Winter had come and gone rather quickly it had seemed. Aria greatly missed the very cold nights. She had loved to just be naked and wrap herself up in warm blankets and cuddle up near any and every fireplace in the Manor and just bask in the feel of the soft blanket against her skin. She had loved even more, making love to Lucius during every available minute they had together, which was a lot, since Lucius and Aria had both been taking a break from any work related responsibilities during her pregnancy to just focus on each other.

It seemed as if every day and through the nights the two of them just kissed, touched and loved each other; wrapped up in soft blankets, their naked bodies providing incredible warmth to each other. The winter time had been very peaceful and special for both of the lovers.

Now it was the middle of Spring, April to be exact. Aria was now eight months pregnant and while she had been still enjoying it, it had definitely been getting more and more intense; sometimes good intense and sometimes bad. The bad parts were that she was definitely getting bigger in her stomach and it was making sleeping quite uncomfortable. The only part of her that had grown was her belly, and she was thankful for her good genes for that, but still, it was rather heavy growing another human inside of her!

The good intense parts were that she could feel that there was something definitely special…something important…about this pregnancy. She had obviously only ever been pregnant the one time but she could feel deep down in her soul that because her and Lucius had conceived this baby in the past, when true love was first created between their past soulmate selves, that the magic that this baby had would be incredible.

Aria couldn't quite explain what she was feeling. It was almost as if the magic she had within her was becoming too much to contain. It was similar to what she had felt when she had battled Narcissa the previous New Years, during the Minister of Magic's New Years Eve ball. The magic and power she had felt that night was exactly what she was feeling now; like all of her powers were all consuming her and she felt as if she may burst. In her belly where her baby grew she felt not only the constant kicking and moving of her healthy baby, but she also felt a sort of buzzing of energy, like her stomach was constantly vibrating with power as well. The last aspect that had been noticeable during this last month of her pregnancy was that her skin had a soft brightness to it, the light concentrated in the center of her stomach at her bellybutton. It was exactly how her skin looked during those special, magical nights of the year or whenever the couple used the Lumos Interius spell to light up from within, only now it was all of the time. She wasn't blindingly bright, but her skin was definitely glowing a slight golden glow. Whenever she walked around the Manor or the gardens, Lucius would always comment how she looked like an ethereal spirit or angel, wandering the halls and grounds of Malfoy Manor.

Lucius had not only noticed the changes within and outside of his wife, but they had also openly talked about what she was feeling too. As much as Aria had assured him that she was okay and feeling normal, besides the increased feeling of power, Lucius was of course still concerned. This time not so much for the baby, but for Aria herself. If this baby was indeed an extremely magical being, he didn't want it to take a toll on Aria for carrying it within her. He had noticed himself during the times he opened up their mental connection that the beautiful, magical sounds he heard from the baby inside were getting louder and more complex. At first it had been just a whooshing type sound, but now it was much louder and he often heard noises that reminded him of little bells or chimes, still such a beautiful sound.

Although everything seemed to be okay, he had called the Witch Doctor who had been seeing Aria since the beginning of her pregnancy to examine her weekly, to see how the baby was doing but also Aria. Each time the doctor checked in on Aria she had let them know that everything looked normal and healthy. However, she had looked quite interested in the fact that Aria's skin was outwardly and constantly glowing now. She knew the soul mate legend was true about the couple, but the constant aspect of Aria's glow was a mystery to all of them, and they all knew it was because of the baby. Lucius and Aria had made the decision to also tell the doctor about their Time Travel, and that the baby was conceived in the past. Much like Draco's reaction to the story, the doctor looked at the two as if she couldn't quite believe her ears.

"Have you ever come across a couple that had conceived a child in another time?" Lucius had asked with a slight furrow of concern in his brow.

"No. Never," said the doctor with certainty.

"Do you think it will be ok?" Aria asked, holding onto Lucius' hand with slight worry.

"I cannot say…" said the witch. "You seem to be healthy…as does the baby," the doctor said as she scanned over Aria's belly with her wand for the second time that visit. "But call me the instant you feel not okay."

Aria and Lucius both nodded as they held hands steadfastly.

Since that visit from the doctor, a few more weeks had gone by and Aria still felt the magic within her boiling to the surface. Anytime she had performed any magic, even simple spells, her wand seemed to explode with a powerful force that often left her stunned. Sometimes she even thought she saw through her hands little sparks of power beginning to come out of her every once in a while, especially when her emotions or her feelings were in over-drive….and of course that often happened when her and Lucius were intimate.

One night Aria and Lucius were back at it again. Lucius had been sitting in one of the chairs in front of the fire place in their master bedroom reading a book, a glass of whisky on the table next to him. Aria had been taking a nice, warm bath and had come out of the bathroom after a bit, naked, wet, and as usual, rather in the mood for Lucius.

Lucius had grown hard at seeing her luscious naked body walking towards him when she stepped into the room, had gotten aroused at her pregnant shape immediately. His grey eyes had sparked in the light of the fire as Aria sauntered over to him and he quickly put his glass of whisky and his book down to give her his undivided attention.

"Well hello my Goddess," he said with his smooth as honey voice.

"Hello Master," she said with a smirk as she kneeled down on her knees in front of him, her green eyes looking up at him with extreme need.

Lucius raised his eyebrow at her use of the word Master. It aroused him so, and he became more excited when he saw her eyes dart down to where his hard cock was straining in his silk lounge pants.

Lucius quickly untied his pants and let his cock spring out, as he grabbed it firmly in his hand, and gave it a few rubs. "Is this what you want my love?" He asked, as he tilted her chin up to look at him with his finger on his other hand.

Aria practically salivated. She wanted to taste him so bad. "Mhm," she said, her green eyes looking back down to his cock. She immediately leaned her head down to take him into her mouth, as he guided it in with his hand that had been stroking himself.

The second Lucius felt her mouth engulf him, he breathed out a long sigh of pleasure and shut his eyes as he rested his head on the back of the chair. "Ahh that's a good girl," he praised her as she began swirling her tongue around and around his cock in divine circles, as one of her small hands pumped him at the same time.

"Mmmmm" she moaned, the vibrations of it causing Lucius' cock to twitch in her mouth at the feeling of it.

Lucius continued enjoying the sensations she was giving him and one of his hands reached down so he could slightly grab her long blond hair in his hand, almost so he could brace himself against the immense pleasure he was feeling. As for Aria, she absolutely adored tasting him and loving him in such a way. She loved him so much, with all of her heart, and she loved being able to give him so much pleasure. With that thought in her mind she sped up her ministrations, her head bobbing up and down a bit faster, her tongue swirling around him with a bit more pressure. She loved hearing Lucius' breath and moaning beginning to speed up here and there and she heard him slightly groan out "fuck" as he could barely contain himself.

Lucius looked down at his gorgeous angel, the light of the fire causing her golden hair and skin to have a romantic amber colored glow. He loved seeing her full, luscious lips sucking his cock so perfectly, and of course he couldn't help but stare at her full breasts and beautiful bump of her belly. She was absolutely and stunningly perfect to him. And so as he grabbed her hair in his hand a bit tighter, he felt his orgasm coming swiftly and urgently and as he exhaled a pleasurable moan and sound of release he came into her mouth, his warm essence flowing down her throat. She moaned herself at tasting his pureness and his complete self, and she took him so perfectly, not a drop spilling out of her mouth as she consumed in all of him.

"Oh you are such a good girl, my love. Such a good, good girl," Lucius said through deep sighs.

Aria looked up at him with shining green eyes of love and slightly licked her lips, as she rested her head against his knee, patiently waiting for him to come down from his high.

Of course Lucius would never leave her without receiving her own pleasure…not in a million years. And so as he composed himself after feeling such nirvana, he grabbed her by her hands and helped her up off of her knees, and briefly held her in close to his body as he whispered in her ear.
"Now it's your turn," he said softly as he caressed her back as he held her close.

Aria's skin broke out into gooseflesh and she grabbed his hand once more as he led her over to their bed and laid her down. She looked up at him, a gorgeous smirk gracing his beautiful face as he stared down at his naked woman sprawled out on the bed for him, legs already open in waiting. Lucius couldn't wait to taste her and so he quickly removed his shirt so that he was now fully naked and immediately climbed onto the bed to hover briefly over her as he kissed his way down her body until his face was right at her soft, wet entrance.

"Heaven," he said before he gently kissed her soft lower lips, before fully placing his tongue over her extremely sensitive clit.

Lucius then worked his magic upon her with his mouth, just as she had done to him. She tasted heavenly as usual. Her skin still warm from the bath she had taken and Lucius felt as if he couldn't get enough of her no matter how much he went down on her. Aria herself was writhing with pleasure at Lucius' motions with his tongue as it swirled around and around her clit and then sometimes went a bit in and out of her entrance, as if he was fucking her with his tongue.

Lucius had a good hold of her outer thighs as he was doing this but soon his hands snaked a bit more up her body to rest tenderly against the bump of her belly, the warmth of his hands radiating through her skin. He rubbed his hands sweetly against her as his motions with his tongue suddenly became very gentle and slow, as he was taking his time with her.

The slowness of the way in which he was eating her out was actually turning her on more than if he was to be going very fast, as she could feel every single inch that his tongue was caressing, around and in her. Her hands clung to the sheets as her pleasure grew and grew.

"Lucius my love," she panted out, her breathing becoming heavy and her eyesight becoming a bit fuzzy.

"Mhmm?" He hummed against her wet folds, as if teasing her into telling him what she was feeling.

"It feels so good," she moaned, her hands clutching even tighter to the sheets, as she felt his tongue then flick slowly back and forth over her clit.

"Mmmm," was all he could say as his mouth continued working her into a frenzy.

Soon enough she felt her inner walls beginning to contract and then in one epic moment of bliss, she came all over her gorgeous husband's mouth, as she cried out into the room of how good it felt and how much she loved him.

After making her come so intensely, Lucius was incredibly hard again, and this time he wanted to be inside of her so badly. After she caught her breath, Lucius smirked down at her with a silver glint in his eye.

"On all fours my sexy girl," he commanded of her.

Aria of course obeyed his desire and slowly got herself up into position, on her knees, her supple bottom facing him and her aching pussy ready.

Lucius waisted no time at all, he needed to have her so badly. He grabbed her by the hips and thrust his cock forward into her, throwing his head back in pleasure at the feel of her.

"Yes…yes…" he said through clenched teeth as he quickly and hardly pounded into her from behind.

Aria braced herself against the powerful thrusts of Lucius. It felt so good to get fucked right after coming so hard from when he went down on her, and as usual, every time with him always felt like the first. He was always so big and she was always so tight and they were two perfect puzzle pieces fitting together whenever they made love.

Lucius had lost himself in how good she had felt and momentarily forgot his wife was in fact 8 months pregnant, and so he quickly went from fast and rough to slow and gentle in his thrusts. He knew he hadn't hurt her, but he wanted to make sure she was comfortable and enjoying it as much as he was.

As soon as he slowed down, he reveled in Aria's little mewls and coos of delight as he fucked her gently. In this way too he was able to get a sublime view of his large cock slowly going in and out of her from behind, and it was incredibly arousing to have such a view.

Lucius loved her like that for quite a while. He could have come ages ago, but luckily he was very practiced and restrained with himself when it came to sex and he was able to hold back his pleasure for as long as needed to make sure that she was able to come again for the second time. Her orgasm was intense and deep as she again clung to the sheets and cried out as her second orgasm hit her.

"Good girl," he had whispered in a strained voice, as he held back for a few more thrusts of his own before he came deep within her with his second orgasm of the night as well.

As soon as he had emptied himself into her and removed himself from her, Aria immediately laid down on her side as she closed her eyes in complete satisfaction; her full lips curling up at the edges with a content smile.

Lucius spooned her from behind and breathed in her concentrated scent and smiled himself too, as he wrapped his right arm around her.

"I hope I didn't go too rough on you," he whispered into her ear.

"Never," she smiled, as she backed up more closely into him, so that their bodies were almost one again as she adored the feeling of his warmth.

"Good," he said happily, his hand resting on her stomach and closing his eyes.

After about five minutes or so, he felt very strong little kicks underneath his hand, and rubbed a bit over her belly. "Hello little one," he said softly.

Aria put her hand over Lucius' and smiled before both of them drifted off into a perfectly blissful sleep.

Two weeks later, Aria was walking in the Manor gardens, enjoying the bustling flora and fauna of spring time. She enjoyed going on walks lately, as her body now constantly felt as if it was about to combust. The growing increase of the power she felt flow within her was beginning to become almost unbearably overwhelming. When she had thought she had imagined little sparks of magic had been emanating from her hands and skin due to her building power inside, it actually turned out to be true, and more than ever in fact. Sometimes too during the past few weeks, she had been experiencing some pain for the first time in her pregnancy. Whenever she felt that strong force within her, she often experienced a brief moment of crippling pain in her lower belly that would quickly go away after a brief, shocking second.

Since Aria's doctor had now been coming to check on her weekly, the doctor hadn't seemed too concerned about the pain, or minor contractions, as she had called them; however she did seem to be more concerned with Aria's ever increasing power that she was describing within herself. The doctor had predicted that since the baby had been conceived during such a profound moment in time, and the fact that its two parents were rather powerful magical folk themselves, that this baby's power might be causing Aria's body a bit of harm, having to contain something so magical. The doctor of course wasn't certain, as she had never had seen a pregnancy quite so special before, but the doctor did warn Aria and Lucius to call her if anything were to begin happening uncontrollably in terms of pain, or of course the start of her labor.

And so as Aria walked slowly to her own private garden Lucius had made for her the year prior, she began to feel the little pangs of pain she had been feeling throughout the past weeks. She didn't want to believe what the doctor had said, that her baby was causing her body some stress and damage with its strong powers, but she couldn't help but get a bit nervous that it was happening again.

"Shhhh," she said as she put her hands on her belly, as if willing everything to be ok…as if she was comforting her baby as if it was already out in the world.

Aria's hands sparked a bit, as the power of her baby and her own magic increased even more, causing her to wince. It felt like her whole body was beginning to come under pressure, like a cannon ready to explode.

To try and relax herself she sat down in the middle of her beautiful private garden, and just closed her eyes and breathed deeply as she listened to the sound of the buzzing bees and butterflies and of the fountain with the golden angel.

Her meditative state helped a bit in calming her nerves, but the pain she felt which usually faded after a minute or so was still present and slowly growing more and more noticeable. Perhaps she should have taken Lucius with her on her walk. He had been reading in the library, and she had gone for a walk on her own. He usually didn't like her to go anywhere on her own, but she had figured a walk in her own gardens wouldn't hurt…but now she wished he was here.

Aria tried breathing in and out deeply some more for a few minutes, but the pain in her lower belly and pelvis area was becoming more pressurized and more intense. She tried rubbing her stomach, like a massage, with her fingertips, but it wasn't helping at all.

All of a sudden a huge stab of pain hit her right in the center, as if right in her bellybutton.

"AHHH," she cried out and doubled over herself, so that her upper body was curled up inward.

Her eyes were watering from the pain, and she noticed that through the thin layer of her white shirt, her skin was glowing even more brightly then usual. She lifted up her shirt quickly to reveal her perfect round belly and was shocked to see that the golden light that had been gently glimmering around her bellybutton these passed few weeks, was now extremely bright and pulsating. It would have been beautiful to behold, but another sharp stab of pain made Aria double over in agony again as she dug her hands into the grass, her nails scraping the soft earth, forgetting everything else but the pain she felt. She instantly knew…it was time…it was happening..

She started to panic though. She had no way of getting back inside or getting to Lucius. There was no way she could apparate, not in her condition now, and there was no way he would hear her cries all the way out in her secret garden. She started to cry, not only because of the pain, but because she was now having visions of herself having to give birth out here alone, with no one around. How could she have been so stupid to have gone on a walk alone?!

Lucius had been inside reading. He had been very much aware that he hadn't seen or heard his precious wife in about an hour or so, as he thought she had been upstairs in their bedroom, or in the nursery getting the last few small things prepared, as she had been "nesting" for the past few weeks. However the Manor just seemed too quiet. And he became instantly on edge.

He didn't have to wonder where she was for quite longer, as in an instant he immediately got that feeling he sometimes got whenever Aria was in trouble or needed him. He had gotten the feeling two other times before. The time they first met and she had been attacked by Paolo and the time she had been poisoned by Narcissa and had been taken to St. Mungos. Feeling that feeling again now, his heart sank to the pit of the stomach because not only was he in fear for Aria, but now also his baby.

As with the other times, his body just knew exactly where to apparate to, and so, trusting in the magic of his bond with his soulmate, he immediately apparated straight to where she was in her garden.

His eyes instantly fell upon Aria, laying on the ground in the fetal position, clutching to her stomach; her stomach which was glowing intensely much to his surprise. It wasn't yet Beltane, that was to be the next day, and so he knew it wasn't their normal soul mate glow that they often got on special days. And despite Aria having had a slightly golden aura around her lately, he knew this was different. He knew in his heart, just as Aria had, that this was the moment. The baby was coming.

"My love!" Lucius shouted out as he ran over to her and scooped her up into his arms. She had tears streaming down her face and her skin was quite flushed, her cheeks were a very rosy pink.

"Lucius…Lucius!" She cried as she clung to his hands with her own so tightly her knuckles were turning white.

"I'm here! Don't worry I'm here!" He said as he stood up with her still in his arms.

"The baby…it's coming" she said as she let out another cry of pain, the light in her stomach pulsing with her contraction. "AHHH!"

Lucius' heart turned to ice at hearing her in so much pain. He knew he couldn't apparate with her, not with her being in such a delicate state. He knew he had to get her home, and so with a strength and a speed he didn't know he could ever possess he carried her in his arms all the way from the garden back through the expansive grounds and finally back into the Manor. He even managed to carry her up the stairs and into their bedroom where he laid her gently down upon the soft mattress and blankets. With all of his adrenaline and worry, he hadn't even noticed the weight of carrying a human being that far across the massive grounds of Malfoy Manor.

Aria was screaming again in pain, as she clutched to her stomach. Lucius held onto her hand for as long as he could but he knew he needed to get the doctor immediately. And so when her screaming abated again, he sent word by the Floo system, and within 10 minutes the doctor had arrived.

The instant she arrived, the small older witch took one look at Aria, curled up on the bed with her surprising glowing stomach, and then looked back at Lucius with wide eyes. "It's time Mr. Malfoy. Your baby is on the way."

"Yes," Lucius said, already knowing that fact as he nodded his head. He saw the witch look at Aria, down to her glowing pulsing stomach with a look of concern in her eyes. His heart turned to ice again. He didn't like that look…not one bit. No matter what, he would make sure Aria got through this; both her and the baby.

He looked fiercely back at the medical witch and grabbed her firmly by her shoulder so that she would look back at him.

"You will get my wife and child through this," he said, his silver eyes glinting with warning.

"Mr. Malfoy, you can never predict such-" she began to say.

"You WILL get my love through this. That's an order," he said through a clenched jaw. And with that he went immediately to his wife's side and held her in his arms as she screamed in pain yet again.

This would be the longest night of his life.
