Oneshot
Hermione walked into the master bedroom which she shared with her Husband Draco, who was currently away on business. She had put the children to bed and now wanted nothing more than to go to sleep but sleep never came easy when her husband was away. She was use to cuddling up to his every night; they first started sharing a bed back in their seventh year and had never slept alone since except when Draco went on business trips.
This current business trip was longer than any trip he had ever been on and Hermione was starting to feel it. She only slept a few hours every night, she was getting short tempered with the children and the children knew to push her buttons when their father was away. Hermione needed her husband but she had another four days without him.
Hermione stripped off her clothes and dressed in one of Draco's shirts. She sat down on their king sized bed and sighed. Draco had promised to floo call this evening but she was still waiting.
Half an hour later, the floo activated and her husband's handsome face popped up.
'Hello Darling.' He said as he smiled at Hermione. 'I see your missing me.'
Hermione sat up and placed her book to the side of her. She looked at Draco and smiled. 'You know I always miss you when you're away.'
'I miss you too and the children. How are they?' He asked.
'Scorpius has been fine however your little princess Ophelia has been a handful to say the least.' Hermione said as she crossed her legs. 'She knows that when you're away she can get away with things.'
Draco smiled at the comment his wife was making about their rather Slytherin three year old Ophelia. 'Tell her Daddy won't be happy when he comes home if she keeps misbehaving.'
'I tried that.' Hermione said as she looked at him. 'I even though of flooing your father to get him to talk to her.'
'Father wouldn't have done anything. He would have said to drop her to the Manor and spend the afternoon riding horses.' Draco said smiling.
'I know but I was desperate.' Hermione said as she yawned. 'I forgot how tiring it is to be pregnant.'
'How did your appointment go with the Healer?' Draco asked.
'Everything is fine although she reckons I'm further along than we thought. She often a scan there but I wanted to wait for you. I did hear the heartbeat though so everything's fine.' She said smiling.
'Mummy! Mummy! There's a ghost in my room mummy!' Ophelia said as she ran into her parent's room. 'Mummy!'
Hermione picked her daughter up and placed her in her lap. She kissed her head and rocked her softly. 'There's no ghosts in the house Fee, you know that.'
'Daddy no here.' She said as she looked at Hermione.
'I know sweetheart but look.' Hermione said pointing to the floo.
'Hello Princess.' Draco said smiling.
'Daddy!' Ophelia shouted as she looked at Draco. 'I misses you Daddy.'
'I miss you too Ophelia.' He replied to her.
'There's ghosts in my room. Come home and take them away?' she said as she cuddled into Hermione.
'I'm afraid I won't be home till the weekend but why don't you sleep with mummy tonight just to make sure no ghosts are around.' He said.
'Me sleep with you?' She asked Hermione.
'Yes.' Hermione said as she kissed her daughter's head.
'I have to go Hermione.' Draco said as he watched his girls. 'I'll call tomorrow morning.'
'Okay.' Hermione said as she cuddled Ophelia. 'I love you.'
'Love you to.' He replied.
'Loves you.' Ophelia said as she yawned.
'I love you too my angel, get some sleep both of you.' He said as he finished the call.
Authors note:
Another Oneshot. I am thinking of doing an Christmas four part story but not sure on the pairing yet. SS? Or DM?
