Draco stared at the papers for what seemed like the longest time. He wasn't staring at them because he didn't know if he should sign or not. He just wanted to know why Hermione was trying to keep Rose away from him now that he knew about her. He had already made his decision that there was no way in hell he would sign the stupid papers.

Once, he deemed them not worthy to sit on his desk any longer he ripped them up and threw the pieces in an envelope. He summoned his eagle owl to give the envelope to Hermione.

There was a knock on the door and his father stepped in without waiting for a reply. Draco was in no mood to talk to his father, nor anyone else. The last few days had shaken him up quite a bit and he stared at his computer trying to get his father to leave the room.

"Draco, I want you to know that I will support you no matter what you decide. (Obviously, his parents were spying on him somehow. He never told them about the papers.) Also, I suppose our deal still stands. You don't have to marry Astoria if you decide you want to be Rose's father since; you have given us a Malfoy heir, even though she isn't a Pureblood. Your mother supports your decision, too, even though she told me that would be making the biggest mistake of your life if you decided you wanted to give up your rights to Rose."

Draco didn't answer but, he nodded. Lucius left the room to give his son some much needed time to think. Draco was glad that his father understood he needed some time alone but, he only wanted to be away from his parents. He wished he could be with his daughter, if only for a few minutes. He thought of her every second of every minute since, he brought her back to the hospital to see her mother the previous day. Why was the world so cruel to him? He did nothing to deserve what Hermione had kept from him those past four years. He imagined what could have been; the three of them together at the Manor, Rose giggling and smiling as he taught her how to ride a broomstick. Tucking her in at night and reading her a bedtime story while Hermione watched and smiled. The three of them holding hands as they went on vacation for the first time together on the beach. He never even got to hold her right after she was born. He thought about what her first words were and when she had taken her first steps; the first time she smiled and the first time she threw her first temper tantrum. All the things a first time parent should remember forever he had never seen before. He didn't know what her favorite color was or what she liked to eat. The only way he found out when her birthday was by rereading that Daily Prophet article on her. Unfortunately he had missed it. He didn't know what she would want or what she was interested in, anyways. He only knew she liked sparkly expensive things which could work out to his advantage. Hermione was one of those dull cheap kinds of people who probably never gave anything worth getting someone.

Draco suddenly had an idea. One of his best friends, Blaise Zabini, worked as an Auror in Hermione's office. He flooed the office and waited patiently until Blaise came to answer the fireplace.

"Draco, long time, no see my friend," Blaise said and chuckled. He looked the same as ever. He had perfectly tan skin and twinkling dark brown eyes. His black hair was shaggy and quite a bit longer than it was in Hogwarts. His bangs fell over one of his eyes and, he slowly pushed them to the side. "Sorry it took so long for me to answer. The boss doesn't like us answering personal floos but, I figured you needed something important since, you didn't floo the department first."

"Yeah, I need you to do a huge favor for me. I need you to go through Hermione Weasley's files and give me the times she is at work and her address. It's important." Draco said.

"Normally, I would say no because, it could endanger my job but, I suppose I could pull a few strings for you. Why would you possibly need Hermione's address though?" Blaise responded.

"It's- It's just important, she has to tell me a few things and I need to tell her some things as well," Draco said and raked his pale hand through his whitish blonde hair.

"Ok, well whatever," Blaise opened a drawer that contained files for all the staff in their department. He went to the W's and pulled out Weasley, Hermione's folder. "Here ya go mate," Blaise said and pointed to her address. "Oh and just so you know she took the next few weeks off of work, something happened to her daughter I guess."

Draco's fists clenched and Blaise looked at him curiously. "Thanks a bunch Blaise," Draco said and went back to the Manor so, Blaise would not have to ask him any uncomfortable questions.

"Mother!" Draco called down the hallway as he ran down the white marble stairs. "Mother, I'm going to Diagon Alley to buy a few things. Do you want to come?!"

Narcissa Malfoy enthusiastically joined him, not wanting to pass up a good shopping trip and spending some quality time with her son.

"Well let's go then," Draco whined. Even after all those years he was still a stubborn baby who could never be content waiting a few minutes to get what he wanted. He wanted to go right then and there. Narcissa just nodded and they both Apparated at some time.

O.o.O

Hermione had been home from the hospital for a day and a half and, finally got Rose out of her dress and into her night gown. Rose would not take the dumb dress off. Hermione couldn't understand why. There wasn't anything extremely special about it. Yes it was pretty but, Rose never threw a fit over wearing a dress. She had asked Rose multiple times why she wouldn't take off the dress. She never gave her a straight answer though. Eventually, Hermione had to bribe her daughter that she would make chocolate chip pancakes in the morning if she would put on her pajamas. At once Rose agreed. Hermione helped her untie the bow in the bag and put on her pink night gown.

Rose demanded that they should watch Sleeping Beauty before she went to bed. Hermione put the disc in the DVD player and put some popcorn in the microwave. She liked making popcorn the Muggle way, she thought it tasted better. She put some in a little bowl for Rose and put the rest in a bowl for herself. The second she sat on the couch there was the knocking sound of an owl's beak on the window. Hermione sighed and got off the couch. She walked over to the window and opened in slowly. The second it was up all the way the owl threw the letter into the house and sped away. Hermione didn't even get a chance to see the owl properly.

Hermione went back to the couch and looked at the clock. It was only 7:30, so much for Rose falling asleep half way through the movie. She absentmindedly opened the envelope seal and shook it upside down so the letter would fall in her hand. She wasn't expecting ripped pieces of paper to scatter all over her lap and onto the floor. Reparo she muttered quietly so Rose would not see her use magic. The pieces started piecing themselves back together. Once it was put back together, she picked the papers off the floor. Hermione gasped. It was the documents for Draco to sign over his rights to Rose.

Not only had they been ripped up, they also weren't signed.

O.o.O

Draco arrived at Hermione's door step at approximately 10:00 p.m. (give or take a few minutes). Instead of Apparating or flooing he decided to use the door bell.

Hermione heard the bell ring right as she was putting Rose to bed. "I'll just be a minute, baby," Hermione said and walked out of her bedroom door. Unfortunately, Hermione's effort was wasted because, Rose decided to tag along with her to see who was at the door.

When Hermione opened the door she was going to close it again but Rose yelled "Draco!" and ran outside. "Rose get in the house this instant!" Hermione yelled at her daughter.

Rose stepped into the house closely followed by Draco. Draco stayed close to Rose so, Hermione wouldn't have the opportunity to slam the door in his face or push him out of the house. He put the bags, which were in his hands, on the floor.

"Get out Malfoy," Hermione said as soon as she turned around.

"Look, Hermione-" Draco said but was cut off by her.

"Don't you Hermione me. I said get out!" She had no intention with dealing with him so soon. The day had been traumatic enough without adding him.

"Not until we talk," Draco said firmly. He was not going to put of the conversation about Rose any longer. "You owe me an explanation, at the least. How long did you know she was mine?" he said calmly.

"The second I saw her open her eyes for the first time…" Hermione mumbled.

"Why did you wait four years to tell me then?!" Draco shouted.

"I… I wanted to but, you would have never accepted her. And Ron-"

"Has almost gotten her killed, Hermione!" Draco finished for her.

Hermione remained silent, willing herself not to cry. She couldn't succumb to Draco's accusations, even if they were 100% true.

"Do you know how much I've missed already in Rose's life? I never got to see her being born, I never got to hold her as a baby, I never got to feed or change her, I don't know when she first learned to crawl and walk. I have never heard her first words, I haven't gotten to see her blow out her candles at her birthday parties, I haven't read her a bedtime story or given her a bath. I don't know what her favorite color, food, movie, book, or activity is. I don't know if she is a morning or a night person, and I sure as hell don't know why she has been abused," Draco vented.

Tears spilled down Hermione's cheeks. Rose sat on the floor trying to peak into the bags Draco had brought, oblivious to everything else.

"You can open them, Rose. They are all for you," Draco said ignoring Hermione. If anyone should be crying it should have been him.

Rose squealed in delight and opened the first one in front of her. She pulled out a long sapphire colored broomstick. It was the Lightning Strike Firebolt III that wasn't supposed to come out for another couple of years in Britain.

"Mummy, I've got my own broomstick!" Rose said as Hermione stared in horror at such a costly gift. Rose went opened a few more bags that were all filled with clothes and their matching shoes and accessories. Each tag said 100% real gems and the material was either silk, cashmere, or Egyptian cotton. Hermione looked as if she was about to faint.

Another bag held a real gold bird cage with a baby snowy owl in it. Rose fell in love with her at once and named her Blizzard. By this time there were still a few more bags and Hermione was extremely dizzy. The next bag was small and only had a little box in it. Rose opened the box and she saw a lovely pair of diamond earrings shaped like roses in it. She put them in her ears at once.

A few bags later she had a laptop, an iPhone 5, more clothes, more jewelry than she could count, her own unicorn (that was kept in a special forest where tame unicorns were kept), a few horses (that were in the Malfoy Manor stables), a few riding outfits, a bunch of stuffed animals and dolls, and a check that was signed by Draco Malfoy but didn't have an amount on it.

Draco gave Rose a pen. "Write any number on the line here," Draco said and pointed to the place where he should have written the cash amount,"

Rose took the pen and started writing numbers on the line he told her too. When she was finished she handed the pen back to Draco and showed him the check. She had written $ 7,829,902,982.

Draco looked at the number "That's it? Only a bit less than 8 billion Galleons? Too, bad there isn't enough room to add any more numbers," Draco said and frowned.

"Draco Malfoy you are not giving Rose that much money! I also want you to take back all this stuff!" Hermione yelled. She had no way of ever paying him back and she couldn't stand the way he could throw away money for no reason.

"I'm not going to take anything back," Draco said and smirked.

"Rose, please go to bed honey, I have to speak with Mr. Malfoy alone," Hermione said. Rose trudged up the stairs but, stopped and sat on the top step to see what Draco Mouthboy and her Mummy were going to talk about.

"Take all of this back and sign the papers!" Hermione shouted at Draco. She held up the documents that he sent back to her.

"I'm not going to take anything back, Hermione! I've missed all her birthdays, Christmases, Easters, everything! And there is no way in hell you are going to get me to sign away my rights to my daughter!" Draco screamed back at her.

"You have no rights to her already! Why can't you just make it official?!" Hermione started to cry.

"That's for a judge to decide, not you!" Draco yelled challenging Hermione.

"You wouldn't dare to take me to court!"

"Would I Granger?" Draco said calmly and smirked at her.

"Stupefy!" Hermione shouted at Draco. He dodged the spell before it hit him. She kept firing spells and curses at him. He put up a shield and, it deflected the spells easily.

"Hermione stop! No spell will stop me from being Rose's biological father!" Draco yelled at Hermione who had a crazed look in her eyes.

O.o.O

Rose cried silently the second they started yelling at each other and her Mummy had started crying. They were fighting about her, she could tell. Then, her Mummy had started using magic to hurt Draco and she cried harder. They still didn't hear her though. Draco told her Mummy to stop because he was her father. That was strange. Didn't father mean Daddy? Draco wasn't her Daddy even though she liked him better than Ron.

Rose saw her mother punch Draco in the nose. Blood flew onto the floor. She started screaming and ran down the stairs to help him.

O.o.O

"Draco! Oh Merlin, I'm so sorry!" Hermione screamed. He muttered a healing spell and his nose healed. Rose was clutching onto his leg still crying. Hermione felt terrible.

"This isn't the end of me yet, Hermione!" Draco said giving Rose a quick hug before Apparating back to Malfoy Manor.
