Chapter two For The Love Of The Babe

"One last time my love, no one will ever know" he whispered pulling the zipper down "No one will ever know...."

Or so she thought.Narcissa sat in her large private bathroom hunched over staring at something in her hands.

"Oh god...What am I going to do?" she moaned softly looking a much paler than normal. And then he called to her

"Narcissa!! Love what on earth is taking you so long?" his voice sounded concern but she didn't have to look up to see the impatience in his eyes. "What's that in your hand?" His tone was cool but after all these years she could hear the trace of annoyance. But before she could even think about replying with the truth or a lie her snatched away what ever she had clutched in her hands. His eyes widened and she became a shade paler

"Oh love this is wonderful!!" Lucius exclaims wrapping his arms around his wife

Narcissa holds back her sigh watching the pregnancy test fall to the ground. She wanted to cry but then he'd be confused and maybe even angry and she did not want that at all. He had finally gotten what he desired most but it wasn't really his. But she would have had to have a death wish to tell him that

The announcement was made immediately forcing Narcissa to play the part of the excited mother, well in truth she was excited but it was pure torture to not only play the blushing bride once again but also the part of the new mother. Lucius showed her with gifts which should have made her happy but for some reason she simply felt like a pet that had finally done her trick properly. All she could think about was Azlar but that hurt her heart.

At first she was angry. How dare he wake up her heart from its ten year comma only to leave her again to the likes of her husband. She spent countless hours wondering why he let her go...Why she let him let her go. For once she was happy about Lucius's long business hours because only the house elves knew of her tears and she had ordered them to tell no one. Not even Master Malfoy!! Normally she didn't believe in being cruel to them but desperate times called for desperate measures

"Oh Zelly what am I going to do?" she moaned from her perch at the large window "Mistress must cheer up and stop thinking such thoughts!!" her personal house elf squeaked "Mistress must push bad feelings away and make sure baby has happy life!!" "You're right" Narcissa announced standing. She would throw herself into giving her baby a wonderful life. But she couldn't stop thinking about Azlar

She laid in her bed trapped in her memories. When she closed his eyes she could see him laughing at her.Teasing her lovingly. It had started as a plan to free her from society. To free her from those awful puppet strings and they had succeeded. She was free from Lucius and her mother and most important of all she was in love. They were in love. But their happiness wasn't mean to last. He knew but he didn't let on. Lies and jealousy had torn them apart and Azlar had tried to fight his destiny too late. And so she laid there in her bed trying not to think of him and failing miserably. Zelly's words came back to her.

"Mistress must cheer up and stop thinking such thoughts!!"

She didn't cheer up but she did manage to stop thinking. There was so much going on in her life right now that it was easy to be swept along like a pebble in a rushing river. Lucius pampered her stealing her away for several trips to Diagon alley to buy things for the nursery that was being prepared as they speak

"What shall we name him love" Lucius asked as he pulled out a chair for her at an outdoor. Though she had protested he insisted that they take a break. She had wanted to find out the natural way but one day Lucius had come home and pointed his wand at her casting a charm that would tell them the sex of the baby. It had definitely given her a fright.

"I'm going to call him..Draco" she smiled. Lucius made a face. "But I thought we were going to name him Lucius The Second" "I think Draco will work out as a better name...I've already informed the press of our decision so you wouldn't have to be bothered" she smiled sweetly knowing she had just won the argument before he could began to force her to change her mind. The fury in his eyes tolls her so but since the public knew there was nothing he could do to change what he saw as a mistake with out causing people to ask questions

Everyone but Lucius seemed to simply adore the name Draco. All her friends cooed and spoke baby talk to her large stomach at the countless baby showers thrown for her. There were also a few meetings with the press. Answer a few questions here, some smiles for the camera there and then the eager father would apologize to the crowd telling them the mother to be needed her rest and finally it was off to her room to do what ever she please as long as she didn't step foot out of her room until every one was gone. He didn't care if she really rested or not.

One calm spring day a cry rang through the manor...Narcissa's water had just broken and she was going into labor!! Lucius was of course in a meeting leaving his very pregnant wife alone with a dozen panicking house elves. The pain was getting worse and she cried out again as she heaved herself to her feet stumbling towards the fire place

"ZELLY!!" she screamed "Zelly get me some floo powder we have to get to the hospital.

Upon hearing an order the house elf calmed down with a small pop she disappeared repairing a few painful seconds later with a vase full of floo powder. But the vase's beauty was lost on the laboring witch, grabbing a handful of the sparkling blue powder she threw it into the fire. The orange flames turned emerald but before she stepped into them she turned to Zelly once more

"Zelly go get Lucius. Tell him I've started to have the baby and that I've gone to the hospital" it was a strain to talk at the moment but some how she managed to waddle into the green flames. "Airidon hospital birthing wing!!" she shouted careful not to get soot in her mouth. The harmless clover flames wrapped around her and soon she stepped out into a quiet waiting room

"Some one please help me!!"

Nurses jumped to their feet helping Narcissa into a wheelchair where she was promptly delivered to a delivery room and put in bed. A few moments later the doctor rushed in and began helping her in the miracle she was about to perform.

Meanwhile Lucius was sitting in the parlor of a gentlemen's club. It was stylish of course the waitresses were all young and healthy but they didn't run around half naked! A small pop announced the appearance of Zelly

"Master Malfoy Master Malfoy!!" she squeaked stumbling in her haste to get to him

Lucius who was in the middle of a joke was not only horribly embarrassed but he was also outraged to have his house elf come after him. No doubt that woman wanted him to pick something up on his way home. Well he'd be damned if he got it for her!!

"What are you doing here?!" he demanded standing to give her a vicious kick. But to his great surprise the house elf dodged his foot and this mad his anger rise even higher!

"Master Malfoy mustn't waste any more time!" the house elf cried "Mistress is having the baby and has sent Zelly to inform you and tell you she needs you to go to the hospital right away!!"

Anger faded quickly and he bid goodbye to his friends but instead of going by floo he simply aperiated to the hospital. Despite the many offers to go aid his wife Lucius decided to stay in the waiting room pacing back and for in an almost impatient manner. Finally several hours later the labor was over and the child was clean and sleeping in his mother arms. As he swept into the room his breath was taken away by the sight that was before him. He could not remember his little wife looking more beautiful as she half laid half sat rocking what from her could see perfect baby boy.

"He has my hair" he says simply to announce his presence since she seemed oblivious to everything but the child in her arms "Though it looks like his eyes are a mixture of our grey and blue"

It took all of Narcissa will power not to mention that he had her hair and her father's eyes. The press wasted no time getting there once they heard of the long awaited birth of Draco Malfoy. Like always Lucius aloud them to stay so long before shooing them away. But this time Narcissa did rest but this time with her darling miracle baby sleeping in her arms.

And so the years passed by peacefully. Narcissa threw herself into raising her precious little dragon. This ate up her time. She had time to fret over all the times Lucius left her to go on business trips more and more nor did she miss Azlar as much for she had a piece of him with her always. She was so wrapped up with raising Draco she had not noticed the change in her very own husband..
