******** ******** ******** Epilogue ******** ******** ********

Harry looked down at his newborn daughter. She looked so delicate lying in her bassinet. He was reminded of how he'd felt when Lyra and Caelum had been born – blessed…and the Malfoy-Potters had been blessed once again. He barely recalled his anger at Lucius now because of the newfound amiability the older man had been showing for the last several years. Harry thought back, as he stroked her soft dark hair, to the last few days.

When they'd arrived at Nettlestone that afternoon, Harry had been in such a panicked state.

Lucius had taken control of the situation and calmed him instantly. Once the Healer had been called, Narcissa asked an elf for tea and joined them until the examination was finished. His in-laws tried to distract him with talk of their future trip to a Malfoy property in France.

Harry was summoned to his husband's bedside just in time for the Healer to inform them that Draco's birth canal was beginning to develop. The Healer then told Harry to keep Draco calm for the next several days as the blond would need his energy for the birth.

"Even with it being another surgical procedure, Draco will need his strength." She'd said.

Harry had simply nodded and called Kreacher for the floo powder. True to her word, the Healer had floo-called every morning and it took almost a week before Harry could inform her that Draco had begun to feel contractions. The Healer and her assistant arrived within minutes and quickly set up the tools of their trade.

Harry refused to leave Draco's side this time. He told the healer that he could handle whatever went on in the birthing room just as long as Draco made it out alive and well.

She'd looked him in the eye and seemed to evaluate him for a moment before nodding her approval. "I've heard tell of the things you witnessed during the war, Mr. Malfoy-Potter. I believe you." She then handed him sanitary robes and insisted he change. "I'll numb the area before making the cut. Your job is to keep him calm and focused on you."

"I can do that." Harry grinned and ducked into the ensuite bathroom to change clothes while Casey set about disinfecting the incision site.

When he returned to the bedroom, the Healer told him what to expect. "When I've healed the incision, I'll give him the first dose of a potion which he will need a spoonful of every four hours until tomorrow night. It will kill the pain and help the skin knit itself back together."

"Is that the same potion he was given last time?" Harry asked with a frown. "Will he sleep a lot?"

"I'm not certain because the reaction is different every time." She said softly. "Most people sleep for a short while after the first dose but, last time, Draco was able to stay awake for the introduction of the twins to their father and grandparents. I believe it was the exertion from trying to birth the twins naturally that tired him."

She waited for Harry to take his place next to his husband before casting the numbing spell. Once Harry had Draco deeply involved in conversation, she made the incision and began the procedure.

The surgery went off without a hitch. Harry watched as the Healer's assistant handed instruments over and then cleaned the instruments when the Healer was finished with them. He watched as his daughter was lifted from Draco's body and handed gently to the assistant who quickly cleaned the infant and handed her to Harry. He'd been too busy becoming fascinated by the small being in his arms to pay much attention to the Healer after that.

At some point, Harry watched as the Healer handed Draco a vial and advised him to drink. Draco was slowly becoming drowsy but stubbornly insisted on making Harry count their child's fingers and toes so he could watch.

"Don't…without me…Harry…" Draco whispered as he reluctantly drifted off into slumber once the baby was swaddled again.

That had only been moments ago and he was now hearing a soft knock on the door. He laid his daughter down into her bassinet making sure the swaddling clothes hadn't come unraveled before quietly opening the door.

"Lucius." Harry nodded respectfully glancing behind his father-in-law to see that the Weasleys were present.

Arthur and Molly stood just behind Lucius and Narcissa while Ron and Hermione waved from down the hall. His best friends each had hold of one of his children while Teddy was up on Ron's shoulders. Teddy waved enthusiastically and called out his name but Harry quickly placed one finger on his own lips to hush the boy.

Harry took a step outside the room and closed the door. "Thank you all so much for joining us again. Draco's just taken a potion for the pain and he's not yet awakened from it."

"How is he?" Narcissa asked.

Harry could see the hint of worry flickering in her eyes so he took her hand. "He's doing fine but he's asked me not to begin the introductions without him."

"Oh…" She bit her lip almost imperceptibly. "I suppose it is his right but I'd like to get at least a glimpse of her. Can't we just take a peek?"

"Cissa, get the Weasleys set up downstairs while I have a short word with Harry." Lucius said mildly. When he turned around, Harry was no longer there. The brunette was on his knees beside Teddy and Caelum speaking to them and Lyra. He listened as Harry explained that 'Daddy was sleepy but would wake up soon' and they would 'call for them as soon as they could but the little ones should stay with their aunt and uncle for a little while longer'.

When the children had gone quiet, Ron and Hermione led them away to play in the back yard.

Harry smiled at his myriad of guests as they trooped down the stairs before turning to speak with Lucius again.

L******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ********

Draco stirred, awakened by the unmistakable sound of Harry's stubbornness.

"No." Harry was saying in a calm but determined tone. "We're waiting until he wakes up this time and that's final… besides, the family hasn't even seen them yet."

"Yes, yes… that's first of course but immediately after the family sees her she must be presented to the elves – whether Draco is awake or not." Lucius huffed and Draco could picture his father's furious expression as he spoke. "It's tradition! The elves must meet the new addition before the household sleeps the night of the birth!"

"Draco missed the twins' presentation to the elves entirely and…" Harry sighed heavily. "You didn't see how deeply disappointed he was when I showed it to him in the pensieve! No! I won't let this be taken from him again!"

This brought tears to Draco's eyes as he recalled watching his firstborn children be presented by his parents instead of doing it himself. It was the Malfoy heir's right and privilege to present his children to his elven servants and he'd been allowed to sleep through it. Choked up as he was, Draco cleared his throat and Harry was beside him in an instant.

"Are you alright? How do you feel? Are you in pain?" Harry asked in his worried rapid-fire way. "Can I do anything?"

"Harry?" Draco smiled sweetly and waited for his silly husband to lean in close. When the brunette didn't get close enough Draco pulled him closer still and kissed Harry's cheek before donning his trademark smirk. "How do you expect me to answer if you don't even stop to take a breath?"

Harry chuckled and made a show of breathing in and out. "Better, love?"

Draco nodded and proceeded to answer the previously asked questions. "I'm just fine, Harry. The pain is minimal and I feel lighter and much more energized than I did after the twins' birth."

Harry silently praised the gods as he kissed Draco's temple.

"Where is she, Harry?" The blond asked, and looking around he saw the healer and her assistant. They seemed to be filling out paperwork.

"She's in her bassinette, love. The healer will bring her to you in a moment…relax." Harry told his husband softly.

Draco was itching to hold his daughter and began fidgeting until the healer finally set the tiny pink and silver wrapped bundle in his arms. "Have you told them yet, Harry?"

Green eyes shimmered as Harry shook his head. "I wanted you awake for it."

"Can we get on with it now?" Lucius was practically growling but a newly arrived Narcissa calmed him with a mild glare.

"Yes, Father. Family first and then the elves." Draco smiled contentedly as he stroked the baby's soft head.

The older man nodded formally and opened the door to call in Arthur and Molly Weasley.

The redheaded couple was grinning as they approached the bed. Molly took hold of Harry's hand and pulled him close for a hug.

"Oh, she's lovely, boys!" Arthur brushed the baby's cheek with his fingertips. "This dark hair…It's so like Harry's, but it feels so soft and fine!"

"What's her name?" Molly asked excitedly as Draco allowed her to take the baby. "I think you've kept it secret long enough."

Harry chuckled and motioned for Draco to do the honors.

The blond beamed and finally spoke the name they'd decided on just a couple of months ago. "We'd like you all to meet Silvana Orchid Malfoy-Potter."

Narcissa's blue eyes shone as she recognized the flower as the one on the necklace they'd received from Lily and James last Christmas. She'd known 'Orchid' would be included somewhere. "What a beautiful name, Draco! Harry, we can guess where the inspiration came from for her middle name but what about 'Silvana'? Was it anything to do with the necklace being silver, or the spell glowing silver before pink?"

Molly grudgingly allowed the other woman to take Silvana from her arms.

Nodding, Harry bit his lip. He was a little embarrassed to admit this. "All of that and more… you see, my favorite feature of Draco's is his eyes…those bright silver eyes…"

"You didn't tell me that was the reason you wanted that name!" Draco felt his cheeks heat up as he gasped quietly. "I thought it was because Aunt Altaira's baby who died with her was going to be named Silvana."

"It's true…Altaira helped me get through some issues after Andromeda passed and she'd told me during one of our conversations what she'd wanted her daughter to be named." Harry nodded thoughtfully. "I remember thinking after that conversation that Silvana was a beautiful name…and it sort of fit because the necklace was silver and the spell had glowed the same silver as your eyes when we're… alone…"

Draco's cheeks flushed as he realized what Harry meant.

"Silver is also bright and shiny and beautiful …and 'Silvana' as a name references all of that." The brunette was watching Lucius hold the newest member of the family as he continued. "But that isn't all…"

Narcissa looked at him curiously. "Really, Harry?"

The brunette nodded. "I did a little research into the meaning of the orchid and after discovering that it symbolizes love, fertility, luxury, beauty, wisdom, and thoughtfulness…it turns out that there's an actual version of the orchid flower that is named silvana."

"That sounds familiar…" Draco said frowning softly as he dug into his memory. "In ancient Greece, men would eat a large orchid tuber to be sure their child would be a boy. Women…or Bearers…would eat several small tubers to make it a girl."

"Hmmm… I also think 'Silvana' sounds elegant and sophisticated…like…" Harry hesitated but continued. "Well, like all of your names – Lucius…Narcissa…Draconis…Lyra…Caelum."

"It's a lovely name, Harry." Molly smiled at him. "It fits well with all the members of her family."

"Where are Lyra and Caelum?" Draco asked looking around for their older children and taking the focus off Harry for a moment. "Where's Teddy?"

"Mione and Ron have them, love." Harry smiled at him. "They'll be next to join us and then the kids will stay here until the elf presentation is over. I don't want them left out of the ceremony." He glanced over at Lucius. "No matter their ages."

The elder Malfoy gave in gracefully with a slight nod and Draco sighed happily. His dominant husband had everything under control and he could relax.

Arthur grinned down at the baby. "Something else is silver, boys…"

Draco frowned at the older man. "What do you mean?"

Arthur passed the newborn back to her bearer and waited. Lucius frowned having obviously missed something. Narcissa and Molly were just curiously looking on.

Draco saw it instantly. "Her eyes! Harry, Silvana's eyes match mine!"

"Amazing!" Harry leaned in to see. "The twins' eyes didn't even change this quickly."

"Dark hair…silver eyes…" Draco was stunned as he gave a chuckle. "What a striking combination…"

"Didn't you speculate once that we'd make a child with this exact coloring?" Harry smirked recalling the day before Draco's official graduation party. "You had just come home from taking your last NEWT…"

Draco's eyes locked with Harry's. "We spent a little time with the twins and I said that maybe someday we would have a child with your dark hair and my grey eyes…"

Harry's smirk widened to a grin as Draco blushed again and they both recalled what that remark had led to. "You must have seer blood."

"Or perhaps it was just wishful thinking that happened to come true…" Draco whispered, knowing how his husband would react.

Harry didn't disappoint. He bit his lip hard and teared up a little as the fire sparked in his eyes before he stole a fast but deep kiss from the blond.

Draco's parents left quietly with Molly and Arthur and were quickly replaced by Harry's best friends who brought Teddy, Lyra and Caelum in to see their parents. Hermione had Caelum in one arm and Teddy's hand in one of hers while Ron held Lyra in his arms.

"Hello, my darlings!" Draco called out as soon as he saw them.

Teddy waved happily at his godfather's husband and climbed up to sit at the end of the bed.

"Daddy!" Lyra squirmed and tried to lunge out at Draco as soon as they were close enough.

Harry circumvented that by scooping her up. "Lyra, can Papa talk to you for a bit?"

She whimpered and whispered. "Daddy."

"We'll sit next to Daddy, ok?" He asked the three year old as he sat down within reach of his husband who reached out to hold the baby's hand. "Lyra, you and Caelum now have a little sister. Do you remember a little while ago we told you she was coming?"

She nodded as Hermione sat on Draco's other side with Caelum in her lap.

"Baby!" Caelum spoke softly as always while pointing to the pink bundle in his Daddy's arms.

"Her name is Silvana and Daddy is holding her right now, Lyra. You need to be calm and gentle with her so we have to have rules." Harry told the twins and saw Teddy mouthing the name. "The first rule is: no jumping on Daddy or Papa while they're holding her."

"Sew-ana?" Lyra frowned and shook her head.

Harry sounded it out for her while letting her see his mouth move. That always seemed to help. "Sil-vana."

Caelum tried to lean in close to see the new baby while simultaneously speaking her name perfectly.

Lyra narrowed her eyes at her brother and tried again. This time she got it. "Silvana. Sister."

Ron grinned at Harry. "Smart as a whip, this one is – eh, Harry?"

"Competitive as well." Harry chuckled. "Good girl, Lyra! You too, Caelum – very good!"

Teddy smiled at Draco as Harry invited him up to join them at the head of the bed. "Hi, Silvana. I'm Teddy."

Harry grinned at the boy before turning to his new daughter. "Silvana, these are your sister - Lyra - and brother - Caelum - and your cousin - Teddy."

Lyra reached for Draco again and this time Harry let her go. She crawled up between Teddy and Draco to sit beside her Daddy. Caelum slowly joined them and gently patted his little sister's head. A flash of light startled the babies – all but the sleeping infant.

Hermione had taken a picture of the special moment and Harry couldn't wait to see it preserved in an album.

Ron and Hermione each took a moment to hold Silvana before hugging Harry goodbye and leaving to send in the next couple to visit. All the adult members of the Weasley family visited taking their turns to meet and hold the new baby. Then Blaise, Luna, Marcus and Pansy had joined them. Pansy hugged Draco tightly while her husband held Silvana.

Luna grinned happily at Harry while Blaise and Draco spoke softly. "All the best things come in small packages, Harry."

Harry just smiled back and followed their guests as they filed out. He then gestured toward Draco's parents to come back in for the ceremony to take place.

"Father, if you would please invite the elves in." Draco felt a heady sort of power settle over them as Lucius clapped his hands using the same code as he always did to call the Malfoy elves into his presence and they appeared…even Kreacher who had long since been indoctrinated into Malfoy elf ranks and rules.

As soon as all sixteen of them arrived, Lucius began to speak. "Your young Master Draco has once again given birth. This time a single girl child joins our ranks and Draco himself presents the newest addition to the Malfoy-Potter household." He made a motion toward the bed where his son lay. "Harry, Draco…?"

Harry stood next to him with Lyra in his arms and Teddy standing at his side and Narcissa held Caelum on Draco's other side.

Draco held his small bundle out with her face uncovered for the elves and his family to see.

Each of the elves came up close to see the newborn. As always, Dinki was the first elf to approach and she looked very proud as she bowed to the youngest member of her bonded family. She stood beside Harry watching as the rest of the elves came forward to meet the little baby girl. Harry noticed that Dinki seemed to have risen further than the other elves in an unspoken ranking. He supposed that was due to her careful supervision of a newly established household which had flourished with her influence.

"Silvana Orchid Malfoy-Potter is the third child born from my union with Harry Potter." He glanced up at his father. They'd discussed this and he'd agreed as long as they didn't try to subvert the Malfoy line.

Lucius cleared his throat. "Harry and Draco also wish to officially introduce their godchild, who has been living with them since the beginning of this year."

"Teddy Lupin – though not a blood relative – is also a very beloved member of our family and the new Black heir." Draco announced with a gesture toward the little boy.

Kreacher took a position next to Teddy while the other elves approached.

"Blood and Gender are the determining factors for the order of inheritance in the Malfoy family and so nothing has changed in that regard." Lucius spoke with an officious air. "The line begins with my son, Draconis Lucien Malfoy-Potter. It continues with Caelum Orion Malfoy-Potter and will go down through his children after him. Lady Lyra and Lady Silvana are not to be held as less important than any other member of this family. Nor will Teddy Lupin be held as less important."

Draco glowed with pride as he watched the elves bow and curtsy.

"Dinki, step forward." Lucius commanded, his voice sounding loud with authority.

She did as instructed.

Lucius grinned inwardly at the confusion on his son and son-in-law's faces. This hadn't been discussed but he'd asked his head elf to evaluate the Malfoy-Potter elves and now it was time to divulge Dooley's findings. "As you know, Dooley has been to visit Nettlestone Estate, Dinki…and according to the head Malfoy elf, with the assistance of only one other elf, you've done quite well in helping to care for Draco, Harry and their children as they formed a new household. In recognition of your superb efforts, you are hereby named as head elf for the Malfoy-Potter family."

"Dinki be thanking Master Lucius." The elf's eyes were wide as she bowed to him.

"Will the Black Family elf step forward as well?" Lucius granted her a rare smile as he waited for Kreacher to take a place beside Dinki. "The two of you have proven to be a good team but your masters now have four children that you will help to raise. If you need further assistance, you will speak now or report to Dooley within the week." He waited a moment as the elves looked at each other.

Dinki took a cautious step toward him. "Dinki and Kreacher only be needing help if they is being allowed to beg favor …and granted favor."

Lucius blinked in surprise. "What favor might this be, Dinki?"

"Dinki and Kreacher be asking permission to breed, Master." Dinki said surprising the entire group. "Kreacher and Dinki be getting along much better than anyone is ever expecting and we is wanting little elves. To be doing this, Dinki must beg permission and the help of one or two other elves to oversee the children."

Shocked speechless, Lucius turned to face his son and Harry. The elder Malfoy seemed to be fighting a laugh as he saw the expressions on their faces and did an admirable job of keeping control until he looked at his wife. Their eyes met and he made a pained grimace but he simply took a deep breath and regained control before silently asking each of the adults for their opinion. Harry nodded with a grin and Draco shrugged but gave a nod. Narcissa looked the happiest of the group as she nodded.

"Dinki, Kreacher…You have our full permission to carry on as long as your duties are not neglected. In that spirit, I happily reassign Lolli to the Malfoy-Potter home at Nettlestone Estate." Lucius looked at the new elf with decisive authority. "Lolli, your orders are to assist Harry, Draco, Dinki and Kreacher in whatever they need. To do this you will sometimes help feed or bathe or dress one or more of the children. You may also need to help Kreacher cook or clean. To the best of your collective abilities, I expect you to care for each and every member of the household under the name of Malfoy-Potter."

"Thank you, Master! Dinki be obeying, Master." The happy elf curtsied to him before turning to Harry and the others to repeat the gesture.

"Kreacher be obeying, Master Lucius." Kreacher bowed to Lucius before turning to his 'real' master and repeating the gesture.

"Lolli be obeying, Master." She curtsied to each adult human and moved to stand on Dinki's right.

Lucius shook his head. "You are the newest elf to join my son's staff – Lolli. You will therefore be taught right now how to make the bottle for Lady Silvana."

Dinki and Lolli both stepped toward the bed. "Master, please to be giving little Lady to Dinki?"

As the bearer, Draco looked at Harry for confirmation before nodding to the creature and then gently lowering the infant into her arms.

The humans and elves watched her use one arm to hold the infant and the other hand to summon a bottle and several ingredients which included a number of the potions the Healer had left to supplement the baby formula. She quietly instructed Lolli in the mixing of the formula the same way Harry and Draco had been taught by the Healer before Lyra and Caelum had been born and then used a light heating charm to warm the bottle. When Lolli was finished, Dinki handed the baby to the new elf who quickly tested the temperature of the bottle on her wrist before placing the nipple to Silvana's lips.

As soon as the baby latched onto it, Dinki nodded her approval and seeing that the new addition to the family was in good hands, the rest of the Malfoy elves bowed and curtsied on their way back to their own duties.

Sighing, Lucius took a seat on the edge of the bed beside his son and looked at both Harry and Draco. "I know I place a lot of importance on certain traditions…There's a reason for that."

"We understand that traditions are important, Father." Draco cut in. "We won't interfere that much with them. We just don't see why they have to be taken so seriously. Surely the elves would understand that I'm tired or that the amount of visitors we received took a large slice of time from the day. I'm sure they didn't care a whit that the other children attended the presentation even though they are underage."

"Interference is also sometimes a good thing, Dragon." Harry smirked at his husband. "I interfered with Riddle…the Ministry interfered with our lives…"

Draco snorted in amusement. "Yes, I suppose some types of interference are good, Harry but not if one makes it a habit."

Lucius shook his head exasperatedly. He'd hoped to teach Harry something when he'd officially joined the family, but it seemed that Harry had taught the Malfoys a lot more. The most important thing he'd taught them was that life didn't have to be rigidly controlled at all times. Love was more important than political maneuvers and family should be considered the most precious thing in life.

Harry and Narcissa helped the twins get ready for bed and then Lolli gently placed Silvana into her bassinet. The nursery was full and the rest of the house was empty. It was time for Lucius and Narcissa to take their leave and Draco's droopy eyes were a clear signal.

"Good night, Dragon." Narcissa said kissing her son's cheek. "Don't forget we'll be here to visit this weekend but you've got a wonderful team of elves to help Harry take care of you and the children."

Lucius took her hand. "Until then, we'll be at the chateau, Draco. The elves can come to us at any time. You both know that. If Lolli isn't enough to help while Dinki and Kreacher are…busy… I will have Polli standing by."

Harry and Draco nodded. "See you soon. Thanks for everything, Lucius. Thank you, Cissa. You've both been such a help."

Narcissa smiled at them while Lucius nodded regally in their direction and then they turned to quietly leave the room.

Once the door closed behind them, Harry took Draco in his arms again. "Love…? Are you awake?"

The sleepy blond chuckled lightly. "Yes, but not for much longer."

"I just wanted to say…" Harry paused to kiss Draco's shoulder. "You remember that night while you were pregnant with the twins…The night that guy ambushed us in Madam Malkin's shop? I talked you into spilling your heart out to me and I've never mentioned it again until now but I want to tell you…You make me feel like…If Voldemort were still alive, I could go out and obliterate him just knowing you were here waiting for me."

Draco fell quiet and just listened. If Harry thought he'd fallen asleep he might keep going with these lovely words.

"You help me keep a level head…Your sarcasm and snarkiness bring my tendency toward seriousness and tension up to a lighter level. You bring me down from my high horse as it were and I need that sometimes. All I've wanted since getting that letter in Seventh Year was you…happy and healthy and safe. I hope I still make you feel the way you said that night."

Draco felt the arms that were wrapped around him tighten as Harry went on.

"Having you – and the children – in my life and in my arms…It means the world to me." Harry whispered. "You four are my world…I love you…I treasure you…"

Draco couldn't put it into words how much this confession meant to him. While Draco had a public side and a private side, the fact that Harry hadn't split his feelings the way Draco recalled doing almost three years ago meant that he felt this way all the time. Harry also hadn't questioned his own thoughts while speaking them which meant that he was confident in both the thoughts themselves and the way they'd be received.

"I know you're not asleep…" Harry spoke softly in case he was wrong. "Say something…"

Draco smirked to himself and turned over to face his husband. "I still feel what I felt back then, Harry…but I also feel different. I don't know how to explain it except to say that I used to compartmentalize what I felt when we got together and now I don't. You have made me feel safe and loved when we're alone just as much as when we're with others. You've also made me feel your Dominant side while in a room full of people. The possessive fire that lights your eyes when you Dominate me is the same one that lets me know I'm safe and loved. I still love and want you…I adore our children…"

"You give me strength, Dragon." Harry kissed him lightly. "Your support through everything with Andy and the Ministry nonsense gave me the confidence to follow it all through. Everything I wanted from a marriage, I got…did you?"

Draco thought back to the day he'd received his letter from the Ministry. "No, Harry…" Harry frowned letting his disappointment show and began to apologize but Draco cut him off with a hand over his mouth. "I got more than I ever hoped for."

Harry's eyes teared up as the hand fell away and Draco tipped his head back to let Harry's lips connect with his own.

I'd also like to thank my readers! You were all so great! Thank you for sharing your comments and reviews – your interesting points of view. I'm so glad I could be part of your lives for the last three years! I'm glad I could inspire or console you as you clearly needed at the time.

I'm not finished writing by any means, just this story. Keep an eye open for anything new I might put out! If you are on Facebook, my Fanfic profile is called Lori FanFic with my pic being an American Flag.
