Ok so yesterday morning I was in the shower...lalala...and the idea for a sequel came to me. Finally. So anyhow here it. If you haven't read "Only the Cowardly Die Alone" I suggest reading that first. Tell me what you think!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Oh Draco, its perfect!"

Hermione rubbed her hand over her already-growing stomach while she took in the view. The little cottage was white washed and had ivy groing up the sides. Paths swerved in all directions away from the house and spilled into the woods and field. The setting August sun splashed everything in an orange glow. She turned to Draco. He looked unsure.

"Are you positive, because I wasn't sure what you were expecting, with my background and all."

Honestly, he knew he could have bought half, if not all, of London for her but he didn't think that was what she wanted. Hermione smiled.

"It really is perfect."

Draco glanced down at his watch and groaned.

"We had better get you settled in before I have to go."

Hermione took his hand and he lead her towards the house.

"I wish you didn't have to go."

"I'm the new guy so I get stuck with the crappy jobs. It will only be a few weeks, besides you will have Ginny."

Hermione sighed. She was proud of him for finding a job so quickly, but wished he didn't have to travel. He didn't really even need a job, but he insisted they didn't solely live on the enormous fortune his parents left him behind. She understood that and actually would have insisted upon it if he hadn't first. He had made it very clear when they decided to move in together that he wanted to be independent of his parents influences. Draco helped her unpack the rest of the boxes. He opened one to find her magazine collection. Perched on top was one from last summer starring a picture of him and his mother. He laughed and passed it to Hermione.

She blushed and threw it back into the box.

"Your bloody ego is big enough without making me relive humiliating parts of my past."

"With good reason though."

Hermione snorted and went back to unpack. His ego was truly bigger than everyone elses in London combined. He looked insulted by her lack of support.

"That's the part where you agree with me!"

"Oh I'm sorry darling...You are right...you are the greatest man ever to walk the earth and your ego is the perfect size because you are just that wonderful."

"That's much better."

Hermione shook her head at him and laughed but leaned over and kissed him anyway. Draco looked up at the clock. He sighed and stood up.

"Time to go."

"I'll miss you."

He pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead.

"I'll miss you ,too, and when I get back we'll start planning our wedding."

Hermione ignored the strings inside of her that tightened at his words. She smiled instead.

"I love you."

He smiled and kissed her.

"Take care of yourself"

And with that he apparated into thin air. Hermione sank back down to the floor. She stared at the ring on her hand through tears. It was starting to feel heavier everyday. Originally she had been so excited Draco had asked her but now she questioned the truth in his feelings. She knew he loved her. There was never a doubt in her mind as to that but she wondered if they would last. They hadn't even been going out a year. She worried he only asked because she was pregnant and that he would start to feel trapped. What concerned her the most though was the look he got in his eyes sometimes. Like he was far away, see something other than her, wishing he was somewhere other than there. Other times though he seemed completely in love. Somebody knocked at the door, most likely Ginny, since she was suppose to be coming over. Hermione raised herself up off the ground and wiped the tears away.

"One sec..."

Hermione knew Ginny wouldn't understand why she was crying. She wiped the last of the tears off her face and opened the door.

"Hey G..."

That was definitely not Ginny.
