Chapter 2
Draco stood outside the door not feeling quiet confident enough to knock on the door. 'I can't believe this. Never in my life have I felt nervous. I'm Draco Malfoy for God's sake,' Draco thought as he let his hand drop to his side. He walked off the doorstep and sat down on the hammock between two coconut trees.
How could he have let so much time pass when they had left Europe? It had been 8 years since he was supposedly going to meet her for the first time and Virginia had ran with her daughter. What was he saying? Since she had run here with their daughter. It had taken 18 years for him to finally see his daughter and she was his exact mirror image so he couldn't tell the world she wasn't his child. That night was still imprinted in his memory as if it hadn't been last week but last night.
'"God Draco please try being more gentle next time. I felt like if you were ripping me apart from my insides out."
Draco smiled at hearing her complain now and not during the actual act. "I didn't hear any complaining mixed in with the screaming last night."
"How could I talk when the only noises I could make were pleased ones? It amazes me any mortal man could be that amazing in bed."
"It amazes me how long you could go. I never thought I'd meet a woman who was as insatiable as I am."
"Well what do expect from any woman who was presented with the chance to lay with you?"
"True and also from what they expected to gain in return."
The raven-haired girl pushed herself up onto her palms with a confused face. "What do you mean?"
Draco stood from bed after pulling on the pants next to his bed. "What do you think?" He pulled out a small bag from a locked drawer and threw a handful of galleons onto the bed. "Leave. I want you out now."
She looked from him to the money and said "you think I slept with you for money?"
"Please. Don't make a show out of this. Just get dressed, take the money, and leave."
She stood up slowly in silence and pulled on her black dress. She sat down on the bed and began to strap her heels on when she said to him "I can't believe you assume that. Not every woman who sleeps with you is a whore expecting money in return."
She stood up with her chin held high and threw up the sheets causing the money to fly off the bed and hit the floor like golden drops of rain. "You can take your money and shove it Malfoy. I don't need or want any money from the likes of you."
She picked up her purse from the edge of an armchair and stormed out of the room. With a quick flick of his wand the galleons were in the bag and he grinned at himself. "What a shame. She seemed nice for a change and very respectful," he murmured. The door opened to the butler and a man in a trench coat. "Master Malfoy, Detective Connors claims to finally have pictures of the lady you wished to see."
Draco quickly ran to the detective and shook his hand with excitement. "Well let's move this to the drawing room. Dorian can you please tell Quinn to have my breakfast ready in a few minutes?"
"Of course Master. It will be prepared in time for your arrival." The butler closed the door after him and left Draco with the man.
The man shrugged off his coat and brought a large yellow envelope from a pocket. "All of this month's pictures. The younger girl was harder to photograph. It was as if she was aware of my presence and would cover herself. But I caught both of them in decent pictures."
He handed Draco the envelope and Draco tore the edges off. He pulled them out and sat down on the edge of his desk. He saw pictures of the thin red head with a girl her height and her hair pulled into a hat. She was kissing her cheek while she held her hand tightly in between them. He saw the red head's face repeatedly and she seemed to grow almost more appealing with every picture. "God you've gotten even more beautiful since the last time I saw you Virginia Annabel. But are you a lesbian now?"
The pictures involved Virginia in skimpy bathing suits tanning next to the beach, a girl with her hair again pulled into a hat untying her top and applying lotion to her back, and then her at night with a long drink in her hand while she was being held by a man with dark blonde hair, and finally the guy kissing her neck while she threw her head to the side and held his hand at her waist. Even though he had no official tie to Ginny he felt a small shock of jealousy. At least she seemed happy and was enjoying her new life on the beach. Then he reached the final two pictures, the only pictures taken in wizarding film. One was of a pale looking girl with bright blonde hair like his own that reflected light onto the pool next to her. She wore all black with a tight fitting blouse and a short pair of shorts. She stared off at the night sky and brushed her hair out of her face. The last was in what seemed to be the early morning. She wore white sleeping pants and a blue spaghetti strap shirt. She was writing in a thick book and arranging scrap pieces of paper while she cried. He finally noticed she had his empty grey eyes. She was his daughter.'
Draco shook his head and brought himself back to the present. "Virginia Annabel Weasley, why did you even have to be so dramatic about the pregnancy? If you had gotten rid of that pregnancy I would've been able to marry you in a few weeks and then had all the kids you wanted."
He had to admit he had fallen in love with her overnight. He appreciated her in secret during their school years and when she was finally in his arms he fulfilled all the dreams he had had with her in them. The only extra ingredient was her virginity. He hadn't planned on her being a virgin the only chance he actually had to make her his lover, even if it was for the one night. Bringing her that pain had proved to be the most torturous night of his life. How was he supposed to prove to her he loved her when he was making her cry and beg him to stop in protest of him trying to make love to her? Now she was a different woman. Probably married but he never noticed a ring on her finger or a man permanently attached to her side. He still could have a chance at winning her over. He had always dreamed of the family with all the children and the wife, the virgin wife. Virginia had applied and won the spot with no competition at all. She was the one he wanted as soon as she had smiled at him when she had returned her 5th year after having blossomed over summer. Those two silent years of torture was when he realized how much she meant to him without even speaking to her.
He had asked her out his last year as his date to the Yule Ball and she looked happy, about to accept but then her brother showed up with Potter trailing behind him and he had to insult her and walk away. He sent her red roses in apology with nothing but his first initial. They had small encounters alone and they had brief conversations about quidditch and such things they had in common. Once they had even snuck out the same night and ended up sharing a kiss near the lake.
He finally stood up and walked to the door. He knocked on the door and waited patiently for a few seconds. The door opened slowly and Ginny smiled weakly at seeing him. He wanted to at least smile out of kindness but could only mimic the weak grin. "Hi Draco. Good to see you."
He walked in when she moved aside and he replied "good to see you Virginia. You look beautiful."
He stared more at her breasts and question himself 'did they grow a bit more since I had seen her last time?'
She blushed a shade lighter than her hair and led him to the living room. He sat down while she stumbled lightly onto the sofa. Draco eyed her cautiously as she held herself up and as she nearly fell headfirst onto the seat. "Virginia you wouldn't happen to be drunk would you," he asked with suspicion.
She smiled and she sat up straight. "Not at all Draco. I simply had a few small sips of wine before you came to calm myself down. She's been awfully long now."
"So she's here right?"
"No. I sent her away to Africa as soon as I hung up with you last night."
She noticed the red blotches on his creamy white cheeks begin to appear as they always did when he was mad. "Draco I'm kidding, she's in the kitchen I think probably eating kiwis. She eats kiwis when she's nervous." Ginny was silent for a minute and then she shot up. "Oh my God. The only kiwis we have left are on the cake."
She headed towards the kitchen and saw Kyla crying with white icing on her fingers and not a single kiwi slice left on the cake. Kyla looked up at her mother and said, "I'm sorry mom. I was under pressure. I couldn't help myself. I promise I'll make you a new cake tomorrow."
Ginny rushed to her daughter with a wet cloth in her hands, she had grabbed from the sink. "It's okay the kiwis were for you."
"Don't lie to me mom. The kiwis were for him."
"No sweetie he's allergic to kiwis. I had forgotten so you did me a favor by eating them all."
Kyla, now with clean fingers and a tear stained face, stared at the tall man staring at her from the entrance of the kitchen. She stood up from the chair and said "hi."
He walked up to her and stood in front of her. "Um…Draco Malfoy and you are?"
She held her spot and her eyes began to water when she said, "you don't even know my name?"
He shook his head and answered quickly "your mother never told me your name. She wanted me to ask you directly."
Kyla's head turned to look at her mother. "Thanks mom. You tried to at least give us something to talk about for a few seconds."
She held her hand out and smiled brightly, "Kyla Weasley."
Draco shook her hand and said, "You're so beautiful. I never thought I'd see the day when I could even talk to you."
"I've always been here. You just had some trouble finding me. Now that you're here you can make up for lost times."
"I want to."
"My mother told me about your idea of us moving back to London."
"Yes. I want you two to move into my estate in the heart of London. At least spend the summer."
"Why are you so suddenly interested in being with us?"
"I finally saw you."
"Yes. I know she told me about the photographer."
"I was only curious. I wanted to see you before I met you in case if your mother tried to pull another trick on me and show me another girl in your place. She set that up once."
Kyla laughed and then she sat down. Ginny and Draco followed suit and Ginny piped up "you're in time for dinner Draco. Would you like to stay and eat?"
He smiled and said, "Only if you two want me to."
Ginny smiled and turned to Kyla. She nodded her head when he wasn't looking and Ginny began to set out the plates.
Kyla stared at how her father looked at her mother with such adoration on his eyes.
It was only plain to see that he still had some sort of attachment to her mother. "So Draco," she began, "what are you into these days?"
Draco stared in silence. Ginny noticed the dazed look on his face and she explained "your job. What type of job are you doing now?"
"Oh. I'm really into real estate now. My grandfather left me a few pieces of land scattered throughout the world and I'm trying to use them to their fullest advantages."
"You always did have a knack for getting the best use of untouched land." Ginny took a minute before she noticed she had butted into the conversation and how dirty her comment sounded when she put herself in the position of the land. Draco noticed her giggle to herself and knew that's he too had seen the humor in her statement.
Kyla smiled and said "yeah. Mom makes the best normal dinner without a flaming pig over an open fire in the whole chain of the islands."
"Well tell me then and how is her flaming pig dinner?"
"It's decent. She still can't move the pig and sauce it at the same time."
Kyla laughed at how her mother couldn't after 8 years turn a pig and always had to ask a random man to do it for her, which would result in a disaster involving a single date. Apparently the damsel in distress was a real turn on for guys and lucky thing her mother had perfected it over time.
Ginny put the food on the table and after having eaten she sat in silence waiting for her daughter to finish. Kyla knew she was eating slower than she normally did and was sure by now her mother would have eaten 2 seven-course meals and have lost 3 pounds. She tried to buy off time so she wouldn't have to answer about them moving to London. She was excited that at least her father wanted to be in her life but now that would mean he would try and hog all the love and that would backseat her mother for a while.
She finished the last bite and then stood automatically to take her dishes to the dishwasher. She loaded it and while her mother brought out the cake from the pantry she always had to put the cakes in. The dishes began to wash themselves and then she joined her mother in helping with the cake. She cut herself the biggest slice as she always did and then gave her mother the second biggest slice. She cut herself a slice in between the sizes of her own and her mothers and out it in front of Draco. Ginny sat down this time where Kyla was sitting forcing Kyla to sit next to him. Draco didn't seem at all bothered. He knew Ginny had a habit of eating dessert with her body hunched in towards the cake and that would allow him a few decent peeks of her delectable breasts. Ginny looked at her daughter and said "please don't stall Kyla just answer so I can calm down the rest for the night. You're making me go crazy here honey."
Draco smiled at the fact that she hadn't changed in the fact that she was as impatient as she ever was. He had to learn that the hard way while she was instructing him on how she wanted everything perfectly done so it had to be done a certain way. He had to obey her since she was a virgin; he at least had to give her that much happiness knowing her first time was just how she wanted it to be.
Kyla looked at her mother while she spooned a large heaping of frosting into her mouth. She swallowed it in one gulp and said, "I really want to go see London since I haven't been there in ages but I don't want you to feel all betrayed like if I ruined your life for suggesting we go back there."
Ginny laughed and said "well at least you thought it out that much. Fine then it's settled. We're going to move to London."
Kyla shoved a heap of cake and mumbled "for a year or two."
Ginny seemed to have heard her because she screamed "a year or two! Kyla, you are by far crossing the line. A year and that's it."
"But mom think about it. The lease it almost up and that means that we have to start anew contract anyway next month."
Ginny stared at her daughter and thought to herself in anger 'I can't believe this. I raised her away form her father and she still grows up to be like him. A conniving person who can manipulate me in a minute to do anything they want.'
"Well then. Draco it seems you has two new house guests."
Kyla looked at her mother and said with hope "permanent house guests?"
"Don't push your luck."
Kyla beamed at her mother and jumped from her chair to hug her tightly. She whispered in her ear so Draco wouldn't hear "he still love you."
Ginny laughed and patted her daughter on the back. They both sat down and Draco ate now knowing he was closer to having a family then he did two minutes ago. He now had a daughter whom he still had to legally adopt and a woman who he had to woo all over again and marry. He had to admit he had this weeks work cut out for him.
