Draco ejoyed a nice long hot shower with Hermione as his guard. He thought she was over-reacting, but he could see her point. He would be doing the same for Hermione. Draco had pulled Hermione into the shower with him, and things had started to heat up. But when Draco started to get alittle carried away, Hermione turned the cold water on to blasting. Draco gave a little yelp, and Hermione got out to change and make Draco dinner. Draco got into his pajamas and climbed into bed. Hermione came up with a tray of warm soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

"Here honey, eat this." Hermione gave Draco the soup, then sat on the edge of the bed. She played with her hands for awhile. Draco noticed.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" Hermione looked up at him, then looked down.

"I'll...I'll tell you later Draco, ok?" Hermione shifted in her seat, then climbed into bed with Draco. Draco waved his wand, and the empty dishes disappeared. He put his arm around her.

"Hermione, please tell me what's bothering you."

"Draco...I'm pregnant." Draco took his arm off her. He got out of bed. He looked at his wife.

"Hermione...you're serious?"

"Yes Draco...I'm due in May. I took some tests while you were at work, and I think it's going to be a girl." Draco grinned and couldn't stop. He was going to be a father. Him, Draco Malfoy, a daddy.

"Well, what should we name her?" Draco asked Hermione.

"I don't know yet. I was thinking about Cheyanne, but I could be persuaded into a different name Draco."

"Well, Mrs. Hermione Granger Malfoy, I don't think that we should pick just any name for our daughter. What about....Simone?"

Hermione and Draco stayed up half the night thinking up names and such. They fell asleep in each others arms, Hermione happy to have Draco back home safe and sound, Draco just happy to be with Hermione.

OK, I know that was short, but I needed the bridge to lead off into the next chapter.
