Chapter 11
Two kisses for Ginny
Ginny tried her best to take her mothers advice and tried to calm down. Her and Draco had designated saturday their date night. He always took her some place romantic for dinner and often to the theater after which they would come home and make love to each other until they fell asleep in each others arms.
Neither of them mentioned a baby, They decided to stop putting so much pressure on it. Ginny was delighted to find that Draco still planned a romantic saturday night every week.
When june came around Ginny started to suspect that she may be pregnant, but she refused to let herself get her hopes up. Two weeks later when she was still late and feeling nauseous she decided it was time for a test. She was fairly certain it would be positive because this was the latest she had ever been.
Ginny came home from the apothecary and locked herself in her bathroom, her husband was due home any minute. She pricked her finger and let the blood drop into the little vile of potion. She sat on the side of the tube, bitting her nails and hoping that the three minutes would pass quickly before Draco came home. She always greeted him at the door and he would think it odd if he couldn't find her. She wanted the moment she told him to be perfect. They had waited so long, she refused to let herself just blurt it out.
Three minutes later Ginny took a deep breath and unclenched her hand that was concealing the small vile. She looked down, it was a brilliant shade of gold, she was pregnant. She was sure to buy the test that uses colors that would not reveal the child's sex, She wanted to be surprised instead of buying one that would have turned pink or blue.
Ginny broke down in tears of joy. A moment later she hear Draco come home. She quickly cast a makeup charm to cover her tears streaked face, prayed her face wouldn't give anything away and went to greet her husband.
" Hey baby" Draco greet as he kissed her.
"Hi honey, How was your day ?"
"Long and exhausting, but now I'm here with you its much better." He put his hands on her hips and pulled her to him.
" What did you do today ?"
"Mmm Little of this a little that." It was taking all of Ginny's self control not to blurt it out to him but she knew she wouldn't be able to keep it in much longer. He released her and started to head to living room.
"Come have a drink with me" He took her hand pulled her forward. Uh Oh she couldn't let that happen. She tightened her grip on his hand and yanked him back to her.
" Not so fast. I'm going to require two kisses from you when you arrive home at night." She said not letting go of his hand. He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked. He knew she couldn't resist his smirk.
"Why is that my love ?" He put his other hand on her cheek and ran his thumb over her lips, she kissed it.
"Because I want one for me" She brought his hand up to her lips and kissed it. Then she moved his hand down her neck, over her chest and rested it on her womb with her hand on top of his.
" And one for the baby" She said beaming up at him.
Draco cleared his throat before he spoke, he was obviously taken by surprise, which was exactly what she wanted.
"What ?" he said in a hardly audible whisper.
" I'm pregnant Dra..." She was cut off by his lips crashing down on hers. Her hands moved up around his neck and moved to her back.
" I can't believe I'm going to be a daddy." He said when he finally pulled away. They both had tears in their eyes as he rested his forehead to hers.
" You're going to be an amazing father."
"And you're going to be the perfect mother." He seemed to realize they were still standing in the foyer so he took her hands and led her to the living room, where he sat on the couch and pulled her onto his lap.
"How long have you known ?"
"I literally found out just as you got home ." He wrapped both arms around her waist, holding her tight.
" How far along are you ?"
" I really don't know yet, but I'm two weeks late so maybe about 6 weeks, maybe longer, I waited a long time so I wouldn't get my hopes up." She couldn't stop grinning.
" Can you come to the healers with me tomorrow ? I really want you to be there."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." She leaned down and kissed him again.
" Lets Celebrate, I'm taking you out dinner. How about the new place in Diagon Ally ?"
" Sure. I've been dying to try it and fancy enough so I can wear my new dress before I'm to fat to fit in it. Draco we have to keep this to ourselves for awhile."
" Why ? Aren't you happy about it ?"
" I'm ecstatic about it, but its bad luck to announce before 12 weeks.
"It will be our little secret until you're ready."
" Alright ?" He added. She nodded.
" Ok lets get ready for dinner."
Ginny could not stop smiling all night and Draco wouldn't take his eyes off her. The walked up to the restaurant and as usual they were bombarded with photographers and reporters. Draco kept his arm draped across Ginny's waist as he ushered her inside.
" Oh Draco, This place is beautiful" She said, Her eyes wide as she took in the elegant dining room. The ceiling was charmed to look like a starry sky and candles floated around, casting a romantic glow. The walls were adorned with beautiful pictures of various european cities.
" This room isn't half as beautiful as you are." He smiled and kissed her cheek.
" I think you're just saying that cuz I'm having your baby." She said leaning into his ear. A moment later they were shown to lovely half circle booth in a romantic corner away from the prying eyes of the reporters.
" Good evening Mr & Mrs. Malfoy. How are you tonight ?" The tall hansom waiter asked as he handed them each a menu.
" Very well thank you."
"Excellent Shall I give you a moment to look over the wine list ?"
" Yes, that would be fine. Thank you."
" Draco I can't..." Ginny started as the waiter walked away.
" I know, Gin. Give me some credit. I'll charm yours into juice, We still want to keep this to ourselves right ?" He said shifting his eyes over to the reporters who were taking their pictures through the windows.
"Yes of course."
" Then trust me" The waiter returned and Draco ordered the wine and discreetly charmed it into grape juice.
" How would have have thought we'd ever make it here ?" Ginny said, taking another spoonful of pasta.
" What do you mean baby ?" Draco furrowed his eyebrows and set his fork down.
" I mean, We've come a long way in such a short time. I never expected to be so happy, I never thought I'd have the guts to end things with Harry. And now I'm married to the love of my life with a baby on the way hardly a year later. Just who would have thought ?" She repeated again looking down at her plate.
Draco knew she felt she didn't deserve this happiness so fast , He always reminded her that Harry was not innocent in this situation. Draco leaned into her and tilted her chin to look at him.
"Me Ginny, I knew. Because we love each other and that's not wrong. I love you ."
"I love you too Draco"
" So what do my babies want for dessert ?" He said as he picked up her small hand and kissed it.
" Hmm I would have to say anything that contains large amounts of ..."
"Chocolate, I should have known." He finished.
" Want to share a piece of double fudge chocolate cake ?, Pansy said its to die for " Draco asked in an attempt to impersonate Pansy.
" That sounds delicious honey, But when have you known me to share chocolate ? I already have to share with the baby I'm sorry to tell you I'm not sharing with you."
The waiter came back and Draco ordered 2 pieces of cake and a scotch. Ginny immediately tucked into her cake but frowned at Draco when he took a sip of his scotch.
" What's wrong love ?"
" Alcohol" She said in a longing voice.
" Honey, You don't drink scotch anyway."
" I know, but if I had known I would be pregnant today I would have went out drinking last night."
" Umm baby, You were still pregnant last night, even though you didn't know it, It would still hurt the baby."
Ginny thought for a moment about her answer, but when no good answer came to her, she spoke.
" True" She said slowly. " I think you shouldn't drink until the baby is born." She said as if she were just hit by this brilliant idea.
" I don't drink allot"
" I didn't say you did, but I just think its unfair for you to drink, when I can't"
" How about I just don't drink in front of you anymore."
" Ok well then I just won't drink in front of you." She said pushing her plate away from her and folding her arms across her chest. Draco knew he was in for it now.
" Ginny, Don't pick a fight."
" I'm not picking a fight Draco, I'm asking what I think is extremely reasonable considering what I have to go through."
" Ok, Ok Love, I'll do it. Come on this is supposed to be a wonderful night for us." He leaned in and caressed her face.
" Draco I want you to want to do it for me." He leaned in and kissed her.
" Baby I would give up alcohol for the reset of my life if you asked me to."
" Really ?"
"Yes I love you. Just please don't ask me to"
Ginny chuckled. " Don't worry, I won't."
" Come on baby, finish your cake." Ginny looked sadly at her cake and shook her head.
" I wish I could, Baby doesn't seem to like chocolate as much as I do." She gave a weak smile.
" You don't feel well ?" Ginny shook her head.
"I'm sorry it just came over me, Can we go ?"
" Of course"
The next morning Ginny was awoken by a wave of nausea and ran to the bathroom. When she was finished Draco was still asleep and she didn't want to wake him. She walked over to her full length mirror a gazed at her reflection. She didn't look different. She pulled up her shirt and turned sideways. When she stood really straight and still she could see a little bulge between her hips. She smiled and ran her hand over it.
She turned back to the bed and looked at her sleeping husband. She wondered if she was going to have a blond haired, silver eyed boy or a red headed little girl with chocolate eyes. Ginny's heart filled with joy as she pictured her strawberry blondes running around the yard outside her bedroom window.
When Draco woke the first thing he saw was his wife standing in front of the mirror with a large stomach.
" Woah, how long have I been asleep ?" Ginny turned to him laughing, She pulled the pillow from under her shirt and threw it at him.
"I was just seeing how it would look." She crawled back into bed and laid her head on his chest, He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
" Can you feel it ?" He asked in a whisper. Ginny took his hand and placed it on her soft stomach and covered it with hers.
"Its kinda hard to explain, it feels like ummm.... fuzzy ?"
"Fuzzy ?"
" No I don't know if thats right, kind of swishy. I can definitely tell something is in there. I guess like butterflies, you know when your nervous."
"Hmm." Was the only thing Draco could say.
"I feel like I need to start saying wise things" He continued.
"What ?"
"Well, I'm a father now, I feel like I should sound smart and wise. My father always sounded wise. I don't feel wise." Ginny turned to face him.
" Honey, The baby is like the size of a peanut, you don't have to worry about being wise until our child starts asking questions, you have a long time." She kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm sure you will be very wise when the time comes. I'm gonna go shower, healer appointment is in 2 hours." she padded over to the bathroom and shut the door, leaving a very anxious Draco still in bed.
AN: I know this is pretty fluffy, but I was feeling sappy when I wrote this.
