Bellatrix and Baby Draco

Part 1

Bellatrix sat on her husband's lap in their living room. They were all cuddled up, talking about he only subject they'd been talking about for days now. That subject was Draco.

Narcissa was Bella's sister and Draco was Cissy's new baby. Cissy and her husband, Lucius Malfoy, had been trying to have a baby for months and it had finally paid off.

Bella remembered when she had first heard about Draco. She'd been at Cissy's and Cissy had been telling her about how she hadn't been hungry yet was putting on weight, how she slept a lot yet woke up exhausted and how she felt lousy… not sick really, just lousy. Cissy had finally been to the doctor and had been informed that she was pregnant. She'd told Bella immediately, sobbing with joy. Then, two months later, the doctor had officially deemed the baby to be a boy.

Of course Bella was thrilled for Cissy, but she was upset for herself. She and Rodolphus couldn't have children. For some reason or other, they just couldn't. Bella wanted a baby more then anything. She often found herself in tears these last few months, so close to Draco's birth. Rodolphus would hold her close and try to comfort her, but it was no use. And if truth be told, he was rather sensitive too. It just didn't seem fair that Cissy could have babies and Bella couldn't!

So, Bella and Dol sat waiting for Cissy to tell them when to come over. She had told them it would be that day, though she wasn't sure when. Draco had been born two weeks ago and the doctor had told Cissy that they had to wait for Draco's immune system to build up before he came in contact with anyone. They finally got the 'ok' from Cissy and they apparated just outside of Malfoy Manor. Bella wasn't sure if Draco was used to the noise of apparition yet and she didn't want to scare the little one. Besides, it was politer to knock.

When Cissy opened the door, she threw her arms around Bella, laughing softly.

"Hello Cissy," Bella said, squeezing her sister tightly.

"Hi Bella. Oh, I can't wait for you to see him, he's so gorgeous! And I want you to consider him your baby too, because he's as good as." Cissy spoke in a voice that was much softer then what Bella was used to.

Bella was touched by her words. "Really Cissy? Do you mean that?"

Cissy nodded. "Of course I do. Come by and see him whenever you like. Lucius and I don't mind… and I'm sure Draco won't either. He's going to love his auntie and uncle!"

Then she hugged Dol to and showed them in to the living room where they sat on the couch.

"I'm going to go find my Drakie. I think dada was changing him, so I'll just go se if they're done. Hang on for just a few more minutes," Cissy said happily.

As soon as she left, Bella turned to Dol and remarked, "Having a baby sure does strange things to a woman. I've never seen Cissy so bubbly before!"

Dol laughed softly and Cissy did indeed come in a few minutes with a tiny bundle in her arms.

"Here we go," she crooned to it. "We're going to se Auntie Bella now, yes we are. Ok, there you go."

She gently placed the bundle in Bella's arms. Little Draco was wrapped snuggly in a green wooly blanket. His cheeks were very pudgy and pink. He had tiny lips and a cute little nose. He had a tuft of white blonde hair right on the top of his head. After a bit, he opened his eyes. The were the brightest and most beautiful blue eyes that Bella had ever seen!

"Aw, look at you handsome," Bella said sweetly to him. "You're so adorable! You're the cutest nephew in the whole world. Yeah, who's the best nephew? Is it you? Of course! Of course it's you, you sexy beast! Yes." She stroked his cheek gently. Suddenly, he let out a tiny, squeaky sneeze.

"Oh my goodness," she laughed. "Bless you! OK, come here big boy."

She lifted him carefully onto her shoulder. "There we go biggie boy, is that better? Yeah."

She rubbed his small back and gave him a huge kiss on the cheek. He snuggled into her.

Even if she couldn't have a baby, she had Draco. After all, Cissy had said herself that Bella could consider Draco as hers. As his tiny hand formed around her finger, Bella knew she'd love him forever. So what if he wasn't her son/ He was her nephew and that was good enough for Bella.

The End
