Rain of Tears
Chapter 30 Rain of Tears
"Mr. Malfoy?" asked a Healer looking down at Draco who was seated in a chair with his face buried in his hand. Draco looked up at the man and nodded as he stood up.
"How is she?" he immediately asked worried.
"Well the child is really weak it can't really breath on it own yet, were not sure if the child will live." Said the healer.
"What about my wife?" asked Draco as he stopped and thought what he had called Hermione? Hermione wasn't Draco's wife yet but after everything they went through and everything they did they should be consider husband and wife.
"Your wife." Said the man biting her lower lip. "She wishes to tell you about her condition her self. You may find her in room 206 it's a few halls down."
"Thank you" said Draco as he rushed to find the room the man had said he would find Hermione.
Draco found the room and with trembling hands he slowly opened the door. Hermione was lying on a bed with her eyes closed. Draco slowly walked up to her scared to make any noise. Draco carefully placed his hands on top of hers. She was so pale Draco needed to touch her just to make sure she was still alive. Hermione's eyelids fluttered open upon Draco's touch. "Hey" she said in barley a whisper, as Draco lifted her palm and placed a few kisses on it.
"How are you feeling?" asked Draco already knowing the answer. Hermione looked horrible, you could tell she was on the edge of death, and Draco knew it he didn't need Hermione to tell him, he could feel it.
"I-I...I'm dieing."
"No.No you can't be," said Draco trying to keep any tears from falling down.
Hermione smiled weakly, "but I am," she said. "I wanted to tell you myself."
"No you can't be."
"But it's true. The healers told me...that...I'm to weak." Said Hermione taking deep breaths in between words. Draco let out a short sob and a single tear ran down his face. "They said the longest I'll live is 12 hours." Hermione closed her eyes trying to get more energy to go on.
"There has to be a spell or potion" said Draco but stopped as Hermione shock her head.
"There isn't Draco. It's my time to go."
"Don't be silly you're not dieing, you just had a child your weak. Your going to live I know you will." Said Draco, but the truth was he knew Hermione wasn't going to she was never really strong and Hermione could sense Draco wasn't saying the truth.
"Don't lie, you never were good at lying." Said Hermione a smile creeping up on the corner of her lips.
"Shhhh..." said Draco placing a finger to her lips. "Don't say anything."
But Hermione continued, "I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry for making you fall in love with me." Draco bared his on the bed sheets as Hermione slowly picked up her had and ran her fingers through his silky hair. Her eye's watered up as she thought of the fact that, that might be the last time she might get to feel Draco's hair.
"If I knew I was going to die...I-I would have never said I love you. I would have never said I would marry you." Draco couldn't take it he began to sob uncontrollably. "If you hadn't fallen in love with me... you would be happy somewhere else... with... someone else and not crying for me."
"No Hermione...NO I could never love any one besides you. You are everything to me." Hermione smiled weakly
"Meeting you Draco was the best thing that ever happened in my life."
"No... No your life's not over you will experience many more wonderful things." He said trying t convince her so she wouldn't give in to her dieing.
"Imagine 1 year ago we were fighting and now your hear crying for me while I'm dieing."
"No, No" Draco didn't want to hear her talk like that. "You're not going to die. You can't leave me now you can't. I can't live without you." He said as he kissed her hands a few times.
"I know you are afraid of living without me. I'm afraid of living without you too. But I'm not afraid of death" said Hermione raising her voice slightly to show her courage. "But being without you" Draco looked up at Hermione his looking like glass. "That is the worst thought in my head... for I don't know how I'll go on... without you by my side." She stopped and closed her eyes as she tried to catch her breath.
"Don't say these things. I'm here now, I will always be by your side, and you will live through this." Said Draco not really wanting to let himself believe that Hermione's life was reaching its end.
"If god wishes me to be with him there is nothing that con stop him from taking me."
"NO NO" screamed Draco "I'm not going to let you go. You can't give in you can't. I need you, I need you."
"I promise," said Hermione as she brushed his hair while he cried on her lap. "You will never be alone."
"I wish I was the one dieing and not you."
"I...I ...I" but Hermione stopped as Draco placed a finger to her lips.
"I can't let you go. You mean too much to me. You've become to much a part of my life." Said Draco sobbing in between words.
"Draco please take care of the baby"
"No No don't start," said Draco "please Hermione don't... don't go don't leave me"
"I'm going to miss you Draco," she said cleaning his tears. For I know I'll be lonesome without you, even in heaven. No matter what people might say that heaven is paradise, paradise is where you are. I love you Draco, I love you so much."
"NO HERMIONE NO" Draco yelled as she shut her eyelids and gave into her death. "No Hermione don't go, you can't. You can't give in...you can't leave me you can't" Once Draco realized that Hermione wasn't going to respond again or open her eyelids. He whipped his tears with the back of his hand, placed a last kiss on her sweet lips, and laid down next to her wishing that her death would pass on to him and he would die as well.
It rained that night for Draco did not have enough tears to cry over the lost of his one true love. That rainy day was forever remembered in Draco's memory as the Rain of Tears
Draco lay there holding on to Hermione for about an hour, just remembering all the wonderful times they had together until the nurses came to take her away. Draco remained in the room just thinking about her wishing ill intentions for himself and death. He felt there was no life without Hermione he pulled out his pocketknife and stared at it. It was so beautiful so enchanting to him. This small figure that could end his life and bring him closer to Hermione. Draco slowly raised the knife.
Suddenly a nurse walked in "Mr. Malfoy?" She asked. Draco quickly put away the pocketknife. "I was wondering if you would like to see your child." Draco had forgotten about the baby."
"It's not my child" Draco said as he followed the women down the hall.
"Well that's not what your wife told us." Draco followed as the women led him to a room full of babies protected by what seemed to be a magical orb. Draco looked at the baby, which the women had pointed out to be Hermione's. "She's doing a lot better then she was and the healers say that she is going to live."
Draco smiled as he stared at the baby. It was the most beautiful thing in the world and it seemed to bring new hope into his life, but then it was immediately destroyed as he remembered that the baby wasn't his. He smiled up at the women. "The healers say you will probably be able to take her home at the end of the week." Draco's eye's filled up with tears. "All she needs is a name," said the women
"Liv" said Draco "her name is Liv." The women smiled as she wrote the Childs name on some papers.
They say that a mother gets to pick between her baby and her life. Hermione had picked the life of her child giving up her life so the baby could live.
Tears Dripped down Draco's face as he watched the child, she looked just like Hermione except one thing she had ...
