Chapter 12- homecoming
"That will be twenty-two pounds please, not including tip" said a balding Asian taxi driver as he approached Draco's house.
"Here you go, keep the change" he handed the taxi driver twenty-five pounds and got out of the car, taking his luggage with him.
The car drove off and Draco walked to his front door. Over the last few weeks he had been thinking more and more of Hermione. His business trip had gone well and he managed to secure several rich clients for the firm he worked for but even the feeling that he had probably managed to add severed zero's to his bank balance because of the tip couldn't make him happy.
On the day that Hermione had been due she was all he could think about, had she gone into labour weeks before, or was she sat around reading her books happily thinking and waiting for the baby to come or was she in labour right now. Was she even in labour as he opened the door? These where the questions that ran trough his head all the time.
He turned the key and walked into his house, placed his luggage at the bottom of the stairs and walked into the kitchen
"Home then?" came a female voice. Draco looked up to see Ginny Potter sat at the kitchen table
"What are you doing here?" he asked
"Came to see you"
"For what, is Hermione ok?"
"Oh she's fine, doing really well so is the baby"
"She's had it then?"
"Yeah a week after you left, both mother and-"
"Don't, I want to see them"
"Hermione and Isabelle don't want to see you"
"Who is Isabelle?"
"Your daughter"
"I got a girl" he said softly
"You have, but I must be going, Hermione will be needing me to help her with the feeding….tricking thing to be doing by your self" and with that said she apparated out leaving a sullen Draco to think about his mistake.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Did you see him?" Hermione asked as she fed the baby
"Yes, I think he even regrets leaving you"
"You know he didn't leave me, I left him"
"No Hermione he left you, he was leaving you to go to America, you didn't do anything wrong honey"
"I want to see him Ginny, do you think he will want to see me?"
"You know I do" Draco said, both Hermione and Ginny jumped and turned round to see Draco stood behind them in the kitchen
"Don't you know its rude and illegal to come into peoples houses without them knowing" Ginny snapped, "Wait, how did you get in?"
"I apparated"
"You used magic?" Hermione asked, stunned that he after all he went through to put a end to it all actually used magic
"I needed to see you and this is a muggle protected house, you cant find it unless your looking for it and you cant look for it unless you use magic" Draco said "Is that Isabelle?" he noticed the baby in Hermione's arms, she didn't look much like a baby and longer, after all she was over 3 months old
"Yes, Isabelle Malfoy" Hermione smiled at Draco
"She looks just like me"
"She does….Ginny can we have a moment please"
"Sure, you know where to find me if you need me" Ginny apparated out.
"So... how you been?" Draco asked as he sat down next to Hermione
"Not pregnant this time" she laughed
"No" he whispered
"Something bothering you?" she asked
"Hermione I'm so sorry-"
"I doesn't matter Draco"
"I love you"
"I love you too" he leaned to her and kissed her cheek "you know, I wasn't going to forgive you so easily, you really hurt me Draco and at a time when I really needed you, you weren't there, you really don't know how much hurt and pain I was going through, it was only when Izzy was born that I realised that I truly loved you and needed you but I still wasn't going to come back to you that easily"
"But you have?"
"Yes I have, I love you and want to be with you"
"You know what Hermione? I promise never to love money more than you or my daughter…. can I hold her?"
Hermione smiled and nodded as she handed over Isabella to Draco.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
