Jade and Draco entered Jade's flat and Draco quietly placed a sleeping Alcaeus on a bed. Jade helped him take his shoes and suit off to make him sleep in comfort. They left the bedroom and walked to Jade's bedroom. Draco kissed her softly. Only he knew how much he missed those lips and her soft skin. She unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off, kissing him as tenderly as he kissed her. Jade unbuckled his belt and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him a bit more yearningly. He unzipped the back of her dress and felt it drop, revealing her full, swollen breasts and the round generous belly. Jade felt a bit self conscious. She gained so much weight and her stomach was so big, she wondered what his reaction would be. Instead, Draco smiled, leaned close to her ear and told her how much he loved her to be pregnant.
In the morning, Jade woke up feeling extremely hungry. She rummaged through the refrigerator and cabinets and found cereal. She was a bit angry at herself for not grocery shopping for herself…now what was she going to feed Draco and Alcaeus?
"Please let there be food." Jade said looking around.
"What are you looking for?" Draco asked walking into the kitchen.
"I can't find any food. I made dumplings the night before but who wants to eat that?!" Jade asked taking in a spoonful of cereal.
"Well if you can't find any food, I suggest you to come to the Malfoy Manor with me." Draco said taking her hand. He laced his fingers with hers and waited for her answer.
"Is that what I'm going to do when I don't find any food in my home?" Jade asked.
"Why would you look for food when you'll already live in my Manor?" Draco asked.
Jade wrinkled her nose and shook her head. "Dracula's castle? No thank you." Jade said.
"It's not that bad!" Draco said.
"Not that bad. I'm not used to living in a Manor with a thousand empty rooms. It just feels incomplete." Jade said.
Draco moved a piece of hair from her face. "We're having a child…so that means we need to live together where we both feel comfortable. I love your flat but it's too small for two children." Draco said seeing Jade nod.
"You're right but the Manor is way too big. If we have an army of children, I'd consider the Manor, but again…it's too big." Jade said.
"If you want…we can go house hunting. Not too big, not to small. A private area; large enough for everyone's space and small enough to come together at the end of the day and call it a home." Draco said.
In the next few weeks, Jade and Draco looked for houses far and wide but couldn't get a perfect one. Jade entered her 8th month of pregnancy and found it to be really hard to walk for a long period of time, so when usually looking for houses, Jade quickly sat down, feeling her feet and back hurt from the weight of the child. Jade almost gave up looking for a house until one day she spotted one with Hermione. It was a five bedroom, 6 bathroom house, with a full furnished kitchen, living room, den, attic, patio and a backyard, with a swimming pool. Jade immediately went to Draco and told him about the house. They went back the next day and after careful observation and consideration, they came to buy the house.
"What do you think of the new house Alcaeus?" Jade asked as Alcaeus looked around.
"I like it a lot." Alcaeus said.
