chapter 4 Oh baby

It was the question no parent wanted to answer. Xander had never asked because when Tabitha was born he was only 2. The thought never crossed his mind. Now they had to answer to two children. Draco paced the room as Hermione sat on the bed. They were not even close to prepared. They weren't stupid enough to say the stork brought it. They were to smart to tell them what happens in the bedroom after they are asleep. Draco had it the worst. He never asked questions as a child so he had no answers. He wasn't allowed to ask uncomfortable questions. But these were his children. They deserved an answer however poor it may be.

"Mione. I can't do this. I seriously can't answer that question." He wasn't lying either. For this words would not form. Hermione sighed.

"I'll tell them. I just tell them what my parents told me," She stated with hesitance. Draco smiled in apperciation. He knew he would be paying the piper no much later.

Hermione sat down in Xander's room. He was playing with his Ninja's. She called him over and he jumped into her lap. Draco then came in with Tabitha in his arms. He sat down at his son's desk and waiting for Hermione to start. He was so lucky to have her. He knew he would be stumbling over his words attempting this. He wasn't very good at talks. He just wanted to be his kid's best friend. She could mediate and explain. He could not, he envied her.

"Now you asked where babies came from" After receiving a nod from them Hermione continued "Well when a man and a woman love each other they get married"

"Like you and daddy" Tabitha asked

"That's right. And sometimes they love each other so much they want more. So they make a child. I told your daddy I wanted a little boy just like him and I got you" She said hugging Xander.

"Then I told mommy I wanted a little girl to call princess" He added feeling oh so good about him. Hermione nearly laughed at the arrogant face he made.

"Well we love you guys so much we want more. So we are going to love and that love makes a baby. And in a couple months you kids will either have a little brother or sister to love like you guys love each other" Hermione hugged her son as Tabitha hugged her father.

"Will it be mean?" Xander asked

"Heavens no. It will be a baby. It will laugh and cry and love. But it won't talk for some time" Hermione told him

"Why can't it talk?" Tabitha asked

"Because just like walking you have to teach babies how to do things." Hermione said

"I can't wait till the baby gets here" Xander said

Hermione sat in her hospital bed. Draco to her left getting his broken hand patched. Tabitha and Xander to her right staring in awe at the bundle in her arms. She smiled at them. The rest of the people they knew were outside the room waiting to see the mom and her new baby. the nurse came and asked for the name for the birth certificate. "Zachary Liam Malfoy" Hermione said looking at her little man. Draco smiled to her and nodded to the nurse.

It was late. The baby was delivered at 10:37 at night. The children were very tired. So Ron and his wife took them to their place for the night. Ron and his wife Sheryl had twin son's Collin and Scott. They were 5 and very good friends with Tabitha and Xander. This gave Zabini, Potter and the rest of the Weasley's to see the baby.

"He'll be a Quidditch player that one" Zabini said with pride,

"He most certainly will not. My son will be a little scholar" Hermione retorted.

"He'll be so handsome. Just like his brother and father" Draco said proudly

"My little man will be a lady killer. With that dammed Malfoy charm" Hermione said out of annoyance.

Hermione woke up to the sound of her smallest crying. He wasn't much a sleeper. So she got up and got him a warm bottle of milk. As she sat on the bed she watched her husband sleep. He wasn't as graceful as most would think. He had bed hair and was sprawled under the sheets. He was the same with every child. He loved them and cared for them all the same. Half the nights he would just sleep through the crying and the other half he would take care of it all himself. She loved him for his patients and ease. There were nights the baby would just cry and nothing would work. They would both stay up and try everything and the baby just cried and cried. Babies are like that.

As she was still sitting on the bed feeding the baby Tabitha came in. She looks so tired it was cute. The baby's cries had woken her. She didn't say much she just came over and sat next to Hermione watching the baby.

"Did his crying wake you sweety?" She asked her daughter. Tabitha nodded. Hermione smile as she stood up. "Would you like to sleep with mommy and daddy?" She asked and Tabitha nodded once more. Hermione put her not sleeping son back in his cradle. She nudged Draco who woke easy now that the baby wasn't crying.

"What is it?" He asks not daring to open her eyes.

"Tabitha wants to sleep with us" She said and he moved over. Tabitha jumped in the space between her parents as her mother lay down. Draco kissed the top of both his beautiful girl's head.

It was Christmas Eve, and the Malfoy's are having their yearly party. As they have had since Draco and Hermione got married. The Weasley, The Potter, the Zabini's and the Malfoy's all went to the Malfoy Manor for an all out Christmas bash that went on from Christmas eve to the day after Christmas. Hermione was the one that started it. She said look at all these rooms we don't even use and the idea struck her. Now the manor was a full house. All the women got together the week before Christmas and planed out the decor and odds and ends. Molly Weasley was in charged of food, completely. Ginny was in charge of odd and end decorations. Sheryl ( Ron's wife ) was in charge of where children will all be. Hermione was in charge of making sure everything was in the right place and nothing was messed up. All the men were order to find the biggest tree that would fit in the party room of the manor. Somehow Ron got stuck in charge of getting all the decorations up.

Everyone was showing up at around 10 o'clock in the morning just like planned. Nothing ever really went to terribly wrong. Now 8, 6 , and 1 year old Xander, Tabitha and Zachary were in the big playroom with Jordan, Adam, Briana, and Bryan. Leo, John and Degas were in the nursery. Jordan and Degas were Ron's children, ages 2 and newborn. Adam was Harry's 6-year-old son. Briana was Blaise Zabini's daughter age 5. Leo was Georges son and John was Fred son both 3. Bryan was Ginny's son 2 years old. All the children were in the place they should be and the parents had time to breath. Poor Ginny, Sheryl, and Constance (Blaise's wife) were late into their pregnancy. Not much could go wrong, right?

The small talk had begun. The women were in the tearoom during tea and talking about their children. The men were in the study talking of the latest news in sports and on occasion the kids and what terrible thing they done. Laughing about it out of nature. The children were so content playing in the playroom and the one of the house elves Draco hired was in the nursery making sure the babies were ok. This was Christmas with the Malfoy's all right.

"So Hermione how is it having three kids when two are hard enough" Sheryl asked.

"You'd be surprised how much the two kids help out. It changes there way for a little while. Trust me. It's easier than you think" Hermione smiled to her. Suddenly Ginny screamed and jumped up.

"What is it baby" Molly asked

"I'm having a baby!" Ginny said in panic.
