Chapter 14

"I think that's the last box," Ginny said, glancing around at the sea of boxes in their now huge living room.

"You want to start unpacking now or do you want a tour?" Draco asked.

"Give me the tour first," Ginny smiled. Draco led her through the house and it eerily reminded her of when she'd first seen the Malfoy Manor.

"And this," Draco pushed open a door, "Is our room."

Ginny gasped. The room was already fully furnished in beautiful wooden shelves and tables. The bed was huge, as usual, and was looked over by a large silk canopy. The bathroom was almost as big as the bedroom and included a large shower, a Jacuzzi, and matching sinks. "Draco, this place is amazing."

"I'm glad you like it," he kissed her gently, "now, if it's ok with you, I've been wanting to try out this shower for a while."

"I hate my job!" Ginny exclaimed as she came through the fire. She groaned and threw herself on the couch, kicking her shoes off.

"How was your day?" Draco asked hopefully. She glared up at him and he shrugged before saying, "I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but we have to be at my parents' house in less than an hour."

"Shit," Ginny mumbled. She pushed herself up and dragged herself up a few floors to the closet in their room. "Draco," she moaned, "I don't know what to wear."

He walked into the room behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "You can go naked if you'd like, I wouldn't mind."

Ginny smiled and turned around to kiss him gently before asking, "That's a great idea, but seriously, what should I wear?"

"How about that nice silk black gown that makes you look incredibly sexy," he said, kissing her neck gently.

"Draco, I don't own any black gowns," Ginny said, puzzled.

"Oh really?" he asked, "What about that box on the bed?"

"Draco, you didn't," Ginny insisted, hurrying over to the bed and staring at the box. "Really, you didn't!"

"Try it on," Draco said calmly, leaning against the doorframe.

Ginny pulled the lid off the box and gasped. Holding up to her body she said, "God, it's beautiful." After stripping her work suit clothes off she pulled the gown up and asked, "Can you zip me up?" Draco walked over to zip the dress up, his hands brushing lighting against her back. When she was fully zipped up she turned to face him and asked, "How do I look?"

"Like a Malfoy," he smiled down at her and kissed her gently.

"I'm nervous," Ginny whispered to Draco. "I don't know half of these people, but they'll still recognize me as a Weasley."

"No they won't," Draco whispered back, "You've grown up since some of these people last saw you and don't worry, your hair isn't Weasley red anymore." Ginny smiled up at him and he asked, "Are you ready?" She nodded and he offered her his arm before he pushed open the doors to the ballroom and they walked in.

"Oh, Draco," Lucius walked over to the couple and shook Draco's hand before leaning down to kiss Ginny on the cheek. "You look stunning," he whispered to her. He smiled, "I'm so glad you were able to come."

"Thank you for inviting me," Ginny said, smiling back.

"How could I have a celebration banquet for my son without inviting his fiancé?" Lucius said.

"Celebration? What are we celebrating?" Ginny asked.

"You didn't tell her?" Lucius asked Draco. Draco shook his head and Lucius said, "I've decided to leave Malfoy Industries for good. Draco will take over my position as owner and chief executive of the company."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ginny asked Draco.

"I wanted it to be a surprise," Draco asked, "Now, come on, there are a lot of people who want to meet you."

Ginny smiled nervously before letting Draco lead her around the room. Before the evening was over she had met more people then she could count and she would never remember any of their names. Before she could wrap her mind around the whole situation a voice behind them said, "Draco, darling, it's so good to see you."

Draco and Ginny turned around. Ginny's jaw dropped open and Draco's eyes opened widely. The woman standing behind them was barely dressed in a purple sequin dress and stiletto heels. "Pansy?" Draco asked, shock written across his face.

"Oh, you remember me?" Pansy said, her eyes smoldering over Ginny, "I haven't seen you since our seventh year," she sighed dramatically, "but now I see why. You've been busy with," she looked at Ginny, "I'm sorry, what's your name?"

"Ginevera," Ginny said testily.

"Whatever," Pansy said, brushing past Ginny, "Draco, I'm so happy you've finally been promoted. Malfoy Industries has always worked close with the Parkinson Trading Company." Pansy smirked at him, a sexual innuendo plain on her face, "I'm looking forward to us working close together." She glanced at Ginny and said, "It was nice to meet you Gwynaviere." Pansy smiled once more at Draco and paraded out of the room.

"You'll be working closely with that," Ginny paused and stuttered for words, "that tramp?"

"Ginny, Pansy just said all those things to try and get me to leave you for her," Draco said, "and it isn't going to work." He glanced around the room where all the other guests were mingling and chatting. "Can we talk about this later?"

Ginny sighed, "No, it's ok Draco, I shouldn't have over reacted."

"It's fine," Draco kissed her gently, "I would fight over me too."

Ginny scoffed, "You're so big headed."

"My heads not the only big thing," Draco smirked down at her.

Ginny grinned and said, "Come on, stud, dinner's going to start soon."

A few weeks later Ginny packed her files into her bag and locked her office before turning to Julie and saying, "Did you finish those files I gave you this morning."

"Of course," Julie handed the files to Ginny and said, "Have a good weekend."

"You too, Julie," Ginny started tucking the files into her bag, "Do you have any plans?"

"Actually, yeah," Julie smiled, a blush spread across her cheeks, "Um, I have a date with Harry Potter tonight."

"Really?" Ginny asked, surprised.

"Yeah," Julie's smile spread into a grin, "I really like him and he asked me out last week."

"That's great," Ginny said, genuinely happy for the other woman, "I hope you have a great time."

"Thanks," Julie smiled and said, "Tell your fiancé I say hi."

"Ok," Ginny smiled before flooing home. The sight that greeted her made her eyebrows rise and she asked, "What's going on?"

Draco and Pansy looked up at Ginny from the kitchen table. Pansy was practically lying across the table, her breasts falling out of the tank top that barely covered her body. Draco was sitting opposite from her, looking through contracts. Draco stood up calmly and said, "Hey love, how was work?"

He kissed her gently, but Ginny pulled away quickly and repeated, "What's going on?"

"Draco and I were just going over some contracts," Pansy stood up smoothly. She was wearing a short black skirt that came close to exposing her backside.

"Oh really?" Ginny asked, feigning interest. She glanced at the clock, "Well, it's almost six, you should probably be heading home."

"Of course," Pansy said bitterly. Turning to Draco she said, "I'll see you tomorrow evening."

"Ok," Draco was staring at Ginny, puzzled. Pansy, obviously annoyed that Draco wasn't paying attention to her, gave Ginny a dirty look before apparating away.

As soon as she was gone Ginny spun on Draco and said, "What was she doing here?"

"We had to do some work," Draco protested, "Why are you freaking out about this?"

"Draco, this is our home!" Ginny yelled. "We live here together and you just bring that- that- woman into our home! How could you do that?"

"Ginny, we were doing business!" Draco yelled back, "I don't know what the problem is. You bring your colleagues over all the time!"

"Yeah, but the difference is that I don't have a sexual history with the people I bring over!" Ginny yelled. Draco opened his mouth to yell back when the fire flared up and Julie stumbled through, sobbing. "Julie, what happened?" Ginny grabbed the woman and pulled her to the couch, "Are you ok?"

"I-It's Harry," Julie sobbed, "H-He stood me up a-and when I w-went to see him, h-he yelled at me about h-how he only a-asked me out t-to make you jealous."

"What?" Ginny asked, "How could he do that to you?" Julie only shook her head, wiping tears off her cheeks. "I'm going to go see him."

"You're what?" Draco asked, grabbing her arm.

"I'm going to go put Harry in his place," Ginny said firmly, "He needs to understand that I'm never going to be with him and he needs to let me go."

"Ginny, don't go," Draco demanded, "He only used Julie to get your attention and if you go, he'll be getting what he wanted."

"Don't tell me what to do," Ginny wrenched her arm out of his grasp. He glared at her as she took a large handful of floo powder and threw it in the fire before flooing to Harry's house.

When she got back to the apartment later that night she found Julie asleep on the couch, covered in blankets and snoring quietly. Ginny sighed and walked back into the bedroom. Draco glanced up at her as she entered, but then looked back down at his book, not saying anything.

"I see Julie finally calmed down," Ginny said, pulling her jacket off.

"Yep," Draco said quietly.

Ginny quickly changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed, "I told Harry off."

"That's good," Draco said, uninterested.

"I know you're upset with me," Ginny said quietly, "and I'm sorry, but I had to go see Harry. He's not going to leave me alone unless I get him to understand that I don't want him."

"Ginny," Draco slammed his book down, "You're being stupid. He wants your attention and he'll do anything to get it. You're being an idiot because you keep playing into his traps. He's not going to let you go until you let him go." He turned out the light and rolled away from her.

Ginny gaped into the dark for a few minutes before shaking her head and curling up in bed. That night she didn't sleep.

A few weeks later, things were still tense between Draco and Ginny, that's why she hesitated before shaking him gently and whispering "Draco."

"Hm?" he groaned, shifting in bed.

"Draco, love," Ginny sat next to him and touched his shoulder gently.

He sighed and slowly rolled over, "Ginny?"

"Yeah," she said softly, "I'm sorry it's late, but I need you to wake up."

He took a deep breath and pulled himself up into a sitting position, "Did you just get home from your parents?"

"Yeah," she repeated, "It went pretty late."

"Is everything alright?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Everything's fine," Ginny smiled, "I just needed to talk to you."

"Ok," Draco's eyes finally focused on her, "Go ahead."

"Well," Ginny started, "I got an owl this morning from St. Mungo's."

"I thought you said everything's ok," Draco said, yawning.

"It's true," Ginny smiled, "I had an appointment a few days ago and they just wanted to write to me about my results."

"And everything's fine," he said, "Good, now, let's go to bed."

"No," she said, "There was an abnormality."

"I thought you said everything's ok!" Draco repeated, slapping his hands over his eyes, "Are you ok? What's wrong?"

"Draco," Ginny said, "I'm pregnant."

"What?" Draco sat up straighter, "Are you sure?"

Ginny nodded, tears welling in her eyes, "We're having a baby."

A smile spread across his face, "Oh, God, Ginny," he pulled her into his arms, "That's great!"

"I'm so glad you're happy," Ginny said, wiping away her tears. "I was so scared that you wouldn't want to have a baby. We're still so young, but I'm so happy. I've always wanted a baby, but I never knew if you wanted a family. I mean, I know we grew up in completely different situations. I have a huge family and you don't, but I-I, I didn't know what you wanted-,"

"Ginny," Draco said, looking her straight in the eye, "Shut up." She laughed and sniffed through her tears. He smiled and stroked her cheek gently, "I couldn't be happier."

"Thank you," Ginny hugged him tightly, "and I'm so sorry. I should have listened to you about Harry. I'm sorry."

"It's fine," Draco hugged her to him, "We have more important things to think about now."

"I love you," Ginny smiled up at him and kissed him for the first time in weeks.

"Ginny," Draco looked down at his hands for a second, "My life is perfect."

"What?" she asked, puzzled.

"We we have the perfect lives," Draco said, near whisper, "We're going to get married and we're having a baby. This is perfect." Ginny smiled and nodded before kissing him deeply. He was right, life was perfect.
