[Draco and Hermione] Catch Me When I Fall

~Thirty Three~

So it's been a little while.
So much for me wanting to update every week but... I have a 10 month old I'm chasing after so it's a bit tough to update let alone write. But I promise I'm trying.... I'm trying to get this fix finished because I have a new one in the works for you all... ☺️☺️☺️

Anyway I hope you all enjoy 😉

Chapter 33

A few more weeks had passed and Hermione was tired, sickly thin and weak. Unbeknown to Draco she had continued to force herself to eat in front of him, even if soon after she was in the toilet bringing the contents of her stomach right back up again.

It was now nearing the end of February and things had been so hectic that Hermione had put off going to St Mungo's to get a check up. Harry and Ginny had called their son Albus as a remembrance to Professor Albus Dumbledore who died because of Voldemort which Hermione thought was a lovely gesture.

As Hermione looked in the mirror she didn't know what to think, she was tired, almost dead tired and she was always feeling sick. She turned to her side and craned her head and looked at her half naked body. Her purple lace bra and matching underwear were now too big and hung against her body instead of hugging it nicely like they used to and she was more pale then she would like to admit.

She sighed before grabbing her short v-neck purple dress off the hanger against the mirror and slipping it over her body and pulling the zipper up the side of her dress as it stopped just nicely under her arm revealing a lace belt which went around her middle and was finished off with a lovely purple flower to match. Sitting on the edge of the bed she then slipped on her black open toed high heels which buckled up just above the ankle.

She took one last look in the mirror before she stood and made her way out of the bedroom and down the hall, grabbing her hand bag at the door and making her exit.

————————

She stood outside the beautiful grey building which from the outside to non- magical folk just looked like a church. Standing at the bottom of the stairs she gazed at the sign which to normal people was just a church but to someone who was magical it read 'St Mungo's Hospital'

She took one more deep breath before taking her first step up the concrete stairs toward the entrance. Once inside she walked over to the reception desk where a blonde woman with purple and blue highlights throughout her hair sat with an ear piece and microphone. She had her head down and wasn't looking up to even look at Hermione and she was speaking to someone on the phone.

'Alright why don't you come on in and we will do some tests, that will be the only way to know if you've been hit with a curse or not, alright, buh-bye.'

'Excuse me,' Hermione spoke as the woman looked up and smiled gently at the brunette. 'Can you tell me where doctor Theodore Nott is please? I have an appointment.'

'Level 2, room 204 honey!' The woman replied as Hermione thanked her and walked off, gaining speed as she saw an elevator with its doors about to close going up.

She finally reached her destination and checked in with the ward clerk before taking her seat, resting her bag in her hands which were sitting on the top of her knees and tapped her feet, waiting nervously.

What felt like hours only turned out to be minutes as she constantly glanced up at the clock on the wall to check the time. Every few minutes she glanced back up and finally looked up to see Theodore Nott standing in front of her, his long white coat down to his ankles and his hands in the coat pockets.

'Hermione Granger, do what do I owe the pleasure?' He asked as Hermione watched him look her up and down as she finally stood up and slung her handbag back over her shoulder as she took a deep breath in and looked him directly in the eyes.

'You're the best OBGYN in the country and I need a blood test to find out how far pregnant I am!'

'Draco?' Theo asked as he watched Hermione nod and rest her hands on her belly.

'I just- I need to know that everything's okay before I say anything to him. Especially after what happened last time.'

'Okay. We can do that, right this way,' Theo replied as they began walking toward a room where Hermione noticed that his name was on the door, underneath was the term (MD, OB/GYN) but she quickly stopped and looked at him who had stopped at his doorway and was looking at her with a slight frown.

'What?' She asked as Theo shook his head and half smiled at her.

'Sorry I just- never would have imagined you and Malfoy... together.'

'Trust me Theodore...'

'Theo, please.'

'Theo,' Hermione said with a half smile and a nod. 'Trust me when I say that not even I would have even thought I would end up falling for Draco Malfoy.'

They walked inside and sat down opposite each other and Hermione watched Theo open up pages on his computer. His eyes glancing at the screen as he read the notes in front of him before turning to look at Hermione with a small smile.

'I'm guessing you've already been to see your GP?'

'Yes,'

'And?' Theo asked as he turned back to his computer as Hermione began to explain to him all about the her visit to her doctor and why she was now sitting in front of Theodore Nott.
