Arrangements

43, reunited

After not posting a new chapter in a really long time I just wanted to post this one with an ending that could be continued or could be a beautiful ending to our story. Time will tell. I love you guys so much.

>> REUNITED <<

Me and Hermione are sitting on the couch in my little space I call home. Both of us have a large cup of hot tea in our hands and we've snuggled down under a cozy blanked.

Hermione has been staying in my "apartment" on top of the joke shop since I had my encounter with Rae. She didn't want me to be alone after the meltdown I suffered at the leaky cauldron. I can still feel myself throwing my cup at the ground and hearing a distant screaming. A scream that I later have realised was myself. It's weird really, how I can remember it so vividly yet how it can feel so distant and blurry. I appreciate that Hermione didn't want me to be by myself.

"I still can't believe you're pregnant." Hermione smiles stroking my small baby bump. Her works forces me to come back to reality and turn my attention back to the woman next to me.

"I can kind of start to see it now." Her words surprises me but I know she's right. I won't be able to hide it for much longer as all of my clothes have started fitting a little tight.

"Yeah I know. Draco's coming over tomorrow afternoon and I plan on telling him then. So you'll have to be out by 2" I explain to Hermione and say the last bit with a jokingly attitude as an attempt to lighten up the mood, but I'm totally honest.

"Yeah I'll strut around Diagon Alley for a bit I think." Hermione explains taking a sip of her tea.

"So how is it with you and Ron?" I ask partly wanting to turn the attention away from myself and party because I genuinely care.

"It's absolutely brilliant. I've never been so happy as when I'm with him. This is what I've always wanted." She explains then she continues,

"Have you heard anything from Ginny? She hasn't answered any of my letters I've sent her." Her words are laced with an underlying concern so I am quick to try and calm her.

"I bet she's just taking care and recovering with Harry at home. I bet he keeps her busy." I explain.

"Have you heard anything from my brother?" I ask her looking down at my half empty cup. I haven't dared to think to much of Isaac. With everything going on it would just be to much for me.

"No nothing" I can feel hermiones sad eyes looking at me trying to figure me out. She puts her hand on my shoulder and continues-

"He's fine Selena. Isaacs strong, believe me. I've lived with him for six years. I bet he's, just like Harry, recovering. The last time I heard from him he told me how ashamed he is for fighting on the wrong side of the war. He did switch sides in the middle of it all, but I believe he doesn't feel like he fits in with everyone else now with that big black ugly-" Hermione cuts herself off before she finished that sentence and that soothes me as my fiancé or ex fiancé maybe, has one too.

"I've said to much... sorry." She continues but we continue on with our more normal casual conversation about the twins shop and about her and Ron.

The next morning I wake up with Hermione violently shaking my body.

"I don't know how we did it, but we've slept till noon and Draco will be here any second!" Hermione frantically yells in my face and I feel my nerves rise with every panicked breath I take.

"Okay okay! I'm awake! You!" I shout as I point at Hermione "get out! I just need to get dressed and brush my teeth." I explain.

Hermione quickly gets dressed and puts all her stuff back where they should be. Then she gives me a quick goodbye hug and leaves.

And just as she has left the shop I can hear the little bell over the door ring letting me know that someone else has entered.

"Selena?" I hear Draco's familiar voice from downstairs. It's crazy how someone's voice can affects you in such a way his does to me. All my muscles relax but I know that I shouldn't let the calm wash over me just yet.

"Up here!" I stick my head out the door to my little living space and Draco quickly makes his way upstairs.

"Hello" he hugs me and kisses my cheek when he comes into my room. However I can tell that him too has the same level of nervousness as I do.

"Hi" I smile at him.

"So what did you want to do today? Walk around town? Shop? Malfoy's manor-" Draco keeps giving me options but I cut him off fairly quick.

"Actually Draco. There's something we need to talk about." I explain seriously as I lead him towards the kitchen table taking a seat at one of the chairs. Draco follows and sits down opposite me.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Draco asked frantically and the worried look on his face is actually adorable.

"Okay so there's no easy way of saying this so I'm just gonna say it. Draco I-"

"Are you breaking up with me again? Because I can't take that Selena. I love you." Draco becomes all frantic and quickly proves his love for me by giving me a passionate kiss.

"No no no Draco I'm not.....,

I'm pregnant."

Draco looks frozen in place and he doesn't move a muscle as his jaw is hanging low.

"Bu... but, how? How is that possible? We haven't....."

"Christmas"

"Christmas?" Draco yells.

"Have you known since Christmas?" He yells again louder this time.

"No of course not! I've known for a few weeks."

"And you didn't have the stomach of actually telling me? That, that you're..

you're pregnant."

"I wanted to I really really wanted to but, when I found out we weren't together anymore and I didn't know how to even begin. In the beginning I was just crying myself to sleep every night because I didn't know what to do. Or how to move on with my life from there." I explain and a feel a single tear fall down my face.

"Selena love it's okay. It's okay. I'm sorry for how I reacted I'm just, shocked. That's all. And you must understand how I feel right now this just came out of the blue." Draco explains.

"I know I know and I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. " I tell him and I'm relieved that he's taking it better than I expected.

"So you'll come home with me to the manner now. I can't have you stay here anymore and there's no reason for us not to live together. You can come home with me and we'll plan everything out how we're going to do this. It'll be like the old times when you used to stay at my place during our breaks from school, except this time it's not going to be just the two of us. We have a little baby Selena... we're going to have a baby. My father never was the best, he didn't do all the things that a father should do with his children. He didn't treat me the way that I now know I deserved to be treated and he forced me into the darkness. But I promise you love I will be so much better than he ever was. We will show all the family and friends that doubted us how wonderful our life will be. And I can get us our own home! A house where our child can grow up and where we can grow old. " Draco speaks with such excitement that he's stumbling over his own words but the glimmer in his eyes tells me that he is genuine about everything he's telling me.

"That sounds like a wonderful life Draco. And I would love to share it with you."

Once again let me know what you thought of this chapter and I genuinely want to know how many of you would want this story to be continued? Love, W.
