Hi all! I hope you liked the last chapter, so now for a new one. I don't own anything so please don't ask but some characters and places belong to none other than yours truly.
Since Sophia was well enough for school and Draco had to go to work; Hermione, Ginny, and Jill went out for breakfast.
"I have this great idea, how about we get jobs or something?" stated Hermione, while they were driving down the street.
"That would be kind of fun, except I'm not too good with jobs." Said Jill.
"Well I know I could probably work at the Twins' joke shop or at the Three Broomsticks." Said Ginny.
"I'd like to work where I could be a big help. I could work in an office or in THAT DINER RIGHT THERE!" exclaimed Hermione, pointing at a cute diner right at the corner.
They walked in and there was a sign saying that they needed a new waitress for a few hours in the morning and afternoon. Hermione jumped at the chance to get the job. So she filled out the form and would start work the next morning. The girls ate and went to look for Jill's best line of work.
(2 hours later)
"How about at the video store. You've seen like every movie there and could be a big help?" questioned Ginny.
Jill took the offer and got excepted. Ginny already knew the twins would have to give her a job so they didn't bother going. After dropping her friends off, Hermione went to visit her parents.

"Hi darling! I've missed you!" exclaimed Daphnie, taking her up in a big motherly hug.
"I've missed you both too. Where is dad by the way?" asked Hermione, looking around.
"He went to visit Sabrina, she's got the flu and I couldn't go so he went for me. I see you've gotten bigger." Said Daphine, admiring her daughter.
"Just six more months and I'll have my boy. I got a job today." Hermione said happily.
Daphine sat down next to her daughter and allowed Hermione to rest her head on her lap and Daphine ran her fingers through her hair softly. (My sort-of mommy used to do that to me.)
"That's wonderful sweetheart. Does Draco know yet?" asked Daphine.
"No, I'm going to tell him when he gets home from work tonight. Oh, did you notice my improved locket?" asked Hermione happily.
Daphine examined it and noticed the stones and smiled.
"Your husband spoils you. You were very lucky to find such a great friend when you did." Daphine said softly.
"Well mum, not everyone can have great husbands like ours can they?" questioned Hermione, smiling brightly.
Daphine thought this over for a moment and giggled.
"No, they can't. Want some cookies, I'm afraid I made too many." Said Daphine standing up, after Hermione sat up.
Hermione followed her mum into the kitchen and saw the yummy sugar cookies sitting, still warm on the baking sheet.
"I know you want some, so please help yourself. I was going to bring them over today." Said Daphine, giggling at Hermione.
Hermione stayed for about an hour. Before she left Simon came home. She had just enough time to give him a hug and kiss before rushing to pick Sophia up.
(School)
Sophia was standing under the porch with her cute transparent raincoat and blue boots. The rain came down harder as Hermione drove up.
"Mumma where were you. I was almost the last one there!" exclaimed Sophia, her cheeks turning red from the cold rain.
"I'm sorry darling, I truly am. I went to visit my mum today, I got you and daddy some cookies." Said Hermione, driving quickly through the rain.
Sophia no longer mad at her mom ate one and took a sip of warm tea. When they got home Sophia threw all of her things on the floor and ran upstairs. Hermione was left behind to pick them up.
"Hey Hermione. What did you do today?" asked Draco, leading her to the couch with him.
"I went to breakfast with Ginny and Jill and I went to visit mum. And I got a job! Isn't that great?" Hermione said kind of quickly, sitting on Draco's lap.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Working isn't all that great, you'll be terribly busy." Draco said, hoping to talk her out of it.
"I can do anything. I'm Hermione remember." Said Hermione happily.
"Fine, when something happens don't come crying to me." Draco said, in an offhand voice.
They argued for a while until Hermione got up and went into the kitchen to make dinner.
"I'll be at work only in the morning and an hour into the afternoon then I'll come home. Every other day except for tomorrow, so you'll be home alone." Said Hermione, stirring a pot of Puttanesca sauce.
Sophia came running into the kitchen holding up a picture of the three of them. Hermione took it and looked the cute picture over. There was Draco, her, and Sophia and Hermione guessed that the little blue dot was Andrew.
"This is wonderful sweetheart. You did this all by yourself?" asked Draco, picking her up.
"Yeah, we had to paint pictures of our families and this is mine." Said Sophia, playing with her loose tooth.
"Seems as though that loose tooth is giving you a lot of trouble. Let me see what I can do." Said Hermione.
Hermione reached up and tugged on Sophia's loose tooth gently. When she opened her hand there was a small tooth sitting in her hand.
"Wow, my tooth came out! Now the Tooth Fairy is coming!" exclaimed Sophia.
"And soon you'll get big girl teeth. Go wash your hands and come back down for dinner please." Said Draco, putting her down.
Sophia ran upstairs while Draco set the table and Hermione put the tooth in a safe place. While checking on the bread in the oven, Draco spun Hermione around and kissed her softly.
"We didn't greet properly." Said Draco.
Hermione smiled and went to put the food in everyone's bowl. Dinner was expressed as well and for dessert the sugar cookies that Daphnie had made. Hermione and Draco went to tuck Sophia in and Hermione had to stay behind to tell her a story.
"What story was it this time?" asked Draco, sitting under the covers shirtless.
"Beauty and the Beast. She seems to be favoring that lately. Oh, the furniture is coming tomorrow. Will you set it up for me?" asked Hermione, getting into bed.
"Of course. And yes I know where you want everything to go." Said Draco closing his book.
Hermione looked over at Draco while resting her head on her hand. Hermione reached up and ran her finger down the side of his face and across his lips.
"You're so totally adorable. How did no other girl get to you first?" said Hermione smiling.
"Because they're not you." Draco said with a smirk.
After a few moments silence Draco turned and tickled Hermione until they both couldn't breathe. Soon they went to sleep for an hour or two until Hermione felt someone watching her.
Draco turned on the light and Sophia was standing next to the bed in cute yellow pj's. A long sleeved shirt with a blue star, long baggy pants with lots of little blue stars and yellow socks with a star on the fold over.
"What's wrong sweetie?" asked Hermione sitting up.
"I'm afraid of the Tooth Fairy. And my Prince Charming doll isn't any help." Sophia stated, her bottom lip trembling.
"Do you want to sleep with us?" asked Draco, remembering what his parents had done.
Sophia nodded and crawled in-between her parents. Hermione kissed Sophia's forehead and rubbed her back soothingly until she fell asleep. The next morning Hermione woke up and got dressed in comfortable pants and a tight blue shirt due to her rounding stomach.
"I'll be home soon. Bye." Said Hermione, kissing Draco goodbye as she and Sophia got into her car.
(Diner)
"Ok Hermione this is your nametag and you're welcome to wear whatever you want to work, except anything revealing. I'm Betty and you have every three tables, this is your order pad and apron, worship these." Said Betty, the lady behind the cash register.
"Thanks." Said Hermione going over to her first table.
It looked like a bunch of collage guys. (This was a Muggle diner)
"Hi, I'm Hermione. I'll be your waitress this morning, what can I get you to drink?" Hermione said, looking around the table.
"Well I don't know about anything to drink but I would like a bite of you. I'm Sean by the way." Said the guy.
Trying to ignore them, Hermione continued.
"What would you like to drink?" asked Hermione again, her cheeks turning red.
"You're awfully beautiful you know, I'm Chris." Said the guy next to Sean.
"My husband and daughter think so too. You know what, I don't care if you are a paying customer. I'm not taking this anymore!" said Hermione, walking away.
"Something wrong Hermione? Your face is really flustered." Said Betty, ringing up someone's check.
"Just them. I'm alright though, don't tell me they're the kind of people who come by everyday." Asked Hermione.
"They come every other day. Lucky you, you only got to see them today. I'll take that table and you can move on to another one." Said Betty, taking an order pad.
Hermione thanked her and continued on with her day. It went by extremely fast, maybe it was because she was always needed. When she was at home and all the work was done Hermione had noting to do except wait. Soon it was time to go home.
(Home)
"Draco honey, I'm home." Said Hermione, when she came inside.
There was no answer. Hermione put all her stuff away and walked outside. Draco was riding that one wild horse around the valley. Draco had gotten the horse broken in when Sophia was born for her safety. Hermione walked up to him and petted the horse named Rusty.
"How did work go?" asked Draco, hoping down.
"It was extremely tiring but I have to go back tomorrow for regular schedule." Said Hermione.
Hermione stood on her toes to kiss him and they walked in together. She then told Draco all about work and the people she met. When Hermione got to the part about the guys Draco's temper got the better of him.
"Sweetie, It's alright. I don't have to be around them anymore because they come in on the days that I'm off. If you want to talk with them, fine but no wands or anything. They're Muggles." Said Hermione, taking off her shoes.
"If that's what you want. Oh, I've got something to show you." Said Draco, leading Hermione upstairs.
They went up to Andrew's room and Hermione looked around. Everything was cherry wood and smelled kind of good. The crib was set up against the window and had Winnie the Pooh sheets and a cute mobile of honey jars and bees. There was also a nice rocking chair and changing table. There currently were no clothes and other baby things because you normally get them at a baby shower.
The Shower would take place, when Hermione got off work the next day.
