Epilogue
"19 Months Later"

Hermione sat in the middle of the giant bed, looking sleepily over at Draco who was holding his first born child. Her heart swelled as she fell in love with her husband all over again.

The mediwitch who had assisted in the birth, was packing up her things, getting ready to head out. She placed a gentle hand on Hermione's arm to get her attention and smiled kindly when Hermione turned to her.

"I'll be back in a few days to check in on you both. You have a very healthy little boy there though. Congratulations again."

"Thank you," said Hermione with a smile.

A boy. She couldn't believe it. Now she had one of each.

When the mediwitch left, she turned back to Draco who was still staring at his newborn son with love and admiration. He felt her watching him and finally peeled his eyes away from the child to look at her. He gave her a smile and walked over to the bed to sit next to her, making sure to not jostle the baby.

"You did amazing, love," said Draco, kissing Hermione softly.

"You were pretty amazing yourself. You didn't faint once," she teased.

"Malfoy men don't faint," he said hotly before going back to smiling.

They both sat there, staring at the baby for a few silent moments.

"You know, he still needs a name," said Hermione.

"I've been thinking about that too… how about Scorpius?" asked Draco.

"Um… I'm not so sure…" she said hesitantly.

"Well, what did you have in mind," he asked.

"I like the name Hugo," said Hermione.

Draco wrinkled his nose, "Definitely not."

"Well, why do you want Scorpius?" she asked.

"Well, as you're well aware, all of our family have names after constellations. And I've always liked the name," he said with a shrug before asking, "Why do you want Hugo?"

"I read it in a book a long time ago as a child and really liked how it sounded," said Hermione.

"Look's like we're at an impasse," said Draco teasingly. "Why don't we let him decide?" he asked.

Hermione frowned and looked at Draco, "How can a newborn choose his own name?"

"Easy. We'll each say the name we want and if he reacts to one of them, that'll be his name."

"And if he doesn't react to either?"

"Then we'll keep saying names until he does, deal?"

Hermione smiled and rolled her eyes, "Fine, deal."

Draco held the baby between the two of them, who was still fast asleep.

Hermione spoke first, "Hugo. Hi sweetie. You like the name Hugo don't you?"

The baby continued to sleep.

"My turn," said Draco, "Scorpius, you don't like that silly name your mum picked out, do you? You'd much prefer a more manly sounding name, right?"

The baby's lips twitched into a quick smirk then went back to sleeping

"He smiled!" said Draco happily.

"It was probably just gas," said Hermione dismissively.

"Still, a deal's a deal," he said, smiling.

"Alright fine. We can name him Scorpius. But I get to name the next one," she said.

"Next one, huh?" said Draco, amused.

She glared at him, "Don't get any ideas Malfoy. That probably won't be happening for a while."

Draco chuckled. "Well, why don't you choose his middle name then?" he offered. "But if you suggest Harry that may be grounds for divorce," he teased.

Hermione made a face at Draco, making him laugh.

"I wasn't going to say Harry. I was thinking about Joseph, though. After my father. What do you think?" she asked.

"Hm… Scorpius Joseph Malfoy. I like it," he said, looking at the sleeping baby.

She leaned in and kissed him, "So it's settled then?"

Draco nodded, kissing his wife again.

There was a gentle knock on the door and Mrs. Weasley popped her head in, "Sorry to interrupt, but there's a certain little girl who has been waiting very patiently to meet her little brother," she said, smiling.

Hermione smiled back, "She can come in now."

Upon hearing her mother's voice, Rose peered through the doorframe. "Mummy?" she asked.

"Hi sweetie," said Hermione as Draco handed her the baby. He got off the bed and went over to Rose and picked her up, "Are you ready to meet your little brother?" he asked.

"Yes daddy!" she said excitedly.

He brought her over to the bed and placed her next to Hermione then sat next to her so she was sandwiched between them.

"Rose, I want you to meet Scorpius," said Hermione, holding the baby close to the older sibling.

"He's so tiny!" she said. She looked at Hermione then to Draco, "Can I hold him?" she asked sweetly.

"Sure honey," said Hermione.

Draco set up Rose so that she had a pillow on her lap for her arms to rest on. He lifted the baby from Hermione's arms and placed him in Rose's.

"His nose is small," Rose commented, making Draco and Hermione smile. "He has hair like daddy."

"Yes, he does," said Hermione, looking at Draco lovingly.

"Can I take him to my room and play?" asked Rose.

"Sorry sweetie, he's too small to play with you just yet," said Draco, kissing the top of her head.

"Oh," said Rose sadly.

"Give him about six months, then he'll be able to sit up and play with you, ok?" said Hermione.

"Is that a long time from now?" Rose asked curiously

"Not really. And in the meantime, you can help me by bringing me nappies, and holding him, and showing him some of your favorite books, alright?"

"Ok….Oh! Can I give him his present now?" asked Rose.

"What present, sweetie?" asked Hermione curiously.

"Grandma Cissa helped me pick something out," she said, "Can I go get it?"

Hermione nodded as Draco took the baby from Rose. She climbed out of the bed quickly and ran out of the room.

"Did you know about this?" Hermione asked Draco.

"This is the first I've heard about it," he said.

Rose ran back into the room and hopped onto the bed. In her hands was a stuffed rabbit. It looked similar to her's, but was newer and light green in color.

"Now Scorpius can have his own Bun-bun!" she said happily, placing the stuffed animal on top of the swaddled baby.

"Oh Rosie, this is such a wonderful gift. I'm sure he loves it," she said, pulling her daughter in for a hug.

"Teddy and James and 'Tori want to see the baby too. Can they come in?" asked Rose.

Hermione chuckled, "Go ahead and tell everyone they can come in now."

"Kay!" said Rose as she ran out of the room.

"Tell them to wash their hands first!" Draco called after her.

Hermione was glad that Draco convinced her into moving to a bigger house after getting married; there was no way they would be able to fit all their family and friends in their home otherwise.

The house was much bigger than her last place, but was also much smaller from the manor that Draco lived almost his whole life. It had five bedrooms, with the master bedroom easily the size of her old living room. Draco conjured up a couch into their room where their visitors sat, each taking turns on holding the newest Malfoy.

"He's adorable," said Harry, taking his turn, "you know, for a Malfoy," he said jokingly, making Draco laugh.

Ginny was next to him, little James asleep on her lap, and her belly already growing their second child, "He has Draco's hair and eyes... are you sure he's yours, Hermione?" she teased.

"His hair has a bit of a curl to it, so at least he got that from me," said Hermione, smiling.

"He has your nose too," said Draco, kissing Hermione's nose as he sat next to her on the bed.

Rose and her cousins, who realized that the new baby was rather boring since all he did was sleep, had ran off and were in the playroom while the adults talked.

"You know, I'm still upset you didn't name him after me," said Blaise, motioning for Harry to pass the baby to him.

Draco rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Maybe next time."

"What kind of name is Scorpius, anyways," Blaise mumbled.

"A beautiful one. Can I hold my grandchild now, please?" asked Narcissa. She smiled as Blaise handed the baby to her.

Hermione was thankful to have Narcissa in their life. After Lucius went to Azkaban, she was finally able to come out of hiding as well. As it turns out, she had been staying with her sister, Andromeda. It had been rough and awkward at first, but they finally rekindled their relationship and were now both raising Teddy at the manor. Narcissa had been talking about selling the place though and getting something smaller since it was just the three of them. Draco had reminded her that it was just three of them living there as well while he was growing but she dismissed him, saying something about how it was Lucius's idea to live there. Hermione had been worried that Narcissa wouldn't accept her, but was happily surprised when she gave her a kind smile when Draco introduced her as his fiancee. She was equally surprised and happy when she accepted Rose as her granddaughter, even before they were married.

Draco and Hermione were married six months after he properly proposed, which was only a few days after they got Rose back. He presented her with ring that had been in his family for over a hundred years. It was silver with an emerald in place of a diamond, meant to represent Slytherin since almost everyone in his family had been sorted in that house. He added red rubies to either side to represent her Gryffindor house. Due to the colors, it was only fitting that they got married on Christmas day.

The ceremony was a simple one, according to Draco, but to Hermione, it was perfect. They held it in the backyard of their new house, under a tent that was enchanted to keep it warm while snow gently fell from the sky around them. Rose walked down the aisle before her mother, spreading white and red rose petals. Ginny and Pansy had been her bridesmaids while Blaise and Harry had been groomsmen. She remembered fondly glancing over at her mother, who was holding hands with Narcissa, both wiping tears from their eyes as her father looked at her proudly.

"Where'd ya go, love?" asked Draco softly, leaning into her so that only she could hear.

She laid her head on his shoulder and said, "Just thinking about our wedding day. How it was one of the three best days of my life."

"What were the other two?" he asked, reaching for hand and intertwined their fingers.

"The day was Rose was born and now today," she said.

"You mean my proposal isn't on that list?" he teased.

"It's definitely in the top five, don't worry," she teased back.

They watched as their friends continued to pass around their baby, making funny faces and using high voices.

"Do you want to know one of my top favorite days?" he asked her softly.

"What?" she asked curiously.

"The day Rose ran up to me at the zoo and said 'Mine.'"

Hermione smiled at him, "She must have known something we didn't at the time."

He leaned over to kissed her softly then said, "And now you're both mine, and I'm yours. Always."
