Chapter Eight: Expect the Unexpected

Slowly I opened my eyes and saw Draco sleeping next to me. Only this time it wasn't beside me in bed, but rather beside my hospital bed. I was in St.Mungo's!

"Well, I see you've woken Ms. Granger. You gave us quite a scare."

I looked down at my hair, and saw that it wasn't any longer, so I couldn't have been there too long.

"How long have I been in here?"

"Two days tomorrow."

"What happened?"

The nurse sighed heavily as she gave me some vile looking potion too drink.

"Well, from what they told me you came to Mr. Malfoy's office, and his wife was there. Apparently she thought you and Mr. Malfoy were having an affair. Before Mr. Malfoy could stop her with the truth, that you were working for him, she hit you with a slight knock out spell, that wasn't so slight. After that Mr. Malfoy rushed you here, and you been in this bed under observation ever since. Don't worry the baby is perfectly fine, surprisingly."

"I can't believe Pansy! You'd think-"

I sat up so fast that I knocked the next disgusting concoction that she was about to hand me straight onto the floor.

"Baby, what do you mean baby?"

"The baby that's in your belly Ms. Granger. We had to give you quite a few things to make sure she-"

"It's a girl."

"Oh, I'm sorry you might not have wanted to know the sex just yet, please forgive me."

The nurse left the room and I just sat there staring at my stomach.

Think Hermione think, when was the last time you and Draco had unprotected sex? That was over a year ago though. So when did you get pregnant then? I mean we have been extra careful after what happened last year. How did- Wait there had been that time before Draco's business trip, when we had got lost in the moment. I hadn't even realized that we hadn't used protection until now. If I was correct then I was about four months pregnant. Shit, fuck, damn!

Suddenly cool hands turned my face, and lips just as cool kissed mine.

"Don't ever do that to me again. Ever!"

"Draco, I'm fine. Calm down!"

"How can you act so calm when you almost died! Not to mention the baby…"

So he did know. I couldn't help myself I burst out crying.

"Draco, what am I going to do?"

"No, what are we going to do."


I couldn't help myself I had to post another chapter. These last two chapters have been short, but that should only continue for about two more chapters, and then they should be longer. R. A. S. Y. A.R. T. P. (Review as soon as you read this please). Butterflly
