A/N: IMPORTANT... I was going over this story and realized I left out a few warnings. I have added them in the first chapter so if you are a hard core HG/DM fan, I suggest you read the warnings and take it from there. I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of how this story might go before you invest yourself into reading and possibly getting disappointed in the end. I have also added a poll to my profile so check it out. Again I apologize for any that have started to read this and aren't comfortable with the added warnings.

Draco arrived at St. Mungo's at exactly 4 o'clock. Hermione had an appointment with Joseph for her 12th week check up and he would finally get a chance to be involved with the pregnancy. He cringed knowing that Thomas would be there as well but it was just something he was going to have to get used to for the time being.

When he reached the waiting area, Hermione was sitting in a chair while talking to Thomas with their hands clasped together. Draco rolled his eyes but walked forward, determined to break up the mushy scene.

"I'm not late am I?" he asked while sitting in the chair next to her.

Hermione gave Thomas a quick kiss as he was heading to visit one of his patients before turning to Draco.

"No, you're on time. Joseph is just finishing up with his last patient."

Draco nodded but cringed, He didn't like the fact that she was being seen by someone in such a public place – he still felt the Malfoy's private healer would be the best option.

They waited for about five more minutes before Joseph came out and called for Hermione and Draco. They followed him down the hall and into a room that looked exactly like the one she had been in before.

"How are you doing Ms. Granger, Mr. Malfoy?" Joseph asked

Hermione cleared her throat, "Much better then the first time I came in."

"Yes, yes, I seem to remember Thomas telling me you were in pretty bad shape when he found you."

Draco looked at her with a confused glance, she hadn't said anything about problems.

"Ah, yes, but he fixed me up. I am also no longer on the potion." She replied

"Are you still sick?"

"Just a little but not as much – nothing worth taking a potion for."

Joseph gave her a smile, "I guess there are benefits of dating an Obstetrician."

She laughed as Draco glared, "Yes there is. I also know what I'm getting into with all the changes."

Joseph smiled again and sat the clip board down.

"We are just going to do a basic health check on you and the baby. I can also tell you if the child is male or female today if you would like."

Hermione glanced over to Draco, "I want to know but if you don't I will just tell him to write it down for me."

"No, no, I want to know if I'm going to be having a son or daughter." he replied, happy that she actually consulted him in the decision.

She laid back on the table as Joseph ran his wand over her body. He told her as he went that the baby had good vitals, was growing right on target. He then told her that her health was fine other then a small vitamin deficiency and gave her some prenatal vitamins.

"Now, are you both agreed on knowing the sex of the child?"

Draco and Hermione both nodded. Hermione didn't care either way and neither did Draco – it was just easier to get what the baby needed when they knew the sex.

"Very well, congratulations, you are having a boy." Joseph said with a large smile.

Hermione smiled, a boy would be nice and she was happy with it. Draco however froze, he was going to have a son – a son, and he was very close to jumping up and shouting with joy.

"Thank you." Hermione said with a large grin, she felt like she had won the lottery.

Draco nodded, still unable to speak.

"I want to see you back in four weeks for the regular check up. I also want you to take your vitamins everyday, don't stress yourself out and enjoy your pregnancy."

Hermione thanked him once again as did Draco and made her way out to schedule her next appointment. She set it up for when she turned 16 weeks and bid the receptionist good-bye.

"So, what do you think?" she asked as they made their way out to the waiting room.

"I'm thrilled to be having a son." he replied, "and I would like you to come to dinner with me so we can possibly discuss names."

Hermione shook her head, "I can't do it tonight but tomorrow I don't have any plans – can we do it then?"

Draco was about to ask what she was doing tonight when his thoughts were answered by the sight of Thomas walking through the door.

"Ready to go Luv?" He asked, bending down to kiss her on the cheek.

"Yeah, just a second." she replied with a smile before turning back to Draco.

"So are we on for tomorrow?" she asked

"Yeah, I'll pick you up around 7" he mumbled, pissed that she was actually choosing to go out with another man rather then him.

"Good, I'll see you then." She leaned forward and gave him an awkward hug before turning and joining arms with Thomas.

Draco stood there for a minute as he watch the pair walk away. He couldn't help but feel a little rejected as she smiled at Thomas the way she use to smile at him. He could see that they were engaging in playful banter as they rounded the corner and all he could do is shake his head – it could have been him walking with her if he had just tried to control his feelings a little better.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I am stopping this here for the night as the next chapter will have TL/HG lemons in it. I put this in the warning from the beginning and I'm putting it in here. If you are a strict HG/DM reader, you may want to skip the next chapter or stop reading the story. I hate to lose readers but I feel it only right to inform you in advance instead of just springing it on you.
