Chapter 6 – how you been?
Hermione walked along the streets of London, making her way to the posh side, a side which she hardly even visited. She could never call her self posh but she dressed in her smartest clothes for this visit. The last time she was about these parts she was running away from his apartment in a pair of tatty old work jeans and a small black well fitted top with her bra and underwear hastily shoved in her bag.
When she reached the Bank street apartments she looked up to the 34th floor, she didn't know why she did but she just had to look up. She took a deep breath and told herself not to rush because she was over 4 months pregnant.
Hermione had been to see her nurse at the local doctors surgery after she found out she was having a baby. The nurse told her that she wasn't alone in this and that there would always be help for her, she also told Hermione that she was about 4 months pregnant and she scheduled a oppointment at the hospital for a ultrasound. That was 3 weeks ago and Hermione knew she needed to go to the hospital but she kept putting it off, until that morning.
She went and she had a ultrasound done and she even got to have a picture of her baby, she wasn't told the sex but the baby was in a very healthy condition and was due in just over 4 months time making it a September baby. It been May at the moment.
So there she was, nearly 5 months pregnant, her little baby bump hardly to be seen even in her well fitting tops she wore. She had been told she was a little small for her time but there was nothing to worry about. She walked up the stairs to the 34th floor, each time she got to another floor she considered going back but didn't allow herself, what needed to be done, needed to be done and she knew this needed to be done.
There she was floor 34 and right out side his apartment door. She raised her hand to knock but then remeoved it. Again she did this but moved it. She was about to do it a third time when the door opened and there to her horror was Blaise Zabini.
"Granger?…that you?" he asked looking her up and down
"Hi Zabini" she said reluctantly
"Hey, you and me never had a quaral between us did we?" he asked
"No I guess not…err…does Draco live here still?" she asked trying to peer into his apartment.
"He does, just so happen's he's in actually. DRACO" he called
"What?" came the reply
"I think you need to come out here, some one's here to see you"
"Bring them in then please" Hermione rubbed her ears, Draco saying please, it was a miracle. Blaise moved aside and allowed her in. she made her way in to the living room and sat on the sofa.
"Draco, she's in the living room, I got to go, talk to me later" Blaise called
"See you" Draco called after Blaise. Draco walked into the living room and Hermione stood and truned round ti face him
"Hi Draco" she said shyly
"Hi. Gra-er-Hermione" he smiled and put down his papers he was holding. She smiled because he looked like he was worne out, his hair was a mess, his shirt was unbuttoned and tie loosened, his smart black trousers where a little crumpled where he had been sat for a long amount of time and he had a shoe lace undone on his right shoe. "So…how have you been?"
"Pregnant" was her only answer
"Oh that's good" he said airly
"Its yours by the way" she said kindly. Draco paled and sat down on a chair, Hermione followed and sat back down too
"Mine?"
"Yes, remember we slept together" she whispered
"I do remember, not much about the evening, but I remember you"
"I remember the same"
"I er…err…well I was going to call you"
"You were?"
"Yeah. I told Blaise and he looked you up and gave me your number and I really was going to call its just I had to go to Hong Kong the next day and ive not stopped since I got back"
"Its been nearly 5 months Draco"
"I know" there was a very arkward silence between the two "So" he spoke at last "Do you know what your doing with it?"
"Well, I believe that women should always have the choice and I have decided to make the best decision by me and the baby" Draco smiled
"I think it's a good choice. Women should always have the right to have it abort-" he was cut off because Hermione wasn't listening
"I'm keeping the baby and I'm going to raise it alone"
"What?"
"Yes alone, Draco, when the baby will be born I will be 29 years old. Its about time I started a family"
"But its my baby too"
"I'm not after you for money or anything I just wanted you to know that you have a baby and someday when he or she comes looking for you I don't want you to be all shocked and have it in for me, I know what your like remember I was on the recieveing end for 7 years" she snapped
"Fine Hermione do as you please" she stood and went to leave when he stopped her.
"Hermione, don't go" she turned and looked at him, not exactly knowing why she stopped "If the baby really is mine-"
"I'm not a common slut Malfoy, I don't sleep around with men that I hardly know" she snapped
"I know, that's not what I meant at all"
"Then what did you mean?"
"I don't want this baby to grow up with out a father, I didn't really have a father and look how I turned out" he jokingly laughed
"By the looks of things you turned out ok"
"I may do now, but it's the muggle in me…so to speek, but you remember my hogwarts days"
"I remember and I don't want my baby like that"
"Then let me be apart of this" he came closer to her and placed his hands on her shoulders, he leant his face down close to her's. gently taking her into a gently kiss. After what seemed like many hours Hermione pulled away from him.
"I don't think I can do this" she whispered but soon enough brought her self back into a kiss Draco asked for silently.
"Yes you can Hermione, we can do this"
"A baby is a big step Draco"
"I know that's why we will do it together" he kissed her cheek and she smiled and placed her head in the crook of his neck.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
A few hours later
"I cant believe we did that" she said as she opened her eyes after a long yawn. It was early evening having spent the best part of the afternoon in Draco's bed with him. Hermione knew she gave him consent and she had free will and all, but something inside of her told her that this was right, that it seemed the right thing to do, she had no idea why but she had a good feeling about this.
"It was great though weren't it?"
"It was" she ran her hands down her stomach on top of the sheets and felt her little baby bump and it was evident through the thin sheets that she was a little preganant, Draco noticed this and put his hand on top of her stomach, makining her jump a little but she relaxed when he kissed her neck and gently told her that he wanted to make a go of it all.
"But Draco we have history, we shouldn't be together, you and me were too different"
"I know, but now we have a future…. together with our baby. You want this don't you?"
"I want a family for my baby, but Draco this is me and you were talking about not the baby, you and me were never best friends at school, you know that. You know how we were"
"I know how things were between us and I'm really sorry but you must remember one thing, were having a baby together and I want to be there for our baby" Hermione nodded and looked over at him smiling. Draco pulled her closer to him right before they fell asleep in each other's arms.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Please review, it may seemed rushed, but in the film that how it went and I want it based on the film a little and I felt it was rush in the film, but this isn't as rushed other wise they would have been married in this chapter. If you have seen the film you shall know that the whole marriage and before was rushed.
Please review
