"You have to admit...." Hermione said with a laugh, "the muggle world isn't all bad."

A gentle breeze rustled past, blowing Hermione's curly brown hair while she and Draco sat in lounge chairs, looking out over the rippling, crystal clear waters of the sea.

"I suppose not." Draco replied, "Besides, you needed this."

Hermione and Draco had married two years ago, just after their graduation from Hogwarts. They had both been hesitant to announce their secret relationship to their friends and family but while they would have been met with more opposition under different circumstances, in the wake of the war and all of the grief it brought, Draco and Hermione were accepted by the majority of their loved ones, including their parents. Lucius had even managed to buy his way out of Azkaban in time to attend his son's wedding.

Since their wedding, Hermione and Draco had spent their days working instead of lounging around Malfoy manor. Draco had started a new potions company and Hermione had been overly committed to her job at the Ministry of Magic, hoping to rise through the ranks as quickly as possible. Hermione had already received two promotions in her short time as a ministry employee, but Draco saw how tired she was every evening when she came home. The dark circles of exhaustion that had formed under his wife's eyes worried him.

To take a short break from the pressures of their hectic schedules, Draco had treated Hermione and himself to a luxurious weekend retreat in the Maldives at one of the world's most exclusive resorts.

Hermione and Draco were staying in a private, overwater bungalow fully equipped with a suite of rooms, an infinity pool held aloft from the sea, and their own personal butler for the duration of their stay.

The young Malfoy couple were slated to return home soon the following day. Though they had truly enjoyed their time spent sitting by the ocean, chatting, eating, and making love. The food was rich, the water was gorgeous, and Draco had been relieved to see the circles under Hermione's eyes lighten and fade as she relaxed.

While they sat side by side that afternoon, Draco took the hand that Hermione had draped over the arm of her chair and gave it a kiss, "We're still going out to dinner tonight?"

"Of course." Hermione smiled, "We've eaten in our kitchen all weekend, I think we should at least try the resort's restaurant once."

Hermione giggled as Draco kissed her hand again and smiled over at her, "I wish I could get you to be this calm at home."

"Don't count on it." Hermione teased.

A seagull flew past and Draco turned towards the noise.

Sitting in her chair, Hermione shifted as a mild cramp gripped her abdomen.

It was knowledge in both the wizarding and muggle worlds that stress was often expressed physically.

Since Hermione had taken on so much at work, she often suffered from migraines and discomforts of the stomach.

But the cramp passed and Hermione pushed it out of her mind.

Hermione was on a beautiful vacation with Draco, her handsome husband. They were having a wonderful time and she was determined not to let stress ruin it for her.

Hermione's stomach cramps continued on and off for the rest of the afternoon, but she ignored them, waiting for the pain to stop on its own or after a trip to the loo.
