Hermione paced the floor in front of the fireplace in the head's dormitory. They were going to tell the family about the baby before she got farther along. She was already a month pregnant. She didn't know how they were going to react to the news. They might say "You're too young and rethink what it took to take care of a baby."

Draco walked out of the bedroom and shook his head. Hermione had barely slept last night. He felt her toss and turn just about all night long. He knew she was worried, but this was far worst than he thought it would it be. Draco walked up to his wife and took her into his arms. Hermione sighed and rested her head down on his shoulder. He gently rubbed her back. He summoned a cup of tea and it landed neatly on the coffee table. He sat her down and handed her the hot cup. Hermione thanked up and sat back with heavy sigh.

Draco knelt down in front of his wife and took her hands into his. "It will be just fine. They'll be shocked but I believe their be happy none the less. At lest our mothers will be. Now, our fathers are two different stories. But don't worry. Should I have Luna check it out before they come?" Hermione laughed and shook her head. Draco smirked. "Just relax. It's time to tell them." Hermione nodded. Draco kissed both of her hands and sat down next to his wife.

The couple saw the flames turn green and Julie and Evan stepped into the common room followed by Lucius and Narcissa. Julie sat her son down on the floor and he walked over to his older sister. Hermione smiled and picked him up and sat him down on her lap. Narcissa took Draco into her arms and hugged him tightly. He gasped when the air escaped his body. She pulled back and Julie pulled him into a tighter hug. Lucius smiled and kiss Hermione on the cheek. Narcissa kissed Hermione on the cheek. Julie kissed and hugged her daughter.

Severus walked into the room with his black robes blowing behind him. He greeted Lucius and Narcissa. He kissed Julie and ruffled his son's hair. Evan tired to pushed his father's hand away. Hermione laughed and gently flattened his black hair with her fingers.

The family sat down waiting for the couple to begin. The women already had an idea why they were called to Hogwarts. Severus had already noticed a change in his daughter. Lucius studied the couple carefully.

Hermione shifted Evan in her lap. He laughed and began to play with the north star that hung around her neck. Severus smiled gently at his children. She looked down at her brother and smiled. She looked over at her husband.

Draco looked at his parents and his in-laws trying to figure out where to start. He wished there was a book on this type of thing. He mentally shook his head. He rubbed the back of his neck and prayed that they wouldn't flip to the nines.

"Draco dear, just take a deep breath and give it a shot." said Narcissa. He nodded his head. She smiled gently.

"We called you here for a reason. We think it's finally time to tell you." he looked at the family. "We're going to have a baby."

Severus studied the couple for a moment. He knew that's what was going on with his only daughter. "Are two ready for this, Draco? It's not like studying for a test. It's a consent responsibility." he waited for the information to sink in before he continued. "It will not be easy with you still in school."

Hermione chewed on her bottom lip. She thought she'd get more support especially from her father. He was always so understanding towards her.

"Daddy, I know it won't be easy. I've watched over Evan many times to know. I also know it's not like watching Evan. I just can't stop watching him. I mean with Evan I can…well, hand him over to the both of you when I get tried."

"Draco, Severus is right. Are you ready for this?" Lucius asked his only son. "You can't just leave Hermione to watch over the child. It will take both of you to care for your son or daughter."

Draco narrowed his eyes at his father. "I know that, Father. I know it won't be easy. I think if I can handle being a spy for nearly three years I can handle taking care of my own child." he hissed.

"And your short temper will not help you in this matter." he pointed out.

Draco took several deep breaths. He nodded knowing his father was correct about his temper. "I know we'll have help from our friends. They've already asked to help us out when we need them. Mother say something. Please."

Narcissa sat back and crossed her legs. She laid her hands in her lap. "You are young sweetheart. But I will help you when you need it. You are of age to make your own choices. I just want you to think long and hard about this."

"We've had a month to think it over." Hermione said finally voicing her thoughts further.

"A month!" Julie said in shock. They had kept this to themselves for so long.

"We didn't know how to tell you. Please understand that. Come on Mom. You and Dad were twenty when you had me. We're not that much older."

"We were out of school Hermione Jean Malfoy! Your in school! Who knows what the students will think? They don't know you're married!" she said starting to yell at the couple.

Severus gently rested his hand on his wife's shoulder. Julie relaxed some. He rose from his chair. "Come on princess." he held out his hand. Hermione sat Evan down on the couch. She took her father's hand. "Let's go for a walk. Alright?" she nodded and they left the common room.

Julie watched her daughter leave with her father. She had to admit at times she was jealous that Hermione didn't confided in her. They didn't even talk about her boyfriends. When she had to play apart when Draco was spying. The way her friends were and the fights. Hermione had mainly turned to her father for that comfort and advice.

Narcissa squeezed Julie's shoulder and told her that things were going to be fine. Hermione would turn to her when the baby came. She would need her help where Severus couldn't and that made Julie smile. She nodded her head.

Severus and Hermione quietly walked the grounds of the school. He led her to his favorite spot on the rocks near the Forrest. He climb on the top and gently helped his daughter. The area was away from the on lookers and they could talk without interruptions.

Hermione looked down at her hands and chewed on her bottom lip. She didn't know were to begin. The way he talked to her in the common room in away scared her and really upset her. Severus quietly studied Hermione for a moment. He gently rested his hand over her hand and gave it a squeeze. She looked up with tears in her eyes.

"Oh sweetheart," he pulled into his arms. "I'm not angry with you. I just want you to understand what will happen when this baby comes. I thought I was ready when you. I found out your mother was pregnant with you." Severus whispered. "Oh no sweetheart it's not like that. I wouldn't change anything for the world. I love you. We were so young Hermione."

Hermione gripped his father's robes and let the tears fall down her cheeks. The memory of her mother's out burst come to her mind. Severus gently rubbed soothing circles on her back when heard a small sob escape her lips. He kissed her hairline and rested his cheek on top of her forehead.

"I'll help you. I could never turn you away. It's just a little bit sooner than you planned. Am I right?" he asked more in a statement than a question. Hermione nodded her head. "I hope you know you'll have to tell the Headmaster and Poppy."

"Must I have to tell them." Hermione whispered.

"Yes you must tell them. Your mother was correct about the students and the rumors." He pulled back and cupped her face gently. "Prepare yourself for a lot of stupid." Hermione laughed and nodded her head. He always had away to make her laughed. "Come on, it's best we head back." she nodded and they slowly made their way back to the castle.

The couple walked into the common room. Julie quickly took Hermione into her arms. She told her that she was just shocked. She would help her through it. Hermione smiled returned the hug. Narcissa offered her help and so did Luicus. Draco smiled grateful of such an understanding family. The students wouldn't believe their eyes if they would walk into the common room at this very moment.

The family said their farewells and left the way they entered. Severus squeezed Hermione's shoulder and told the couple it was time to tell the headmaster. They only nodded and followed Potions Master down the corridors to the headmaster's office.

Professor Dumbledore motioned for the trio to have a seat. He quickly flooed for the nurse and the deputy headmistress. They walked into the office. The witches took their seats.

Albus studied his students carefully. He pressed his fingers together. "Now, children what brings you here?"

Hermione took a deep breath. Draco took her hand and nodded his head. Severus stood behind his daughter and rested both his hands on her shoulders. Poppy raised her brow. She didn't know the truth about the family.

"It's alright sweetheart." Severus said gently. She nodded her head.

"I 'm pregnant." Hermione told them. She looked at the nurse knowing what was about to happen.

"You will reframe from insulting my daughter Poppy. Hermione is married to Draco." Severus hissed. "If you show any insults we shall find medical care else where. Do you understand me? Oh yes, the lovely visit from Mr. Weasely was a little prize for insulting my family." he said with a smirk. Draco laughed not surprised.

"Well, Mrs. Malfoy we will help you much as possible." Minerva said with a rare smile. Albus nodded his head.

"Thank you Professors." Draco said. "We will take our leave and let Severus explain things to the nurse." The couple left the headmaster's office.

Severus sat down in the chair his daughter was sitting. He sat back and crossed his arms. He began his long story. After nearly two hours Poppy smiled and nodded her head. She flooed back to the hospital wing. Severus went to his office to get some grading done.
