Forever yours

Chapter Twenty Three

"Oh, Miss Granger! He is beautiful!" Professor McGonagall cried, standing above Hermione who was on the a Hospital bed. Once the first hospital told Hermione she was well enough to come to Hogwarts and wait in the Hospital Wing there, she gladly excepted. Hermione and Professor McGonagall kept talking about Daniel, what Hogwarts might be like when he comes there, and how proud of Hermione Professor McGonagall was.

Dumbledore and Draco stood at the bottom of the bed, and hadn't said a word to one another. "Have you spoke to your family, Draco?" Dumbledore asked him. Draco shook his head, "No, sir." Dumbledore frowned. "Well why not? Your mother will be thrilled!" Draco sighed. "My mother will be, yes. My father won't be." Draco told him.

Dumbledore sighed, and looked at the boy. "No he wouldn't be, but it doesn't matter because he is in Azkaban and when he finally gets out he will be too old to move a finger." Dumbledore assured him. Draco put on a small smile, and just watched as Hermione continued talking to and about Daniel. Draco felt a hand touch his back, and he whipped his head around to see who had touched him. It was Severus Snape. "How is your son?" Snape asked. "He's doing good, crying and everything." Draco chuckled once he said this. "And Miss Granger, how is she?" Snape asked, looking at the girl with a small bundle in her arms. "She is doing well too, still a little sore, but that's to be expected." Draco told him.

Snape sighed. "Draco, I didn't come here to talk about anyone but you," he began to say, Draco looked at him, "I wanted to tell you how proud of you I have become. Throughout this whole event. I never would have believed seven years ago that you would have a son, who is a half-blood, and loved a woman who is muggle born! You are nothing like your father, Draco, despite what some people might say. I think its important that you know it and that you know that me, Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Hermione, and your son will know it." Snape embraced Draco, who had tears form in his eyes. It was the first sign of love Snape had eve shown to anyone since his mother died.

They pulled away when Daniel started to fuss. Madam Pomfrey came rushing to the bed. "Well, Miss Granger, would you like to try breast-feeding once more? I think he is hungry." She told Hermione, who was nodding. Draco walked around the bed to where Hermione was, and sat down next to her, as she tried to get Daniel to feed.

Daniel continued to fuss, but when Draco gently drew circles on his belly with a finger he settled down and began to have his first meal. Draco and Hermione smiled at the little baby. "You decided to breast-feed?" Professor McGonagall asked. Hermione nodded. "We were thinking about doing it before this little guy came. But the nurse had told us that do to what happened it was a must that he got the best nutrition, and this was it." Hermione told them.

Once their teachers left the Hospital Wing, and Hermione finished feeding Daniel, she began to doze off. "Hermione, wait," Draco asked, and Hermione opened her eyes again, "Hermione… having Daniel made me realize that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to finish school, I want to have more children and I want to grow old some day. But I don't want to do anything without you. Hermione Jane Granger, please promise to spend the rest of your life with me. Hermione Jane Granger, will you marry me?" Draco asked, tears in his eyes, taking out the small ring box and giving the ring to Hermione.

Hermione was crying, tears of joy. "Of course I will marry you." Draco placed the ring on her finger and kissed it. Draco brought Hermione down against his chest for sleeping.

Hermione lifted her head off his head. "Draco, I promise I will never hurt you." She told him, tears in her eyes. Draco gave her a said smile. "I know, but just to make sure everything is true… Miss Granger- future Mrs. Malfoy, why is it you will never hurt me?" He asked, smiling at her. "Because," she said, through a sob, "Me and Our Baby are Forever Yours." Hermione smiled, and like always, Draco smiled back.

They were both exhausted. Draco was nearly asleep when he heard the words, "I love you, Draco."

Draco kissed the top of her head. "I love you, Hermione."

Draco held Hermione the same way he had always desired to; in his arms, with the feeling that's she was never leaving him…

A/N: That's it. I am very upset it is over, but it is time that Hermione and Draco and Daniel have some privacy. This was my very first story I wrote, and I am very happy with all the reviews and e-mails and basically all the support I received from you guys.

When Draco was talking about her hurting him I was talking about what she did to him with Ron in the beginning. They never really patched that hole…

I don't plan on doing a sequel, but if I get many reviews asking, I might think about it. As long as you guys would like one. Please review! Thankyou all of you!
