Draco looked at where Hermione was still holding their hands on her stomach then looked into her eyes. She was looking at him with an unreadable expression. He could see she looked nervous, and he saw a tear slip from her eye as she waited and he watched it fall. The baby moved again under his hand and he looked back down before looking up again. Swallowing he finally whispered, "How long have you known?" Instantly she looked away and he saw the guilt flash in her eyes before she looked at her feet. Cupping her chin he forced her to look at him and asked her again.
She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it. Her eyes welled up with tears and they were begging for his understanding. "Three months. I believe I got pregnant the second week we were together. I found out for sure the day I fainted. " He looked at her silently and his mouth dropped open. Instantly she stepped as close as she could and hugged him. "Please don't be mad at me Draco. I wanted to tell you." He stepped away from her and he saw another tear fall. He walked to the couch and sat down heavily. Hermione didn't move until she heard him call her name softly. She looked up to see him holding open his arms. Instantly she crossed the room and went into them hugging him tightly. She buried her head in his shoulder and held him tight.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He knew his voice had an egde to it and he was trying hard to keep himself calm and under control. She pulled away and sighed before answering.
"I hated that we were living a lie and no one knew and it was always going to be a secret. I dont want to have to hide forever. I wasn't sure you loved me and I knew I loved you and I wanted you to love me on your own. I didn't want you to love me because I'm pregnant I wanted you to love me on your own. And I thought if it was always secrets and lies that eventually we'd break up and I'd have to raise it on my own. You even said that if we went public or someone found out someone would try to kill me. I don't want my baby in danger. Our baby." Draco looked at her for a long moment before a gentle smile crossed his face.
"I did love you Hermione. I do love you. Always have. And you should've told me." She wrapped her arms around him before looking into his eyes.
"I'm sorry Draco. I'm so sorry." Nodding gruffly he leaned into her and gently kissed her before forgiving her. They sat there for a long time and finally Hermione whispered, "I love you Draco Malfoy." She felt him smile.
"I love you Hermione Granger." Cupping her chin he asked softly, "So I'm going to be a dad?" Hermione nodded. Smiling he picked her up and twirled her before setting her down and kissing her fiercly as he knew how. Hermione laughed and hugged him with all her might before pulling back. Smiling she went to her room and pulled out the ultra sound pictures and showed Draco explaining how it worked and where the baby was. Draco smiled and held onto her the entire time and she knew his anger was forgotten.
Hermione felt herself smile. She wished they could always stay this way. She knew there relationship only had a few choices and she knew the one she desperatly wanted. Sighing she curled into Draco and they fell asleep together.
The next morning Hermione was surprised that Draco was still cuddling with her. He was still asleep and his hand was placed over her stomach protectively. She smiled before gently waking him up. He looked at her sleeply before smiling and kissing her. Hermione closed her eyes and surrendered to it before pulling back and saying, "I want to go public." Draco shook his head no.
"Draco!" He pulled her to him and forced her to look at him.
"Hermione, no. Your friends would hate you. Mine would hate me. My father would get someone to kill you and your pregnant I wont risk it."
She pulled away and began to yell. "So what then I'm just a dirty little secret? It's ok to bed me and love me but not if anyone can see right? What do you think there going to say when I have the baby huh? I'm not dating anyone in public so they'll think I'm a whore and say bad things about my child!Not to mention me and heaven knows what they'll say about the father. How is that fair? If you love me how could you possibly want that for me and the baby?" She moved to walk past him and he grabbed her hand stopping her. Hermione looked at there hands joined and Draco's eyes followed hers.
"Don't you want this Draco?" She asked, holding up there hands. "Not in the common room? We can't hold hands together, we can't eat together or study together. We can't kiss. We can't even touch. We hide our feelings everyday and we just have this, a common room. No future planned, and now we have a baby on the way. "
Draco sighed and tugged her gently to him before whispering, "I don't want you to die. Please Hermione. I see your point I swear to you I do. But can you please see mine?" She opened her mouth to protest and he asked again pleading with her. "Please Hermione. Can you not see mine?" His eyes were begging her to understand. Defeated she nodded her head and went to room to change. Draco wiped his own eyes realizing that he was crying to before going to his own room. He heard the bathroom door open and a few minutes later he heard whimpering sounds on the other side. He pressed his ear to the door and wanted to punch himself. Hermione was crying. Not jsut crying,sobbing. Opening the door he sat down with her and kissed her.
She leaned into him and felt something wet touch her cheek. Looking up she saw Draco's eyes. He was crying too. Instantly she hugged him and whispered, "I'm sorry." Nodding he kissed her.
"We will find a way to make this work I promise. But please give me time please." Hermione nodded. Then she smiled and took Draco's hand and placed it on her stomach. The baby was moving more than usual. There eyes met and they smiled. In that moment nothing else existed. It was just them and their baby. She wished and could see he felt it too that they could always stay this way. In this time, in this place, in this moment, they had nothing to fear. No reason to worry. It was just them, just their feelings and their love.
Hermione leaned into his chest before whispering, "Just so you know, it's a boy."
