Chapter 14: For the First Time
Draco shut the front door and leaned against it, letting out a sigh of relief. His parents had just come to our new house to have a look around. It was a larger two story in the middle of a lovely field. In the distance were rolling mountains and a large sparkling lake.
The house itself is a fancy, two story brick house with a large porch, and a chimney to top it all off. At first I protested in buying it, for it was big an utterly ridiculous to have, but Draco managed to convince me, saying I needed a quiet life.
"Can you believe three years ago I lived with them?"
"Be nice." I patted his shoulder and smirked. Draco ran his fingers through my dark hair, which I changed soon after my name change.
"It's nice to finally have our own house. That apartment in muggle London was nice, but this is magnificent."
"And it's all ours." I smiled. Draco beamed and grabbed me by the waist, picking me up and spinning me around. I laughed.
"What do you want to do this afternoon?" Draco murmured, his lips brushing my neck.
"I have a few things in mind." I smirked. Pressing my lips to his, I pushed him backwards, steering him to the living room and making him fall onto the couch.
"Shag in the living room? On the bloody couch?" Draco raised a blonde eyebrow as he unbuttoned his shirt.
"You act like you're surprised."
"Well the last time I made advances, which were when we were much younger, you flat out rejected me." Draco managed to unbutton his shirt and I tossed it over my shoulder.
"We were like 16 Draco. Now we're adults."
"But-"
"If you want to shag, shut up." I gave him a stern look. Draco nodded earnestly, lifting my shirt over my head. "I have one question though Draco. What are your thoughts on kids?"
"Kids?"
"No bloody dementors. Yes kids."
"If you were to ask me this oh… four years ago, I'd have run away screaming. Literally. But now, I sort of like the idea."
"Really?" I stared at him, surprised.
"I've changed. I'm not a power hungry, bloody prat."
"You've changed, but not that much." I wrinkled my nose at him.
"Offensive." His hand travelled down my stomach.
I caught his hand, "Okay so we've decided it's a yes for the kids?"
"Definitely."
"You're amazing."
"So what am I just supposed to do, just go at it with you?"
"I hope it's more romantic than that." I rolled my eyes.
"Yes it will be," Draco leaned in to kiss me. I held my hand up, making him whine.
"One more thing to say."
"Yes?" Draco's voice held a tad bit of impatience.
"I don't want them quite yet. I mean, shagging whenever we want and where ever we want if phenomenal."
"Couldn't agree more." Draco caught my lips with his.
"Astoria. Hey Astoria, wake up. I have a surprise for you."
I groaned and sat up, rubbing my eyes. "It's nine in the morning Draco. I know it's my bloody birthday but I want to sleep in."
"I just want to give you your first birthday present." A warm tongue licks my chin.
"Please tell me it's not your tongue licking me." I open my eyes hesitantly to see a grinning Draco and a puppy with golden fur and big paws. "Oh he's darling!" I squeal as I hug the eager dog.
"Happy birthday love. It's a boy." Draco sat on our bed next to me and presses a kiss to my temple.
"He's perfect." I smiled at Draco. "I know why you got him."
"Of course you do! Not every day you turn 23." He smirked and rubbed the puppy's belly.
"Besides that," I hit his arm, "I remember a long time ago that you said you picture us in a house with a dog that I named some silly name."
"And us being perfectly happy." Draco smiled to himself.
"And we are. By the way, this puppy's name will be…" I held the dog up and studied him, "Maxwell. Max for short."
"It's perfect."
"And I have a surprise for you too mister Malfoy."
"It's your birthday; I should be the one giving you the surprises."
"Well I just received the news this morning."
"Hit me with it."
I bit my lip in anticipation, "I'm pregnant."
Draco's face was emotionless. His grey eyes were wide, "…W-w-what?"
I held his face in my hands, "I. Am. Pregnant."
"Oh my gosh!" Draco pounced on me with a bear hug. Max whimpered and jumped around.
"Surprise!" I laughed.
"No way! Oh my gosh! I can't believe this! This… this is great!"
"It really is." I stared into his grey eyes. They sparkled as he grinned.
"I love you Astoria. I truly do. Really."
"I love you too Draco."
