A/N: Hey! I know it's been ages since I last updated but I had a massive case of writer's block and was getting used to life, which sucks by the way. Ever felt like you don't have any like minded people you can talk to? But this week I sat down and read through my entire story so far and finally wrote more. I have about 5 chapters prepared and working on more so here's the next one.

Disclaimer: I have not missed writing this at all, once again I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS, strictly the plot is mine!

Trouble At The Sweet Shop

Chapter 14

At almost 8 months pregnant, Hermione was finding it hard to get around, however she was finally happy. She and Draco had brought a house and were currently decorating it ready for when the baby arrives. Soon after reconciling with Draco she had told her parents who were a little disappointed but loved her all the same. Draco had also informed his parents, Narcissa accepted the news and was happy to have gained a daughter and grandchild. However Lucius was a completely different reaction. Draco had written to his father explaining how he had fallen in love with a muggle born and how they were to have a child. He didn't receive a response and whenever Narcissa tried to contact Lucius, he told her he no longer had a son. Hermione finally felt safe around Malfoy Manor now that Lucius was in Azkaban.

Hermione walked into the nursery which had been finished a week ago. She ran her hand along the cream walls and over the white cot ready for her child. There was a sun and cartoon animals painted along the wall in pastel colours, mainly yellows and browns. Nothing to bright to scare or confuse the baby. She had been spending a lot of time here lately, she had left work now. Just quit her job, it was a on the spot decision. For the time being she wanted to be a stay at home mother and Draco had accepted the idea. He was earning enough to keep the family more than comfortable. Draco was at work, employing new people to take are of the business. All part of his plan to spend more time with the family.

Hermione had sat on the rocking chair in the corner, thinking of how in a months time, she will be a full time mummy and she was still a teenager. She was just about to drift off into a peaceful sleep when she heard tapping a the window. Looking over she noticed a white owl; Hedwig. She hadn't seen her in months, Panic swept over the young girl, had something happened to Harry or Ron?

She opened the window and read the letter...

Dear Hermione,

Sorry we haven't wrote in months, it wasn't safe as we were undercover, everything is clear now so onto the next task at hand. I hope everything is good back home, I am missing you like crazy and cannot wait to see you again. Being apart has made me realise I need you and I will wait for you. Hopefully we shouldn't be long here and when we return I want you to make me a happy man and marry me. What do you say?

I know this is only a quick letter but I will owl again in the nest week. Harry says Hi.

Think about my question. I love you

Ron (and Harry)

She sat there in silence, if only Ron could see her now, sitting in her sweats, 8 months pregnant. A feeling of guilt swept over her, she had not told them of her new life. She was happier than ever, she had an amazing boyfriend and a baby on the way. She was living in a big house and preparing for her new life, she hadn't even given a thought to Ron and Harry. They still thought she was the same bookworm, working in St.. Mungos, living the simple life and missing them back. And Ron, how could she break the news that she was with someone and pregnant with their baby, let along telling him it is Malfoy?

Walking into their study she pulled out some parchment and ink and began...

Dear Harry and Ron,

Long time no speak,it's been a weird few months and I'm glad you've owled, there are some things I need to tell you and I'm afraid you will not like them.

First of all, Ron. How can I break my best friends heart? You may think me heartless but what I told you when you left still stands, you need to stop waiting and find a nice girl and be happy. When you left I told you that it may be years before we see each other and that whilst we are away we cannot stay together, it wouldn't be fair or right. I don't want you to wait, I want you to move on, we were only together a short while and I do not want our friendship to be harmed because of this relationship that we have not had time to work on.

You need to move on Ron, mainly because I have. I have found someone who makes me happy and has been not only a best friend but a boyfriend, this is not how I wanted to tell you, but I have no other choice, I would prefer to tell you to your face and explain. You know him and please understand we love each other and have forgiven each other of the past, but I am dating Draco Malfoy.

It is breaking my heart to tell you but we are also expecting a baby, I am 8 months pregnant. I should have told you sooner but I was scared. Please forgive me?

Ron, I know you had hopes and dreams of us being together but it was never meant to be. I thought I had found my true love in you, but you leaving has showed me that we were destined to be nothing but friends. I don't want you to blame you leaving as a result of us not working because we still would have never had worked and by that time we would have caused too much damage to our friendship. I can't tell you that I'm sorry because I need to thank you for helping me find my soul mate.

I am truly very happy, happier than I have been in ages. My only wish is that you will accept my life now, I wish you were here. It's the most incredible feeling having a child inside me, needing me to take care of it. I don't know if it's a boy or girl yet but I'm not too bothered as long as he/she is healthy. I hope to hear from you soon.

Stay safe.

Hermione x

She folded the letter and left it on the desk, as Hedwig had left, she would have to wait for Draco's owl to return home. Deciding on making a start on dinner she left the room, heading for the stairs, she was crying, tears rolling down her eyes and blurring her vision from writing the letter. How could she be so selfish as to not tell her two best friends in the world that she was going o be a mother?

She was in hysterics, trying her hardest to think of a positive outcome of this situation, she knew as soon as Harry and Ron read that letter, it would be the end of their friendship, an end to all the years she has stood by them and fought. In their eyes she would be a traitor. She was in her own little world, fighting with herself and constantly fighting the tears that she missed the next step and went hurdling down the stairs.

A/N: Thank you to everyone who reads/reviews etc. It really makes me realise what I'm meant to do in life. I have so many passions and aspirations but this has made me so happy, writing and getting reviews makes me think this is the profession I want to do.

More in the next few days...Pinky Promise!

I would appreciate a review please?

Love Ya
