1st November 1998

Hermione and Draco were walking through the cold castle corridors on their way to the hospital wing after breakfast this particular morning.

Most of the girls were going for their monthly pregnancy tests and Hermione was going for her first official check-up, although she already knew how far along she was after the un-planned trip to Madam Pomfrey Draco had all but dragged her to two weeks before.

When they reached the hospital doors, Hermione saw three unmistakable heads of red hair. She had expected to see Ron and Ginny but George was a very welcomed sight.

It was unbelievable that he had been living within the grounds of Hogwarts for nearly two months and she hadn't seen him since his wedding.

Hermione went straight over and gave him a hug "What are you doing here? Who's opening the shop?" Hermione stepped out of the hug, just keeping an arm around George to see him grinning. It was the first time that Hermione thought he looked like his old self since losing Fred.

"There was no way I was going to miss any check-ups now that my wife is pregnant Granger, I just wish I had been here when she had her test" George looked ecstatic at the thought of being a father. "Anyway Verity is opening the shop, I'm training her up so that she can take on more responsibility when the baby is born"

Draco came over; he was not very impressed with how close his wife was standing to the tall redhead. He took Hermione's hand and with a not so subtle gesture, pulled her away "speaking of which, where is your wife Weasel"

"Draco, I've asked you not to say that!"

"You asked me not to call Ron that you didn't say anything about tall, unfunny red heads that have their arms around my wife" Draco really didn't like other people touching anything that was his.

"Firstly, we've been friends for a lot longer than I've been your wife and secondly stop being such a jealous baby"

Hermione turned back to George, completely ignoring the indignant look on her husbands pale face "George, where is Pansy, how is she coping with being pregnant?"

"Actually Granger she's in the girls bathroom right now, bringing her breakfast back up. She ran away saying something about too much aftershave. I had to stop wearing mine altogether last week, she said she would ward the front door to not let me in if I put it on again"

"Oh no, poor Pansy. I've only been sick a couple of times thank Merlin. Which floor were you on when she got sick? I'll go and see if she's ok"

"This floor, she's just across the corridor"

Hermione walked over to the girls' bathroom, leaving Draco with George, Harry, Ron, Luna and Ginny. None of which seemed too impressed with his behaviour over the last ten minutes.

She walked through the large door to the bathroom, where she found Pansy splashing some water on her face. "Are you okay Pansy?"

"Don't pretend to care Granger, I don't need your pity"

"Pansy listen, I know we have never liked each other and I know that you probably hold a lot against me even now, but we're all in this situation together, and your married to one of my friends and I'm married to one of yours, can't we just try to get along. If it doesn't work out I'll stay away from you"

Pansy just gave her a dirty look. "You know I find a piece of toast in the morning before I leave my flat really helps with the morning sickness, maybe you should try it. Also George said the smell of aftershave triggers it off, maybe you could cast an Imperturbable charm around yourself so you can't smell anything, it normally stops sounds but it might work on smells as well"

"I never thought of that, maybe I'll try it" Pansy murmured. "Granger, why do you want to be friends with me? I've always been taught to hate people like you".

Hermione sighed "I fought in that war to stop the blood prejudice Pansy, I am a witch with muggle parents, that's all. I see no reason not to be friends. Plus for at least the next ten minutes we're the only pregnant girls in our year, we should stick together" Hermione was trying to be jovial, hoping to help with Pansy's mood and it seemed to be working, Pansy did smile a little.

"Ok Granger. I'm not saying we're friends but ok"

The girls left the bathroom and walked back down to their husbands. As soon as George saw Pansy he engulfed her into a lanky armed hug from behind and put his hands over her abdomen. He was obviously completely in love with his baby, and quite enamoured with the woman that was carrying it.

Madam Pomfrey called them into the wing a moment later and the four couples disappeared behind the curtains.

"So, Pansy didn't try to hex you when you went into the bathroom then" Draco still appeared to be a little annoyed about their earlier encounter.

"No, we had a little chat and agreed to a truce, everything is going to be just fine. Why are you looking at me like that Draco, George only had his arm around my shoulder, you look like your about to throw a massive tantrum"

"I am not going to throw a tantrum. Malfoy's don't throw tantrums. I don't like him touching you. It's bad enough that I have to put up with Potter and Weasley, but I know that I will be fighting a losing battle so I don't bother, but I will not allow any other men to touch you"

Hermione did not have the energy to argue, she had been feeling rather tired for the past few days. "Come here Draco" She put her arms around his shoulders and pulled him into a very sensual kiss. "YOU are my husband. YOU are the father of my baby and YOU are the one that I'm going to be going home with tonight. I never want you to get jealous again because myself and your baby are not going anywhere, got it"

His famous smirk made an appearance and he nodded and kissed her again.

A throat clearing broke them apart and Madam Pomfrey's knowing smile caused Hermione to turn bright red.

"I'm glad to see you two getting along so well. How have you been feeling Hermione?"

Hermione automatically lay back on the bed and Draco stood to the side and took her hand. "I'm okay Madam Pomfrey, my breasts are still a little tender and I get a little queasy before breakfast but other than that I'm fine".

"Good, that all sounds normal. Lift your shirt for me please" Madam Pomfrey began to mutter spells under her breath as she placed her wand over Hermione's abdomen.

Hermione just lay back and waited, the spinning of the wand was making her dizzy. "Well that's all fine, you are just under eight weeks, but we already knew that. I have one more spell to perform and you may leave".

She waved her wand and a thumping sound began to admit itself from Hermione's belly.

Draco looked to Madam Pomfrey "What is that?"

"That, Mr & Mrs. Malfoy is the sound of your baby's heartbeat".

Hermione's grip on Draco's hand tightened and she felt tears prickle her eyes instantly. That was their baby.

"Isn't it too early to hear it Madam Pomfrey?"

"Muggle machines can't hear it until 10 weeks Hermione, but we're not muggles" Madam Pomfrey smirked at how good magical medicine was.

Draco leaned over and kissed her temple. The look on his face was difficult to decipher. He looked like he was smirking, smiling and maybe even trying to hold back tears all at the same time, although Hermione was sure she knew what Draco would say if she mentioned it 'Malfoy's don't cry!'

Madam Pomfrey left them alone to continue on with her next patients and Draco climbed onto the bed and gave Hermione a cuddle. It had just hit them that they were really about to have a baby and they were both ecstatic.

After pulling themselves together they walked out from behind the curtains to find Ginny and Harry. Ginny was sobbing again and Harry was again trying to comfort her.

Hermione saw Ron and Luna just behind them and went over to find out what was going on. "I don't know why she's crying again Hermione, she should be happy, their going to have a baby" as usual Ron did not understand anything about women's emotions and was even more thrown off when he saw tears streaking down Hermione's face "Oh no not you too, why are you crying?"

"Oh shut up Ronald" Hermione was utterly exasperated by him.

Luna took his arm and pulled him away. "Are you okay Hermione? Ignore Ron he's clueless"

Hermione smiled at her blonde friends honesty, Ron certainly was clueless. "I'm fine Luna, pregnancy hormones are just adding to how happy I am for my best friends. What's happening with you two, have you had your test yet?"

"We did but Madam Pomfrey got called away half way through and she hasn't come back yet, apparently peeves dropped some walking sticks onto some first years and one of them got hit in the eye or something. "

Draco laughed and Hermione gave him a scathing look that quite clearly said 'that is not funny'.

A moment later Madam Pomfrey came back and took Ron and Luna behind their curtain again. Hermione went over and congratulated Harry and Ginny with a hug and Draco returned the handshake that Harry had given him when they had found out they were expecting.

After a while Luna came out with a big smile on her face. She pulled back the curtain to reveal Madam Pomfrey standing over Ron whose was passed out on the bed.

"Ron fainted, it was very funny" was Luna responses to their enquiring looks. Harry decided to tackle this particular Luna comment. "Why did faint Luna, is everything ok?"

"Oh yes, he just fainted when Madam Pomfrey said I was three weeks pregnant that's all" Luna didn't seem to understand what the big deal was.

Ginny squealed and pulled Luna into a big hug and Harry reluctantly joined the noise fest when Ginny grabbed his robes and pulled him over. A groaning noise indicated that Ron had come to so Hermione and Draco joined his bedside.

"Congratulations Ron, we're so happy for you"

"Speak for yourself dear wife, I think there are already too many redheads reproducing in this school without this one too"

"Draco, do shut up for once" Hermione was really getting bored of the redhead jokes.

"err..thanks 'Mione. Why am I on a bed, what happened?"

Harry came over, "Well mate, apparently you fainted when Madam Pomfrey told you the good news"

"What news?"

Ginny untangled herself from Luna and joined them "Wow did he hit his head. Your wife is pregnant idiot"

Ron's eyes widened for and for a second he looked like he was going to faint again. He got up off the bed and slowly walked over to Luna. When she nodded to confirm what Ginny said he dropped to his knees and places a bunch of little kisses on her abdomen.

Ron being so unusually sweet started Ginny and Hermione off crying again and Harry and Draco were torn between trying to comfort them and holding back their laughter at Ron's unusual public display of affection.

…

That evening Hermione, Draco, Harry and Ginny found themselves at Ron and Luna's flat. They were celebrating all the news of the day.

George and Pansy came over after a while and joined the party although Hermione told her to wait in the hallway until she had done a thorough Scourgify on the boys to remove all traces of aftershave.

After Pansy came in and sat down, George stood up and raised his glass of firewhiskey "Congratulations to everyone on the room tonight, Pansy and I are very happy that you have joined our little club of Morning Sickness.."

"Oh George stop it"

"Sorry babe, anyway we have another little announcement to make. Madam Pomfrey did a test on my beautiful wife today and told us that there will be two little George's running around in a few months!"

Ginny immediately jumped up and ran over to hug George while Draco and Hermione congratulated Pansy.

Ron was cuddled up with Luna on the couch, in fact apart from when he was forced to go to lessons he had let go of Luna for a second. "Well done mate, have you told mum yet? We sent her a note about Ginny and Luna this morning"

"Not yet O' little brother of mine, we're going to invite her and dad here on the Hogsmeade weekend next week and tell them then".

"That sounds like a good idea, maybe we could all go to lunch together or something and celebrate all the grandchildren their getting"

"Put ever so elegantly little brother, but yes that sounds like quite the idea, I'll owl them from the shop in the morning but for now I'm going to take my wife and children home"

"George, stop being smug, I'm the one that has to carry your children! Thank you for tonight, we had a good time" they left after a round of goodbyes and a reluctant Pansy received a hug from Ginny.

"Do you two want to join us for lunch at the weekend?" Ron asked Hermione and Draco,

"Actually we can't, my mother is bringing Hermione's parents and they are spending the day with us."

"Thanks for the offer though" Hermione added.

They said their goodbyes and Hermione and Draco went home.

Hermione was thoroughly exhausted and went straight to bed, while Draco sat down in the living room.

He hadn't told Hermione, he hadn't told anyone. That morning Draco had received a letter from his father, he hadn't read it yet; he hadn't wanted to worry his wife if she'd seen it that morning.

He took the envelope from the inside pocket of his robe.

Dear Draco

I was so glad to hear from you. I didn't think I ever would, although your mother has written to me weekly with news of you.

I hope you can forgive me for everything that happened, especially the things that have directly affected you.

In regards to the note you sent me. I already knew that you had to marry the Granger girl. I cannot say that it is something I will ever be truly happy about; I have had my beliefs far too long to change them now, but I will say that I hope you are happy and that you both give everything to your children that I always wanted for you.

My congratulations to you both in the news of my first grandchild, I truly am happy about that even if I don't like the mother.

I hope I hear from you again my son, I have missed you so.

All my love

Your father
