Hermione snuggled deeper into the soft down of the warm comforter, breathing in the spicy scent left by Draco on his pillow as she curled up with it. Even after all these years, the thought of her husband brought a smile to her face. The sun felt heavenly as its rays fell on her cheek, attempting to wake her fully. A sharp pain against her bladder brought her fully into consciousness. Grumbling, she rolled onto her side and maneuvered to the edge of the bed.

As she exited the bathroom, a delicious smell pulled her in the direction of their kitchen. Padding barefoot down the hall, she stopped in the doorway to admire the muscles of Draco's back as he cooked breakfast in just his pajama pants. She leaned against the jamb and wrapped her arms around her round belly. They'd been married for four years and were expecting their first child. She couldn't wait for the day to meet their son and to see him in his father's arms. She knew without a doubt that Draco would be a wonderful father.

The man in question turned to get something from the refrigerator when he noticed Hermione watching him. He smiled softly and walked over to gently place his hands on her stomach and kiss her gently.

"Morning, Mione."

"Good morning, love."

He took her arm and guided her to sit at the table. "Come on, off your feet now."

Once he made sure she was seated comfortably, he returned to the stove to finish up breakfast.

"Any plans for the day?"

"Your mum wanted to go shopping for the nursery," she replied. "Other than that, I figured we could spend a quiet day just relaxing. The weekend always goes too fast."

Draco laughed. "That it does. At least you only have another few weeks before you're relegated to desk duty." He placed a steaming cup of tea in front of her along with a plate full of eggs and bacon. He leaned down and kissed her forehead before making his own plate and sitting across the table.

Something wistful hit her in the chest as she gazed at her husband, silently thanking whatever higher power there was. Neither of their paths went in the direction that they'd originally set out upon but somehow ended up in this place and time. She couldn't imagine her life without Draco Malfoy—without all of the little things that made up their everyday lives. It was all of those little things that made each day worth waking up for.

O_o_O_o_O

I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth

But if it's true, it's you

It's you, they add up to

I'm in love with you

And all your little things

AN: I'm not going to lie, I struggled a little with this one because I wasn't super familiar with the Dramione ship, but I like how it came out. There's a cute story behind me panicking because mariescullen is my go-to friend for banner-making. I legit had a moment where I freaked out about having her as my recipient and wanting to a good job for her! I hope I succeeded!

I need to thank brierlynn03 for making such a beautiful banner for this story! It was very much appreciated! (It can be seen on the FAGE 13 FB page or on my AO3 account.)

And once again, I can never sing Chaya Sara's praises enough. She's an absolutely wonderful beta and teacher, even if my tenses are still a mess sometimes!
