Chapter Text
Harry stared down at the adorable child staring up at him.
Those eye certainly matched his own the green of the killing curse was unmistakable. His black hair was down to his shoulders probably to tame it, the child looked more female then male but the baby looked like a miniature adorable version of himself who'd obviously been well taken care of. Harry cast every Scan he knew on the child and was informed by them that the child was healthy and well cared for. The boy was dressed in obviously expensive clothes too.
Harry looked at the woman across from him. He remembered her from his time in Japan. He'd fallen for her hard and had thought for two years that they would be married but she'd refused him when he'd asked.
"Midori-chan." he breathed. Seeing her again made his chest hurt.
"Harry-chan." Midori smiled, blushing.
Harry had filled out and was wearing a muscle shirt, and sweat pants. He was sweating and he'd grown his hair to shoulder length it was tied back at his neck. She tried to remember why she'd turned down his proposal. The answer was of course at her side. Her husband. She'd married for the clan.
"This is .......our......son?" Harry asked, as he squatted down in front of the four year old.
"Yes." Midori replied. "Yuki, greet your father."
"Kon'nichiwa, otōsan." Yuki said, blushing cutely and hiding in his mother's side.
"Kon'nichiwa, musuko." Harry said, in perfect Japanese. "Anata wa nan-saidesu ka?"
"Yuki is four." Yuki giggled. "Yuki is speaking English."
Harry smiled and reached over to mess up the kid's hair. He stood and looked a Midori who was obviously with child again.
"Why are you just now telling me that I have a son?" Harry asked. He had Winky serve tea.
"His magic is getting out of control." Midori explained. "It is getting hard to hide."
"You knew what I was when you slept me with all those years ago." Harry said, to her. He focused on Yuki again. "Yuki-chan." Yuki looked up at him with a big grin. "If you can make this cookie fly to you, you may it." Harry held up a cookie. "Come on, Yuki-chan you can do it."
Yuki stared hard at the cookie after a few moments it flew to his hands.
"Good job, Yuki-chan, daddy is very proud of you." Harry said, messing up the boy's hair again. He looked at Midori's husband who was looking confused. Midori had giggled. "I wanted to see if he actually had magic. " Harry said, and took a drink of his water bottle."I had problems with my magic when I was his age as well though I had an excuse. Yuki obviously does not have the same problem. He is very well treated......."
"I knew very well that Yuki was not mine when he was born." Midori's husband finally spoke. " But I have treated him as my own and I would continue to do so even though I will soon have a son of my own. But last week he turned into a bird and flew around for an hour before falling asleep in a tree, He started a fire when he caught my nephew reading a magazine with a naked woman in it he burned it, When Elder fell and broke his hip Yuki healed it, three weeks ago he raised his favorite rabbit from the grave......"
"Hmmm." Harry said, nodding. "I should have guessed that any child of mine would be as powerful as I am. Exactly, what are you asking me to do here?"
"We wish for you to take him and train him to control his powers." Midori said, her voice breaking she was crying and trying not to. "I only ask that I am allowed to still be apart of his life."
Harry sighed to himself a child was not going to fit into his life.
"Of course to both accounts." Harry said, "But you will of course understand if I confirm that Yuki is my son."
Midori was affronted but agreed.
Harry pulled out his cell phone that worked in both worlds and called his account manager he spoke in Goblygook to the goblin. He could see his guests watching him in interest.
"What was that you speak?" Yuki asked.
"That was Goblygook the language of Goblins." Harry informed the child. "The Goblin in charge of my money is on his way over. He will be able to tell us if you are indeed my son."
"Okay." Yuki said, nodding. "What is that?"
Harry looked to where Yuki was looking. He couldn't see anyone or anything but he could sense Winky's magic.
"That is Winky she is a house elf." Harry said, patiently. "She is like the servants you have at home. She cooks, cleans, and such."
"Oh." Yuki said. "Tank you, Winky, cookie was good."
Harry smiled at Yuki he was already falling in love with the boy and found himself hoping that the boy was really his.
Harry had finally gone and gotten dressed in jeans and teeshirt. When he returned Winky was coming in to the living room with his account manager. Yuki was chasing after Winky.
"Yuki-chan, is there something you need from Winky?" Harry asked, catching the child around the middle and setting him down on the couch next to his mother, "If you do ask nicely."
"I ........" Yuki said, blushing, "Want to play with Winky."
Harry smiled.
"Winky will play with you later right now Ragnok is here and he's going to do a test to show that I'm your daddy or not." Harry explained. He was already making plans for Yuki's room and getting him toys. "Welcome, Ragnok, thank you for coming on such short notice."
"Of course, Lord Potter-Black." Ragnok replied.
Yuki didn't cry when Harry pricked his finger and let two drops of blood drop on to the parchment. He was amazed when the man healed him. He heard his mommy gasp though.
"Was that necessary?" Midori asked.
"Yes, but that's all we need." Harry told her."There it's starting."
They watched the results appear.
Yuki Harry Potter-Black-Jimmu.
Father: Harry Potter-Black
Mother: Midori Jimmu
Heir to House Potter, Heir to House Black, Heir to House Jimmu/ through mother.
"Yuki can't read." Yuki said, "What it say?"
"It says that you are my son." Harry told the child. "Yuki-chan, how would you like to come live with me for awhile? You can still see your mommy whenever you want and you'll be allowed to see your family and even your brother when he's born."
Yuki thought about it.
"Okay." Yuki said, holding his arms up.
Harry smiled and picked him up and hugged him.
"Good." Harry said, "Thank you, Ragnok."
Ragnok couldn't believe it. He had begun to think that the 23 year old Lord would never have children.
Harry fell into bed that night with a sigh. Yuki had loved Harry using Magic to decorate a room for him, Harry using Magic to make the bathroom connected to his room just his size, Harry buying him all sorts of toys and clothes and books. Harry had worn himself out doing all of this today but he didn't know when he'd get another chance. He'd had the day off but he had to go work tomorrow and had to find out who was going to watch over Yuki at night while he worked. He guessed he could have Winky do it. Yuki seemed to love Winky and Winky seemed to love that she had a new master to take care of. He'd have to explain to Yuki that he worked nights and he'd be babysat by Winky. He would promise to tuck him in every night.
His eyes slid shut.
What felt like moments later he was waking up to his cell ringing and Yuki trying to crawl into his bed. He answered while helping Yuki up into the bed. He looked at the clock next to his bed it was six in the morning. Joy he'd actually managed six hours of sleep.
"Potter." Harry said, wondering why Yuki was crawling around his bed and why the boy was up at all.
"It's Dolph, need you at a scene."
Harry sighed.
"Problem?"
"I just found out I have a son." Harry explained. "He's four. Blood test confirmed it. Just wondering who I could ask to watch him for a bit."
The answer was Detective Clive Perry had to entertain Yuki at Harry's car while Harry looked over the scene. The man didn't seem to mind but Anita Blake sure did.
"I'm telling you this is Ghouls." Anita said.
"and I'm telling you I've seen plenty of Ghouls from around the world and none were strong enough to do this to a person." Harry said, "Besides this ground is crawling with Death Magic it's Consecrated still if you want to use your terms. Ghouls couldn't come here and wouldn't rise here unless major Necromancy was involved. I don't feel Necromancy Magic around here and the nearest cemetery is white two to three miles from here? Ghouls don't travel that far."
Dolph and Zabrowski shared a look and wrote down the important information that they got from the arguing experts. It was always like this when they were both were called in. Dolph always tried to avoid calling both of them but he'd wanted Harry's opinion on the magic in the area and Anita's on the preternatural of course he was also getting ready to drop Anita as an expert all together as Harry was way better.
"If you two are done." An officer walked up. "there is a four year old japanese child demanding his father."
"Yuki." Harry sighed, "He's mine. I'll be with him in a moment. Tell Clive that Yuki's rabbit is in the diaper bag. That should entertain him for at least an hour and watch out for random bursts of magic!"
"You have a kid?" Anita asked. "With what we do?"
Harry sighed again and nodded.
"Ex-fiance in Japan." he explained. " A blood test confirmed Yuki is mine. He's showing signs of magic and his mother and her husband aren't equipped to handle it so he's living with me."
"With what we do?" Anita repeated. "and our jobs?"
"This isn't your business." Harry snapped.
They bickered all the way back to their cars where Yuki happily threw himself on Harry hugging him.
"Edward isn't going to like this." Anita warned, when all cops were out of earshot.
"Whose going to tell him?" Harry challenged.
"He'll find out." She snipped.
Harry knew that was true and didn't like it. His mentor would bring up the same points Anita had. Harry still didn't know what he was thinking bringing Yuki into his life. It was just going to put his son in danger but this was what he'd always secretly wanted wasn't it? A child of his own. A family. As the old saying went 'Be careful what wish for' . Now he had it and didn't know what to do with it.
