Chapter 4

"AAAARRRGGGHHHH!! Draco get your arse over here and help me. NOW!"

He scurried over to her side and grabbed her hand. When they got to the hospital wing they told her they needed to get her to St. Mungo's because there might be a possibility there was something wrong with the baby.

"Oh God this is painful! Why didn't I take that damn potion?" she squeezed his hand as another contraction overcame her.

"Goddamn woman you're crushing my hand into dust!"

"Well then get me something I can rip apart before I rip you a new asshole!"

His eyes widened at the very thought of a new asshole. He replaced his hand with a pillow from next bed and as soon as she had it in her hands she nearly ripped it to shreds.

"I can see the head. Come on just a few more pushes. On the count of three, one… two… three!"

She pushed with all her might. She repeated the process a few more times and knew the baby was out. She panicked when the doctor spoke.

"Oh dear, this is not good."

"What's not good?" she asked.

"Well the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck."

"Well you can fix it right? My baby is going to be alright, right?" she was getting hysterical. No, the baby's going to be alright. I know it. Please Merlin, let the baby be alright.

"It's alright Hermione the doctors are gonna take care of the baby."

"What is it, a girl or a boy?"

"Well let's just say she's going to be daddy's little girl."

She smiled, knowing it was a girl. Her little girl and with that thought she blacked out.

"Hermione," someone whispered in her ear, "Hermione!" she snapped her eyes open and wished she hadn't because the sun was shining brightly in her face. She noticed the person that woke her up wasn't Draco but Ginny. She smiled as she sat up.

"Finally you're up. You've been out for about two days. Draco's getting some sleep, he's been here with you ever since you were brought back to Hogwarts." She sat a little straighter at hearing she was back at Hogwarts.

"Where's my baby? Is she here, is she alright?"

"Yes, I'll get Madame Pomfrey to bring her. You know, you still have to name her."

She waited for a few minutes before the medi-witch came back with a tiny bundle of pink and yellow.

She held out her arms to carry her newborn.

"Hello there little one. How are you? Mummy's missed you. She's so beautiful!"

"Yes, she takes after her father though so I don't see how she can be that cute," Hermione gave her a teasing glare before Ginny said, "I'm joking of course. She's absolutely darling."

"You know I think I'll name her, Jenna. Elizabeth Rose Malfoy."

"That's wonderful. But the question is who's going to be the godmother?"

"Well that's an obvious answer now isn't it? You of course."

The baby started crying and Madame Pomfrey shooed Ginny out of the infirmary saying both mother and daughter needed their rest.

At that moment Draco walked in earning protest from Madame Pomfrey but immediately stopped once realizing it was the father.

"Hey you. I see you're finally awake."

"Yes, and so is your precious daughter. Her name is Elizabeth. What do you think?"

"I love it," he said taking a seat next to her bed looking lovingly at his tiny premature daughter. She was tiny. But beautiful all the same. She started to get ready to breast fead her daughter and he couldn't help but get aroused at the innocent act from his soon to be wife.

"Er, maybe I should come back later."

"Oh don't be silly, it's nothing you haven't seen before," she said teasingly, knowing the real reason for his sudden embarrassment.

They talked for a few minutes him telling her what has been going on the past two days. Elizabeth had finished her feeding and being burped and was now taking in her surroundings with her big dark blue eye for the first time. Her eyes still didn't have their true color yet. She then looked at her dad for the first time since he came in and he felt his heart melt. This was his little girl. His little angel, the one he would spoil mercilessly and give her unconditional love.

"She's beautiful. I can't believe we made that… her."

"Yes I agree. But I think she's ready to sleep as am I. I'll see you tomorrow when I come back to the common room."

"Aright, goodnight love. I love you," and with that he gave her a peck and kissed his daughter on the forehead.

"I love you too." She looked down at Elizabeth and noticed her eyes drooping so she started to sing a soft lullaby.

She sang this twice until the baby finally fell asleep and put her in her bassinet and after a while fell asleep herself.

A few days later she was in her common room completely deprived of sleep. The teachers had let her stay in her common room with the baby as long as she got in her work in on time. Of course there wasn't any reason to give out homework now that N.E.W.T.s were over but they gave it out nonetheless. Elizabeth kept waking her parents in the middle of the night. They now shared a room for the baby's sake.

This particular day though she was at her wits end. So when her oh so lovely fiancé came in a little late after patrol she was not in a good mood.

"Where the hell have you been? Do you know how late it is? You should know better than to be out this late after curfew. You didn't even come back once to see if we were alright. What if something happened to both the baby and me?"

"Oh puh-lease. I know nothing can happen to you. Dumbledore has this place under heavy protection. So stop being such a bint. I was over at the Slytherin common room with Blaise."

"And that's supposed to make me feel better. We both know how much they hate you for betraying them and getting a mudblood pregnant and loving her," she spat venomously and added somewhat softer, "You could've gotten hurt."

"Not likely what with Blaise threatening anyone and everyone that even so much as gave me dirty look."

"Still, you should have at least stopped by earlier then I wouldn't be so worried and stressed out. God I don't think I can do this whole mother thing," she said, her voice starting to crack, "it's too hard. I hardly get any sleep, I have to get all my homework in and I'm trying to keep in touch with my friends trying to bring us closer because ever since they found out about me being pregnant they kind of distanced themselves. Except of course Ginny, she's been there for me since the beginning." Tears sprang to her eyes as she finally let all that she had been feeling for the past six months.

He rushed over to her scooping her in his arms and taking her to their bedroom. He put her on the bed and lay down next to her letting her cry into his chest. He was about to tell her why he hadn't come up all day and why he was with Blaise but when she broke down he decided against it. She had enough to deal with and worry about without this on top of everything else.

See earlier Pansy had cornered him and practically attacked him. When he finally managed to puh her off she started making her empty threats that Granger would get hers and he would be hers. He paid no mind to it. But he would, in time, see that they weren't empty threats at all. They were full thought out malicious well thought out threats. After that confrontation he had wandered around the castle thinking of possible ways to rid him and his soon to be family of the old slag. He hadn't remembered until it was time for classes that he had to visit Hermione.

When Hermione's sobs died it was a little past midnight. "Look at me, blubbering like a baby. You must be embarrassed to be in my presence."

"Far from it. You know I'm always here for you. Don't ever forget that."

"Ok, by the way, where were you during your free periods that you didn't have time to come visit your family?" she asked.

"Now's not the time love. I'll tell you some other time, it's really of no importance."

She shrugged knowing that he would tell her later and got ready for bed as did Draco. When they crawled into bed he hugged her close taking in her scent… Mmm, mango's… my favorite. He thought as he smiled to himself. She looked up at him and laughed to herself at the silly smile on his face. She pulled his head down and kissed him deeply. He responded quickly by bringing her closer to him and moving himself on top of her. He was just starting to get her nigh gown off when there was an ear piercing cry from the crib to the right of the bed.

"Just ignore her. She'll go back to sleep. I need you now."

"As much as I need you also the baby needs me more."

He hadn't noticed how much he missed her touch and scent. Sure they had sex during the pregnancy seeing as how she was horny most of the time, but the last few months he wasn't so lucky. He wanted to be with her, be inside her, smell her intoxicating scent that drove him crazy each time he'd get a tiny whiff of her hair.

He watched as she sat in the rocking chair feeding Elizabeth all the while cooing at her. He couldn't help but think that his life was now completely perfect. Pansy can sod off and take her threats else where. His thoughts finally helped him drift off into a dreamless peaceful sleep.

Hermione on the other hand had finished feeding the baby and put her back in the crib after changing her nappy and was now thinking that her relationship with her two best friends was slowly deteriorating. They had accepted her being with Draco but when they found out she was pregnant they sort of were disappointed. Soon they were talking less and less and the only person she kept in contact was with Ginny. She had told her that there was nothing to worry about, that they were just being bigger prats than before and that they would soon come around.

She hoped to Merlin that she was right, because she couldn't bare the thought of not having her boys help her through this hard time. It was already 2:30 in the morning when she drifted off into a fitful sleep.

"Mum, Uncle Harry and Ron are here to visit. They're in the living room."

"Alright Lizzy, tell them I'll be right down."

She walked down the staircase wondering what this unexpected visit from her two friends could be about.

"Hello Harry, Ron. What brings you here?"

"Well we decided to come forward and tell you the truth," said Harry.

"The truth about what?"

"Well see Hermione, the thing is we never accepted you and Malfoy being together, and you having a child with him. I'm sorry, as much as it hurts to say this, we just can't be friends with you anymore. He may have come over to the light side during the war but he will always be the enemy to us."

"Ron, Harry, no please don't do this. You can't. We've been through so much. I thought you finally got over it. I love him. He loves me!" she cried.

"I'm sorry it's either him or us. You can't have both. Like that muggle saying, you can't have your cake and eat it too."

"Yes Harry Yes I can. This is ridiculous, how can you make me choose? It's so selfish, especially on your part."

"So I'm taking it that you choose him. Well then we'll be seeing you Hermione." with that him and Ron turned and walked toward the door. She ran after them when they went out but as soon as she reached the door everything there was no floor but instead a vast darkness that could swallow you whole. She then noticed a sneering face that belonged to none other than Pansy Parkinson.

"Stupid mudblood whore. You stole him from me and now you'll pay."

She pointed her wand at Hermione and yelled out crucio and she fell to the floor writhing in pain all the while Draco went to stand next to Pansy and looked down at her saying "Stupid mudblood. You thought I really would love filth like you? I'll be taking my daughter now to go live with Pansy, the woman I really love."

They both laughed with malice at her demise.

She woke up crying with Draco trying to soothe her. He was telling her it was just a dream, that it wasn't real. But the pain of the curse and losing her loved ones was so real. She couldn't help but feel that it would happen. That everyone she loved would leave her leaving her with nothing. It tore her apart. She held on to Draco as if her life depended on him, not wanting to let him go so he would leave her. She would make sure that none of what she dreamt would come to pass. She finally drifted off back to sleep in his arms hiccupping and sniffling for the second time that morning.
