A/N: Thank you everyone for NOT getting upset with Hermione being pregnant! I don't think I received one upset review, well at least not upset about Hermione being pregnant. I did, however, receive a lovely (sarcasm) review from our dear, anonymous, old friend "Paris". Those of you faithful reviewers who have been with me since the "Mudblood" trilogy will remember Paris, she left a flame for pretty much every chapter and now I'm absolutely thrilled (another hint of sarcasm) to hear from her again…anyhoo, thank you all (exception of Paris) so much for supporting me and my plot! BooBack— Thank for the e-mail back! I own "Mystery Men" so I know exactly who "The Waffler" is haha! I never knew that was Dane Cook though! I live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, by the way. ON WITH THE STORY!

Chap. 32 Telling Them

Draco was absolutely ecstatic to go to Quidditch practice the next morning and explain why he couldn't be at practice the day before. The night before he insisted Hermione get good rest and not wake up every morning to say goodbye to him like she usually did. Hermione, all though she liked saying goodbye, did not protest she did indeed feel like she needed more rest. Draco also requested Hermione not to tell Ginny or Harry about the baby, because he wanted to tell "Potter" at practice the next day.

So that next day, Friday, Draco kissed Hermione goodbye whilst she slept and headed off to the moor. He decided to apparate since it was much quicker. He appeared outside the locker rooms a few minutes early even. He waltzed inside swinging his broom jovially as he walked. His teammates noticed the extra skip in his stride.

'Umm, hey, Draco, where were you yesterday?' asked one of his teammates.

Draco pretended not to hear him. He couldn't surpress the wide grin on his face when he moved over to his locker, next to Harry.

'How's 'Mione?' Harry quickly asked.

'Oh, she'll be throwing up for quite some time.' Draco said nonchalantly.

'What? Did you bring her to St. Mungo's? Was it something she ate?'

'We'll eventually have to bring her to St. Mungo's.' Draco replied changing from his everyday robes to his Quidditch robes.

'Well, bloody hell, Malfoy! If she's so sick why isn't she at Mungo's?' Harry asked, a little more passionately this time. 'How come she's throwing up so much?'

'Well,' Draco began, 'that's normally what women do when they are pregnant.'

Harry was about to criticize Draco for being so laid back about Hermione's illness, but then he realized what he said.

'Hermione's going to have a baby!' Harry asked, not exactly sure if he heard him correctly.

'Yup! The Malfoy line lives on!' Draco exclaimed.

Harry dropped his broom, along with his jaw.

'I can't believe it! 'Mione's so small! How is she going to-I mean-how?-when?' Harry started muttering, but then regained control of his mouth again. He extended his hand out to Draco, 'I guess congratulations are in order!'

Draco shook his happily.

'Thanks, Potter! Did you want to stop by after practice? It killed 'Mione when I told her that she had to wait to tell Ginny so I could tell you first at practice. She wanted to call you too, but I refused. It's hard refusing the request of a beautiful woman carrying your child.'

'I bet! So, how far along is she?' Harry asked.

'Okay, team, move out onto the field!' Walker yelled into the locker rooms.

The players shuffled their way out, Harry and Draco talking the entire walk.

'She's a month and a half along, actually.'

Harry paused in his step.

'What! You and Hermione have kept this from me for a month and a half!' He exclaimed.

'NO! Hermione kept it from me for a week and a half! She didn't know for the first few weeks that she was even pregnant, I just found out last night.'

'Oh…wow…how can a woman not know she's pregnant? Aren't there signs and stuff?'

'Yeah, she threw up a while ago but we both thought it was from this new restaurant we went to. The side effects and shit are really going to start kicking in…she's not moody yet though thank god.'

Harry laughed thinking about Draco's future with Hermione in the next 8 months…its going to be hell.

'Well, if you get stressed out from Hermione, don't call me, Malfoy.'

'Oh, thanks Potter. You're a true friend.' Draco said sarcastically.

Harry just laughed and flew up to his position above the field, Draco followed suit.

After practice, Draco announced to the rest of the team about Hermione. The guys pat him on the back, said an assortment of crude congratulations about his sperm working, and then went separate ways, Harry and Draco, however, left together.

'You didn't drive or anything here did you?' Draco asked Harry.

'Nah, apparated.'

'Good, we can just apparate to the Manor then…Hermione might be sleeping…hopefully she is actually, she needs rest, but knowing her she is probably giving the house-elves a "union" speech.' Draco said with a chuckle.

They both appeared in the foyer of the Manor.

'Let me go see if she's upstairs,' Draco told Harry.

'No need!' A voice called from the library.

'Not only is she awake, she's in the library…straining her eyes.' Draco said to Harry half-jokingly.

'Who are you talking to?' Hermione called.

Harry followed Draco to the library.

'Harry!' Hermione cried happily.

She jumped up, ran over to Harry and hugged him.

''Mione! I can't believe you are going to have a baby!'

'It was definitely a shock, I was so scared when I found out,' Hermione told him, releasing from the hug, 'but Draco made me feel a lot better about it after I told him.'

She then smiled at her husband, who then walked over to her and kissed her cheek.

'How late did you sleep in?' Draco asked her.

'That's the first thing you say to me? You've been gone all day and you don't even say, "How was your day?" or "It's nice to see you." Or "You look nice today." Or "Good afternoon, my love." No, nothing! You ask how long I slept.' Hermione said in an irritated tone.

Draco just grinned at her.

'Hermione, my love, I know you are just trying to make me feel guilty so that when you tell me you woke up early I won't be upset.'

Hermione didn't respond.

'What time did you wake up?' Draco asked, grin still on his face.

Hermione sighed.

'I woke up right after you left…' She mumbled.

'You really should be getting good sleep, 'Mione.' Harry told her.

'Well, I'm not used to sleeping in forever…I like being awake. Besides, I wanted to read some books on parenting.'

'Parenting?' Draco snorted, 'You are a month and a half pregnant and you're already reading those books? You'll be a wonderful mother, I don't think you have to read books to help you.'

'I'm learning things, good things. Like, did you know when the sixth month rolls around we can't have sex?-Harry coughed awkwardly-Because it might harm the baby?' Hermione asked Draco.

'You know, as tempting as it is to sit in and listen toa conversation about your sex life, I think I'm gonna go…get something to drink.' Harry said just before sprinting out of the room.

'What?' Draco asked incredulously after Harry left the room, 'That's not true…I'll just have to give-in and let you be on top.'

'I'm not risking it.' Hermione told him, shaking her head childishly.

Draco smirked at her and slinked his arms around her. He then placed his lips on her forehead and then kissed her jaw line down to her mouth.

Hermione moaned into the kiss but then brought her arms up to his shoulders and pushed away slightly.

'No means no, Draco. You can kiss me all you want, but once September comes you're going to have to take lots of cold showers.'

Draco growled and looked at his feet.

'Well,' He said, his head snapping back up, 'we better get Potter outta here cause we have a lot of sex to do, so I'm satisfied for the last three months.'

'Draco! That's not nice. Let's so eat lunch with Harry, he can stay as long as he wants. Now, go give him company in the kitchen while I owl Ginny.'

Draco pulled Hermione into his body and began to kiss her again.

Hermione began to giggle but pushed him away again.

'Go,' She said, her finger pointing out of the door.

He quickly stole a kiss from her lips again and then ran out of the door. Hermione laughed as she went to get a quill and parchment.

Dear Ginny, I hope you are having fun at school right now! Not too busy are you? Well, I have some news…Draco and I are expecting! I'm going to have a baby, probably in late December. I was scared when I first found out, I didn't tell Draco for a week, but he made me feel so wonderful, you would have giggled and made fun of how "cutsie" he was. Anyway, hope to see you soon. Love, your friend, Hermione

Hermione left to get Draco's owl.

'Take this to Ginny Weasley please.'

The owl nipped at her softly, hooted, and then flew off.

Hermione then walked to the kitchen where Harry and Draco were talking about Quidditch practice.

When Hermione entered Draco asked, 'What do you want to eat Hermione?'

'I don't care…' She shrugged.

'No cravings?' Harry asked.

'Well, now that you mention it, I would love a Mandarin Salad with some Atlantic Salmon.'

'Umm…okay.' Draco replied, 'You've never asked for that before. Hilde!'

Immediately Hilde ran upstairs to Draco's side.

'Yes, Master? Master called for Hilde?'

'Can you make Harry and I some chicken sandwiches and Hermione would like a Mandarin salad and Atlantic salmon.'

'Yes, Sir! Thank you, Sir! We house-elves will have it all ready soon!'

Hilde then ran off excitedly.

'She's very spunky.' Harry commented.

Then the doorbell rang.

'I'll get it,' Hermione told the elf who ran upstairs quickly.

Hermione left the room and Harry and Draco continued their conversation about practice. Suddenly a high-pitched scream filled the Manor.

'Bloody hell!' Draco shouted. 'What the fuck was that?'

'Ginny.' Harry replied nonchalantly.

'HERMIONE! YOU'RE PREGNANT?' Draco heard Ginny cry. 'AHHHH!'

Hermione then walked into the kitchen with Ginny's arms around her neck. Ginny then saw Draco. She left Hermione and threw her arms around his neck.

'YOU'RE GOING TO BE A DADDY! THAT'S SO CUTE! CONGRATULATIONS!' She screeched.

'I'm fucking bleeding from the ear!' Draco told her. 'But thank you.'

Ginny released Draco and then saw Harry.

'HARRY!' She cried.

She then threw her arms around him.

'Hey, Gin.' He said kissing her hair.

'I didn't know you'd be here!'

'I came over after practice to see Hermione, I just found out today, too. But why are you here, aren't you supposed to be at school?' Harry asked.

'Oh, well, actually yes I am supposed to be at school but I went into the Forbidden Forest and apparated here.'

'Ginny!' Hermione exclaimed, 'if you get caught you'll be in so much trouble!'

'But I had to see you and Draco! I couldn't get an owl like that and just reply back saying, "Oh congratulations". I had to come see you!'

'If she explains to Dumbledore what happened, she won't get in trouble.' Draco said.

'That might be true but she should still get back right now!' Hermione responded.

'Yeah, you better.' Harry told Ginny.

'Okay, okay, I'm going, I'm going.' She complained, 'Bye, Harry.' She then kissed him softly.

She ran to Draco and hugged him and then to Hermione.

'Congratulations, you two! This is amazing! You two are going to be such brilliant parents! I'll see you all soon hopefully!'

She then disapparated.

A/N: Okay, well I know this was a SHORT chapter, and I'm sorry, but I've been really busy and will continue to be busy so I thought I should quick send this chapter out to you, rather than send nothing for awhile! I also apologize for this chapter lacking action, smut, or plot, it was mainly a comedic relief…yeah…a comedic relief, let's go with that lol. Anyhoo, I've been thinking that I am going to dedicate one large chapter to finishing out Hermione's pregnancy, for example, the next chapter would be the last months of Hermione's pregnancy and birth all rolled into one, and then I'd either continue with Draco and Hermione as parents OR stop this story and continue into another story, forming ANOTHER trilogy. What do you guys think? I'd LOVE my faithful readers' opinions, since you will be the ones suffering with the outcome lol. REVIEW PLEASE AND THANKS!
