A/N: About a week ago a poll was posted here. I wrote the results down and asked people to continue voting. Well, they did, and the poll is closed. The results are in. Even though, you won't find out the name, or the sex of the baby until next chapter, I wanted you guys to review. I can't save this on my computer. I used to have a old computer that I could use 3 1/2 floppy disk with, but this one I can't. Once I buy the things I need to save it on, I will. I just hope nothing happens in the mean time to Anyway, on with the story!
Forever Yours
Chapter Nineteen
"Mr. Malfoy?" A voice came from the door. Draco turned his head and stood up. "Yes?" The nurse looked uneasy. She forced a smile. "Well, Mr. Malfoy, you are aware of the situation, are you not?" Draco looked to the ground. What was this nurse getting at? "Yes, is there something wrong?"
"I'm afraid there is, Mr. Malfoy." She paused and sighed. "The situation has worsened." She paused again, but Draco wanted to know what was wrong, and went over to her. "What do you mean the situation has worsened?"
"I mean Mr. Malfoy, what ever what wrong when you used the Floo Network to get here, is causing the baby to detach from Miss Granger completely." The nurse stared at Draco, as he let the words sink in. "What does that mean- I mean the-the baby and her will be alright, won't they?" Draco's fear had come true. He might actually lose the only woman he had ever cared for.
"I'm afraid not." The nurse tried to continued, but Draco kicked the table that held food on it. "Mr. Malfoy." the witch said, cleaning up the mess with her wand, "please sit down and allow me to explain to you the options." She held her clipboard, waiting for a reply, but nothing came. "Mr. Malfoy?"
"I can stand." He said simply.
"I won't say anything until you sit." The nurse said, reminding Draco at how bossy Hermione could easily be. Draco sat, reluctantly. "Good, now. Mr. Malfoy, being in a situation as Miss Granger's is very rare, however, not impossible. The last time we had a situation like that was with-"
"My mother." Draco said.
"Yes, however there is a difference. With the situation your mother was in, we were able to save you both." She gave Draco a moment. It was hard for Draco to understand what she was saying.
"So. You want me to chose if Hermione or the baby shall live, then?" Draco asked, anger in his voice. He knew the answer to the question, but not the question in his heart. How could he choose? He loved Hermione, he loved the baby. "I can't choose." Draco said, tears in his eyes.
"The are two options, Mr. Malfoy." The nurse told him. Draco looked up at her. "The first on is, the baby or Miss Granger. You chose between them, which one you want to be saved."
Draco stared at her, he'd rather die than have to chose something that decides the fate of a seventeen-year-old girl, who is still the baby of her parents, or the fate of a little baby that wasn't even given a chance to live.
"What's the second option?" Draco asked, impatiently. The nurse side and walked closer to Draco. "The second option is more risky." The nurse stared at Draco and he stared back. Why did the nurse keep stopping? Was there a hidden camera? Was it for drama?
"What do you mean?" Draco asked, cautiously. "I mean, either we save both of them, or we lose both of them. You see, Mr. Malfoy, we can make Miss Granger go into labor, even though a month early, and save the baby. In order to do that Miss Granger will be woken up. Even though that sounds like a good choice, Mr. Malfoy, there is danger that comes with it. Miss Granger, after she gives birth, will lose much blood. She has already lost much and after birth, since her labor will be forced, she will lose much more than normal women in normal labor. Its not just the Mother either. The baby is at risk too. The baby is a month early, and it won't just be a premature baby, but it may be stillbirth. If it is, Miss Granger, will lose too much blood. If it isn't they have both been saved. It is up to you, Mr. Malfoy."
Draco thought much on the subject. "The second one."
The nurse looked shocked.
Draco walked over to Hermione, his left hand on her belly and right hand on her forehead, pushing back the bit of hair that had fallen in her face. Draco smiled. "Mommy's a fighter," he paused looking from Hermione's face, to her belly, "and I know this baby takes after mommy."
A/N 2: Please don't hate me for leaving it here. If you review the next chapter will come sooner. I wrote this in as Chapter Twenty, however only so that everyone would be e-mailed of its update. I will delete the previous one shortly. PLEASE REVIEW!
I know the whole situation doesn't make much sense, but it's a fan fiction and you can pretty much make up anything. I'm no doctor so everything from stillbirth to losing too much blood is only in my mind as what I think could happen. If you understand that.
I do feel for those parents who have lost their babies in similar situations. I can only imagine what it could be like for them and I pray that I will never go through that.
