"Draco, they look great" Hermione told her soon to be husband as she viewed their newly designed wedding invitations that would soon be sent out to their friends and family. She wrapped her slender arms around his neck and smiled to herself. "I can't wait to be Mrs. Hermione Malfoy. "I love you so much". She gave him a small peck on the lips and a hug before breaking the embrace.
"Me too. It's coming up so soon. I can't wait." He smiled back at her and looked into her chocolate brown eyes. It seemed as though every time he looked at her he fell in love all over again. He still couldn't believe that they were actually going to be married. He had actually fallen in love, and that girl was actually Granger. The past two years had been complete craziness. Their love grew and was kept secret until Potter just had to find out. He had ruined it, he told everyone. 'But it all turned out' he thought. 'She is mine. . . not Potter's or Weasley's. . .mine' he said with a smile spreading across his face.
"Draco I need you to come here, and bring Hermione. We need to pick out the cake and she has a dress fitting in two hours" he heard his mother call. They were all staying at Malfoy Manor for the time being. That meant he and Hermione, her parents, his mother, and all the house elves. It was fuller than it had been in a while. They loved it. It reminded Draco of how much he wanted a large family.
"Coming mother" he called impatiently. It really was becoming too much. "Hermione, can we just elope and get this over with. I can't take all this. We don't need a big cake or fancy invitations. . .just us".
"Draco I want the dress. I want my family there. I want this. Ok, so maybe it could be going smoother, but it will be fine. I promise." She took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze to let him know that she was there for him. Sure it was a minor situation, but somehow he just knew that she would always be there for him. He knew that it would work out, if he could just stick it out. The two walked hand in hand through the manor to find Narcissa. She had a car waiting to take Hermione to her fitting appointment, while catalogs were hovering in mid-air all around her for the cake.
"Well which one do you like?" she asked him as though he could sift through thousands of pictures in two seconds.
"Mother, I don't know. Let me just look through them, I will let you know." He looked through the first catalog. . . nothing good. So he picked up the second, and the third. He knew that Hermione wanted it perfect. This was her big day, he didn't care about the wedding, just the marriage. So he searched and searched for about an hour until suddenly he came across the perfect cake. It was simple yet elegant, just like her. It was tall and skinny with many many tiers. White roses poured down every side of the cake. It was beautiful even to him. He put in his order by shouting it to the catalog. All the catalogs rolled up and disappeared with a pop. 'Well at least that's one last thing I have to take care of.' But for some reason he knew that there would be a lot more craziness to ensue.
Soon Hermione was back with a huge smile on her face. "What are you so happy about? I mean I know I am a good catch but the wedding isn't today" he said with a laugh. But she was positively glowing.
"Well I just had my last fitting and my dress is perfect. It's beautiful. My mother surprised me. . . Harry, Ron, Lavender, and Ginny all met us there. It was great. They are bringing their bags in now. They get to stay with us until the wedding! I was so excited to see them".
"You just saw them like last week" he replied. But he knew his Hermione. He knew how much love she had in her heart and how much she loved to see her best friends. She gave him a small odd look that seemed to say 'So?' "But I know how much you love them, I am glad they are staying here with us. . .just until the wedding right?" He wanted to make sure that they would have privacy. Sure they didn't really live in the manor, they had gotten their own place. A small house that was just the right size for a new family.
"Of course. But that doesn't matter, after the honeymoon we are going to our own house. Your mother will just be stuck with them" she said with a laugh. "Listen Draco there is another reason I am so happy. Let's go out to the balcony. I want to talk to you."
Hmm, those were never good words. 'We need to talk'. But he wasn't worried, she said she was happy. 'What could it be' he thought to himself while absentmindedly putting a hand to his un-gelled head. He ran his fingers through his hair and followed her out to the balcony on the third floor of the manor.
"Draco, there's something I need to tell you. I was a little nervous at first but now I am absolutely ecstatic." He couldn't imagine what it could be. But if it was something that made her so happy he couldn't wait to hear it. "Draco, I'm pregnant". There was a pause. At first he didn't know what to say to her. A baby? His baby? They weren't married. Then it dawned on him. No one would know anyway. They were to be married so soon that it would just seem like they had a very exciting honeymoon.
"Mione! That's wonderful!" he said with a smile as he wrapped his arms firmly around her waist. He pulled her in close with his strong grip and kissed the top of her head. "I love you so much, and I will love this child just as much" he vowed to her. "Boy or girl?"
"We don't know yet. I'm not far enough along to know, but soon. Don't worry" she said as she pressed her face against his chest. 'A family' she thought. 'We are going to be a family'. A grin spread across her face and her eyes glistened in the sunlight. She couldn't be more excited. She had no idea that Draco felt the exact same way. He was in love with this woman and she was bearing his child. He had come so far in just a couple of years to being a complete arse to a father-to-be.
'Just wait until Potter and Weasley hear about this.' he thought with a smile. Sure they were all friends, but he knew that they would still feel a bit of that childhood jealousy that they just couldn't let go of.
