Chapter Seven:
Hermione sighed and glared at the high skylight of Pizza Hut. It looked as if the weather matched her mood. Heavy raindrops were splashing against the skylight making heavy noises, barely distinguishable in the loud chatter of the popular restaurant. She averted her eyes to Leo who was eating a slice of his favourite pepperoni pizza in typical Ron fashion. He had tomato sauce around his mouth, and strangely had a piece of grated cheese clinging onto his nose. She rolled her eyes and his typical maleness, and looked over to Libby, determinately ignoring Draco's persistent gaze. Libby was eating in a much more feminine fashion, no sauce visible on her cheeks. Hermione hen glanced down at her plate, gritting her teeth. Draco's gaze was really getting annoying. She stabbed her jacket potato harshly with her fork and placed the offended piece of potato into her mouth. "Mom, Mom! Can I go to the bathroom?" Leo spoke up in a petulant childlike voice. He had drunk way too much orange juice. "Okay baby", Hermione agreed and watched as he stood up, to be followed by Draco who had apparently sensed Hermione's unease at letting her eight-year-old baby go to the bathroom in a busy place on his own.
Draco followed the speedily walking Leo. He obviously needed to pee soon. Draco pushed open the heavy wooden door for Leo and watched bemusedly as his son zoomed into the nearest available cubicle. There was a loud 'click' as the lock was placed. Draco then walked over to the sinks and leaned against them, his arms hanging limply at his sides. A few moments later, a relieved Leo exited the cubicle and made his way over to the sinks. Standing on his tiptoes he turned the cold water tap on. "Hey sir? Why are you out with us?" asked a curious Leo, while lathering his hands in pink soap. "Are you going to be mummy's husband?" he questioned. Draco chuckled deeply. "I doubt your mommy would want to marry me," he told his adorable son. "Why not?" Leo persisted. "Your better than Mr. Reid, I know my mommy doesn't like him coz he tried to make me and Libby call him daddy. Mom got real mad at him" Leo told him with the air of someone discussing the weather. Leo then removed his dripping wet hands from the skin and moved over to the hand dryers. Draco reached over and turned the forgotten faucet off. Draco processed this new bit of interesting information. "Do you know who your daddy is?" he asked Leo already knowing the answer. "Nope" Leo answered somewhat vaguely. "Mommy told us that he loves us but he couldn't see us yet", he said sadly. "Me and Libby don't think its true" he confided as the hand dryer switched itself off. "I think your daddy loves you and Libby loads" Draco told Leo truthfully. "Yea" Leo said clearly not agreeing. He then led the way out of the bathroom, Draco following yet again.
Leo took his place at the table and resumed eating the remains of his pizza, eager for ice cream. He stared easily at his agitated mother wondering why she was agitated. He directed his eyes towards Libby and smirked at her. She smirked back as she swallowed her last mouthful and reached over for her apple juice. "Did you like my lesson today?" Draco asked the twins eager for conversation. "Yea was cool" Leo told him. Leo was obviously the more out-going of the twins. Draco looked over at his daughter. "I liked it," she told him. He smiled at her. "Libby gave a very academic answer in class" he told Hermione," she told us all that you taught her about Gravity". Hermione looked at her daughter pride evident on her face. "Yes" Hermione answered Draco. "I believe it's important that children learn basic things before school. And after all, my children are extremely bright" she boasted. Draco's face fell at the use of the word 'my'. He had hoped that she might use the word 'our', but he knew that was just fanciful wishing. She obviously did not want to tell their children just who he was. 'Fine. If she won't tell them, then I will' he decided.
"Do you want to go get your ice-cream?" Hermione asked the twins. "Yea" Libby said, as she and Leo rose from their seats and made their way over to the serve yourself ice cream machine. Hermione and Draco both watched them go. "Are you going to tell them that I'm their father?" Draco voiced the subject that had clearly been plaguing him all night. Hermione looked pensive. "Yes…" She said hesitantly. "Just not here, when we get home" she told him. Draco had a distinct feeling that she wasn't going to tell them tonight. "If you don't tell them soon, I will" he threatened her. Hermione looked ashen faced. "They're smart kids Hermione, they'll figure it out on their own soon enough. And frankly I think we should tell them as soon as possible" Draco told her gently yet determinately. "And I wish to be present when you tell them". "Okay" Hermione said softly. "Tonight. We'll tell them tonight. Just wait until we get home, please?" she pleaded. "Sure" he whispered into her ear, his lips brushing strands of her beautiful chocolate brown hair. Hermione shivered at the contact of his lips with her ear. She strangely had the desire to kiss him; he was after all an extremely good-looking man. And the father of her children. The table shook and Hermione was snapped out her reverie. The twins had returned, each with a bowl filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with all sorts of sickly looking colourful sweets.
"Want some?" Leo asked Draco, indicating his ice cream. Draco grinned at him, and grabbed an extra spoon, stealing a bit of ice cream from Leo and Libby. Libby grinned at him as she threw a smartie in his direction, in revenge for stealing her ice cream. She laughed hysterically as it 'pinged' off the centre of his nose and landed in his empty plate. She was soon joined by the rest of the table as they all laughed at poor old Draco. Draco smirked at Libby, as he reached over the table and stole an orange smartie from Leo's ice cream, which he threw at Libby. It hit her on her cheek, leaving a small ice cream mark, tinged with orange. Leo then threw a smartie at Draco, in revenge for hitting his twin. A prepared Draco caught it easily with his seeker's reflexes and threw it into his mouth to the annoyance of Leo. This then resulted in an all out smartie war, with a resisting Hermione being dragged into the battle ground after being hit in the head by a pink smartie, courtesy of a smirking Draco.

Heys: yea I get what you mean. ). I named the twins Leo and Liberty, simply because I love the name and they have meanings. Liberty means freedom, so like freedom to choose etc, and the name Leo stands for 'a lion', so (hint, hint) Gryffindor! Lol -winks-.
