Taking Chances
Chapter Eight
The Prayer
Hermione awoke the next morning and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Draco who was soundly asleep in the chair beside her. She smiled as she saw his nose twitch and then watched as a smile appeared on his face. She reached out her hand and tried to tap Draco's knee.
'Draco.' She said as she tapped his knee over and over again.
'Mmmm...what?' Draco said as he sat straight up and looked at Hermione. 'Are you okay?'
'I'm fine.' Hermione said as she sat up in the bed carefully. 'When do you think they'll let me go home?'
'Soon.' Draco said wondering whether he should tell her about staying at the manor or not.
'I just want to sleep in my own bed.' Hermione said as she yawned.
'Well...It won't be your bed but it will be mine.' Draco said as he looked at Hermione. 'I thought it would be best if you stayed with me for the next two weeks.'
'What?' Hermione said as she looked at him.
'You said you wanted to be with me so I thought it would be best if you stayed with me for the next two weeks. I'll take time off work and I could look after you and the baby.' Draco said as he looked at Hermione.
'You want me to stay at the Manor with your parents?' Hermione asked again. 'Are you serious?'
'Very.' Draco replied. 'I thought it would be for the best; I want to make sure you and the baby are okay. Please Hermione?'
'I know I said I wanted to be with you but you do know I mean be with you in the sense start up our relationship again not live with you.' She replied.
'It's only for two weeks.' Draco said as he edged towards Hermione. 'Please?'
Draco was never one for bragging and Hermione looked at his pleading eyes and sighed. 'Fine!' she said. 'But if at anytime I want to leave I will.'
'Deal.' Draco said as he smiled widely.
An hour later, the Healer came to see Draco and Hermione with the test results. Hermione sat nervously on the bed clutching hold of Draco's hand as the Healer spoke to them.
'Well, the results are back and your baby seems perfectly fine. Growing well and no apparently problems.' He said. 'However I am still putting you on bed rest for the next few weeks.'
'Okay. I understand.' Hermione said.
'Also until your twenty week scan I am putting your pregnancy at high risk, that means no stressing, no physical activity and no sex!' The Healer said.
'No problem.' Hermione said as smiled and looked towards Draco.
'Also with the tests that we did we did a CV test?' The Healer said as he looked at them both like they knew what it was but neither of them did. 'A CV test looks at genetic disabilities but it also finds out the sex of the baby. We know for definite what the baby is. Would you like to know?'
'Would you be able to write it down for us and we can open it later if we wish?' Hermione asked.
'Of course.' He replied.
Another hour later and Hermione was ready to leave the hospital. Draco gave Hermione his black cloak to wear to the Manor. They climbed into the Hospital floo and flooed back to the Manor; as soon as they stepped out of the floo they were welcomed by Narcissa.
'Welcome home!' she said as she launched herself at Hermione and hugged her which took Hermione by surprise. 'How are you feeling dear?'
'Much better.' Hermione said as she untangled herself from Draco's mother.
'I'm glad. Now I have made Masie your personal house elf while you are here. She will get anything you need.' Narcissa said. 'Young Ms Weasley dropped over some things for you this afternoon and they have been put into your bedroom.'
'Thank you Mrs Malfoy.' Hermione said.
'Narcissa, please.' She replied. 'I prepared the spare room in Draco's wing for you. Draco why don't you take Hermione there now and get her settled and then your father wishes to speak with you in his office.'
'Okay.' Draco said as he led Hermione off.
Draco took Hermione up the stairs and then down the winding hallways to his wing. As they reached his wing he stopped and smiled at Hermione.
'Okay?' He asked to which Hermione only nodded to say she was okay.
Draco opened the 'front door' to his apartment in the house and led Hermione inside. Hermione stood in the middle of the room and took in the decor; there was a white corner sofa in the middle of the room, a huge bookcase full of books in the corner and a muggle television which surprised her.
'You got me hooked.' Draco said as he smiled. 'Come on; let's get you in bed after all you are on bed rest.'
Draco took hold of Hermione's hand and took her through his office and then to a huge bedroom which was decorated in black and white. The bed was simply amazing; she had never seen anything like it. The sheets were black silk and she could imagine how they would feel on her naked skin. Around the bed was white chiffon curtains which she thought would be lovely laying in bed with Draco and them closed away from the world.
'This is my bedroom.' He said as he took off his jacket and walked to the bed.
'I thought your mother said the guest room?' Hermione replied.
'I am not having you sleep in the guest room.' He said as he pulled back the sheets. 'Now climb into bed.'
Hermione smiled and walked towards Draco's king size bed. She shrugged off his black cloak leaving her in just a night gown which came to mid thighs and climbed into bed.
As Hermione laid down in Draco's bed she smiled. 'I do appreciate you looking after me Draco.'
'You have no need to thank me Hermione.' Draco said as he too laid down on the bed and kissed her head.
Hermione sighed and snuggled up to Draco. The two laid together entwined thinking about the road ahead.
