CHAPTER 36 Living and Breathing

She hummed in greatfulness as she tastes her food inside her mouth. Glad to finally taste something that her craving wants. As per usual, it was all about her pudding madness, and somehow, it was something that she blames for not noticing her pregnancy. She had always been crazy for that treat, so she thinks nobody could blame her for not getting the subtle hints that her body keeps on making her realize.

And so she continued, not minding that Draco was right next to her and was actually staring with his eyes focused to her face. She picks up her cup, and sticks her tongue out to lick the remains inside"That's disgusting Luna" she grumbled but continued to lick the cup clean and soon, after the cup was actually devoured, she took the next step and that was her spoon."So this is what craving's all about" he asked;well, it was almost as if he had just figured out something. And Luna only nodded, smiling sweetly at him as soon as she licked her spoon clean.

"You do realize that our child is already six months old?" he asks, placing his head to his palm as he scooted his elbow closer to her bed.

"We should decide some names" she said as calm as how she would want herself to show, but in truth, in her inside, she was squealing happily to the thought of no longer calling the child as 'child', and that, they would actually have a name.

He sat beside Luna, looping his arm around her waist as he pulled her gently to him. She sighed in contentment, closing her eyes as she inhales Draco's scent. "Draco, what would you like to name him? If he was a boy?" somehow, she can feel that the baby wasn't. She can feel that her child was a 'she' and not a 'he'. But she feels that Draco would want a boy-well, men commonly do.

"You see-" he sighed as if he was in pain. Luna noticed his uneasiness and shifted her weight to him, planting both of her elbows to Draco's chest and continue to smile and stare to his eyes. "-there is this Malfoy tradition to name their children after some constellations. Things like Dragon to Draco"his fingers lost their way to Luna's curls, mindlessly curling her strands inside her hand. "Moon is equals to Luna. We should still follow it, it's really impressive" she said dreamily back to his statement.

"What about Leo?" She asks him after a few seconds of silence.

"It feels as if I'm supporting Gryffindor" he snorted. A hint of bitterness lingered to his tone. Luna kissed his chin warmly, trying to ease his once again, troubling thoughts. She knows that he has this some kind of tension between Harry, and people actually thinks that he was evil. But then, after all this time, he wasn't the antagonist in her eyes. He was just- Draco with all of his walls, and Luna is still eager to break all of them. Too eager to finally make him feel that he was actually created beautifully.

"What about Scorpius?" she requested once again.

"Scorpius? Scorpius" he tasted the name on his tongue, smiling as he felt that the name fits so perfectly. "I like Lysander too" he smiled and she nodded in return, circling her hand to her tummy as she kept on imagining the child inside her. Their child would have blonde hair for sure, but then, she wishes that the child would look like Draco. He may say that she was beautiful, but she thinks that Draco's more beautiful for the both of them.

"Excuse me Sir,-" the couple turned their heads to look at the Healer leaning on the door frame. "-would the patient want to know the sex of the baby?" Luna's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the healer appeared their head to the room. Without another word shared, she turned her head to look at Draco, trying to look for a hint that would tell if he agrees or not."Yes, sure" he said as he saw her eyes lit up towards him. He smiled at her, happy to see her look so glowing beneath her pale skin, and without another word, he nodded, joining along with her excitement.

As she was assigned to lay to the cot with her hospital dress, Luna puffes out a deep breath. She was actually giddy and a little bit nervous of what was going to happen. She never had seen or even experienced something like this before, but she was hoping that it would feel beautiful.

"How are you doing young lady?" the healer removed her mask from her mouth to show Luna her tired smile, and Luna returned them with a lovelier one. "Are you ready?" She added, picking up her wand from her hospital robe and stood next to Luna's cot.

Draco feels a little bit uneasy as the healer raises Luna's dress up to the lower part of her breasts. He would admit, ever since he knew about Luna's pregnancy, he never wanted anyone to ever touch Luna's skin ever; especially her tummy. He feels as if it was just meant for the both of them. As selfish as his reason was, he claims that they were the ones who created the child, so therefor, they were the only ones who were allowed to touch the child's shelter.

"This will make you feel uneasy for a while" the healer broke Draco from his thoughts, making him glance back to Luna's tummy and to squeeze the girl's hand back. He watches as the healer raised her wand and pointed it to Luna's tummy. 1"Sentio Aperio" she murmured the spell from her lips, and soon, there was a blue gel coming from the tip of her wand.

Luna yanked his hand to pull him closer to her. His eyes went wide as he panicked, worrying that there might be something that's hurting. "cold" she whispers to Draco, giggling as the healer placed her hand to rub the gel on her sensitive skin.

As soon as the hand stopped it's rubbing, the healer placed a machine to her skin, sliding it up and down gently to her tummy. There was a sound of fast thud, thud and a swish and splash echoing around the , a smile appeared efortlessly to his face. As he bowed down to Luna, she smiles back at him with a tear fell down to her cheek. They didn't need to know, somehow, they know that the sounds were created by their baby.

"And here's the baby" The graphic started with a blur, but then, it slowly readjusted itself. One by one he points out the shapes and lines that he saw, and soon, it finally reached to him that the shapes formed a baby. He chuckled and turned his head to Luna, who was staring with awe towards the screen. "Our baby" Luna whispers. She was hypnotized with the beauty of having a child. She feels something unexplainable as she let her tears fall freely from her eyes, the happiness and the feeling of hopefulness made her have hope towards everything that's happening around her.

The couple stared at the monitor, taking everything in, clearly inlove with the baby that's been moving inside Luna's tummy.

Luna lowered her eyes to look at her baby fully. She was about to end looking but something had just caught her eyes. "Draco?"

"Yes love?"

"I believe that the baby's not a he"

Sentio Aperio is a made up spell. It consists of I feel and appear. By the way, the information about what happened to Luna n Chapter 35 is from a site in google.
