A/N: This chapter is so lemon-y it really kind of makes me sick, lol. It is also RATED R… if you aren't of age, don't read it. I mean it, I don't want your mothers and fathers calling me up and berating me for accidentally teaching you about the birds and the bees. The next chapter: The Spring Fling.
7 long weeks had passed and EVERYONE knew Draco and Ginny's 'secret'. Ron had been so furious that he fainted dead away as soon as he found out…and then had tried to beat up Gregory Goyle (needless to say, he failed miserably). Ginny had owled her parents but never got a response; Narcissa Malfoy, on the other hand, sent her a four page letter about how pregnancy was a joyous time and enclosed many pictures of Draco as a very pale, very naked baby.
It had been an exceptionally hard couple of weeks for Ginny who had gained 12 whole pounds and had been having trouble sleeping. Even Snape took pity on her and excused her from an essay on Mandgaroot and its purposes in Monopole Potion that had to be 2 rolls of parchment long.
It was warm for March 27th… it had reached a comfortable 68 degrees and students were spending a blissful Saturday outside or in Hogsmeade. Not Ginny Weasley though… she was sitting on her bed, crying her eyes out.
Draco walked in with a letter from his mother and found her in such a sorry state. He rushed to her side. "Ginny, what happened? Who did this to you?"
She sniffed and threw her arms around his neck. "Tom… he did it."
Draco stiffened and pulled back to look into her eyes. "Was he here? Did that bastard hurt you?"
Ginny stood up and pulled up her pink tank top to show him her abdomen which was becoming rounder with each passing day. "Look at this…you're going to leave me aren't you? It's because I'm ugly!" she pulled her shirt back down and wiped at the tears.
Draco felt his stomach clench. "You're beautiful Ginny! You put all those other girls to shame." He stood up and pulled her to the mirror. "Look at yourself…"
"I'm fat!" she snapped at him. Ginny winced as his hands went around her waist. "Trying to feel me up Malfoy?"
Draco laughed. "Of course not… you'd hit me." He bent down and kissed the top of her head. "Let's go down to the lake."
"And let everyone see how big I am? No way!" She cried and pulled back from him.
"To show everyone how beautiful my wife is." He corrected and grabbed her hand. "Put on a cloak… you don't get a choice."
Ginny sighed heavily and did as she was told. "I'm just lucky that this cloak is a few sizes too big so the whole world won't have to look at my massive body."
"Will you stop?" he snapped angrily. "You're beautiful and I can't listen to you put yourself down."
Ginny was taken aback by his outburst and followed silently as he led her down to a shady spot under a tree where a picnic basket was set up. "I get it; you have a thing for fat people."
Draco rolled his eyes; "You're the most insufferable woman I've ever married!" he complained and sat down. He gently positioned himself so she was able to lean against him; he could see how uncomfortable it was for her to sit with her legs stretched out or Indian style.
Ginny was very uncomfortable… and not just physically; it bothered her how people were watching. "People are staring…" she whispered nervously. She was shocked at how chummy she had become with her husband in the past weeks. It was actually quite shocking… to everyone.
Draco smiled. "It's because they're jealous." He said and handed her a glass of ice cold pumpkin juice.
"Jealous of what? I'm not exactly special, pretty or lucky… what would they have to be jealous of?" she took a sip and smiled at him. "This was nice of you. I needed to get out of that room."
"I know… you were driving us both crazy." He nervously ran a hand through his slicked back hair. "You know there's a spring ball before the start of the break and I'd like you to go with me."
Ginny froze. "Like a date? I mean, well you know what I mean…"
"Yeah, like a date. I mean we never got to date before but I want to now to make it right." He said and prayed she wouldn't reject him.
"Sure, I'd love to go with you…as a date." She said with a smile and finished her pumpkin juice.
Draco felt happiness swell in him and instantly captured her lips. At first he was nervous…he didn't want to upset her but was comforted when he felt her kissing him back.
It dawned on her that they never really kissed like this before… sure they had kissed at the wedding but, frankly, a dead fish kiss on the side of the mouth wasn't her idea of romance. And then their stolen kiss before Hogsmeade… but this time she felt a spark jolt through her body as she brought her hands to feel his hair.
His hands snaked down and touched her abdomen. He liked the way the small bump felt underneath his hands and he gently rubbed it as he kissed her.
That was it; she moaned into his mouth and opened her green eyes to meet his icy grey ones. As if they had a mental connection, he pulled back and quickly threw everything back in the picnic basket.
Ginny grasped his hand as they rushed back to the room. She was ready for this… her whole body was screaming for him. She carefully unfastened her cloak and watched him pulling off his shirt and pants.
Draco carefully undressed her and laid her out of the bed. He didn't want to hurt her or their children.
Their kissing became frenzied and the only sound was heavy breathing and moaning. Ginny wondered if this was where her life was fortuned to end up: with Draco and his children. She raked her nails over his back
He entered her gently and was careful… he felt as if he would die if her hurt her. Everything was complete when he was with her; that was something he had never felt.
Ginny never wanted to break away from him but she was starving. They had laid in a sweaty mass next to each other for hours and suddenly she felt beautiful instead of a girl who constantly was gaining weight and losing sight of her toes. "Draco?" she said softly.
"Hmmm?" he mumbled and turned toward her. She looked so tender he just wanted to ravage her all over again.
"I'm hungry." She whispered and felt her cheeks begin to flush. "I'm sorry but babies are hungry."
Draco laughed, "We can picnic in bed; I got us one remember?" he said and walked over to get the basket, buck naked.
Ginny felt her heart leap at the sight of him walking to get the food…god he was a beautiful man and he was all hers. She smiled as he brought fresh fruit, croissants and pumpkin pie with pickle relish just for her. "You really didn't have to do this."
"Oh but I did…" he said and handed her a plate loaded with food.
"Whoa, I am eating for 3, not for six!" she said with a laugh but when all was said and done, she had eaten it all plus a good amount of the pie.
Draco watched her. She was graceful and beautiful and suddenly it hit him like a ton of bricks: he couldn't live without her standing beside him. He'd grown accustomed to her beside him at school and in bed… even her breathing was soothing to him.
Ginny blushed as she caught him looking at her. "What?"
Draco looked away, "Nothing." He said coolly and watched her as she dutifully cleaned up around them. He stood up off the bed and pulled on his discarded undergarments. "Are you sure I didn't hurt you?"
Ginny shook her head, "No, it didn't hurt at all… it made me feel beautiful and special. Thank you."
Draco stared back at her, "Ginny, you don't need to thank me… if anything I should be thanking you for teaching me to feel like that."
Ginny laughed, "That was really corny… but really sweet." She said and crossed the room to kiss him chastely on the cheek before changing into a pair of sweats and a pink halter top to sleep off her exhaustion.
"Corny? What in Hades name does that mean?" he asked with anger seeping into his usually cool tone.
"It's a muggle word meaning sappy and…corny. I can't explain it; don't be mad though, I didn't mean it to make you angry." She took her hand in his and kissed it, "We should do this more often."
Suddenly as it had come, the anger was gone and he smiled. He put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head.
