Chapter 9

```````````````

"Nurse get me a hypodermic syringe, she losing blood and this baby won't last much longer" Dr. Author Kelly said grasping the bag of medicine connected to the IV in Hermione's arm.

"Labor shouldn't be going on this early. The only way would be if her body went into stress related shock" Dr. Tyrus Gray said putting on his surgical gloves

"We have to work fast or she could die, what do you suppose" Nurse Andrea Wells handed Dr. Kelly the syringe and standing next to Hermione holding her oxygen mask to her face

"I'll do my best, nurse, I'll do my best" Dr. Kelly called for a scalpel and got to work

~*~

"She's been in ICU for about an hour…Yeah….She passed out…labor….four months I think…hysterical at first but I'm calm now…okay…yeah…goodbye mother…yes I'll talk to you when you get here…goodbye mother" Draco flipped his cell closed and leaned back in his chair

"Hello Malfoy" A hard male voice caused him to snap his head toward them and sigh

"Hello Potter, Weasley" He crossed his arms and leaned back once more

"Isabel called Ginny. Where is she and what did you do to her" Ron said menacingly

"Look I don't have the time, patients, or energy to deal with you so just screw off" Draco said calmly

"How is she Malfoy" Harry asked softly

"She's in the ICU with fifty thousand IV's hooked up to her. She's probably going to lose the baby," Draco said closing his eyes

"What baby" Ron was cut off by the ringing of Draco's cellular phone

"Hello…Yeah…What…yeah I'm at the hospital…no rewind what in the ice blue hell are you talking about…Charlotte is in labor…at this hospital…No I'm not going to be with her…Yes I'm in maternity ICU…I know how close the delivery room is…no you twit, you're not listening I'm staying with Hermione because if she loses this baby and I'm not around she'll never speak to me as long as I live…because we have a son together that's why it matters…This conversation is over… goodbye father" Draco flipped his cell closed with an agitated mumble and forced himself to remain calm

"Again I ask, what baby" Ron did not like to be ignored

"She didn't tell you she was pregnant?" Draco stood up and began pacing

"Oh that's genius, and I guess she didn't tell you that we live together, or that Charlotte is in the frame of mind that someday I'll stop sleeping with Hermione and start what I should have finished nine months ago." Draco was talking more to himself than he was to Ron and Harry

"You're sleeping with her?" Ron asked

"No Weasley I made a wish on a falling star that she'd get pregnant and then *poof* my wish was granted" Draco said sarcastically

Ron blushed and sat down falling silent

"Of course why should you care whether or not we're together? You ditched her once you found out about Andy" Draco said raising his finely arched eyebrow

"You did the same thing," Harry said narrowing his eyes

"I didn't ditch her it was a mutual breakup with the understanding that once she healed then we'd only communicate on terms of Andy. And that we wouldn't sleep together," Draco said shoving his cell in his pocket,

"And she lives with you?" Harry asked

"Yes, she's a grown woman she can make her own decisions" Draco said stoically

"Mr. Malfoy I assume you are the father of Ms. Granger's daughter" Dr. Kelly and Dr. Gray each shook Draco's hand

"Is she okay?" Draco asked placidly

"Yes, she lost a lot of blood and she's okay. She gave birth to a baby girl whom she named Narissa but we're afraid that she not fully developed and she may not make it. Ms. Granger would like to see you though" Dr. Kelly gestured for Draco to follow him to her room

They left Hermione and Draco alone for a little while so they could talk.

"Did I lose her, is she alive?" Hermione asked weakly

"You didn't lose her and I suspect she hooked up to as many machines as you are" Draco said grasping her hand, which was reaching out for him

"I still love you Draco. I never meant to hurt you" She smiled softly at him

"I love you too Hermione" He said kissing her fingertips lightly

"Were you scared?" Hermione asked

"Yeah" He said chuckling a little at his earlier state

"My knight in shining armor" She laughed

"Yeah, Potter and Weasley are here to see you" He said lacing their fingers

"Okay. But first I want you to kiss me, like you did that time in he common room" She said sitting up

He leaned over and kissed her softly on her top lip then on her bottom one.

"Where's Andy?" She asked

"With Miranda" He said

"Who" her brow knitted in confusion

"A girl I know from the firm" He shrugged

"Oh" she shrugged

Dr. Kelly entered the room and folded his arms.

"Well then Mr. Malfoy you sure do get around because there's a woman who claims that you are the father of her son. Raven haired little thing with green eyes" Dr. Kelly shook his head

"I'm not the father but I know who is" Draco stood up and made his way toward the door…Charlotte could best make reservations in hell cause when he got a hold of her she was dead.

A/N: This one was longer but my sentimental scene sucked. Oh well. A million Hersheys kisses to the first person who can figure out who fathered Charlotte's baby *singsong*.

To American Angel: Hermione almost miscarried her baby. I made her four months pregnant for a couple of reasons. The blood was coming from between her legs, and it's a known fact that when you lose as much blood as she lost then you would pass out. Hermione's body went into shock while she was sleeping so that's why her labor was so early.

ATTENCHUN: I need votes on whether or not Hermione's baby should live or not.
