It's been a few months since I've updated this but I've finally got this new chapter up. Hope you enjoy it :)
Finally the Zabini's and Home.
"Blaise," cried a woman as soon as he stepped out from the fire. He quickly found himself stuck with his mother's arms around his frame.
"Hello Mother," He could hear Draco laughing behind him and imagined Hermione to be smiling. He awkwardly pattered on her back wishing she would just free him.
"Your first Christmas at the Manor as a married man. I remember when you were so young and look at you now," she gushed. Mouthing for help his father chuckled.
"Come now Maria let the poor boy go before you strangle him to death." As Marco placed his hand gently on his wife's shoulder. She unwrapped her arms and looked towards Draco.
"Oh shit," Hermione heard him mumble before he was suddenly engulfed in a hug off his mother-in-law.
"Happy Christmas Draco, how are you," she asked the blonde as she slowly pulled away.
"I'm good thank you and Merry Christmas to you too,"
Maria Zabini then turned her eyes onto Hermione, Blaise and Draco shared a glance as Hermione was pulled into a gentler hug than the two boys.
"Merry Christmas my dear, and welcome to this barmy family," Hermione smiled and thanked her hugging her back.
"Thank you for having us over," said Hermione, "we brought presents,"
"Excellent and we have presents. But hopefully it won't be long till we have someone a lot smaller to buy for."
"What do you mean smaller? We're not getting a puppy or anything." Said Blaise confused. But Maria's words had struck a chord with Hermione. It was then when she realised that she was late. The sudden realisation made her think and stop dead. Closing her eyes she couldn't believe she had been so stupid of course she knew they had to have a child but she wanted to wait. They never used contraception when they were on the honeymoon. She glanced to her stomach and gulped. Clearing her face from any emotion that was from her stupidity she answered Blaise's question.
"Your mother is talking about children you idiot," she laughed but inside she was beginning to feel sick. She was surprised that she had never thought about it when Bellatrix asked her about children. It was quite a popular conversation, she made a mental note to get a pregnancy test from Madam Pomfrey. Harry had told her that Pansy had gone for a test few days ago but she hadn't heard from him to confirm if she was.
"Oh I understand now, we're planning on waiting for a little while but yeah I guess this time next year we'll either have a baby or Hermione would be pregnant."
As they walked to the living room Marco turned to Hermione. "So you've met my brother Lewis have you?"
"Yes he's lovely and he brought Blaise's baby pictures," she laughed.
"He was always like that Lewis also had to embarrass someone." He winked at her and she laughed, "Wasn't fond of the weather however,"
"Yeah he mentioned that, he thinks he should have come a few months in the future," the two of them laughed even more as they walked into the living room.
The first thing they did was hand out gifts, Hermione Draco and Blaise had chosen Marco a male vintage antique desk that they had discovered in a Muggle antique shop in America, it was solid wood and large with stylish decorative patterns around the top and side. It had cost them a hundred and twenty dollars but they decided it was a bargain. They shrunk it down and when they enlarged it Hermione wrapped it at home. Knowing they'd have difficulty transporting it to Zabini manor with the size that it was Hermione cast a spell on it, making sure it would shrink and enlarge and the wrapping would do the same without it ripping. Blaise had mentioned upon seeing it that his father's office was all vintage but his desk and it would fit perfectly in his office. Marco was ecstatic with his piece of furniture and thanked the three of them for the gift.
The next gift was for Maria, while in the antique shop they had discovered a beautiful vase it was glossed white with two mocking birds facing one another the two birds were sat in a cherry blossom tree and the floor was covered by fallen cherry blossom. It was hand painted and the detail was exquisite, it was a sign of beauty and on Blaise's word they purchased this. Both his mother and father were delighted with their gifts, and then it was there turn to hand out gifts.
Hermione received new dress robes, they knew she wasn't somebody who was into dressing up but they had decided that she would need them for gatherings that she would be forced to attend. They were surprised when Hermione's eyes lit up with delight they were expecting her to not be fond of her gift, but she was very happy about it. Blaise and Draco received the same gift, the latest broom from Firebolt. It had been released days before Christmas and it had been a joint decision by Lucius and Marco that Maria and Marco would buy both boys a broom each. Hermione groaned when she saw the two brooms, she knew this could only mean trouble.
Once all the gifts had been opened the topic changed to the boy's fertility tests.
"It was weird but they said I was perfectly fine and could have children, Draco on the other hand needs to be much more careful with his lifestyle if he wishes to stay fertile."
"Well at least both of you can have children; I'd suggest having as many as you'd like early in case one of you becomes infertile. If I had one piece of advice it would to have at least two children."
"Only two mother? When we discussed how many children we each wanted Hermione here turned to us and said 12. I must say I like your idea much better mother," Hermione scowled at Blaise and Draco laughed.
"12 kids and her half – Kneazle cat Crookshanks I think me and you Blaise are in for a long few years," everyone laughed but Hermione who huffed and scowled at her two husbands.
The hours passed and when Hermione next looked at the clock she was shocked to see it was nearing 6 o clock, nudging Draco's foot he looked at her and she pointed to the clock, he did the same to Blaise and they left it to him to announce their departure.
"We should really be going now, we've had a lovely time but we'd like to spend the rest of our first Christmas alone at well home," Blaise found it strange to announce Hogwarts as home but he guessed it was, well for the time being it would be.
"Of course go home and celebrate Christmas, next year we'll all come to yours for the celebrations."
The trio nodded their heads and exchanged hugs before they bid their farewells and disappeared into the fire.
"Home finally," said Draco as he plopped on to the sofa pulling Hermione down with him. Giggling she cuddled up into hid warm chest and sighed. The pregnancy theory had completely left her mind. Once Blaise had appeared from the floo, she jumped up.
"Presents!"
"Can't we do that later Mione?"
"Nope c'mon." sighing Draco heaved himself off the sofa and followed Blaise into the kitchen.
"Who's going first?" Blaise asked.
"Can I?" Blaise and Draco nodded and watched her disappear out of the room she arrived a minute later with a bundle of presents in her hand. "these ones are for you Blaise," he took the brightly coloured gifts and unwrapped them. He laughed when he saw the gifts he had been given. Over the months that he lived with Hermione he had become addicted to the animated children's programmes on the television.
Hermione had bought the Italian the box sets of Looney Tunes, Garfield, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry and a few other classics.
"Thank you baby girl," he told her lovingly placing a finger under her chin to raise her face so he could place a kiss on her lips.
"Draco your turn now," she handed him a large box. He looked at the box and frowned tearing away the wrapping he smirked. The entire box was full of games and an Xbox. He had seen one when in America and had wanted to play on one for ages, he had also wanted to play some of the games.
Hermione had managed to buy both her boys a gift from the Muggle World which she was extremely proud of.
The two boys had found it easy to buy for Hermione; they started with two things that meant a lot to her; her studies and half-Kneazle. They had both gotten her something for Crookshanks, Blaise a ball, and Draco a new collar. Hermione was over the moon with the gifts and called in Crookshanks; he wasn't overly happy with the collar but did think it looked gorgeous on him. The ball he found fun.
The next set of gifts were for her studies, Blaise; Eagle feather quills, and Draco a new handbook that was subject marked that she could write notes down on to. She hugged both the boys for the gifts. Thinking it was the end she was surprised when she saw them hand her two more gifts, one from each of them. Draco had gotten Hermione a pendant that was engraved with their wedding vows on the back, the large crystal gem twinkled in the light.
"It's enchanted to shine whenever you are upset or angry it will change to a different colour, I've been told it's similar to what Muggles call a mood ring but it's just in a pendant instead."
"Thank you Draco it's beautiful, I love it," she hugged the blonde kissing him on the cheek.
Blaise then handed her his gift, he didn't think it was as special as the gift Draco had given her. His gift was a beauty set that she could use when soaking in the bath. There were bath bombs, shower gel, massage oils, face masks, and much more.
"Ooh, I can't wait to have a bath, but Blaise are you going to give a massage," she winked at him shaking the bottle in his hand.
"Why do you think that is in there?" She smirked and leaned into kiss Blaise whispering thank you in the kiss.
"Want to watch a film; I'm sure they'll be a Christmas film one on the television." Hermione suggested.
The trio walked back into the living room and made themselves comfy on the sofa, she flicked through the channels and was happy to find the Christmas Carol was on, she was even happier when she realised it was the Disney one which would keep Blaise happy.
"This scrooge fella reminds me of Professor Snape in a way," Hermione laughed out loud when Draco made this comment.
"I guess he is," Hermione smiled at Draco and made small talk with him throughout the film. There was no chance trying to talk to Blaise he was too engrossed in the film to start a conversation.
As she watched the film she couldn't think of Christmas been any better, she looked at the two men beside her who were watching the film and smiled.
When the film had finished Hermione placed on Santa Clause 3 which confused the two boys because they hadn't seen the first two films. As the second film grew to a close they decided to go to bed, Hermione knew that they wouldn't be going to sleep straight away but that didn't bother her. The one thing that did was the pregnancy fear that she was keeping hidden, in the next few days she would visit Madam Pomfrey and see what the future held.
"Mione are you coming?" Draco cried from upstairs. Placing her hand on her stomach she looked down.
"I'm on my way."
So Christmas is over and Hermione is worrying about being pregnant, is she or isn't she? You'll just have to wait and see. Please review :)
