Hermione was sat at the in the family dining room in Malfoy manor with her soon to be ex-husband and his parents. She was sat beside Draco and in her opinion to close to him. Why did she agree to this she thought to herself? She was sending the wrong ideas to Draco. She should have left when she had the chance!

Her parents would be going mad wondering where she was; probably thinking Draco had persuaded her not to go through with the divorce. Harry and Ron were probably pacing in front of the floo wondering what was happening.

"Are you still living with your Parents Hermione?" Narcissa said trying to make conversation and breaking Hermione's train of thought.

Hermione looked up and looked across the table at Narcissa. "Only for the rest of the week and then I'm moving out." She said picking up her glass of water and drinking some.

"Moving out? Where are you going?" Draco said looking at Hermione.

Hermione didn't want to tell him where she was moving too but she couldn't not answer his question now. "I brought a flat in Diagon Alley, it's near work and it's big enough for me and the baby. I can't live with my parents forever." She said putting down the glass. "Although I think my mother would like me to live with her forever."

"How are you feeling? Had any morning sickness? I was terribly with Draco. It was more like all day sickness. I was terribly; Lucius was so concern." Narcissa said with a small smile while looking towards Hermione.

"No sickness luckily; I've been working fine. I'm just more tired than usual." Hermione said trying to be polite to her soon to be ex-mother-in-law.

"I suppose you'll have to put in your notice at the Ministry soon for when the child arrives." Lucius said for the first time through dinner.

Hermione looked towards Lucius at the top of the table. "No; I'll still be working at the Ministry even after the baby is born. I have already sorted out everything with Kingsley. He has said I can have as much time off as I want as long as I promise to come back." She said with a smile. "I enjoy working there; I'm going to need a job if I'm going to support myself and my child." She said looking at Lucius.

"Well Draco will be able to provide for you and your child." Lucius said looking towards Hermione and Draco.

Hermione nodded her head "I'm sure he would be able to and I'm sure he'll pay for child support for this child but I don't expect him to support me as well once we are divorced." She said strongly.

There she had said it. Divorce. They were getting a divorce. She didn't want Draco thinking she was going to stop the procedures because of today.

Draco looked at Hermione; he didn't know what to say. She had said it; he knew it was true. It was final. She was stubborn he knew that. When she had her mind set one something she did it. She had set her mind on his divorce; they would be getting a divorce and he could do nothing to stop it.

"Of course Draco is entitled to be involved as much as he wants with this child; it is after all his child." She said looking at Draco and then turned towards Narcissa and Lucius. "And this child is your first Grandchild and I want you both to be involved as much or as little as you want to be. I will never stop you seeing him or her." Hermione said with a small smile.

Narcissa only nodded her head scared if she spoke she would break down and cry; she saw Hermione as a daughter and she felt like she was loosing part of her family at that very moment.

"Of course we will be very much involved with our Grandchild and you Hermione; you are of course still and will always be family to us." Lucius said with a slight smile.

"Thank you Lucius." Hermione said looking towards him.

They finished dinner with idle chit chat; scared to bring up the divorce or pregnancy. After they had all finished, Lucius rushed Narcissa out of the dining room seeing that she was near to breaking down in front of Hermione.

Draco and Hermione went upstairs to their former wing as Hermione had requested as she needed to talk to Draco.

Draco was stood up by the fireplace while Hermione said down on the sofa that she had chosen when they first married, the sofa which she had sat on waiting for Draco every night to come home. She placed her hands on her lap and took a deep breath.

"I went to see a Doctor about a week ago." She said trying to get Draco's attention.

Draco turned around and looks at Hermione. "Oh, is everything okay?" He said as he sat in the arm chair he had marked as he own when they had brought it.

Hermione looked down at her hands; trying to think of a way to word what she was going to say.

"Hermione?" Draco said starting worry that something was wrong.

"I'm carrying twins." She said looking up at Draco.

"That's great! Wow! I didn't think that would be possible" Draco said with a huge smile on his face. The idea of one baby was exciting but two!

"I was carrying twins Draco; one of them doesn't have a heartbeat." Hermione said slowly returning her gaze to her hands.

Draco looked at Hermione speechless; why hadn't he told her sooner. This was his child too. Anger boiled inside him but then he remembered that she was probably coming to terms with it herself.

"You should have told me sooner." He said after a moment of silence.

"I know…I know. I'm sorry. It was just quite a surprise to find out I was having twins and then to be told one of them was…that one of them didn't have a heartbeat. It just through me. I'm sorry but I thought you should know." She said looking at Draco.

Draco nodded his head and looked at Hermione. "But everything is okay with the other baby? Heartbeats there? It's healthy?" He said worryingly.

Hermione nodded "The Doctor said everything is fine; I'm the right size for ten weeks and everything looks good." She said with a smile. "Draco if you want to come to any Doctor's appointments I would be fine with that. IF you don't it wouldn't be a problem either. I know were getting a divorce but we need to amicable for our child. I don't want he or she growing up with us fighting and resenting one another. We don't need that and neither does our child."

"Of course I'll come." Draco said quickly.

Hermione smiled. "Okay well I'll owl you when my appointments are and where we can meet." She said. "I should be going; my parents are probably going mental by now and so will Harry and Ron." Hermione said standing up and making her way to the fireplace.

Draco stood up. "Hermione you know I never meant to hurt you." He said desperately.

Hermione turned around and looked at Draco. "You might not have meant to hurt me Draco but you did." Hermione said and walked into the fireplace. "Goodnight Draco; thank you for dinner." She said to Draco as she flooed to the Potter's.

I am so very sorry for not updated sooner; I have been so busy and time got away from me.
