A Year Later
After a shower and came back drying her hair. Draco was sitting up on her bed and smiled when he saw her.
"My feet are so tired." Jade complained and he rubbed her back.
"Do you want me to massage them for you?" he asked and Jade shook her head.
"My entire body hurts. Sometimes I feel like I do so much work and sleep so little, I wonder why I don't fall apart already. I'm glad that you're here, helping out with Zaara and all." Jade said, hugging him.
"Zaara gets more and more hyper every day. Her teacher told me she's the naughtiest one in the classroom but she has a good heart, standing up to the bullies and all that for other kids." Draco said, seeing Jade smile.
"Well what do you expect from a Weasley?" Jade asked.
"Do you want me to rub your back?" Draco asked, seeing Jade shake her head.
"Be my pillow." Jade said wrapping her leg around his waist.
"You want me to be your pillow for the rest of our lives?" he asked and Jade giggled nodding.
"Fine, but on one condition." he said turning the lights on.
"Anything." Jade said wondering why he opened the lights.
"Be my wife." he said, presenting her with a ring.
Jade stared at him dumbfounded and shocked.
"Oh dear God." Jade said blinking at him and then the ring.
"Well I'm going to pass out if you don't answer." he said and Jade's eyes blurred with tears.
"Draco…of course. Why would you even ask?" Jade asked as he slipped the ring on her finger and kissed it.
"I love you and I want you to be mine forever. I love you, I love Zaara, I love us." he said and Jade bit her lip from crying.
"I…I'm too choked up on…I love you." Jade said launching herself on him and hugging him tightly. Draco chuckled and kissed her shoulder.
"I understand." he said relieved and happy.
"Draco…so many things are running through my head. I really don't know how to tell you." Jade said and Draco shook his head.
"At least you said yes. That's all I wanted to hear." he said. "I could have done it somewhere public but I wanted it to be private…you know but Hermione and Ron knew." Draco said.
"And they didn't even tell me?" Jade asked.
"Kind of keeps the surprise factor doesn't it? I was waiting for your reaction." he said.
"Yeah and you've gotten one hell of a reaction." Jade said laughing with him.
In the morning, they did their usual routine of getting Zaara ready, making breakfast and leaving to their workplace.
"Good bye Mrs. Malfoy." Draco said grinning as Jade kissed him.
"Good bye Weasel lover." Jade joked. She was glowing that day at her workplace and told Nivea, her nurse assistant that she was engaged and Nivea squealed and congratulated her. She owled Hermione telling her they needed to have lunch today.
"Oh Hermione!" Jade sang seeing Hermione set Dillon back down in his crib at Hermione's house.
"Jade! Hey! I just prepared lunch." Hermione said and Jade walked with her to the kitchen. "So tell me what the important news is." Hermione said setting out small sandwiches. Jade stuck out her left hand and showed Hermione the engagement ring on her ring finger. Hermione looked normal but when the ring showed up, her eyes widened and she dropped her plate.
"HE PROPOSED!" Hermione said and Jade gave her a look.
"He told me you and Ron knew." Jade said hugging her best friend.
"Yes and we were waiting when you both would tell us together but I guess you came first. Oh I'm so happy for you." Hermione said starting to get misty eyed.
"Hey, it's all right. I finally have that one person I've ever loved in my life. He came a little late but, better late than never." Jade said and Hermione nodded. They snacked on their lunch and Jade had to leave.
"Thanks for the lunch Hermione, love you." Jade said kissing her cheek and hugging her.
"Not a problem. Make sure you tell Mum and Dad about the engagement and tell me when you fix a wedding date!" she said.
They didn't need such a lavish wedding with all the reporters buzzing in on them and uninvited guests. As they planned, Jade started to bring her things to his house and soon they were living together. Jade left her flat and was happy with her life. Draco started expanding out on being a father and he was having a blast. They planned their small wedding in the Bahamas on a beautiful island and the day before, Jade was with her sister in laws, Ginny and Hermione. They all talked about Draco and how they couldn't wait to tease him. Jade loved the change in her life and knew that it was a shocking one. She was going to marry Draco Malfoy, someone she would never think she would get married to in her life. She hardly ever thought about Harry anymore but the night before her wedding, she knew that her life took a new beginning.
In the morning, Jade felt a little queasy and threw up. Molly and the rest soothed her and told her she was getting wedding jitters and that it was completely normal.
"I still feel a little famished and bad." Jade said taking a couple of deep breaths and downing a glass of ice cold water. She slipped into her light and beautiful wedding dress that was embroidered in pearls and diamonds that Jade was very fond of.
"Gin, I need to eat something because I'm feeling very faint." Jade said and Ginny nodded.
"Here." Ginny said sitting next to her and feeding her a sandwich.
"Mmm, this is so good." Jade said.
"Jade! Why are you eating? You have to go now." Hermione said and Jade nodded but couldn't talk because of the food in her mouth.
"She's feeling sick and faint." Ginny said.
After a few sweet words with her brother's, Jade and the rest of the girls went to make their walk. Jade kissed her daughter who was one of her flower girls but stood right next to Draco. Zaara and Enya both held Sofia and Sandra's hand as they wobbled down the aisle giggling and throwing the flowers blowing kisses to everyone who giggled and smiled. Dean was the ring bearer so he screwed his face up and roared twisting his face and stomping his foot and growling which got everyone terrified.
"What the bloody hell is he doing?" Ron asked wondering if his son was possessed. Jade and the rest of the girls took a peak and started giggling madly as Dean reached the altar giving Ron the rings.
"Dean, why were you acting so strange?" Ron asked.
"I was the ring bear!" he said loudly and everyone cracked up. Draco laughed with Ron and his mates thinking that was one of the funniest moments of the wedding. The bridesmaids made their entrance and so did Jade and her father. It was that feeling all over again, but this time she was marrying the man she loved. She wasn't feeling like she was going to kill herself or scream and be pressured to marry someone she never loved, because now was completely different. She saw Draco looking at her calmly as her brothers stood there feeling at their happiest. Arthur let his daughter go and kissed her forehead giving her hand to Draco.
"I love you." Jade mouthed feeling her lower lip tremble.
"I love you too." Draco mouthed back seeing how gorgeous she looked today. They exchanged their vows in shaky voices and had their 'I do's' and exchanged rings.
"Well go on, kiss her!" the person who was marrying them said. Draco smiled and Jade let out a small giggle as the guests laughed. Draco swooped in and kissed her. Everyone got up and clapped as Jade grinned at him and he grinned back. They walked back and took a few pictures that Colin took for them.
At their reception, Jade laughed her arse off seeing Fred and George's kids dance with the adults. The children took over the dance floor and danced off having a great time.
"So Mrs. Malfoy, we should take a break from the pressures of making a wedding eh?" Draco asked and Jade grinned.
"Ah yes we do…so what did you have in mind?" Jade asked pressing close to him. Jade felt breathless in his arms because she was blown away by him. She rested her head on his shoulder and danced.
"Mummy! Daddy! You both got married!" Zaara said and they both nodded smiling.
"Come let's all dance together." Draco said picking Zaara up. Jade smiled supporting Zaara with Draco and the three danced with each other as everyone took pictures of the family.
"I hope she stays this way forever." Molly cried in her husband's arms.
"I also wish my baby to be happy too. I'm so thankful for Draco to come in her life and spreading that light that she desperately was looking for in her pitch black world." Arthur said feeling hot tears rise. He blinked them away but Molly knew her husband and comforted him.
"I loved that different variety of cakes and especially cheesecakes." Jade said and Draco laughed.
"I'm surprised you even got to see it, because your brothers made a head dive into them." Draco said.
Their week following the marriage went well but Jade didn't have a great time she had thought because she was unusually sick.
"Jade, what's wrong? Do you need to see a Healer?" Draco asked as Jade lied in bed, pale and nauseous.
"Please…I've been feeling like this all week. Jade said.
"I'll come right back." Draco said running out of the room. Jade wondered what was causing her mysterious sickness, suddenly being reminded how she felt during her first two pregnancies.
"Oh hell…" Jade said.
"Mum, Hermione, Jade's been really sick for the past couple of days and right now she doesn't look too good. Will you all just stay with her while I get a Healer?" Draco asked.
"Yes sure, of course dear." Molly said.
"Let's go Mum. Oh Draco, Ron and the boys are with the rest of the girls and the children so don't worry about Zaara." Hermione said and he nodded.
"Thanks." he said leaving.
"Oh dear, she needs to enjoy her honeymoon with Draco and here she is getting sick." Molly said as they walked to Jade and Draco's suite.
"She was even sick on her wedding day. She said she felt like fainting and threw up." Hermione said opening the door. They entered and saw Jade standing up with her mouth open with her wand casting a blue light over her stomach. Molly and Hermione stood there and for a second they wondered what she was doing but the blue glow was enough to make Molly faint.
"Oh my…" Molly breathed and Hermione caught Molly.
"Jade!" Hermione squeaked. Jade set her wand on her desk and helped Hermione with an unconscious Molly on the bed.
"You're pregnant?" Hermione asked and Jade nodded shaking Hermione's shoulders.
"Yes! Can you believe it? I feel so happy I'm going to throw up." Jade said and Hermione hugged her tightly. "I didn't know what it was at first, you know I thought it was just a cold or something, maybe I ate something but it didn't stop and every morning it continued. Until today! I thought I had to clear my thoughts but Mione! I'm pregnant!" Jade said grinning ear to ear.
"I'm going to be an Aunt again!" Hermione said laughing. The door opened and Draco came in with a Healer.
"Is this your wife?" the Healer asked squinting through her thick glasses.
"Actually…" Draco went to answer but she held a hand up.
"No worries." she said walking to Molly and checking her pulse.
"But-" Draco started seeing Jade and Hermione grinning and giggling.
"Well, she's just unconscious Mr. Malfoy. I think you need to give your wife some time to regain her senses. It happens to old people…" she said looking at the handsome and young man look at her unbelievably.
"Well she's not old…just a little…young too." the Healer said getting up.
"No, no, no." Draco said and the Healer shook her head.
"Yes she is. Now tell me please, did she fall?" the Healer asked.
"I don't know…she's my mo-"
"How could you not know? You're supposed to be her husband! No worries dear. You say she has been sick? I'll have to run a few tests on her." the Healer said. Draco started to get annoyed and Jade broke in.
"Healer, my mother just fainted because of a shock. She'll be better, nobody's hurt or sick here." Jade assured her.
"Oh really?" she asked getting up.
"Yes Healer. I'm a Healer myself." Jade said and the Healer nodded smiling.
"That's very nice. Mr. Malfoy, I don't think you should worry because your daughter will take care of your…wife." she said thinking that he should have married his wife's daughter.
"Listen…she is my wife." Draco said pointing to Jade and Jade smiled nodding. "And she is my mother-in-law." Draco said and the Healer stood silent for a moment looking at all of them.
"Ok, forget all about it. Now my wife," Draco said pointing to Jade "is supposed to be sick. Why aren't you sick and why is Mum unconcious?" Draco asked going over to Molly.
"She…well…because she saw something. Oh this is…weird." Jade said looking at the Healer.
"Ough, I feel so bad. Jade? Jade?! Where is she?" Molly asked sitting upright.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked and Molly gasped seeing Jade.
"Mum! Draco doesn't know yet. Are you all right?" Jade asked and Molly stopped.
"Oh uh well I'll be fine." she said softly.
"What's going on?" Draco asked wanting to be filled in rather than hear women code.
"I think it's best if we leave and leave the two of you alone." Molly said and Hermione nodded.
"Let's leave." Hermione said taking Molly.
"Nobody's hurt or sick thank you." Jade said politely to the Healer who nodded. She left and Jade locked the door with a wave of her hand.
"Are you all right?" Draco asked and Jade nodded walking to him and kissing him.
"I just wanted to say thank you for being here with me…I love you more than you could ever know." Jade said wrapping her arms around him.
"I love you too. What's wrong with you?" he asked still afraid of her strange illness.
"Nothing. It's completely normal." Jade said taking his hand.
"Normal? How normal is it because we're supposed to be shagging right now." he said and Jade laughed hitting him lightly.
"Oh stop it…here." Jade said placing his hand on her stomach.
"What…are you…doing?" Draco asked slowly.
"I'm pregnant, Draco." Jade said gently seeing the look on his face.
"What?" he breathed feeling his emotions swirl inside of him.
"Our child?" he asked holding her face. Jade nodded and was startled seeing him look like he was about to cry. "Jade…" he said going down to his knees and leveling his face to her stomach. He hugged her stomach and kissed it. Jade ran her hand through his hair and let her tears of joy fall with him as she felt him shake.
"I want a sister Mummy! But a brother is good too! Oh I don't know. Can we get both?" Zaara asked and Draco snorted in laughter.
"It doesn't work that way love." Jade said.
"How do you get babies? Do they just pop in your stomach?" Zaara asked and Jade looked at Draco.
"Er…the storks! You know the storks…well…they come and yeah." Jade said getting embarrassed.
"But Mummy, Uncle Ron and all the other Uncles told me that Draco sticks something in you to get a baby." Zaara said and Jade gasped narrowing her eyes.
"What else did they tell you?" Jade asked and Draco collapsed again still laughing.
"Nothing else…just that Draco sticks something in your stomach to get a baby. What does he stick inside?" Zaara asked.
"If you know, then you'll have babies." Jade said and Zaara gasped.
"Oh no!" she said. "Go to sleep Missy." Jade said scratching her head.
"So, Mrs. Malfoy…what do I stick inside?" he asked and Jade turned to him seeing Zaara trying to fall asleep.
"Something you won't have if you keep pressing further." Jade said sweetly and threateningly.
"Oh you can't live without my magic wand." he said making Jade start to laugh.
