I week later...

Draco Malfoy:

"Draco please." She cries. "Please don't."

I hold her in my arms as we sit on the floor, crying myself. This is painful, but it has to be done. I can't let her die.

This isn't very healthy. Savanna has been avoiding the things I say and not being as affectionate as she normally is. I can understand, but I just want her to see where i'm coming from.

"Draco, please." She repeats. "Just try."

Someone barges into the room. I pray it's not Hiraeth.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy!!"

Yeah, not Hiraeth. That's my mother.

I turn around to see that she's clearly very angry with me.

"You come here right now."

I stand up, leaving Savanna there, walking out into the hallway.

"Where's Sterling?" I ask, knowing that I left my mother in charge of him last.

She shakes her head. "Your father is taking care of him. Don't try stalling me."

I can't believe i'm twenty one and still being scolded by my mother.

"You better tell me about this vasectomy bullshit right now." She demands.

I sigh. "I'm choosing to do this, mother." I say. "It's the right thing to do."

She scoffs. "The right thing to do?! Your wife is crying on the floor right now. You're crying right now."

"You have no idea how much it scared me to watch her stop breathing for thirty seconds." I cry. "I couldn't do anything to help! I just had to stand there, feeling so fucking helpless. She has been through so much, mother. I cannot let this happen to her, she doesn't deserve to go through that."

I put my face in my hands, trying to hide the tears running down my face.

"Do you see what this woman does to you, Draco? Look at you, a complete mess. This proves how much you love her, don't you wanna make her happy?"

I wipe away my tears. "Of course I do. But this isn't worth it."

"Come here." She holds her arms out, and I hug her tightly.

"It's not fair, mother. Why does everything happen to her? I'm tired of all this shit she has to deal with. Will she ever get serenity?"

"Of course she will. A girl like her only comes around once in a lifetime. I think she's special. These battles she's been through prove her strength. I also think you're a complete idiot if you think she can't get through another birth."

I pull away. "You think we should try?" I ask her, still wiping my tears away.

"Absolutely." She smiles.

"I'm so scared." I admit.

"Don't be. You and I both know how incredible she is."
