A/N: Ok so here we are, another chapter. I thought that I would upload another today to get back into the swing of things, I won't always upload this quick but I'll try to upload at least twice a week. But seeing as I've got about 5 written already, I thought you all deserved a quick update. Thank you to everyone eho reviewed and favourited etc. Especially the one reader who literally read it 5 minutes after I uploaded. I was still working on the computer, saving everything and editing my profile and it popped up.

Disclaimer: Not mine I assure you, I'd be rich if it was.

Trouble in the Sweet Shop

Chapter 15

It was 5 o'clock in the evening and Draco had finally finished for the day. For the past few weeks he had been trying to find as many loyal and trustworthy employees to help with his business as possible. He and Hermione had sat and talked about how she wanted to stay with their child instead of work, at least for a year and he was happy with this arrangement. He had also decided to spend as much time with his new family as possible and was taking as much time as he could before the baby was born to help stabilise his business, employing new people so his work load was less. He had finally finished interviewing everyone and was now faced with the decision of who to pick.

All he wanted to do on this stressful day was go home, have some food and relax. It's fair to say Draco Malfoy was exhausted. After flooing into the living room he found it oddly quiet. Since Hermione had quit work, he would always have a meal prepared upon his arrival an he loved coming home to her. Today was different, no smell of food, no sound of Hermione; and for her to go out at this time was unusual. He set down all of his work and walked out of the living room, into the hallway, where at the bottom of the stairs he saw a lifeless and bloodied Hermione.

"No No No...Hermione?" He rushed over to her, not knowing whether to move her or call for help first. He felt her wrist, a pulse was still present. Relief swept over him, then he rested his hand on her stomach, no movement. Nothing. More panic came and he ran to the fireplace, throwing in the powder and sticking his head in, he notified St. Mungos and in a matter of minutes, 3 Healers came rushing out where they were led to a still unconscious Hermione.

Minutes had passed since they took Hermione to St Mungos, Draco was sitting head in his hands in the waiting area, tears rolling down his face. How long had she been like that? What if the baby is not OK? He couldn't think straight, he had to be given a potion to calm him down and the healers notified Hermione's parents of her accident.

After another minute the Healer came from her room, Draco stood.

"Mr Malfoy, Miss Granger had a fall and hit her head knocking her unconscious for some time, at this time the baby because distressed and we are worried of the outcome, so we taking her in to deliver the baby. As she is not strong enough we will have to remove the baby ourselves."

"Will they be OK? It won't harm her will it?" Draco couldn't concentrate and was shaking, how could he lose her now, he had only really just found her.

"The procedure should go fine, it has been done many times. You are able to come into the room as you would in a normal birth. Miss Granger is awake now, if not a little groggy and is aware of what is about to happen. Before we start, would you like to talk to her?" Draco nodded and was escorted into the room, where he was left with Hermione. He walked straight over to her and kissed her on the head.

"Are you ok?" She smiled, looking at the tracks down his face, she had never seen his cry before.

"I am now, I just hope the little one is" Obvious pain was in her eyes as they began to well up.

"What if he's hurt Draco, what if I hurt him when I fell and he's not going to be alright? I'll never forgive myself..."

"Shh, everything will be ok. Lets just get our baby out so we can start our life ok?" She nodded and he gave her a lingering kiss before she was swept away to be prepped for the birth.

There was so much blood, and the time was ticking away. Draco honestly had no idea what was going on, the anticipation was horrible, he held onto Hermione's hand, who was awake but had been given a potion to not feel any pain.

"...Here he is" The Healer raised a very messy bundle in the air for both to see and a scream was heard from the tiny baby, he was soon whisked away and cleaned up.

"boy?" Draco asked, speechless from seeing his small child.

"That's right a little boy" The healer handed the small child to Hermione, who couldn't stop smiling and looking down at him, she kissed him on the head where a small tuft of blonde hair was.

"Is he ok?"

"He's fine, just a little smaller but this little one's a fighter"

Hermione had been moved back to her room now, clean and tired from the days events. The little bundle had also been moved into a small cot right next to her bed. Draco was leaning over and staring in awe at him.

"I want his name to be unique, something that people will remember, like Draco is" Hermione was laying down, considering names for the little one.

"Draco Junior" Draco offered in joke.

"No way, I'm not having a little DJ"

"Fine then Scorpious?" Draco said whilst picking up the baby and holding him close.

"Scorpious...Scorpious Draco Malfoy. I like it, I like it a lot actually." Hermione smiled and looked at the two men in her life. She was a mother now and that was all that mattered. Harry and Ron no longer mattered, she loved them once but she had finally realised that when they found out about Draco and Scorpious, they wouldn't accept them, they may actually hate them, Draco for sure but she couldn't have them hating her baby. Not for who his father was.

From that moment on, she no longer cared what they thought, she no longer wanted to see them. She had spent the most important months of her life without them, she didn't need them at all. All she needed was Draco and Scorpious.

A/N: I hope you enjoy this chapter. I want to speed up this memory now because I have other plans for this story, it's not just about how Hermione and Draco got together but I have enjoyed writing this part a lot. I'm excited to write the rest of the plot now.

Thanks to everyone who read and took their time to review.
