Last time:

Pansy and the healer walked out of the room, Pansy making sure the door was shut behind them, and port keyed the healer away. All Hermione could do was wait and hope she would be found in time.

Now:

The healer started to investigate as soon as he got back to his office, something in the young womans eyes, other then the blinking, had caused him concern. She seemed distant, worried, and beaten, as if she had given up on something.

He looked for Draco for a week, he needed to question the young man before he gave away any information about her. He went to the manor a few times, being unsuccessful in each attempt.

The healer mad his way to Diagon Alley to pick up a few things, when he noticed a poster hanging on the library wall.

He walked closer to the poster, instantly recognizing Hermione face and the words that she had been kidnapped, he also noticed an address listed on the bottom of the page with the names of Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter and Blaise Zambini as contacts for information. The healer instantly disapparated to the address in hopes to find out what was going on.

As he approached the house, he could see a young man sitting on the porch, staring at the ceiling.

"Excuse me." the healer spoke, causing Draco to shoot up from the spot he was occupying.

"I'm hear to speak with either Mr. Malfoy, Potter or Zambini."

Draco instantly put his hand out, "I'm Draco Malfoy, can I help you?" hoping this would be a lead to Hermione.

"Yes, I'm actually hear to ask you about Hermione Granger." the healer stated

Draco invited the man in to the house where Blaise and Harry were casually laying around.

"This man has some questions about Hermione." Draco announced, causing the other two to jump to their feet.

"Actually, I believe I have some information for you."

Draco, Blaise and Harry listen to the man explain everything that had happened when he went to see Miss. Collins.

"Does she look okay? is the baby fine?" Draco asked with excitement.

"Yes they are both fine, but it will be another week before I see her again." the healer stated, "I have no clue where she is, as the woman who called for me, port keyed me there and back."

"Well we need to come up with a plan, she's now 32 weeks and its getting a little to close for my comfort." Draco explained.

The four men sat and talked for hours, trying to come up with a plan to get to her.

Mean while back at the small house:

"Granger, come get some food." Pansy hollered through the tiny window. Hermione slowly stood, holding her side as she slowly made her way to the door.

"What are you holding your side for?" Pansy asked

"Just pain from that cot, it doesn't support the babies weight." Hermione replied in a soft tone. Pansy rolled her eyes, "Just looking for a reason to complain aren't we mud blood."

Hermione didn't answer, it would do no good and she knew it. Pansy handed her an apple, a large glass of milk, some bread and a handful of ham.

"Thank you Pansy" she said, just thankful that she had some food.

"How far along are you?" pansy asked

"32 weeks" she replied

"And my child is male?" Pansy asked, Hermione couldn't handle Pansy calling the baby she was carrying, her child.

"My baby is male, I have no clue what your child was." Hermione replied hotly.

"Watch it Mud blood, I'm not playing with you. In a few weeks I will be able to cut the baby from your womb if you don't watch how you talk to me, never giving you the chance to see his face."

Hermione was horrified on how someone could be so cruel. She nodded in fear, knowing that without a wand and her diminishing strength she would not stand a chance against Pansy. She reluctantly went back to the cot to eat her small meal.

Hermione was stress beyond belief, she wanted to protect her baby with everything she had in her, but in her condition, she could hardly walk through the room without becoming completely exhausted. She was lacking in nutrition, sore from the changes her body was going through and not having a way to provide it comfort. The lack of proper diet had made her anemic which would make the baby the same way, as the baby was taking her nutrients to grow. She finished her meal and curled back up on the cot, imagining herself in her new house, curled in her new bed, with Draco's arm securely around her.

As she closed her eyes, completely exhausted from the small amount of movement she had just done to get her food, her eyes welled up with tears, the thought of never seeing Draco again was heavy on her heart, knowing that Draco had done so much to be involved with her and the baby, if pansy succeeded, it would be a baby he would never know.

She missed all three of her men terribly, she could picture their faces as she thought about them. As sleep finally took over, her dreams were filled with seeing Draco playing with a little blond haired boy, running through the back yard, playing on the swing set , setting up a picnic in the back yard for the three of them to enjoy. A smile graced her pale face as she slept, deep in her mind hoping that her dreams would come true.

Draco lay awake in the bed she had picked out for the new house, he was happy to know she was alright, and that they had come up with a plan to get her out, but he couldn't help but look over to the side of they bed that remained empty. He realized the day she went missing how much he had actually grown to love her along with the baby. The thoughts of something happening to her broke his heart. He closed his eyes and pictured her face, the eyes that could read him like a book, the smile she always managed to give him when she was trying to make him happy or get her way on something, his thoughts suddenly shifted to the image of a little brown haired boy, being cradled in her arms as he, Harry and Blaise took pictures, made goofy faces and fought over who got to hold him next. He finally drifted into a deep sleep with a smile plastered on is face from the image of Hermione and their son.
