Touch Starved

Don't know

The doctor's face fell to a sudden shocked expression, he stammered through his papers.

"Oh uh. Yeah Mr. Malfoy it says here Mrs. Malfoy is about a month along. I am so sorry I thought you knew"

Luckily Harry was standing nearby, because Draco stammered hard in his attempt to find a seat to sit in.

"Can you give us a moment doctor?" Molly asked. The doctor nodded and quickly turned and nearly ran from the room.

"Are you okay?" Molly asked, taking Draco's hand.

"She's" he couldn't manage many words.

"Yes dear, she is. I assume neither of you knew?" She asked. Draco shook his head, trying to focus on making his body not shake.

"I have to see her," he said finally. Molly nodded, looking to Ron to grab a nurse.

The hallway to your room somehow seemed longer and longer every step he took. Have you known? He could help but wonder. Of course you didn't know, you would have said something. Right?

"Mr. Malfoy?" The Nurse spoke to him, he must not have processed her voice the first time.

"Yes?" He asked.

"We haven't told her anything... so if she doesn't know already" she was whispering. Finally they turned the corner into your doorway, Draco's eyes finding you immediately. Your eyes were closed like you were sleeping, except he watched as you tapped your thumb in the small call button you held in your hand.

"Mrs. Malfoy" the nurse spoke as she walked in before Draco.

"Oh thank goodness, can I please see my husband now?" You spoke before you saw him, catching his blonde hair finally out of the corner of your eyes. You smiled, trying to lift yourself from the laying position on the bed.

"Please stay laying down Mrs. Malfoy you will be leaving here before long but we need to make sure you're safe before we do" she walked to you, pushing the blanket back over your body. You sighed, retaking the place you'd been.

"Draco?" You asked as he stood there frozen, his heart pounding. He walked over to you as you said his name, your calls a force on him.

"My love" he whispered as he took your hand, running his fingers over your skin.

"I'm okay" you pulled his hand to your cheek, pressing his fingers to your cheek. He finally smiled then, seeing the sweet look of your face. "I just would very much like to go home" you made sure to glance at the nurse, who laughed a little at you.

"Does it hurt?" He asked, running his fingers through your absolutely messy hair.

"A minor headache, they fixed me up easily. I'm more mad at myself than anything. It's going to take me weeks to convince Harry to let me try again" you sighed. Draco's smile faded away, your words only confirming to him you had no idea. Was it his place to tell you? He looked up at the nurse, who quickly grabbed a few things before rushing from the room. Clearly no one else was going to tell you.

"Darling" he said, pulling the chair beside the bed closer to take a seat. "I think maybe you should take a break from training..."

"Don't be silly! I am so close" you watched as the nurse left the room, moving again to sit up.

"No love, relax please" Draco reached out his hand to hold you in your spot.

"Please, Draco I just can't lay here anymore I'll go mad" you whined

"Love" he sighed, you watched his face. What on earth is going on that he can't look at you?

"What happened?"

"I have to tell you something"

Your mind was running absolutely wild, every single possibly seeped into your admittedly pounding head.

"What? Is everyone okay? Please tell me our house isn't gone again" you were running through your words, obvious panic in every single one.

"Everyone is okay baby. Just..." he took in one deep breath, needing to finally just say it. "Baby you're pregnant"

"Wait" you felt a rock developing in your throat "you're joking"

"No love... the doctor told me. He thought we knew"

You couldn't help but shake, your fingers gripped his hand right. You felt the tears as they left your eyes, rolling warm down your face.

"Baby im so sorry." Draco started panicking as he saw your tears "I know you wanted so badly to be an Auror. I wish there was something I could do. I'm sorry" he pleaded with you.

"Draco just..." you stopped him as he held your hand right. "Shut up" you looked at him through wet lashes. He nodded, keeping his mouth closed.

You sat there in silence for a while, just letting the news roll around in your brain.

"So we're having a baby" you whispered finally.

Draco nodded, trying his hardest to read the expression on your face. "Yeah"

"The whole Weasley Potter gang knows don't they" you cracked a small smile.

"The doctor may have announced it to the whole lobby" he nodded, relieved to see you smiling.

"Did he mention how far along?" You asked

"A month or so" Draco nodded. You smiled a little larger, then giggled.

"So that weekend..." you blushed

"Yeah.. I guess that's my fault" he raised his eyebrows, smirking now too.

"So..." you nodded

"So" he agreed.

"I'm..." you looked at him, his eyes leaving your body and back up to you "I'm kind of excited"

-

They finally let you leave, after a few more hours of testing and checking your vitals and now running some tests for the baby. You were allied to go.

You grabbed the clothes you had been wearing, your Auror uniform which was now covered in blood. Luckily Ginny had brought you something, it was painfully plush blue but still you appreciated the thought.

You walked into the Lobby, met instantly but a barrage of hugs and kind words. You thought Ginny would linger the longest, but she didn't. It was Harry who held you the most.

"I'm so sorry" he sighed as he hugged you again.

"Harry" you laughed, hoping to relieve some tensions. "It's not your fault"

"But..." he tried to protest.

"Shut up Potter" your words finally made him laugh, his family joining in just after him.

You all walked out of the hospital talking cheerfully about everything and nothing. Mostly things like Quiddiitch and how Draco's schooling was going.

It wasn't until you found yourselves at the Weasley burrow preparing for supper that you realized the only thing they hadn't mentioned all night was something you imagined they all were dying to talk about.

You looked at Draco, who smiled at you. Finally you cleared your throat, breaking the conversations at the table.

"So" you said as you shook your head. "We're just going to pretend you all don't know?"
