Pairing: Dramione
Chapter 12
Hermione's POV:
*2 Months Later*
Today Autumn turns six months old. This day has come so fast and so much has changed in the past six months. She and I are going to spend the day together with Draco to celebrate. Draco and I have been dating now for the past two months. He's amazing with Autumn and he's changed so much since Hogwarts. Autumn's finally sleeping through the night so I get a full night of sleep every night. I get her up at nine in the morning to get her ready for the day. Draco won't tell me what we're doing; he wants it to be a surprise.
At nine on the dot I hear Draco knocking on my flat. He comes in and takes Autumn out of my arms before he even kisses me.
"I see where I stand," I joke with him. He rolls his eyes and kisses me softly on the lips.
"Better?"
"Better." I smile and he starts making faces at Autumn. "Are you going to tell me where we're going yet?" I whine. He shakes his head and motions me to follow him outside.
"Can you put Autumn's car seat in my car?" he asks. I nod and start the process. After a few minutes I successfully install Autumn's car seat and put her in it. He opens the passenger side for me and then we speed off towards our destination.
Twenty minutes later we arrive at a park. However, I recognize it instantly.
"I can't believe you remembered when I told you this is the park I grew up with." He grins at me and helps get Autumn out of the car. I smile and walk to the swings with them. He sets her gently in the baby swing and lightly pushes her. She starts to laugh and I dig the camera out of my purse. I snap a few pictures of Autumn and Draco before he takes the camera and I push Autumn. We spend the morning at the park and then Draco takes us for lunch at a nice wizarding restaurant. After we finish ordering I fish out a pureed jar of sweet potatoes and summon a bowl. I warm the food up with a quick spell and start to feed Autumn. She doesn't eat much but I'm happy that she is on to eating solid foods. When she finishes eating I take her to the bathroom to change her and when I come back our food has arrived. Draco and I eat, it's a pleasant date.
At two we finish and we decide to finish the day up at my flat. When we get back I put Autumn in her crib for her nap and I grab two butterbeers from the kitchen before going back to the living room.
"Did you have fun today?" Draco asks. I nod as I take a sip from my butterbeer.
"It was a lot of fun, thank you for doing that." He nods and we sit in silence. It's not an uncomfortable one though, it's nice even. After a few minutes my eyes start to droop. Autumn is sleeping through the night but being a single mom all the time is exhausting. I put my head on his shoulder and he pecks me on my forehead before I fall asleep.
I wake up a few hours later with the sun setting. I'm lying horizontally on the coach now and Draco is nowhere to be seen. Curiously, I get up and search the flat for Draco. I spot him in the nursery with Autumn. He's trying to change her diaper. I don't go in right away but stand by the doorway to watch. Autumn's smiling at him, more like laughing actually and he's cursing.
"How the bloody hell do these things attach? Maybe I can try a charm that'll keep your diaper on." He gets his wand out and that's when I intervene.
"I wouldn't recommend using a charm so close to my daughter Draco. Here I'll show you," I tell him. I walk to the changing table and get a new nappy.
"First, you put her feet in your hands and lift them up so her butt is showing, then you slide the diaper under her and put her legs down. You take the front side of the diaper and put it over her front. Lastly you take the tabs and stick them to the front and voila a changed diaper," I said as I put Autumn's pants on.
"Brilliant," he says as he picks Autumn up. I smile and kiss both of their cheeks. I tell them I'm going to start dinner and went to the kitchen.
Dinner is quiet and lovely. It's just the three of us. I made chicken and green beans and Draco fed Autumn for me, claiming he never feeds her. After dinner Draco gets ready to go home because tomorrow is Monday and we both have to go to work. He kisses Autumn good-bye and gives me a kiss before going home. I sigh, content with my life and go in the kitchen to clean the dishes. Then I put Autumn to bed and read for a while. An hour later I hear a tapping on my window and see an owl tapping his foot against the glass. I open the window and retrieve the letter and give the owl a treat before closing the window. I sit on the coach and open the letter
Hermione,
I saw you today with Draco Malfoy, with MY child. I know it's mine because she looks exactly like me. I want her, she needs her father. I will get her if it's the last thing I do. Tomorrow, I want to meet so you can tell me everything about her. Noon at the bar in The Three Broomsticks, and I would show up. You should bring Autumn but if you don't you will give her to me by Friday. I heard you call her Autumn, so don't be surprised I know her name. You don't want to see the consequences if you don't.
Gabriel
He's back.
