He had intended it to be a joke, to be honest he had. But then, as she'd put it later, he did not know how it felt to be one ["I'd rather be one, than be around one," he'd retort, and she'd glare daggers at him] and so, unfortunately, he did not know to expect the hexing that had followed.

Hexing that resulted in Draco possessing a horn for a tongue, and his wife standing in front of him in the garden, the wind fiercely whipping her red hair into her eyes, and the said eyes glaaaaaaring at him like he had dared to do the most offensive thing on Planet Earth.

"Gwin - Dwin -" He couldn't speak, not as long as he had a horn for a tongue, he realized and, giving a broad-shouldered shrug, Draco Malfoy set his poor tongue right. "See why pregnant women scare me now?" He asked, crossing his arms and looking like a kitten that had been denied a meal.

If he expected her to be all 'aww,' he couldn't have been more mistaken. Ginny Malfoy punched him in the face, and stalked off.
