so...this is chapter 3. The last installment. I will have a epilogue after this. This was re-edited by Pig luva 13. thx so much.

"Draco," Ginny began.

"Wait," he said stopping her. He pulled his arm around her a little more and pulled her closer to him, his breath barely touching her skin. For a while, it felt as though they were teenagers again. It was almost like they were sharing the first dance for the second time. Draco was thinking of the way her face flowed?? I don't understand. Awkward wording. No suggestion. Sorry. Oh! Glowed!! when she danced and how much he had missed seeing her face light up when she was pleased. Ginny gazed up into those eyes of Draco's that she loved so much.

"Ginny, Ginny I love you so much. I have no idea what I did to make you leave, but whatever it was, I'll do anything and everything to make it up to you."

"Why Draco? I don't remember exactly why I left, but all we did was yell at each other. I don't think this really fits in here when you're trying to set the mood of the chapter. Maybe you could just get rid of it and start the paragraph with "she wanted to fall….". "She wanted to fall into his arms and tell him that it was all ok, but what life would it be for her daughter if they were always fighting? "What if it happens again tomorrow? Then what?"

"It doesn't matter because living these weeks without you things has been hell. Ginny, without you, there is no tomorrow. The thing is that as long as you're there with me, it will be a perfect day and I was a fool to not realize this before."

"Draco, I don't want to go through this again." she sighed and walked back to their table for two. Personally, she was quite glad that Blaise and Cho had given them some room to talk.

"Ginny, "Draco slid into the seat next to her and rested his hand on hers, "Please, don't make me have to live like this. I really cannot live knowing that you aren't with me." She signed and turned around, "and what about the baby? You really can't think that I don't want it-,"

"Her," Ginny cut in, "and don't you think of taking her away from me. She's the joy of my life," she snapped.

"I wouldn't dream of it, but she should be the joy of my life too," he reasoned.

"Fine," she snapped. She pushed her chair back and threw the napkin on the table, "you wanna see her? Come over tomorrow ten o'clock on the dot." She stalked out the door leaving Draco in shock

"Its ok mate," Blaise said from behind him," that went relatively well."

"You're kidding."

"No, actually considering that she invited you over, she can't really be that angry," Cho said, "she told you to come see Athena."

"Athena," he whispered his daughter's name savoring it on his tongue.

Athena? What made you choose that name? Just wondering.

"Yeah, and just in case you care, she's got your eyes," he turned around to face Cho. She smiled kindly at him, "She's just worried Draco, worried for Athena. You hurt her, and the pain is still there. She doesn't want that for her girl."

Draco nodded.

"Be careful tomorrow mate," Blaise said.

"Yeah, especially since neither of us will be there to keep you in line." Cho added.

"What!" he screamed turning heads in the restaurant.

"You seriously don't think that we want to be there when…you know," he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"You're kidding! We do have some control," he retorted.

"I doubt it," Blaise stared

"Yea," Cho snickered, "you could barely control yourselves on the dance floor."

Draco glared at her, "fine, not like I can't do this myself."

"We totally trust you Draco," Blaise said, a smile pulling at the sides of his mouth.

Ginny woke to the sound of someone bustling around the apartment. She got out of bed to find Cho dressing in a beautiful blue, strapless dress as though she was going out.

"Cho, what's going on?" she said groggily.

"I've got a date," she replied proudly

"I figured," she stated. "with whom?"

"Blaise," she said with a wistful look on her face. "we'll be out the whole day," she said smiling coyly.

I think Cho being suggestive all the time is a little too much all in just one chapter.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing," she stated flatly

"We're just giving you your privacy," she said, a smirk still lingering on her lips.

"Whatever," she said. "What time is it?"

"'bout nine, bit past actually."

"What!" she exclaimed finally waking up. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Well you were having such wonderful dreams-"

"Shut up!" Ginny said punching her in the arm recalling only too well what she had been dreaming about. "I'll get ready."

"And I'll be going." Cho replied. For the next hour Ginny ran around the house getting both herself and Athena ready. At ten o'clock, the door bell rang. 'Punctual as always," she thought to herself. She checked her appearance one last time in the mirror before going to open the door.

"Morning Draco, come in if you will," she said politely.

If she's polite and distant, then maybe Good morning works better.

"Can I see Athena?" he asked with politeness and distance that matched hers.

"Yes, right this way please," she droned like a tour guide.

Draco walked up to the crib and picked his daughter up. She smiled broadly as she stared back into his eyes.

Ginny watched as grey met grey. Those eyes she had loved in both her husband and their daughter. It had been a while since she had thought of him as her husband. He had been just Draco for a long time. Her husband, however, was undoubtedly whom he was. Maybe she had been too harsh on him, after all, she really didn't know what he'd done to make her leave. The only thing preventing her from forgiving him was her pride and she figured it was time to swallow it. Draco had so much more pride than she did and still, he was able to set it aside. Last night, he had admitted to her that he didn't know what he'd done, but he was sorry. She thought of how much she had longed to feel his lips against hers in the mornings and his warm body against hers at night. She had involuntarily rested itself on his shoulder as she snuggled closer to him.

"Draco," she said snuggling closer to him, "I'm sorry, I overreacted."

Silence

"Draco, I was worried and I was too scared to contact you."

Tears were streaming down her cheeks and still…

Silence.

"Draco, I love you. I never stopped loving you. I don't think I'll ever be able to."

Silence

"Draco, Draco answer me. Draco, love, I'm sorry."

Silence. He slowly lowered Athena back into the crib and turned around. Ginny slowly lifted her eyes to his face to find tears running down his cheeks. Ginny cupped his face in her hands and kissed his tears away.

"Ginny, I…I thought I'd lost you forever and I really didn't know what I'd without you and.."

Ginny pulled him in for a kiss, just to feel his lips against hers and make sure that this wasn't all just a dream. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in closer. He broke the kiss.

"Come back to the flat with me Ginny. Both of you."

"Of cource Draco." She replied.

"So where does that leave me?" Cho asked popping into the doorway.

"Have you been there the whole time?" Ginny asked as Blaise stepping into view. She turned to Draco for answer, but the expression on his face told her he was just as confused. "I thought you two had a date."

"We did," said Cho giggling

"-but we decided that it would be more interesting to see what happened here," Blaise continued, "told you they wouldn't be able to control themselves," he smirked at Cho.

" I know," she replied, " I thought Ginny would have some control, but…"

"Pay up love," Blaise said.

"Later," she replied winking at him, "which brings us back to my original question: where does that leave me?"

"You could move in with me," Blaise offered.

"and what about this place? I love it here," she asked.

"We'll live here," Ginny piped up, "Athena's already got a nursery here and now we've even got a guest room and an extra room."

"And our old flat?" Draco asked

"We'll sell it." Ginny said simply. "oh this is going to be so much fun," she squealed grabbing Cho's hand and dragging her to the kitchen so they could start decorating the house.

""They'll be the wreck of us mate," Draco said.

"On the contrary, we're gonna live to be happy and old-"

"and have tons of kids," said Draco taking Blaise's view of it now.

"So am I mate, So am I."
