A/N: Thanks for the reviews and here you go. Chapter 17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco and I slept together (the normal kind, mind all you perverts!) that night. We weren't exactly prepared to let either of our parents find out about Baby Malfoy (whether it was a girl or a boy, it's surname would be Malfoy). We woke up the next morning in two different ways, he woke up feeling totally refreshed and read for the day… and I woke up running for the bathroom.
Oh, what a jolly way to start the day. Pregnancy was going to be just beautiful.
Thankfully, Draco was a perfect sweetheart, holding my hair back for me and rubbing my back. I could tell, right then, how much he truly loved me.
Because if he didn't really, really, REALLY love me, he wouldn't have been so patient. He wouldn't have kissed my cheek and told me he was sorry I was sick. If he didn't REALLY, SERIOUSLY love me, he would have yelled at me for accidentally getting vomit on his shirt.
But he was quiet, and he was loving, and he was patient. He was perfect.
Only me, Draco, Jess, Shane, and Blaise knew about Baby Malfoy. We weren't going to tell anyone; Shane, Blaise, and Draco wouldn't share such important information with Crabbe and Goyle, and I had sworn Jess into complete secrecy. And I, of course, wasn't going to be telling anyone; I mean the only people I would have told were Draco, Shane, Blaise, Jess, Ron, and Harry…
Wait… where did that come from? Oh well.
Draco helped me carry my books and everything each class. I told him not to:
"People are going to become suspicious."
But he still insisted, with a very good point, might I add:
"I carry your stuff for you all the time already. And who cares if people start to talk? One, Marie, we're getting married soon, so we're kind of entitled to a little sex now and then, I would think. And, two, no one's going to actually think you're carrying ourunborn childe in there! No one here is that good!"
Except the professors, I had thought right after he said that, but I just bit my tongue and held my peace. I was in Slytherin now; I didn't have to worry about what the professors thought of me anymore.
So I let Draco carry most of my things to each class. Finally, at the end of the day, when we finally got back to our dorm, Draco was so exhausted he just fell onto the couch.
I slipped myself into his lap. He grinned with his eyes still closed. "Hey, prety lady," he muttered.
"Hey, handsome," I replied, grinning from ear-to-ear. "How are you this evening?"
He opened his eyes and looked at me, still grinning. "I was really tired, but now I fell like staying up with my baby."
"Oh?" I asked. "Which one?"
"Both." He sat up and gave me a small kiss.
"Really now?"
"Yes, why wouldn't I?" he said standing up.
"I don't know. I just figured you would be upset with the fact that I'm pregnant." I said looking down at my lap.
"Of course not. I love you and I'm sure I will love our child."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure. Why? Are you having doubts." He knelt down in front of me.
I stared to nod but stopped mid-nod. "I'm not sure, it's just I have a feeling that something bad is going to happed… soon." I never looked up, afraid to look in his eyes, afraid he might slap me.
"What do you mean?" He took my hands in his, and I looked up.
"I had a dream a couple of nights ago. We were at our wedding, but it wasn't-" I started crying. I couldn't tell him it was too heartbreaking.
"It wasn't what? Come on Marie, you can tell me anything, you know that."
"I know it's just, in my dream I had the baby, but it wasn't yours."
"What do you mean, it wasn't mine?" I could hear the malice in his voice.
"It wasn't yours. What more is there to it? But there is no way that my dream could be true because the baby isn't due until around June or July. So don't worry about it, it's probably just my powers acting up, they are new. And I don't know how to control all of them, remember?" My mind flashed back to the night with Shane. I was trying to remember if he used protection or not, but my thoughts were interrupted by my mother.
"Marie are you ok?" Draco asked.
"Yeah hang on sweetie, my mum's in my head."
What do you want mother? I thought.
When were you going to tell us that you were pregnant?
Well I figured it was none of your business. Which it's not. Now is there anything else you needed?
Yes, as a matter of fact there is. We are coming to get you next week. You will becoming to Malfoy Manor. We won't be staying there until Christmas break actually starts because your father has to work.
So we are leaving school two weeks early. Neat!
Don't think your getting off the hook that easy. You will still be learning how to control your powers and working on school work, just like Draco. Understood?
Ok, is that all?
Yes, bye darling.
I shook my head and looked at Draco with a huge smile.
"What? What did you find out?"
"Well we're leaving next week." he smiled. "But," I continued, "we still have to do 'class' work." he frowned.
"So should we start packing?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess. But what all should we bring?" It was his turn to shrug. I gave him a stern look.
"What? I've never had someone practically move n with me. I guess you should tryi to contact your mum." I gave him an evil look. "Or your dad."
I nodded and closed my eyes. Dad… Dad! I waited for a little while but there was no answer, so I pinched my arm and I heard a shriek in my head.
Umm… who did that? I heard him say.
You dear little daughter. I felt a pinch on my arm and I jumped. Hey what was that for?
You did it to me first.
Sorry you wouldn't listen to me.
I'm sorry I was busy. Now what do you need, so that I can get back to my work?
Well I was wondering what all Draco and I should pack for when you and mum come to get us next week to go to Malfoy Manor.
What do you mean?
Mum was talking to me earlier about it.
Well I've heard nothing on this. Let me speak to your mother first.
Ok.
Is that all?
Yes… Wait I was wondering why you and Mum never talk to each other. Are you divorced and haven't told me? Please tell me your not.
We will talk about this later when I have time and once I have talked to your mother. I will come by later so be ready.
Yes sir. I love you, Dad.
I love you too, Marie.
I opened my eyes and got up and went to my room
"Marie, what's wrong?" Draco asked following me to my room.
"Nothing. I just need some rest is all. I've had to many minds in my mind." he nodded as if he understood and went back to the common room. I lay in my bed for awhile just looking at the ceiling. After about an hour I got up and took a shower, Draco knocked on the door to make sure I was ok, after being in there for a hour.
"Yes dear, I'm getting out now." I walked out with a towel around me. "You may want to get ready my father is coming by later. But I'm not sure when." He nodded and walked into the bathroom and started the water.
I walked into my room, over to my closet, and pulled out a red tank top, a black mini-skirt, and red flip-flops. I chose to wear my hair down flowing over my shoulders, and no makeup. Draco walked out with a black shirt, black pants, and black shoes. His hair hung limply with no gel in it. If my father wasn't coming my I would have jumped all over him. We went down to the common room. I sat down in a chair close to the fire, while Draco stirred the fire. He sat down across from me and I could feel his fear, but I didn't understand why he was afraid.
"Draco?"
"What?" he snapped.
"Are you ok?"
"I don't know. I just feel like I have to be so perfect for you. I just hope that your parents really like me and they aren't just pretending."
"Of course they like you. I've read it from them, you have absolutely nothing to worry about." We sat there for what seemed like forever just talking about little things. When I heard a knock on the portrait door.
"Just a second." I got up and walked over to the door. "Who is it?"
"Your father."
I opened the door and leapt into my fathers arms. "Dad, I'm so glad to see you. So did you talk to Mum?"
"I'm glad to see you, too. And yes I did talk to your mother. It seems that yes you are going to the Malfoy Manor next week. Your mother may stay there, she's not sure yet. But I will no be there until Christmas break."
I frowned. I didn't want to spend time with my mother, especially not after the little incident earlier this afternoon. "You still haven't answered my other question from earlier."
"Yes I know. It's just we didn't' want you to find out this way."
I sat down, well more like fell to a setting position on the floor. "So you mean you are. Why couldn't you just tell me when I firs found out who you were instead of leading me to think that I actually had a perfect family."
"I know honey. I know this is hard, but you'll get through it. You've got Draco, me, and -"
"And who Dad? Mum? Yeah right I can't believe you're leaving me with her. Because somehow she found out I was found out I was pregnant -"
"You're pregnant? What do you mean, who, when, how?"
"Yes I am, and I'm going into details. But yeah I have a feeling she was listening in to mine and Draco's conversation because she got in my mind and started yelling at me. And most likely I'm going to get more of it next time I see her. I hate her and I don't ever want to see her again." I got up and ran to my room crying.
"Sweetie, come back, I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about the thing with her mum she's just pregnant she'll get over it." Draco paused. "But how could you be so cruel, first off you turn up after 17 years of her life and tell her you're her parents. Then that she's engaged, and now you tell her hat you and her mum are divorced. And I thought I had a messed up life." Draco said as he got up and came to my room. He knocked on the door.
"Go away. I don't want to talk to you." I screamed as I reburied my face in my pillow.
"Marie, it's me, your fiancé, Draco. Can I come in, please?"
"Yeah I guess so." I rolled over and looked at the door.
"Are you ok?" he asked as he walked in and shut the door behind him.
"Do I look ok to you? For one I'm getting married next month. Two, I'm pregnant. Three, my parents are to busy keeping secrets from instead of telling me the truth because they're too afraid that I can't handle it."
He sat down on the end of my bed. "Well do you want to postpone the wedding? I don't know what we can do about the other two problems but we can figure it out."
I smiled but shook my head. "Of course not, we are getting married no matter what, but the other two problems I can deal with." I sat up and slid down to where he was sitting. "I'm so glad you're here with me." I gave him a gentle kiss.
"Oh your father is still out there."
I nodded and got up to go and face him. I found him sitting on the couch messing with cuff of his sleeve.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to break down like that. It's just I have so many things on my mind right now." I reached down to give him a hug, but he stood up and engulfed me in a bear hug. "Dad I can't breath."
"Oh sorry. I'm just proud of you. Now I must be going it's late and I have plans to make."
I gave him another hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Dad, thanks for coming by."
"Bye sweetie. Have a great week." and he disappeared.
I walked over to my door. "I think I'm going to sleep alone tonight. Now offense."
"Alright, none taken. Goodnight baby." he kissed me.
"Goodnight sweetheart." I walked into my room and collapsed onto my bed.
