Hey!! I'm back and you have not had to wait a month :)
To everyone who has R&R I thank you (I really really do) also everyone one who has added this story to their alert list, you make me happy..
So back with the plot at hand...
'This place is amazing Draco!'
'I'm glad you like it, I picked it especially.'
'Especially for what exactly?'
'Well there is this thing that has been playing on my mind recently and I thought that it would be best if I shared it with you'
'You are meant to share things with your girlfriend, so spill'
'Okay, do you want some wine first?'
'Erm, no I'm okay thanks.'
'Are you sure?'
'Are you trying to make me drunk?'
'No, I'm trying to ask you to marry me'
...
...
...
'If that was your proposal it was severely lacking'
'Sorry I was flustered.'
...
...
'Hermione Jane Granger, will you please give me that greatest pleasure in becoming my wife?'
...
'I would love to be your wife Draco; we'll just have to wait awhile before we get married.'
'Why?'
'As I'm currently two months pregnant with your child and I refuse to walk down the aisle looking like a whale.'
...
'We're pregnant.'
'Are you okay with that, you look a bit green.'
'I'm ecstatic, I was just thinking of breaking the new to my mother that we are having a child out of wedlock.'
'Thanks for looking after the kids yesterday and while I was at the doctors.' Hermione said, Maggie was once again sitting across from her in their little coffee shop. 'Any time, did Draco tell you how upset I was at him?'
'He did mention it, but I think it helped. It's hard to describe but I've tried not to think of them for so long that it was almost as if what we went through never happened, and if that never happened then I wouldn't be where I am today and I wouldn't have Draco or Ty or Grace'
'Or me.'
'Or you' Hermione laughed.
'When is this thing anyway?' the blonde women asked. Hermione reached into her handbag and pulled out the plain white parchment and handed it to her friend, Maggie held it like it was a delicate flower. 'Three weeks time,' she stated then handed it back. 'Do you want me to come?'
'No Mag's it'll be fine I promise.'
'Yes, I was asking to come to look after you. I was not asking to check out all the hot wizards that are going to be there.' She smiled devilish as she picked up her coffee and took a sip, dressed in a stylish white suit Maggie just oozed sex appeal, Hermione frowned at her friend. 'Shut up.' She simply stated.
Smiling Maggie looked intently at her 'It might not be as bad as you think, people move on'
'I hope so' Hermione wished.
'Well you did, ha I remember to you coming home and telling me you had a date with Draco Malfoy like it was a crime'
'I thought it was!'
'I think it is slightly poetic, the people that you loved you don't speak to and the person who by your admission you disliked you married.'
'Once again I find myself telling you to shut up'
Both women laughed. 'So what did you have to go to the doctors for, it better not be stress!' Maggie warned. Hermione shook her head. 'It was not stress related.' She reassured 'It was pregnancy related.' There was a short gasp. 'You're pregnant again?' the slight women asked hand covering her mouth Hermione started nodding when Maggie leapt over the little coffee table to hug her 'I'm going to be an auntie again! Does Draco know?'
'I need to breathe Maggie. No, Draco does not know yet, I'm telling him tonight.'
Hermione was giving Grace a bath whist Ty was waiting for Draco to come home to scare him.
'Mamma' Grace laughed splashing the water all over Hermione's jeans 'Grace Malfoy! Stop it you little terror' Hermione laughed, grabbing her wand from the sink she dried her clothes 'Whoosh!' Grace exclaimed kicking her leg making more splashes 'Okay, ready?' Graces nodded her eyes tightening in concentration. Hermione used her wand to make the water rise and twirl around the toddler Grace squealed and reached a slightly chubby hand out to touch the water like she did every time not understanding how mummy made the water move up when all she could do was splash it out.
Downstairs Hermione heard the door open then a few minutes later heard the sound of Ty jumping out from 'new and improved' hiding place. 'Grace daddy's home.' She informed her daughter, leaving the water that was slowly going back into the bath Grace turned to her 'Daddy.' Her hands made a clutching motion at her and Hermione took this as the queue that the child was clean and had enough of the water display.
She had hurriedly dried and dressed a preoccupied two year old in her bedroom when Draco walked in with Ty on his shoulders 'Mummy, mummy I scared daddy!' he exclaimed excitedly Draco smiled and gently threw Ty on the bed where he squealed with pleasure 'How are my ladies' He came forward kissed Hermione on the cheek and picked the impatient Grace up 'Your all nice and clean Gracie, is it bed time?' he asked
'No!' both children cried in unison
'But I thought it was your turn to pick a story from The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Ty?'
'I'll pick.' Hermione said
'No mummy, you'll pick a girl's story.' Ty cried getting off the bed and running to the children's bedroom.
'Let's read The Warlock's Hairy Heart' he called from the other room. Draco still carrying Grace and Hermione followed him. Ty was in bed the heavy old book on his lap, 'I don't think that is such a good bed time story with the whole cutting out hearts, think of your sister.' Draco stated placing Grace in her cot bed 'How about tonight we'll have The Fountain of Fair Fortune and then you and me Ty will read The Warlock's Hairy Heart tomorrow.'
Ty scowled 'Promise?'
'I pinky promise'
'Okay!'
'I'll leave you lot to it then.' Hermione said kissing her children goodnight 'Don't be too long.' She whispered to Draco kissing the corner of his lips.
Draco stopped reading when both of his children had their eyes shut and their breathing slowed, kissing both of their head he placed Hermione's book back on Ty's book shelf and quietly made his way down the corridor to the master bedroom.
Hermione was lying in the centre of the bed, her long curly locks spread out around her face. One hand was by her face the other resting on her stomach, Draco just stood there for while taking her in he never got bored of just looking at her.
After the war Draco had gone travelling. The world was so big and there was no one to hold him back telling him what he should be doing with his life, he was in Australia the first time he saw Hermione Granger after the war, the summer was hot and she was alone. It was so random that they would see each other that they automatically started talking, she was there to reverse a spell she placed on her parents before she went back to Hogwarts to retake her last year he was there to live life and have fun.
The only reason he had returned back home from his trips was to bury his father six months later, it was then his choice to take of the family business, his choice to change the name of that business from Malfoy Inc to Everything Magic, it was his choice to destroy the Malfoy Manor, his choice to move away from the spotlight that he so loved when he was younger.
He had spotted Hermione again later on that year, she was a state there was no other word for it he was shopping around for a new house and she was sitting in a park with a blonde girl, they were hugging each other and from what he could see they were both crying. Draco hadn't done anything he just walked on by but he did go back the next day and she was there again sitting alone on a bench. Skin white and her frame thin she looked as though she had been sick, 'Are you okay Granger?' he asked taking a seat next to her. He didn't know why he had approached her or even why he felt compelled to talk to her there was something so heartbreaking about seeing Hermione Granger so fallen, this was the girl who had smacked him, who had withstood the torture of his vindictive aunt and if she was here looking as though her world had stopped where were her friends? Where was Harry Potter, Ron Weasley even the she-Weasley? He asked her this of course but she hadn't told him and he did not expect her to however he kept on coming back to the park, and she would always be there she wouldn't say much just yes or no.
His next move was to bring food and drink with him to the park, he would offer her some and she would nibble but only after he had some, this carried on for two weeks. She started to change slightly; open up more give more than a one word answer she even smiled once when some sauce come out of a hotdog he was eating and dripped onto his expensive shirt.
One evening he was working from home when the front door bell rang, confused as to who would be knocking he opened it. Before him stood a blonde woman who looked slightly familiar.
'Are you Draco Malfoy?' she asked, Draco nodded. 'My name is Maggie Smith; I'm a friend of Hermione Granger.' Even more confused Draco nodded again. 'Are you slow or something?' she asked, affronted Draco stiffened 'Why would I care who you are friends with?' he asked. The women before him smiled. 'Because for some reason Hermione is getting better and I believe you are the reason behind it. I've heard of your reputation Mr Malfoy and if for whatever reason you hurt my friend I will castrate you. The muggle way. Is that understood?' she asked. Draco couldn't help himself, he laughed. 'I have no intention of hurting anyone.' He stated this then the Maggie creature huffed and vanished from his doorstep in a twirl of blonde hair.
'What are you thinking?' came a groggy voice from the bed pulling Draco from his retrieve
'Just about when we first started seeing each other.' He answered walking over to her he climbed on the bottom of the bed nudging her legs open so he could lay between them his head resting on her navel. 'Why were you thinking about that?' she asked running a hand through his hair. 'Not too sure really.' He confessed 'I just kissed the kids goodnight then I came in here and saw you laying there and was thinking is it sick for me to be grateful for the things that have happened to the both of us if it's brought us here?' he looked at her a frown on his brow. Hermione ran a finger over the frown saying 'I'm eternally grateful for what's happened to us, look at all the things that we have –'
'Our family - ' he cut in.
'A good home -'
'A selective few but really good friends - '
'Good Jobs -'
'Great sex' Draco kissed her stomach and Hermione giggled, Draco moved himself further up the bed and Hermione's body to kiss more of her.
'Definitely can't forget the sex life' Hermione breathed
'And let's not forget the children.' He murmured against her skin his breath on her flesh made her squirm slightly. 'No, we can't forget our lovely children. All three of them' she said. His kissing of her flesh slowed, 'I know I am not as smart as you Hermione but Ty and Grace equal two.'
'Ty plus Grace plus the one that you are currently placing kisses on top of would mean three.' Hermione smiled, Draco looked up at her 'We're having another baby?' he asked a small smile pulled at the corner of his lips. 'Yes we are' she confirmed. Draco laughed moving up until he claimed her lips with his own, Hermione wrapped her arms around his strong shoulders kissing him back with the same amount of passion that he was kissing her with.
Hermione removed her hand from around his shoulder so she could grab the buttons on his shirt and yank them open; relishing the feel of his skin beneath her fingers Hermione unconsciously rubbed her hip against her husband's groin 'Oh Merlin I need you!' Draco exclaimed breaking their kiss Hermione moaned when he moved away from her body jumping off the bed to remove his shoes and then the rest of his clothes, rushing to get her clothes off to be able to touch him again Hermione wiggled out her jeans removing all underwear in the process she kicked these offending items off on the floor which was soon followed by her top and bra. Panting Hermione stood up on the bed watching as Draco stepped out of his boxers.
There he was standing before her in all his toned glory, his body was lean and as pale as always 'Come here' Draco demanded Hermione giggled again and walking on the bed she stopped at the edge looking at him Draco moving with the skill and speed of a former Seeker grabbed her around the hips and pulled her off the bed Hermione gave a shriek of surprise but he soon placed her on the floor, her back against the wall he claimed her mouth again, his hands running up and down her body grouping at her chest and butt, her hands started on his chest then slowly made their way down to his throbbing member 'Oh Draco' she breathed.
He used his knee to nudge her legs apart and still holding on to him she guided him into her all the while staring into his gray eyes, when he was fully inside her and they caught their breathe Draco start push himself in and out of her slowly building up tempo. It didn't take long for the heat to start in the pit of Hermione stomach and soon she was scratching and digging her nails into Draco's shoulders as he lifted her legs to deepen the penetration, she came calling out his name, pulsated around him was always his undoing he slammed into her spilling his seed into her welcoming body.
Letting her legs down Draco stayed in her 'I love it when we do this.' Draco panted kissing Hermione's hot shoulder. 'Encase you couldn't tell, so do I.' Hermione giggled again.
'What are you doing?' Came a small voice from the door.
Hermione and Draco turned their identical horrified faces to the door where their four year old son stood with The Tales of Beedle the Bardbook tightly clutched in his small hands.
