Last one for now... until I can finish the next chappie... Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Sigh... if only if only the woodpecker sighs... That I COULD HAVE DRACO AS MINE!

Ginny awoke to the sound of her daughter crying. She threw back the covers to her bed and got up. She picked the screaming infant up from the crib and brought her to the kitchen.

"Mistress, Fizz made bottle for baby." The elf squeaked as it held out a bottle for the baby.

"Thank you Fizz. Ella, sweetheart, here you go." Ginny said as she popped the nipple of the bottle into the baby's mouth. The infant quieted quickly and started to eat. Ginny walked over to the window, sat on the edge of the wide sill, and put her feet up. She looked down at her daughter and sighed. She looked just like Draco. Her hair was soft and blonde. Her eyes, which had once been a cold blue, had turned to a warm liquid gray. Her lips were the same shape and she had his dimples. The only thing she had gotten from Ginny was her freckles. Ginny dosed off while holding Ella. She awoke later to find that she was no longer holding her daughter. She panicked. She shot up from her spot and started to look around. She didn't see Ella anywhere. She raced to her bedroom to find Lucius Malfoy leaning over Ella's crib tucking her in.

"Lucius, you scared me out of my wits." Ginny cried.

"Shhh… come with me." He said as he shooed her out of the room. He quietly shut the door.

"What's the meaning of this?" Ginny asked more quietly.

"I have wonderful news." Lucius said smiling. Ginny became curious. Lucius never smiled unless he was holding his granddaughter.

"Well, what is it?" Ginny asked.

"They have all been locked up. Every single one of them. You can come home." Lucius said.

"Locked up? I'm free? I can see my family again?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, immediately if you wish. I can watch Gabriella if you'd like." Lucius said.

"No, no I'm fine. I will wait until she is done with her nap. She never sleeps. Maybe I'll sleep. Oh Merlin, how wonderful that sounds." Ginny said smiling.

"I'll stay for a while with you. Let you have a break. Go to sleep luv." Lucius said kissing her forehead.

"Thank you, oh thank you!" Ginny said happily, as she hugged him. She went back to bed and slept. All she could dream about was Draco though. Draco and her. Draco, her, and Ella. She dreamed of Draco holding Ella. She dreamed of Draco holding her. Kissing her. Loving her. She awoke smiling. Something she hadn't done in a while. She showered and got dressed in a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. She felt wonderful. She walked out to the living room to find Lucius playing with Ella.

"Looks like you two are having fun." Ginny said smiling.

"Yes, we are. I bathed, fed, and dressed her. So she is happy. Well for now at least. Are you ready to go?" Lucius asked.

"Yes, well what about my things?" Ginny asked.

"I'll have some elves do it. Come on Gin, you need to see the real world. You have been secluded for way to long." Lucius said.

"Let me put on my shoes." She said as she sat down and slipped on her sandals. She looked very happy.

"Okay, let's go. Come here baby." Ginny said as she held out her hands to her daughter. Ella thrust her tiny arms towards Ginny signaling for her to hold her. Ginny took her from Lucius and smiled.

"Alright. Diagon Alley is where we are headed." Lucius said.

"Alright. Meet you there." Ginny said as she apparated away holding her laughing daughter. When she landed, she found herself in front of the store that had landed her in this mess in the first place. She was looking at the store spitefully when she heard a pop behind her. She spun around to face Lucius.

"Let's get out of here." Lucius said as he placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her down the street. They stopped at a café and sat down.

"I have to meet someone soon but I'll be right back shortly. Give me five minutes I swear." Lucius promised.

"Alright." Ginny said as she bounced Ella on her knee. Lucius walked down the street and Ginny looked at her daughter.

"What in the world did your grandfather dress you in?" she wondered aloud. Ella was dressed in a light green sundress with a white sweater and sandals on. He had even attempted to do her hair. A small tuff of it was held up by an elastic band. He had tied a green ribbon around it.

"I see he got very creative today. At least it is better than when he dressed you in stripes and dots. That was bad wasn't it?" Ginny cooed. Ella giggled back. Ella's focus quickly left Ginny and it turned to someone on the street.

"What is it baby? Do you see your grandfather?" Ginny asked as she looked up. She nearly dropped Ella when she found that it was not Lucius staring at them, but in fact Draco.

Draco stood waiting for his father. He had told him to meet him here at noon. Draco spotted him coming his way.

"I see you finally decided to show up." Draco chuckled.

"Don't go there boy, you still are not too big to be spanked." Lucius warned.

"What took you so long and why are we here?"

"My other engagement took longer than expected. And if you would kindly walk down to the café on the corner you will see why you are here." Lucius said.

"If you are trying to set me up it won't work. I won't date anyone else." Draco refused.

"No, no of course you won't. Just go down the street and I promise you'll be surprised." Lucius instructed.

"Whatever you say Father." Draco sighed as he walked down the street. He stopped at the Café where his father had told him and started to look around. He didn't notice anything until he heard a baby coo. He turned in the direction and his heart had almost stopped. There sat Ginny. His Ginny. Holding a baby. The child looked familiar. Ginny was talking to the little girl about clothes. The baby's attention brought her interest elsewhere. Towards Draco himself. The little girl got excited and started to laugh. Ginny looked up and she looked shocked.

"Draco?" She finally managed.

"Ginny." He sighed.

"Draco!" She cried as she stood and ran to him. He caught her in his arms and started to hug her. Baby and all.

"Draco, I thought I would never see you again." She said as she started to cry.

"Oh Ginny." He said softly as he captured her lips. Suddenly the baby got fidgety.

"Oh Ella." Ginny laughed as she looked down at the baby. Draco looked down also. The baby looked like him he realized.

"Ginny, when did we, I mean when did…" He stuttered.

"On my birthday, do you remember?"

"How could I forget?" Draco asked.

"Well… I ended up having Ella nine months later to the day." Ginny laughed. Draco laughed with her and took the baby into his own arms.

"Ella, I like that name." He sighed as he looked at his daughter.

"Well, her name is Gabriella, but I call her Ella for short. Gabriella Patience Malfoy." Ginny said as she lightly touched the baby's soft blonde hair.

"It's a beautiful name, for a beautiful little girl." He said as he kissed Ella's cheek. Ella laughed and cooed.

"She likes you." Ginny said smiling.

"I'm glad." Draco replied as he rubbed his nose in the crook of Ella's neck. She squealed in delight. Suddenly her eyes were caught with something else.

"I see she has my attention span." Draco chuckled.

"What'cha looking at Ella?" Ginny asked. Ella threw her arms out. She wanted to be held but Ginny didn't know by who. She turned her head and spotted whom she wanted. Lucius Malfoy was strolling down the street towards them.

"That's who." Ginny said realizing.

"How does she…?" Draco began to ask.

"He helped me Drake. He's the one who hide me and he helped me when I had Emma." Ginny told him.

"I'll take her." Lucius said as he grabbed Ella in passing.

"Hey!" Draco cried.

"You'll get her back." Lucius told him.

"I better, I was getting attached." Draco laughed.

"You'll see her again… she losses interest after a while and falls asleep." Ginny laughed.

"Is my father really that boring?" Draco asked.

"To a six-month-old… he can be quite dull." Ginny told him.

"Well… alright then. Come on then. Let's get away while we have some time to ourselves." Draco said pulling her away.
