Chapter Seven

BIG Surprises

Hermione rolled over in bed; she had just woken up and had a big craving for peanut butter and one of those tacos from her favorite Mexican restaurant. There was just one problem. She didn't want to go down to the kitchens, with her huge stomach to waddle around, it would take her an hour to get down there. So she did the next best thing.

"Draco…" she said, while patting his bare shoulder.

"Mmm…" he moaned.

"Draco, wake up."

"Mmm…"

"Draco, the baby is coming."

"What!" he yelled, he then scrambled out of the bed and hurried over to the door, where a suitcase lay already packed. He grabbed it and ran out the door, before he ran back in the room, to find a hysterical laughing Hermione still in their bed.

"That was not funny!" he snapped.

"Y-yes it was…. you should have seen the look on your face. I wish I would have had a camera." She said, still slightly giggling.

Draco looked over at the clock and groaned, "It's bloody fucking two-o'clock in the morning. Are you mad, woman! Waking me up at this hour…." He then noticed the slightly scared look she had on her face. "I need a full six hours of beauty sleep, or I look horrid in the morning." He said, in a girly voice. His weight was shifted to one side; he had one hand on his hip and the other on his chest. He smiled when Hermione went back to laughing. He loved making her laugh.

"I'm sorry Draco, I was just hungry and I was hoping that you could go down to the kitchens for me."

"Why don't you just call for a house elf, they could get it quicker to you then I can," He said.

Hermione became angry, "I will do no such thing! Having a poor house elf make me my food, it's barbaric!" she snapped, and then her eyes welled up with tears. "You, you don't want to go down to the kitchens and make me some food, because you don't like me. I know you think of me still as a mudblood."

In an instant, Draco was sitting on the bed with her. He took her head in his hands and said, "Don't you dare call yourself that demeaning word! I do not think of you that way… at least not anymore. I told you yesterday that I loved you and I meant it. I love you Hermione Granger." He leaned in, as if he was going to kiss her, but she pulled away.

"Don't Draco, I can't be with you. I got my heart broken once; I will not have it happen again. After we graduate, we will go our separate ways and we will most likely never see each other again. Even if we were to stay together, who says that I wouldn't become your Wednesday or Friday girl? I just can't do it."

"Hermione, I am not the person you knew for six years, I am no longer that arrogant prick. I've changed."

"You seem like you've changed Draco, but how do I know that it isn't just an act? I'm sorry, I can't fall in love with you and get my heart broken."

"I'm going to go down and get you're food. When I come back I want to talk with you some more, so we can at least get to know each other better. What would you like me to get?"

"Talking sounds nice, how about some peanut butter, ice cream, and a few tacos with sour cream on top."

Draco smiled and left the room, as he was heading out of the common room he spotted Ron coming out of his and Pansy's room.

"Can't sleep?" asked Draco.

"Nah, Pansy wants me to get her some chocolate chip cookies and a bowel of mashed potatoes with melted cheese and bacon bits in them." He said, while walking around a corner with Draco.

"Pregnant women are so weird," said Draco.

"Tell me about it."

"So how is Pansy doing?"

"She is fine, I guess…. but every time I come in the room I find her crying."

Draco stopped in his tracks. "What did you do to her?" he asked in a very dangerous tone.

"Calm down, I didn't do anything. Every time I try to ask her she mutters something about the Parkinson manor and changes the subject."

Draco's eyes winded in shock and anger, "That bastard!" he yelled.

"What?" asked Ron worriedly, as they came to the portrait of the fruit and tickled the pear.

"Her new step father, Jason, is very abusive, but he is wealthy. That is all that matters to her mother. He treats Pansy like shit; I can't tell you the things he has done to her, for it isn't my place.

A house elf ran up to the pair, "What can Dribbles get for Masters?" it asked, slightly shaking in its pillowcase.

The boys told the elf what they wanted and returned to their conversation. "What do you mean step father? Once a witch and wizard get married they can never be separated." Said Ron, looking confused.

"Pansy has had at least ten step fathers. There is only one thing that can separate the two souls and make it so they can remarry, death, and death of one spouse makes it so the other one can move on. Surprisingly, all of Pansy step fathers have died after one year of marriage and of natural causes," explained Draco.

"Oh…" said Ron.

Soon their food arrived and the boys walked back to the common room in silence. When they got back, they went their separate ways.

Draco walked back into the room he shared with Hermione. She was sitting up in bed; staring off into space her right hand gently rubbing circles on her stomach. Draco laid the tray of food on the bed next to her and climbed under the blankets.

"Hi," she said.

"Hi."

"Thank you for getting the food," she said, as she took a taco and bit into it. "Mmm…yum."

Draco laughed at her and she turned towards him. "What?" she asked.

"You have sour cream on your lip."

She blushed a licked her lips, "Is it gone?"

"No, here, I'll get it for you," he said leaning over and wiping her upper lip with his thumb. He then put his thumb to his mouth and licked off the white dab.

"Thanks," she said, still blushing.

"It was no problem, no problem at all."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Tell me about the things that interest you and find fun." He said.

"Okay."

The two talked, until it was time to get ready for breakfast.

"Today class, we will be learning how a baby is conceived. A man needs to first…." Said Molly.

Hermione was not too interested in the topic of discussion, for she had learned all about teenage hormones and what sex was, when she ten, so she started to write in her notebook, she was working on a story for the baby. So far she had:

Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms, the Griffins Kingdom and the Snakes Kingdom. For centuries the two kingdoms had fought war against each other. Then one day the princess of the Griffin kingdom ran through the forest, which lay between the rivals. Her eyes were blurry with tears, for Prince Otter had cheated on her with royal servant Ginger. Not noticing where she was going she ran straight into…

"Ewww!" screamed the class.

Hermione looked up to see three-dimensional diagrams of what was going on in the body while during sex. She cringed and tried to return to her story.

Not noticing where she was going she ran straight into someone, knocking them both down. "My apologies miss, I was not looking where I was going," said a strong male voice, while he helped up the princess…

"Hermione, Hermione…" said Draco gently rubbed her back. Hermione ignored him and continued to write, not wanting to loose her train of thought.

"No sir, it was my fault, I should have also been looking where I was going."

"HERMIONE!" persisted Draco.

The Princess looked up to see none other than Prince Malcor, the prince of Snakes…

"Damn it Hermione, pay attention. We have to-"

"What! What do you want?!" She screamed.

"…Our appointment to see the nurse about the baby is in fifteen minutes. Class finished ten minutes ago.

"Oh, I'm sorry for snapping," she said, while closing the notebook.

"It's okay, what were you writing about?" he asked.

"It's nothing, it's actually something very silly, you'll see it when it's done," she said, standing up and walking out the door.

Draco shrugged his shoulders and followed her out. The two walked silently to the hospital wing. When they got inside, they noticed that there were many more nurses running around. In front of them sat a woman, at least they thought it was a woman, but they weren't sure, for she had a unibrow and a very masculine body shape. The desk had files scattered all across the oak surface. Hermione and Draco walked up to her.

"Name," she said in a smoker's voice.

"Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy," said Draco with a smile on his face.

The woman looked down a list and said, "Ms. Patty Bubbles is you're assigned nurse, she is stationed at bed ten, down that way," unibrow lady said, pointing down the left isle.

Hermione and Draco went down the isle of beds until they reached bed ten. There stood a woman who had dark red hair and baby blue eyes, which twinkled when she smiled.

"You must be the Malfoy's, my name is Patty Bubbles, please call me Patty. I will be your nurse through out the rest of your pregnancy and will also be delivering your baby." She said, while trying not to bounce off the wall with joy.

Ron and Pansy P.O.V

"Oh, this is so exciting, our first baby appointment!" squealed Pansy. Ron was a pale white and gulped loudly, "Oh yeah, I can't wait…" he said.

Pansy and Ron walked into the hospital wing and up to the unibrow woman. "Name," she said again in the gruff voice.

"Ron Weasley and Pansy Parkinson," said Pansy.

Unibrow woman used her pudgy finger and went down the list. "Your nurse is Mrs. Raven Logan and she is stationed at bed eleven.

Ron a Pansy walked down the isle until they found the bed that was straight across from Draco and Hermione's.

The woman that stood next to the bed had black hair tied in a loose ponytail, violet grey eyes and a motherly air around her.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Weasley," Pansy blushed and smiled, while Ron turned even whiter.

"My name is Raven Logan and I will be your nurse for the rest of your pregnancy and I will be the one to help deliver your child. Please if you could lie down on the bed, Mrs. Weasley, we will start the test to see how your baby is doing and if you would like, we can also tell you the sex."

Normal P.O.V.

Both Hermione and Pansy lay down on the beds, both of there stomach sticking out.

"Now lay very still, as I say the spell over you to produce the hologram," said the nurses simultaneously.

Both women said the spell and the Holograms appeared.

Draco Hermione

"Oh my God," whispered Hermione, placing her hand over her mouth, as she stared up at her unborn chilled, tears slowly came to her eyes.

"Wow…" said Draco in awe.

The two watched the child as it kicked its foot and Hermione giggled.

With her wand, Patty, pointed at all the different body parts.

"Here, you will see the head, and there is a foot. Would you like to know the sex?" she asked.

Hermione nodded and the nurse smiled. "And here you will see it's…"

"OH YEAH! WE'RE HAVING A BOY! EVERYONE WE'RE HAVING A BOY!" Draco yelled, just a tad bit over excited, as he ran up and down the isle.

"Draco, Honey…love, you need to calm down." said Hermione, laughing.

Draco ran back to her and smiled, before kissing her on the forehead.

Ron Pansy

After Draco's little parade the nurse turned back to the couple. "Would you like to know the sex of the baby?" she asked.

"No, we decided we want it to be a surprise," said Ron, now less nervous.

Normal

"Oh my," said the nurses in union.

"What!?" yelled both the couples, worriedly.

The nurses stared at their patients, before smiling and saying, "You're having TWINS!"

Pansy Ron

Pansy squealed again, "Isn't this great Ron, Ron?" Pansy looked over at Ron and didn't see him, then she looked down at the floor and there he was sprawled on the floor out cold.

"Ron!" she yelled.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing happens all the time with new fathers that hear they are having twins. He will be back up in a couple minutes," said Raven.

Hermione Draco

"Twins…" Hermione said slowly. She looked up at Draco, he to looked shocked, but then he looked down at her and smiled lovingly.

A happy smile appeared on her face and she took his hand, glad that he accepted the news. Draco looked down at the joined hands and smiled.

Ron and Pansy decided to take a walk around the lake, after dinner. They both walked in silence, while watching the sunset; the sky was full of pinks, gold's, and orange colors.

"Ron, what do you think about us having twins?" asked Pansy, resting her arms on her stomach, since she knew she couldn't link arms with Ron.

"I don't know, it's a little scary, but I am also excited about the whole thing," he said.

"Really?" she asked happily.

"Yeah, Pansy can I ask you something? You don't have answer it if you don't want to."

"Sure, what is it?"

"You know when I come in the room sometimes and I find you crying and you say something about your home-"

"It's not my home, Hogwarts is my home. The Manor is the cold place I go to when I don't have a choice." She said coldly.

"Pansy, is your step father abusive?"

"Yes," she said.

"I want you to know that when we have to go to the manor, that I will not let him harm you in any way."

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes, a man who hits a woman is just a plain coward."

Tears came to Pansy's eyes. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck giving him a hug and crying into his chest. Ron put his head on top of hers and rubbed small circles in her back.

"Thank you," she whispered into his chest.

"Your welcome."

"We should make the nursery blue, since were having to boys!" snapped Draco, with his arms crossed.

"I say we should make it yellow or purple, since WE don't know if the other baby is a boy, it could be a girl!" Hermione snapped back.

"It's a boy!"

"No. It's a girl!"

"Boy!"

"Girl!"

"Boy!"

"Girl!"

"Why don't you make the walls yellow and the carpet blue," suggested the old woman, appearing beside them.

"Because, we are having two boys and they need a manly room of blue," said Draco now looking at the old woman.

"I think she's right it needs to be yellow AND blue, because! We are having a boy and a girl!"

"Maybe you two should stop bloody bickering about what colors to use, in a dumb nursery!" yelled the old man, appearing next to the woman.

"A nursery is not dumb." said the old woman turning to her husband.

"Yes it is!"

"No it's not!"

"Yes it is!"

No it's not!"

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Hermione, does their fighting seem familiar?" asked Draco, now stand next to Hermione and watching the fighting couple.

"Yeah, they fight sort of like us…" Hermione's eyes widened.

"Oh my God! Draco, they're us from the future."

"No they can't be I would never dress in a suit like that."

"I only dress like this because, this woman made me! Saying, 'they won't recognize us if we dress poorly'," said the old man, imitating his wife.

"So you are us from the future! Not guardian angels," said Hermione shocked.

"Yes well, one of our children, have decided that they wanted to go back in time, they ripped a hole in the time line and since our relationship is not set in stone yet, we had to make sure that we/you stayed together."

"One of our children, are in your time with us?" asked Draco.

"We have real children together? We're together in the future!" said Hermione, now sitting down on a chair she summoned.

"It's not that hard to believe Hermione," said the old Draco.

"How many kids do we have?" asked young Draco.

"We can't tell you, it might affect the time line more," said old Hermione.

"Which one is our kid?" asked Hermione.

"We can't tell you that either, but you might figure it out on your own." said old Draco.

"We have to go now, we have a meeting to attend." said old Hermione disappearing along with old Draco.

"That has got to be one of the weirdest things to happen to me in all my life," said Hermione.

"Yeah, me too, though that does mean that we get together," said Draco.

"No it doesn't, they said it wasn't set in stone yet, that means there is a possibility that something goes wrong."

"Hermione, open your eyes. I have told you again and again that I love you and all you do is push me away."

"Don't you get it! I am still in love with Harry; no matter what he did to me, I still have feelings for him. He use to tell me over and over again that he loved me. Then he goes and cheats on me with Ginny."

"I am not Potter Hermione, I have morals. I have never cheated on a girl my entire life." He said.

"What about all those rumors, about you having a girl for everyday of the week?" she asked.

"Those rumors were made up by Pansy, to pick on me and make me seem like a sex god. If you don't believe me ask her, she will tell you."

"Then prove to me Draco, prove to me that you have changed and I will give in and become your girl friend for real."

"Fine."

Draco was walking back for the kitchens with Hermione's midnight snack, when he heard a noise from behind him. He turned around to see nothing but darkness.

He kept walking, but decided to walk a little faster. The sound started again behind him, Draco recognized the sound this time, and it sounded just like his father's cane on the granite floor.

Draco turned around again, this time dropping the plate of food.

"Father…"

"Hello Draco, Miss me?"
