Everyone could tell the birth would be soon just by looking at Draco. His eyes had small black circles and he was constantly tired. He didn't participate in the office jokes as much and they knew better than to push him. Every time the phone went Draco jumped and it was no different this time except it was the call. Hermione was in labour. Draco started to panic he grabbed his car keys and sped to the house to pick up Hermione's overnight bag before driving to the hospital. Luckily the young girl weasel had been looking after Hermione as the due date got closer and was no doubt the one who had driven Hermione in.
Walking into the hospital Draco made the appropriate calls to the Grangers. He would have called his his family but they didn't want anything to do with his new life. Draco met Ginny at the waiting room and he quickly met with a doctor. Next thing he was ushered into a room where his beautiful wife was lying on the bed. He hated the look of pain in her eyes but he relaxed when she was given an epidural.
'Draco I'm so glad your here baby.'
Hearing Hermione's voice brought a calm and strength over the former Slytherin. He was here for his wife, the woman he loved more than anything, he needed to be strong for her like she had been so many times for him. Moving forward he came to her side kissing her forehead and holding her hand in his. Tears welled in his eyes as it finally hit that he was going to be a father.
The doctor came in and the midwife. It was time. Hermione began to moan in pain and Draco began to soothe his wife. He gently stroked the top of her head, he'd learnt over the years that it was something Hermione found incredibly soothing and he hoped it would help her now. He also muttered soft encouragements.
'Your doing great baby.'
'Keep going baby you can do this.'
'I love you my darling.'
The doctor kept muttering encouragements alongside Draco. His were less exciting than Draco's, more along the lines of 'keep pushing' and 'the baby's coming'.
Hermione began to make louder noises and his heart twisted before the doctor announced that one last push would make him a father. The crying filled the room and the tears in both of the young couples eyes slipped over onto their cheeks. Draco kissed his beautiful wife as the nurse cleaned up their child. He watched the nurse hand their baby to Hermione and felt a rush of joy equal only to his wedding day.
'Welcome to the world Lawrence Malfoy. We're very happy to finally meet you.'
Draco kissed his wife gently taking the baby into his arms as the Granger's and Weasley's entered the small hospital room. There were a lot of tears in that room. The Weasley's had been amazing taking Draco in when his family had disowned him. They had taught him to be a good person, someone finally worthy of the woman he loved. The woman who he had married and had just given birth to his child.
