(A/N: There's your angst.  That last chapter and the end of chapter 8.  By the way, for all flamers, I ask you to put it in a constructive way.  Not just "this sucks!"  That is very annoying.  I do appreciate your comments though!  In case you haven't noticed, I'm a big Roseanne fan, and Darlene was always my favorite character.)

Monday, August 19…

    It had been two weeks since that article came out, but Draco was still teeming with rage.  For the last two weeks, Draco has been searching every bar, tavern, and inn in the surrounding London area for Pansy.  So far, he seemed to have missed her by a minute at every place.  Ginny was beginning to worry.  Draco was coming home late almost every night, and was too upset to talk much.  That night, Ginny confronted him about it before they went to sleep.  "Draco will you give it up?  You're not going to find her.  It's like she's got some ESP and knows when you'll show up.  Please!  For my sake, will you stop going out everyday?"  Ginny pleaded.

    Draco sighed and answered.  "All right.  I'll try for the last time tomorrow, and if I can't find her then I'll give up.  Can I try for one more day?"

    "Yeah all right, but no more than that.  Got it?"  Draco nodded.  "Good.  Now good night."  Ginny laid down and fell asleep almost immediately.

    *You may have eluded me for the last 2 weeks Pansy, but I will find you eventually. *  Draco thought to himself.  He then laid down as well and fell into an uneasy sleep.

* * *The next day* * *

    "Back again eh, Mr. Malfoy?  Well she's not here.  Hasn't come in yet.  It's too early."  Tom the barkeeper of The Leaky Cauldron said.

    "I know it's early Tom, but I need something."  Draco said sitting down.  But before he could order anything, Harry just apparated in with a small pop.

    "Draco?  Where the hell have you been?  Ginny just went into labor!"  Harry practically shouted grabbing Draco's arm.

    "What?!  Where is she?"  Draco said going for the door to Diagon Alley.

    "She's at St. Mungo's.  Wait.  It'd be faster to apparate."  Harry said following him.

    "I can't apparate.  I didn't pass the test yet.  But that's beside the point.  How is she?  I mean she's not due until next month!"  They were outside now, and Draco had just flagged down the Knight Bus.

    "She's fine.  The doctor said it's more common for teen mother's children to be born prematurely."  Harry said.

    "Where yur destination be sirs?"  Stan Shunpike said welcoming them on the bus.

    "St. Mungo's hospital, and get there as fast as you can!"  Draco said.  The trip took about 10 minutes.  Draco rushed up to the front desk.  "Where's the maternity ward?"  He asked.

    "Oh another father-to-be huh?  Well it's on the first floor, in the Green Wing.  Down that hall, and to the left.  The walls are green.  You can't miss it."  The receptionist said.  Draco said a hurried thank you, and took off.

    When he got to the maternity ward waiting room, he spotted Hermione, Fred, George, and Ron.  Percy was pacing the room back and forth.  Draco also noticed Bill and Charlie were there.  "How's Ginny?  Is she ok, or what?" Draco asked.

    "Ginny's doing fine.  Her parents are in there, but she wants you there too."  Hermione said.  "Percy will you stop pacing?  You're going to wear a groove in the floor!"  Percy paused, stepped one step to the right and continued pacing.

    "What'd the doctor say?  Is the baby going to be all right?  I mean she's a month early!"  Draco said going for the door without waiting for an answer.  But a doctor came out first.

    "Ah you must be Ginny's husband Draco.  I'm Dr. Calvin."  He said shaking Draco's hand.  Draco was about to ask him about Ginny, but Dr. Calvin cut in.  "Yes I know what're you're going to ask me.  Ginny's doing just fine.  The contractions are coming in faster, but the baby appears to be as healthy as a premature baby can.  Her parents are in there with her right now, but she wants you."

    "Oh thank you.  But why is she having it now?  She's not supposed to be in labor until next month."  Draco asked.

    "Well it is more common for teenage mothers to have their children earlier then mothers at a later age.  But as far as I can tell, your child is going to be fine once it's out.  It's just going to be a little smaller then normal babies."  Dr. Calvin answered.

    Draco said thank you again, then went to Ginny's room.  Once he stepped into the room, he immediately started to apologize.  "I'm sorry, I had no idea you would go into labor now.  As soon as Harry got there, he wanted to apparate, but I couldn't yet, because I hadn't passed the test yet, so I had to take the Knight bus, and then the doctor had to tell me what's going on and-" But Ginny cut him off.

    "Draco will you calm down?  I'm fine!  I understand!  Now mom, dad?  Can you leave please?  I want to talk to Draco alone."

    "Yes…of course.  Arthur?  Come on."  Mrs. Weasley said and going out the door with Mr. Weasley following.

    "How are you feeling?  You need anything?"  Draco asked sitting on a chair next to the bed.

    "No, I'm fine Draco.  Unless you count the painful contractions I'm going through which I can do without, thank you very much."  Ginny said.

    "I don't think I want to know what you're going through."  Draco said giving a hopeful grin.  Ginny gave him a look that could kill.

    Two hours later, Ginny's contractions were getting closer and closer together until finally, the big one came.  "Good God get the doctor Draco!"  Ginny screamed.  Draco ran out of the room like greased lightning and was back in a flash with Dr. Calvin and a nurse.  Draco ran over to Ginny and told her to take his hand, which she did.  Draco keeled over from her crushing Kung fu death grip.  "Push Ginny!  That thing's not going to come out by itself!"  Dr. Calvin shouted.

    "You try pushing damn it!  Why didn't we go to Lamaze?"  (I think that's right) Ginny yelled out through clenched teeth.

(A/N: Now to save you from all the gory details, I'm skipping to when Ginny first hears the baby's cry.  If you really must know, basically Dr. Calvin keeps saying push, Draco is on the floor with pain from Ginny's grip, not to mention all the times Ginny said she wanted Draco dead.  The rest of the family is waiting anxiously outside the room)

    "You know, I think I'm having an idea of what you're going through right now."  Draco gasped trying but failing to break Ginny's grip.  Ginny just shouted "Shut Up!!"   

    "All right!  It's out!"  Dr. Calvin exclaimed joyfully.  Ginny and Draco then heard a baby crying and looked at where the doctor was handing the baby to the nurse.  After the nurse had cleaned it up, she handed it to Ginny.  "Congratulations, you are the parents of a beautiful boy."

    Ginny looked at the little thing wrapped in towels in her hands.  She noticed that it had the trademark red hair of a Weasley.  Draco also noticed this.  "I guess some things never change."

    But the weirdest thing was his eyes.  They were not silvery gray or brown.  They were golden.  "Now where do you suppose they came from?  Eyes aren't normally gold, are they doctor?"  Draco asked.

    Dr. Calvin looked at the baby's eyes.  "No, I've never seen gold eyes before.  Well this is a first for sure.  Now I'll need to know his name for the birth certificate."  He said then started writing down the other information.  Time of birth, 3:52pm, August 20, 2001.  Weight, 6 pounds, 11 ounces.  Eye color, gold.  Hair color, red.  Parents, Draco and Virginia Malfoy.

    Ginny and Draco both looked at each other and silently agreed.  Draco then said.  "We thought about this for months, and came to the conclusion of Darlene if it's a girl, or Jason if it's a boy.  And well, since it's a boy, we've chosen to name him Jason Tristen Malfoy."

    "Excellent name.  Well I'll leave you two alone with him for a while, then I want you to get some rest Ginny.  You've had a long day."  Dr. Calvin then left.

    "Hey, I just noticed something.  He has red hair, and gold eyes."  Draco said looking at him.  "Yeah so?"  Ginny answered.

    "That means he's destined to be in Gryffindor.  Oh boy.  The first Malfoy to break the chain."  Draco said glumly.

    "Better then Slytherin if you ask me."  Ginny said.  Then noticing Draco's look, she then added.  "Well some of them turn out good.  Like you for example."  Draco then embraced her in a loving kiss.

    He then whispered into her ear.  "Thank you Ginny.  You've made me the happiest man alive right now."

    Ginny smiled and answered.  "Just wait until we have to take care of him during toddler years, and you'll take that back."  But Draco knew she was joking.

(A/N: Ok now how did you like that?  I'm going to end this story with Harry and Hermione's wedding, but that's not until December.  First I'm going to write about Ginny and Draco having to cope with little Jason during the school year.  How do you like the name?  I thought adding Tristen as his middle name was great.  By the way, for reviews, I'd like you to say why you liked it, not just that you like it.  I hope that's not asking too much.)
