For the next few days, Jade visited Hermione at her workplace and told her how fun it was to see Dean look so excited.

"Done with your food? Now I want both of you to take a bath and go to sleep." Jade said. She ate and helped them with their bath, rubbed lotion over them and tucked them in bed, making up a story and letting them fall asleep. Jade took a shower and felt comfortable to walk around with her towel wrapped around her. She grabbed a box of cookies thinking if Draco didn't want her then she had no plans of staying in shape. She plopped down on the sofa, slowly biting into the soft baked cookies.

"Why must you be perfect? Will you marry me Mr. Chocolate Chip? Actually no forget about that. Don't want to get married anytime soon." Jade said biting them and reading a book with her glasses and her crossed legs on the table.

"I see some things never change." a voice said making Jade jump and her book fall. She gasped so quickly that a particle of the cookie entered her airway and she coughed violently, trying to cover herself up.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jade exclaimed seeing Draco lean on her dining table.

"Why are you always wearing a towel when I drop by?" Draco asked. Jade looked at him incredulously, drinking a glass of water.

"Kids are asleep and this is what I do to spend time with myself. This is my house if you haven't noticed already." Jade said.

"Sorry about that." he said and Jade got up.

"No it's all right. What did you need?" Jade asked holding the towel tightly around her and goose bumps rising when he walked over to her.

"What do you think?" he asked and Jade stared at him taking off her glasses.

"I don't know." Jade said and he looked over her. "Maybe I should get dressed." Jade said.

"This is getting ridiculous Jade…all of this. We haven't spoken for a month over nothing so I want to stop this and ask you out for dinner." he said and Jade blinked.

"Then ask me." Jade said and he gave her a sarcastic look.

"Would you?" he asked and she nodded.

"When?" she asked.

"Tomorrow…I'll pick you up from work." he said and Jade nodded. "Owl me when you're done from work ok?" he asked and Jade nodded.

"Bye." Jade said wishing he would just kiss her.

"Bye." he said looking very restrained from kissing her. He apparated off and Jade shuddered and was so happy. She ran into her bedroom and changed into her nightgown.

In the morning, Jade got Dean and Zaara ready and took them to the day care before she went to her workplace. She said goodbye to them and apparated to her office.

"Hey Hermione." Jade said seeing Hermione look up from a magazine.

"Jade! How's everything?" she asked and Jade nodded.

"First tell me how you are." Jade said.

"With all this magic, I've healed completely." she said and Jade clicked her teeth.

"You still need a little rest. Yesterday, Ron said he needed to work overtime so I had Dean over…he's such a good kid. He fell asleep before Zaara." Jade said and Hermione laughed.

"I hope he didn't give you any trouble." she said and Jade shook her head.

"He is NEVER trouble. Trouble is Zaara, who's always up to mischief. But Hermione, guess who came to visit me yesterday!" Jade said and Hermione gave up. "Draco!" Jade said and Hermione gasped.

"How? When? Why?" Hermione asked and Jade calmed her down.

"He came after I put the kids to sleep and asked me out for dinner." Jade said.

"Dinner…today?" Hermione asked and Jade nodded.

"I'm so nervous Hermione." Jade said.

"You shouldn't! I mean finally someone's stepping up to this fight!" Hermione said and Jade gingerly put her head down.

"I'm going to apologize to him. I realize that I really do miss him…and Hermione…I think I love him." Jade said.

Jade sat back in her chair reviewing the test she was going to take tomorrow for the rounds she did around the hospital. She heard a knock and she snapped her fingers opening the door.

"Thank Merlin you're back Nivea, I thought you went to your lunch break before sending my supplies down." Jade said not hearing a respond.

"Ni-er Hi." Jade said seeing Draco smirk at her from the doorway.

"Excuse me sir." a short plump nurse said carrying a box filled with supplies. "Well I'm here Healer Sanders, before your lunch break as you had said." she said and Jade nodded showing the supplies to a chair.

"I'll be right with you Draco." Jade said opening the boxes with Nivea.

"Ok, Niv, this is normal, unlike the last time." Jade said and Nivea nodded.

"I know right? Who needs wrenches and crowbars in a pediatric Wing?" she asked bouncing on her heels and looking at Jade and Draco. Jade laughed and Draco smirked looking at Jade.

"Psychos like Jade." Draco answered and Nivea laughed. "

You tell her." Nivea said leaving.

"Bye Nivea!" Jade said smiling.

"Bye Healer Sanders." she said.

"I am not a psycho." Jade said taking off her robe.

"Sure you're not. Let's go psycho." he teased and Jade stuck her tongue out at him. She hung her robe on a hanger in her locker and checked herself in the mirror.

"You look beautiful." he said seeing her stop pulling her hair back.

"Thanks." Jade said letting her hair go. "Let's go." Jade said and Draco nodded.

"Ready?" he asked getting up.

"Yes." Jade answered.

"Let's go." he said grabbing her hand and apparating to Hogsmeade.

"Where are we going?" Jade asked.

"Somewhere quiet…" he said and entering a foreign restaurant which Jade had never been in.

"Oh wow." Jade said looking around a dimly lit restaurant and music softly playing somewhere. Everything was so intimate, the walls were red and there was huge fireplace blazing and tables scattered. Chandeliers glittered like crystals above them and this whole place was one thing that Jade could describe.

"Romantic." Jade said and Draco looked to her. "I was talking to myself." Jade said looking around as they walked to their table. Draco sat Jade down like the gentleman he was and they ordered their food.

"Draco, you didn't have to do this." Jade said and he nodded.

"I know I didn't but I wanted to. I wanted to tell you that I was sorry about the other day. I just got a little heated about things." he said. Jade got up and moved her chair close to him. She took his hand and weaved her fingers through it.

"The one saying sorry should be me. I messed us up because of something so stupid that someone should slap me over the head for. I'm sorry for keeping things from you and acting as if nothing happened. The truth is, I just wanted to know where we were as…a couple." Jade said, seeing him raise his eyebrows.

"I know it's stupid. Really small to get into a huge fight over but I didn't want to make such a big deal out of it." Jade said.

"Would it help if I asked you to marry me?" he asked, seriously. Jade's eyes widened. "Uh…that was supposed to be a joke." Draco said.

"You're a basket full of surprises, you know that?" Jade asked, seeing him smile. "I care about you and not having you around for the past weeks killed me!" Jade said and Draco touched her cheek softly.

"For now on, I won't hold back anything from you." Draco said kissing her hands.

"You better not." Jade joked kissing him.

"How about you come over for dinner and the three…actually four are going to have a nice private dinner with no paparazzi." Jade smiled.

"Four?" he asked.

"Dean. Ron said he's been so busy that he needs Dean to stay over at my place. So can you?" Jade asked holding his hand.

"I have things to do, I'll be late though." he said.

"And we'll be waiting." Jade said.

"Don't wait for me if I'm not coming." he said.

"That's if you're not coming. Owl me if you can't." Jade said.

"Sure." Draco said.

"Hopefully I'll see you this evening." Jade said kissing him.

"Hopefully. Take care Jade." he said.

Jade apparated back to her office and continued with her work. She told Hermione all about the dinner and told her they were together again. Jade then left back to her house after picking up Zaara. She told Zaara that a special person is coming to their house and Zaara wondered who it was. She kept asking and asking and then she started guessing. When Draco stopped by, he surprised Zaara, receiving loving hugs and kisses from her.

"Ok missy, you know what time it is." Jade said and Zaara jumped up.

"Can Draco take a bath too?" Zaara asked and Jade laughed seeing Draco widen his eyes.

"If he does, then I'll go blind." Jade said shielding herself from a pillow he threw.

"You want to bet?" he asked and Jade laughed seeing Zaara go to the bathroom.

"Sure, but you'll lose." Jade said letting him have her hand when he reached out for her.

"Let's see." he said tugging her on his lap. He kissed her slowly and felt her hair tied from a rubber band. He tugged it off and felt her silky locks fall softly through his fingers.

"Mummy!" Zaara yelled from the bathroom. Jade pulled away and frowned.

"Coming! Sorry, I'll come back." Jade said getting up. Draco followed her to the bathroom and saw Zaara fill the bathtub with water. "Good girl, but next time don't ever do this without Mummy here okay?" Jade asked and Zaara nodded. Jade saw all her floating water toys in the bathtub and she shook her head as Zaara complained.

"Mummy! Draco's here!" Zaara said and Jade turned to Draco smiling.

"I won't look." he said turning around. Zaara slipped in the water and covered herself in bubbles and told him when it was okay to look. Jade and Draco both talked as Zaara had fun in the bathtub. She splashed a little water on the both and Jade thought it was a wicked idea to splash some on him. She threw water at him and he threw water back at her.

"Okay, Mummy, come out." Jade said letting the water drain.

"Already?" she asked and Jade nodded.

"Yes already." Jade said getting a towel.

"This was fun." Draco said drying his shirt after putting Zaara to sleep.

"Good. Now you belong to us!" Jade said. "Draco?" Jade asked.

"Yes?" Draco asked as they led each other to Jade's bed. Jade pushed him on the bed and went on top of him cuddling against him.

"Do you have to go now?" Jade asked.

"I'll stay as long as you want me to." he said running his hand through her hair.

"Why? Do you have work?" Jade asked and he nodded.

"I'll stay until you go to sleep." he said and Jade shook her head.

"No, it's ok. Go finish your work and sleep." Jade said kissing him.

"Sleep isn't important." he said and Jade thought he was crazy.

"I love sleep." Jade said feeling her heart start to beat fast.

"Do you know what else I love?" Jade asked running a hand on his cheek and kissing it.

"What?" Draco asked softly.

"You." Jade said pausing and reading his expression.

"What?" Draco asked again, but this time as if he was mistaken.

"I really love you Draco." Jade said wanting him to know how much he meant to her. "I really don't mind if you don't but I wanted you to know that there's someone that loves you a lot. That I love you because I do and I'm here for you if you need me to be here for you. I just wanted to let you know that." Jade said feeling like she poured out her heart to him.

"You…are you sure?" he asked.

"Draco, of course I'm sure." Jade said and looked down.

"That's it. Now I can die happily if I have to." Jade said feeling him touch her face and kiss her. He kissed her gently and enveloped her into something she would never forget. He kissed her feeling himself lose all control and he wondered how he felt when he was with her. There was one thing that came to his mind as he thought how he felt about her.

'Something I'll never probably ever feel about another woman again.' he thought as he kissed her.

"Draco." Jade said rolling on top of him. "I love you too." she heard. She stopped all of a sudden and thought whether she was hallucinating.

"I love you too." he said again this time shifting himself to look her dead in the eyes. "I'm not saying this to make you happy…well it is but it's something I want you to know also. I realized that you'll be the only one in my life and that I couldn't even stop thinking about you after we had our fight. That's when I realized how much I loved you but didn't say it because I couldn't think that was love. I want to protect you and to be here for you also. I love you and I probably wouldn't love anyone as much as you do to me." he said and Jade cried.

"Draco…" Jade said feeling her throat tightening.

"It's true." he said.

They spent an hour talking until Jade fell asleep in his arms. Draco lied back and looked at the clock seeing it was two in the morning. He hated to leave her but he had to leave because of his work at the Ministry.

"Draco…love you." Jade said in her sleep and turned around, hugging a pillow.

"I love you too." Draco said placing a kiss on her forehead.
