Taking Chances
Draco/Hermione
Chapter Three – Forget Me Not
Hermione shut the door to her room and sat down on her bed. She opened the letter pulling off the envelope which was a Malfoy personal envelope. She threw the envelope on the bed and opened the letter and read.
Dear Hermione,
I know I'm the last person you want to hear from but I know you know why I am contacting you.
I saw you today and I know you saw me to. I saw your stomach as well; you're pregnant. Hermione is it mine? I know you don't want to talk to me but I think I have the right to know if you are carrying my child.
I don't want to hurt you, I just need to know. I'll support you and if that is my child I'll be there for he or she.
Please Hermione.
Draco.
Hermione dropped the letter beside her and laid back on her bed staring up at the ceiling. Her hand came to her rounded stomach and she sighed. Of course it was Draco's baby; he was the only man she had ever been with.
She sat up and went to her desk and starting writing to Draco. Once she had finished the letter she called pig who was normally flying around the Burrow and gave him the letter, the owl looked angry at having to go such a long way but Hermione shooed him off and watched as he flew.
Pig being quite an old owl reached Malfoy Manor around three o'clock in the morning. He sat at Draco's window and knocked until the blonde got out of bed and angrily opened the window swearing that it better be important and when he saw it was from Hermione, he smiled.
He shut his window and then went and sat back in bed and opened the letter.
Draco,
Meet me tomorrow in our place. If you don't turn up I will take it as you do not want to know about our baby or be part of its life.
Hermione.
The next day, Hermione got Ron to apperate her to Kensington Gardens and she then made her way down to their secret place. Hermione walked down the path to the bench where they normally met and saw her ex lover sat patiently waiting.
Draco was sat on the bench dressed in a pair of muggle jeans and a polo top. It was late July and the weather was quite hot which made Hermione thankful she wasn't further along in her pregnancy; she had read women who were heavily pregnant in the summer struggled.
Draco looked up as he saw Hermione walking towards him. He noticed she was wearing dark blue jeans with a white camisole floaty top which disguised her pregnant stomach. She wore a navy blue cardigan to cover her arms from the slight wind.
As Hermione reached the bench, Draco stood up.
'Hi.' He said as he looked at her.
'I didn't think you'd come.' She replied as she sat down softly on the bench.
'Of course I'd come.' Draco said as he sat next to her but leaving a gap between them. 'You're carrying my child.'
Hermione simply nodded and looked down at her hands.
'How far are you along?' Draco asked.
'I'm 16 weeks, four months.' She replied.
'You're sure it's mine?' He asked as he looked at her and then at her stomach.
'Of course it is!' Hermione said as she looked straight at him. 'You are the only person I have ever slept with Draco.'
'Sorry, I just needed to be sure.' He said as he looked at Hermione. 'I trust you; I know you wouldn't lie to me.'
'It's more than I can say for the way I look at you.' Hermione said as she bit back at him.
'You have every right to feel the way you do about me.' Draco said as he looked at Hermione. 'I know what I did was wrong Hermione, don't you think I know what I did was stupid and unforgiveable. I wish I could go back and change it but I can't.'
'You made your choice Draco, money is obviously more important to you than me.' She said as she moved further away from him down the bench.
'No it's not. My Father gave me the ultimatum of you or family which of course included the money but I didn't know what to do. I was stupid I know that but...' He began.
'But what? Don't pretend you left because of anything else Draco. You left because you couldn't give up the money, you couldn't make it on your own without it so you chose to end things with me.' She said as she stood up. 'I loved you and you said you loved me too but obviously not as much as I thought.'
'Hermione, I was put in the corner.' He said as he followed after her. 'I love you.'
Hermione spun around and looked at him with tears running down her face. 'You love me but you did that to me.' She said quietly as she looked to the floor.
'I know I did and I'm sorry.' Draco said as he walked towards her. 'I told my father I'd rather be disowned than leave you.'
'Then why did you leave?' She asked as she looked up at him.
'Let's sit down so I can explain this.' He said as he reached for her hand and pulled Hermione back to the bench.
'Explain what?' Hermione said.
Draco took hold of Hermione's hand and sighed. 'I didn't want you to know this. My father a week before we split up received news of our relationship. He was sent pictures of us together and of us kissing; as well as receiving that he receive a death threat against me and you.'
'If this is an excuse Draco...' Hermione said.
'Look.' He said as he took out the note from his jean pocket and handed it to Hermione.
Get rid of the Mudblood or I will
'Your father could have written this.' Hermione said as her hand began to shake.
'He could have but I don't think he did.' Draco said. 'Yes he was happy about us being together but he would have never done that. I know what you're thinking Hermione. He's was a death eater but he would never, not know.'
'I don't understand then.' She replied. 'Why would someone not want us to be together?'
'I don't know Hermione but you have to understand I didn't want to split up with you, I had to do it.' He said.
'And now what? I'm having your baby and if that person knows that it put both me and the baby in harm.' She said scared.
'Nothing is going to happen.' Draco said as he looked at Hermione. 'For the next few days, we are only going to be able to correspond through letter. My parents are in Milan and I am going to send a letter to them this evening explaining everything, they need to know about the baby.'
'They're not going to harm you or the baby.' Draco said as he grabbed Hermione's hands. 'We will sort something out I promise.'
Hermione only nodded her head and looked at Draco. 'I have this for you.' She said as she opened her small handbag and pulled out a scan photo for Draco. 'That's your baby.'
Draco took the photo and stared at it in amazement.
'That was at my 12 week scan.' She said as she smiled. 'You can keep that one I have a few copies.'
'Thank you' He said as he smiled at her. 'Is everything alright? How are you feeling?'
'I'm good. Tired a lot but they said that is normal and the baby is fine growing well as you can see.' She said as he put her hand on her stomach. 'I have a scan in about four weeks if you wanted to come?'
'Of course I'll come.' Draco said as he smiled.
'We can find out the gender at the 20 week scan if we wanted.' She said as she looked at her former lover.
'Do you want to?' Draco asked.
'I'm not sure yet.' She replied. 'Would you like to know?'
'I already know it's a boy Hermione, remember every first born Malfoy is a boy; it's tradition.' He replied smirking.
'Traditions sometimes break.' She replied.
'So you think it's a girl?' He asked.
'I'm not sure. I don't really know at the moment.' Hermione said. 'Some say they know from the minute they found out they were pregnant what gender their baby was but I don't.'
'Well if you want to find out then I'll be happy to.' Draco said as he smiled.
'Well we have time to decide.' Hermione said as she replied to him. 'Draco, what do you want? I mean with the baby with us?'
'I want to be there for my son...or daughter.' He said as he looked at Hermione. 'I would like us to be a family but I understand if you don't want to be. I love you Hermione, I still do but I understand I hurt you.'
'I would like us to be a family but I need time.' She replied.
'I understand that.' He said softly. 'I am sorry I hurt you Hermione, I really want you to know that.'
'I do now.' She said as she held onto his hand.
