The Stars Above Us

Holding On

It was 18 weeks later and it was the gender reveal party of Draco and Harry's baby, and the blonde was upstairs, sitting on the bed as Harry came upstairs, sitting next to him, placing one hand on his bump, "You look so nervous." "I am really nervous. I don't care if it's a little baby girl or a little baby boy. I'm four and a half months, and I'm nervous but excited because this is our little baby, and I don't want to get rid of it, I want them to ours. I don't care what they'll be in the future." Draco got up, walking downstairs with Harry, grabbing his hand, walking in the garden with Harry, where most of the Black family, most of the Potter family and the Malfoy family were with a few of their friends they had made in college.

Narcissa walked over to her son, and kissed his head softly "How are they doing?" "They're doing really well. I'm starting to feel little kicks here and there but it feels really real now." "I bet it does. I had Emma when I was 17 going on 18, and I was a teen parent, and now I'm 54 with two beautiful children, you and Emma." "Yeah, mum. It feels scary having a baby as a 17 year old." "Oh yeah, darling. Emma's on her way, she's coming through Beckton now, she's not far." Draco heard a car pull up, and ran inside to open the front door. Draco looked at his sister who was getting out of her car. Emma walked over to him, and hugged him "Hi you." "Hey," Draco hugged her back, and walked inside with her and outside to the garden. 

Harry walked over to Draco, "We were waiting for you to be ready, baby and then we'll do it." "Okay." Harry kissed his forehead, and walked up to the two cannons, picking them both up, giving one to Harry. Harry got in the middle with Draco. Harry walked up to him, "What do you think baby Potter-Malfoy will be?" "I think a girl." "I think girl too." Draco walked away from Harry, as they counted down from three. When they got down to 0, the cannons were popped, and pink confetti came out of the two cannons. Draco dropped his cannon, as tears filled in his eyes. Harry came over to him, and hugged him tight "I can not believe this." "Neither can I, we're have a little girl, who we're going to love, adore, even though we're young, we're going to be amazing parents." Draco nodded as Harry hugged him. Draco pulled away, walking inside, walking upstairs to his bedroom, getting his black jacket.

He walked downstairs, pulling it on, sitting on the sofa. Harry walked in the living room, sitting next to him, "Are you okay?" "I'm okay, pain." Harry walked outside "Narcissa?" Narcissa ignored him as she was talking to Lucius "Narcissa?" He called her name again as Lucius tapped her as she turned around "Harry, is everything okay?" "Draco's in pain." "Alright." Narcissa walked inside where Draco was sitting on the sofa, one knee pulled up "Are you okay, sweetheart?" "I'm in really bad pain." "Okay, what do you want to do?" "I don't know, mum." "Do you need to go to the toilet or anything?" "I don't know, mum." Draco got up, walking upstairs to the bathroom. Harry walked upstairs to the bathroom, 10 minutes later, closing the door, "What's up, sweetheart?" Draco looked at Harry, "How's your stomach now?" "Better. I went to go to the toilet, and it's better now." "That's good. I didn't want to disturb you so I stayed downstairs until you were done." Draco nodded, drying his hands on the towel, walking back downstairs. Harry sat down as Draco came over, sitting on his lap.

It was 21 weeks later and Draco was sitting at home, feet up on the sofa as Narcissa came in the living room "Look at you, how far now?" "39 weeks, only a week left to go, but my midwife said I can go into labour anytime within the next week or so." Draco felt her kick in the ribs, "She is getting herself ready but my body isn't yet." "Alright, is Harry working?" "Yeah, he is." "Okay, do you want me to get him?" "Please mum. I need Harry's support right now, if I go into labour and he's not there, I'll be screwed, mum. I want him to be there." "I know, baby. I know you do. What type of birth were you thinking?" "Probably a hospital birth. I'm being induced today as I'm only 5 days away from giving birth. We have baby girl's bag, my bag, Harry's bag, car seat, pregnancy pillow, my pillow, and chocolates." "Nice." Draco got up, and walked up to the mirror in the hallway and looked at his bump, "You're massive, sweetheart." "I know," Draco felt some pain in his stomach and he grabbed onto the radiator.
