Thanks to all those reviewers... sorry this chapter has taken so long. I've
just finished mid-year exams so I hope this is ok.
Chapter 7
The weeks had passed very quickly for Draco and Hermione, and at 11pm on the 29th of January Hermione went into labor.
As Draco ran out of the delivery room chased by Hermione's screams.
"Yeah, you better fucking run! AHHH!"
As he sat down to catch his breath he noticed three people in the room. Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape and Minerva MsGonagal back from her trip. The only person he was happy to see was Severus.
"Well? How is she doing?" Severus asked.
"She's still only 4cm dilated, whatever that means, and it's already been four hours!" Draco said with an exasperated sigh, the added "Oh, and I forgot to mention that I will never be getting sex again."
Severus just laughed at him, and soon Albus and Minerva joined him.
"Severus I need to speak with you in private." Draco said quickly to the now sniggering man. "I'll just be a minute."
At Severus' nod Draco went back into the room where Hermione was waiting for the next contraction to hit.
"Hermione? How are you doing so far?" He asked carefully.
"How the FUCK do you think I'm doing?" She yelled back with more energy than she had.
"I just wanted to tell you that Severus, Minerva and Albus are here. I just wanted to talk to Severus before you pop out our baby. I'll be back soon ok?"
"Ok, just try to be quick. And Draco... make sure he knows how we both feel about it."
Draco kissed her forehead when she screamed as another contraction hit.
"I love you," He said as he walked out the door. .................................................................
Sitting in a spare room in the hospital wing Draco was nervous, amusing Severus very much.
"Well boy, what did you need to speak about?" Severus said beginning the conversation.
"Hermione and I would like you... that is to say that we... well you see Severus Hermione and I both..."
"Oh just spit it out boy!"
"We want you to be our child's godfather."
Severus just sat there with a shocked look on his face, now amusing Draco.
"So does that look mean that I can tell Hermione that you'll do it?"
"... Draco I don't know what to say... I mean... are you sure? Because I can point out quite a few people who would be better at that job..."
"Severus stop! You're rambling. Hermione and I are sure. You are who we want, no one else." Draco stated simply.
"But Draco...."
"No buts! Hermione and I trust you with our lives and now with the life of our child. What you did for us during the last battle, what you did for so many people... we just wanted to let you know that your life was not ruined for just any reason. We want you to know how much we appreciate you."
"Draco..."
"No, let me finish" Draco took a breath and continued. "Hermione and I both hold a respect for you that no one can understand. This child deserves to have all the love we can give it, including you as godfather."
"I still stand by my statement that there are better people for the job," Severus said with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Well too fucking bad Severus, you're taking it!" Draco said with a smile.
Draco stood and walked to the door to get back to Hermione, leaving Severus to wipe away the tears that were suddenly slipping down his cheeks.
.............................................................
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Draco almost tripped as he ran into the delivery room. It was now 4am and was lucky that Hermione was too engrossed in screaming to pay him much attention.
"What did he say?" Hermione asked when she had gotten her breath back.
"Yes, of course" He smiled. "I think I caught a small tear in the corner of his eyes as I left, but I can't be sure."
Draco kissed the beautiful, glowing woman in front of him just as Poppy came back in.
"Let me see how everything is going Hermione." Poppy spent a few minutes between her legs before she popped her head back out.
"8 cm now. Not much longer to go." And with a smile she turned to the door to inform the professors who were still waiting outside.
"Draco, can you ask Minerva if she could possibly owl Harry and ask him to get here as soon as he can?"
"Of course sweetheart, I'll just be a second."
..............................................................
"Minerva, Hermione just wondered if you could owl Harry for her? I think she needs him here." Draco said to her quickly and went strait back to Hermione at Minerva's nod.
.............................................................
An hour later Harry had arrived and asked to see Hermione, but was deeply upset when he was told that no one was allowed to see her until the baby came.
Severus sat there with a small smirk.
'I can't wait to see his face when he hears I'm godfather' he thought.
.................................................................
Between contractions Hermione asked Draco is the baby could have two godfathers.
"Why do you want to know that?"
"Because I want Harry to be a second godfather for the help he gave me in the beginning"
"How about we make him Uncle Harry?" Draco asked not really wanting Harry to be a godfather.
"Why AHHHH!!!" As the latest contraction subsided and Draco stopped kissing Hermione's hand she continued.
"Will he be the only uncle?"
"Sure! Why not?" Draco responded with a dramatic sigh that made Hermione giggle.
Just then Poppy walked up to Hermione's legs to check the progress.
"Well Hermione. Are you ready?" Poppy asked with an excited smile.
"Well it's now or never." Hermione replied as Poppy moved her legs to make the delivery easier on her back.
...................................................................
Poppy walked out into the waiting room ad Harry jumped to his feet and headed for Hermione.
"I'm sorry Mr. Potter. They asked for Severus first." Poppy informed him.
While Harry stood there with a shocked look on his face Severus went to see if he had a godson or daughter.
...................................................................
The sight he saw made him grin. There was Hermione cooing to a small bundle and Draco sitting next to her looking like an extremely proud father.
"Baby, we want you to meet your godfather, Severus. Sev for you." Hermione said to the small bundle.
"Come over here and meet the newest Malfoy Severus"
