So I kind of screwed up. I accidentally brought Hermione's dad back to life... oops! Sorry for that. I can't be bothered to re-write the chapters at the moment so for now you will just have to overlook the mistake. Maybe at some point I will change it. sorry. xx
Chapter 27:
Hermione walked into the apartment to a loud clatter as Aurora and Curtis fought in the living room. She sighed as she made her way passed the two twelve year olds, not even bothering to tell them off. She made her way up the stairs to her and Draco's bedroom. As soon as she got inside, she closed the door and leant against it, taking a deep breath.
"Are you alright, love?" Draco drawled from the bed, where he was sat reading a book.
"Uh hu," Hermione nodded. "I… Merlin… their just so loud!"
Draco closed his book, stood up and made his way towards Hermione, chuckling as he went, "well they are our children."
"I suppose… it's a wonder they get on at all," Hermione smirked.
Draco grinned, he loved it when Hermione copied his smirk. It was amazing to see how he had rubbed off on her. He leant in and kissed her, "do you think they will kill themselves if we stay up here a little longer?"
Before Hermione could answer there was a thundering of feet coming up the stairs, "MUM! DAD!"
"What?" Draco called as he opened the door for his children to come in.
"Are we going to the dining hall tonight or are we eating here?" Aurora asked.
Draco looked away from his daughter to look into his fiancé's eyes, "you two can go to the dining hall. Me and your mum are going to stay in."
"But…" Aurora began.
Curtis kicked her before she could finish, "see you later then."
The two kids ran back down the stairs and out the door. Hermione sighed as she heard the silence that was left in her children's wake. Draco leant down and kissed her softly. Hermione pulled away, "we need to talk."
"Talk about what?" Draco asked his brow creasing.
"I… I…" Hermione began.
"What is it love?"
"I'm pregnant," Hermione blurted out.
"Pregnant?" Draco asked, completely shocked. "How?"
Hermione laughed, "do you really need me to tell you?"
Draco grinned, "I guess not. You're really pregnant?"
Hermione nodded. Draco smiled, "wow - I wasn't expecting that. Is that why you've been sick?"
"Yep… Draco, what are we going to do?"
"What do you mean?" Draco asked.
"Well… I can't be pregnant! We're still at school. We have two children who are just going to disappear in a couple of months. We've got N.E.W.T.s and we're getting married in August!"
Draco frowned, "I know but it will be ok."
Hermione sighed, "I'll look fat in my wedding dress." She felt like crying.
"You'll look beautiful," Draco told her before kissing her on the nose.
Hermione grinned, "you have to say that."
Draco kissed her on the forehead, "we're really going to have a baby?"
"Yep," Hermione smiled.
"Are you really unhappy about it?" Draco questioned nervously.
"No… I'm just surprised."
"Are you hungry?" Draco asked.
Hermione nodded.
"How about I get one of the house elves to sort us out a picnic and we eat it in bed?" Draco suggested with a smirk.
Hermione smiled, "Sounds like a plan. I'm exhausted." She began pulling her pyjamas out one of her draws before making her way into the bathroom for a quick shower.
An hour later, Draco and Hermione were cuddled up in bed. Hermione sighed as she realised that she would have to tell her parents, "oh… they're going to kill me!"
"Who love?" Draco asked kissing her on the top of her head.
"My parents!" Hermione squealed.
"Oh… shit! No, they're going to kill me!" Draco frowned.
Hermione laughed, "My dad might actually kill you."
"Thanks princess!" Draco grimaced.
They heard some noise coming from downstairs, "we're home!" Aurora called up the stairs.
Hermione sighed, "there goes our peace and quiet."
"Do we tell them?" Draco asked.
"No, I don't want them to get jealous. We've only got a few months with them."
"You're right love," Draco smiled, "brightest witch of our age and all!"
Hermione giggled. She stopped when she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. There was a knock at the door before Aurora and Curtis ran into the room. "Mum, Dad, why are you in bed?"
"We just decided to go to bed early," Draco said whilst Hermione blushed.
"Can we go out with our friends?"Aurora asked.
Hermione pulled on Draco's wrist so that she could check his watch. "Have you finished your homework?"
Aurora and Curtis both nodded. "You can go out for an hour. Don't even think about leaving the castle."
"Thanks mum," the pair called as they walked out the door and down the stairs.
Draco smiled, "so what are we going to call it?"
"It?" Hermione laughed. "I don't know… I love Aurora and Curtis… I can't imagine them not being here."
"Life will never be the same again," Draco smiled sadly.
"I know," Hermione frowned, "I like Katriona for a girl."
Draco grinned, "that's a pretty name."
"But I also like Hosanna and Ileanna."
"I really like both of those names," Draco laughed, "maybe we should have three beautiful daughters."
"I like the sound of that," Hermione smiled, "what about boy names?"
"I really like Scorpius," Draco told her, a hopeful glint in his eye as he gauged his reaction.
Hermione kissed him softly on the lips, "so our first son is going to be called Scorpius."
"No love, our first son is Curtis."
Hermione nodded, "I also like the names Andrew, Anthony and Malachi."
"How many kids do you want?" Draco joked.
"How about we just wait and see?" Hermione replied.
Draco nodded, "sounds like a plan. So we're calling it Scorpius if it's a boy and which one if it's a girl? Katriona?"
Hermione nodded, "I think so."
"Well that was easy. And to think that a few months ago we'd have never agreed about anything."
They sat in silence for a few minutes before Hermione sighed. "What's up love?" Draco asked.
"I think I might have to let our mothers plan the wedding," Hermione laughed.
"Ah… how about we let the plan the wedding whilst we plan the rest of our lives?" Draco replied happily.
"I like the sound of that," Hermione grinned before placing her head on the pillow, "I think I might get an early night. Will you wait up for them?"
Draco smiled, "Of course, I will love." He dimmed the lights and began reading the book that he had left on his bedside table.
Please, Please, Please review.
