-Hermione Granger-

"Are you sure?" Draco asks as I pick up my phone. He huffs and grabs my phone from me, making me scowl. "Hermione are you one hundred percent sure you want to talk to this guy."

"Yes." I say, my voice wavering slightly. I take a deep breath and sit up. "Yes I need to." My voice is stronger this time and Draco's eyes soften before he gives it to me.

I open up my phone app and click on Harry's missed call contact. My phone starts to ring but before I can place it on my ear, Draco puts it on speaker.

In less then three rings the phone is picked up.

"Hey Mione!" Harry's voice is worrying but happy.

"Hey..." I say in a small voice. "Whyd you call me."

The other line is quiet for a second. "I saw you're dating Draco Malfoy" Harry huffs and I nod even though he can't see me.

"I am"

"Why? He's a prick, don't date him." Harry groans.

"Shut up." I growl at the insult. "You forfeited the right to tell me what I should and shouldn't do when you left." My voice is deep and pissy.

"Looks What he's already done!" Harry shouts at me. "Mione you never get angry!"

"Don't call me 'Mione'! And I'm angry because you don't know Draco yet you had the audacity to call him a prick!! How arrogant are you!"

"Me? Arrogant?! Ha you've got to be kidding me! Check who you're dating and then come back to me!"

"WHY DID YOU EVEN CALL ME!!" I scream into the phone, causing Theo to wake up and Draco to grab my hand. I relax slightly as tingles fly up my arm from his touch.

Theo mouths 'whats going on' but Draco shakes his head no and I roll my eye.

"I called you to tell you that you made a mistake by getting with Draco and that you should get back with Ron."

"No." I say sternly, in a scary calm voice. "I'm not leaving Draco. I love him."

"You don't love him. You just feel like you do because you were pregnant with his kids."

"Shut up" I growl, my teeth gritting at the thought of my babies.

"What? Are you afraid I'm right?!"

"Harry shut up!!" My voice cracks and tears come to my eyes.

"No because I'm right! You don't love him! You just feel like you have to stay with him because he knocked you up!!"

I open my mouth to speak but a sob wracks from my body, causing me to shake and tears to spill.

"Fuck you, you shallow piece of shit." My voice cracks and my stomach wrenches, making me what to throw up.

I end the phone call and burry my head into my hands. I continue to sob as Draco pulls me into a large bear hug. I cry into his chest for awhile, thinking about our babies that we lost...all because of me.

-Draco's POV-

I hold her hand as we walk down the hall of the large hotel in the middle of Beijing. Hermione drags her feet as she walks, her hand is limp in mine and her head is hanging low.

Once we get to our room she sits on her bed and twiddles her thumbs in her lap as she stairs down at them.

"Baby..." I sigh and walk towards her, kneeling in front of her. She shrugs out of my touch, making her frown deepen.

"I'm sorry Draco...I'm such a bad mum. I'm too weak, how will I ever-"

"Hermione. Hush." I say sternly. She shuts her mouth for a second before starting to talk again.

"Im not fine." Tears well and her eyes again and her voice wavers. "I know I said I was. But I'm not." She pauses again before she takes a deep breath. "I don't feel like..." she pauses and shakes her head. "Like I should be a-alive..."

"No don't say that" I say, tears now springing to my eyes. She looks down at me with puffy red eyes and a red tipped runny nose. He lips is quivering, just making my tears now fall. "Don't say that. You deserve to be alive. You deserve everything." I huff out and pull her into a hug.

"I lost them Draco. It's all my fault." I shake my head and hold tightly onto her, my whole body shaking.

"It's not you fault. You need to know that."

"I'm sorry that I'm a bad girlfriend, a bad m-"

"Hermione please stop." I pull away from her and wipe her tears. She does the same to me but both of us just continue to drop tears down our faces. "You deserve the world. Ok? You are a great girlfriend and you will be a great mother. So don't ever say that you don't deserve to live because that's a lie."

"Thank you" she whispers and grips my shirt, her lip still quiver and her breathing rigid.

"I love you Hermione. If I ever lost you I think I'd go crazy."

-The next day-

I pull Hermione out of bed, making her groan in protest.

"Let me sleeep"

"No we have to get going. We have a tour to get to." I chuckle and just then our friends come barging into the room.

Hermione squeaks and my eyes go wide. I grab the blankets and cover both of us in them. Not like I need it though, only her.

"What the hell guys!" I groan and Hermione burrows her head into my neck.

"Let's go! The tour bus is coming in 10 minutes!"

"Hermione isn't even dressed" I say in a scolding tone. They all laugh and shrug.

"We've all seen her naked" Pansy giggles and I furrow my eyebrows. "We've been best friends for five years, and friends before that."

"Well to be fair, I've only seen her in her undergarments." Theo points out. Hermione laughs into my neck and I roll my eyes.

"Ok well get out. Give us some time." I huff at the three people standing at our hotel door way.

They all laugh as they leave the room, Pansy's obviously being the loudest because when she laughs. She laughs. It's insane.

Hermione slides out of my arms and drops the blankets, revealing a black lacy set of undergarments.

"I bought those" I point out and she smirks.

"That you did."

Hermione grabs her suit case but furrows her eyebrows when she finds its empty.

"I put our clothes away in the closet." I tell her.

We're here for a week so I figured why not put them away.

"Oh ok"
