Forever Yours
Chapter Twenty-Two
Draco sat on the bed, watching Hermione sleep. She had fell asleep minutes after the baby was born, and Daniel had gone in for nurses care, so they could watch him. Draco hadn't stopped smiling since Dr. Harrison had told him bother Hermione and Daniel would be just fine. The few words were better than any he had ever heard.
"Mr. Malfoy?" Dr. Harrison called. Draco, sitting next to Hermione, with her little boy in her arms, got up. "Yes?" Draco asked, frightened of why the man would want him. "Can I see you a moment?" The doctor asked, and Draco kissed Hermione's forehead and then, stepped out of the Hospital room.
"What is it you need to talk to me about?" Draco asked, taking pauses between words, as he held back the tears that were threatening to fall. Dr. Harrison smiled. "No need to worry, Mr. Malfoy. I am pleased to tell you that both Miss Granger and her son will be just fine."
Draco couldn't believe these words. They would both be fine! Draco started jumping around, saying YES over and over again. Dr. Harrison chuckled. "Of course we will be keeping both of them over night and possibly tomorrow to make sure there are no complications of any kind." Draco nodded at the doctor's words. But despite these words that Draco heard very clearly, Draco heard other word even more clearly. Miss Granger and her son will be just fine…
Draco was taken from his thoughts as Hermione stirred. She smiled when she opened her eyes and saw his gray ones starring back at her brown ones. "Hey." Hermione said. He smiled, returning hers. "Hey." He said back. "How's Daniel doing?" Hermione asked, eyes closed. Draco watched her as she yawned. Apparently she was still tired. "He is doing great. The nurses and doctor told me he is doing much better than he should be, and that you guys might be able to go home tomorrow." Draco told her.
Hermione's smile grew wider. "Thank you for choosing what you did. If I didn't have Daniel I don't know what I would do." Hermione told him. "I don't know what I would have done with out him either, or you." Draco said, kissing her fore head. Hermione's smile faded slightly. "Draco," she started, looking at the door to the hospital room, "thank you for everything. You've been a great help, and I know your not the biological daddy, but-" Hermione was cut off by a nurse entering the room.
"Mr. Malfoy?" The nurse asked. Draco sighed. He had been getting tired of hearing that name. "Yes?" Draco asked, getting off the bed. "I'm very sorry to bother you, but I need you do sign these papers." The nurse told him. "Why do I have to sign these papers?" Draco asked, walking over to the woman in blue and taken the pen from her.
"Well, it is mandatory that one of the parents sign the birth forms." The nurse told him, a little confused by his question. Draco sighed, not signing the forms she placed on the small table. "Does it have to be the biological parent?" Draco asked, tears coming to his eyes. The nurse nodded. "Is that a problem, Mr. Malfoy?" The nurse asked, confused.
Hermione wasn't sure what to say. Draco was pratically crying. She knew how much he wanted the baby to be his, how much he needed Daniel to be his. She looked from Draco to the nurse. Hermione wasn't sure what the nurse was confused about more; why he asked the question, or why he started crying when it was answered?
Draco cleared his throat. "Yes, it is a problem. I am not Daniel's biological father. You'll have to have his mother sign the forms." Draco said, forcing a smile. If possible the nurse looked even more confused. "Are you not Draco Malfoy?" She asked, squinting her eyes. "Yes, I am, but what does that have to do with anything?" He asked, getting angry. "The records state here that you are Daniel Granger's birth father." The nurse told him. Draco looked as though he'd been hit by the Knight Bus. "What are you talking about?" Draco asked, almost strangling the nurse, waiting for the answer.
"We matched the DNA taking from Daniel Granger for his test to the ones that were taken from a Draco Malfoy nearly to decades ago. According to our record you and your mother were here when you were born. The DNA matches, Mr. Malfoy. Our magic is never wrong. If you are indeed Mr. Malfoy, Daniel Granger is indeed your biological son. There is no other possible father. Like I said, our magic is never wrong and it tells us you are the father. So if you would please sign here." She said.
Draco was starring wide-eyed at the nurse, as well as Hermione. "You- you mean, he's mine?" Draco asked, not being able to comprehend the nurse's previous words. "That's right, Mr. Malfoy."
Draco literally started jumping up and down again, like he had done earlier that day. He hugged the nurse, and signed the papers. He continued jumping up and down. The nurse left the happy man alone with the woman he loved. He went over to Hermione, who was smiling and crying at the same time.
"You hear that Hermione? Daniel is my baby! Our baby…"
A/N:
I think I will do one more chapter. I'm not sure if I want to end it there… Anyway, I hope you guys are happy! Please review! And expect the next chapter soon!
Someone asked me what color eyes he has. The answer is blue, of course the last chapter any reader could have thought it was Ron's baby. J.K. Rowling stated that Ron's eyes are blue. But the truth is out. DRACO IS THE FATHER!
