A/N: Based on the song "with arms wide open" by creed and the prompts strokes and beads for the "game of life" challenge
With arms wide open, I find myself happy, alive. I am in the arms of my lover. There is people around, yet all I see is her. With arms wide open, I can find myself free to be me. Tears of joy stream down my face as she holds me close, letting me stroke her stomach gently. I feel a light kick. My gods, this is real. How is it that my lover is able to handle this feeling inside? A baby! We've been talking about this for ages, yet until now, it didn't seem like reality. But when she told me, "Draco, I'm pregnant." I wasn't sure weather to nod or faint. The pregnancy potion worked. And now Hermione carries my child. My heir. I was told that I might not be able to have children. Apparently we are lucky. Oh child, I will show you the world. I will show you everything. You will not want for anything. Think of the life a Malfoy will give. Of what you can be if you want. If I could have one thing, I just hope he's not like me. I hope he doesn't push everyone away. That he can see the beauty in this world. That he can open his arms wide and let people in. With a stroke of luck, he can be everything I wasn't. Do the things I didn't. I'll make sure he can see that he's not alone. He won't be friendless and alone like I was, when I realized the only person offering to help was a nosy as hell mudblood. "You can't do everything alone Malfoy." She said to me, looking at me with pity. I didn't want to believe her, but she was right. I can't. And now I won't. I have Granger and my little child. I hold her close and kiss her neck tenderly, near the bead necklace I gave her for our anniversary. She never takes it off. And as I hold her close and kiss her tenderly, I realize that for her and my child, my arms will always be open.
