To Be A Malfoy

Chapter 6.
~*~*~*~
***ONE YEAR LATER***
~*~*~*~
"Draco, darling? Are you home?"
I grinned as my wife of one year called up the stairs of our two-story house. After two months of living together in the condo, I had decided that my wife deserved better than a one bedroom, one bathroom house. So, taking the money I had saved from my job at the AMM, I surprised her by buying a two-story home along the very beach that we had met on almost three years ago.
"Up here, in my study." I called down, not wanting to leave the comfort of my red-velvet high-backed chair. I heard her soft footsteps on the stairs, then her cheerful face peeked in the door. Her face was shinning more brightly than usual, and her eyes were starry. Smiling slightly, I put down the book I had been reading and then turned my attention to her.
"How was work?" She asked, coming over to me. I grinned and with a quick movement, put my arms around her waist and pulled her down into my lap. She giggled and kissed my forehead, something she knew I loved.
"All right. Stephen's disgruntled that I have been promoted to Manager of the office, but he's only just below me, so I don't see the problem." I sighed. She grinned.
"Yes, but just a few years ago, he was your boss. Now, you are his. I suppose he feels like he's being gypped." She informed me. I raised an eyebrow, and then rested my chin on her head, taking in her flowery scent. She snuggled closer to me, and then sighed contentedly.
"Dragon, may I ask you a very strange question?" She asked suddenly, lifting her head so she could see my face.
"Of course, love." I murmured, kissing her lips chastely. She smiled.
"Do you remember that conversation we had, on our honeymoon?"
"Yes. How could I forget?" I teased. She laughed slightly.
"Well, if we were to have a baby, what would you like? A boy or a girl?" She asked, her eyes roving my face. I thought about it for a minute, then smiled. After all this time, my thoughts about children had softened a lot, especially after Stephen and Rachel had had their first child, a boy named Caleb. I have to admit, that I had become quite attached to the quiet little boy.....
"A boy. Then, if we had any other children, he could protect them when I couldn't." I finally answered. She smiled.
"When do you want to start trying?" She asked, her voice holding a strange amount of laughter. I frowned, wondering what she was getting at.
"Well, how about now?" I responded, pulling her closer. Her eyes flickered with a mischievousness that caused me to squirm in my seat.
"How about in nine to ten months?" She suggested. I felt my eagerness fade slightly.
"Why that long?" I questioned, hoping my voice didn't show the confusion I was feeling. At this, she burst out laughing, her long auburn hair falling into her face. I brushed a strand back and stared into her eyes.
"Oh, Dragon! Don't you get it? We can't try having a baby when there's already one there!" She informed me gleefully. I stared at her, bemused, until the words that she had just spoken hit my brain like an icicle.
"Baby? We're having a baby? You're pregnant?!" My voice rose with every word, and my excitement did as well. She nodded, barely able to suppress the happiness she was feeling. My mind whirled, as I tried to take in everything that she had just told me.
A baby.
She was pregnant.
A Baby.
Another life right here in this room with us.
A BABY!!!
I was going to be a father!!!
"OH MY GOD!" I shouted, jumping up from my chair with her in my arms, and swinging her around. Then, it hit me that that might not be the best idea, so I put my wife down and hugged her tightly. Her laughter was near to tears now, and I heard them welling up in her voice as she spoke next.
"Are you happy?" She asked quietly, her voice no higher than a whisper. I pulled away and stared down at her in disbelief.
"Happy? HAPPY?! Of course I'm happy! This is one of the best days of my life! I'm going to be a father! A father!" I yelped, my eyes wide. She sniffled and smiled up at me, her eyes shinning.
"You don't regret it?" She asked hesitantly. I grinned.
"Do I look like I regret it, honey?" I asked, finally coming to my senses and sitting back down, pulling her with me. When we were settled back on the chair, I looked into her eyes and put my forehead against hers.
"How far along are you? When did you find out?" I asked. She had also calmed down a bit, and managed to answer me in a level voice.
"Just today. I mean, I had my suspicions, but I haven't had morning sickness, so I just thought I was wrong. Oh, and I'm about a month along. That's where I was just now. I went to the doctor to confirm it." She murmured.
I don't know why, but I put a hand on her stomach, marveling over the fact that at that very moment, there was a tiny life inside her, made from the love we had. And I knew at that moment, that I would love this child as my father had never loved me. And I would let him/her know just how much I loved them, too.
"I love you." I finally whispered, after a long pause. She giggled.
"I love you too, my Dragon." She breathed.
Our little moment was only interrupted when our four cats came wandering into the room, wondering what was taking us so long to fix dinner.
~*~*~*~
//Dear Harry:
I have just received the best news. It was so wonderful, that I went out and bought an owl, just for the occasion. His name is Benton (don't look at me, Kaitlynn named him).
Anyway, on with my news.
Kaitlynn's pregnant.
Yes, I, Draco Malfoy, am going to be a father! I just found out yesterday, and I had to tell someone. Since Stephen, Rachel, and Caleb are on vacation in Florida, I decided to dish it out on you!
Can you believe it? I will be a father in just under eight months, and I am already so excited that I can hardly sit still. I can't wait!
All right, I'll stop acting like a seven-year-old school-girl now. How are you? How is Ginny? How is everyone there? I hope everything is well and dandy.
I'd better go. This parchment is getting a little long.
Yours in excitement,
Draco//
~*~*~*~
//Draco:
Let's just say, I am glad that I was sitting down at my desk when I received and read your letter. If I hadn't been, Madam Promphrey most likely would have had to revive me from my faint on the floor.
No seriously. I was that shocked. And I have reason. Not only is Kaitlynn pregnant, but several significant others. Just listen to this.
Ginny. Yes, my darling wife is pregnant, and is about one month through it as well. Fortunately, she hasn't had morning sickness.....yet. I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER, TOO!!!
Cassia. Yes, your sister is about three months pregnant and going strong. Shane can't wait to be a father.
*Hermione Weasley*! She is about five months through it, and a little bit grouchy, but Ron couldn't be happier.
Rose Longbottom, my sister. She's due about the same time Ginny is. Funny the way those things work.....
Luna Black (or Luna Lovegood, as you probably remember her), is due to have her son in less than a month.
And Sheryl Lupin (the wife of our dear old professor), is due around the same time as Luna is.
Plus, a whole bunch of my brothers-in-law have added to the Weasley population.
Isn't that strange?! Every one of our wives is getting pregnant this year, or having their children then. I don't think Hogwarts will ever be able to stand this up-coming generation, no-way-no-how!
Well, what do you think about that?
~Harry
BTW: What are you planning to name your child?//
~*~*~*~
//Harry:
GREAT HIPPOGRIFFS AND HEAVEN ABOVE! ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE WHEN THEY GET TO HOGWARTS!
How do we ever manage it? I'm laughing my a*s off as I write this, I hope you know. The coincidence is just too ridiculous. Another Potter and a Malfoy, both the same age, and both carrying on the old Potter/Malfoy feud...or not...whichever they choose.
Although, I am not sure that mine will be attending Hogwarts. Kaitlynn and I have talked about it, and though Malfoy manor would be a wonderful place to raise our kids, we would prefer to stay closer to her family, at least for now.
And yes, we have chosen two names. One for a boy, the other for a girl. Jason Tanner if it's a boy, Jasmine Lark if it's a girl. Personally, I'm hoping for the boy, but fate will most likely land me with the latter. Oh well! I'm happy with whatever I get!
I'd better go. We're going over to Kate's parent's house to tell them the news.
~Draco//
~*~*~*~
//Draco:
Great names. We're planning on James Darien if it's a boy (named after my father, of course), and Lily Marie if it's a girl (named after my mother, if you couldn't tell). The names were Ginny's idea, because she wanted to honor my parents. I can't say that I am in any way disappointed. I love the names!
I hope that your meeting with the in-laws went well. I know how those things go, I've gone through them myself! Let's just say that Molly and Arthur are more than happy to have more grandchildren on the way, especially from their two youngest children.
Perhaps your plans of staying in America are justified. I can understand that you don't want to up-root yourselves at so critical a time, and I wish you luck in your future plans.
Oh. My. God.
Since writing the above, something extraordinary has happened, and I can scarcely contain my excitement. Ginny went to see Madame Pomphrey, to have the baby examined. And the dear old nurse announced something that truly did cause me to faint (yes, I admit it. You can laugh, Ginny did.)
We're having twins.
Two babies.
Twins.
I'm going to be a father twice-over! I can hardly write, my hand is still shaking so much. I can't believe it! Two babies!
And to make it better, Madame Pomphrey was able to determine early-on what gender they are. So here you go.
I, Harry Potter, am going to be the father of not just a little boy, but a little girl as well. It looks like James Darien and Lily Marie are both going to be coming at the same time. Can you believe it?!?! I'm so happy!
Well, I'd better go. Ginny want's to go over and tell her parents right away, and frankly, I can't wait to see their faces, either!
~Harry//
~*~*~*~
~*~SEVEN AND A HALF MONTHS LATER.....~*~
I felt myself nearing a panicky state as my lovely wife was rolled into the delivery room of the New York Regional Wizarding Hospital. Her long auburn hair was sweaty and strands of it stuck to her flushed cheeks, while she heaved in gulps of fresh air with each breath.
I held her hand anxiously, sighing with relief as she was finally wheeled in and settled in an enclosed area. Then, the doctors began to move around like mother chickens, getting things ready for the arrival of this new human. I stared down at my silent wife, wondering at how she could be in so much pain, and yet still have the heart to keep from yelling bloody murder at me. Of course, Kaitlynn wasn't like that at all, so I had nothing to worry about.
We had decided not to find out about the gender of the baby until he or she was born, thus making it all the more exciting for us. But as I looked down at my suffering wife, I wondered where all that excitement we had expected was. Then, Kaitlynn squeezed my hand hard, as another contraction washed over her. She let out a small whimper, but nothing more.
"It's alright, Baby. You are doing wonderful, and I love you." I whispered, smoothing down her hair with my free hand. I could have sworn I saw a small smile on her lips before another contraction forced her to close her eyes tightly and moan. The female doctor must have heard, because she came up behind me and smiled at us.
"It's time. Now, I need you to give a big push for me." She said in a calming voice. Kaitlynn took a breath and then did as the doctor directed. I was in a position to see what was happening, but I forced myself to keep my eyes on Kate's face, despite my curiosity.
"The head's crowning! Give one last good push, and it'll be out." The doctor instructed. Again, Kaitlynn did as she was told, and I tore my eyes away from her just in time to see our child enter the world.
There was a tiny baby cry.
"Congratulations. It's a boy." The doctor whispered, putting the baby onto Kaitlynn's stomach and rubbing it vigorously with the soft baby blanket. I felt tears well in my eyes as I clutched onto Kaitlynn's now-limp hand, and stared down at my son.
He was tiny, pale, and beautiful. Absolutely perfect. A nurse moved forward and wrapped the baby up quickly, taking the small, crying being away. I took this time to collect myself slightly and look back at my wife, smiling.
"A boy, Draco. Isn't he beautiful?" She whispered, her blue eyes overcome with happy tears. I nodded, still in a stupor.
"I love you, Kitten. And I love Jason Tanner Malfoy just as much." I murmured, saying my son's full name, since I still couldn't quite believe it. She smiled and weakly squeezed my hand.
"I love you too, my Dragon." She breathed.
"Would you like to hold your son, Mr. Malfoy?" Asked the nurse, holding out the baby. I stared at it, wide-eyed, then gingerly took my son from her, unsure of how to go about it exactly.
"Support his neck." The nurse instructed, before bustling off. I looked down at the now sleeping face, and no longer could keep my tears at bay. There lay a perfect little human, with pale skin like mine, but a tiny flush in his cheeks, like Kaitlynn. He even had a bit of white-blonde fuzz on the top of his head that looked like hair.
"Jason Tanner Malfoy." I whispered, staring at my son in awe. Then I moved closer to where my wife lay, watching us.
"He *is* beautiful." I murmured, as I tenderly handed our son to her. She smiled, a bit stronger than she had before, and held Jason close, cooing to him gently. I watched them in silence, reveling in the fact that this was my family.
My family.
My wife, my son.
My new life.
Their lives.
Little did I know, as I watched them happily, that in just over a year, two more children would be added to the Malfoy family. Their names would be Jasmine Lark and Serenity Anne. Though twins, they would be different as night and day, literally.
Six years following the birth of the twins, another son would enter the world, this one named Darren Andrew.
And seven years after him, one last girl would be born, Marina Rae.
But for right now, there was just the three of us, Kaitlynn, Jason, and I. And at that moment in time, to me, they were all that existed in the world.
