Arranged marriage between the purebloods

The News :)

Your illness returned every morning for the next week. Your period was due any day and you felt the cramps. But, no blood so far. You began to grow suspicious. "I can't be pregnant" You thought to yourself "Not now, Not with all this going on." That afternoon you were reading in the living area when Narcissa came up to visit you. "Hello Cherish, how are you feeling today?" She asked. "O-oh. Much better today. Thank you mother" You were trying to hide your illness from Draco and everyone until you figured out what was going on. "Well, that's good. Are you bleeding yet. I know you mentioned to me that you were due soon." "Not yet, but I'm feeling the cramps. Won't be long I suppose." You answered trying to throw her off the idea. "Well, if you should need anything for the cramps I'll be downstairs." She smiled and descended the staircase."

The sun was starting to set and you were preparing for bed when the phone rang. It was Draco informing you that he would be home late and not to worry. He and his father had business to attend to. You hung up the phone and burst into tears. For some reason, you were becoming very emotional lately. Narcissa was coming up the stairs just as you started crying. She rushed over to you asking what was wrong. Not wanting her to worry about her son, you informed her that he was fine and he called to let you know he and Lucius wouldn't be home until later. She smiled a devilish smile at you. "What?" You asked her. "YOU'RE PREGNANT, AREN'T YOU???" She asked very excited. You knew you could no longer hide it. Not from her at least. "Yes, I believe I am." She began to tell you how she knew it from the moment you became sick every morning. She was very happy to hear the news and touched your stomach. "Please, don't tell Draco yet. I want to be the one to tell him." She nodded. "Of course dear. Secret safe with me." She winked at you and returned downstairs. You laid awake for a while wondering how you were going to break the news to Draco. Would he be happy? Or would he be fearful that the middle of this war was the wrong time to have a child? You'd find out when the time came. Eventually you fell asleep.
The next day. Narcissa took you to the doctor to find out for sure and have some tests done to see how far along you were. You returned home to find Draco and his father upstairs in your living area. "Where were you two?" Lucius asked. "Just out.. shopping, Lucius." She replied. They both went back downstairs leaving you and Draco upstairs.

Draco's parents POV
"She is pregnant, Lucius." Narcissa told her husband. He smiled. "Really? Is that where you two were? The doctor?" He asked. "Yes. The doctor is going to call her when the results come back to tell her how far along she is." She answered. "Draco will be thrilled. We were just discussing today how much he wants a child with her." He told his wife. "I can't believe we have a grandchild on the way, Lucius." Narcissa said with tears of joy in her eyes. "Believe it, my love." He said as he held his wife tightly.

Cherish's POV
You walked around your floor of the house going from room to room trying to keep yourself busy. Lord Voldemort was holding a meeting downstairs with everyone tonight and you wanted nothing to do with it. You rang your parents and asked if you could visit with them for a few days. As always, they said yes. Wanting to keep you away from the mess that was unfolding. Draco was upstairs with you when the phone rang. It was the doctor. You tried to keep quiet in hopes that he wouldn't hear the conversation..

Draco's POV
"She's acting so odd." You wondered quietly to yourself. Your parents were as well but you just chalked it up to nerves about the meeting tonight. You were grateful Cherish wasn't involved at all with any of this. Just as you were finishing a thought. The phone rang and Cherish answers it. She spoke very quietly. As if trying to hide something from you. You listened closely. "Hello?.. Yes, this is Mrs. Malfoy.. You sure?.. And there can't be any mistake?.. Yes. Yes, No I can't wait to tell my husband. Thank you." She hung up the phone. You waited for her to come find you. Ten minutes passed and she didnt. You became very curious now. "Can't wait to tell me what, Cherish?" She almost dropped the plate she was drying. "What do you mean dear?" She asked pretending not to know what you were talking about. "I heard the phone conversation, Cherish. You've been acting very strange lately. Now please tell me what is going on." You half shouted at her and she began to cry. "Honey, I didn't mean..." She cut you off and yelled at you. "I'm Pregnant!" You stood in shock for a moment before laughing hysterically. "How far along are you?" You asked her very excited. "Nine weeks. Just over two months" She answered sounding sad. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy? We have a child on the way. Our first born." You asked as you held her in your arms. "Born into what, Draco? This damn war? This whole mess is no time for a child to be coming." You tried to reassure her that everything would be alright. She was happy about carrying the baby. She cried, smiled and held her stomach. "If it's a girl. You pick the name. If it's a boy. I want to." You agreed. She told you how your mother knew even before she did. You knew your mother had already told your father. You both made your way downstairs to see your parents and they knew she had told you.
