A/N> This is short, but I found it quite amusing to write so please enjoy and review if you want!
The next few days, Draco and Hermoine avoided each other. Hermoine felt very uncomfortable with her new stomach that was the size of a watermelon, and it felt like the weight of one too.
When Hermoine woke up on Friday, September 12th she saw Draco standing by their notice board, his jaw dropped slightly as he continued to read a notice on it.
"What are you reading?" she asked, the first words that had been said between the two of them for many days.
Draco merely pointed to the noticed, too shocked to speak.
"All sixth and seventh years are to go to the Great Hall on Saturday, September 13th at 7:00 pm for their first Lamaze class. Both husbands and wives are to be there, and if this is missed, unless you have a good excuse, detentions will be handed out. –Professor McGonagall"
Hermoine's eyes were wide with shock after reading it. She sat down on the couch and started having another one of her famous hot flashes that she had been having lately.
"Draco, could you get me a glass of water please?" Hermoine asked, but he didn't reply. He seemed to be stuck to the floor in shock.
"What's Lamaze?" he asked Hermoine.
She chortled. "You mean to tell me that you're panicking over something that you know nothing about?" she asked.
"Well the name doesn't sound right!" he exclaimed.
Hermoine doubled over with laughter. "You're pathetic, you know that?"
Hermoine then went to her room and came back out with a book. She handed it to Draco.
"The Joys of Pregnancies and Lamaze?" he asked her while raising an eyebrow.
Hermoine grinned. "This way I don't die laughing while trying to explain every little thing to you" she said.
Draco smirked. "Well I told you. It's not my fault if my parents decided to tell me nothing about pregnant women."
Hermoine laughed. "Well you see, Draco, there's this little thing called sexual intercourse, otherwise known as sex, where the man inserts his…"
"I know what sex is!" Draco shouted. "And I know how women get pregnant, I just don't know how they deal with it or go through with the pregnancy."
"Now Draco," Hermoine said while putting an arm around his shoulder and sitting him down. She tried hard to contain her laughter. "When the baby is ready to be born it comes out of the woman's…"
"God Woman! I understand that part!" Draco shouted.
"Ah" Hermoine said suddenly and clutched her stomach.
Draco looked at her, confused at what she had said 'Ah' for. "What was that for?" he asked.
Hermoine rolled her eyes. "YOUR, yes your baby just kicked. I suppose you don't know what that means either?"
Draco just stared at her. He was really hating her at that moment. "I hate you" he finally said.
She grinned. "That's what I'm going for" she said.
She then took his hand and moved it onto her enlarged stomach. "What are you doing?" he asked her. "Shh just wait" she said.
Then Draco felt a quick pressure come from Hermoine's stomach, as if the baby were punching her from the inside. The color drained from his face. He just realized there was something alive and living inside of Hermoine that she had to put up with for the next two months.
"Well?" Hermoine asked. She noticed he was paler than usual. "What's wrong with you?" she asked him.
Draco shook his head for a moment. "N-nothing" he stuttered. "Just not feeling that well."
Hermoine purse her lips. She wasn't going to believe that for a moment.

Lamaze Class
Hermoine and Draco walked in to find many mats set up with pillows on them.
"What are those for?" Draco whispered to Hermoine who just rolled her eyes.
"You really are pathetic" she said. "Didn't you read the book I gave you?"
"The lady on the cover with her shirt rolled up so I could see her stomach with her belly button stick out scared me so I put it back in your room" he told her.
Hermoine sighed. "Stay out of my room Malfoy" she said.
He grinned. "Why? Dirty little secrets hidden away in there?" he asked.
"That's none of your business" she muttered to him.
'Note to self' Draco thought 'Make sure to go in Hermoine's room more often'.
Dumbledore and McGonagall stood at the head table. "Would each couple please choose a mat please?" McGonagall said.
There was a scurry to get mats. Draco and Hermoine took one near the back of the room, Draco a little nervous of what to come.

After Lamaze Class
"I think I'm scarred for life" Draco said as he and Hermoine left the Great Hall an hour and a half later.
"Just because you saw my sticky up belly button?" she looked at him as though he had issues.
Draco nodded. "It's too strange. It should not be seen by anyone! Not even by you! It's too abnormal!"
"Oh get used to it!" Hermoine said. "We have to do this every Saturday night now do you'll be seeing it every week."
Draco made a retching noise and Hermoine hit him lightly on the side of the head.
"See you tomorrow" he said and departed for his room once he reached the common room.
Hermoine lay down on her bed, thoughts swarming around. Lately she and Draco had been getting along and that scared her slightly. She sighed and changed into her pajamas. She stifled a yawn, turned out the lights and crawled under the covers. She was too tired to think of all of this right now. She'd deal with it tomorrow.
