One night Hermione and Draco lay in bed. Their two youngest children fast asleep in their rooms. Hermione was as always, reading, but Draco stared at    his, their mark. He traced the rose-gold swirls and loops. His finger found its way to the interlocked letters in the middle of a loop, D & H. 

Their bond had grown so strong it was now visible on their collarbones.

In smaller, little loops were the first letters of their childrens names.
I, A, S, X, C, M.

Draco smiled. Hermione noticed him looking at the elegant design.

Draco chuckled.

"What?" Asked Hermione with a small smile.

Draco turned to her and supported his weight on his lower arm.

"Do you remember, all those years ago when we used to fight over how many children we'd have?"

Hermione gave a small chuckle. "Of course I do. I wanted four and you wanted six. We had that first fight on New Years Eve, on the train. A few hours before you proposed to me in the astronomy tower."

Draco smiled remembering the memory. "Exactly, well I was right."

"About what?" Hermione asked.

"We've got six children." Draco replied.

Hermione took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Seven." She told him.

Draco was confused. "What?"

Hermione touched her belly.

"We have seven children." She stated.

Draco's face lit up. " Seven. I love you Hermione. " He said jumping up and kissing her all the way from her lips to her stomach.

These sweet, small, loving, kisses left tingles all over her body and filled her with a lust that was begging for more.

"I love too, Draco." She said kissing him passionately.

At one point Hermione nearly fell off the bed. Draco lunged for her. Wrapping his arms around her petite waist.

"Thanks for catching me."

"Anytime."

What they had was such a passion and lust it was almost an unimaginable love.

It was the kind of passion that would live on and on. A love that would last always and forever.

Aeternum et Semper.
