A/N: OMG I am so sorry… I just realized that I haven't updated in almost a month! *Slaps herself on head* That could be because I kind of forgot what was supposed to happen next and I just remembered. I have been so overwhelmed with school that I actually just broke down last night, and it has been so hard to find time to write… I have no h/w this weekend so maybe… if you are very lucky… I might get another chapter out…. Hopefully b/c I am very anxious to end this story.
DISCLAIMER: NOPE, I DON'T OWN DRACO! (DANRIT) OR ANY OF THE OTHER CHARECTERS, UNLESS I MADE THEM UP MYSELF… BUT I DO OWN THE PLOT…
Chapter 20: Not my Baby?
Hermione's blindness had finally worn off, and now she was able to walk around freely without the help of Draco. She sat on the couch with her feet rested against the coffee table and began to read her new favorite book, "What to Expect When You are Expecting" (she referred to it as her Pregnancy Bible). Hermione looked up the chapter on month 3: morning sickness, headaches, and moodiness…
"Draco? Would you consider me to be moody?" Hermione called out, checking to see if this applied to her.
"Moody? A little bit, but I don't know, why do you ask?" Draco said as he walked out of the kitchen towards Hermione.
"Just wondering," Hermione mumbled as she went back to reading.
Draco sat down on the couch next to Hermione and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He pulled out a book of his own: "How to Deal with Your Pregnant Wife".
Hermione looked over and saw the title of his book. "Hmmph! Where did you get that?"
Draco laughed, "I picked it up a while ago, just incase there was ever an emergency".
Hermione and Draco both went back to reading their books. Hermione had just finished the chapter on "Grandparents" when she jerked her head up so quickly that Draco's arm fell off of her shoulder.
Draco looked over at Hermione and noticed her staring at a portrait of her and Draco, taken on their wedding day. He could see Hermione's parents and his parents in the background talking. The picture Hermione turned over her shoulder and waved at Mrs. Granger, who was talking to Mrs. Malfoy. "Hermione, what is it? What is the matter?"
"Draco? Hermione whispered, deep in thought.
"This child," Hermione put Draco's hand on her stomach, "isn't the child in the prophecy…"
"What? What do you mean?" Draco asked staring at his wife intently.
Still looking at the picture, Hermione replied, "Do you remember the prophecy?"
"Yes, why?"
"Recite it for me, Draco."
Draco took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts, "Sure. It goes: Two enemies of 6 years form a beginning friendship in the seventh year of their true magical life. One best friends with the boy-who-lived and the other foe. Love is formed but trust is broken. A new life in the dark arts forms and was saved by the one whose loyalties were only to one person, the true love. A lie would be told to get the blessings of one family. A child was born from ancestries of the greatest dark and the greatest light causing the child to be more powerful all dark and light combined. Both parents would be unknowing of the child's powers, and free will can only give him to the dark arts.
…How is this not concern us everything fits perfectly," Draco asked, confused.
"Everything except one line…" Hermione said, still staring at the picture.
"Everything expect what? What is it Hermione?" Draco asked, anxiously.
"A child was born from ancestries of the greatest dark and the greatest light causing the child to be more powerful all dark and light combined," Hermione began, "ancestries of the greatest dark and the greatest light do not apply to us Draco. The child's ancestors would be their grandparents or great grandparents. Not their parents. Their parents don't form their ancestry; that all depends on their forefathers. Only part of that is correct though-your family is the greatest dark, but mine," Hermione paused, "my family has no magic…" Hermione trailed off, and Draco engulfed her in a warm hug, breaking her glance from the picture (A/N: finally! She stops looking at the picture with HER family in it… get it?)
"That is wonderful!" Draco said happily.
"Why is it wonderful?" Hermione asked, rather depressed with her ancestry.
"Now we don't have to worry about giving up our child to Voldermort! We will be able to keep the baby!"
"Your right! I didn't even think of that," Hermione leaned up and gave Draco a warm kiss. "You have no idea how much I love you."
Draco laughed, "I love you too…"
"Now what do we do? Tell Voldermort?" Hermione asked, her voice suddenly quiet.

A/N: Well, I would give you guys another "preview" thingy-ma-bob, but I have no clue what is going to be in the next chapter yet, so give me a bit to think about it… I am still debating between two things- one would keep my story going a little longer, and another could end the story. I'm not sure yet… if any of you have any suggestions; please let me know… it would help greatly! Oh I also have one more question… does anybody know how to delete chapters? I want to delete some of my old authors notes, but I can't figure out how. Okay… what if I bribe you with Draco… or better yet Tom Felton? Now will you answer? LOL Now, to my thank you's:
Courtney11989: Thanks! I hope you got the link to my other story, but it's been awhile, so I think you have already read it. Your story is going great so far, I love reading it!
Lizzy_Black: Sorry this wasn't out asap, but thanks for your review!
Sirius-lover4ever: haha… I don't really like JT either, but I do kind of like his song Senoritá (sp?) anywho, I'll try to get the next chapter out soon!
Voldermortsucks18: As soon as you say that I was getting out my writers block, I take a long time to get the next chapter posted. I'm sorry, but it wasn't b/c of writer's block this time… you can blame it all on my stupid teachers and their stupid homework. Thanks!
Polishprincess: I know, bad cliffy, but hey, that's how I get people to come back and read the next chapters and review them telling me to get writing.. *wink wink* thanks for your review!
V-Weasley: I know… don't we all… lol… I still want to find out what will happen next chapter. That's bad of me to say because I am the author! Thanks for your review!
Butterflyer: I'm glad you like the preview idea! I would have put one on this chappie, but I'm still not sure what it would be previewing… lol
Draco-an-Hermione-4eva: Oh, I'm sorry that you had to start school so early. I think that even the 28th was too early so the 11th has got to be tough…
Cossa Nova: Oh-no! Oh-no! I can't have Hermione kill herself… Draco would be too upset… if the prophecy was correct, then maybe she could have tried, or maybe I can work that into someplace else in this story? Hmm… I'm not sure about that… thanks so much for your review!
Lady Malfoy12: I'm glad you still like it…
Carshaa: good thing tomatos can't go though computer screens! I would be covered in it.. lol sorry this was a short chapter, but I couldn't help it. Thanks for your review.
Swimgoddess: Ahhh! Too many questions… I guess you'll just have to read and find out… I'll give you Tom Felton for your birthday, but you have to give him to me a month later, for my birthday! Oh, that reminds me, I still have to order your b-day present!
