Draco, how would you like to meet your son and daughter?
~Previously~
The rain was falling in sheets by the time Draco found Hermione by the lake. When Potter had come to the door looking for Hermione Draco knew she was still outside. She was sitting on a rock by the lake staring into the rain.
"Hermione?" she was shivering when she looked at him.
"D-D-Draco-o?" she smiled as he pulled her up off the rock. He pulled her to his warm body.
"Merlin, Hermione, you're freezing. Come o…" he stopped when silenced him with a finger. And then kissed him.
"I'm ok." She said when he
lifted his head. Then she kissed him again.
"Mummy!"
"What did you say?" she asked him.
"MUMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Hermione could hear her son from the distance. Her dream was fading fast as Draco was started kissing her again.
"MUMMY!"
((~~))
… And now the story.
"MUMMY!" Luke cried again from his room. Hermione jerked awake and sat up on the couch. It was 5:30 in the morning. The twins normally were awake by six.
"Coming, Baby!" she yelled getting up and running the upstairs and past a sleeping Melissa. How that child could sleep next door to her brother's screaming was beyond Hermione. As Hermione enter her son's room he flew at her crying his sweet little head off. She knelt down and scooped him up. Luke clung to her like she was his last hope to be saved.
"Duckies!" he said squeezing her neck. She stared at her son.
"W-what?" she tried not to laugh as she walked over to the rocker in there in the room and sat down.
"The duckies were hurting me Momma." Luke said pressing his head next to her neck. She started to rock as she kissed his head.
"Its ok baby the duckies are not going to hurt you anymore. I promise you… Good morning Lissy. Come on up here." She smiled as she saw her daughter come in rubbing her eyes. Lissy grinned and ran over to her mother and brother. Hermione pulled her up onto her lap and continued to rock. Hermione loved to sit in her son's room with both kids in the morning as it was one of the only times they were together during the morning. Several minutes went past until Luke spoke.
"Mummy I hungwy. Let's have pantcakes with Chocolates chippies in them." Lissy nodded with her thumb in her mouth cuddled next to her mother. Hermione sighed.
"Oh I 'spose . But you know that means I have to get up in order to make them." Hermione laughed as her daughter protested.
"NOOOOOOO do magic toe make 'em. Duh Mummy." Lissy said looking at her mother. Luke nodded in agreement.
"Yea duh Mummy magic." He said and Hermione laughed.
"All right but I have to get my wand. That still means we have to get up… unless someone wants to get it from downstairs?" Luke and Lissy jumped off their mother's lap and started to run downstairs to get her wand. She shook her head and went into her room to get her dressing gown on then headed down the stairs. At the foot of the stairs she was accosted by both children who pulled her into the kitchen where her wand lay on the table. Crookshanks who was getting to be old and fat waddled out from his hiding spot in search of food. He meowed.
"Gee cat it's as if I don't feed you everyday, but then you were always like that now weren't you?" Hermione said as the cat rubbed against her legs purring. The twins were sitting in their respected booster seats at the table looking at her with grins on their faces. "The two of you are just like that cat aren't you?" she asked and they nodded. Hermione picked up her wand and said a few choice words and the ingredients for breakfast appeared on the counter and stove. The kids watched enthralled. She pointed her wand at the mixer started stirring the batter for the pancakes. Eggs and bacon for Hermione sizzled on the stove. Then Hermione went over to the fridge and grabbed the milk and juice.
"Milk!" Luke said as Lissy cried for the juice.
"Ok, ok I get the picture you two chill." Hermione said as she put the jugs on the counter and grabbed two sippie cups out of the dishwasher and filled them with the choice drinks and put two ice cubes in each of the cups. The twins liked the rattle of the ice. Why she would never know. She then handed them to the kids as she checked on their breakfast. When it was done Hermione sat down and cut each of the pancakes in to smaller pieces for each child. That was the start of her day off and she couldn't be happier.

Draco walked into Malfoy Manor at six after leaving Potter's memorial. I'm a father. I, Draco Alden Malfoy aged 23 am a father of two and a half year old twins. Merlin's Beard. He thought as he flung himself into his favorite chair in one of the many living rooms.
"Draco is that you dear?" Narcissa Black asked coming into the room. She had changed her name back to Black when Lucius was sentenced to death four years ago.
"No Mums it's the bloody Easter Bunny. Who did you think it was?" Draco said dryly. His mother laughed.
"Ha-ha Draco you always did have a twisted sense of humor. Now what's wrong?" Narcissa asked sitting on the couch. Draco sighed.
"Oh nothing much other than the fact that I found out that I am a father by the woman I dated in 7th year."
"WHAT? Who Pansy?"
"I have a son and a daughter… Twins. And hell no not Pansy, her name was Hermione Granger she was a Muggleborn and a Gryffindor. I know Father would have never approved of her. Lucas Xavier and Melissa Rose Granger. They are almost three by the looks of it. God Mum they look just like her. And me I suppose. I know Lissy looks like me and Luke has my eyes. I saw them in Muggle London and followed them to Harry Potter's Memorial and hid in bushes." Draco shrugged and got up then started to pace running his hands through his hair. Narcissa stared at her son unable to believe that her baby was a father of two year old twins.
"To hell with your Father. Did you get to meet them?" She asked.
"No. I'm going to find out where she lives and tomorrow see her if I can. Would you like to meet them if Hermione let's me bring them here?" Draco asked looking at his mother. She nodded unable to speak. Grandchildren I Narcissa Elise Black have grandchildren. To bad Lucius isn't here to see them… Damn Narcissa stop thinking about the guy who made your life a living hell. She thought as her son went over to the fireplace and threw a handful of Floo Powder in the fire place and yelled out an address. Draco stuck his head in and talked for a few minutes with the person on the other end of the fire.
"I found her Mums. She lives at number twelve Cabot Drive in London. I'll go tomorrow about one. But now I want to go shopping for my kids. Care to join me?"
"I would love to Draco." They headed to Diagon Alley to shop.
~~(~~)~~
The next day Draco walked up the quaint street where Hermione lived and stared at the buildings as he passed looking for number twelve. He almost passed the small two story house and stared at the house. It was a brick house with a chimney on the side. In the back he could see part of a jungle gym small enough for small kids to play on without getting hurt. The front door was so inviting and Draco almost ran to it but steadied himself. Easy there Draco, you don't even know if they are home. But he did say she had the day off. You don't want her to get scared and slam the door in your face do you? He asked himself and walked slowly up the walk and stood in front of the door. Draco stood there for a moment and then rang the doorbell. He waited. The door opened slowly.
"Hello Hermione."
~(~)~
After breakfast Hermione bathed and dressed her children and now stood in her room with both of them on the bed as she dressed.
"Mummy has the day off what do you monkeys want to do today?" she asked and the twins giggled at the nickname.
"Watch Mermaid." Lissy said but Luke shook his head at the thought of The Little Mermaid.
"No. Icky. Watch the doggy movies." He said frowning at his sister. Hermione sighed. Luke was talking about the Disney Dalmatian movies. He was crazy about all four movies. ( I'm talking about the animated and the live versions by the way)
"I have an idea you two… how about we watch the doggy movies and The Little Mermaid and a movie that Mummy wants to watch. Then we will all cuddle in our beds and take a nap. Ok?" Hermione asked and the kids nodded.
"Yeah! Watch Mummy's movie first." The said jumping off the bed and pulling Hermione downstairs to get the movie started. At noon they had their lunch and were sitting on the couch watch the live version of 101 Dalmatians when both children drifted off to sleep unable to keep their eyes open. Hermione carried them separately up to their room and tucked them in to bed. Then she went into the bathroom and turned on the water in the bathtub where she planed to soak with a nice book while the kids napped. At one her plan was interrupted by the chiming of the doorbell. She quickly got dressed and drained the water then went down to answer the door. She had peeked out of her window in her bedroom to see if there was a car parked in front of the house. There wasn't. She went to the door and opened it slowly. There he stood.
"Hello Hermione." Draco said and Hermione fainted.
---------@
As Hermione opened her eyes she saw Draco with a wet cloth which he must of gotten to place on her forehead. She was laying on the couch and Draco sitting above her with Crookshanks purring on his lap.
"That cat always did like you, didn't he?" She asked quietly making Draco jump slightly. Hermione laughed and slowly got up.
"Yeah I guessed he did. God Hermione I missed you." He smiled at her, and she smiled back.
"What are you doing here Draco? I missed you too each time I looked at our children."
"Children? What children? We don't have any children… or do we?" he said pretending. She laughed.
"Draco I saw you yesterday in Diagon Alley and you know I did."
"All right I confess I saw them."
"Draco would you like to meet your son and daughter? That is when they wake up. They're napping right now."
"You know I want to. So would my mother. But I have so many questions to ask you Hermione."
"Fire away. I know I was wrong about keeping them from you… But I had my reasons. I do apologize, Draco. Please forgive me?" She gave him that look she gave him when she asked him to lie to Ron.
"All right Hermione, why the hell didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
"You know I found out I was expecting the day Harry died but by then you hated me for other reasons… which I don't know what they were but…"
"I thought you cheated on me… with Potter."
"Oh Draco! You knew I loved Harry like my big brother… didn't you?"
"Yeah I thought I knew. Now another question, how in fucking hell did Weasley become our kids Godfather?" he asked and Hermione laughed. She knew that after the day Hermione confronted Ron and Luna Draco had loathed Ron even more.
"After Harry died Professor Dumbledore called Ron and I to his office to tell us the news. I was so devastated I fainted. I guess Ron caught me. I don't remember much after that, but I do remember Lupin asking me to forgive Ron for that was what Harry had told him was one of his final wishes. The other was for Harry and me to become blood siblings. Which we did." Hermione held up her right hand with the H etched on the palm.
"I know I heard you tell the Weasleys yesterday." Draco looked at Hermione but she was staring at the stairwell at two small figures. Hermione got up and went over to the children and picked them up and carried them over to Draco on the couch.
"Luke, Lissy, I would like you to meet your daddy."
"Daddy? Like Polly daddy?" Lissy asked looking at her mother and staring at her father like he was the Boogie Man. Luke on the other hand jumped into his father's arms scaring Crookshanks out of Draco's lap and under the TV stand.
"Who is Polly? Ughff! Hello Luke here check in my pockets I have something for you in one of them." Draco said as Luke pulled out a stuffed duck of Draco's robe pocket.
"A friend of Lissy's." Hermione said
"Look Mummy. Duckie." Luke cried excitedly making Hermione burst out laughing. Lissy and Draco stared at Hermione like she was going mental.
"Hermione what the devil is so funny?" Draco stared at the woman next to him curiously.
"Oh-ha-ha-nothing much but this morning Luke woke up from a dream about him being attacked by ducks. I guess. I was so sure he would be scarred for life but the moment he pulled out that duck I knew that he had forgotten about the nightmare. When I went into his room this morning he ran at me and clung on like I was a life line. I put it away into my memory bank forever. That's all." Hermione said as Lissy climbed off her mother's lap and onto his father's looking for a gift of her own. When she didn't find one she started to cry.
"Oh Lissy sweetie its ok your Nana has yours at daddy's house and if it's ok with Mummy we can go and get it." Draco said pulling his daughter closer. "It was way to big for me to take with me." Draco added to Hermione.
"Gamma Ethel?" Lissy asked perking up at the thought of Hermione's mother.
"My mother." Hermione supplied to a confused Draco.
"No baby, Nana. Your daddy's mother." Hermione corrected.
"So it's ok?" Draco asked Hermione. She nodded.
"Let's all go and see your mother, I have always wanted to meet her." Hermione smiled at the man she still loved with all of her heart. He smiled back making her heart melt. Then Draco grabbed their children's hand and Hermione got up to grab coats.
"Mummy I bring Duckie?" Luke asked making Hermione laugh again. This time Draco joined her.
"Yes baby bring your duck." She said grinning at Draco.

Well it is now 11:55 and I still have homework to do. So I better go and let my mind think of new stuff for my other fictions. Please let me know what you think. I know Draco's reaction to being a father wasn't what you were looking for but I might change it. And Hermione's reaction wasn't what I wanted either but it just flowed into my fingers and I couldn't stop it. Well got to get my proofing homework done now and I say goodnight. ~Allie
I also have been aked why I killed Harry. Well I don't know why I killed him. It was really a thought that came into my head at the last moment. So if that helps you understand my very twisted ways you are welcome.
