Hermione woke leisurely the next morning, stretching herself out with a content smile. That smile only grew as her eyes opened to find her husband looking down at her � more specifically, looking down at her stomach, where only the slightest softening of flesh was a sign of what lay behind her skin.
�I love you.� She murmured softly, unable to keep from giggling as he jumped and glanced over to stare at her in shock. �...yes, I'm awake, dear.�
�Did I wake you?� The question was immediate, as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead, right in the center. She was careful to ignore the strange feeling it caused, merely shaking her head as he leaned away, his eyes never moving away from her. �That's good...you need your rest...�
�Though that is true...� She began, crawling out of bed in all her naked glory to stretch again, �I will not be confined to bed. Don't even think it again � and I know you were. Prat.�
�I just don't want anything to happen to you...� He murmured, standing as well to wrap his arms around her and rest his chin on her head. �...I've heard the first few months, anything could cause you to lose the babies...stress, lack of sleep, not eating enough-�
�Draco...� She couldn't help but chuckle, shaking her head. �...maybe that's true for the world you grew up in, but I think that has a lot to do with the inbreeding � no offense.�
�I...wait, what?� He looked confused, following her into the bathroom as she started a bath, before sitting down on the edge of the tub, a brow arched as she looked up at him. �Inbreeding?�
�Darling, most every pureblood is related. Muggles have learned a great deal about the human existance, for instance why we are what we are. Genetics.� She paused a moment, smiling proudly as he nodded � he had heard of genetics before, then. �Because Pureblood families are so eager to keep their bloodlines pure, they end up marrying relatives. Eventually, natural selection is going to step in and start culling the herd, as it were.�
�...thereby making it incredibly difficult for a child to be born of a Pureblood union.� Draco said, staring off into space in a mixture of shock, horror, and understanding. She realized he really had been reading up on the muggle world, to have understood the way he did, and felt a surge of pride towards him as she turned off the tap and slid into the water.
�Are you okay?�
�...That means it can cause horrible defects in the ones that make it to birth, right?� He said suddenly, joining her in the tub as he spoke. �...like, a child who can't survive because they can't breathe properly?�
�I would think so, yes.� Hermione frowned, glancing over to him as she finished rinsing her hair. �You're being awfully specific.�
She stopped suddenly, staring at him in a mixture of sympathy and horror, and he nodded to confirm her suspicion. �...Mother gave birth when I was ten. A girl. She had to be put in a magical bubble of sorts that contained only pure oxygen to survive.�
�What...what happened to her?� Hermione whispered, moving to grasp his hand, relaxing completely as he pulled him against her and wrapped his arms tight around her.
�...after a few days, even that wasn't enough. Her lungs just stopped working. The moment it happened, my mother panicked, and started screaming. ...she couldn't stand to see it. The family Healer told us it might happen � she would either improve, stay the same, or deteroirate, and there was nothing that anyone could do about it. ...my mother knew, and when Father and I ran into the room, it was to see the last of a green flash, before my mother broke.�
�Oh gods...� Hermione's arms wrapped around his waist, tightening as she closed her eyes. �...your mother is so strong...�
�What?� He seemed startled at her words, staring down at her and watching as tears started to flow. �I thought you would be disgusted.�
�That she refused to let her child suffer?� Hermione shook her head, clinging to him still more tightly as the tears came faster. �No. Never. ...that's why she's so happy, isn't it? Knowing there will be less chance of defects?�
�She believes what the Ministry said about the reasons behind the law.� He murmured, watching as she pulled away and continued bathing � he did the same after a few moments. �...so it's true, then?�
�There is always a chance.� Hermione told him, getting out to dry off and wrap herself in a towel. �But it's not as likely.�
�You'll still be careful, then, right?� He sounded so worried, even muffled as he was as he dried his hair, bent over with the towel over his head, that she couldn't help but smile.
�Of course.�
�No undue stress?�
�Not if I can avoid it.� She promised, heading into the bedroom to dress for the day.
