Thank you for all the reviews and favorites! I'm glad you're enjoying the story :)

"So how has Draco been with all of this?" Harry asked Hermione at lunch a couple of weeks after the anniversary party

"Wonderful. He's been very understanding of the mood swings and the nausea." She said with a laugh "He is a little overprotective though. He won't let me carry anything, and I literally sit all the time at home. I'm hoping when we go to the healer tomorrow she will tell him I'm not disabled. I can still do some stuff"

"I remember that phase" Ginny said with a sideways glance at Harry "If you want me to talk to Draco just let me know"

"I will. Although if he doesn't stop I might just hex him" Hermione laughed "Thanks for inviting me for lunch guys Draco was so mad he had a meeting. He's convinced that the more time I spend with Lily will make her say my name before his"

"He always has been competitive" Harry said rolling his eyes "She just got Mama and Dada down this week"

"I can't even imagine what he'll be like with our baby. I can't wait to find out what we're having. I don't really care either way, but I keep imagining a little girl with blonde curls"

"I bet you'll have a boy" Harry said smirking "And he'll look just like Draco, but act just like you"

"I guess we'll see soon"


"That was the most amazing thing ever!"

Draco and Hermione had just finished up with the healer appointment. Thankfully she told Draco that as long as Hermione felt okay there really wasn't anything she couldn't do. But she was supposed to make sure she got enough rest and took her vitamin potions daily. At the end of the appointment she let them hear the baby's heartbeat.

"Just wait until we can actually see him or her." Hermione laughed

"It's totally a boy, Mione"

"Okay Dray" Hermione rolled her eyes


3 weeks later Draco walked into the bedroom after his shower to find his wife in tears

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"I'm fat" she said sobbing into his chest "None of my clothes fit right, and even when I transfigure them they just don't look right. I'm only 11 weeks pregnant. I shouldn't even be showing yet"

"Hey" He said lifting her chin so she would look at him "You aren't fat. You are beautiful, this just means you can go shopping! And your healer said every woman is different. It's going to be okay." He pulled her tight and she started to calm down

"I'm being stupid" she laughed "Thank you for being so wonderful"

"No problem. I don't have anything pressing today. Do you want to go do some shopping? Or you could call Ginny. She has a little more experience shopping for maternity clothing than I do. Harry and I could watch the kids"

"I'll call her" Hermione smiled at him

2 hours later Ginny and Hermione were walking out of Madam Malkins with multiple bags. Ginny was a huge help and made Hermione feel much better. "Let's take advantage of the boys having the kids and go get lunch"

"Sounds great! I'm starving" Hermione laughed

They decided on the Leaky cauldron for lunch and were shocked to see Luna and Blaise there

"Blaise, when did you get back in town?" Hermione said giving him a hug

"Yesterday. I was planning to come by your house this evening. I sent Draco an owl a little bit ago."

"How long will you be in town?"

"Well, I have a couple of loose ends to tie up in Italy in 2 weeks, but then I'm back for good. I just have to find a flat. That's why I want to come by and talk to you and Draco tonight. I want to talk to him about either renting your old flat or buying it from you guys. Luna and I decided to move in together"

"I'm so happy for you guys" She said hugging them both.

The four of them had lunch together and caught up on the latest gossip. They parted ways with promises of getting together soon to go out. Blaise decided to floo back with Hermione and Ginny then instead of waiting. After talking it all out Draco decided to sell the flat they lived in together to Blaise and Luna and keep Hermione's old flat to rent out. They were both excited to have him back in the country permanently.

"So you and Luna huh" Hermione smirked "Who would have guessed?"

"I wondered how long I'd have to wait for this" Blaise laughed. "Honestly I have to thank you for that. If it hadn't been for your bachelorette party in Vegas we never would have gotten together. We talked a lot after the wedding, and she came out and stayed at the Villa for a couple of weeks. I can't explain it Hermione. I've never cared about anyone the way I do her. She's crazy, but I like it."

"Blaise, I'm so happy for you guys" Hermione started crying

"Why are you crying?" Blaise looked terrified

"Hormones" Hermione laughed and Draco pulled her into a hug

"Happens all the time" Draco said laughing

"Well, I'm going to get back to the hotel. You guys have a great night, and I'll drop in before I go back to Italy to get everything taken care of with the property purchase. That way Luna can get started decorating while I get everything done there."

"Sounds good mate" Draco said

Draco walked Blaise to the floo. When he returned he pulled Hermione close. "You okay sweetheart?"

"Yeah" She said snuggling in to his chest "I get emotional over everything these days. I expected it from all the books I've read about pregnancy, but I didn't realize it would be this bad."

"I bet I know something that would make you feel better." He said winking at her

"Draco, I don't know" She said looking away from him "I just don't feel very sexy these days. I'm tired and achy, and I'm fat"

"Hermione Malfoy! You are not fat! You are carrying my son or daughter. I think you are the most amazingly sexy creature in the universe. You look more and more beautiful every day, and I am going to prove how beautiful I think you are!"

He scooped her up in his arms and ignored her protests as he carried her up the stairs and into their room. He stood her on her feet and made her look in their full length mirror. He stood behind her and whispered in her ear "You have this glow about you, even your hair is shinier than usual. Your breasts are getting bigger which I love" he said winking. Slowly he brought his hands up to caress her tiny baby bump as he continued to speak "And here inside of you grows our exceedingly brilliant child. Hermione, there are so many things I have wanted in my life, but this baby that I helped create is the most important." He turned her around to face him "Seeing your body grow with our little miracle is amazing. I can't wait to hold him or her. I love you both so much!"

Hermione smiled through her tears "Who knew Draco Malfoy was such a sap"

"Only for my family" He said with a smirk "Feeling better?"

"A little" She smiled then reached up to undo the buttons on his shirt "But I think you could make me feel even better"

"I know I can" He laughed then pulled her in for a searing kiss.

In a matter of minutes they were both undressed. Draco placed her lovingly on the bed and slowly began kissing every inch of her body. While it was very pleasurable Hermione had other ideas. She rolled them both over so she was straddling his waist and impaled herself on his hard length, throwing her head back with a moan. He sat up a bit and took one of her nipples into his mouth as she began slowly rocking against him. Draco was lost in the amazing sight of his beautiful wife. He grabbed her hips to speed up their rhythm, he knew he wasn't going to last. He slid his hand between them and caressed her bundle of nerves until he could feel her spasm around him. With a final thrust into her he came screaming her name.

The next morning she woke up and heard Draco whispering

"I don't care if you're a boy or a girl, I promise to love you no matter what. I'll play with you every day, and buy you anything you want. I'll be a much better father to you than my father was to me. I might not always get it right, but I will try so hard. And your mom, well, she's going to be the best mom in the world. We love you so much"

"Draco, I love you" Hermione said "You're going to be a wonderful father"

"Thanks hun" He said kissing her "I hope you're right."
