Chapter three

Surprises

Oh god not again! Thought Draco sleepily as he heard Hermione retching in the bathroom three days later. All she ever seems to do is throw up its disgusting.

Meanwhile in the bathroom Hermione was bent over the toilet for the seventh time that morning. She didn't know if it was because of the child inside her or because of how she kept waking up for the last few days.

Flashback…

Hermione woke up the morning after their agreement with something heavy on her back she turned round and saw that it was Malfoy's arm that was resting on her back pulling her into his side where all she could smell was him.

"ARGGGGH!" She screamed.

"Wuz goin on?" Malfoy had muttered.

"You need to keep your hands to yourself Malfoy!" Hermione had said before she ran into the bathroom to throw up. It had been like this every morning since.

Hermione came out of the bathroom pale and shaking from throwing up the little food she had consumed since last night damming Malfoy and this project to the deepest part of hell, no other girl had been suffering as she had been.

"Granger?"

"Yes, Malfoy?" Hermione said trying to be civil.

"It's Monday."

"So?" He is really testing my patience this morning. She thought as she got her uniform out for the day.

"We have to go to Pomfrey in about ten minutes."

"Ok thanks, Malfoy."

Was he just nice? Actually reminding me instead of making me look stupid? Wow.

Draco walked out of the room to let Hermione get dressed and was so immersed in his thoughts he didn't notice Hermione's thanks. Ever since that first night he couldn't get the image of the little girl out of his head. Draco had been taught the most advanced mind skills by his father before he was sent to Azkaban, so Draco knew this wasn't just a hallucination it was a memory and it intrigued him. He sat on the sofa in front of the fire to wait for Hermione.

"Malfoy?"

"Hmm."

"I'm going now."

"Right, am coming now."

He got up and Hermione was confused, she assumed she would be going to the appointment alone but decided not to argue. The walk to the hospital wing was awkward to say the least, both Hermione and Draco walked stiffly and silently whist all of the other students looked on in amazement at how the two enemies were not murdering each other.

"Miss Granger, if you will just lie on the bed on the far left I will be over in a moment." Madam Pomfrey said as Hermione and Draco entered the hospital wing.

As Hermione headed towards the bed Madam Pomfrey had indicated she felt that Draco was not following so she turned round.

"Malfoy?" Hermione said in a soft voice. "You can come over you know it is your baby too."

Draco was shocked the way Hermione had spoken was unknown to him; he had only ever been spoken to in hard tones. He followed her to the bed and sat down silently next to the bed on the chair that had been placed for the 'fathers'.

"Ok Miss Granger if you will just lift up your top to under your bra we will see your baby on that screen there." She pointed to a screen that has appeared at the bottom of the bed.

Madam Pomfrey placed the tip of her wand next to Hermione's belly button and started to mutter some incantation.

"What are you doing?" asked Hermione, the war had changed Hermione greatly she no longer trusted blindly everybody had to earn her trust now.

"I am just performing a spell to see inside your womb Miss Granger it will cause no harm to you or your baby there is no need to worry."

Hermione tried to relax and let Madam Pomfrey work. She glanced at Malfoy who was staring at her belly like it was the first belly he had ever seen.

"Malfoy?"

"Yeah." He said without removing his eyes from her stomach.

"Why are you staring at my stomach?"

"There is a baby in there Granger, MY baby." He said in awe.

Hermione realized that although she may be used to the idea of being pregnant Malfoy had not. He had heard her being sick sure but he hadn't seen her belly getting a little rounder of felt the flutter in her stomach, he was just realizing he was going to become a 'Father.' She looked at him and actually saw he was excited and it gave her hope that she wouldn't be alone during this project as she had feared.

"Oh my!" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed breaking the spell between Hermione and Draco.

"What?" Hermione said fearfully.

"What's wrong with the baby?" Draco and Hermione said at the same time.

"There are two heartbeats." Madam Pomfrey said faintly.

"Yeah Grangers and the Baby's." Draco said as if the medi-witch had gone batty.

"No Mr. Malfoy there are two babies. You are going to have twins."

Draco hit the floor within seconds.

Me again! Hope you all enjoy! A reveiw would be appreciated!
