Hi everyone! I got one review from prettypinkpeacok and I thank you. Glad you liked the new name. I own none of this except for some stuff.
Doctor Robin came over in no time to check Sophia over. It turned out that she had Measle Pox. It was like chicken pox and measles put together and only occurred with magic people. She mixed up some medicine and put it in a pink bottle.
"How long does this last?" asked Hermione, as they all talked downstairs.
"Well most of the time for about a week. During this time she can't go to school until most of her spots are gone. If she gets sleepy don't worry about it, it's just the medicine and the fever. Make sure she takes the entire tablespoon full." Said Dr. Robin, checking over her clipboard.
"Alright. Can baths help with the fevers and stuff? What do I give her to drink?" asked Hermione, as Draco handed her a note pad and pen.
"Yeah, baths help but not by much. Sophia would do best if she stayed in bed and not walked around so much. A lot of fluids will also keep her from getting dehydrated. If that's all I'll be on my way." She said standing up.
"Ok, thanks." Said Draco, opening the door.
She waved and appariated back to her office. Hermione just sat there thinking she'd never gotten this. But she did have Chicken pox.
"She'll be fine love. I'll start to make her lunch and you can give her a bath and get her some pj's." said Draco, helping Hermione up.
Hermione nodded and walked up the steps. Sophia was still lying in bed, her cheeks were pink with fever and her nose was red from a cold. There were more dots now on her arms and her neck.
"Come on sweetie, I'll give you a nice cooling bath and I'll put lotion on them for you. And daddy's going to get your favourite lunch alright." said Hermione, trying to pick her up.
It was a little difficult because of her protruding stomach. They walked to the bathroom, Hermione gave her wand a flick and the tub was filled with nice cool water and blue bubbles. While Sophia was trying to rest Hermione went to set up her cutest pj's and get the lotion.
"How's she doing?" asked Draco coming into the room.
"Fine, she's in the bath right now. Is her soup almost ready?" asked Hermione, not looking up.
Draco noticed that Hermione seemed a bit sad. Then Hermione sat down on the floor with her face in her hands. Draco sat down next to her, pulling his wife into his lap. He rubbed her back and rested her head on his chest.
"What's wrong?" asked Draco kissing the top of her head.
"It's my fault she's sick. If I wasn't such a horrid mother my baby wouldn't have all those little dots or have a fever or anything." Cried Hermione.
"It's not your fault. You're not a horrid mum, you're the best there ever was and anyone would be lucky to have you. (Andrew shifted) See even Andy agrees with me. This is just an illness that all kids get. There's no way it was your fault." Said Draco, rocking slightly.
Hermione cried a little more. Her emotions had become weird over the last few days and she couldn't really control them. Draco sat trying to convince her that she had nothing to do with it.
"You're too good to me. Stupid hormones making me cry over the silliest things." Said Hermione with a smile.
"I love you so much." Said Draco into her neck.
"I love you more. I've to check on Sophia." Said Hermione, trying her best to stand up.
When she couldn't Draco helped. Hermione poured cool water over her head and let her sit for a minute more. Then quickly dried her off, added after bath oatmeal scented lotion and then put pink lotion on the dots. Sophia's short dirty blonde hair stayed out dried in big ringlets.
"Mumma, can I go to school tomorrow?" asked Sophia, coughing slightly.
"I'm afraid not. Not until I can see no more spots." Said brushing away her bangs.
Draco came up shortly with a wicker tray of chicken soup and warm butterbeer in a Winnie the Pooh cup. He set everything up for her and kissed her warm forehead.
"Eat up darling, it'll help you get well. If you need anything just call." Said Draco, taking Hermione's hand and walking out of the room.
They went to have their lunch too. When they were finished they walked into the new nursery and started painting. Instead of going to the store, Hermione had a catalog and ordered what she wanted and they were ship it over when they saw fit.
"You're going to be awfully busy tomorrow. I can ask to stay home if you'd like." Said Draco, going up a ladder.
"No, I'm sure I can manage. I don't have much to do." Said Hermione, painting in soft strokes.
Draco nodded and they continued to paint. With the help of their wands the room was painted and dried. Hermione charmed the carpet to change different shades of green until she found one she liked, a dark green almost like plain green. They stood back to admire their work and checked on their daughter.
"Do you want your snack before or after I give you medicine?" asked Hermione.
When Sophia heard medicine, she went under the covers.
"No medicine. I won't have it, I refoose." Said Sophia.
Hermione and Draco smiled.
"Please take it. If you have some mum will get you a really nice treat. It's not all bad." Said Draco, he too hated the medicine and remembered when Hermione forced him to take it.
Sophia pulled the covers down to her eyes and looked at them. Hermione was holding the bottle and a spoon while Draco was kneeling beside her. Sophia's silvery hazel eyes glinted mischievously.
"I'll take it." Said Sophia.
Hermione poured the red thick, creamy liquid on the spoon and placed it in her mouth while pinching her nose. When she had swallowed it Draco conjured some water and told her to drink as much as she could.
"There that wasn't so bad was it? Try and get some rest darling. I'll be downstairs if you need anything." Said Hermione, walking out.
"I'll be out for a while. Please be good and mind your mum." Said Draco kissing her chubby cheek and walking out.
Sophia grabbed her favourite prince charming rag doll and started talking to him.
"We'll get that medicine. And I'll never have to take it again. You're going to help me." Said Sophia.
The doll of course stayed quite with an annoying smile on his face. Sophia brought him closer to her and went to sleep instantly.
Hermione went to make a small mug of tea and some toast with marmalade. The tea smelled of oranges. Hermione cut a bit of lemon and took her tea and cup to the nice fluffy couch. Draco had left minutes before to give Pansy the stuff he picked up.
(Ring, ring)
Hermione got up and got the phone, it was Ginny.
"Hey Hermione, how is everything?" asked Ginny happily.
"Everything is great. Sophia's got the Measle Pox. And currently she's in bed sleeping." Said Hermione, checking behind her.
"That's horrible. I hear you're having a boy, which is great. And good news, I let Harry build that tree house for Phil the other day and now they won't come down." Said Ginny giggling.
"Yeah, my little boy just started moving around and Merlin, it hurts terribly." Said Hermione, placing a hand on the said spot.
"It'll all be over soon. So when we come over on Tuesday I'll bring something so you don't have to cook all of it yourself." Said Ginny happily.
"If you could do that, It would simply make my day. I'll be sure to rent your favourite video and favourite snacks!" Hermione said.
"Ok 'Mione, I've got to give my guys some water. I'll talk to you later. Bye." Said Ginny.
"Alright, bye." Hermione ended hanging up the phone.

"So what is she having?" asked Pansy as Draco walked into his small office.
"A boy. We're naming him Andrew Robin. At first Hermione wanted Presley, but thank goodness she changed her mind." Said Draco, sitting at his desk.
"That's wonderful news. So does she suspect anything?" asked Pansy, sitting on a blue plush chair.
"Not a thing. She's been taking care of Sophia who has Measle Pox." Said Draco, taking out his folder of work.
"Oh, that must be tough with all the other work she has to do. Awe poor Hermione." Said Pansy, smirking at the expression on Draco's face.
It was a mixture of 'yeah right' and 'you have no idea how tough she is'. Pansy soon went back to her desk and Draco got a lot of work done before Mr. Thirsten came in.
"Good morning Mr. Thirsten, can I help you with something?" asked Draco.
"From what I hear according to Lila, you're to have a boy by the name of Andrew?" he asked.
Draco nodded with a smile on his face. He hadn't gotten this much attention since he told everyone that he was getting married.
"Well I believe congratulations are in order. Care to come for a drink after work perhaps?" said Mr. Thirsten.
"I wish I could, but Hermione would blow her top if I were late. And there's nothing worse than an angry pregnant woman.
"I believe I understand. Well nice talking to you, I must be on my way." Said Mr. Thirsten turning to leave.
Pansy came in with a notebook and pen; she had to ask Draco some stuff.
"Ok, so exactly what color is Andrew's room?"
"Different shades of green. I have to work, so just call up Hermione." Said Draco, going back to his work.
Pansy nodded and called up Hermione. Being alone, besides her sick child, had made her ready to talk to anyone.
"What kind of theme are you going with?" asked Pansy.
"I want it to be Winnie the Pooh in his early stages you know. Why all of these questions?" Hermione asked.
"Just curious is all. That's about all I ne-I mean, that's all I wanted to ask." Said Pansy.
"Ok, talk you later maybe. Bye." Said Hermione.
Pansy hung up and checked over everything.
(Home)
"Your daddy has some very strange friends. Ok, time for your medicine." Said Hermione going into her room to get the bottle.
Sophia smiled evilly for she had hidden the bottle in her toy box, where Hermione never looked. Even though she was mad with fever and covered in spots, Sophia was quite clever.
"Now where did I put it. I know it was on my vanity." Hermione said frantically.
The search for the missing bottle began.
A/M: HELLO EVERYONE. SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT, I HAD HALF OF THIS FINISHED A LONG TIME AGO, I JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE WRITING MORE. 3 REVIEWS PLEASE.
