AS THEY LANDED in the mansions drawing room, nobody said a word for a few seconds, they were just relieved.

The two families breathed heavily as they got used to their surroundings. Jasmine hadn't been in her house in months, it hadn't been lived in by anyone, because they had been at Malfoy Manor, even the house elves had followed the family there.

Jasmine turned to look at Draco, who was already looking at her.

"I'm so proud of you" She told him, her lips breaking into a smile, remembering how he had risked his life to get Harry his wand. She held him close as he leant down to press his lips against hers.

"I'm proud of you." Draco told her as they pulled away, pressing their foreheads together.

"do you think he survived? Voldemort I mean" Theo spoke up, looking to their parents.

The three of them shook their heads no at this. "His killing curse couldn't even kill Harry, there was no way he was going to survive, he had grown weak." Narcissa replied as Lucius wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

They were finally safe. All of them.

Four months later.

JASMINE AND DRACO HAD MOVED OUT OF their childhood homes, and into their own house, not too far from either of their parents homes.

Their house wasn't all that different to those they had grown up in, the main difference being colour. Jasmine had made it her mission for their home not to be dark and dull.

Jasmine was nine months pregnant and just about ready to pop, feeling inherently massive as she moved through their house.

She and Draco often had visitors to their house, namely Jasmine's Hufflepuff friends as well as their Slytherin friends. Draco and Harry had even spoken, Harry thanking Draco for throwing him his wand, the day that he killed Voldemort.

Whilst Jasmine knew they would never be the best of friends, they were civil and had moved past their childish feud that once ruled over their lives.

Jasmine had been having twinges all day. Braxton Hick's contractions. Or so she thought they were Braxton Hick's.

Draco walked into their drawing room as he saw his very pregnant wife leaning against a sofa, rocking back and forth and breathing heavily, trying to keep herself calm, because her contractions were getting stronger, and she didn't want to admit what it meant.

She was terrified of the thought of giving birth, and terrified at the thought of being a mother.

"Jas? What's the matter?" Draco asked, moving over her straight away and placing his hand on her back, rubbing in circles.

"Braxton Hicks" Jasmine breathed out as a contraction passed, "are you sure? They seem pretty strong." Draco nervously spoke, also fearing that his wife was in full blown labour.

Jasmine was about to reply when another contraction hit her and she felt something wet trickle down her legs.

"actually, I'm not sure, I think my waters have gone" Jasmine then spoke as the contraction passed, Jasmine moving to grip onto Draco's hands.

"Oh shit, oh shit, what do I do?" Draco asked, clearly getting worried for his wife.

"Your mother, owl your mother" Jasmine breathed out as another one hit her, they were getting fairly close together now.

Draco let Jasmine's hand go momentarily as he wrote to his mother on a piece of parchment, running to where his owl was and rushing it to the Malfoy Mansion.

Draco ran back, taking her hand in his once more and allowing her to lean on him. "Lets get you upstairs yeah? and onto the bed" Draco told her, she nodded and allowed him to walk her up the stairs, stopping for her when she had a contraction.

He would've just apparated them up there, but she wouldn't be strong enough to, at all.

As Draco helped her onto the bed, Draco's mother apparated into the house, and followed the sounds of Jasmine's groaning, huffing and puffing and into the couple's bedroom.

She walked in to find Jasmine on all fours, with Draco rubbing her back. Jasmine had tears streaming down her face from the pain.

"Oh, merlin! Jasmine! How are you feeling?" Narcissa asked as she pulled off her coat and moved to be by her daughter in law's side.

"ahhh! like I want it out of me!" Jasmine cried as she tried to breathe through another contraction. Draco looked up to his mother, absolutely terrified.

"what can I do?" Draco asked his mother, clearly wanting to do everything he could for his wife.

"get me hot water, towels, and warm blankets" Narcissa told him and he nodded, getting his wand out.

"Accio towels, Accio water, Accio blankets" Jasmine heard Draco shout, the items coming to be in his hands.

She heard as he cast Incendio in order to boil the water so it would be hot.

Jasmine practically screamed as she moved to lie on her back with the help of Narcissa. Draco immediately rushed back towards his wife as he heard her scream.

"Its coming, oh my merlin! I can feel it coming" Jasmine screeched as she reached her hand down to feel the top of a head coming out of her.

Draco rushed to take her hand as Narcissa went to the bottom end of the bed, "you're doing so well, Jas!" Narcissa encouraged her as she squeezed Draco's hand so tight he thought she might break his hand.

"Why did you do this to me? I'll hex you for this" Jasmine turned to look at Draco, screaming once again as she pushed.

Narcissa laughed at what Jasmine had said, Draco on the other hand looked quite scared.

"That's it Jas, your baby is nearly here" Narcissa told the couple, Jasmine screaming as she pushed once more, squeezing onto Draco's hand.

"It hurts, it hurts so much" Jasmine cried as she had a break between contractions.

"you can do this, Jas. I know you can" Draco looked at his wife in the eyes, full of sincerity.

"One more Jas, and I think your baby will be here" Narcissa told her and she pushed hard down, sweat dripping down her forehead as she squeezed her eyes shut.

Jasmine huffed and relaxed as she felt a sort of release, hearing the cries of a baby.

Both Jasmine and Draco looked down, to see his mother holding their baby, whom was wrapped in a towel. Narcissa passed the baby up to Jasmine, who immediately had tears rolling down her face at the sight of the small baby.

"You have a baby boy" Narcissa told them, a wide grin on her face with tears coming from her eyes.

"a boy?" Draco asked, moving to look at the baby, tears also streaming down his face.

"I'm so proud of you" Draco told her, pressing a kiss to Jasmine's forehead. He looked at the gorgeous baby that his wife was holding and couldn't help but smile.

"I love you" Jasmine told him, he smiled at her, leaning down to press a kiss to her lips, "I love you too" He told her, before they both turned their attentions back to their gorgeous baby boy.

"Happy birthday, Luca Draco Malfoy"
