A Wish Across the Stars
Lady Countryrose
Ch. 13
As time passed on by. Tom had been working on expanding the cave, while Hermione was forced to lay on the bed that he had made before. As Hermione was forced to lay in bed. The more her anger was building. She hated being bed.
Even though a small part of her was a very small voice. That sounded more like annoying whisper. Telling her that he was right to tell her to rest. Another part that annoyed her, was that she hadn't seen his human self for a while.
'He already got me knocked up. He couldn't be afraid of me being pregnant and all…'
She could even feel the heat of his fiery breath from where she sat. She took a deep breath, trying to calm down the building anger that she wants to use against him.
"Just isn't so far," she whispered with an edged hiss. The kind that would let most know that they were about to face a rath of a bare.
"For a stubborn know-it-all, bookworm," she heard his dragon voice calling out to her. "You are the most annoying WOMAN that I'VE the DISPLEASURE OF LOVING!"
"What the hell," she grouched out. "Why do I have to lay here and put UP with YOUR ROLYAL ARSE!"
After what seemed like hours. She felt the air within the dragon-dug-out-cave shift. Before she saw Tom making his way towards her. Seeing his blue-green tinted eyes glaring towards her. But she wasn't afraid. Knowing he wouldn't hurt her.
"You want something, Princess of Gryffindor," he asked with a slight annoyance in his voice. "I am trying to provide for our GROWING family, love!"
"You could at least pace yourself. Nine months does take a bit of time," she glared at him.
Tom started to laugh. Not the kind of laugh that made her shiver from where she laid. Like he knew things that she should at that moment.
"You don't know, do you," he laughed some more. "You're going to be pushing out dragon eggs soon! That is why I won't let you move around." His grin reminded her that he was still a dragon. For his canine teeth poked out of his lips.
"Wha...what...now," she asked in disbelief. Hermione was hoping that he was wrong. That it wasn't possible for her to be pushing out...big dragon eggs. "It...it's not...possible…"
Tom chuckled, as a puff of smoke came out of his lips. Making him more Devilish in nature that what he normally was. Tom shook his head. "I can't tell you how many...we will have. But Hermione, dragons mate for life and can only have one set amount of hatchlings...once in a lifetime. Otherwise the world would be overpopulated by dragons…"
Hermione shook her head. It made her wish that she had heard everything that she had heard about dragons from Ron. Because of his brother Charlie. But she never gave her friend any faith for what knowledge that he had learned.
"Oh," she managed to gasp out in fear and worry. Not knowing the true nightmare of motherhood that she would be facing.
"You...my witch," called Tom softly. As he made his way slowly towards her. "We...will face this...together. Like real parents…"
All Hermione could do was nod. Realizing for the first time that Tom was doing things to make it comfortable for her. Well, not just for her. But their growing family as well.
He gave her a light kiss upon her temple. Before he turned and walked away. "Rest...my sweat stubborn witch...and let me take care of you."
As Hermione laid back down upon...the nest that he had made for bed. Her racing thoughts were stilled. As tears leaked out of her eyes with the knowledge that she was going to be a mother….of dragons.
AN: Sorry everyone for the long waited chapter. I think I know what direction I'm taking this story now. Sorry that it wasn't long. But hope it was worthwhile.
