Hermione couldn't help but laugh to see her husband's face as his mother walked past them and into their daughter's nursery where she was crying in her crib. He gave her a quick glare before rushing off after his mother to persuade her to take a vacation to an American beach for a few weeks. Narcissa would hear none of it.

Later that week, after Narcissa had taken residence in the extra bedroom, she really began to annoy Draco. Hermione and her mother-in-law on the other hand, were as thick as thieves and spent a lot of time together. Possibly more than Draco could stand.

One night Draco confronted his wife about it. "Hermione, dear."

The brunette looked up from her book, "yes?"

"I think that we should get my mother to move out, maybe take a vacation to a spa somewhere, preferably a few continents away."

Hermione laughed, "Draco, you know you're mother won't leave, besides, she doesn't seem all that bad, and she's been helping out a lot with Haley."

"She's my mother! I've had to live with her for 18 years, I don't want to have to go through this all over again, especially in my own home!" Color was rising in Draco's pale cheeks as his voice went up as well.

"Draco! Your mother is a welcome guest in our home and I will hear no more about it!" Hermione said in a huff, getting up and storming out of the room.

That night, when Draco went to go to sleep, Hermione was already in bed. The door to their bedroom was locked, and there was a blanket and pillow laying outside the door. Since there were only two beds in the house, Draco sighed and floated the blanket out to the couch to go to sleep.

"I wonder if this will affect our sex life?" He wondered aloud before drifting off to sleep. *A/N…ugh…men….had to put that tho, sorry!*

The next morning, Hermione and Narcissa went out shopping with Haley for the day, since it was a Sunday, Draco lounged around the house and did a little reading.

"So, he doesn't want me to live with you any more dear?" Narcissa said with a frown at the café Hermione and her were eating at for lunch.

"Yes, but you're still welcome. I made him sleep on the couch last night, I think he got the message." Hermione smiled at her mother-in-law.

"Oh you are perfectly devious darling!" Narcissa squealed. Hermione never thought that Draco's mother could be this perky, especially after the way Draco used to act, and the way that Lucius had been.

"I figured he would realize I was mad at him if I made him sleep on the couch, its very uncomfortable too, I'm sure he woke up with a bad back." She smiled. She had even set a spell on the blanket to make it itchy, but she thought telling Narcissa that would have been going too far.

"I never slept a night without Lucius unless he wasn't at the house." She frowned and furrowed her brow before looking down at Haley who was sleeping in her stroller. "She's so beautiful."

"Thank you," Hermione smiled, watching her daughter's chest rise and fall with her breathing.

"Even though Draco may seem hot-headed, he's nothing compared to his father. Lucius had a horrible temper." Narcissa shook her head and looked away from Hermione. This was the first time Narcissa had spoken of her late husband since she had moved into the house.

"I know…I know." Hermione said softly, taking Narcissa's cold hand from across the table.

When Hermione and Narcissa got home, Draco was nowhere to be found, but there was a large bouquet of roses sitting on the kitchen table with a card.

Hermione,

I'm sorry I was so bull headed, my mother can stay as long as she needs to. I've gone out for a little bit, I should be home around dinner time.

Love Always,

Draco

"Well, looks like he didn't like sleeping on the couch," Hermione laughed as she inhaled the sweet scent of the roses.

"That's my boy, always knows how to get back on a woman's good side," Narcissa levitated the vase and flowers over to the kitchen window. "There, they'll get more sun there." She smiled.

That night Hermione fixed roast beef for dinner, and Draco came home just around the time it was about to be served. He was carrying a box behind his back, nothing large, just a small box.

"This is for you." He smiled, handing Hermione the box. It was black wrapped with a silver ribbon. She opened it. Inside was a beautiful dragon-hide photo album with all their wedding photo's. A beaming Hermione and Draco waved back along with all of their friends from Hogwarts. Hermione wiped a tear from her eye.

"Oh thank you Draco, its amazing!" She squealed, hugging him tightly and kissing him soundly on the lips.

"I love you Hermione." He whispered.

"Je t'adore aussi." (I love you too) She smiled at her husband and then looked around the room, her mother-in-law had taken Haley to her bedroom to change her so she kissed Draco again with a little more passion.

That night, the couple slept together again, not doing much sleeping though, but Hermione was in for a surprise the next morning, something she wasn't exactly expecting.
