Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. Only the plot
is mine.
A/N: I apologize if it gets a little fluffy now. I'll try to put more action later. Right now I want to focus on Draco and Hermione's relationship and what is happening with Harry and Ron. I am so sorry for taking so long to update. I've had a lot of homework to do; I work during the day and go to school at night.

Chapter 8: Baby and a Wedding
2 months later.....
"Draco?"
"Yes, love?" asked Draco looking up from his copy of The Daily Prophet to see Hermione standing in the doorway to the living room.
"Umm..I think you should send for the midwife and your mother now."
"Oh my! Is it time? Is the baby coming?" Draco jumped up out of his chair and ran over to Hermione.
"Yes, the baby is coming now and I don't think it wants to wait." Hermione let out a moan of pain as she felt another contraction.
Draco ran over to the fireplace and threw a handful of black powder into it. Suddenly the face of Narcissa Malfoy filled the fire place.
"Oh Draco, what is it dear?"
"Mother, the baby is coming. Hermione needs you now, and bring the midwife."
"Alright, I'll be there right away son." and with that her face disappeared from the fire place.
10 minutes later Narcissa Malfoy and the midwife arrived by floo powder.
Draco couldn't take it anymore. He'd been listening to Hermione scream in pain for three hours. He felt useless and ready to burst into the room when he heard a baby cry. He wanted to run into the room but his mother had told him to wait until she came to get him.
The door opened after a few minutes and Narcissa poked her head out.
"Draco, you have a daughter. Come in and see her, she's beautiful." Draco followed his mother in not able to say a word.
"Draco, we have a baby girl. I love you so much." Hermione said crying along with the new baby.
"She is beautiful. I love you too. She looks just like you. What are we going to name her?" Draco now had tears forming in his eyes.
"I think we should name her Allison. Allison Chase Malfoy. Look, she has your blue eyes."
"Yeah, she does. Allison? I like it. I can't believe I'm a dad. Hermione, we're parents." Narcissa and the midwife left the room silently to let the new parents become acquainted with their daughter.
"I know, our lives are going to be so different. So, when do you want to discuss our wedding date?" asked Hermione laughing bringing up the long forgotten discussion.
"Any time you want. The sooner the better. I can't wait to make you my wife and be a family."
2 years later......
"Ginny, I am so nervous. I can't believe that I'm getting married tomorrow." said a jittery Hermione.
Hermione and Ginny were out doing a little last minute shopping before the wedding. Draco had decided to give Hermione the muggle wedding she wanted. They would have a private wizard wedding later.
"I can't believe you talked Draco into a muggle ceremony. I've never been to one myself."
Ginny was so excited to have been asked by her best friend to be her Matron of Honor. Not that she knew what that was before she was told by Hermione.
"I just wish Ron and Harry could be here. Still no word, huh?" asked a saddened Hermione worried about her two best friends.
"No, the Ministry just keeps giving us updates that they're still alive and fighting the good fight. I can't believe they won't let them contact anyone. I miss them both so much. Mother cries everyday for dear Ron. They've been gone nearly three years now."
Ginny started to tear up so she stopped talking and walked over to rack of dresses in search of a good sale.
"Well Ginny, I think we should go now. I have to pick up Ali from my mother's house. Draco had to work today at the Ministry so my mum decided to baby-sit. She loves spending the day with Ali."
Hermione started to beam when talking about her daughter. She still couldn't believe that she had a two year old daughter and was getting married tomorrow.
"Where is she staying when you go on your honeymoon? You are taking a honeymoon right? Even us witches and wizards know about that." laughed Ginny
"We're taking her with us. We're going on a family vacation. I don't think either of us could stomach the idea of being away from her for too long. I can't get over how much she looks like Draco with her blonde hair and blue/grey eyes."
Hermione couldn't believe it, the day was finally here. In five minutes she would become Hermione Granger Malfoy. Ginny was already teary eyed while helping Hermione with some final touches to her make up.
"Ginny, you have to stop crying or I'll start crying and it'll ruin my make up."
"I'm sorry, I can't help it. I'm just so happy for you."
Hermione's mother walked into the room holding the hand of her two year old granddaughter.
"Honey, are you ready? Draco's waiting." asked her mother
"Yes, mum. I'm ready. Come here Ali, give mummy a hug."
Alison ran up and gave Hermione a tight hug. Hermione put her down on the floor and held her hand.
"OK, let's go." and with that Hermione was prepared to walk down the aisle to her awaiting groom.
Draco stood waiting nervously at the alter. He was nervous because he had never been to a muggle wedding much less been in one. Suddenly the music started and Draco looked at the opening doors.
He felt fatherly pride when his daughter began walking down the aisle throwing rose petals as the flower girl. Next, down came Ginny the Matron of Honor looking beautiful. Draco smiled at her and then had his breath taken away when Hermione appeared at the doorway on the arm of her father.
She looked stunning, her gown was strapless yet tasteful, it was form fitting down to the waist where it flared out down to the floor. She had a lace veil shielding her face and a long train flowing down the back of the gown.
Finally, she reached Draco and her father kissed her cheek symbolizing him giving her to Draco.
After they exchanged rings it was time for the groom to kiss the bride. This was the part Draco was waiting for. To him, this was the best part of a muggle wedding.
As they were walking down the steps of the church to their awaiting car someone yelled out, "Where are you off to now?"
Draco and Hermione looked at each other and smiled.
"Disney Land!!!!!" they both screamed laughing. They hopped into the car with their daughter and drove off heading to the airport for their long awaited vacation.
