It had been seven months since the war was over. I was due any day now to have my baby and with the help of Draco's parents, we were able to buy our own home.

Harry and Ginny were together now and Ron was still with Hermione who went back to school to get her final year in. She wanted Ron to come with her but he was not going back to school if he could help it.

Draco was training to be a doctor not just for broken bones but also for magic related issues.

Harry and I were on good terms with Aunt Petunia and Dudley. We frequently went out to dinner with them which was always nice.

"Dray did you set up the crib yet?" I asked walking into our nursery.

"Working on it. These instructions make so sense!" He threw the manual on the floor.

"Then use your magic." I laughed at his cluelessness.

"Stop laughing at me!" He stood up and walked over to me hugging me and lifting me up.

"I'm sorry." I continued to laugh. "I can't help it."

"Are you ready to meet our baby girl?" He asked setting me down on the couch we had set up.

"You have no idea how ready I am. Only one more week to go." I beamed.

"Do you have any more name ideas?"

"I actually did think of one last night that would be perfect." I started. "What if we named her Jasmine? To honor your sister."

"Jasmine." He nodded thinking about it. "I love it and I'm sure my mother will too." He kissed me.

"Speaking of your parents aren't they supposed to be here for lunch any minute?"

A knock at the door confirmed what I just said and we hurried down to open it.

"Mother, lovely to see you." He hugged her.

"You too Draco." She walked over to me. "How are my two girls doing?" She opened her arms giving me a hug as well.

"We are very well." I smiled. "Thank you."

"That's wonderful."

"Nice to see you, father." Draco hugged his father as well. After the war, they made up and his father has been great to him ever since.

"You too Draco. And Natalie it's always nice to see you." He came over and hugged me as well.

While it was still difficult for me to trust him fully, he was Draco's father and I had to. He really was trying to change.

"Shall we eat?" Narcissa asked.

"Yes! I'm starving." I agreed walking into the kitchen next to her. "We didn't have a ton of time to prepare things but I made these sandwiches that are really good. They have ham and turkey with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and cheese." I was really excited about these sandwiches because I had been craving them.

"They sound wonderful." She smiled helping me carry the trays out of the fridge and onto the table as Draco and his father spoke.

"When did you make these Nat?" Draco asked pulling my chair out for me to sit.

"While you spent an hour trying to figure out the crib instructions." I smiled watching him take his seat beside me.

His mother laughed taking a sandwich from the tray. I took a ham one as well as some berries I had cut up.

"This is delicious, Natalie." Lucius complimented the food.

"Thank you." I smiled taking a bite of mine. It really was delicious. They were so simple yet so good at the same time.
