Lovers

Part 30: Would It Change A Thing?

Neither wanted to think about it.

One Malfoy Heir.

What if they lost their only chance?

She wondered if he was blaming her?

It had been a good three months since it had happened, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still sting or weigh heavy on their minds.

Their baby is always in the back of their minds.

The thousand what ifs that will never be answered.

They can lie and pretend it doesn't dwell close to the surface, but it does.

After thanking everyone for coming and cleaning up, Draco and Hermione say their goodbyes to her parents and they aparate home. The second they get there, Hermione stomps to the bedroom and can't help but slam the door behind her.

Draco doesn't even try to enter. He doesn't want to make anything worse, because he undoubtedly will. He simply opens her enchanted bag and begins unloading all their gifts they got- a lot being monetary, but some are new dishes or different special magical items. But Draco doesn't linger on any gift. He just simply places them in what would be their most appropriate place.

After a few moments, Hermione comes out into the living room in night shorts and in Draco's quidditch sweater. It's her favorite and he loves seeing her in it. He looks her over and she seems just slightly different in it tonight. Going up to her, he goes to kiss her and she dodged him.

"Confundus." She says to herself and it forces him to slide across the floor away from her.

"Really? Mione, I didn't even say anything. You did."

"You Malfoy's are all narcissists." She says and grabs her enchanted bag. To head back into the bedroom.

"How?!"

"The Malfoy Heir. All the Malfoy's have Silver eyes and white Platinum perfect silky hair and perfect non-freckled skin and have long legs and thin frames and are inherently Slytherins...." She prattles off on her way back down the hallway- not even looking at him. Sighing, he just sits down on the couch and lets her go. It makes his life easier when she's like this and lately- that's been a lot.

He was simply stating backed up facts. All Malfoy's have male heirs. Those heirs always have platinum hair and silver eyes. They have all been in Slytherin and they're pale as fuck. He can't help his genetics. It's not like he said they're better than anyone else. They're just observations.

And yes, all Malfoy's have only had one child- minus one or two who had twins- and in that rare case they were both boys.

That doesn't mean this will be the case with him and Hermione.

They might not even have children.

He isn't sure of anything any more.

After about three hours, the clock showing 2:33 a.m- Draco gets up from sleeping on the couch and heads into the bedroom. Opening the door, he finds her sitting up in bed knees to to her chest and just looking at her hands in her lap. He doesn't say anything as he crawls up the bed to her knees and see her looking at her hands.

Sitting beside her, he pulls her into his side and kisses her temple.

"I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have said what I said." She says.

"Don't worry about it. You weren't wrong. We are narcissistic naturally. I mean my mother's name is literally narcissist." They both laugh and she looks up at him- golden brown orbs gazing into his silver pools longingly.

"Draco..."

"Yes Darling?"

She shakes slightly as she leans into him.

"I'm pregnant." She's been so nervous about telling him, but has been trying to stay positive- not wanting to lose the baby again.

"I know." He softly says, his eyes misty with tears as he leaves little kisses on her forehead. Her eyes shoot up to his and her lips part- confused by his answer.

"H...how?"

"Not to sound like an arsehole, but I know what my wife's breasts normally look like...and you're really filling out my sweater to perfection." She glares at him and his cocky smirk. "Not that there isn't anything wrong with your normal baps...I'm just saying...I knew.  That and you've been extra cuddly lately as well as moody...and you didn't have a single sip of alcohol for the last three weeks."

"You knew that long and you didn't say anything?"

"I figured you'd tell me when you wanted too. At least...that's what I was hoping would happen." Hands left hand plays with her right hand and his smile is big and genuine. "I've been anxiously waiting, you know."

"I'm sorry I kept it from you."

"You're alright darling. I'm not mad." He says and slides down the bed.

"What are you doing?" She asks as Draco lifts up his sweater she's wearing and begins leaving small kisses on her stomach.

"Making acquaintances with our baby." He says softly. "Hi...I'm your Daddy...I love you."

She notices his eyes fill with tears as he leaves little kisses and rubs his thumb over her stomach.

"Why are you upset?" She asks.

"I'm not..."

"Then why are you crying?" She wipes a few away and he looks up at her with glassy red eyes.

"Because I'm so happy we're having a baby." It melts her heart how cute he is. She brings him up to her face by pulling on his shirt collar. Kissing his lips, she has her own tears of joy pop up in her eyes.

"You are so sweet. I love you."

"I love you more. No stressing out. No lifting heavy things. Nothing. You aren't to do anything. I will take care of you and our baby and you will relax and be comfortable." He cries slightly kissing her neck.

"I can do things..."

"No...nothing."

"But..."

"No buts. You are my top priority and nothing will stop me from keeping you happy and healthy. I promise." His hand massages her stomach and she smiles reassuringly.

"Alright, Draco...you're in charge."

"I don't want to be in charge. I just want to protect my family."

"Godric Gryffindor...I love you."

They fall asleep in each other's arms., their unborn child cradled between them- Draco's hand defensively placed on in while his other hand is bracing her back.

For the first time in forever, they fall asleep with smiles on their faces and unmeasurable amounts of love between them.

The End.
