"Oh," Draco whispered, feeling his heart swell with joy. His eyes were glued on the image as the Healer kept talking.
"That's the baby's heartbeat right there," she went on. "As you can see and hear it."
"Draco," Hermione cried, wiping tears from her eyes. She clutched his arm and smiled grandly. "Can you hear it? The life inside of me?"
Draco nodded, his throat filled with his heart. "Y-Yeah." He heard the fast thumping of the their child. "That's our baby."
"Our baby," she repeated, reaching for his hand.
Draco squeezed her hand back.

Their baby.
