A/N: I'm back finally with chapter four of the newly entitled Out of Order, which used to be called And They Thought We Were Crazy…just in case you were wondering. Sorry for any confusion! Without further ado…
Chapter Four… "What?! Your Stomach?"
"It's so nice to finally be home again."
"You have no idea, love. I'm just glad I won't have to sleep sitting upright in a plastic chair ever again."
"Ever?"
"What…are you planning on having any more children?"
"I rather despised being an only child, you know. Why would I do that to my own poor little girl?"
"I personally enjoyed being an only child. More for me."
"You are such a Malfoy."
"As you've now reminded at least a hundred times, so are you, dear."
"Hm. Well, it was a girl. Guess I was right, huh?"
"You're never going to let it go, are you? Stop laughing Hermione! You got your wish. We didn't name our child after me."
"Right you are. She's adorable though, isn't she?"
"Now that, I can agree with. And she's all ours."
"Hyacinth Rose Malfoy…Sounds nice, doesn't it?"
"Just perfect. Oh, I love you Hermione."
"I love you too, Draco…Now, about those other children?"
"What other— Oh, Hermione, I don't know. The past nine months were…rocky, to say the least. With the mood swings, your incorrect insistences that you were fat and the miscarriage scare. God help me if I put myself in that situation again. Need I remind you?"
.:Flashback:.
"Ah… Draco!"
"Hermione?! What's wrong?"
"OHHH!"
"What?! Your stomach? No? Bloody Hell...The BABY!"
"YESSS! DRACO!"
"Oh Lord…Err…What are we going to do? Ohhh."
"WE'RE not going to do…ANYTHING! YOU are going to drive to the HOSPITAL!"
"Right! That's a good idea. How did I end up marrying such a smart witch?"
"DRACO! Merlin it's common sense! OH!"
"Sorry! I'm sorry! Where's your bag?"
"There!"
"There? You're going to have to be more specific than—"
"Draco!"
"Okay, okay. There…Oh! I see it. Alright, let's get in the car."
"Thank you so much. I would've never figured that out on my own!"
"I'm just saying…Pregnant women…"
"DRACO!"
XXXX
"Damn this traffic. Tell me again why we moved to London. Why are you hissing at me Hermione?"
"I'm in pain Draco! What'd you expect? For me to sit and chat about the traffic? What's next? The weather?"
"Hermione, relax!"
"RELAX! Oh, yes! That's exactly what I will do while I'm going into labor! Great idea, Draco!"
"Hermione, I am TRYING to get you to the fucking hospital. Give the Draco-bashing a break, will you?"
"Oh, Draco."
"Hermione? Oh, don't cry, love, I'm sorry!"
"It's not your fault! I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!"
"NO! It's not! I love you Hermione! You're amazing!"
"NO I'M NOOOTT! I'm fat and annoying and you hate me!"
"Merlin, Hermione, what made you think that?! I love you and you are my lovely, gorgeous wife who is bearing our child which only makes you even more breathtaking. That is a promise."
"Really? That's so nice? AHH! Draco, hurry!"
.:End Flashback:.
"Hey, I was in pain! What was I supposed to do? Sit like a good girl and watch the clouds pass by?"
"Well, no. But that was one hour out of the nine months."
"So, I was a horrid hag the entire time?"
"No! I never said that!"
"But you were implying that my behavior while I was pregnant is the only reason you don't want to have any more children."
"It's not that…"
"It wasn't my behavior at all, was it?"
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Know exactly what I'm feeling?"
"Draco, I know you far too well. There's another reason for why you don't want to have another child."
"…"
"Draco, love, what's wrong?"
"M s..r..d."
"What's that?"
"I'm scared."
"Scared? The valiant, fearless Draco Malfoy is actually scared?! No! Alright, alright, I'm sorry. What are you scared of?"
"W..t e a go.. f..er."
"You're going to have to speak a bit louder darling. Call it post-partum hearing loss or whatever but I can't understand a word you just said."
"Hermione, I won't be a good father. Maybe we shouldn't even have had one child…"
"Oh Lord, Draco, no. Why wouldn't you be an amazing father? You're an amazing husband. And you've been nothing but loving to Hyacinth so far. It's not because of…him…is it?"
"Yeah, it is. Because of him, I almost ruined my entire life and would've if it hadn't been for you."
"Draco, listen very closely to me. You are not and will never be your father. You are not a murderer, nor are you incapable of loving. You were strong enough to break away from the ideas that you grew up learning and you are strong enough to love me so there is no doubt that you are strong enough to be an amazing father."
"But, Hermione, you don't understand. How am I supposed to explain why there is an evil mark burned into my arm? And what if we hit a rough spot in our relationship or we have a particularly horrid quarrel and I can't handle it and I just leave? I don't want to leave you like my father left my mother to go take care of Voldemort's bidding."
"And that's exactly why you won't. Your father didn't care what he had to do to finish the tasks set to him. You care and love too much to do the same. Draco, I need you to trust me, you will be a great father because you are not your father."
"Hermione?"
"Yes, love?"
"You're an amazing person, you know that? I must have been touched by an angel the day we were assigned to that mission for the Order."
"Draco, I really love you. You're definitely not the only lucky one."
"I love you too Hermione. Really, always and forever."
A/N: Aww! Fluffy moment! So…yay or nay? Let me know what you think! Oh, and any ideas about the adventures Hermione and Draco should or could have in their perfectly imperfect marriage would be greatly appreciated!
