A/N: I'm glad you all liked the last chapter despite it being so short. This one is short as well. Sorry.
Enjoy!
IX. First Night Home
"And they lived happily ever after," Draco finished and shut the book. He looked down at little girl in his lap and marvelled her resemblance to her mother, with the exception of the bright shade of her hair, she was her mother's clone.
Jaz had fallen asleep by the end of the story. Draco lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bed, laying her down softly. He kissed her forehead gently before leaving his daughter alone in the room, the door slightly open—just how she liked it.
When he went downstairs, the kitchen was deserted. All of the dishes were washed and dried and now sitting in the dish rack. Draco looked around for his wife, but was unable to find her. He searched the entire lower level before realizing that she may be waiting for him up in their room.
He was almost at their door when the baby began to cry. Draco growled and turned around. He had to quiet the baby, and quickly, so that Jasmine wouldn't wake up as well. He hurried to Caleb's room and picked up the newborn. It was hard to believe that this child was only two days old. Draco felt like he had been a part of the family—his family—for years. As Draco rocked the baby back to sleep he wondered where Hermione was. Surely, she would have come running to Caleb at his cries.
Suddenly, Draco became nervous. The only place that he hadn't checked was their room. Finally, Caleb was fast asleep once more. Draco laid him down and once again nearly ran out of the room. When he reached the door and opened it, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief because Hermione was lying on the bed, fast asleep.
Draco smiled. She had been waiting for him. She was dressed in only a brown lace bra and panty set that matched her hair and eyes and even accented her body's natural tan. She was above the covers, obviously meant to be in full view for him. Draco wanted her now more than ever.
But she was exhausted.
He let her sleep, and moved the blankets to cover her. Then he stripped and slid in underneath the blankets as well. He slipped a hand across her body and curled up behind her, resting his head near her neck, savouring their closeness—even though it meant no sex.
