Thank you Sara(),HPFanatics311(),Le joint philosophique, I-LOVE-SPENCER, FoxyChic4u, crystal(),Catherine() for reviewing.

I'm going to try to update every Friday or Sunday it depends on how much homework I have.

"Mom, are you ok" Draco asked his mother who was staring at the wall with a blank expression on her face.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Narcissa asked looking at Hermione smiling from ear to ear.

"We don't know yet, Mrs. Malfoy" Hermione said putting her hand on her stomach.

"Please call me Narcissa, after all you will be marrying my son" Narcissa said looking as if she were going to explode from happiness.

"We decided not to get married" Draco said as he traced small patterns on Hermione's slightly swollen stomach.

"Why not" Narcissa shrieked looking as if some one just shot her puppy.

"Why should we" Draco asked as if it were the most obvious thin in the world.

"For the child of course" Narcissa said looking at her son hopping that they would get married.

Narcissa couldn't understand why they wouldn't want to get married. Her son obviously cares for Hermione you could tell by the way his eyes light up when he sees her or the way he smiles when he looks at her, There's no doubt about it her son is in love.

"But mother we don't love each other" Draco said sounding regretful.

YES!!! He does love her, Narcissa thought excitedly to herself. If I give them a little push maybe they could realize that they like each other. But does Hermione love Draco?

"Draco why don't you give Hermione a tour of the house while I get tea ready" Narcissa said hopping to get some time to think things through.

"Yes mother" Draco said as he pulled Hermione out of the sitting room doors.

"This is the garden," Draco said as he sat down on a stone bench.

"Wow, it's beautiful" Hermione said as she sat down next to Draco.

"Ya it is isn't it" Draco said while looking at the vine covered fence surrounded by rosebushes and in the center of it all was this statue of a girl holding two bowls. (A.N. you know the book midnight in the garden of good and evil on the cover it has a picture of a statue well it kind of looks like that and so does the garden except without the gravestones.)

Hermione sighed and put her head on Draco's shoulder.

~*~*~

'Hermione has to have some sort of feelings for my son' Narcissa thought as she watched Hermione rest her head on Draco's shoulder.

'I wish I could just push them together, but that would be impossible considering how stubborn my son is' Narcissa thought while watching her son put his arm around Hermione's waist.

'Well I suppose I should call them in for tea' Narcissa said to herself as she walked outside.

~*~*~

"So what are you two going to do once that baby gets here" Narcissa asked after taking a sip of her tea.

"We don't really know" Hermione said resting her head on Draco's shoulder.

"But we are going to find a house so we can move in together" Draco said putting his arm around Hermione's waist again.

Yes! The house across the street is for sail. But Draco would never want to move right next door to his mother. But Hermione will probably need all the help she could get. I remember how helpful Lucius was when Draco was born. Hopefully Draco won't be afraid to hold his child like Lucius was. Narcissa thought smiling at the memory of her late husband. (A.N- did that last part make sense?)

"It's getting late and we really have to go" Draco said as he helped Hermione up from the couch that they were sitting on.

"Bye Draco, bye Hermione. I hope you two come and visit me soon," Narcissa said as she walked her son and Hermione out.

I wonder if they would mind if I gave them a house as a present, Narcissa thought to herself as she closed the door.

"I think Mother was acutely happy that she's going to be a grandmother " Draco said as he started his car.

"Ya, she seemed really excited" Hermione said as she looked out the window.
