A Little Surprise
Hermione/Draco
ONSHOT
Hermione Granger opened the front door of the Penthouse which belonged to her boyfriend or well he could be her ex now but she wasn't too sure of that right now. She closed the door as quietly as possible and then kicked off her nude heels. She dumped her designer Mulberry bag down under the hallway table and sneaked through the open plan kitchen and living room and then to the bedroom.
She stood outside the bedroom of her boyfriend and put her ear to the door. She was surprised to hear his snores it was after all three in the morning. She quietly opened the door and walked in. She stopped as she reached the bottom of the king size bed to see if she had woke him but he was still snoring away.
She carefully undid the zip of her black dress and slipped it down her body. She then walked to the empty side of the bed and slowly lowered herself to the bed.
'Hermione.' His voice groaned as he opened his eyes.
'Hi.' She said softly as she looked at him. 'I didn't mean to wake you.'
'What are you doing here?' he asked as he lifted his head and noticed that she was only in a bra and barely there knickers.
'I couldn't go through with it. I...' and she broke down in sobs.
'Thank Merlin.' He whispered as he pulled her down to him and held onto her like his life depended on it.
'I'm sorry! I'm so sorry.' She sobbed.
'I'm not sorry. I'm glad you didn't, you know I am. I never wanted you to go through that.' He said as he rubbed her back comforting. 'Is it such a horrible thought of having a Mini Malfoy?'
'Of course not!' she said as she lifted her head to look into the eyes of Draco Malfoy. 'It's the timing.'
'So it's a little early, we're both in the position to be able to afford a child Hermione. I can afford thousands if you wanted them.' He said smirking.
'I don't want a thousand, I wasn't even sure if I wanted them at all.' She said as she buried her head into his chest.
'Did you go to the clinic?' he asked hoping she hadn't.
'I went but I couldn't go inside, I couldn't do it. God Draco, it was horrible even being outside was horrible.' She said.
Draco moved his hand down to Hermione's stomach where a small bump was. Hermione was now nearly 12 weeks pregnant, they had only discovered she was pregnant a month ago which led to arguments. Hermione argued she wasn't ready and Draco argued they were. There were of course other arguments about his family, her family and whether they would cope. They didn't even live together, that was another problem.
'The thought of what might have happened today kills me Hermione. All day at work I felt like ripping my hair out. I jumped down everyone's throat even my father's. He sent me home early and told me to sort myself out. I went to your flat but I obviously missed you and God I thought you were there at that very moment killing my child.' He said as he sighed.
Hermione again began to cry. She sat up in the bed and pulled her knees up to her enhance (from pregnancy) chest.
'I could never kill Draco.' She said softly.
'Well that's what you were going to do Hermione.' He said as she sat up against the headboard of his bed. 'You said you didn't want our child.'
'I didn't mean it.' She sobbed. 'I was scared; you weren't exactly supportive at first were you?'
'I was shocked.' He explained. 'I didn't expect to become a father yet. We're only 24. I was going to have children in my 30's. Fun in my 20's, settle down in the 30's you knew that.'
'Yes I did but I didn't plan for this to happen.' She said as she stood up off of the bed and scrambled to put her dress on. 'Maybe I should have gone through with it.'
'No!' he said as he shot off the bed. 'No way! You are not going there ever! I will not have to harm my child Hermione. You are going to get back into my bed and rest.'
'You just admitted you don't want us.' She practically screamed.
'No I didn't. I was just saying I was surprised. Happily surprised. Hermione I want you, so much. I want that baby you carry, it's a part of me and a part of you, it's perfection. So it's a little earlier than we'd like but we'll cope, we always do.' He said as he pulled her to him.
'There's so much we need to sort out.' Hermione said as she relaxed into Draco's bare chest.
'Don't think about that now you'll only stress and that's not good for you or the baby.' He said as he moved them towards the bed and got Hermione to lie down.
Hermione lie next to Draco, he had this arms around her with one hand on her new baby bump. She cuddled into him and sighed.
'Draco?' she said
'Mmmm.' He replied.
'I love you.' She said as she leaned in to kiss him.
'I love you too.' He said as he pulled away from her. 'Move in with me Hermione?'
'Are you sure?' she asked nervous of his answer.
'Hermione, we're having a baby. I want my family here with me. Let's face it, my place is bigger than yours and we spend most of the time here anyway.' He said smiling. 'We can sale your place and you can put that money in a savings account or use it for maternity stuff.'
'A Penthouse isn't very baby proof Draco. You have glass windows everywhere.' She said smiling.
'We'll move then.' He said. 'We'll get a house, I've been looking into it anyway or we could move into the Manor.' He said smirking knowing there was no way on earth Hermione would live with his parents at the Manor.
'A house sounds lovely Draco.' She said as she snuggled into him.
'So was that a yes?' he asked.
'That's a yes.' She said smiling.
'What about work?' he asked.
'Well I'm hoping my boss will be understanding and give me a good maternity package especially as I haven't worked there long.' She said.
'I'm sure he'll be very understanding as you'll be carrying his Grandson.' Draco said laughing. 'I can't wait to tell my parents.'
'I doubt they'll be very happy Draco, they'll think I've trapped you.' She said softly.
'Father thinks you're amazing and mother is coming round to the idea of us. Father thinks we make a good couple but he'll never admit it.' Draco said as he kissed her head.
'Well let's hope he'll be alright with me taking some time off after the baby's born. I would like to spend time with my baby.' She said as she put her hand on her stomach.
'I expect father will expect you to quit.' He said.
'No I don't want to. I want to take six months off and then come back. We could get a nanny or I could work part time.' She said.
'Don't worry we have time to sort this all out.' He said as he kissed her. 'My son will have his mother home with him for the first year of his life; I'll make sure of it.'
'You mean your daughter Draco.' She said smiling as she looked up at him.
'My...daughter? A girl? Are you sure? When did you find out?' He said shocked as he sat up and looked at Hermione's tiny bump.
'I had a scan earlier this morning. The Healer confirmed it this morning. A little girl.' She said.
Draco's face was a picture; a huge smile was in his face. Both hands were on her bump and soon his lips too.
'Hello princess, I'm your Daddy.' He said into her stomach as if he was talking to the baby. 'I'm going to protective you from all those boys; you're going to be daddy's princess.'
'Draco she's not even born yet and you're worrying about boys.' She said laughing.
'Don't listen to mummy, she doesn't know what she's talking about.' He said into her stomach making Hermione giggle. 'Now you're going to be a good little girl for me and make sure you don't make mummy sick.'
Hermione brought her hand to Draco's blonde hair and stroked it. 'I think we'll have a Daddy's girl on our hands.'
'Of course.' Draco said as he sat up and laid down beside Hermione. 'She's my princess.'
'I love you.' She said as she kissed Draco.
