Choices

It was 8 am and Draco was finising up his shower getting ready to meet Nany for breakfast to discuss their unborn son. He was nervous, mad, and alittle happy. He did want more kids and a son would be the most amazing thing but he had hoped it would be with a woman he was madly in love with. He hardly could recall what she looked like. Draco thought hard about that night trying to rememberevery detail he could.

Flashback::

"Hello there handsome are you looking for alittle company?" Nany sat at his table that was in the back of the bar in a dim lit corner.

"Well i guess sine you already sat down i am." Draco said.

"I've seen you around you know. your always alone don't you have a wife?" She was batting her eyes at him now.

Draco was already pretty drunk he had a rough day and needed to unwind. She was pretty sexy he thought. "No wife. what about you? Your Hermione Grangers friend aren't you?"

"Her no we just work together I agreed to go out with her because i felt bad she was begging me for weeks she's a sad case that girl. So hung up on her ex who is dead now. She told me she slept with some one recently and cryed over it for days. She'll never get over that dead lover of hers...she talks about him like hes still alive."

Great she regretted being with me he thought. "I see." was all he could get out.

The rest of the night went by with some heavey flirting. Draco figured if she was going to regrett it he wouldn't even try. At this point he was so drunk he could barely see straight and desided Nany would be perfect for a one night stand and he was extreamly horny.

End Flashback::

Damn now he wondering if she was still hung up on Ron after spending so much time with him. Maybe he should let the idea go and really consider what Nany had to say.

"Hello Nany is it?" Wow she was prettier than he remembered but she was no Hermione.

"Yes Nany Everwood. Thank you for meeting me Draco i was afraid I'd scared you off." She reached for his hand to shake it.

He sat down across from her not really sure what to say. " So what where your thoughts on what to do here?"

"I was wondering if it would be out of the question to maybe date and se what we can make come of this. I've seen you around alot and I must admit I've been in love with you for awhile. I jumped on the chance to talk to you that night and well we know how that ended. I was scared to tell you about the baby i didn't want you to think I was some crazy person." She blushed alittle.

"No i took part in it as well as you so we should figure this out together." He was afraid to agree to dateing her, he wasn't sure if he was ready to give up on Hermione just yet. After he told her about Nany he was shure she would want nothing to do with him however. It was about doing what was right for his kids. " How about we go out to dinner tonight I'll bring my daughter Rowan and we can all get to know each other alittle more. Would that be ok with you?"

Nany thought about it she wanted to get him alone not with his little brat but if she didn't agree than she might loss her chance. Oh well she thought after we are married I'll ship the little runt off to boarding school. "That would be perfect. I'd love to meet her, I hope she will like me." She put on a fake smile for him.

"Good than i guess I'll see you tonight. I'll owl you a time to be ready once im sure what time I'll be done for the evening." He stood back up and Nany fallowed his lead. He put his hand out to shake goodbye and was stunned when the woman wrapped her arms around his neck. "See you tonight than."

After picking up Rowan from his cusins house he desided to stop and see Hermione. He figured it would be best if she heard about the date from him instead of someone else.

"Draco what are you doing here?" She got up from her desk and walked over to him and the little girl. "Rowan you look beautiful in that dress."

The blonde girl spun around showing off her new dress. "Thank you Aunt Tonks made it for me. Teddy said it was ugly and than did this." She stuck out her tounge to Hermione than continued. "Than Uncle Remus sent him to his room. Are there kitties here?"

"Yes there are they are in that room right over there go ahead and have a look." Hermione pointed to the door than turned her attention back on the silver eyed Malfoy. "Is everything alright?"

Draco wasn't sure how to bring it up what if she didn't care at all. "Well i thought i'd adopt a cat for Rowan." Crap now he had to get a fur ball. Than desided to bring up the date as if she was one of the guys. "I'm taking her out tonight to meet my date and i don't want her to give me to much of a hard time over it."

"Oh." Hermione felt like she had been slapped in the face maybe he didn't feel the same way after all. Feeling alittle stupid she pretended like it didn't bother her. "Well thats a clever idea." She flashed him the most real smile she could muster up.

"Yeah i was thinking of getting her one anyways so it seemed like perfct timeing." Damn she didn't care Nany was right she is still hung up on Ron he thought.

"So who's the lucky girl?" She couldn't help it she needed to know.

"Nany Everwood I belive you know her." He tryed making his voice sound like he wasn't crushed by her lack of caring.

"Na-Nany? Really? I didn't know you were seeing her. Infact before she quit she was talking about some Edward guy." Hermione couldn't belive it. How could Nany she was sapose to be her friend she new Hermione was interested in him.

Draco thought he heard a slit annoyance in her voice and felt a wave of hope. "Yes, you dont mind do you?"

Not wanting to sound like an idiot she smiled and said. "Not at all i was just surprised she never said aword about it." Well that was that she was never going to talk to that bitch again.

"Daddy look at this kitty can i have him ppppplleassssse." Rowan walked out holding an almost all black cat only the tip of his tail was white and his eyes were as blue as hers.

"Yes I think that cat would be a perfect addition to our home." He kissed her head and filled out the paper work, leaving very disapointed.

The day dragged on and he wanted badly to get out of dinner. This wasn't at all what he wanted everything was a mess. He and Rowan got ready for the date with out saying a word to each other. Rowan refused to talk to her father after he refused to let her stay home with Hemione. She didn't want to meet this new lady why couldn't he go on a date with someone she knew and liked. After yelling at her father that it wasn't fair he let her go and didn't force her to talk. after all he agreed with the girl he wanted to stay with Hermione also it wasn't fair but he couldn't tell her that now could he.

So he sat and waited till the time came that he needed to leave to meet Nany. He wouldn't think about the brunette again it was never going to happen and he didn't want to be hurt because he was entertaining and impossible idea.
