Draco tip-toed down the stairs, wincing as one of his slippers made contact with a creaky floorboard. He paused, continuing only when he was certain that no one had heard him. Slinking down the hallway, he slipped into the library and cautiously lit a candle.
Draco silently made his way over to a bookcase, searching until he found what he was looking for. Cradling his first edition copy of "Chocolate Through the Ages" to his chest, he flipped to the back cover, revealing a secret compartment. "What the--?!" He stared in disbelief at the empty box, where all of his chocolate-covered cherries had once resided.
A soft snore from behind Draco made him almost drop the book in surprise. He whipped around to face the loveseat, not entirely surprised to see his heavily pregnant wife slumbering there. Crouching by her side, he grinned roguishly before leaning in….

Ginny woke slowly to the feel of someone, or something, licking her face. She almost screamed before she remembered that she had eaten all of Draco's "hidden" stash of chocolate-covered cherries and had probably forgotten to wipe her face. "Mmm…Draco, stop. It tickles!" she giggled, opening her eyes and lightly pushing on his shoulders. She sighed in relief when he helped her sit up and lean against the arm of the loveseat.
"So, madam, what happened to my cherries?" he playfully demanded.
"Hey, what baby wants, baby gets," she informed him loftily as she patted her expanded belly.
"I love you," Draco told their baby as he kissed his wife's belly button. "And I love you," he told Ginny, tenderly kissing her lips.
"We love you, too," she told him, wrapping him in her arms as he leaned his cheek against her chest, listening to her heartbeat. And thus, the family Malfoy entered slumber land.
