-Hermione Granger-

I twist and turn on the couch as Draco tickles me senseless.

"Stoppp" I whine while laughing and holding his arms.

"Make me" He growls back playfully, making my stomach flip. I continue to giggle as he continue to tickle me.

The small moments like these are some of my favorites, because they may be small but they mean a lot and they are the memories that make me smile in the middle of the day when I think of them.

"Imma hurt you" I huff while laughing, trying and failing to eat him to stop tickling me. He takes too much joy in my suffering.

"Oh please a fluff ball like you can't hurt me"

I scowl at him and he chuckles, Draco buries his face into my neck and stops tickling me. Much to my relief.

"Baby I have another meeting tonight. You don't have to come if you don't want..." Draco sadly informs me. My breath hitches and I wrap my arms around him, holding him into me.

"I'm coming. Your fight is my fight" I tell him and kiss his temple. "Don't make me stand in the guide lines. I may be pregnant but I'm not useless" I tell him and I feel him smile into my neck.

"Ok" he whisper, the vibrations from his voice ricocheting through me. "We should get ready then"

Draco sighs and climbs off of the couch, picking me up with him. I can tell he tired, tired of the meeting tired of the Mafia. I want to get him out but we can't get out. If we want out we have to die...we know too much right now.

Draco takes us to our bathroom and we shower. I do my hair afterwards, trying to tame it and then change into a pair of black high waisted jean shorts and a white shirt that says 'drama queen' in the middle of the chest in rainbow letters. The shirt tucks into my shorts and I smirk in content.

The outfit hides my tiny bump pretty well which is good because I'm not ready to show yet, I wasn't ready for a baby, let alone babies. I'm so irresponsible. I haven't even told my mom, dad, or brother.

I slip on a pair of my adidas and meet Draco down stairs. He's in a black pair of jeans and a black shirt.

"I really wish you weren't in this" I say again.

"Me too"

-The meeting-

I continue to hold my head in the crook of Draco's neck as he rubs my back. I'm feeling really nauseous right now but I don't want to get up and inturupt the meeting. I know I'm not going to puke, I just feel sick.

The overwhelming smell of alcohol and cigarettes are driving me insane.

I told Draco that I didn't feel good and he is just trying to comfort me as all the other girls sit proudly on the laps of the other members. Their outfits are repulsive, I can't believe people actually dress like that.

I'll admit, I'm not an angel but I don't dress in a bra top that barely covers my boobs and shorts that are more of underwear along with six inch heels.

"Are you feeling better?" Draco whisper to me as the other guys converse and Draco just listens in right now.

I shake my head no and he sighs. "Do you want to leave?"

"I'll be fine, just finish the meeting" I mumble and he nods, I can tell he's reluctant to listen about staying but he does what I tell him.

"So Draco, how is your beauty doing?"

"She's good, just a bit tired" Draco answers smoothly and holds me closer to him.

I think it's LaRue that he's talking to.

"I'm sure, caring three babies must be hard on the body" he says and I hear a couple of gasps from girls and members that didn't previously know.

"She's been dealing with it like a true champ, just sometimes it's a little overwhelming" Draco says tightly and kisses my temple.

I sit up and turn towards the table, plastering a small smile on my lips. "I'm fine" I emphasize 'fine' a little snarkily.

"Malfoy are you going to let your bitch talk to us like that?" Some guys says, probably in his early twenties like Draco.

His blond hair is messy and his stone blue eyes are dead, reminding me of how Draco's used to be except his were grey.

"Talk about her like that again and I'll kill you Ricci."

"You won't do shit" Ricci responds. Draco grabs my waist and stands up, setting me on the ground. I grab his arm but he looks at me, anger and annoyance written all over his face.

I let go of his arm, still being scared when Draco is like this. When he's angry he's scary. I've only ever seen him angry like this once before and that was when I threatened to leave him. It was a joke but he took it seriously and he got really mad...

Draco stalks towards Ricci who is now also standing up but is a lot shorter then Draco, giving him the upper hand.

"Would you like to say something to my face now Ricci" Draco growls down at the shorter man who doesn't show any fear...yet.

"Tell your bitch to behave herself or she won't live to see her first maternity dress" He spits at Draco. Tears spring to my eyes as I think about me and the babies being killed. I don't want to die, I don't want my babies to die, Dracos babies to die.

Draco's fist collided with Riccis nose, making a loud crack ring in the silent room, the only sounds coming from Draco and Ricci.

Ricci spits some blood back at him, getting it on his black shirt. My eyes widen as Draco swings at him again, making him fall to the ground. He kicks his ribs, making another crack sound.

Draco picks him up by the neck and lifts him in the air, making him dangle while choking for air. Ricci grabs Draco's arm in attempt to stop him but isn't able to stop him.

I gulp as I realize he is going to far, he'll kill him if someone doesn't do anything.

I break myself out of my stone placement and run forward, grabbing Draco's shoulder.

"Hermione go" Draco growls lowly as the man continues to gasp for air.

"Don't kill him Draco! Remember we talked about this! No killing! Remember!" I say frantically, not knowing what to do. "You promised me!" I shake him and he doesn't budge.

I see Riccis eyes start to droop and my heart rate picks up. This all happened because I could keep my mouth shut and had to make a rude comment.

"Draco stop or I'm taking the babies away!" I yell as a last resort. Draco instantly drop Ricci and turns to face me, a pissed off expression on his face.

"You'll what?" He says in a daring tone, obviously still mad but not at me... I'm just in the cross fire.

"If you kill anyone I'm taking the babies away from you" I whisper, taking the dare and risk. Draco snarls at me and grabs my wrist, dragging me out of the bar and into his car.

Oh boy, im in deep shit now.
