"Yeah I know he's cute,
But he's mine.
Touch him, and I'll kill you"

Hermione lay on the floor in the bathroom, staring up at the ceiling, her hands on her flat stomach.
She had been sick three times that hour, the door locked, And sitting on the other side was Draco, falling into an exhausted sleep, before waking himself up and furrowing his eyebrows.
Hermione sighed, her eyes welling with tears and she sobbed to her hearts content, punching the floor in frustration.
Life was going to get extremely harder.
No job.. no clue of money.. two children, a wedding, and a baby on the way..

"What am I going to do.. what are we going to do?!"she moaned, wiping her tears away.

"I'm.. I'm gonna have to take the aurors job.."she mumbled, eyes wide with realisation.
Hermione jumped up, feeling nauseous and shaky, and opened the door.

Draco fell backwards, and hit his head on the tiles, Hermione helped him up- Well.. tried to, until he hit her away and picked her up in his steely grasp.

"You need to call Blaise!"Hermione croaked.

"Why?"

"Because I need to tell him something,"

"About?"

"It's... Nothing."Hermione sighed, leaning into his chest as he carried her down the stairs and onto the couch.

"It must be something or you wouldn't have asked me to drag Blaise and his diseased girlfriend over here".

Hermione skulked, curling up in a blanket that was draped across the couch, and looked up into Draco's face, tears pricking at the corners of her eyes.

"I want to take the auror job.."
Draco clenched and unclenched his jaw, his eyes brows furrowed in deep thought.

"I don't know what we're going to do.. you don't have a business anymore, but you working, a-and I'm not, which puts affect on everything because now we have a baby on the way, and two children, and-"

"Hermione calm down!"he cried in a quiet voice, leaning down and taking her hands within his.

"Everything will be fin-"

"How can you say that? Your having to stay at home with your burden of a girlfriend, not going to work, when you could be, you can't because of m-" she burst into tears, it was fascinating at how much she could cry without flooding the house.

Draco pulled her close into his chest, where she fisted his shirt and sobbed harder.
"What if something happens to you when your out and about?"he whispered into her hair.

"I can take care of myself.. I am the brightest witch of my age,"she chuckled, sniffling.
Draco laughed, his chest vibrating, and his heart beat slowing.
"Well, I am here to look after you, do go upstairs to bed, I will bring the tv, and we can stay in all day watching box sets,"
Hermione nodded, a small grin on her face.
"Don't forget the food"she sniffled.
