A Change in Plans

by kaszalot

(Draco MalfoyxOC) Draco and Allison have no clue how to look after a baby on their own let alone raise one. But when their best friends die and leave their daughter to them, it seems that Allison and Draco have no other choice. Will they be able to shape up and become proper parents? Or will their personal differences get in the way of their parenting?

1. Prologue

"STELLA," SAYS MY best friend, Daphne, as she looks at her baby girl for the first time. I smile, Stella is my middle name. Allison Stella Prewett. I am standing beside Daphne's hospital bed in St. Mungo's next to her husband, Blaise, and his best friend, Draco.

Draco and I have never really got on, but to support our friends we decide to try and ignore our differences on special occasions.

Today is definitely one of those occasions, as Daphne went into labor while we were in the middle of a meeting at work. Despite her approved maternity leave, Daphne refused to stay home from this meeting in particular because it was the one that was recognizing me as the new CEO of McLaggen Industries.

McLaggen Industries is all about music, fashion and art forms, everything I believe should be more prevalent in Magical Culture. The owner, Cormac McLaggen, went to school a year above me, but all I knew about him was that he was after a lot of different girls over the course of his Hogwarts years.

When Daphne went into labor, I immediately had to phone Blaise, who agreed to apparate to the hospital after he went and got Draco. I groaned but took Daphne to the hospital by floo network, it was the fastest and safest way since she was pregnant.

Her labor lasted for about four hours before she got to the point where she could give birth, so it was about 3:00 pm. She and Blaise didn't want to know the sex of the baby until it was born, so when the baby was born we were all pleasantly surprised to find that it was a girl.

"Stella Astoria," Daphne says finally. I reach out to squeeze her hand but it seems Blaise beats me to it. Astoria was Daphne's younger sister who died in the Battle of Hogwarts.

"That's lovely, Daph," I say, smiling at her.

"Now that the baby is born and healthy, well, we'd like to ask the two of you something," Blaise says. Draco and I turn to look at each other in curiosity. It is evident that neither of us know what they are going to ask. "Would you be the Godparents?

When I'm away and you can't sleep

Just know that it's the same for me
