Chapter 7: Harry and Ginny's exciting news.

Over the next week, Draco and Hermione talked about where they would like to get married and a few other things that they would need to plan. When Hermione told Harry and Ginny about her engagement, they couldn't have been happier for her. Ginny had jumped up and down with joy for Hermione and Harry hugged her. Ron was still not talking to them so he didn't even know that Hermione and Draco were living together.

Hermione awoke one sunny morning feeling rather nauseas. She sat up and looked over at her sleeping fiancé. As quietly as possible, Hermione slipped out of bed and went into the bathroom. She looked at her face in the mirror and was surprised to see that she was looking extremely healthy even though she felt like she was going to throw up any second. Hermione went to the toilet before turning on the shower and getting in. She let the water run over her and she washed her hair with lavender shampoo and conditioner. Before turning the water off she brushed her teeth and shaved her legs. By the time she had dried and dressed, Draco was awake. He was sitting in bed looking rather happy.

"What are you smiling at?" Hermione asked sitting next to him.

"Just smiling at my luck." He replied.

"Your luck? What luck?"

"That I have you and that we have a beautiful son. Oh and the fact that you agreed to marry me."

"Well if I didn't I would be lost. You make me feel things that no other man has ever made me feel. I love you with all my heart and I couldn't live without you again."

"I am glad you feel that way. I feel the same about you."

Hermione leaned up and kissed Draco firmly on the lips. The kiss was full of passion and love. Both pulled away breathless.

"Shall we go down to breakfast?" Hermione asked.

"I need a shower. You go and I'll meet you there."

Hermione nodded and left Draco to have his shower. She went in to see if Thomas was awake. He was now sleeping in a proper bed and loved it. Hermione saw that his bed was empty and had been made. Hermione smiled and walked towards the stairs knowing that Narcissa had taken care of him. She walked into the kitchen and smiled when she saw her son and his grandmother eating their breakfast and laughing.

"Morning Hermione." Narcissa smiled when Hermione sat down opposite her.

"Morning Narcissa. Good morning my little prince." Hermione kissed Thomas who giggled with delight. Hermione was lucky. Thomas was always a happy child no matter what was happening.

"How are you feeling today?" Narcissa asked.

"Fine. Why?"

"No reason. Just asking." Narcissa had a look in her eye like she knew something Hermione didn't. Shaking the thought away, Hermione reached for the plate that had the bacon and eggs on it. Before she had even put some on her plate, the smell had wafted into her nose and Hermione felt her stomach churn. Clasping a hand over her mouth, she ran from the kitchen and headed for the bathroom to the right of the staircase. She wretched open the door and slammed it shut. She made it to the toilet just in time. After about 10 minutes, Hermione still felt queasy but a lot better. She decided to skip breakfast and instead went back up to her room. She felt horrible. Draco was still in the shower when she lay down on the bed and when he came out he looked surprised to see her curled up and fast asleep. Without disturbing her, Draco left the room and quietly heading for the kitchen.

"Morning mum. Hello my little man." Draco said kissing his mother on the cheek and lifting his son up making Thomas squeal with laughter.

"Where mummy go daddy?" he asked when Draco sat him down.

"She is sleeping mate."

"Why? She need to have brekfest." Thomas said looking a little put out that his mother wasn't there with him.

"I don't know son. Did Hermione say anything to you mum?"

"No. She pulled the plate of food over to her and then ran out of here pretty quick." Narcissa told him.

"Oh well when I came out of the shower she was back in bed asleep." Draco frowned slightly.

"She did look a little pale before she ran out."

"She is probably getting a cold. Can you keep and eye on Thomas for me? I just want to check on her."

"Sure. Go on."

Draco smiled at his mother, kissed Thomas on the top of the head and walked out of the kitchen with a slice of toast. He made his way up to the room that he and Hermione shared and opened the door as quietly as he could. Hermione was sitting up in the bed. She looked over at Draco when he entered.

"Hey Draco." She half smiled at him.

"Hey Hermione. Are you ok? When I came out of the shower you were asleep. Mum said you ran out of the kitchen pretty quick and you're a little pale."

"Well…I…I wasn't feeling well when I woke up that's all. The smell of the food made me feel even worse. Probably just a bug or something." Hermione shrugged. Draco sat down next to her and held her hand. He looked into her eyes.

"Are you sure your ok?"

"Yeah. I just need some sleep that's all."

"Ok well I'll let you get some rest."

"Thanks Draco. I'll be down for lunch though so I'll see you then. Are you right with Thomas?"

"Yeah course. Don't fret. Get some rest and if you're feeling up to it we will go for a picnic for lunch ok?"

"Yeah sounds great. Thanks Draco." Hermione leaned forward and kissed Draco softly. He stood up and left the room closing the door behind him. Hermione got up off the bed and walked over to the mirror. She lifted her shirt to underneath her breasts and rubbed her hand over her stomach. She knew the feelings she was feeling were due to her possibly being pregnant for the second time. Sighing she went back and sat on the bed. How could they have done this a second time? The first time they had been young and had also thought that Thomas was Lord Voldemort's child but even then it didn't excuse their irresponsibility. To do it a second time was just plain careless. Hermione slummed on the bed and closed her eyes. She would have to get a test to make sure and then if the test confirmed what she suspected, Hermione would have to tell Draco. She knew he would be ok with it but she was still worried about the outcome.

Lunch came quicker than Hermione would have liked. Although she was hungry, Hermione didn't really want to have a picnic with Draco and Thomas. She just wanted to be alone in the bedroom. Of course she knew she would have to go as Draco and Narcissa would start to get worried and she didn't want them to suspect anything until she knew for sure.

Hermione headed downstairs and went into the lounge room. Hermione was surprised to see Harry and Ginny sitting and talking to Draco while Thomas happily played with his trains next to them on the floor.

"Harry! Ginny! What are you guys doing here?"

"We came to see you. Draco told us you weren't feeling well. Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Hey I've got an idea. Draco, Thomas and I were going to go for a picnic for lunch, Draco if it's ok can Harry and Ginny join us?"

"Sure. Toddles was getting the picnic basket ready, I'll go make her put some extra food in it." Draco hurried off to the kitchen. Hermione sat down on a spare sofa. Thomas looked up as his mother sat down.

"Mummy!" he cried running over to her for cuddles.

"Hello sweetie. Have you been a good boy for daddy?"

"Yeah. Where you go mummy? Me missed you lots." Thomas smiled at his mother and hugged her tight.

"Mummy was having a sleep. I wasn't feeling well." Thomas seemed happy enough with that answer and sat on Hermione's lap with his head against her chest and his thumb in his mouth. Hermione smiled at her son and looked back at Ginny and Harry. They were both smiling.

"He looks just like Draco you know. I mean he did before Draco woke up but now seeing both of them in the flesh just proves that point." Ginny told her.

"I know. So how is everything going for you two?" Hermione smiled.

"Well. We have some really exciting news. Better than when we told you about our engagement." Ginny was grinning.

"What is it?" Hermione asked feeling excited for her friends without even knowing what was going on.

"I found out two days ago…Hermione I'm pregnant."

"What? Are you serious? Oh my god I'm so happy for you both!" Hermione remembered just in time that she was holding her son. She quickly placed him on the sofa and ran over to Ginny hugging her. Draco walked in the room as she was hugging Harry. He looked a little taken back.

"Guess what Draco? Ginny and Harry are going to have a baby." Hermione told him in a rush of excitement. Draco's expression softened. He stuck out a hand towards Harry.

"Congratulations. Fatherhood is the best." He smiled. He gave Ginny a quick kiss on the cheek. Hermione smiled at him. Now she had her answer for the thing she thought would be a problem. Draco loved being a father so maybe being one for the second time would suit him. Secretly Hermione hoped so. Pushing her thoughts away, Hermione smiled at her two best friends and boyfriend.

Hermione, Draco, Thomas, Harry and Ginny left the house shortly after and found a nice little spot near a river to set up their picnic. They enjoyed their lunch, which consisted of chicken salad sandwiches, vegemite for Thomas, and a nice chocolate cake for dessert. They talked about work and life in general as they ate. Hermione had her mind on other things as well.

After they had finished eating, they headed back up to the manor. Harry and Ginny said goodbye and Hermione promised to come and visit them soon. Ginny said she couldn't wait. Hermione closed the front door of the manor and walked into the lounge room. Thomas was lying on one of the sofas half asleep. Draco had conjured a television for him to watch the Wiggle's. Hermione walked over to her boyfriend and wrapped her arms around him. He looked at her smiling.

"Draco. I have something to tell you." Hermione said looking serious. Draco frowned a little a pulled Hermione onto his lap.

"What is it Mione?" he asked.

"Well…I guess there isn't really an easy way to say this so I will just say it. I think…I think I'm pregnant."

Draco looked slightly shocked at this news but then his face softened.

"Are you serious?" he questioned. Hermione nodded.

"I think that's why I was sick this morning. I'm pretty sure I had morning sickness."

"Hermione…I…really? You mean I might be a dad again?"

"I'm going to find out for sure tomorrow." Hermione was trying to figure out how Draco felt about this news.

"Can…can I come with you?"

"Yeah. That's why I'm telling you now. I want you to be there when I find out. I need your support."

"Well we can get mum to watch Thomas for us while we go and find out. Unless you want to take him with us?"

"I was thinking we could bring him. He might only be 2 years old but he'll understand."

"Then it's settled. We go to the doctors as a family so we can find out if our little family will be bigger." Draco looked quite excited at the prospect of having another baby and Hermione was rather pleased. They decided against telling Narcissa until they got the test results.

"I have to go to St Mungo's and see if I can get in tomorrow. I'll be right back ok."

"Sure. Don't be too long. I might miss you." Hermione smiled and kissed him on the lips before apperating to St Mungo's. Luckily for Hermione there was an opening so she booked an appointment for two o'clock.
