A week after the incident with Guy, Draco finally allowed the man to come by the cottage again. Scorpius was spending more and more time with Harry, which was nice in Draco's eyes. The boy had been without his other father too long. Draco hadn't thought too much more on his conversation with Harry in the grocery store, but still an unpleasant feeling hung heavy in his stomach. Brushing away the feeling for the thousandth time, Draco heard the fireplace roar to life. Guy was there.
"Draco? Where are you, love?"
"In the kitchen," Draco called back. Mentally he sighed.
"I have missed you. Where is Scorpius?"
"He is with Harry again." Draco leaned over and kissed Guy. Guy took the initiative to pull Draco to his body and deepen the kiss.
"No. We can't." Draco pulled back and carefully pushed himself away from Guy.
"And why can't we?" Guy pouted slightly.
"I'm not ready." Guy shrugged as Draco turned away from him.
A minute passed before Guy spoke again. "Draco?"
"Yes?" Draco turned only to find Guy on his knee and holding out a ring.
"I did have a proposal that was perfect for you, but I missed my time for that. Now, all I ask is for you to marry me and continue to make me happy. It will just be you and me."
Draco felt an unplaced emotion wash over him. This was what he'd been waiting for, the chance to be happy. However, this was not right. He faltered with the last sentence, "'It will just be you and me.'" He would not send his son away for anyone. He needed someone who loved his son and him. He needed someone like…
"Guy, I do like you. You've been good to me. I would love to accept your proposal." Draco paused and took a breath. Guy smiled and stood to wrap his arms around Draco.
"No. Don't hug me." Guy stepped back in confusion.
"Why not? We are engaged now!"
"I wasn't finished." Draco's tone held an iciness it hadn't in years. "I can't marry you. It's not right for me. You're not right for me and you never will be. I'm sorry."
"Draco Malfoy, you are making the greatest mistake of your life! You will never find anyone better than me for you. And that brat you have is worthless. You are worthless. Good day." Guy stormed off through the Floo and Draco sat heavily on a chair.
"Wow," he said into the crackling air. Relief came in waves over him and the metaphorical weights were lifted off his person. He needed to tell Scorpius and Harry. Checking the clock, Draco stood and apparated as near to Harry's flat as he could get.
Draco frantically knocked on the door of the flat Harry lived in. He wished more than anything Harry would answer soon. He was not met with Harry when the door finally opened, but Ginny.
"Draco! What are you doing here?"
"I need to see Harry. Is he here?" Draco said breathlessly.
"He's out at the park with Scorpius right now. Why don't you come in?"
"Can't. I have to see him now. Thanks Ginny!" Draco ran down the hall as fast as his legs would carry him and left a confused Ginny in his wake.
"You're welcome," She said to the air.
Out of breath and with a stitch in his side, Draco finally spotted Harry and Scorpius running around and tossing a Quaffle between them.
"Harry!" Draco called to the man. Automatically Harry stopped and turned toward the noise.
"Draco? What's wrong?" Harry and Scorupius ran to meet Draco.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Draco doubled over panting to catch his breath.
"Father, did you run all the way here?"
"Just- from-the-flat."
"I thought you were busy today," Harry said.
"Not anymore. Harry, come here you stupid git." Draco pulled Harry forward abruptly and crushed his lips against those he missed so much.
Harry responded instantly and wrapped his arms around his former husband's waist. They poured their emotions from the years passed into the kiss. The missing pieces of Draco fit themselves back together. This was the only right thing for him. Harry would always be right.
"That was unexpected," Harry laughed.
"He asked me to marry him, but I said no. He ended up being a right bastard."
"So does that mean we'll be a family again?" Scorpius asked.
"I sure hope so." Draco smiled at his son and then at the man he knew he would forever love.
AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END!

A/N: Soooo… that was a pretty suck and anti-climactic end to this fic. Truth is, I wanted to be done with it now and I began to hate the way this was turning out. I tried to end with some dignity, but meh. Sorry that it has ended so poorly after starting with so much promise. Perhaps in the future I will re-write this and re-post. Sorry once again and if you do like my writing, check out my other fics.
