A/N: Once again, I am sorry for how long the rest of this story is taking to update. School and work...yeah...excuses, excuses. Just so you know (and so you don't have to ask me in reviews now) I am enjoying college for the most part. I LOVE all my classes but two...one of those two is boring and the other is hard. I LOVE my Films class, Step Aerobics, and Speech classes. Statistics is boring, but i'm sure it will get very hard soon. History of World Civilization is a bit difficult, lots of note-taking, reading, and hard tests...or so i've heard I haven't had to take one yet.

In other news, still no update on Eminem's status in Rehab. Hopefully he is doing well. Tom Felton had a splendiferous time in New York, according to his website and he said in a clip that he would continue to do the Potter films: "I'll keep doing it as long as they want me to. I'm not overly fussed, it's not my 100 percent chosen life career. If they do decide to get a new cast, it's OK, fair enough, on to bigger and better things, but as long as they want me to do it I'm more than happy to trailer on." Let's hope and pray that "they" keep wanting Tom to play Draco.

ON WITH THE STORY!

Chap. 37 Day Off

It was February, Cayden Donovan was now two months old and he was not as "cheerful" as he used to be. Oh, sure when Draco and Hermione picked him up he would coo and smile, but now during the nights he slept about four hours before he woke up crying again. Cayden would go to bed about 9 PM, wake up at midnight, go to bed again and 4 AM and then wake up again at 9 AM. That was the usual...but unfortunate for Hermione, Draco's Quidditch season started back up the middle of February so now Hermione had to be up early in the mornings with Cayden alone since Draco left at 8 AM for practice. Draco felt awful, but he also knew there was not anything he could do. Hermione understood this also, so she kept her complaining to a minimum.

The morning of February the 20th, Hermione stirred in her sleep at about 9 AM, because that's the time she usually heard Cayden. She waited, half-sleeping, for his cry...the cry that never came. Being a concerned, young mother she violently woke up and stumbled out of her bed, thinking the worst- Cayden was in trouble or gone. As she tried scrambling off of the floor she heard someone yelling, 'Hermione! Hermione! Stop! Calm down, baby!'

Hermione stopped thrashing and looked up and saw a foggy image of Draco. She wiped the sleep from her eyes and stared at him in confusion.

'What time is it?' She asked quickly. She assumed her internal clock was off by a few hours since Cayden hadn't woken yet and Draco hadn't gone to practice yet.

'It's 9:15, I thought i'd let you sleep. Apparently you're motherly intuitions over-powerful the need for sleep.' Draco told her.

He then rose from the bed and walked over to her side. He bent down and helped her off the floor.

'Where's Cayden? Why hasn't he woken yet? Why are you home! Have you checked on Cayden at all!'

'Sweetheart, calm down.' He told her softly, 'I told Walker that I was not coming to practice today. I am giving the beautiful mother of my child the day off. I sent Cayden off this morning with mini-redhead. She and Potter, once he is done with practice, are taking care of Cayden for the rest of the day, giving you and me the whole day to do whatever.'

'Really?' Hermione asked gratefully.

'Really, really.' Draco replied with a smirk. 'Now, you, get back into bed and sleep until noon. Once noon comes around, meet me in the conservatory, okay?'

Hermione smiled and nodded. Draco kissed her forehead and pat her butt as she crawled back under the covers. Hermione's eyes followed Draco until he left the room, after that she saw blackness and fell into a much needed deep sleep.

A few hours later, Hermione slowly felt herself wake up. Her eyes fluttered open and she stretched happily. She sighed and just laid under the covers for a moment or two, not wishing to move from the bed quite yet. But all good things have to come to an end. She lifted herself up and stared at the clock that read 12:04 PM. She yawned as she placed her feet on the floor and stood up. She traveled to the bathroom and washed up. She came out looking refreshed and wearing some light makeup. She threw on a lime green tank top and some loose jeans. She then made her way downstairs, remembering Draco had told her to meet him in the conservatory once she woke up.

She walked into the room and saw one of the small glass tables had two glasses on it, and a jar of lemonade. There was also a vase in the center of the table with a lily in it. She smiled and sat down at the table, pouring herself some lemonade. Not a minute later, Draco strut into the room.

'Ahh, there you are my love!' He said cheerfully.

'Draco, what is this?' She asked, her hand waving around the set-up lemonade.

'This is your day-off brunch. I made some lemonade, by actually squeezing lemons,'

'You what?' Hermione cried, interrupting him.

'I personally squeezed the juice out of lemons to make that delectable beverage for you.'

'Well, that was very thoughtful of you.'

'Oh, I get even more thoughtful.' Draco added. He then clapped his hands twice and three house-elves ran in from the door behind him, carrying plates of food. On one plate was fresh fruit, another was fresh vegetables and dip, and the last had two croissant sandwiches.

'Oh, Draco! It looks so good!' She exclaimed. 'Thank you,' She added politely to the elves as they sent the plates down on the table.

'I made all of that, too...the house-elves just helped bringing it in.' He said with a proud grin.

'Draco, you didn't have to do this...but I'm very glad you did.' Hermione said with a smile. 'Come here, sit and eat with me.'

Draco nodded and took a seat at the little table across from her.

She began to take fruit and vegetables and pile them on her plate.

'I am so hungry,' She said looking down at the dip, 'this was the perfect little surprise.'

'I'm glad you like it. Did you have a good nap?'

'Yes! I feel fabulous! Thank you so much, Draco. When does baby come back tonight?'

'Cayden come back tonight around eleven. I have something later planned for us too.'

'Oh yeah?' Hermione inquired with interest.

'Heck yes. I am going to take you shopping to get a new dress, because I booked us reservations at the Twilight Room for dinner and some dancing.'

'WHAT? Oh wow! That'll be so much fun! I've read about it a lot in the Daily Prophet, it's so popular!'

She ate heartily as Draco told her things he's heard about the Twilight Room.

'Blaise hasn't been there, but he heard some people in the shop (Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes) that it's wicked. The tables you eat at encircle the entire place, allowing the large dance floor to be in the middle of the building. This way you can eat, dance, and sit comfortably where your stuff is instead of having to go from floor to floor, or whatnot. The food is exceptional according to Fred and George, they took their mum and dad there for their anniversary this year or some rubbish like that. The music is always live and phenomenal, the dance floor spins slowly too which is kick-ass, in my professional opinion.'

'Professional "dance floor" opinion, eh?'

'Oh, didn't I tell you? I was a ballroom designer in another life.'

'Oh, that explains your talent of dance.' Hermione shrugged, going along with the joke.

'Indeed. Anyhoo, dinner reservations are at six thirty. I figure we can go shopping anytime before that, we'll probably need an hour to come back here and get ready before we go to the Twilight Room.' He then took a large bite from his croissant, as Hermione nearly finished hers.

'An hour so be an ample amount of time. Ginny and Harry didn't mind taking Cayden for the day, did they?'

'Heavens, no.' Draco replied through a mouthful of food. He swallowed and continued, 'Ginny was simply ecstatic. She said she was going to take him to the Little Wizards' Park and then she was going to meet up with Harry and they were going to take him shopping.'

'Oh, that's nice of her.' Hermione smiled.

Draco nodded and took the last bit of croissant into his mouth. He then poured himself a tall glass of lemonade and downed it in one gulp.

'I make killer lemonade!' He exclaimed.

'You hadn't drank any yet?'

'No, I was waiting for you.'

'It was very good, thank you.' Hermione told him.

'My pleasure,' He replied with a little bow of his head.

He called out for Hilde and she ran in with a cart. Draco set the plates and glasses on the cart and Hilde wheeled it out of the conservatory and into the kitchen.

Hermione took a drink of her lemonade and then looked up at Draco sultrily.

'Oh, Draco?'

He took his attention away from Hilde running out of the room and turned to look at her. He smirked when he saw her expression.

'I think it's okay to go ahead and start our little rendezvous again...I appreciate how patient you've been.'

Draco grinned wildly.

'I knew all my die-hard devotion to you would pay off.' He said rising from his seat. 'Follow me into the library...the conservatory is too open, don't you think?'

'Why don't we just go upstairs?'

'That's a long way away.' He retorted, taking her hand in his.

Suddenly Draco heard a pop and then saw the surroundings of their bedroom.

'Apparition is quite handy,' Hermione stated.

'You were always the smart one.' He breathed just before covering her lips with his own.

He cradled her head gently as his lips browsed hers. Hermione didn't waste time. Her hands found the bottom of Draco's shirt and she pulled it up over his head, breaking the kiss for a moment or two. Her fingers created clear paths down his chest, to the top of his pants. She fumbled with the belt buckle as he pushed her up against the wall and continued to kiss her. Once Hermione pulled the belt from it's loops, Draco removed his hands from her head and placed them against the wall on either side of her face. He buried his face into the crevice of her shoulders and breathed deeply, taking in the familiar touches of Hermione's soft hands against his pants and boxers. He felt his pants drop to the floor, and he kissed her neck. Then he felt her fingers playing with the elastic waistband of his silk boxers, a breath caught in his throat. He quickly kissed her neck again before pulling her hands away from his waist and lifting them up. He rested them in his hands above her head. With his free hand he pulled up her tank top over her head. Hermione pulled her hands away from his capture and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself against his hot body.

Draco bent down and scooped Hermione legs up and she wrapped them around his waist. He held her butt in his hands as they attacked each other's mouths. Draco carried her over to the bed, where he laid Hermione on it, him on top with Hermione's legs still wrapped around him.

Draco smiled into their kisses as he lifted from her a bit to unzip her jeans. They were both already breathing rapidly from the excitement of it all, Draco was especially excited and Hermione could feel it against her wet heat.

Draco bit on Hermione's lower lip, causing her to moan and her lips to arch, allowing Draco to pull the top of her jeans down her butt. He let go off her jeans and unwrapped her legs. He then pulled away from the kiss and stepped back to the edge of the side of the bed. He pulled one pant leg down, then the other, not taking his eyes off hers. He grinned at her when he threw them behind him. He still held one foot of hers in his hand so he turned and kissed her ankle. He went on his knees, taking her leg down with him, and continued to kiss her up leg. She giggled and crawled back so he could climb on the bed and continue. He reached the top of her shin and licked up until mid thigh. He began kissing again. She moaned softly and tilted her head back as he kissed her the inner thighs of both legs. He stopped and brought his head up to her stomach, brushing his nose against her covered, wet clit as he did so. He licked around her navel and continued licking until he got to her bra. She lifted herself up and unsnapped it herself, tossing it behind her. He smiled and began kissing and sucking on her breasts. He'd spend a few moments on one, then move to the other, not wanting either one to feel left out, which neither did when he kissed the other because his hand also gave them attention.

As he softly bit her nipples and sucked the soft flesh, the hand not massaging the other breast slid down to her warmth. Draco played with the band of her underwear, and then slipped underneath it, cupping Hermione. She gasped when she felt him brush his index finger across her pulsing clit. Hermione quickly grabbed onto Draco's hair as he applied his ministrations. He felt her lift and grind into the palm of his hand, her wet fluids spreading over him. He then stopped massaging and sucking her breasts. He leaned down, removing her underwear from her as he went. She aided in lifted her bottom and legs up to drop the soaked material. He settled himself in a sitting position between her spread legs and buried his face between her thighs. Hermione moaned loudly when she felt his tongue enter her throbbing clit. She gripped the bedsheet as he sucked her, tickling her with his quick tongue.

'Ohhhh Draco!' She exclaimed when his tongue hit her deep, sensitive spot.

Draco felt her release more fluid which entered his mouth and smeared over his lips and chin. He laughed softly and lifted up from her, wiping his mouth with his arm. He leaned up, brushing his hard erection against her ready mound.

'See what you do to me?' He said breathlessly.

She nodded fervently, still high from her orgasm. She was breathing hard so he placed soft kissed on her stomach until she regulated again.

Once her breathing steadied, he lifted his stiffened member over her opening and gently set his head into her. She tensed around him, trying to pull him in further, but he took it slow. He pushed another inch into her and pulled out, causing her to quake.

'Gods, Draco! Come on, baby, come on.'

'I will in a moment, as will you.'

He smiled wickedly at her just before pushing his whole member into her. She shuttered and gasped as he moved in and out of her quickly. She slid her legs up around him again, pulling him into her further. He thrust roughly into her, grunting as he did. Hermione's head was thrown back from when he first pushed fully into her, but she lifted to watch him. Draco eyes were closed, concentrating on pleasuring the both of them as he violently rocked in and out of her. He looked so sexy as he rode her waist, strands of his blonde hair swinging as they hung from his pure, flushed face. Hermione began grinding against him, causing a moan to emit from Draco's red lips. He opened his eyes and looked down at Hermione, who was smiling in ecstasy.

Draco smiled back and lifted an arm from the bed to her left leg. He pushed her leg back against her body, allowing Draco to change positions a bit. Hermione gasped and orgasmed from the movement, Draco had moved and hit a sensitive spot in Hermione that had rarely been hit before. She climaxed in shock, which made it even better. It was a prize, and the best kind of prize is a surprise...and boy was that ever. He grinned proudly to himself for thinking to maneuver in a different position.

Hermione reached out and pulled Draco's head down to hers and kissed him passionately as he pumped into her, more softly now in order to kiss. She licked his mouth, gaining entrance inside. Their tongues fought and Draco gained dominance as usual, exploring her mouth as his member explored inside her.

Both Draco and Hermione were hot and sweaty, and clung to each other as they continued to make love. Hermione had her arms wrapped around his neck and she was kissing and biting his neck. Although she was beyond warm, goosebumps erupted all over her body when Draco exhaled against the skin on her neck. He was still thrusting into her, so his breaths were heavy and deep. Draco suddenly felt himself swelling inside her, nearly ready to climax. He grunted deeply, took a breath and picked up speed. Hermione's moaned hitched and she sighed loudly as he did so. A second or two later Draco cried her name loudly and spilled his seed into her. He shuttered over her body and then his arms gave out. He collapsed on top of her sweaty body and she did not protest. She simply ran her fingers loosely through his damp locks.

Neither of them talked. They didn't need to. They both were in a state of utopia where conversation was not required. The only noise was the sound of their harsh, rapid breathing.

Draco kissed Hermione's collarbones softly as he laid on top of her, his member still inside her. Hermione just laid back with her eyes closed, an elated smile plastered on her face. Her fingers still wove through his hair.

Draco could feel Hermione's chest working more difficult than normal to rise and lower so he mustered strength and pulled out of her and rolled to the side. Hermione looked over and saw he was staring at the ceiling grinning, his chest rising and falling fast.

Hermione giggled softly causing Draco to look over, still grinning. They thanked each other silently and Draco leaned over a bit to kiss her lips, where she kissed back heartily.

Draco looked over and saw it was two in the afternoon.

Draco took a deep breath and then spoke.

'What do you say...to a two hour nap, and then shopping?'

'Sounds good.' She stated simply.

A/N: I already have written down a few notes here and there in my spare time about the new story I am going to be writing for fanfiction, for all of you. I don't want to give too much away about anything, but here are some minor details about my upcoming story: The story will be Hermione/Draco obviously...and also rated "M", but won't get into "M" type details until later chapters. Hermione and Draco will be graduates of Hogwarts, both about the age of 20-21. Voldemort is alive, but he is weak and his Death Eaters have fallen away. They lose contact after Hogwarts, probably wanted by both parties, but then a few years later Hermione leaves the Wizarding World to go visit her parents, there she runs into Draco after so long...why is Draco in the Muggle World you ask? You'll have to wait and see. What about Lucius, Narcissa, Harry, Ron, and Pansy, you ask? You'll have to wait and see. Do not ask me in a review: "What else is going to happen in your story? Can you give me more information?" Well, the answer to that is no. You'll have to wait and see hehe.
