"Okay, Bye Ginny." I said, hanging up my phone and looking at my husband on the other side of the bars.
"What did she say?" He asked, trying not to look me in the eye.
"She said that if they're not charging you with anything we can leave." I said, folding my arms across my chest.
"What?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing. It's just that, well, you're in jail." I said, smirking at him.
"I had to do what I had to do! That guy wasn't going to leave you alone, so I think he deserved what he got. I mean, I already punched him once. He should've expected it." He said, crossing his arms and pouting.
"Well-" I said, getting interrupted my the jingling of keys as the officer opened the door to the holding cell.
"Look, Ja-"
"Listen, if you're not going to charge me with anything, you can't keep me here!" He said, interrupting the officer.
"Actually, sir, that's what I came to tell you. We have decided not to charge you, on one condition." He said gruffly.
"And that would be?" I asked, before Draco could.
"The two of you are not allowed to come back into the country." He said, unlocking Draco's cell door.
"Fine. Now If you would step aside, my wife and I can still make our flight. Come on, love." Draco said, grabbing my hand, and leading us back out to the gate.
"And what are you laughing at?" He asked me, noticing my small giggles.
"Ha. Well, We've only been married for three weeks and you already get us banned from a country." I said.
"Yeah yeah. Come on." He said with a smile, kissing me, and walking us onto the plane.
8 hours of silence later…..
"Finally! God bless America!" Draco said, patting the ground as soon as he got off the plane.
"Um, what are you doing?" I asked, laughing as he gave the ground a small kiss.
"Well, I don't like planes. And it's good to be on the ground." He said, standing up, hooking his arm around my waist, and leading us to his car.
"Yeah… so where are we going?" I asked, stepping into his car.
"Well, I need to get a few things from diagon alley for us, and then we'll go home. I have a feeling someone is waiting for us." He said quizzically.
"Well okay." I said, looking out the window.
That's when it first hit me. The nausea. As I looked out the window, I suddenly felt like we were going 100 miles an hour, and the car was spinning. I felt my face get warmer, and I swear, when I looked in the rearview mirror, that my skin was slightly green.
"Draco, pull over!" I said, a little louder than I should have. Draco stopped the car as fast as he could without killing us, and unlocked the door.
"Hermione, what's-" He said, but I was already on the side of the road, emptying the contents of my stomach.
"Ugh." I said, spitting, and grimacing at the bad taste in my mouth.
"Are you okay, baby?" Draco asked me, as I got back into the car, and buckled up.
"Um, yeah. It probably had something to do with the sudden change in altitude. I'm fine." I replied as he started driving again.
Truth be told, I really did feel fine. The sick feeling had passed just as soon as it came. Now, I was actually kind of hungry. We rode in silence until we got to diagon alley. We walked into the small pub, tabbed on the brinks in the back of the store, and entered the alley. Draco went straight to Borgon and Burke's, while I went to the weasly's joke shop.
"Aw, the new Mrs. Malfoy." I heard a voice say from behind me.
I turned around, and to my astonishment, I saw Astoria standing there, looking…. Guilty? "What do you want?"
"I, uh, I wanted to apologize. For the way I acted at your….wedding." She said, looking at my feet.
"I'm up here." I said, snapping my fingers as her head went up to meet mine. "I want you to look me in the eye, and tell me that."
She tried to look away, But I kept snapping my fingers. "Okay, fine. I'm unbelievably sorry for what I did. I'm getting over Draco, and if he had to be with someone else, I'm glad it's you. I'm just really, really sorry."
I was about o say something back when Draco ran up to meet, holding a bag, and stood in front of me.
"What are you doing here?" Draco spat, pushing me behind him when I tried to see Astoria.
"She was just telling me that she was sorry, and I was about to tell her that I accept her apology." I said, sidestepping Draco so I could hold out my hand. Astoria gladly shook it, and mouthed 'thank you' to me, all while Draco stood there dumbfounded.
"Come on, love." I said, waving goodbye to Astoria, and dragging Draco toward a shop.
"What the heck was that?" He finally said.
"Nothing. She told me she was sorry, and I accepted. I don't like holding grudges." I said, making him look at me in confusion.
"But-" He tried to say.
"No."
"But you-" He stammered once more.
"Shh! End of story! Now come on!" I said, grabbing his arm, and apparating us to the front of his- our apartment.
As soon as we stood in front of the door, I heard various 'shushing' noises, and I saw someone turn the lights off.
"I think someone is in our house." Draco whispered, pulling out his keys. He slowly turned them in the lock, and as soon as he opened the door, we were met with a loud 'welcome home'.
Everyone was there. Luna, Neville, Tonks, Harry, Ginny, Remus, Blaise, Pansy, Charlie, Arianna, and all of their kids. Harry's son, James, Luna's kids, Aislyn, Annabelle, and Austin, Tonk's son, Teddy, and Charlie's kids, also my goddaughters, Molly, Elizabeth, Anna, and Isabella, and his new 3 week old twins, Caleb and Cameron.
I was surprised everyone fit in there, but it seemed like all of the kids except for James and Teddy weren't in the room.
"Hey! How's the happy couple?" Ginny greeted us, coming up to me and hugging me tightly.
"Great! We had a spectacular time." I said, returning the hug and smiling at everyone in the room. "Although…."
"Although what?" Tonks said, coming forward to give me and Draco a hug. I did notice that her stomach seemed to point out a little more.
"Hey Tonks! You look good. So did you find out about the baby yet?" I asked.
"Yeah. It's-"
"It's a girl." Remus said, interrupting his wife, and putting his arm around her waist.
"That's great!" I exclaimed.
"And you were saying….." Luna said, coming to stand in front of me.
"Oh yeah. Draco here-"
"I got us banned from Jamaica." He said. This was the first time he had spoken since we got here.
"What? How?" Neville asked from across the room.
"It's a long story, and I'd prefer not to relive it." He said, putting his arms around my waist and kissing my cheek.
"Excuse me!" I shouted, squirming out of Draco's grip and running to the bathroom.
As soon as I got in there, I put my head over the toilet just in time to throw up noisily into it.
"Dang it." I said, spitting into the toilet, and getting up off the ground. I went to brush my teeth, twice, and as soon as I was done, I went back out into the living room to find everyone there with concerned looks.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Ginny asked me, coming over to me and putting her hand on my forehead.
"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. I'm fine now." I replied, and almost everyone gave me doubtful looks. "What?"
"Love, are you sure-" Draco said before I interrupted him.
"Yes I'm sure." I said sternly. I couldn't think of any reason to why I got sick- or why the sickness was gone already- so I left it at that.
"Okay." Draco said unsurely. He then wrapped his arms around me possessively, and sat us both on the couch.
"So? How are all of the kids?" I asked everyone.
"Um, I guess we'll go first." Ginny said, putting her hand on Harry's knee. "James is doing wonderful. He slept through the night for the first time a week ago, and he's got the cutest little laugh ever."
I laughed, thinking of my godson, and then I motioned for Luna to start.
"Okay, so Aislyn, Annabelle and Austin are doing great. They all smile a lot, but I'm sure it's just the wrackspurts in our house. Unfortunately, Aislyn came down with a cold and gave it to Austin, but Annabelle didn't get it. And lastly, they all sleep nights, but they think it's funny to wake mommy up at 6 every morning." She said, laughing right along with Neville.
"Aw. That's so sweet." I said. "Okay, Charlie?"
Charlie grabbed arianna's hand and looked at his sleeping boys. "Um, the kids are doing really good. The girls are really giving me a hard time though, and I thought the two's were bad. They now insist on wearing their tutus everyday, except for Isabella. She spends all her time with Arianna learning to read and write. She's just like you, really. I can tell she's already so smart. Molly, Anna, and Elizabeth are just like me. They are so stubborn and I can already tell they are strong. The same goes for Isabella. Caleb and Cameron were actually born the day after your wedding. That's why we weren't there. They are good, except that Cameron is lactose intolerant. Learned that the hard way. So to sum it up, the kids really missed you. The girls keep asking me when Auntie Mione and Uncle Drake are coming back." He said, smiling at us.
"Awww. I always did love your girls. I'm glad that they're all doing great." I said, looking at tonks and remus.
Remus whispered something in Tonk's ear and then he started talking. "Teddy is talking like a genius now. He turned four three days ago, and he's happy about having a little sister. He also learned how to change his different colors, but he's a little sad he can't do anything with his nose yet." He said, looking over at Tonks. Her hair was sky blue today, and she was currently wearing a pig nose for added effect. "Anyway. We finally decided on a name for the baby."
"Really? What?" I was surprised Draco asked this question.
"We are going to name her Terra May Lupin." He said, rubbing his hand across Tonk's now round stomach. She was 6 months pregnant.
"That's such a cute name! Terra. I love it." I said, smiling at a blushing Tonks.
"Um, Hermione, I'm sorry to cut this short, but we really should get the kids home. It's almost nine." Luna said, getting up to go get her kids.
"Oh, it's okay. Just, come by and visit whenever you like." I said, when she and Neville came out of my bedroom with three sleeping babies, and then left.
"Yeah, us too." Charlie said, getting up and hugging me. Charlie and Arianna went back into my room, and a couple minutes later, three little girls walked out looking tired, and Arianna held a sleeping Isabella in her arms. Charlie then grabbed Caleb and Cameron's carseats, and followed Arianna out to their car.
"Well I guess it's time for us to go too. Tonks needs to go to sleep before she knocks out somewhere." Remus said, smiling at his wife. The too said, their goodbyes, and Remus held a sleeping Teddy in his arms as he and Tonks left the house.
"Well, um, this is kind of awkward." Ginny said, smiling at me.
"Ginny!" Harry said.
"What? It's true." Ginny said, going to my room and coming back with a peaceful looking James. "Well, it's time for us to take James home. I call you tomorrow, Hermione." Ginny said, before she and Harry left the house.
"Well, it's just you and me now." Draco whispered in my ear.
"Oh? And what do you suppose we do, dray?" I asked playfully.
"I can show you better than I can tell you." Draco said, crashing his lips down on mine. I was just about to take off his shirt when the worst happened.
"The couch? Really?" Ginny asked, standing in the open door.
"Ginny! What are you doing?" I asked, trying to smooth out my hair.
"I forgot my phone. Hermione, come here for a second." Ginny said, motioning for me to meet her outside.
"I'll be right back." I said, to Draco, before going outside and closing the door behind me. "How my I help you?"
"Hermione, take this." Ginny said, handing me a bag.
"What is it?" I asked, trying to peek inside the bag, but Ginny swatted my hands away.
"No time to explain. Just don't open it until you're in the bathroom by yourself. I have to go. I'll call you tomorrow." Ginny said, patting my cheek and walking to where Harry and James were, before apparating home.
"Okay…..?" I said, going back inside.
"What was that about?" Draco asked.
"Oh, nothing. Why don't you go to the bedroom, and I'm gonna go take a shower. Sound like a plan?" I said.
"Um, yeah, sure. Just don't be long." Draco said, kissing me and then shutting the door to our room.
"Well that was eas-" I said, before I covered my mouth and ran into the bathroom.
"Ugh." I said a few minutes later, after I had finished throwing up. I now held that bag Ginny gave me in my hands.
'Maybe it's pepto bismol or something.' I thought, before opening the package and holding the bag's contents up in the air with a shocked look on my face.
Well, It's not pepto bismol, I thought. I then read the box just to make sure I saw it right. What I held in my hand I would have never thought to buy for myself.
I held in my hand a pregnancy test.
