In the morning, Jade showered and brushed her teeth and woke Zaara up also.
"Let's go downstairs." Jade said holding her hand.
"I'm tired. I want to sleep. Grandpa." Zaara groaned.
"Oh, my sweetheart." Arthur said holding Zaara. Jade walked to the kitchen and helped out her mother as Ginny and Hermione came downstairs. They set the breakfast on the table and Jade felt it was so awkward for her to talk to Draco during breakfast. The two didn't even exchange good mornings and talked separately away from each other to different people even when they were sitting right next to each other. Nobody really noticed because that day they were supposed to leave.
"You have to come to our house to talk to my toy friends." Zaara said and they nodded.
"Now say bye to everyone else." Jade said.
"Bye Hermione, you also take care. Thanks for everything." Jade said hugging and kissing her.
"I'll visit often. You might start working again at St. Margin's right?" she asked and Jade nodded.
"We'll have lunch one day." Jade said launching herself on her brother.
"You, am I going to miss you stealing food again." Jade said as they laughed. "Love you Ron." Jade said kissing her brothers cheek.
"Ewww, get off me." Ron said.
"Come here my English prince." Jade said lending her arms towards Dean who reached back to her. She took him and Jade kissed him. "Aunty Jade loves you okay? And next week, when she visits, she'll bring loads of Ninja toys and candy." Jade said and he nodded kissing her cheek.
"I love you Aunty Jade." he said cutely.
"Love you more my love." Jade said grinning. She set him down and apparated.
"Jade but-!" Molly stopped, seeing that Jade was already gone. Everyone turned towards Molly, worried.
"Did she forget something?" Ron asked.
"Well it looks like she forgot to say goodbye to Draco." Molly said.
"Well, that's the last of packing." Draco said, coming down the stairs. He looked up at everyone and looked around for Jade and Zaara.
"Jade and Zaara left?" he asked.
"Jade forgot to say…wait women never forget! What did you do? You got into a fight with her didn't you?" Ron asked, pointing a finger at him.
"Leave Draco alone." Molly warned.
"Sorry everyone but I have a lot of things to do so I have to get going. Bye, thank you for your hospitality Mrs. Weasley." Draco said, hugging Molly.
"You're welcome any time, dear." Molly said. After a few quick hugs and handshakes, Draco apparated as well.
"Wonder what happened, they didn't even talk to each other this morning." Hermione said.
Jade apparated into her apartment and she looked around seeing it was exactly as she left it.
"Yay! We're back!" Zaara said.
"Okay love, go draw or something and Mummy will be right back." Jade said going to unpack her things.
Jade started work the next day and sent Zaara off to day care. She received a letter from Harry telling her that she would have to come to Azkaban to get her papers because they won't permit anyone to use owls. She sent her brother to retrieve the papers and she got them back signed and all. She thought the process was going to take some time but the charges she wrote in was enough to tell her she was divorced in one week. She was finally single but thoughts of Draco came to her mind, she wondered if she was really single or not.
It was two weeks since they hadn't talked to each other and Jade noticed that absence really did make the heart grow fond. She really missed Draco and wanted to tell him to forget things but she would seem so busy and wondered why he wouldn't owl to her.
"All right Max, you're done." Jade said making notes.
"What's wrong with him Healer?" Max's mother asked.
"Don't worry Mrs. Wilson, Max just developed dragon pox and I'm happy that you sent him as fast as possible because if it was a little later, he would have to be shifted to the beds to get his treatment started. Any who, I will give you a prescription pill and cream that you would have to-" Jade was cut off by seeing Hermione enter.
"Hey Hermione, I'll be right there." Jade informed her and Hermione nodded. "Yes, the pill must be taken two times a day and the cream has to be rubbed on him in the morning and at night. Okay?" Jade asked and Max's mother nodded.
"Thank you Healer Sanders." she said and Jade nodded.
"Bye Max." Jade said warmly and he waved to her. Jade ran to Hermione and hugged her tightly.
"What are you doing? Up and about?" Jade asked and Hermione nodded.
"My last days of pregnancy…and I wanted to have lunch with you." she said.
"Thank you for that honor." Jade said as they laughed. "Let's go." Jade said taking her lime green robes off. "So what do you want to eat?" Jade asked putting an arm around Hermione's shoulder.
"Oh…whatever you want. I'm fine eating whatever." Hermione said. They apparated off to Hogsmeade and walked around trying to find a place to eat.
"I think we should go in here." Hermione said and Jade nodded. Jade wondered what Hermione was up to because she knew exactly where she was going. "So, have you spoken to Draco in a while?" Hermione asked and Jade knew this question was going to be raised.
"No I haven't. Did you?" Jade asked as Hermione walked right past the waiter who was going to seat them. "Hermione we-"
"I've seen Draco but it's strange because he doesn't even talk about you anymore and Ron said he's been so down and bitter lately." Hermione said walking through empty tables.
"There are tables here." Jade said and Hermione shook her head taking her hand.
"Ron's here, that's why I didn't need to be seated. They're waiting for us." Hermione said.
"They? Who's they?" Jade asked and Hermione waved to Ron. Jade looked where she was waving and saw Draco and Ron in a table together.
"I hope you don't mind. I love you to death." Hermione said and Jade gave her a desperate look.
"Hermione, I haven't spoken to him for nearly a month!" Jade said and Hermione pushed her there.
"Wait, you didn't tell me Jade was coming." Draco said turning to Ron when he saw Jade.
"Well who would have known she came? Hermione brought her here." Ron said.
"Well she doesn't want to come here so I'll leave." Draco said and Ron sat him back down.
"What's gotten into the both of you?" Ron asked and Hermione dragged Jade to their table. "Welcome back fatty." Ron teased kissing her.
"Shut up and stuff yourself." Hermione said sitting with Jade.
"Hi." Jade softly giving him a small smile.
"Hi." Draco said watching her sit.
"Ron." Jade said knowing full well that Ron and Hermione were to blame.
"It has been such a long time since we all sat down and ate together eh?" Ron asked smiling.
"Sure has." Draco said.
"I'm hungry, let's order." Hermione said picking up her menu.
"You and Ron planned this didn't you?" Jade asked very quietly acting as if she was discussing the food with Hermione.
"Well, couldn't it be coincidence?" Hermione asked starting to giggle.
"Coincidence my arse, what's so funny?" Jade asked and Hermione pointed to a serving.
"We like the tension." she whispered.
"You arse." Jade said and the women started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ron asked looking around.
"Mind your own business Ronald." Hermione said. She went back to whispering with Jade. "I wish you would just at least talk to each other. I'm sure it's not that bad, whatever it is you both are fighting about." Hermione said.
"It's a little embarrassing actually-" Jade started to say.
"Tell me Hermne, I'd like to know what's going on for once." Draco said and Hermione looked at Jade.
"No." Jade said and Draco looked at her.
"Nobody was talking to you Weasel." Draco said and Jade glared at him.
"What the hell is your problem? Why do you take every small thing and make a scene out of it?" Jade asked.
"Why do you ask questions and answer them yourself? I actually don't even know what we're even fighting about. Can you believe that?" Draco asked Ron who gave a mouth shrug.
"Believe me; I know exactly what you're talking about." Ron said.
"If you don't know why we're fighting, why are you mad at me?" Jade asked.
"I apologized that night to you for doing whatever I did to make you feel bad-"
"You didn't do anything." Jade said.
"Then the next morning you just left without saying goodbye. If anything, you were still mad at me and I was giving you space until you calmed down and reached out to me to talk." Draco said. Jade sighed.
"I know and you're right." Jade said. Hermione suddenly gasped and Jade jumped. "What?" Jade asked.
"Jade…he's coming!" Hermione said and Jade saw below that her water broke.
"Yup, let's go!" Jade said sliding out of her chair. "Ron, she's going to deliver Dillon." Jade said and Ron yelped up. Jade apparated off with Hermione and took her to the labor room. Jade called a few Healers and told them to prepare for the birth. Jade wore her scrubs and put a headpiece and mouthpiece on. Ron knocked on the door and Jade saw his red head.
"Get in and wear this, this and this. Wash your hands thoroughly. Did you inform Mum, Dad and Hermione's parents?" Jade asked and Ron nodded.
"Wow, I can't wait until he comes out." Ron said and Jade smiled.
"Me either. Stay with Hermione and I'll let the others know." Jade said hurrying off.
She apparated to Dean and Zaara's day care and picked them up. At her apartment, she delivered the good news to Dean and Zaara and they jumped and screamed in joy.
"Calm down you two!" Jade said giggling. She prepared dinner and Ron knocked on Jade's door. "Congratulations for a second time." Jade said and he grinned.
"Same to you." he said preparing for a huge jump from the kids.
"I HAVE A BABY BROTHER!" Dean yelled and Ron grinned.
"Yes you do you old man." he said grinning at his five year old.
"Me too!" Zaara said and she warned Ron not to call her an old lady. Jade laughed out loud and set the table and served the food.
"It's waking up over and over again all over again." Ron said and Jade smiled.
"You're a great father." Jade said.
"Thanks. It's just that…I'm so tired sometimes but I love waking up and feeding them and when you hear him burp, that is so satisfying." Ron said and Jade giggled agreeing with him. They talked for a while and Ron brought up Draco.
"I really feel like an idiot because we both knew that we care about each other but nobody ever made an attempt to see how the other has been you know? But I miss him…a lot. Don't tell him Ron, please? I just want to see if he'll ever come to me." Jade said.
"One thing you should know love, is that when two people really truly care about each other, you shouldn't be stubborn. If you both had a small fight, whosever fault it was, it doesn't matter because you should say sorry even if it wasn't your fault. Hermione and I always do that...but it's me mostly than her because women are stubborn." he sang and Jade hit him.
"No we're…yeah you're right." Jade said and Ron laughed. "He said he was sorry the same night we had the fight but I was too embarrassed to say I was sorry." Jade said.
"When Hermione says she's sorry, I don't find it to be amusing or funny…I don't think it's embarrassing at all even if you feel it but if you tell Draco you were sorry also, he would forget any fight that the two of you ever had." Ron said. Jade sat there silently.
"Well I better head home, I'm taking a day off tomorrow, and savor my sleep well." he said and Jade laughed walking him to the door.
"Take care, if you need me to take care of Dean or anything; tell me." Jade said, seeing him nod. "Will do. Take care of yourself." He said, giving her a hug. He apparated off and Jade closed the door.
