Chapter twelve- Hello my baby.

Two months had passed and Hermione and Draco now lived in the wizarding community. Draco was training to be an Aurora. Hermione worked at the Ministry as a secretary for Fudge.

Draco lay in bed trying to block out the sound of Hermione retching in the bathroom. Finally dragging himself out of bed he walked over to their on suite bathroom.

"Draco go back to bed you have a long day of training ahead of you and-" Hermione leaned over the toilet again, but nothing came up. She lay on the floor with a damp cloth over her eyes.

"Hermione, how long did the doctor say this morning sickness would last?"

"Three months but she also said that some women have it till birth."

"And your mother?"

"She had it only for two months."

"Oh. Hermione I hate not being able to help you. Are you sure the doctor didn't want you to use magic?"

"Yes she said that it might harm the baby. She is the best wizarding doctor."

Draco picked Hermione off the floor and carried her to the bed.

"Now you stay there till you feel better I don't care if that means for the next two months or the next nine."

"But Draco I have to work. I have to do something."

"Hermione I can take care of us and any other person who comes into our family. So send a letter to Fudge say that you resign."

"But then what well I do during the day?"

"Why don't you redecorate the nursery?"

"Really!"

"Sure go to town."

"Thank you Draco."

"Ok, I'm going to have a shower and get ready for training. You go back to sleep."

"Yes sir" She muttered as he put the covers back over her. She snuggled deep into the comforter.

When Draco came out of the bathroom Hermione was out cold. He kissed her forehead and apparated to the training field.

One month later, In the late evening.

"Draco, I'm so craving water melon!"

"Hermione it's late November!"

"But Draco! Ooo and peanut butter and marble cheese sandwich."

"Now don't start drooling." Draco said pulling out his wand. A tray appeared and it was filled with pieces of watermelon and sandwiches.

"Thank you Dracie."

"Do you have to call me that?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, ok then."

Six months later

"Draco I think we should go to the hospital."

"Why?"

"My water just broke!"

"Oh my god!" Draco jumped up from his desk to see Hermione standing with her bag and had her coat on.

"Why didn't you come get me?"

"Well I had to clean up the mess and then I had to change and then I had to pack my bag like I had been meaning to do earlier."

"Hermione what do you think we have house-elves for?"

"Draco calm down. And drive me to the hospital."

"Ok, ok, ok." Draco was hyperventilating. Once he calmed down some he ran ove and lifted Hermione in his arms and carried her out to the car."

"Drive!" He said as he pointed hi wand to the hospital. "Atccio hospital."

The car speed away.

Ten hours later.

"Ok Hermione, push!" Said doctor Smartie.

"Arrg!"

"You can do it baby." Draco said kissing Hermione's head and holding her hand, Draco was amazed at the pressure she was putting on his hand.

"Garrr! Draco you ever do this to me again and I'll kill you!!"

"Don't worry all mother say that during the birthing process. Come on Hermione I can see ahead."

"Rrrrrrrr."

The screams of a baby filled the room.

"Come on one more good push Hermione and you'll be done."

Hermione pushed one last time and the baby was free along with the after birth.

"Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy you have a baby girl."

"Really. Let me see I need to see my baby." Hermione said with arms out reached.

The nurse brought over a little bundle in a pink blanket.

"What a beauty."

"So what should we name her?"

"Avalonione Serenity Malfoy."

"I like it."

"Let me go get a birth certificate." The doctor said and left.

**knock**

"Hermione, can we come in?" Harry and the Weasley's stood in the door way.

"Sure."

"Yes come see our new little jewel."

"I think some one is going to be a very spoiled little girl." Said Ginny, who had been able to visit for the weekend from Hogwarts.

Two days later and they were going home. Draco had gone an bought a car seat while Hermione was in the hospital.

They got home and the baby was screaming.

"Do babies always make that sound?"

"Only when they're hungry, need a new diper, want to be held or aren't feeling good."

"Oh."

Hermione bounced the baby in her arms and made cooing noses.

"Lets go show you your room." Hermione carried the baby up to the nursery, Draco fallowed behind.

 The walls of the big room were painted burgundy and a dark forest green, the walls also had gold and silver trimmings. Little dragons flew across the ceiling. A double four poster bed had been put in for went Hermione had to care for the babe and when the baby was older it would be her bed. A crib made of  matching oak stood n the middle of the room on the fake hippogriff rug. White mosquito netting fell from the ceiling to the floor around the bed. A rocking chair sat in the corner. A toy box and desk sat on the north end of the room. Each specially made by Ron. Both were covered with toys and books. A changing table stood not far from the rocking chair. The baby quieted as soon as she saw the flying dragons. Hermione put her in her crib.

"Welcome home baby."

The child fell asleep instantly.
