Chapter 25

**Disclaimer: Only thing HP related is my books & DVDs. Thats it. :(**

Hermione watched out the window of the plane as they landed in Ireland. She was surprised when they arrived at the airport to fly. Draco said it was easier than taking so many floo's when they don't have time frame to arrive.

She marveled at the beautiful lush scenery of fields and streams. She knew she would love her week here. They landed and unboarded ad headed to baggage claim. Once they ha their bags, they found a car waiting for them to take them to their cottage.

"What do you think?" Draco asked as they stepped out of the car.

"Its absolutely beautiful!" Hermione said. She stood outside a gate that the path led to a mall white cottage. It had sprays of ivy snaking their way up, beautiful, color flowers lining the walkway. She walked up to the door and awed even more at the inside.

"Draco, this is amazing. So simple yet beautiful."

"Only the best for you." Draco said as he leaned down and kissed her. "Lets go unpack and get something going for dinner."

He led her to the one bedroom. It had a hand carved king bed, chester drawers, double door dresser ad a desk, all made of cherry wood. The first door led into a large bathroom with a large tub and shower.

Hermione put her things away and went to the kitchen. The fridge and pantry had been fully stocked before they arrived. As she was getting what she wanted to cook out, she felt arms snake their way around her waist.

"I'm cooking tonight, love. You take a seat." Draco whispered in her ear and kissing her neck, causing shivers down her spine.

She sat at the island as Draco began cooking. She couldn't help but smile at him. To say she wasn't nervous about later that night would be a lie. She hadnt done anything with him since the incident. She was nervous as to how he would feel about it. She knew Draco would be gentle with her, she just couldn't get past the knowing of him not being her first.

"What has you thinking so hard?"

"Just thinking about how I never knew you could cook."

"Well, I learned from watching Tontey and Goria. Would you like some wine while we wait for dinner to cook?" Draco asked reaching for two glasses.

"I'd love some." She accepted the glass from Draco and followed him to the living room. She snuggled into his side, pulling her legs under her.

"You're going to enjoy this week. I have a few things planned for us to do." Draco said, rubbing his hand up and down her arm.

"Like what?"

"You'll see, but I also plan on staying in some, too." He winked at her. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked when her face fell a bit.

"Nothing."

"I know there is. Are you afraid to have sex with me?"

"It's not that."

"Then what is it? Are you afraid that I won't want you after what happened?" She nodded. "Hermione, look at me. I love you. No matter what happened I will always want you. Only when you are ready is when I will do anything." He kissed her with the truth she needed to hear.

She deepened the kiss and pulled him to her. His tongue beghing for entrance that happily gave. He held the back of her head with his hand intertwined in her hair. She wrapped hers in his hair. They kissed deeply and passionately until the timer went off signaling the food was ready.

"I love you." Hermione said, her forehead pressed to his.

"I love you, too baby." He kissed her nose. "Let's go eat."

They sat at the island enjoying their meal and wine, having a light conversation. When they finished, Draco cleaned the dishes away while Hermione excused herself to the bathroom.

She took her make up bag with her. She opened it and found th vial. She laid it off to the side as she fixed herself up. She stripped of her clothes and put on the emerald green nighty set Ginny bought her. She sprayed a bit of perfume on and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Here it goes." She whispered. "Draco! Can you come here please?" She yelled. When she heard hs footsteps she quickly shot back the vial.

"What is it, love?" He asked as he walked in. His jaw dropped when Hermione walked out of the bathroom. "What? Wow."

Hermione giggled. She motioned him over with her finger. He made his way over, wrapping her in his arms.

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing." She crashed he lips on his.

Draco moved with her. He picked her up and carried her to the bed, laying her down. He kissed down her jaw, to her neck and over he collar bone. She let out a gasp as he ran his tongue over her shoulder.

She began unbuttoning his shirt and kissing his neck and exposed shoulders. He shrugged his shirt off and she ran her hands over his muscled chest. She met his lips again as he ran his hand down her sides and over her hips.

"Are you sure you're ready, love?"

Hermione nodded. "I am. Make love to me, Draco." She whispered.

Draco undone his belt and pants and slid them off. He pulled her nighty over her head and ran his hand over her breast as he brought hi hand down. She let out a gasp at his touch. He continued his way down, pulling her panties off. He ran his hand over her, causing her to take in a breath.

"You're so beautiful. I love you." He said as he lined himself up over her. He kissed her deeply as he pushe slowly inside her.

Hermione let a moan escape her lips. When he entered her, it was gentle. It ignited a spark in her. He slowly began moving, making her feel pleasure 't know she could feel.

"You okay?"

"Yes. Please, more Draco. It..feels...good." She panted out.

Draco continued getting faster each time. Hermione could feel her stomach clenching in knots, heat rising up her body until she felt her world explode, causing her vision to go white for a moment.

"Draco."

"Hermione." Draco called out as his release came shortly after hers. He slid of her, pulling her to his side. "Are you okay?"

"I'm wonderful. That was amazing. I didn't know I could feel like that."

"I'm glad, baby. It was from being with someone you love."

"I know. Want to go again?" She smiled slyly.

"You sex maniac." Draco smiled as he flipped her over.

The rest of the night the made love to each other, Hermione feeling loved fully for the first time.

Hermione woke the next morning with the sun shining on her face. She smiled when she felt Draco's arms around her. She shimmied out of his grasp to relieve herself before slipping Draco's shirt on and heading to make breakfast.

Twenty minutes later Draco woke to an empty bed. He could smell the wonderful aroma of food seeping in the room. He threw the covers off, went to relieve himself and put on a pair of pajama pants. When he walked into the kitchen he couldn't help but smile at the sight of his wife wearing hs shirt.

He walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her neck. "I could get used to you cooking in nothing but my shirt."

"Behave yourself, Mr. Malfoy. Go sit. It will be ready in a minute."

Draco done as he ws told. A few minutes later Hermione set his plate in front of him and sat down with her own.

"What's planned for today, love?" Hermione asked.

"A walk around the town. Lunch. Whatever you want to do." Draco smiled.

They finished breakfast and went to shower. Thirty minutes and a quick romp later they both emerged, ready to head to town. They walked the short distance to town and explored. Hermione couldn't help but shop for the babies and Amelia. She even bout her girl friends a charm bracelet.

They continued around town before grabbing lunch to go and heading to the country side for a picnic. Draco laid out a blanket and began taking the food out.

"It's beautiful here. Definatly paint worthy." Hermione said taking her food.

"That it is love." Draco replied. He had an idea running through his head.

They spent the rest of the afternoon together, even watching the sun go down. They made it back to cottage as it got dark. Neither one worried about cooking.

They stayed in each others arms that night, exploring each other any times. Hermione loves the bliss Draco brought her each time he made love to her. Neither one of them could have been happier in that moment.

Draco snuck out of bed before Hermione could wake up. He made a quick trip to town and back before she woke. He set things up in the back garden for her and made a path of flower petals from the back door to the bed. He left a carnation flower on the pillow beside her, poked her and quickly ran out the door.

Hermione woke up with a start at Draco poking her. She opened her eyes to a carnation on the pillow where Draco once was. She sat up, wrapping the sheet around her and noticed a line of flower petals leading out the door. She follwed them to the back door and gasped at what awaited her. Draco had set her up a new canvas and paints.

"What do you think? I thought you would like to paint the scenery. We do have time for you to complete it, if nt we can always stay longer."

She threw her arm around him, her other hand still holding the sheet around her. "I love it! Thank you."

Draco smiled. He served her breakfast and let her dress and she began on the painting. Draco loved to watch her paint. He knew she was truly happy when she did. He gave her a break to eat and spend time together. He couldn't have been any happier with how life had turned around for him.

The honeymoon ended for the couple and they were headed back home. Harry sent a letter letting them know Jasmine was being admitted to the hospital due to it getting close for the twins to come along.

They landed and sent their things to the manor and left for St. Mungo's. Hermione led the way to the maternity ward to see Harry.

"Harry!"

"Hermione! How are you?" Hary said hugging his friend.

"Great. How is Jas?"

"About to go crazy. Why don't you go on in and see her."

Hermione nodded. She left Draco and Harry to talk while she went to see about Jasmine. "Hey, Jas."

"Hermione! Hey. When did you get back?"

"About an hour ago. How is the progress coming along?" Hermione sat in the chair beside the bed.

"It's going. My water broke not long ago. They said it could be awhile longer before they show themselves. Contractions are getting closer together."

Hermione watched the machine Jasmine was hooked to. "Contractions are three minutes apart. Have they checked to see how far dialated you are?"

Jasmine shook her head. "No. I havent seen anyone all day." She huffed.

"Mind if I see? I took courses on child birth after my first one during my second year."

"Please, go ahead."

Hermione nodded and slipped gloves on. She check Jasmine and was in shock. "Jas, you are 8 centimeters. Its almost time."

Jasmine scrunched her face in pain. "I can tell. Contractions are very close now."

"I'll be right back." Hermione threw the gloves in the trash and went to the nurses desk. "Excuse me, where is Jasmine Potter's nurse and doctor?"

"They have left for their hour lunch." The receptionist said as if she was bored.

"Well, you better find a way to contact them. She is going into labor." Hermione said annoyed. "Harry!"

"What is it?" Harry asked running to her, Draco on his heels.

"It's timr to meet your children. I'm going to deliver. Er doc decided to go on lunch." Hermione said as she entered the room.

She quickly pulled her hair back, slipped into a gown and gloves and sat at the foot of the bed. "Okay, Jas, do you trust me?"

"Yes."

"Alright. When I say push, you push." Hermione watched the machine and at a contraction she yelled. "Alright push Jas. Push sweetie! Come on."

She could see a head crowning and yelled again. This time Jasmine pushed hard and Hermione the baby and finally came.

"It's a baby boy." Hermione said as she wiped him and wrapped a blanket around him.

"Where is Doctor Bension?" The older nurse asked.

"Lunch. I'm an employee here and I took the proper child birth classes. Can you clean baby boy please? The next one is almost here."

The nurse quicklu went to work on doing the proper procedures on cleaning and caring for the baby.

"Okay, Jas, here we go. Give me a big push!" Jasmine pushed as hard as she could before falling back. Hermione helped the baby out after another two pushes.

"A baby girl. Congrats you two." Hermioe said as she handed the baby off.

"Miss Granger? I didn't know you could deliver babies."

"Dr. Bension. It's Malfoy now, and yes, I took a course. The babie have been successfully delivered."

"Excellent. I'll finish up. You get cleaned up." Dr. Bension dressed out and went about cleaning Jasmine.

Hermione cleaned up and joined her husband and friends. She smiled at Harry holding his son.

"Have you chosen names?" She asked.

"Yeah. His name is James Rylan and her name is Lily Jean. We gave her your middle name. It's only right since you delivered them." Harry smiled.

Hermione had tears in her eyes. "Come on, let me see. Share." She held her arms out to hold the babies.

Harry placed James first then Lily. James had Jasmine's eyes and Harry's unruly hair. Lily had Harry's eyes and Jasmine's hair. They were the most adorable babies she had ever seen.

"I have one more godchild left to have. Aunt Mione sure is going to spoil the three of you. Speaking of, Uncle Draco and I brought you and big sister something."

Draco nodded and handed the bag to Jasmine before taking James. Jasmine opened the bag and pulled out a shirt for Amelia. It said 'Big sister to..' on the front and on the back James and Lily's names magically appeared. Jasmine then pulled out a set of onesies that said 'Auntie's Little Angel. Uncle's little Monster'

"Aw, Hermione. These are so cute." Jasmine squealed.

"Mommy? Are babies here?" Amelia asked from the door.

"Hey sweetie. Yes, come see."

Amelia ran to the bed. Draco and Hermione gave the twins back and watched. Ginny and Blaise came in and everyone awed over them.

"By a miracle, maybe we can have this." Draco whispered.

"Maybe so. By a miracle." Hermione smiled.
