Baby mine chap 5

It was a two hours before the malfoys annual Christmas ball. Hermione bit her lip looking at the clothes staring back at her. Draco had gone out the day before to her little two bed apartment to gather all of the clothes and Daniels even though he refused. She hadn't seen him for the rest of the day.

She couldn't find an outfit to wear suitable enough for this black tie event. She was thinking of not going at all at this rate. All she had was a frumpy looking black dress which wasn't appropriate at all. She decided to have a hot bath and then get Daniel ready for the party. He was so excited to be going to a proper party. She walked into the large bathroom and started the taps pouring in some scented bubble bath and dimmed the lights. She got the bath up high and stripped down. She relished the hot temperature, closing her eyes and relaxing back.

Thoughts flitted through her head. Thoughts of Draco, the night when she forgot to take a dreamless sleep. He came and gathered her up into his arms not asking questions, soothing her. She had felt so safe in his arms. At home. She wouldn't admit it to herself though that she had feelings for malfoy though. She remembered her once school girl crush she had on the blonde snake and she wasn't going to let that come back. She had only known him for 3 days if you didn't count the 3 days she was out for the count or when he was a snivelling stuck up snob in Hogwarts. She remembered getting butterflies as she put her head on his bare chest.

She then thought about yesterday. She had had so much fun Christmas shopping with him. He had distracted Daniel long enough for her to buy all of his Christmas presents as well as some others not on the list. While the boys got some hot chocolate she was also able to buy Draco a present from herself and Daniel. She had no idea what he liked but since he had looked after her and Daniel she felt that she needed to get him something big. She had noticed that he was deeply interested in muggle technology when before they could enter the leaky cauldron she was dragged in to the nearby apple store to gaze at iphones and i pads. When Hermione asked him why he didn't buy one the answer was well i can't work muggle contraptions. They were banned in my house until my father died. Hermione immediately brought an iphone, an ipad and a macbook air and decided that she was going to teach him how to use it.

She sighed as the warm water relaxed her muscles. Last night was amazing. She had a midnight picnic with Draco out under the gazebo in the snow covered gardens. Daniel was fast asleep back at the house with narcissa and the many house elves to look after him. They had danced under the stars, had snowball fights and made snow angels like they were little children again. He held her in his arms again that night since they both decided after a couple of hours sleeping apart that the only way they would get any sleep would be in the same bed.

Hermione smiled as she got the soap and started to wash herself. Everything in her life seemed to be good. She had a gorgeous son. She and Draco seemed to be becoming more than a couple as each day progressed. Of course she knew who her attacker was but she wasn't going to tell anyone until she was ready. Draco had understood this although she could see his curiosity as well as his curiosity as to who Daniel's father is.

Daniel's father. Well Hermione didn't really know who he was either. To her knowledge he could be dead where she had killed him during the war. Her brows furrowed as she remembered that terrible night.

"I'll take the pain away i promise. I'll keep you safe"

Hermione gasped. Fuck. She knew who Daniel's father was. That voice. She banged her head on the back of the bath. Suddenly the little boy ran into the bathroom.

"Daniel honey!" Hermione said shocked. She quickly grabbed the towel and wrapped it around herself as she got out. Daniel however slipped in the process and started to cry.

"Daniel darling oh come here." Hermione cooed picking him up and cuddling him. She walked into her bedroom to find Draco putting on some cufflinks but failing sitting on the bed.

"Is everything alright?" he asked worried but then his eyes bulged as he saw that Hermione's towel was slipping off her wet body.

"Daniel came in while i was in the bath and slipped. Oh don't cry Dan sweetie. Tell mummy where it hurts" Daniel pointed to his knee and his finger. Hermione pulled up his trousers to see a little red mark.

"oh my poor baby" Hermione said before kissing it better" there mummy gave it a magical kiss to make it all better" Daniel smiled weakly and Draco handed him a tissue to blow his nose.

"Mia your towel" Draco said rapidly before turning around facing away from her. Hermione noticed why Draco wasn't being helpful as her towel laid on the floor. She blushed and picked it up quickly before wrapping herself up again.

"Now Daniel honey why don't you go and see what is going on downstairs and ask nana cissy to dance. How about that. She'll give you a magical kiss as well i expect." Daniel jumped down and ran out of the room. Draco was still fumbling with his cuffs.

"draco." He tried but failed to get the cufflink through. He felt her hands help him.

"Draco look at me" he looked up at her and into her brown eyes. "Shouldn't i be more embarrassed than you?" he nodded his head didn't say anything. Hermione shook her head before sitting next to him.

"I know that this is a bad time but i haven't given you an explanation as to who Daniel's father is. "

"Why? Does he want to see him?"

"No nothing like that. Don't worry. I was raped draco." Draco clenched his fists together and standing up grabbing his wand.

"By who? Cause I'll kill him" he said through gritted teeth. "Will he be here tonight?"

"No draco sits down. I was raped her in the dungeons when i was captured before the final battle. My rapist is probably dead or in Azkaban" ok Hermione was telling a white lie as she did know who his father was but she wasn't going to tell Draco just yet. His arms wrapped around her waist and he brought her close. "Anyway Draco. I've forgiven him and even thanked him. Do you want to why? Because he gave me Daniel. He gave me the most precious gift he could give me"

"I'm sorry that you got hurt that night. I'm sorry that I've hurt you in the past. "Draco whispered. Into her neck. The towel was slipping off again and he felt her bare back and chest pressed against him. "I won't let anyone hurt you again i promise."

Hermione sighed against him. She thought she would feel better telling him but not actually telling him the name of her rapist made it almost worse.

"I know you will. Now let me get ready alright. "She whispered kissing his forehead.

"Thank you for telling me"

"I needed to tell someone. Harry knows and he told Ginny. No one else does though." Hermione then picked up the towel and walked back to the bathroom. Draco watched her ass swish back side to side. God she was beautiful. He took in a deep breath.

Draco couldn't believe that someone would perform such a terrible deed on this gorgeous girl. He finally put his other cufflink on and then got out a dress that he had brought for Hermione to wear. It was in his favourite colour and he could tell by her face a couple of hours ago when she was rooting through all the clothes he brought back she had nothing to wear. He left her to get dressed and walked back to his room to get his tux jacket. However when he opened his wardrobe he found a brand new jacket that he had never seen before. He grasped the note peeping out of the pocket

Something for you to wear this evening which i thought you might like. Mia x

Draco looked at the jacket. It was definitely expensive and it matched his trousers perfectly. Inside was customised lining which was mixture of deep blue and slytherin green silk. Silver birds were painted on it.

He slipped it on. It fitted him perfectly.

"Draco what's this?"

"I could ask the same question" Draco replied when Hermione walked in holding the dress.
