Cho urged Hermione to push while Draco held her hand sitting beside her bed. He was a wreck. He had not imagined that childbirth would be such a messy business. He sat beside her feeling guilty that he was putting her through this for his babies. However Hermione seemed calm. As if she knew what to do. Cho too seemed to know everything. These two powerful witches made him feel like a lost school boy in this situation. She did scream occasionally and wrung his hand which made him scream too. Slowly the birthing process started. After an arduous effort out came Arach Draco Malfoy with his blond hair and somewhat light eyes. His cries startled both his parents who cuddled him soon after he was cleaned. Tears rang down their cheeks as they welcomed their first born into the world. Draco stared at his son. My son! He shouted inside his head. He still could not believe that he was a father now to this beautiful baby boy. He kissed him again and again till he heard Hermione groan and knew he had to help her birth their second child. He gave his son to Cho while he went back to holding Hermione's hand as she began to push their second child. Soon arrived Orion Abraxas Malfoy who remained quiet and smiled at his puzzled parents who kept expecting him to cry. Cho raised an eyebrow at him but said nothing as he opened and closed his eyes sleepily. Draco held his second son softly and kissed him as well. Hermione smiled at him as he proudly spoke his name. Then came the first girl child in Malfoy family since a century. Lyra Narcissa Malfoy came into the world kicking and crying but full of energy. Her father held her looking at her in wonder. She had blond hair but light brown eyes that kept her father captivated for minutes till her mother called him to give her their daughter. Hermione, all sweaty and tired from her efforts saw all her three children together in a cute crib that was designed for the three babies. She smiled and then slipped down to sleep while Cho and the other midwives helped cleanup the bed and the room.
Draco did not pay attention to that. He was too busy admiring his babies. They were so small. He had to make sure that they were all safe. He felt the weight of the huge responsibility fallen on his shoulders as he saw his three helpless babies depending on him to survive in this world. He knew he had a huge task ahead but when he saw the three of them, he knew he would never tire of looking after them. They were his flesh and blood and he had waited a long time to have them in his life. He gave a sigh full of content as he realised that he had become a father at last! It was only when Cho urged him to go meet the people waiting outside that he reluctantly moved from his now sleeping children.
Outside the room Ginny and Harry were waiting impatiently to know about the babies and Hermione. Draco gave them the biggest smile they had ever seen come from him. He told them that Hermione was well and sleeping while the children too were all healthy and sleeping. Ginny asked him if she could see them and Cho who had walked out of the room asked them to be quiet and only look at them as they were all resting especially Hermione. Molly and Arthur congratulated him and he thanked them. Ron and his brothers were yet to come though they all had been informed. Draco saw the four of them going inside and remembered that his mother had gone to talk to his father and never returned. He immediately went to the library room.
As he opened the door he saw Narcissa and Lucius holding hands and praying. He smiled at them and spoke, “Mother, father, you need to come out and see your grandchildren. All three of them. Hermione is well. She is sleeping but you can see my children.” He spoke with obvious pride. Narcissa looked at him wide-eyed and ran to hug him tightly. She kissed him on his cheek and congratulated him. Lucius stood from his seat and walked with the cane all serious though his eyes were wet and he was trying very hard to compose himself. Draco did not care for his restraint and hugged his father congratulating him on becoming a grandfather. A startled Lucius hugged his son back because he was now a grandfather thanks to his son. He wanted to be one for a long time and he was very jealous of his peers who paraded their grandchildren in front of him mocking him. He had endured a lot but now he was on top again. He had three grandchildren all at once and he could not wait to show them to the world. He did not care if they were half blood. They were his flesh and blood. He hugged his son back patting his back at the same time. They all went to the room where Hermione and the babies were. The Weaselys had arrived and there was a lot of murmuring being heard. They were trying to be quiet but failing miserably.
When Draco and his parents arrived everyone fell silent. Lucius moved to check Hermione first who was still in deep sleep. He touched her head and then moved towards the babies. He tried to see them but could not because his eyes had tears as he saw the three bundled up babies in the huge crib. They were squirming and moving slowly. He wiped his eyes to get a good look and them smiled as he saw them have the classic Malfoy blond hair. He hoped that they had his eyes as well. Narcissa kissed Hermione’s forehead and asked Cho if she was given any potion? Cho replied that she had blood replenishing potion and sleep draught to help her cope with the stress she went through. They all walked out of the room when Cho said that the babies were getting uncomfortable.
Outside in the drawing room the elfs had brought elf wine and firewhisky to celebrate their joyous occasion. Lucius seemed to have grown taller by the second. With three grandchildren he felt as if he had accomplished something too. The Weaselys congratulated all the Malfoys. They sat talking for about an hour or so, drinking and eating till Cho came for Draco and told him that Hermione was awake. Draco jumped from his seat and ran towards the room while everyone laughed good heartedly at his eagerness.
Draco walked into the room only to see Hermione smile as she was feeding their first born. Draco drank in the sight for a moment before he thought he was staring and looked towards his other babies. Seeing them sleep he walked up to Hermione and sat by her side. He kissed her passionately on her lips as she kissed him back. They grinned at each other happily. She sighed as her son sucked at her breast robustly. Draco raised his eyebrow and then spoke, “He seems hungry. How are you feeling now?”
Hermione laughed and replied, “Babies tend to get hungry every two hours once they are born. And as for me, I was feeling exhausted but the potion helped me a lot. I feel refreshed after my nap. Did you meet your daughter properly?”
Draco shook his head, "She was sleeping soon afterwards. I did not want to disturb her. I will have plenty of time afterwards.” Hermione nodded. Soon the other two began to cry and so Hermione had to hand over Arach to Draco while she simultaneously fed her two children. Cho helped her do that. Draco sat beside her and watched his children feed and sleep. He had never felt so happy. Hermione leaned on him as he leaned on her. This was the beginning of their new family.
THREE YEARS AFTER.
It was their birthday. All three of them had completed three years and Draco could not believe that he had survived those years intact. He looked outside to see Lucius flying with Lyra. She was squealing out loud, enjoying her ride while there was a big grin plastered on his father’s face. Lyra had completely changed Lucius. He was more tolerant and more expressive than he had been in his whole life. Draco thought that maybe losing his children before being born had made his father hold his feelings back. However Lyra had Draco and him wrapped around her little finger. They gave her everything that she asked for. Hermione was exasperated by their attitude and had given up scolding them. She simply told them that one day she was going to bring a wizard not of their choice and that they would have to approve of him no matter what. Draco sniffed, “As if I would allow anyone near her!” Hermione and laughed at that time. Both Arach and Orion where exactly like him, too mischievous and manipulative. They had their grandmother in their grip. She hid them when they did something bad and even lied for them. Hermione of course knew who did what thanks to the elfs who told her everything that went about inside their house.
Their house had to be extended by a few rooms because his parents were staying with them. They had promised to be with them for the first three years but Draco did not see them moving away. Once when the kids were two years old, Narcissa had insisted that they have some alone family time and took Lucius with her to spend the night at Malfoy manor. Draco had a good time playing with his children and talking to his wife. Though he was not surprised to see his parents back inside their bedroom in his house by midnight. Narcissa told him that she could not sleep with all that quiet around them. And she also told him that she might have stayed there if Lucius had not forced her to come back as he found the huge Manor too silent and creepy. They were now used to hearing shouts, cries and footsteps at all times during day and night. It was then that Hermione and Draco decided to expand their house a bit more.
Rose had gone to college in Egypt and had finished her studies in ancient runes. She was now working full time at Malfoy Inc and taking care of the books in the Malfoy library, translating the ancient runes in them. She made some startling discoveries which she shared with Hermione. Both mother and daughter often spent their afternoons reading the scripts and decoding them. Draco was now back in charge of the Malfoy Inc. Lucius spent all of his time with his grand children. Narcissa too took care of them and of any parties that the Malfoys had to throw. Hugo was coming back this year after completing his higher education in potions. He wanted to join Malfoy Inc too. Ron had no objections. He had a standing date with his son for all world cup matches now that he was a star reporter of the Daily Prophet. He wrote articles and often predicted the winner of the game. He had his own sports store which was now running successfully.
The party was about to start at eleven in the morning. They wanted the party to go on all day. Like always they had invited only friends and families. Cho had come. Blaise and Pansy showed up with their son Marc. Rose and Hugo arrived as well. Ron and the rest of his family arrived using floo one by one. The house was filling up nicely as Harry and Ginny arrived on their brooms. Album, James and Lily too came through floo. They all gathered around in the drawing room which had been expanded as well.
Lucius brought down his broomstick on the ground and Lyra got off. She ran towards Draco who was watching them in his fine robes. She ran and hugged him as he lowered himself for her embrace, “Dwaddy, dwaddy, I flied! I flied!” Draco laughed at her incorrect grammar and congratulated her. Hermione laughed at her words and came forward to kiss her daughter. Draco hugged her too, they stared at each other, their eyes showing just how much their love had grown through these years. They still could not stay away from each other and often had their nights of passion in their flat when his parents watched their children. Though they always came home in the middle of the night unable to stay away from their children for too long as well.
Ron smiled at Draco and spoke, “Enjoy it while you can mate, cause soon she will be giving her attention to other boys and then daddy will not be so precious anymore.”
Hermione rolled her eyes and chided Ron, “Oh please Ron, get real, Rose is now almost twenty. Of course she will have a boyfriend and she will want to get married. You are just mad because he is a Slytherine. Marc is a good boy. I approve of him and so should you.”
Ron huffed, “ Easy for you to say. You are married to one. Now I will have to wait for her to take time out to come meet me. This is so unfair.” Hermione rolled her eyes and left for the kitchen where Narcissa was taking care of the food. Ginny and Molly along with Fleur and Angelina were helping her. Ron sat down on the couch while Draco put down his daughter after kissing her head. She had blond ringlets around her face and was dressed in a purple frock. He sat beside Ron and replied, “ If it’s any consolation, I know what you mean and agree with you. Rose will give him first preference. That just boils my blood too. Till now we did not have any need to see if she was free or not but after she gets married we will have to see of she has time for us! How rude!” “My point exactly!” agreed Ron. Draco had grown close to both Hugo and Rose. They had spent vacations together and they treated him very much like family. He did not like that Rose would be getting separated from them so soon. Hermione had spoken about this and told him that as an independent girl she would want Rose to make her own decisions.
The lunch was a noisy affair with everyone having their own conversations at the same table. The three children had been sent to their rooms to sleep. They usually had an hour of their afternoon nap daily. Suddenly the entire table went silent as Hermione looked up and squealed in delight to welcome her guests inside. Draco froze as he saw Astoria and then Adrian walk in with a little toddler in his arms. He sat speechless until a jab from Harry woke him up and he rose to welcome them as well. They greeted everyone at the table and refused lunch as they had it already. Hermione, sensing the awkwardness, invited them to sit in the library while she arranged some wine for them. Draco showed them the way while Hermione took a bottle and two glasses from the table and followed them. Harry nodded at her as he knew they were coming.
“Well this is a surprise!” said Draco and Hermione continued, “And a pleasant one too! Thank you for coming to the party.” Draco looked at her stunned. “I wanted to give you a surprise. We, Astoria and I started writing letters about an year ago when she was pregnant. She wanted to let me know who sorry she was and that she now understood what it must have felt like for me to almost lose my babies then. She is genuinely sorry Draco. She still wants your forgiveness. She begged me to tell you how sorry she was but I knew that letters would not be the same as saying it face to face. So I invited them over for the birthday party. Please talk to her or at least listen to her. That’s all I am asking for.” Hermione kissed his cheek and withdrew taking Adrian and his son with her.
There was complete silence in the room as both Draco and Astoria struggled with their feelings. “Thank you for not hexing me. I know you might not want to talk to me but I need to do this Draco and I need your help. Cho said that if I wanted to move on then I need to say my apologies to everyone who deserves it. I spoke with your parents through floo. They have been kind enough to forgive me especially because Hermione supports me. I...I was misguided Draco and you have every right to throw me out but please...please forgive me. Say those words and I will be at peace forever.”
Her eyes were filled with tears and Draco could feel her sincerity in them. He looked at the frail woman who stood in front of him and he marvelled as to how had he spent twenty years with her without knowing the real person. He realized that it was his fault as well. He shook his head and knew that they had to close the door on their past and move on because he was too happy now to think about his past.
“I forgive you Astoria and I say this will all my heart. I am happy that you know what it means to be a parent and how important children are to us. I wish you all the happiness in life. You are lucky you found love again. I am glad it is Adrian because he is a good man. Maybe if time permits we can be friends again.” Draco gave her his famous smirk and extended his hand. Astoria smiled at him and took his hand giving it a good shake. They laughed and realized that the past was gone and out of their lives. They were in the present now and were happy being there. They all got their families with them and were content to be with them. They had no sorrows and no pain to share. They all had only happiness.
They both came out of the library only to see everyone standing around waiting for them with glasses in their hands. They looked relieved to see their smiling faces. Astoria went to Adrian who smiled and embraced her with their son in his arms while Draco went to Hermione who looked positively glowing. They all took their drinks in their hands and raised them to toast to ‘Love and Family forever.’
