Victoria laid in bed staring up at the ceiling because she couldn't sleep. She looked over at the clock it was 2 in the morning. 'This is silly' She thought to her self. She stood up and put on the silk robe that Draco had sent her, then apparated to his bedroom. She heard him quietly whimpering like he was having a bad dream. So she crawled into bed next to him,

"Shh...it's alright hunni I'm here" she said while she stroked his hair. Draco shifted positions so he was on his said and he had laid his arm loosely around her waist. By the way he was breathing she could tell he was still asleep. Victoria stopped stroking his hair and let her hands fall down to his chest, and began to softly cry. As she did so he pulled her closer to his body, but as far as she could tell he was still asleep. Victoria tried to get up but he wouldn't loosen his arms around her, and she didn't want to wake him up so she relaxed and closed her eyes. 'I'm going to regret this in the morning' she thought.

He thought he could still feel her in his arms as the dream faded away. But left his eyes closed, he wanted the feeling to last as long as possible before he had to face reality. But his eyes shot open when he felt her shift around in his arms, and she began to softly cry. He turned to face her and she instantly pushed herself away form him and turned her body away so she wouldn't have to face him.

"What's wrong?"

"Bad dream..."

"About what?"

She answered honestly, her voice barely above a whisper. "you.." She wiped her eyes and savored the silenced because she knew it wouldn't last for long. He moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist tightly as if he was afraid she'd leave, which had been thinking about. But she just laid there and didn't cuddle back which seemed unnatural.

"I'm sorry...she just lunged at me and you came up before I had the chance to push her away"

"I know, Hermione explained everything to me"

Then why have you been avoiding me?"

"I-" she began to say but suddenly stopped.

"Tell me whenever you're ready" he could sense that she was scared, So he kissed her hair and rubbed her arms to calm her.

A few minutes later she answered, "Just let me sleep, I was up all night...we'll talk later"

She turned over towards him leaving no space between them. He looked into her eyes which were red from crying. So he gently kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes and let out a jagged breath he figured it was to stop herself form crying. Victoria didn't know how he would react when she told him. They were both still young and she doubt he wanted to be a father at this point in his life. All she could think was that he'd leave her, or make her get an abortion. She pulled her body closer to his and kissed his bare chest.

Around 10 am she woke up alone, but she heard the shower running and walked in to see him just standing under the water. His shower had glass doors and was completely see through. His whole body was perfect, but the expression on his face killed her. It looked like some one had torn his heart out, and she figured it had been her who had made him look that way. She dropped her robe and got into the shower with him. He turned around, he couldn't hold himself back any longer . He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him, and brought his lips to hers. He opened his mouth to kiss her fuller but she pulled away.

"What's wrong"

"Sorry I'm just trying to fight my own demons right now"

"Let me protect you from them"

"You caused them" she said before she could stop herself. Then quickly added, "I'm sorry" She got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body, but he came out after her. Victoria tried to leave the bathroom but he grabbed her arm. She turned towards him as a tear fell down her cheek, she had never let him see her cry until now and It made her feel vulnerable. He wiped it away with his thumb, he slowly pulled her face towards his and gently kissed her. Victoria opened her mouth as he did the same. He explored her mouth with his tongue, and savored the warmth of her kiss. But she pulled away again,

"Draco I can't do this" she walked into his bedroom and laid on his bed crying, there was no way she'd have the concentration to apparate home at this moment.

"What the hell Victoria, I didn't do anything! You can't just show up at my house ,sleep in my bed, and then ignore me!"He yelled at her.

"I know, it's not you.. it's me" She said without thinking. His heart sank, it sounded as if she wanted to break up with him. Realizing what she said she continued "that's not what I meant"

"What do you mean?"He yelled louder.

"I just don't know how to tell you" she yelled back at him.

"Just tell me"

"You want to know! Draco I'm pregnant. There I've said it, good bye" Furious she got off the bed and apparated back to her house. In her room she cried herself to sleep and didn't wake up till later that night when she heard someone open her door. It was dark out side and no light were turned on in her room but she was comforted by a voice she had grown to love.

"Victoria?"

"Yea I'm awake"

He sat down on her bed and stroked her back for a minute, "I've always wanted to be a father, and I couldn't think of a better person to have children with" Draco said sweetly. "I've always known you'd be the one, that's why I want you to marry me"

She glared at him though she knew he couldn't see her face, "What did your mom tell you to say that?"

"I told you I wanted to marry you a month ago...right after I said I loved you"

She vaguely remembered that but smiled at the thought of him wanting to marry her because he loved her. Draco got up form the bed and switched on the lights, she pushed her face into the pillow to avoid the light.

"Let me show you something" He whispered

She reluctantly turned over to see the little velvet covered box in his hands. Inside was the most gorgeous engagement ring she'd ever seen. The ring was silver and in the middle it held a square, green emerald with two smaller diamond on each side.

"Victoria will you marry me?"

"Of course I will..." Before she could reach out to get the ring he shut it closed quickly.

"First you have to kiss me" he smirked at her. Victoria got up and pushed him onto the bed, she saddled him glided her hands up his chest as she leaned forward to kiss him. His kiss was warm and gentle. He leaned up and she pulled away, but remained on his lap.

"I do love you more than anything on this world"

"Who wouldn't?" she teased Then added "I love you too" He smiled and pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it on her hand.

He watched her gaze at it in amazement, "I'm glad you like it because it's costing me a fortune." He had been resting his hand on her waist but then placed one on her stomach, and she put her hand over his.

"Oh god help us, soon another Malfoy is going to be running around" he laughed, and she lightly slapped his chest. "Come on lets go to bed I'm tired." He watched her get up and lay back in her side of the bed, she was still wearing the robe he had bought her, it was black silk with green trimming. "I'm going to go take a shower first I probably smell like sweat from quidditch practice"

Just noticing his practice uniform she questioned him"You didn't tell me made the team..."

"Yes I did I wrote it one of the letters I sent you" He said walking into the bathroom

"Oh...well congrats then" she said as she slipped under the covers, she laid and bed and listened to the sound of the water running. She had nearly fallen asleep when he came out and crawled into bed with her.

"Draco not now" she said pulling away from him as he kissed her neck. "I'm tired and I have a lot on my mind"

"Like what?"

"Like I have to start planning the wedding, so we can get it done before I start to show. And we have to go to America so you can meet my parents, and..oh crap my parents"

"What?"

"My mom will no I'm pregnant form a mile away...then she'll know I had sex before we were married and she'll give me hell for that"

"How will she know?"

"I don't know , but she did it with my sister"

"You have a sister?"

"Yea but she lives in America, and she went to a school over there"

"God...how old is she?"

"Well she'd be about 20, she was real jealous when I started to go to Hogwarts. I've only seen my niece once...Elizabeth got pregnant when she was 19. Kind of a thing everyone in my family gets pregnant at a young age"

"How old was your mom?"

" I think she like 16"

"She wasn't even done with wizarding school, wouldn't they kick her out"

"Draco my mom is a muggle" She said as if he already knew.

"Your mom is a what?" Draco immediately sat up.

" A muggle, but my dad is a wizard."

"You never told me that"

"It's not important...right?" she said glaring at him.

"Right-" he said laying back down. "How much time do we have?"

"Not much for a real wedding, I think we should just elope , it would be so much easier."

"Doesn't bother me"

"Good let's go see my parents tomorrow" She said cuddling closer to him.

"I don't have a choice do I?

"Nope" She kissed him before resting her head on his chest and falling asleep. HE kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"God I hope your dad doesn't kill me"
