Chapter 18
After a while Draco let go of Hermione "you never did explain how you ended up in my room" he stated as he got up from his bed and walked towards his dressing table "To be completely honest with you, I have no idea how I ended up here. Ginny was ranting at me so I locked myself in the bathroom, and when that didn't hint at her that I wanted to be left alone, I thought of the astronomy tower and disapparented myself there, but somehow I ended up here" she explained to him as he searched through his dressing table "Hmm" Draco hummed as he pulled out his wand from the dressing table "The astronomy tower and my bedroom are two very different things Granger, and disapparenting in your pyjama's? Blue, silky pyjamas. Naughty, naughty" he winked at her and chuckled, Hermione stood up and crossed her arms under her chest causing her pyjama top to bunch around her growing abdomen. Draco noticed that she wasn't wearing her concealment top and he started walking back towards her "you're showing" he stated matter-of-factly "well duh, I am pregnant" she pointed out "I've never seen you without your concealment top on, other than when I lift it when you're sleeping" he admitted "may I?" he gestured toward her stomach "yeah, of course".
Draco gently placed both hands on her rounded belly and started tracing circular motions with his thumbs, his gaze never leaving her stomach while her gaze never left his face. After a few minutes Hermione felt a weird sensation coming from her abdomen, she took in a sharp breath that caught Draco's attention "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly "uh, yeah. Do that again" she ordered him "what?" he asked, confused by her request "The circular motions, do it again" he obliged and continued with the circular motions, when he did the unfamiliar sensation came back stronger, it was almost as if the baby was responding to Draco "Do you feel that?" she asked him, he shook his head and she asked him to continue the motions. When she felt the sensation again, she grabbed Draco's hand and moved it to the lower right side of her abdomen and held his hand there, when he felt a small flutter he looked up at Hermione, wide eyed in astonishment "Is that what I think it is?" he asked Hermione "Yeah" she chuckled. With that Draco let go of her stomach and grasped her face in his hands before smashing his lips against hers in a desperate, yet passionate kiss.
When they finally broke apart from there heated and much needed affections, both were left quite speechless. "Whoa" floated out of Hermione's mouth as she licked her lips and tried to compose herself "That's one way to put it" Draco smirked "You're the reason I'm going to hell" Hermione chuckled. Her statement gave Draco a thought "Do you think the kid brought you here instead of the tower?" Hermione looked at him and then wrapped her hands around her stomach "It's not impossible, the baby has magic too" they both thought for a moment "Disapparent yourself to the tower" Hermione ordered "Excuse me?" Hermione pulled a face "Don't argue with me just do it" Draco huffed but complied with her.
Once Draco had disapparented himself to the tower it was time to test her theory. Hermione thought of her room and disapparented, only to appear in the astronomy tower with Draco "And the point in that was?" he questioned her "I thought of my room and ended up here" she paused looking at his confused face "with you" Hermione watched as Draco realised what she was getting at "For the love of Merlin, he wanted his dad so he followed me" a goofy grin spread across Draco's face "Wait a minute, he? You do realise that it could be a she right?" Draco rolled his eyes "It doesn't matter, we have a smart and apparently powerful jellybean" Hermione chuckled at Draco's use of their babies nickname and to Draco's surprise Hermione walked over to him and embraced him "powerful indeed" she agreed.
"I hate to break this up" Ginny interrupted from the tower door "But I'm still not finished with you Mione and what in god's name are you doing up here in your pyjama's?" Hermione groaned and planted her face into Draco's chest, he too was growing tired of her constant interference "hold on" he whispered into Hermione's ear "Sorry Weaslette, but you're boring the fuck out of me and I have certain matters to attend to" he paused looking down at Hermione and grinning before continuing "If you know what I mean" with that he winked at Ginny and disapparented both himself and Hermione out of the room leaving Ginny alone. "Dick" Ginny muttered to herself before leaving the tower.
