A month later, Narcissa was grinning ear to ear as the healer confirmed her pregnancy. She was elated that she had managed to get pregnant as quickly as she had and knew it was the little prank from Hermione and Draco that cause him to kick into action.
She had learned of the prank the next day when she noticed a pick up in Lucius' sex drive. She of course asked him what had changed and when he explained about reclaiming his masculinity after the prank, Narcissa couldn't help but laugh and laugh and laugh. The image of Severus chasing Lucius around school grounds put a smile on her face for days.
"And there's no doubt that I am having this baby?" Narcissa asked the healer once more
"I'm as positive as they get. You are expecting a child and if you wish, I can tell you the sex."
Narcissa practically gave herself whiplash as she nodded enthusiastically. She really hoped it was a girl but if she gained another son, she would be happy with that as well – she was still hoping for a girl though.
"Alright, Mrs. Malfoy, Lay back so I can perform the charm."
Narcissa did as requested, crossing her fingers for the girl
"Well?" Narcissa asked impatiently
"Give me one more minute dear, I want to be sure." The healer responded
Each second that passed by felt like years for Narcissa. She had to fight the urge to ask again.
"Well, Mrs. Malfoy, It looks as if you have a daughter on the way, congratulations."
Narcissa squealed a high pitch note and jumped up excitedly. She couldn't wait to tell Lucius, Draco and Hermione.
Oooooooooooooooooooo
Lucius walked into Malfoy Manor an hour later and went straight to his study. He had been in a board meeting for one of his businesses all day long and was ready to just relax for the night. He was fortunate that he did not have to go in very often, but on the occasion that he had to make an appearance, the day seemed to wear him out and give him a headache.
"Lucius, How was your day?" Narcissa asked as she slipped into the study.
Lucius inwardly groaned, he loved his wife but he just want to relax… alone.
"It was fine, I'm just a little tired is all. I had to deal with the Winters Brothers today and they are very, very hard to please."
Narcissa nodded, she had heard they were absolute monsters when it came to making a business deal.
"Well, I have some news that might lighten up your day a bit." She said with a grin
Lucius raised his eyebrow to her, signaling for her to continue.
"I went to a healer today as I have not been feeling well and she told me that I'm pregnant."
Lucius nodded, he really hadn't been paying close attention to what his wife was saying.
"Did you hear me?" She asked
"Yes, you said you went to a healer and they said you were --, Wait, you mean it worked?"
Narcissa smiled, "Yes it worked, did you doubt yourself?"
Lucius shook his head in the negative but secretly he had been wondering if all those years in Voldemorts service, being hexed for one thing or another had left him sterile.
"Well, Lucius, I am happy to say we are going to finally have a daughter."
Lucius was not an emotional man, but at the words 'Daughter', his radar went up and he found himself already plotting ways to ward off future boyfriends. He still had a headache but this was a cause for a celebration. He stood from his chair, walked to the smiling blond witch and pulled her up, kissing her with as much passion as he could muster.
"I think a nice dinner out is in order." He stated
"Can we go and get the kids? I'd like to celebrate with them as well."
Lucius nodded, It was thanks to them that he had to feel manly again and he really owed them one. Narcissa made a quick floo call to Dumbledore, asking if they could take Draco and Hermione out with them for dinner.
"It's all set" She said cheerily, "I will grab my coat and we can go."
He gave her another kiss before she walked out and he slumped back in his chair. He was going to have a daughter, A DAUGHTER, and that meant he was going to have to use his complete arsenal to fend off boys with wondering paws.
Was he ready? Could he really handle another child? He wasn't sure but Malfoy's didn't back down and he'd be damned if they started now.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Severus Snape was a solitary man for the most part. He occasionally enjoyed the company of friends, even if he didn't admit it, but that was the extent of it. He didn't have a steady witch for a reason. He didn't want to explain to someone when he went out, or have to coddle an emotional witch… it just wasn't his thing and that was how he liked it.
Unfortunatly for him though, the pretty blond witch at the brothel had taken a liking to him and had begun stalking him. He knew he had given it to the witch good that night, but not that good, and right now he was really hating Draco and Hermione.
He had received the 25th letter from the witch today and burned it with out even reading it. Her initial letters spoke of how she would make him the perfect wife, the perfect mother of his children and essentially described the large house with the white picket fence in front – the idea made him shudder.
The 15th letter he had received contained a picture of the witch in a wedding dress, blowing kisses at him. He quickly ripped the picture and threw the paper into the fire and that was how he handled every letter since.
He would get revenge on Draco and Hermione… one way or another.
A/N: No, I'm not making Severus mean or evil. He will just be in it for the pranks. Also, I have had a few reviews wanting me to tame down the pranks because Hermione is pregnant. I wont tame them down but I will promise that she will not be hurt in the least, nor the baby.
