EPILOGUE
"OPHELIA MARIE! GET DOWN HERE NOW AND LET ME TIE YOUR SHOE!"
Hailey pushed her short brown hair out of her eyes. Ophelia, her 5 year old daughter, had decided to be very difficult in that one moment.
"Scorpius, you too mister!"
Hailey heard squealing, then feet running down the stairs.
"MOMMY! SCORPIUS HIT ME!"
"NUH-UH! SHE PINCHED ME!"
Hailey rolled her eyes. Kids. She grabbed one by the collar and the other by the shirt. Squeals of laughter erupted from the children.
"Ok, ok I get it; now go get your shoes. Today we go get daddy."
She watched her two children run off to go get their shoes. It was really strange telling them that they were going to get their father. They didn't even know who he was, and he didn't know about them. Talking to Narcissa, she convinced the mother that Draco really needed to meet his children. Reluctantly, she agreed, after getting Hailey to say that the children could come play more often. The two children came running back with shoes on the wrong feet. Hailey sighed, and then bend over to fix their shoes. She finished with their shoes, and then looked over at the clock. She took both their hands, and walked back over to the door.
"Ok, out the door, let's go."
Screams could be heard a mile away. The two ran outside and chased each other for a little while. She locked the door, and then turned to the children.
"In the car, let's go!"
The children scrambled into the car and buckled themselves in. Hailey let out a huge sigh, and started the car. She wasn't sure what Draco was going to say. He had no clue about the children. How would he, being locked up for the past 5 years. As Hailey drove, she thought about all the past events that have happened, and how she got tangled into this mess. Draco got himself wrapped up in the wrong crowd, got caught, and now has done his time. She was just the girlfriend that was "there". Of course as soon as he was locked up, she was 6 months pregnant with twins. She had the twins, and raised them to the best of her ability. It didn't help that both kids looked just like Draco, blonde hair and big grey eyes. She glanced in the rear view mirror at the two kids, babbling to themselves. It made her smile, looking at the two. A pair of regular Malfoys.
When she pulled up to the jail, she shuddered. She didn't like the place, it gave her the chills. Looking up, she glanced at the clouds that filled the sky. Perfect weather for a perfect place. She took each child's hand in her own and walked inside. The man at the front counter just gave her a glance.
"Kin I halp you?"
"Yes, I am here to pick up Draco Malfoy."
He looked over Hailey once. Making a hacking sound, he got up and looked in some folders.
"Malfoy eh?"
"Hailey only nodded her head, and held on to the twins hands tighter. She glanced down at them and smiled. The twins only stared around the room. Scorpio seemed to hide behind her. As soon as she glanced up, the door in front of her clicked open. Her eyes became wide at the sight of Draco walking out. He has a least 2 weeks worth of stubble on his face, and he didn't look very happy at all. When he glanced up and saw Hailey standing there, his face changed immediately. When he saw Ophelia, his eyes became wide, and then sadness crept over his face.
"Hailey, it's really you."
"Who did you think it was, the Easter Bunny?"
"Why are you here?"
"I came to get you."
"Your husband approves?"
Hailey stared at Draco for a moment. Draco only stared back.
"What in the world are you talking about?"
"Your husband."
"Draco I am not married."
Draco stared at Hailey for just a moment, and then glanced down at Ophelia again.
"But…"
Hailey looked at Ophelia.
"Um, Draco are you serious right now?"
"Yea I am serious!"
"Draco she is yours"
Draco's face was priceless. It was as if a brick had fallen on his head.
"I have a daughter?"
"Yep"
"How?"
"You got locked up. 3 months later I had kids."
"Kids? As in plural"
At that moment Scorpius popped his head out from behind Hailey. Draco stared at the twins for just a moment, and then started laughing. The twins held on tight to Hailey's legs. Draco bent down and stared at them for just a moment. Ophelia, being the braver of the two, stepped up to Draco.
"You look like a grizzly man"
Hailey's eyes almost popped out of her head. She covered her mouth to try and stifle a laugh. Draco glanced up at Hailey, and then looked back at Ophelia.
"You sure are cheeky"
"What's cheeky?"
"Never mind"
"Are you my daddy?"
Draco felt the tears fill his eyes at the question. After staring at the two kids, it was very obvious that they were his. Both had his blonde hair and the Malfoy eyes. She gave her a small smile.
"Yea, I am your daddy."
Ophelia seemed satisfied with this and walked up to him, promptly kissing his cheek. Draco stood up and looked at Hailey again. Hailey watched Ophelia as the little girl slid her hand into Draco's. Scorpious stared at his sister, and then took his mother's hand, still unsure off the man before him. Draco walked over to Hailey, and with his free hand, he wrapped it around Hailey and took a deep breath.
"I really can't believe that you're here. Where's mum?"
"Um… I had to make a deal with your mum in order to get out here. So she is not coming."
Draco could only smile at the thought that Hailey did so much to come get him. He also realized that Hailey had raised his two kids all on her own. Tears fell down his face.
"I am so sorry Hailey. I never meant to leave you all alone with two kids to raise. I thought…. If I had known…."
He placed his hand on his head and pushed hair back. Hailey smiled at him.
"Draco, chill out. I have been fine. Your mom has helped me out a lot, and I have a job. The kids are good kids, and I am just happy that you are out."
She took his free hand with hers and gave it a squeeze. He glanced over at her, and they started to walk outside. When he saw the SUV with the car seats, he smiled. Hailey glanced over at him, seeing the smile. She took his hand again, and gave him a smile.
"Let's go home, shall we?"
