Yeah this chapter is really long so I can hopefully help makes since of it all for you guys. Enjoy :)
Draco continued to hum a muggle lullaby that he had herd once and grew quiet fond of, and her looked up to notice that Hermione had fell asleep she was snoring softly. He giggled and laid his head back on her stomach to listen, he could hear her heart beat but there was another one that was beating rather fast, he checked his own and found that it didn't belong to him, must be their baby's. He is surprised that he is so calm about this and that it doesn't freak him out to call this little creature growing in this wonderful woman's body his, well rather theirs. They were going to be parents, a mother and father, how in the hell is he going to explain this to his mother? His father he could care less for he was in Azkaban and could stay there for all he cared. He father was an asshole, he hoped like hell he would never turn out like his father, he was going to make sure he didn't turn out to be like his father, he was gonna love this child and give him or her whatever they needed or wanted and not control their lives he was going to make sure that this child knew he love it. Hermione inhaled and went to roll on her side but he pressed his hand down gently on her hip, she turned her head and groaned and went back to sleep and snoring lightly again. He looked up at Hermione with his ear pressed to her stomach still and then he got scared, what if Hermione blames him? What if she doesn't want to be with him and have his child? What if she wants to get rid of it? Or worse have it and keep it away from him? No she wouldn't do any of those things, Hermione would never do any of that. His thoughts got interrupted when someone knocked on the door. He got up quickly not wanting to wake Hermione, he walked to the door and opened it and before he even looked to see who it was he stepped outside with the person closing the door behind him. He looked up and seen the Head Mistress.
"Professor McGanigole, what are you doing here?" he said almost a whisper
"I'm here to speak with you and Ms. Granger." She looked passed him at the door
"She is sleeping Professor, could I ask you that we do this another time?"
"I'm afraid not Mr. Malfoy" she looked at him and he could tell that she didn't want to disturb her either but looks like she had to.
"Alright, but could you meet us down in the sitting room? I don't want to scare her as soon as she wakes." She nodded her head and walked down the stairs to sit in front of the fireplace that had a small fire going in it. He walked through the door and she was already awake but not fully understanding what was going on.
"Where did you go?"
"You need to come with me Hermione." She looked at him in shock and was skeptical but stood up and walked over to him and took his hand.
"What's wrong Draco?" he squeezed her hand and looked up at her and pulled her into a small kiss
"I don't know" she stared after him as he pulled her by the arm to the sitting room with the professor sat. Hermione looked at the Professor and then at Draco.
"What are you doing here Professor?" Hermione was watching her as she patted the empty space next to her on the couch. Hermione looked at Draco and let go of his hand and sat next to the professor as Draco sat in the chair across from them and watched as the professor drew a deep breathe.
"Hermione, we know you cannot go home because you erased your parent's memory of you and I know you have no family anywhere else but I don't know how you are going to be able to continue going to Hogwarts. Now don't you start to protest it is far too dangerous for you to be doing potions and anything else while carrying that child. I know how much school means to you but I don't know how many of the teachers will agree to having a pregnant witch in their class." Hermione began to cry and the professor took her hand into hers and Draco felt terrible like pure shit. Then he thought of something.
"Professor could you try to ask the others if it would bother them to have Hermione in their class? And if it did couldn't she just stay and I could bring her work from her classes so that way she doesn't miss out on her last year here? Please?" they both looked over at Draco in surprise and then Professor McGanigole thought for a second and she finally spoke breaking the silence.
"Well we have a meeting this afternoon I could talk to al of them then and if it does bother them to have her in their class then I could bring up your idea and see if they would go for it but if not then Hermione dear we will have to find a place for you to go." Hermione looked down and had a few tears fall down and the she lifted her head and wiped her face.
"I could go stay with the Wesley's I'm sure that Molly wouldn't mind."
"No." Hermione looked at him when he gave his response
"What do you mean 'No'? Would you rather I stay on the streets Draco?"
"No that's not what I meant. I meant you could stay at my mansion with my mother."
"But your mother doesn't like me or any body for that matter, why would I stay with her?"
"Well at least while your staying at with my mother I would be able to see you, if you stayed with the Wesley's I would never get to see you. Ron and Harry would barricade you in that house when the holidays came around so that why I could never see you. I refuse to have that happen." She looked at him and smiled and professor excused herself and said she would be back later.
"Draco do you really think that they can keep me from you? I mean really? If I have to go through nine months of feeling like hell then I'm going to make sure that I get my happy moments." She stood up and walked over to him and sat on his lap as he wrapped his arms around her she kissed him. "Draco I promise no matter whether I'm with Molly and her family or with your mother I would still see you. Promise" She kissed him again and snuggled close to him as he let out a deep breath.
"So how far along do you think you are Hermione?" she got deep in thought then and he could feel her fingers twitch every once in awhile while she counted.
"Possible three weeks nearly four" he thought back and started laughing and she looked at him with a serious look on her face.
"Hermione, dear think back three weeks." She looked very intently in his eye's as she thought
"I don't get it what are you laughing about?" he cocked an eyebrow.
"Wesley caught us in the act of making our baby." He chuckled as her jaw hung open ready to protest but she couldn't all she could do was punch his shoulder, well what little shoulder she could get due to the way they were sitting, but she turned read at the memory and giggled and then laid her head at his neck and kissed it. She sighed and sat up looking t him again.
"I'm going to have to tell them you know, especially if I'm going to be staying at Ron's house. You better hide in here when I do."
"Nope I'm going to be with you when you tell them, I'm not going to let you face anything alone, not anymore. I have to worry about the both of you." He placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed it. "I'm not going to let you face them with out me there, there is no telling what they will try to do."
"Oh Draco they are not going to do anything nuts" he looked at her and raised his eyebrows "Okay maybe Harry wont do anything nuts."
"And that is exactly why I'm going because there is no telling what that crazy Wesley will do. Hermione I care about both of your safeties and I love you both to much to let"
"WHAT?" she shrieked out
"What? What happened?" he freaked out thinking something had happened to her or the baby "Do you hurt? Do I need to take you to Madam Pomfry?"
"No, no, Draco it's what you said, you didn't hear what you just said?"
"Yes I heard every word that I just said. Why?" He was confused to the limit what was she freaking out about he wonder.
"What was the last thing you said."
"I said that I care about the safety of the both of you and that I love you"
"There! That word!" he looked up at her and she had a fearful smile on her face
"Love? Yeah I love you I have been wanting to say if for a few days now but didn't know if it was to soon in the relationship to be saying that." He blushed and looked down at the buttons on his shirt. She wrapped her arms around his head and kissed it.
"Draco I love you too" his head shot up then nearly hitting her in the mouth, he stared at her as she was as red as red could get and his heart was racing his lungs and it was winning.
"Really? You're not just saying it because I said it are you?"
"No Draco I really do love you, I just didn't want you to think I was stupid if I said it so I was waiting for you to say it." She started laughing "But I guess if I waited for you I would have been waiting awhile."
"Hey I just said it!" he looked at her and she started laughing and he watched her as she laughed and finally stopped. "Draco you never actually said it correctly."
"And how am I supposed to say it?"
"The same way I did of course."
"Okay, Draco I love you." She hit him again and he laughed "Alright, alright I get." He pulled her close to him and kissed her lightly on the lips. "Hermione, I love you so much you have no idea how far I would go or what crazy things I would do just to have you tell me that you love me too." He pulled her close again and she snuggled close to him. They sat there just whispering nothing really as Draco watched the fire and Hermione played with the collar of his shirt. Then the painting opened up and there stood professor McGanigole. Hermione sat up and moved to the couch, but this time Draco went with her and he put an arm on her shoulders and held her close as the Professor took the chair they were just sitting in.
"Well Ms. Granger you have made friends with the mass of your teachers. They all said that it would be fine but they asked that you understand that if they ask you not to participate in something that you listen to them and not go off doing it later on your own."
"yes professor I will."
"Good then you may go back to semi normal Monday." She smiled and stood up. She reached down and hugged her and then she patted Draco on the shoulder to get his attention and she then hugged him. "I hoping for the best for the two of you." She waved bye and walked out. Hermione let out a sigh of relief and laid back against the couch.
"Hermione are you alright?"
"Now I am I was so worried." He giggled and leaded back and pulled her to him
"It's all better now."
"Almost"
"What do you mean 'Almost'?"
"Still have to tell Ron and Harry." She giggled and looked up at him and he let out a breath he had been holding and laid his head back on the back of the couch and put his hand over his face
"Tomorrow. Not today tomorrow I promise, but I can't handle anymore, I love you and I know you want your friends to know and understand but we are waiting, okay?"
"Okay, plus I'm tired and a little hungry." She laughed "I guess that's all normal though."
"I'm guessing so, I need to find a book on this pregnancy stuff so I know what's normal and what isn't." he laughed and they started walking to dinner, and they couldn't believe that they have been in their rooms that long. They walked in the dining room hand in hand as always and sat where they always sat but Ginny kept staring at them and then Harry and Ron knowing that they haven't told them that she was pregnant and Knew she wasn't allowed to say anything.
