Broken

"You broke it!" Draco fell to his knees, picking up the glass fragments.

"It wasn't my fault." Ginny replied haughtily, falling back onto the couch she had been occupying.

"You threw it at the wall!" He stood up sharply, the pieces of glass in his hand.

Ginny simply glared at him.

"I was aiming for your head." She spat.

"Are you insane?" Damn the Malfoy name, Draco didn't care how childish he sounded. He carefully placed the fragments on the table beside him.

"If you hadn't been such a git about it all, I wouldn't have had to throw it! So it is, in fact, YOUR fault!" She yelled back at him.

Draco stared back at her confused. Ginny must've gone insane. Yes. That must be it.

"What did I do?" He pleaded, losing his patience.

"I'm pregnant, Draco! I look like an inflated hippogryff and you choose THAT image to engrave into a glass plaque to immortalize while you look as handsome as ever? What is wrong with you?" Ginny sat down, hugging her arms to herself. She was going to cry, and there was nothing she could do. She was begining to despise pregnancy, and it was all Draco's fault.

Draco looked down at the broken glass pieces and smiled to himself. A large fragmented piece showed a beaming Ginny with his hand on her heavy 8 month load. To him, this was the most beautiful image he had ever had the pleasure to see. His beautiful wife, healthy and pregnant. One more month before she would bring their child into the world. He moved to kneel in front of her, taking both her hands into his.

"My dear, silly, wife. All I see is a beautiful woman carrying our child. It is the most amazing image I could ever witness." Draco then moved quickly to kiss her, covering her mouth before she could protest. He was no longer broken because of her love, and for that, she could throw anything she wanted at his head any day.

Tomorrow, he'd have another glass plaque engraved with the picture of the two of them; her pregnant and smiling with his arms around her and his hands protective on her stomach.
