Riddle Me This

Chapter 81 (Last Chapter)

Catherine's POV

I smiled gently as I woke up to Draco's chest in my face. Four years of marriage was sometimes hard to wrap my mind around. I couldn't believe how lucky I was, marrying the first person I fell in love with. I slipped out of bed quietly. Draco had today off, but I had a shift at St. Mungo's. But I also had another reason to slip out of bed early.

I snuck into our bathroom, pulling out my wand and breathing deeply.

"Gravida Probatur." I whispered. When I glowed a bright gold, I couldn't help the smile that took over. Draco and I had decided a few months ago that we were ready for children. I had an appointment before my shift, where they'd verify it, but I was so excited to tell Draco the news. But I'd wait until I got home today from work. Don't want to get him all excited just to leave him to himself. So to St. Mungo's I went, pressing a gentle kiss to Draco's forehead as he continued to sleep.

"Well well well. Look at you." Pansy said as she came into the examination room. I smiled a little.

"Hey Pansy." She sat down and pulled out her wand.

"Ready?" She asked. I nodded excitedly. "Gravida Probatur!" And I glowed a brilliant yellow again. Pansy automatically squealed. "Merlin's beard, congratulations Cat!" She said as she hugged me. We both squealed happily and jumped up and down.

"Can we see how far along I am?" I asked. Pansy nodded quickly, laying me down and applying ointments on my stomach before using a few spells, before a little image appeared above my belly.

"Two weeks." Pansy announced proudly. I squealed happily. "Draco's going to be so excited." She said. I nodded and gently pet below the ointments. Pansy was quick to clean me up, gave me potions, and set up our next appointment, Pansy assigning herself as my prenatal Healer because she didn't trust anyone else.

"I'll let the higher ups know." Pansy said as we left the examination room together. "Now go easy. All because you're a Healer doesn't mean you need to push yourself now that you're taking care of two." I smiled gently.

"Of course Pansy. I'll let the head healer in my division know which potions I can't work with." I said. Pansy smiled at me proudly.

"Good girl. You should still be able to safely shift into your animagus form for the first two trimesters. So maybe see if you can work more in the children's ward than with the potions." Pansy suggested, I nodded and did just that.

When I got home that night, Draco was in the potions lab.

"Hey Kitty." He said as he finished the step he was on, allowing the potion he was working on to simmer, coming into the sitting room and closing the room up. "How was work?" He kissed me gently. I smiled.

"I can think of something a little more exciting to talk about." I said. Draco smirked as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Oh really?" He asked, bringing his lips down to kiss at my neck. I giggled.

"I'm pregnant." I said cheerfully. Draco froze mid kiss, pulling back and staring into my eyes.

"Seriously?" He asked. I smiled wide and nodded.

"Two weeks along." I confirmed. Draco dropped to his knees infront of me, looking at my flat stomach, before leaning forward and nuzzling the spot where our child was growing.

"This is amazing. The Malfoy heir." Draco breathed out. "We're going to be parents." I smiled as a happy tear rolled down my face, nodding.

"And the plus side is, we'll be able to rely on Ginny and Hermione." I said with a giggle. Ginny and Harry didn't wait long after Hermione and I got married to marry, but they started their family earlier. James Sirius is already two and driving Ginny nuts. And she's now pregnant again, as is Hermione.
