A/N…welp…the beginning to another wonderful story…I hope so at least. To all of you who haven't read the first story "Opposites Attract" I suggest you go and read that one before reading this one, or else this one won't make any sense. Last story I was following some other people's stories and conceived ideas of my own from those, but this time I'm doing this story cold turkey and making it up all on my own. I have some idea's brewing, so it should be an interesting story. I decided to start this at a different point then where I said I would, but I think it turned out well. Well no more talking…onto the first chapter!!!
Disclaimer…everything in this story, with the exception of my plot line…belongs to the oh so wonderful goddess JK Rowling…who will soon be richer than Bill Gates…
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
A tall brunette woman stood in front of the mirror, watching in horror as water streaked down her leg, soaking the fabric of her denim maternity overalls. "Oh God," She whispered, "Draco!"
Her blonde husband ran into the room, his face flushed. "What's wrong Hermione?" He gazed down at her legs.
"My water just broke." She gasped, sitting down on the toilet as a contraction rocked her body, her husband ran over to aide his wife.
"I'll call the hospital and get the bag, go sit in the living room, now!" He commanded, his face as white as a ghost.
Hermione did as she was told and waddled into the living room to sit on the couch. They were living in a suite in a large muggle hotel until their new home was finished being furnished. The Malfoy Manor had been demolished at the request of Draco's mother and she was now living in their vacation home near the ocean.
The next minutes went by in a rush as the couple rushed to the hospital in a cab. Soon enough the doctors were telling her to push. She hadn't been in labor more than a few hours luckily. The pain was unlike anything she had ever experienced, she knew that she wanted to have a natural birth, but she wanted a muggle birth, not a magical one. She grabbed Draco's hand as the doctor yelled at her to push one last time.
"Draco…Malfoy…I…swear…if….I…make….it…through…this….I…will….kill…you! AHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as her daughter was pushed out of her followed by the horrible feeling of the afterbirth sliding out of her as well.
"Congratulations, you have a beautiful healthy baby girl." The doctor said, handing Hermione a bloody baby, she wasn't crying but looking around the room in amazement.
"Oh Merlin Hermione, she's beautiful." Draco whispered, stroking his wife's tousled hair.
"What's her name?" Hermione's mother asked from the bedside.
"Haley Rose Malfoy." The couple said together, smiling at each other.
"Welcome to the world little child, we will be your guides." Hermione cooed at the baby, stroking her cheek. She drifted off to sleep after the nurse came and took the baby from her, she had never felt so tired.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The following weeks in the suite were hellish. Haley wouldn't sleep for more than an hour at a time and woke up every hour on the hour, Hermione swore she could set her clock by her. Harry and Ron had come and seen the baby the day after Hermione gave birth, and had stopped by a time or two after then. They were both now on training for the Ministry to become aurors.
When the couple's new home was finished completely, they moved in. It was a large contemporary home, with high ceilings, large fireplaces, and innovative architecture. The pool in the backyard had a built in waterfall and hot tub as well. The color white was dominant and sea blue was the lesser color throughout the house.
Hermione wasn't working at the time, and neither was Draco, and frankly, they could live on Draco's father's money for their entire lives but Hermione would not stand for it.
One day, while Hermione was cleaning house and Haley was napping with Draco, she heard a knock at the door. Narcissa stood in the doorway, wearing all black robes and carrying a large dragon hide handbag.
"Hermione dear! How nice it is to see you again. You look wonderful for just have given birth four weeks ago." She smiled in a bubbly way. Hermione had never seen her mother in law like this, and suspected her to be a bit drunk.
"Please come in, mom." She wasn't used to calling her that yet, but tried her hardest. She took her mother-in-law's coat and bag and led her into the sitting room. "Let me go get Draco up, would you like anything to drink?"
"No that's quite alright dear."
Hermione went into their master bedroom to find Draco asleep peacefully on their bed, Haley slept soundly in the next room. She nudged her sleeping husband until he woke up.
"What is it?" He muttered groggily, rolling over on his side.
"Your mother is here." She giggled.
He sat up abruptly, sending waves through their oversized waterbed. "My mother is…where?!" He got up and ran a hand quickly through his hair before rushing into the sitting room. Hermione giggled softly before following them.
"Hello Draco, how are you doing dear?" Narcissa hugged her son as he stared at his mother in shock.
"Fine, but if I may ask. Why are you here mother?"
"Well, they are doing some renovation on the house, so I thought I might come live with you for a few months. I'm sure you don't mind. Merlin's sake, this place is big enough! Now, where is my granddaughter?" She smiled.
