Hermione couldn’t see where Draco was leading her since he had tied a blue spotty tie around her eyes. She kept a tight hold on his arm, feeling like she had gone back in time seven months ago when Draco got released from the Ministry prisons: she had not let go of him that whole week. She was all for keeping him as close as possible for the rest of her life but Draco had chuckled at that and told her he needed to find work and a house and... so many other things that went straight over Hermione’s head as she fixated on those lips  of his.

Draco had found a job after weeks of searching. He was now working in a muggle shop since the wizarding world wouldn’t employ him. He had found a job in a music store and had been very excited about it, Hermione remembered. For days afterwards, he would talk to Hermione and Rose at breakfast about all the things he got to do in the store. He played his guitar at home, much to Rose’s enjoyment.

Rose was very excited to start school in a different place and Hermione smiled when her daughter explained all about her muggle teachers and her friends. She also had clung onto Draco who would drop her off every morning. The first few days were the hardest since she never wanted to leave Draco when he dropped her off to school but now she would rather run away from Draco and tell him that he could go to work now.

Hermione chuckled at the memory of Draco’s face falling as though his own child had brushed him off like that. Of course, Rose was as much Draco’s child as she was Hermione’s.

‘Stair. Stair! I said stair!’ Draco’s voice sounded in Hermione’s right ear and she lifted her foot to put on the stair that she couldn’t see. Draco sighed, ‘will you listen to my instructions? Do you want to fall?’

‘Sorry! I was just thinking of these last seven months,’ Hermione admitted, feeling another stair and climbing it before Draco made her stop walking, ‘I mean, I’m so glad you’re here with me... of course, I’d love to say this to your face if you take this bloody tie off my eyes!’

‘This bloody tie will be off in a second,’ Draco let out a deep chuckle and she heard something clinking in front of her, ‘and thanks. I... don’t think I would have survived that cell if I didn’t have you to think of.’

‘So very romantic,’ Hermione grinned, ‘I really wish I could see your face!’

‘Hold on!’

‘Yes, master!’

‘Kinky,’ Draco commented which made Hermione blush furiously.

Hermione was about to make a very stuttered comment when Draco took her hand and pulled her forwards. She paused and could feel Draco’s lips briefly kiss her neck, making the skin heat up instantly, before his skilful hands undid the tie around her eyes. The material fell off and Hermione opened her eyes slowly.

‘Welcome to our new house!’ Draco grinned from ear to ear as he spread his arms wide to give the big reveal.

Hermione supposed she should close her mouth to stop herself from drooling but she didn’t think of that. The house was beautiful to say the least. The kitchen was spacious, the back garden was perfect for Rose to play in, the living room held a massive television, the room... Oh, the room... Her and Draco’s room.

Draco led her around like a tour guide, telling her about all the different features of the house that included a wine rack, a walk in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. He got to their master bedroom and Hermione let out a delighted squeal.

The bed had been made to perfection with the light blue and white sheets flowing down on either side. The curtains on the bed were white and pushed backwards. The dresses was a glamorous white with a little chair that she could sit down and tug at her unruly mane of brown hair. Pictures lined the walls of a few drawings that were from Draco and some of her and Draco and Rose.

‘I love it.’

The words took no strain to say because they were completely true.

‘Really?’ Draco grinned as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips gently, ‘good. This is for you. For us.’

‘Us... I like the sound of that,’ Hermione admitted as she snaked her arms around the blonde man that happened to be what everyone called the one.

‘This house is absolutely gorgeous,’ Ginny smiled.

Hermione crossed her legs under the table and finished off her bite of food, smiling  back at her, ‘it is, isn’t it? This was all Draco’s idea and he has the best taste!’

Draco jerked his eyes away from Harry and gave a weak smile to Hermione. He had no idea why he had agreed to eat dinner with the Potter’s when Harry was the one who could have gotten him out of his punishment.

Harry just stared down at his food as the two women talked.

‘How’s baby Albus?’ Hermione gushed, looking at Ginny with a grin, ‘I bet he’s growing like a weed. I know Rose was when she was a baby.’

Draco jerked his eyes up to meet Hermione’s gaze. He smiled for the first time that evening, knowing tonight was the night that she would take a pregnancy test. Ever since Hermione had missed her last period, she had been worried of what that could mean. Obviously one thing: she was pregnant.

Draco’s smile grew into a grin as he thought of the positive outcome to that. They would be a family, finally. After so many years apart and the six months spent in that dingy cell, at least now he had Hermione and Rose and maybe another little baby.

Rose happily ate on, talking animatedly to Harry as she did so. Draco grinned for the whole of that evening until they were saying goodnight to the Potter’s – Harry and Draco shaking hands awkwardly and not really exchanging farewells. Rose was put to bed earlier than usual with Draco rushing through her bed time story.

And now, right at this moment, Draco had his head pressed against the bathroom door while Hermione was in there.

‘I don’t know why I’m not allowed in,’ Draco said for the hundredth time.

‘I just... don’t appreciate you staring at me while I urinate,’ Hermione murmured and he could hear the water from the tap as she washed her hands.

‘Start counting,’ Hermione murmured, opening the door and reaching over to hug him.

Draco obliged and counted down from sixty. His hands ran circles around her back as he tried to comfort her, feeling her muscles loosen against him. He wanted her to be happy about this and he knew she would be but being pregnant would be hard.

’40... 39...’

She had been pregnant with Rose before and had been all alone, except for Michael of course. Draco frowned briefly at the thought of that asshole – as he liked to say whenever Michael was mentioned. He still didn’t understand why Hermione didn’t want to turn Michael into the police but... she said something about having him gone for her life for good. Still, Draco wanted him to hurt as much as he made Hermione hurt.

‘10... 9.... 8... 7...’

Hermione tensed around his body, closing her eyes tight.

‘6... 5... 4...’

‘I love you,’ Hermione murmured.

‘And I love you,’ Draco replied before he got down to the number one.

He rubbed her back lightly and leaned over to look at the little stick that would determine their future. Draco’s heart stopped for one beat before picking up its pace as he saw the plus sign meaning...

‘You’re pregnant!’

Hermione clutched him tighter, hugging him as though her life depended on it.

‘Oh... how exactly are we going to take care of a little baby? I don’t know... I can take care of Rose but she’s not a new born baby,’ Draco said, blubbering out words until Hermione put a hand over his mouth.

‘I guess this will be your last lesson,’ Hermione said and paused, kissing his lips, ‘you’ve perfected your love lessons.’

‘My last lesson will be about being a father?’ Draco murmured against her lips, ‘mm, I can’t wait to start.’

His hand travelled down to her stomach as he rubbed the spot that would slowly expand due to their child growing there. Draco kissed her, the only woman he had ever loved and would ever love.

Hermione had taught him to love and he couldn’t be more grateful.
