"You sure you're alright?" She asked, having seen the girls tears. "And I'm alright too, not bad actually." However, Lucy was also kinda lying and suddenly she just wanted to cry.

"Aww, you're kids turned out well. They're so cute!" She smiled at her best friends little boy.

"Mercy is a pain, go figure. But April is just quiet and shy. Together, however, they are a hand full." She felt sick again but pushed it aside for this little reunion.

"No...I'm not really...but I will be. Someday." She tried to smile.

She gently stoked April's leg while Lucy was holding her. "Hey sweetie. Look at you! You're so gorgeous! Yeah, you and sissy are so pretty! Just like your mama." She laughed. "Oh, are you shy? Awww, it's ok. I won't hurt you!"

Akito soon finished eating, so she quickly put her bra back on. "Sorry you had to see me like that." She blushed, then grinned. "Oh, look! It looks like Mercy is getting along quite well with Kisa." Then she added. "I changed their names. I wanted them to have a Japanese name like mine."

Kisa began crying as though she were annoyed. Midori saw that she was refusing to share a stuffed cat with Mercy. "Kisa..." she said in a warning tone. "You need to share big girl. Come on, you've had your turn with the kitty. Give it to Mercy, please." Kisa did as she was told. "Thank you princess." She laughed. "Share doesn't really seem to be a part of their vocab yet."

"I guess that goes for both of us." She said softly.

"Don't worry. At least it's a friend and not a boy." Lucy smiled, remembering when she had to feed her girls in front of Harry, and what it had turned into. She sighed and tried to hide her clutching her stomach as it started really hurting.

"Yea, she's a little shy." She told Midori. "Hey baby, she won't hurt you. That's your god-mother. She's mommies bestest friend." Lucy smiled at Midori.

"I like their new names. So..original." She told her.

"Yep! Apparently Akito is a popular name in Japan. I thought kisa was cute so I can call her Kiki," she laughed. Her daughter looked up as she said 'kiki'. "It's ok baby, I don't need you. You're fine, you go play."

She noticed that Lucy looked quite pale. "You ok? You look... I dunno.. sick I guess." I know I've been sick, but I'm not to sure why. Well... Sam got me pregnant a while back so I immobilized the baby. Remember that... how i thuoght it was Draco's? Anyway, I think the spell is starting to break again." She sighed. "I just don't what to do with 3 kids. Especially if I have twins again!" She sighed.

"Here Akito," Midori told her boy. "Come here." She held him up and stood so he could see Mercy. "Is that auntie Lucy? Yeah! And Mercy! She's gonna be like another sissy for you!" Akito gently reached out and poked Mercy, pulling his hand away very quickly. Midori laughed. "Yep, she's real. What? What's the matter Aki? Huh? You look puzzled. Look... this is Mercy. Can you say hi? Say 'hi Mercy!' Hi!" He stared blankly at the girl, then buried his face in Midori. "What? You're not shy, you stinker! You little goose!" She tickled him all over.

"He's such a flirt," she told Lucy, rolling her eyes.

"Aww..." She set April down to play with Mercy and Kiki so, if she did end up passing out again, she wouldn't hurt one of her girls.

"Yea..umm...I am pregnant again." She said. "I don't know if I want to keep it though." She sighed, tears coming in her eyes at remembering how Draco had an affair with Midori, and how it looked as if he were gone for ever by now.

"Wow, if he's a flirt now, imagine how he'll be when he's older." Lucy smiled with Midori, watching all for kids playing together.

Midori laughed. "He'll be handsome, that's for sure. I just don't want him to end up like me."

She felt bad for Lucy. Once again they were in the same position. "Well... the bright side is that we can be pregnant together. And, even if we don't have our men around, we can manage. I know I can without Sam. We, um, we divorced by the way. And he's locked up in Azkaban." She felt a hot tear run down her cheek. "I don't really care but... I did love him..."

"I'm sure he will be." She gave a small smile.

Lucy hugged Midori again. "Aww...I'm SO sorry. I had no idea. But with me...the child isn't Draco's...I don't know where me and him are. He's vanished again and...Harry was there and....yea, I guess you can see where this is going. But now Harry has vanished also. I think you and I are cursed." Now tears were also running down her face, along with mascara.

"It's ok Lucy. I know Harry will be back. He does tend to go off, doesn't he? I'm sure he just needed some space and some time ot think. does he even know you're pregnant? If he did, I know he'd never leave your side. He's a god guy like that." Midori tried to smile, but it was hard. She felt more tears go down her cheeks, but hugged Lucy tight.

"I don't know. He said he'd never leave, but then again so had Draco. And I found out I was pregnant after he disappeared, when I was away with the girls. We had actually talked about it...after we..." She felt horrible. One cause she was sick and two cause Draco and three cause Harry, though that didn't make snse.

"Yeah, I know he's disappeared before, but I bet he has a good reason. Like... I dunno... maybe Lupin or Tonks is in St. Mungos and he's helping out. And maybe one day Draco will come back. If he did - you'd still be with Harry, right? Harry's just worked so hard to make you happy and Draco just - mm, you guys fought so much and stuff. I'd just hate to see what Harry's done go to waste. He's such a sweet pea."

Midori smiled. It wasn't obvious, but there was much behind it. The baby inside her was Draco's. She knew that much. After Draco's annoying avoidance, she hunted him down and captured him at Bellatrix's house. Bella was an old friend and was deeply unhappy with Draco for leaving Midori hanging. True, Midori always felt like Bella's pet, or some sort of play thing, but at least Draco hadn't been able to say no to talking with her. Midori had onl planned to stay a few hours, but hours tuned to days, and days turned into weeks. Half was because Bella insisted that she stay, but the other was that Draco had surprised her in taking care of her. They still weren't sure what to do about the baby, but he had taken a deep interest in her again.

Midori realized she was staring into space and shook her head. "What? Sorry, I - I'm so tired."

"I know Harry has only ever tried to make me happy. And of course I would stay with him. Earlier when Draco had come back for that month or so, the only thing that kept me really to him since I love them both was the girls. But now I'm having a baby with Harry so...yea....I hope you're right about Harry coming back and why he's been away. I'm just scared that he will come back, and that so will Ginny, and that he'll go off with her instead of me." She sighed.

When Midori went quiet she was thinking about why. "Mi, it feels like you're not telling me everything, like your keeping something from me. You know you can tell me anything." She said.

"Lucy, I know Harry will be back. He loves you too much to stay away. I'm sure the aurors had an emergency. I know he'll come as soon as he can. He's too much of a nice guy to ditch a girl in need," Midori reassured her.

A stabbing pain of guilt hit her in the chest. "Hmm? It's nothing really. I mean - it is very much something, but... I just don't want to ruin my time with you. I hate seeing you cry Lucy. And I know... if you aren't mad at Draco, then you'll be mad at me." She knew she'd said too much already. Now Lucy looked hurt and curious. Midori didn't want to say anything more.

Suddenly, as if sensing the need for a distraction, Mercy began crying. Midori looked up to see Kisa hit her right in the face.

"Kisa Sohma!" Midori raised her voice firmly. "What did you just do?" Midori got up from the couch and picked Kisa up. Realizing that her mum was very upset with her, Kiki began to cry. Midori plopped her down in a corner of the room. "You made a very bad choice. You do not hit anyone, especially your friends! That was not nice at all Kiki. Now, you sit here for ten minutes and think about what you just did."

Midori hurried back over to Mercy and picked her up. "Shh, it's ok little angel. Oh, is my Kiki being a big bully? Huh? Yeah, she's being a meanie. I'm so sorry honey. Yes, aunite's sorry." She gave Mercy a big kiss where Kiki had hit her. "There all better?" She tickled Mercy's tummy to make her giggle, then set her back down to play.

She sat back down on the couch with Lucy. "Toddlers."

"Yeah...I know.."

When Midori went to put Kiki in the corner and kiss Mercy's cheek, Lucy felt as if she were glued to the spot that she was in.

As soon as Midori was back to their conversation, she opened her mouth a few times before she could actually get the words out. "Midori, just tell me. What's gonig on, or what happened bewteen you and Draco. Please, I have a right to know." When Midori had told her that she'd probably be mad at Draco or her, she was confused and didn't know what to think about any of it. "It would be better for you to tell me now then for me to find out from someone else later." She paused for a moment before continueing. "Look, you know me well enough so if you say I'll be mad then I might, but at least I'd be more forgiving if you just told me and not try to hide it. You're like my sister, I've told you everything and up until now I'm pretty sure you've told me everything. Besides, with Draco not here it's not like it would even matter that much. Especially since it seems like he's never coming back." Tears were in her eyes but she was determined not to let her friend see her cry anymore.

Midori sighed. She really didn't want to say anything, but knowing Lucy, it would be better to just get it over with. She took a deep breath then started. "Alright... but i don't want this to ruin our night. I just feel so bad about it."

"You know that I know his aunt, Bella. I found out that I'm pregnant with Draco's baby and he kept ignoring me. So I went to tell Bella, just to give him a message from me. It turns out that he was there. He tried to go hide out, but once I told Bella what was happening, she dragged him out and made him speak to me. We talked for a long, long time. We both cried a lot. I ended up staying for a few days. We even had a healer called in to look at the baby inside me because Draco was just curious. When he saw it, he got really... happy. He wanted to play with Kiki and Aki then too. Eventually, he totally broke down. He said he knew he was ready to be a father for sure. In a few weeks, he's going to come get me. He's getting a house ready for us."

Midori looked away from Lucy. She couldn't bear to see her friend's face.

"He's ready to be a father for your child, but can't even stick around for more then two months for the two girls he already has?!" Lucy was outraged, mad, sad, upset...pretty much everything bad. She started pacing, not able to stay still and not able to look at Midori.

"The pregnancy is fine...but you're going to move in with him!" Lucy said, raising her voice a little. All four little ones looked up at their mommies, startled.

The young mother felt for the chain on her neck. She had kept the necklace Draco had given her when he asked her out, and it had her wedding ring on it. Part of her was afraid to let it go, hoping that he would come back and things could go back to how they were before. However, now there was no hope of that. Lucy ripped the chain off her neck and through it across the room.

A box of tissues appeared next to her and she grabbed a few to dry her endless tears.

Hopefully after she calmed down they could go back to being best friends, but right now she was too upset to think straight. If given the choice she'd probably kill the next person who made her cry.

"Lucy, I - I'm so sorry. If there's anything I can do for you, anything at all, just tell me. Maybe I can get Draco to talk with you. He said he's having a hard time facing you. I guess it's, well, I know personally how hard it is to love someone you're not truly in love with. Trying to stay, praying it'll get better - then it all falls apart. It's not easy. But Lucy, you have a wonderful boy who does love you very much! I know Harry would give up everything for you! He's willing to give you and your girls everything he's got to prove that he'll be there forever. I'm so sorry that Draco's being such an ass. And you know what? He doesn't deserve you! Look at you, you're gorgeous, smart, a brilliant mum, funny, playful and you have the best personality. Draco doesn't deserve all that, Harry does. harry's been through so much hell, he needs you as his sunshine in his life."

Midori felt so terrible. She knew that Draco didn't care for Lucy the way he should, but Harry loved beyond imagination. It made her sad. She'd been through the exact same thing with Sam. Then she'd found Draco, and for some odd reason, everything had clicked. Midori loved him so very much, but it tore her apart to see what he was doing to Lucy.

Then, trying ot give her friend some space, she went over to Kisa. "Hey sweet=pea. You remembre why you're here? It's because you hit Mercy, and that isn't nice at all. You never hit anybody. It hurt them, and it hurts their feelings. You're a very nice girl, you don't need to hit. Use your words, not your hands, ok?" Kisa agreed and Midori gave her a big hug. "There we go. I still love you princess. Yep! Ok, let's go play." She brought her over to the others. "Kiki, can you say sorry to Mercy? Please?" She did it, and gave Mercy a hug too. Midori giggled. "Thank you sweetness." Then she noticed that April looked worried. "Hey you!" Midori tickled her tummy. "What's up? Aw, are you scared for mommy? Huh? It's ok! She'll be alright! Yeah. She's just very sad right now. But she'll be fine. 'Kay?" Midori got April's attention back to the others.

Now she wasn't sure what to do. She didn't know whether to go sit with Lucy or keep her distance. She decided to wait to see what mood lucy was in.

Lucy wasn't paying attention to what Midori was doing, and was trying her best to pay attention to what she was saying, even if it wasn't what she wanted to hear.
True, she didn't love Draco as much as she used to, but she still loved him deep down. He had her virginity to so many things and everything they shared. That and she had the girls.

"I knew I wasn't ready for kids. But you know what Draco said? He said that he would be there the whole way, right beside me. He said that it would be great since they'd be ours, and it would show our love for each other. Then I was the idiot and believed him." She was talking in barely more then a whisper and wasn't sure if Midori could hear her or not.

"And Harry has Abby. He probably doesn't need me. He probably just used me like Draco had!" Her whole life was swimming into doubt now. "Now Harry's gone...it's history repeating itself..."

"What?" Midori decided to go sit on the couch with Lucy. "Harry can't have Abby... he loves you too much! He and Abby are just good friends. A while back, he promised her he'd take care of her since she had no one. That was back when Draco was here. Harry never breaks a promise, so he's helping her out. I know that's what it is. He loves you so, so much Lucy. Don't give up."

Akito crawled up to the girls, wondering what was happening. He knew his mum was upset. "Hey pirnce charming," she smiled and lifted him up. "Aw, did you come here to make us better? Hmm? Yeah, that's my boy." She gave him a huge kiss and he giggled. "That's mommy's snuggle muffin! Hey, why don't you go get auntie Lucy? I think she could use some snuggles now."

"I'm starting to give up hope. I have two kids and pregnant and im only 13! What does that say to you?!" She grabbed a few more tissues and completely dried her face.

Lucy didn't really wanna be around kids right now, but she couldn't help but to pick Akito up and sat next to Midori. "Hey baby!" She smiled.

"Midori, I know I'm kinda mad at you, but thanks for telling me. Even if you didn't want to." True, she was really mad at her friend right now, but there was nothing she could do. Draco just didn't love her, it brought tears to her eyes but hopefully Harry would be coming back soon.


((ooc: btw, when IS he coming back? do u know?))

((muwahaha i found you!))

"Aw, don't give up hope babe!" Harry said as he came into the room. Lucy's shock and delight brought tears to his eyes. He ran up to her, and picked her up, kissing her face all over. "I love you so much babe! I'm sorry I've been gone for so long." He gave her a huge kiss. Then he realized he'd squished Midori's little boy. "Oops.. sorry buddy! Yeah, Harry's sorry. How are you big boy? I haven't seen you since you were born! My goodness you're big!" Harry gave the little dude a big kiss.

Lucy didn't know what to say when Harry came in. She was shocked and happy, but what would she tell him. Since Draco came back and told her his side of the story, which also agreed with Midori's story, just what it was like to him and the curse and all, and her husband told her not to hang out with Harry, especially since Harry had gotten her pregnant. “Oh, hi Harry. Where did you go? I was worried sick about you!” She let him kiss her but was way too confused to kiss back. She loved Harry, really, she did, but she loved Draco, and Draco was cutting off contact with Midori for her...

"I'm so, so sorry baby! We had an emergency death eater problem - there were little kids involved. And you know how the ministry is today - it took them forever to sort anything out. I'm just so glad to be back!" He held her tight. "Is something wrong babe?"

Midori got up off the couch. She went to the corner of the room where a cup of coffee and the book Twilight appeared. She nestled down into a small beanbag chair and blocked out Harry and Lucy's conversation. Seeing them was too much for her to take. She looked over at her children. They seemed fine, so Midori slunk to the door to go to the bathroom.

Lucy looked away from him. “Oh, right...at least you're back now.” It broke her heart knowing what she had to tell him. “Look, Harry. We need to talk...or, I need to tell you something.” She paused and looked back up at him with sad eyes. “I—I'm not supposed to see you anymore...” The girl knew he was probably confused so took a deep breath and decided that the truth would be best.

“Draco came back. It wasn't too long ago and he confessed to a few things that Midori had told me, but he told me the truth. I made him promise not to even have friendly conversation with him, unless he wanted to loose me. He promise, but I also told him what happened between us...” She closed her eyes tight in frustration, she had to tell him she was pregnant, and that he was the father, but that was part of her promise to her husband, to not tell him. “I told him about us sleeping together, and he wasn't too happy. But he was willing to forgive me, as long as I didn't hang out with you. I agreed, but I still really like you. I want to hang out with you, but it would put my marriage on the line, so much has already happened...and...Oh god Harry, I'm so sorry. This whole love triangle has gotten out of hand!” She buried her face in his neck and kissed it, not sure of his reaction. Lucy just couldn't stand to hurt him again, she couldn't bare to watch him cry any more. It broke her heart but there wasn't much she could do.

Midori listened a little as she made her way to the door. She needed to talk to Draco. Now. What was he thinking? He'd promised her that she was his. And now he went off and threatened Lucy? What was going on? She was so confused. She opened the door. She had only taken a few steps out when she ran into something. Midori looked up angrily, and then froze. "Draco...?" "Shhh," he said softly. "Hey what's up you? I've missed you." He held her close. "I love you. Come on, let's go." "What? where?" As he scooped her up she snuggled into him. "Somewhere. I don't know - anywhere away from here. And Bella wants to see you, and see how our baby's doing," he said, kissing her. "How is it by the way?" "Fine," she whispered. "But... I can't go. The twins are still in there!" She protested. "Oh? Sorry!" He took her back. "Go get them then - I want to see how they are too! Just be fast please. I can't stand another minute here." Midori was so confused. She snuck back into the room and picked up the twins, trying so hard not to disturb Harry and Lucy. She had no clue what Draco was up to, but she knew that the chicken probably wanted to leave quickly so he wouldn't have to deal with Lucy's wrath.She couldn't feel sorry for him since he'd created this mess all on his own. She silently shut the door. She handed Kiki to Draco. "Aw, there's my big girl!" Draco kissed her and kiki giggled happily. "Dad-dad!" She said, snuggling into him. "Yeah," Draco smiled. "Come on. Let's get you guys home, huh?" Midori let herself be guided off, completely dazed.

Harry watched Midori go, curiously. She seemed to be in a hurry but for what, he couldn't imagine. He looked back at Lucy. "What...? Are you saying...are you saying you're done with me? You don't want me anymore?" He held her, playing with her hair trying to think of something to do. "I'll do whatever it takes Lucy. What do you need me to do? I'll do anything," he said desperatly. "I love you. I can't loose you." His eyes welled up with tears. "Whatever you need... even if it means killing Draco."

Lucy also watched Midori leave, wondering what was up with the girl. When Harry started talking again, she looked back up at him with watery eyes. "Harry...I DO want you, but...I.." She stopped, not sure what to say. "When you left I thought you were gone for good, like history repeating itself. I couldn't take that. I was stuck pregnant again and alone, I was scared. Then Draco came back...At first.." She stopped again, wonding if he could figure out the child was his since she mentioned that she was pregnant and alone, right after they slept together. "At first I though he would be mad because of what we did...but he wanted me back. He started crying and...it's obvious that I love you because Draco can tell, that's why he doesn't want me to see you. But..I don't know. I want you...I love you Harry!" Lucy wasn't even sure exactly how much Draco loved her after everything he had done to hurt her, and without explanation as to why he disappeared. But Harry told her the truth, and didn't say he hated her for whatever reason like Draco had done in this very room.

Draco walked into the room of requirement looking for his wife. He was thrown off as Midori practically threw hereself at him. Pushing her off he cursed. "Blimey get away from me.I have to speak to Lucy MY WIFE." He said loudly letting the words echo into her head. " I'm not with you anymore and I bloody don't care what you try and do about it."

Hearing the voice of his beloved Draco pushed the door open loudly seeing Harry and Lucy sitting there so close to his dreaded enemy. "What the bloody hell is going on here Luc?" He asked having heard her proclamation of love to Harry. "So everything you told me this past week has. . . has been a bloody lie?" The look of hurt in his eyes shone as he looked at Lucy realizing what was truly going on here. "I I don't know what to say. Am I never going to be enough for you, I mean shit we were going to renew our vows tomorrow and here you are. I fall asleep and find you here with him. Perhaps I should be the one to die, then perhaps everything would be well. You could have Harry whom you obviously want by the look of things. Midori and my aunt would leave me alone finally seeing as I'd be dead. Sam would quit bugging me about why his wife never writes and I well I'd be gone. Brilliant idea wouldn't you say."

Lucy completely froze seeing Draco. This couldn't be happening, it HAD to be a nightmare. “D-Draco...it's not what it looks like.” She listened to everything he said, all the stuff about him dying and all. “Dammit Draco! Would you just listen to me! I was talking to Midori...stuff about YOU and her, remember that? You sleeping with her, claiming she drugged you. I never once doubted you, I always believed you. You kept vanished, you yelled at me, you told me you HATED me, but I took you back. Now I'm going to make you listen to me.”

She looked over at Harry once, before getting up and away from him. This was all too much. “I was in here talking with Midori, and that's when Harry came in. He saw me and ran for me, he hugged me and kissed me, but I didn't kiss back. I told him what was going on between you and me. I told him that I was sorry but I wasn't allowed to see him. That I did love him, but I love you. That I married you and I was going to listen to you and not see him, not sneak around, because of you. I didn't want to do that to our marriage.”

The girl stopped again and took a deep breath. “Don't you dare say that Draco! You know I would care if you died. You vanished and I almost killed myself, what do you think I would do if you died?! None the less if you KILLED yourself! You know I love you, and if you don't believe me then I don't see why you married me in the first place.”

She walked over to April who had started crying, and picked Mercy up to. “I'm going to send you two with the house elves alright. Yeah, everything will be alright. Mommy just needs to talk to Daddy and Harry. I love you both, and so does Daddy, alright. Don't forget that, no matter what happens.” She kissed them both and hugged them tightly before the house elves came and took them to the girls' dorm in the Slytherin Common Room. Then Lucy walked back over, standing between Draco and Harry.

Draco snorted. "Could have fooled me because all I heard was I want you Harry, I love you. . . Forgive me for getting so upset." He said crossing his arms still upset.

He stood there his gaze transfixed on his wife as he listened to her explanation. How could this be happening to them, after all they had just overcome. "That all is the truth! I wouldn't lie to you, ever. Luc, you have to know I NEVER meant what I said. I have never hated you, and it's broken me up inside ever since I even said that." Draco began to pace feeling torn with emotions.

Walking closer to Lucy his look softened seeing her sweet face knowing she spoke the truth. "I'm sorry its just, it just didn't look good. I do trust you princess, you must know this." He said taking her small hand into his.

Placing a small kiss on each of his girls heads he watched as the houselves took them safely out of the room. "Bye angels." he called to them.

"So now that everyone has heard this. And if we're alright angel, can we please straighten things up and make them the way they're supposed to!?" He said knowing Midori had most likely snuck into the room. "No matter what anyone says or thinks I love my wife. Her and her alone. I'll let her speak on her behalf but this is bloody enough I'm going bonkers just thinking of the mess we've all been in. I just want things back how they're supposed to be!" He said speaking to all in the room.

“O please! I watched you KISS Midori before we got together. I know we've talked about it and got past it, but is still happened! It still hurt!” Tears were streaming for her eyes and all she wanted to do was run as far away as possible.

Lucy looked away from her husband. “I know you never meant it, but you still said it.” She remembered that time too well, he had yelled at her, told her he hated her, and almost left her to die. “I'm just saying that if I can believe you after all of that, you should be able to believe me now!” Which was the truth.

She nodded. “I know it probably didn't, and I understand what you were probably thinking. That's how I was when I first heard about what happened with you and Midori.” Lucy felt bad with all this happening in front of Harry, but there was nothing she could do. After all, her and Draco had just almost split, but thankfully that wasn't happening.

The girl knew she was supposed to speak, supposed to say something, but she couldn't bring herself to it. She didn't know what to say. She just looked down and nodded as Draco talked, standing beside her husband.

"Yes well, I'm sorry. It was a bloody foolish mistake!" Goodness they'd been through way too much in their short time together. He hated to see her cry, honestly it tore him in two every time he saw Lucy in tears. All he wanted at that moment was to scoop her up and take her away from this insanity.

"I did, and its one of the things that no matter how much I try I cannot erase. I was so bloody angry at the whole situation I said it. If there were someway I could, I would make it right, but I cannot other then to say I'm sorry. Baby I do believe you, I trust you with all my heart. All that I am. Please, please trust me." He was willing to do whatever it had to keep her with him, after all they'd been through he wasn't going to lose her now.

"Thank you." He whispered squeezing her hand then leaned down to place a kiss on her lips quickly uncaring who saw him.

Draco looked from Lucy to Harry to Midori. "I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused in this whole bloody mess. The truth of the situation is I'm with Lucy, I love her more then life itself and no ones taking her away from me. You may say whatever you like, but our wish is that you would leave us in peace. Midori I know what I told you but honestly I said what was needed at the moment as I knew my aunt wouldn't let me leave until I said it. It was all lies, forgive me for the dishonesty but after what you've done to me, lets say we're even. Please for the love of Sam go find him! He's here and he's not quiet thrilled to know his wife is still trying to go after his bestfriend."
He said placing a protective arm around Lucy.

“Yea, your telling me.” She said honestly, drying her face to no effect due to the tears that were still falling. Lucy didn't like crying, although she did it a lot, she just couldn't help it.

She wanted to shake her head, after all of that, him saying he hated her, that was what she had been dreading, yet expecting. She was a dumb girl with a screwed up life, she still didn't know why Draco, or Harry for that matter, liked her. So, when he said he hated her, it seemed right. Lucy even hated herself a lot at times. “I know you would.” Was all she said in a whisper. “I do trust you, or at least I really want to. But whenever you see me with someone else, you get all jealous and always think the worst. It's hard to believe, in those times, that you really do, completely trust me.” She said honestly.

Lucy wasn't sure what she should do or say to that. She looked over at Midori, then over to Harry. She knew it would break his heart, but what could she do. It was either have Harry hurt, or have her marriage out the window. Plus, she still had all her hormones raging from being pregnant.

Harry glared evilly at Draco. He wanted nothing more then to kill him where he stood. "Really? Are you sure Lucy wants you? She's probably too afraid of you to speak her mind about anything. Just look how you treated Midori!" Harry said, helping the poor sobbing girl off the floor whee Draco had shoved her. "Shhh, it's ok," he said softly to her. " I promise. Let me take care of this bastard then I'll get Sam, alright? Stay here for now." He turned back to face Malfoy. "You bloody jerk. Look what you've done to your own wife! I've always been there for her, and you cheat on her with not one, but TWO girls?! You call THAT love?! Maybe for a death eater that's the best you can do, but where I come from that's NOT how we do it. Take your filthy hands off her, you vile, foul, filthy git!" Harry went up to Lucy, and took her precious face in his hands, sobbing. "I love you Lucy. More then he ever can. More then he ever will. I'll never harm you. I'll never let anyone else harm you. I'll take care of you until the day you die. Lucy.... I love you. Does that mean nothing? I LOVE you!" Harry kissed her deeply then backed away. "Let her choose Malfoy. It's up to her - not us. But Lucy, if you choose him... I'm sorry. I very sorry. I may not be able to speak with you anymore. SOME people are more protective then others."

Now that wasn't what Lucy was expecting. She wasn't sure what to do. After Harry kissed her and after he told her to choose, she started backing up, shaking her head. "I...I can't do that..." She said, hitting the back wall. Her next option was to run and never look back. She was married to Draco, she loved him, but she just couldn't let go of him cheating, him telling her he hated her, him kissing, then sleeping, with Midori. On the other hand, Harry had been there for her, he had never hurt her. So the logic was to go with Harry, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she just stuttered and stood there like an idiot.

"Lucy... you need to choose. This can't go on babe, you know that. I love you so much." Tears began streaming down Harry's face. "I can't stand the thought of never talking to you! But i know as sure as hell that HE won't let me. You're so special Lucy. Look... I won't try to tell you to choose me. If you want Draco, you're welcome to him. But he better be one hell of a father to that baby that's inside you right now. He'll be filling in for me." He let out a sob. "Just remember what I've always said to you Lucy. The one who makes you cry isn't worth your tears. The one who's worth your tears would never make you cry." Little Mercy wandered up to Harry and feel onto his foot. He was shocked. He lifted her up. She reached out a tiny hand and touched his face. "Dada?" Harry held her close, sobbing. "Hey Mercy. I'm kinda sad right now. But I'll be ok. Now that you're here, Im great." He tried to smile for the little one.

If it wasn't for the fact that she had two girls and was prenant than Lucy would have choosen neither, but she couldn't raise three kids by herself. "I...I choose..." She stopped, thinking. "I think the girls should choose who their father is. They'll have to live with him too. So I say that you should each hang out with both girls..." Lucy cut off getting a really big crap in her stomach. "anyways...hang out with both girls and let them choose which they like better." She proposed as a hopeful idea, hoping they wouldn't shoot it down.
