It was now Mrs. Cora Malfoy. We were able to keep it a secret for a good month before word got out. Now I was showing even more and had to have a body guard with me at all times. My father was still trying to get to my daughter. He knew he could change the prophecy and he was going to try his hardest to make that happen. My family would never be safe unless my father and mother were dead. I was now a month away from delivering. Draco was a nervous wreck not only because I was going to deliver soon, but the doctor was saying I was too small so I was forced to eat even more.
"You will go into the hospital on November 16th and you will have the baby. The entire wing will be locked down with a bunch of guards," Harry explained, passing the document to Draco. Draco picked it up and read over it quickly. "I'm confused; this is a week before Cora is due. This has to be dangerous,"
"I have already spoken to her doctor. The baby is going to be small but she will be ready to deliver,"
"Calla Malfoy," I whispered. Harry raised an eyebrow and Draco smiled. "That's her name. Calla, it means beautiful in Greek. We thought it fit,"
Harry smiled and nodded. I slowly got up from the table and let Draco speak to Harry privately. I wanted to finish some touches on Calla's room anyways. I climbed the stairs and walked down the hallway to the door that was the third on the right. The rest were just guest bedrooms and our bedroom was in the left wing while hers was in the right wing of the Manor. Our bedroom was the only in that wing. We even had our own little living room inside our bedroom, that's how big it was. Draco and I agreed that Calla would stay with us in our room for the first three months before we moved her to her very own room.
I stared at the oak door that Draco charmed to read her name whenever she opened it. I pushed it opened and smiled. The walls were painted a pale pink and her beautiful white crib that Narcissa brought was right in the middle. Her walk in closet was already filled with beautiful outfits that Narcissa also had brought. Narcissa was the perfect little grandmother, she was so excited. Lucius had already opened an account for her and had placed a good sum of money in it.
'Cora Narcissa Malfoy' was written in white on the pink walls. Her room was perfect.
"I thought I would find you here," I slowly turned around and saw Draco leaning against the door frame. "I just want her here already. I want all this drama to be over with already," I whispered rubbing my hand over her crib. I was getting tired of getting followed around by bodyguards.
"It will be. Your father will slip up or Blaise and we will get them. They aren't touching a hair on Calla's head. I'll make sure of that," He placed his hand over mine and placed his index finger on top of my diamond ring. "When I gave you that I made a promise, didn't I? Malfoys don't break promises and Calla will see that as she is growing up," I smiled and resting against him with my eyes closed.
I was happy to have Draco as mine.

It has been at least a four days till I am supposed to deliver and I was feeling weird. It felt like Calla had dropped down even further and she didn't seem to be kicking that much as she normally does. I was lying in bed and stared up at the ceiling. Draco was getting ready for bed and then suddenly a pain went through my entire body. I let out a gasp and held my stomach.
The pain didn't let up for about three minutes then it went away again. I stared at the clock and counted. I couldn't be in labor. I just couldn't be. Calla tonight is not a good time.
Four minutes went by before the pain started up again. This time it felt even worse. "Draco!" The bathroom door slammed open and he rushed to my side. "What is it?"
"You don't happen to know what labor feels like, do you." I asked through greeting my teeth together in pain. He just sort of stared out of me before I let out a groan grabbing my stomach. "Calla is coming! Oh Merlin! What do I do, Cora?" His face paled over and he jumped up grabbing the bag we have had pack encase she came early. Well, here she comes!
"I'll owl Potter! Breath honey," Draco took off out of the room and I could hear him shouting at the house-elves. One appeared at the end of the bed with a wash cloth. It jumped onto the bed and began to dab the wash cloth over my face. I took a deep breath as the pain left again and leaned my head back.
"Breath, Mrs. Malfoy. Young Miss will be fine! Master Malfoy is contacting Mister Potter, right now," I really wanted to throw that house-elf out the window. Calla was too early and they were saying how small she was. Will she really be okay? I don't want to lose her.
Draco dashed back into the room and handed the bag off to the house-elf. "Potter is going to meet us there! Okay, can you walk? We are going to have to floo there," I nodded and pulled myself up from the bed. Draco wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to his office where our floo powder was. He led me into the fireplace and told the house-elf to make sure everything was ready before they came home. I took a deep breath as Draco dropped the floo powder onto the ground.
I closed my eyes tight and when I reopened my eyes we were in the lobby of St. Mugos. Just as another wave pain went through my body. "Mrs. Malfoy is here!" Harry yelled, two healers raced towards me with a wheelchair. The wheel me off and Draco tried to follow.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy but we need to get settle then you will be allowed back," Draco began to open his mouth but the door was slammed shut right in his face. Draco stumbled backwards and growled. How dare they? He was Draco Malfoy! And that was his wife! His wife that was in early labor… The anger flew out of him and worry set in.
His wife and daughter could be in danger.
