Authors Notes: Hey guys. I would like to say welcome to my new story! It is an extreme angst I have to admit. I wrote this one because well my other story was going to take some time to settle into the angst category it belonged to. So yes... sorry if its a bit to dark for you but thats my writing style :P Even that smiley seems to happy...

Lost Blood

By: Solest

Hermione was in indescribable pain.

A loud, piercing scream rang through the Weasley household. Her scream. She knew it would be painful, all the guidance from Mrs Weasley had told her so. And even though Ginny was alongside her, wincing, and Mrs Weasley was coaxing her with a very motherly smile on her face, for Hermione, it felt like too much.

Where was she? At the Weasleys of course, the only place she knew she could go to. Harry and Ron? She had left them, alone, in the search for horcruxes. It pained her to say it but she did. She had told them she just couldn't anymore and only those at the Burrow understood why. She was pregnant when she left them. At first she thought she skipped her period because of the stress 'Yes, that must be it,' she had told herself over and over. But as soon as the Death Eaters cast the human revealing spell at the Lovegood's house, she knew differently.

It was Bellatrix Lestrange's fault she was gone right now. It was her fault that she left Harry and Ron and was now literally delivering life into the world. The bitch understood Hermione's mind set and that was why Hermione was going to kill her the next time she saw her.

Bellatrix Lestrange didn't think Crucio was enough, she knew Hermione would pull through it, heal slowly and then one day tell her children about her bravery. No, she punished Hermione, and cruelly. She also punished another, it was Draco Malfoy who had been told to rape her. How could he decline when his murderous aunt was so keenly listening at the door?

She didn't blame him.

She only blamed Bellatrix Lestrange.

Mrs Weasley was the only one in the house who understood the extent of the pain Hermione was going through and she sympathized with the poor girl. Hermione had never been a killer, and for her to kill an innocent child? That would be like someone telling her to kill Ron or Harry. She was unable to do it and faced a hard crossroads.

Kill her own blood or breath life into the baby as it was born.

It was quite obvious what she chose.

A baby's cry joined Hermione's dying scream. She moaned and let her head fall back onto the wet pillow.

'She's so cute.' Ginny exclaimed from at the foot of the bed now. She and Molly were cleaning the baby, Ginny had seen enough blood in her life to not mind now, with extreme care. The baby was whimpering.

'It's a girl!' Molly exclaimed proudly.

Hermione sighed and forced her head up. Molly placed the baby, which was now wrapped in a pink blanket with small little unicorns galloping around the surface of it, in Hermione's arm.

'She's gorgeous.' Hermione breathed with great effort. She moved the edge of the blanket of her face. She gave a little yawn.

'That is the cutest thing I've seen.' Ginny said peering over Hermione's shoulder with shining eyes. 'All that pain is worth seeing that I suppose? What will you name her?' Ginny smiled softly at the babies fluttering eyes.

'Considering her father it should be something that relates to him too.' Hermione said holding one of the babies tiny fists in her own.

'Who cares about her father?' Fred, or George, said appearing next to their mother.

'It's whats right.' Molly hissed at the boys.

'You had a couple of fancy ones.' Ginny replied softly, she glared at her twin brothers for a moment then looked back down at the baby. 'You had tons! Natasha, Natalie.' She listed, counting her fingers.

'No... It should be something Latin.' Hermione whispered. 'What do you think about... Elda Rose Granger-Malfoy?'

'Very regal.' Molly said with a smile. She had not approved of Draco being the father at first but soon accepted the fact that it was not Ronald's baby she was delivering.

'Yea... I heard Elda was Latin for something so it should fit. If its not Latin then he can go repopulate and name his own children.' Hermione said with a smile.

'Must the Malfoy be at the end?' The twins moaned.

The baby made a small gurgling noise and a little happy squeal as she chewed softly on one of Hermione's fingers. They made a collective aw.

'Okay, come on, she needs to feed Elda. Out, out!' Molly said waving her arms widely.

Hermione grabbed Ginny's arm to stop her from leaving. Molly smiled from the doorway and mouthed 'call me if you need me.'

'It hurts right?' Ginny asked with a slightly pained expression on her face.

'Noo... Not at all!' Hermione said sarcastically. 'I hope Ron will understand... though knowing his temper, I doubt he will.'

Ginny gave a shrug and turned away as Hermione began to feed Elda. 'Will you ever tell Malfoy? I mean, he is the father.'

'We'll see... when he matures enough to find out he got me pregnant then yes I suppose.' Hermione took Elda away from her chest. 'You can look now.'

Elda made a wide, silent yawn with her tiny mouth and her little fists shot up into the air, making wild motions for just a moment before her head lolled to the side and one of her fingers retreated to her mouth and the other around Hermione's finger.

'I am going to have many children just because I saw that.' Ginny said with an awed expression on her face.

Hermione smiled. 'She has his eyes...' She said softly.

It was true. Elda had exactly her fathers eyes already, the stormy blue that had haunted her dreams for far to long already. The tufts of her hair were a bright luscious blonde only a tad darker than his, though it had Hermione's curls. She had Hermione's petite nose and body but Draco's elf like face, she was truly gorgeous.

'I'll let you get some sleep.' Ginny whispered and closed the door softly.

Hermione stared at Elda until her mind finally wandered into a nightmare with Draco's sorry eyes pleading her for forgiveness and his demented aunt cackling from just next to him.

So what do you guys think? Sort of scared about how this plot will go... I have a few ideas and they are all sort of revolving around unnecessary character death xD Sorry if I confused some birth deals or something, but being a teenager I don't think I will be testing pregnancy out for a while xD Just realised I was supposed to be doing homework. Meh :)

PLEASE REVIEW! THEN I WILL UPDATE BOTH STORIES IN QUICK SUCCESSION :D
