Chapter 1 Hermione's Dilemma
Hermione sat at the bar in the Leaky Cauldron contemplating how her life has turned out since graduating Hogwarts only a few years back. I am the head of the department of Magical Co-Operation, I have a wonderful boyfriend who- Oh no! Draco's going to be so angry with me! She though as she reached for the fire whiskey she ordered.
You better not drink that! It's unhealthy for you and the baby
OH Sut up! Maybe I don't WANT it!
Yes you do!
Yes, but it was all a mistake! We are only twenty and not even married! Then without realizing she was speaking out loud she said "What am I supposed to do?"
"Sorry miss, did you say something? Tom the bartender questioned.
"No Ton, sorry I thought I said that to myself."
Ha-ha!
Shut up! What am I going to do? Draco won't want it! Hi is doing so well with his Corporation, this baby will just mess everything up!
How do you know he won't want it? You two have been through a lot with your relationship since 7th year, and you two have still managed to stay together.
Precisely! This just may be the on thing that we won't be able to get through!
So you just plan on sitting here and drink and hope the it kills the baby?
NO! I plan on getting an abortion!
You can't be serious! Just tell Draco he will understand.
Ugh! Why do I bother even trying to argue with you! You always win! So fine I will tell Draco… some how.
Hermione shoved the drink away, paid and apparated back to her and Draco's apartment.
"Draco I am home!" No reply came. Good he's not home yet, this gives me sometime to think. Hermione thought as she headed to the bathroom to take a nice long relaxing bubble bath. She turned the faucet on and poured in her favorite Lavender and Vanilla scented bubbles into the bath. When the tub was full she submerged into the water and let out a sigh of relief.
Hermione sat in the tub for over an hour before she heard Draco's voice calling her. "I'm in the tub, be out in a sec!" she replied.
"Great a whole hour in the blasted tub and still no idea!" she said to herself. Fifteen minutes later she stepped out of the bathroom in a pair of short shorts and a tank top on.
"Finally! I have been waiting forever!" Draco cried before stepping over to her, pulling her into a passionate kiss. When they broke away she said "It was only fifteen minutes Draco sheesh!"
"That's fifteen minutes longer that I had to wait to see your beautiful face" he smiled at he as she giggled.
"So Draco, how did work go for you today?" Hermione asked while walking to the kitchen to find something to fix her and Draco for dinner.
"Fine, busy as usual. We had someone come in today buying two dozen of out latest model of broom."
"That's wonderful babe!"
"How about you? How was your day?"
"Oh same old, same old. They want to have another Tri-Wizard Tournament but I'm not too sure about it not after what happened the last time he had one."
"Hermione, Voldemort has been gone how long now? I'm sure its safe to hold another one."
"You are right, but what about… oh never mind" Hermione said as she reached into the freezer to take out some chicken and baby carrots, and that's when it hit her, she cal tell Draco through the types of food they would have for dinner!
So instead of taking out chicken she quickly pulled out baby back ribs, carrots and peas.
"Hermione, why don't we go out for dinner instead of cooking tonight?"
"But I already took out what we were going to have!"
"Come on 'Mione lets go out. For me please" Draco pouted.
"How can I resist that look? Okay fine we can go out but where are we going? Do I need to dress up or casual?"
"Well I would want you to go in your birthday suit" Draco began but with the murderous glares coming form Hermione he changed his mind. " On second thought wear something casual., I am jut going to ware black slacks and a green or blue button up shirt."
"Okay. Give me a minute to go get changed." She said she walked to her bedroom
Half an hour later, Hermione walked out wearing a red halter top, after some debate on whether or not it showed her growing belly, and a white flowy skirt that touched just above her knees. Her hair was down and in long soft curls and she had the slightest hint of makeup on.
"You look gorgeous Hermione. There is something different about you, though I can't put a finger on it."
"Nothing's changed!" she said a little too quickly, but Draco didn't catch it.
"So where are we going?" Hermione asked.
"Now that, my dear, would be a surprise, so come on lets get going!" he said while taking her hand in his and leading her out their apartment door.
He lead her around London until they reached a nice little restaurant name Le Café Eiffel.
"Oh Draco it is so cute!" she said as she took in the detail of the place. The restaurant was made out of stone and had vines cascading up the walls with flowers intertwining amongst them.
Draco and Hermione walked into Le Café Eiffel where the waiter lead them to a booth placed in a somewhat secluded area.
"Any wine for you two tonight?" the waiter asked.
"None for me thanks, how about you Draco?"
"I guess none then sir, but could we get some l'eau au minérale s'il vous plait?"
"Oui"
"Merci"
"I didn't know you could speak French"
"Did you forget who my father was? He made me learn French. He said it would be beneficial for a Malfoy to know more than one language."
"Well it does come in handy. SO what would you recommend?"
"Hmm escargot is really good as well as un steak frite"
"Then let's get that".
"Okay. Miser, je prendre duo les escargot et un steak frite. S'il vous plait."
The waiter took their order and while they were waiting they talked about nothing in particular until their food came. They ate in silence just enjoying being in each others presence. When the waiter came back to ask if they would like dessert Draco asked for the cheese platter.
"Hermione the reason why I brought you here tonight is because I have something important to ask you."
"Draco I have something important to tell you." They said at the same time.
"You go first" Hermione said.
"No your" Draco insisted.
"No I insist you go first."
"Just go Mione really"
"Okay well here it goes… Draco, I-I- I'm" Hermione hesitated.. "I'm pregnant"
People turned around and stared as they heard a "thump" where Draco was sitting but now lying on the floor.
"Draco!!" Ugh I knew this would be bad! Hermione thought as she reached for her water, splashing it on Draco's face.
"What happened? I had the craziest dream though; I thought you said you were pregnant"
"That's because I am Draco, you are going to be a father!"
"A, a, a, father? Me? How the hell did this happen?"
"Ugh, I knew you wouldn't want it! That's why I wanted to just get rid of it! But nooo… I thought you might have wanted it! Guess I was wrong!!" Hermione cried.
"Who said I didn't want it? "Mione I love you and love that my child is from you! I can't believe you wanted to get an abortion! What the heel were you thinking?"
"I wasn't thinking I was so afraid you would reject me and the baby! But… your not mad that were having one though right?"
"Mad? You crazy? I am ecstatic! It's a little early but its okay. This just makes what I was planning to do a lot easier" He then got down on one knee and said "Hermione Jane Granger, you have made me the happiest man on earth, would you make me even more happy by taking me as your husband?" He opened up the box to show a ring with a ruby and a diamond on each side of it.
"Oh Draco! Of Course I will marry you!" He then placed the ring on her finger bringing her closer to him before drawing her in a passionate kiss. The round in the restaurant cheered in happiness for the couple. When they broke apart Hermione asked "How whose parents to tell first; mine or your mother?"
Draco paled " Heh, I didn't think about that. How about we don't say anything."
"Draco, we HAVE to tell them! Then we have to tell Harry, Ron, ---"
"Tell us what Hermione?"
Hermione turned around and there stood Harry, Ron, Ginny and the twins."
"Ummm…" Hermione stuttered.
