A/N: Hello my loves! Having a bit of Dramione this chapter. Hope you don't mind!
"Wait! But, we were told it would be nearly impossible. You're absolutely sure?" Draco Malfoy stood in disbelief, standing next to his now wife at St. Mungo's. They'd come back a day early from their honeymoon. He'd made her come to St. Mungo's after Hermione was ill for a few days and none of the usual remedies was helping. Now the Healer had said the words they'd longed to hear.
"I can do the spell again if you would like, but yes, I am 100% sure Mr. Malfoy. Mrs. Granger-Malfoy, you seem to be around the 12 week mark." Hermione reached for Draco's hand and pulled him close. Of course she had not even thought that they would be pregnant. Her menstrual cycle was all over the place due to the stress of the wedding and the lingering effects from the Cruciatus.
"You're going to be a daddy." She said with tears shining in her eyes. Draco kissed her soundly and mirrored her watery smile.
"And you're going to be a mummy, love. I told you it would happen for us. You never listen. Who's the know-it-all now, huh?" He kissed her again then helped her up from the table.
"Now, here are some prenatal potions for you to take. We'll set an appointment for 4 weeks from now to check your progress and test for gender, if you would like to know. Other than that, congratulations you two. Enjoy the ride." The Healer shook Draco's hand and walked them out to the lobby. They decided to have a dinner party to announce the news and headed home, hearts full of happiness and love.
clink, clink, clink*
The sound of Draco clinking his wand against his glass brought everyone's attention to the head of the table. "As you all know, my beautiful wife and I just got back from a nice, relaxing honeymoon. What you don't know is that our trip was cut short by a day because Hermione got very ill." He paused while his mother and father asked Hermione if she was feeling better.
"Yes, yes, she perfectly fine. Well, that's not entirely accurate.There is still something going on with Hermione, but we couldn't be more thrilled." At that Hermione stood up and joined him at his side, smiling endearingly at him.
At the same time, they exclaimed, "We're pregnant!" Everyone got up and starting congratulating them. Poor Lucius just about fell over in his chair from jumping up so quickly.
"A grandchild! Oh, Cissy! We're going to be grandparents!" Narcissa was crying tears of joy as she hugged Draco and Lucius hugged Hermione then they switched. "Congratulations, son." He mumbled into Draco's hair as he bear-hugged him.
"I told you, Harry! Didn't I say it?" Pansy was practically bouncing. Harry grinned at his wife and shook his head.
"Yup, you called it, babe." Just then the babies woke up. "Ahh, they're hungry. They sensed your excitement, Pans. I'll get Al, you get Lily." They excused themselves to take care of the twins while Jaime jumped into his Uncle Draco's arms.
"Uncle Draco! I'm so excited! A new cousin! Auntie Mione, do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" Jaime smiled at his Aunt and Uncle. He'd hoped and prayed that they would get the chance to be parents.
"Not yet, but we can find out in a few weeks. What do you think I'm going to have, Jaimster?" Hermione ruffled her nephew's already unruly her and giggled.
"Hmm," he put on his best "thinking" face, "I think it's a boy. Malfoy's always have boys, right Mr. Malfoy?" He turned to Lucius who then chuckled.
"Most of the time, Jaime. Most of the time." Lucius hugged his wife and whispered in her ear causing her to blush. "But my son surely has proven that change is good. I'm thinking it's time a Malfoy has a female first born, so I say my magnificent daughter-in-law is carrying my granddaughter." Lucius winked at Jaime and smiled at Draco and Hermione.
"Well, you want to tell them?" Hermione couldn't stop smiling ever since her appointment ended. The baby was growing strong and they found out the gender.
Draco hugged her to him and murmured in her hair, "Not yet. Let's just keep this to us for a while." They were happy with either gender. They knew this could quite possibly be their only child, so just as long as the baby was healthy, they were happy.
They went to lunch in Diagon Alley then apparated to Malfoy Manor and walked through the gardens. "Just imagine, in a few months we'll have a child of our own. I never thought this would be my life. I never thought that I would ever find true happiness until you gave me that chance. I love you, Granger."
Draco stopped and pull her into his arms. "I love you too, Malfoy." Hermione rest her head against her husband's chest and closed her eyes. The soothing sound of his heart beating bringing her so much peace. "We've got to think of a name for her, you know. And we're never going to hear the end of this from your father. You know how much he loves being right."
