About a month had passed and once again Hermione was in Harry and Ginny's kitchen sitting across from Ginny at the table. In between them was a home made apple pie.

"Wow Ginny I think this is the best one you've ever made," Hermione said once she swallowed her mouthful.

"You say that every time," Ginny commented.

"Yeah and it's true."

The two women fell into silence. The only sound was of their forks scrapping against their plates. As it always did the conversation shifted to how Hermione was dealing with everything.

"Are you doing okay?" Ginny asked gently.

"Yeah, I think I've finally let go. You know how hard it is to just walk away from decades of your life?"

"I can't even imagine."

"Ginny," Hermione said hesitantly.

"What?"

Hermione's eyes wandered around the room, as if to check that nobody else was listening, "I've screwed up."

"I thought you said you were getting over everything?" Ginny asked confused.

"No, no, no," Hermione shook her head quickly, "I am, I've accepted that my marriage is over. It's not that though…"

"What is it then?"

"Ginny, I think I'm pregnant."

Silence. Only the subtle but steady drip of the tap could be heard. Followed by the rustling of Ginny's cloaks as she stood up and began to pace. Hermione stayed in her chair. All she could do was look at her feet. She felt so ashamed.

"Draco's?"

It was a simple question but one that held a lot of emotion for Hermione. A tear trickled out of her eye, the first that she had shed since her final argument with Ron.

"I don't know," she whispered so quietly that Ginny had to strain to hear.

"What do you mean you don't know? I thought you and Ron hadn't been…uh intimate in a long time."

"What am I going to do? If its Ron's he's going to be furious and Draco will probably leave me, but if it's Draco's…"

"Well?"

"I don't know, I guess I'll be happy."

"Don't tell Ron," Ginny suggested, "You are no longer married, you're divorce went through yesterday. He is no longer part of your life."

"I guess you're right, but if it's his?"

Ginny never got to answer because Harry walked into the kitchen. Spotting the pie he practically ran to the table and cut himself a piece. Tasting it he moaned in heaven and said, "Ginny do you know how much I love you?" He sidled over to his wife and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a kiss. Squealing in delight she pulled the plate from his grasp and placed it on the table.

"Well I'll be going," Hermione said.

"You going to be okay?" Ginny asked, worried that hers and Harry's affection had made Hermione slip back into depression and regret.

"I'm going to try figure it out, I need to know."

"Well good luck, I hope you find the answer that you are looking for."

"So do I?"

"What? I'm confused," Harry said, "What's going on?"

"Girl stuff," his wife replied.

"Okay moving on."

Hermione apparated away with a pop.

She stood on his doorstep, waiting for him to answer the door. When he did she rushed into his arms, "I need to talk to you, it's really important."

"Okay, do you want a drink?"

"No, just your ears and time."

The couple walked into the library of Malfoy Manor and sat down on a leather love seat across from a large fire in the grate. Orange flames, laced with blue and yellow danced away before their eyes. Draco tried to wrap his arms around her and pull her close but she pulled away and turned so she was staring eye to eye with him.

"This isn't good," he muttered, "Just tell me, are we breaking up?"

"I hope not," she said, "And I really hope you don't want to after I tell you this."

Hermione stood up and walked over to the mantel and picked up random picture frames. Family pictures of Draco with is parents or with his son. Known of them looked as cheerful as they should.

"It can't be that bad, just tell me."

"Draco I'm pregnant."

Draco's eyes bulged and his mouth opened into a small o of surprise, "Well why would I leave you, isn't that good news? Wait it's not Weasley's is it? I thought you said you guys hadn't slept together in years."

"We did."

"What the hell Hermione, so it's his?" he roared.

Hermione backed up against the wall. She knew that he wouldn't hurt her but she didn't like the tone of his voice, "No, it's yours."

"Oh," he stood up and walked over to her, "I'm sorry for reacting like that. I'm happy for you, for us."

"Draco can I still move in with you?" she asked tentatively.

"Of course you can baby, when do you want to?"

"Soon, I don't want to be alone anymore."

"Are you going to tell the Weasle?"

"No, we're no longer married. I have no obligation to share things with him anymore."

"That's good advice. Let me guess Ginny told you that?"

Hermione nodded and then laughed.

Within a week Hermione had moved in with Draco. Hugo and Rose were at Hogwarts so she left the house as it was for them to pack their things up how they wanted. She had decided not to sell it until she talked things over with them.

Hermione avoided Ron until they unexpectedly crashed into each other at the ministry in early June. Hermione was 5 ½ months along and thus she had a bit of a belly on her. Ron apologized profusely and tried to pick up the files that had floated to the floor until he realized exactly who it was he had crashed into. His eyes roamed from her face down to her plump breasts and finally to her protruding stomach, "What the bloody hell has he done to you?"

"And to think you used to say I looked my best when I was pregnant."

"The kids never mentioned this," Ron said.

"Well they don't tell me much about you either and I don't ask them. I would expect that you respect my privacy and do the same."

"Fine, go running back to Malfoy and your perfect, rich life."

Not having the strength or the means to argue with him she snatched her files away from him and walked away with as much dignity as she could muster. She was happy to realize that she was not flustered or angered by their meeting. It seemed that she had completely gotten over what she had done to him.

a/n Well I think this is the worst chapter I've ever written. It's mostly dialogue and has little to no structure. I tried to write it three other ways and this was the best form I could get out of what I wanted. The next chapter should be much better. Please review though so I know if you hated it or amazingly liked it.

I'm considering writing another D/Hr fic and unlike this and my other fic The Unexpected (which you should all read if you haven't-I absolutely love what I did with it) I plan to try do it completely canon…wow that's going to be hard I never write canon. Well moving on I'm just wondering if I would have your interest in another D/Hr fic. I probably won't write it until I finish one of my ongoing stories b/c I have so much writing I have to do already and don't get done. So yeah what do you guys think? Thanks
