DISCLAIMER: I own Draco, I own Draco, I own Draco. *Wakes up* Darn! That was a mighty good dream… No, J.K. Rowling owns Draco and anything else related to Harry Potter in the story. *Sniffs*

Previously:

"I know that I am adopted. My real parents are Helen and Thomas Riddle, and my uncle is Lord Voldermort," Hermione swallowed, "I was having dreams at Hogwarts which brought me to Voldermort. When there, I had one more final dream; the dream showed me how my real parents had died. Why didn't you ever tell me I was adopted?"

Kathryn blinked her eyes a few times and tears came down her cheeks, "But Hermione," she sobbed, "you are MY daughter. You were never adopted. I have your birth certificate right here," Kathryn got up from the table and went into the office returning momentarily with a piece of paper, which she handed to Hermione.

Hermione looked over "her" birth certificate. Is this for real? Maybe they were put under a memory charm and given a fake birth certificate. Oh my gosh.

Draco leaned over and looked at the piece of paper.

"We have pictures of you being born too," Kathryn added, "I'll go get them."

Kathryn came back with a photo album and showed Hermione the pictures.

Hermione studied the pictures very closely. She found a picture of a woman holding her after she was JUST born. But she looks nothing like Kathryn. Hermione thought as she closed the album.

Chapter 17: Another Surprise

It had been months since Hermione had gotten back from the Grangers. She had already picked out her wedding dress and church to be married in. She decided to put what she had learned from Kathryn aside. Maybe Kathryn was under a heavy memory charm to prevent her from remembering the adoption. Hermione guessed. But the woman in the picture looked nothing like Kathryn. Hermione had too much on her mind about the wedding, so he decided to stop pondering about the picture.

Draco entered Hermione's and his room at the Malfoy mansion, and walked up to her.

"What is troubling you, Love?" Draco asked.

"Oh, nothing I want to worry about on my wedding day," Hermione answered and sighed as she put her diamond earrings in.

"Okay, well, we have to go now, the limos are here," Draco said.

"Sure. By the way, is Narcissa taking my dress there?" Hermione asked.

"Yes she is," Draco said, "I just talked to her this morning."

"Perfect," Hermione said as she took Draco's hand and led him down the stairs.

Draco, being the fine (A/N: Very, very, very, very, very, very fine) gentleman that he was, opened the door of the limo for Hermione and helped her in.

"Thanks, Draco," Hermione said as she sat down, "Oh my gosh, this is so nice in here!"

"I know; would you like some champagne?" Draco asked.

"Can't have me getting drunk before the wedding," Hermione laughed.

"Oh that's right; I definitely want a sober bride," Draco said.

"And I want a sober groom," Hermione said, taking the champagne bottle away from Draco.

"Oh, haha," Draco said.

"I am very surprised your Dad allowed us to get married the muggle way," Hermione said.

"Actually, the muggle way and wizarding way are the same," Draco said.

"Hmmm… I learn something new everyday," Hermione said as she rested her head on Draco's shoulder.

The limo arrived at the church and Hermione and Draco got out.

"Well, I guess I won't be able to see you till you walk down the isle," Draco said.

"Yes, and you better not sneak and look at me; it's bad luck," Hermione said.

"I'll be tempted because I know you will look outstanding, but I guess I will have to wait," Draco sighed.

Hermione kissed him, "Don't worry, sooner than you know it, I'll be Mrs. Hermione Granger."

Draco smiled, "That you will."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione sat in her dressing room trying to put her wedding dress on. Why won't it fit over my stomach? I haven't been eating that much.  She muttered a quick size-altering spell, and the dress fit perfectly. Something looks different about me. Hmmmm… I wonder. She walked out of her dressing room and to the front of the church. Hermione stood behind the chapel doors clad in her gown. Her wedding dress was a silk white dress, outlined in a subtle green. It was sleeveless and the top portion was speckled with green shimmery fabric. Ginny and the rest of her bride's maids had already walked down the isle. The wedding march began to play on the organ, and Hermione pushed open the doors. Her father stood waiting for her, and took her arm when he saw her. Hermione couldn't stop smiling. Even though the church was full of people, Hermione only had her eyes on one person- Draco Malfoy.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Do you Draco Malfoy take Hermione Granger to be your lawful wedded wife? To hold and cherish through sickness and health?" the priest asked.

"I do," Draco said smiling at Hermione.

"Do you Hermione Granger take Draco Malfoy to be your lawful wedded husband? To hold and cherish though sickness and health?"

"I do," Hermione said proudly.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

(A/N: I wasn't sure exactly what the priest would say, because I've only been to one wedding before, but I think this is close enough.)

Draco lifted Hermione's veil and kissed her passionately on the lips. "I love you more than words can say."

"As do I," Hermione said smiling. She looked down at her wedding ring. I think my first year Hermione would die in shock right now if she knew she would be marrying a Malfoy.

Draco scooped Hermione up in his arms and carried her down the isle as people blew bubbles and threw rose petals at them.

"What are you thinking right now, Mrs. Malfoy?" Draco whispered into Hermione's ear.

"Do you know what was number one on my to-do list before I die?" Hermione asked instead of replying.

"What?" Draco asked.

"To love and be loved in return. I think I have fulfilled that," Hermione said as she kissed Draco on the cheek.

 Draco tried to think of something to say in reply to that, but couldn't. He just smiled and turned his head, so Hermione's lips moved from his cheek to his lips.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione and Draco had just gotten back from their wedding party and Hermione sat down on the bed. She couldn't believe she was a married woman.

Draco sat down next to her. "So, how does it feel to be a married woman?"

"Marvelous, wonderful, extraordinary, amazing, spectacular, fabulous, magnificent, I could go on forever you know. And it feels even better to be married to you," Hermione replied.

"I feel the same way," Draco said and pushed Hermione down onto the bed.

Draco climbed on top of Hermione and engulfed her into a very passionate kiss.

"Show me you love me," Hermione whispered as she intertwined her fingers in Draco's hair.

Draco smirked and carefully slid down Hermione's wedding dress.

(A/N: I was desperate for ideas, and I couldn't think of anything else.. so please deal with me for the remainder of this chapter. Oh and if you are a guy reading this, which I highly doubt that a guy is reading my story, but anyways; you probably won't get the rest of this chapter, it's a girl thing.)

****Two Weeks Later on a remote island for their honey moon****

Hermione flipped through her calendar. What is wrong with me? Why haven't I got it yet? 28 days have past since my last--- Draco cut off her thoughts.

"Are you coming out here Love?" Draco yelled from the beach directly in front of their cabin.

"Uh, Draco, honey, I'll be right out," Hermione said and went to fetch her wand.

"Are you okay in there?" Draco yelled.

"Perfectly fine." I am such a liar.

"Accio Pregnancy Test!" Hermione said and a small rectangular package floated towards her. Hermione walked into the bathroom and sat on the counter as she read the instructions. (A/N: Fortunately, I have never had to use one, so I really don't know how they work, so umm… pretend Hermione knew how and uh (can you tell this is awkward?) tested herself. :-/ )

Okay, now I just need to wait. 20 minutes later a blue plus appeared on the test. Oh my gosh. This can't be true. The pregnancy test was enhanced with magiked so there was no way it could be false.

Hermione slowly opened the bathroom door, and made her way out of the cabin. She opened the cabin door and was swallowed up in the fragrant smell of the ocean. She walked toward Draco and the hot sand encrusted her feet. Draco saw her coming and smiled. "Everything all right, Love?"

"Draco? Umm… well actually no, everything isn't all right," Hermione forced the words out of her mouth.

Draco immediately jumped up and was instantly at Hermione's side. "What is the matter? Do you need to see a doctor?" Draco frantically asked.

Hermione weekly smiled, "How do you fell about becoming a father?"

Draco's face was overcome with several emotions. Relaxation, knowing Hermione was okay. Shock, about hearing Hermione was pregnant. And happiness, he would become a father.

A/N: First of all, you have no idea how incredibly sorry I am for not getting this up sooner. I deserve to left in a room by myself full of spiders… (For those of you who don't know me, I am scared to death of spiders.) Ahhhhhh… and there is a spider on the wall right across from my computer this very second!!!!!! *Starts freaking out* Okay, I have served my punishment. Worst yet, this chapter was the worst chapter I have ever written… the wedding, which is supposed to be a memorable event, was horribly described and the rest of the chapter was 'blah'. Please forgive me and don't lie to me in your reviews—ha this chapter isn't even worth being reviewed. I probably won't have the next chapter up till two weeks from now b/c I have two really big swim meets this weekend, and next week I am going to Michigan. If my dad brings his laptop, I might be able to get a chapter written while I am there. I apologize again for being such a terrible person and leaving you in suspense. To all my reviewers:
