Thank you so much everyone if you've stuck with this story and reviewed, love you all :) x
Epilogue
"We would like everyone to meet Ruthie Narcissus Malfoy." Hermione said majestically.
Draco snorted, "No child of mine is going to be called 'Ruthie'."
"Why not? Ruthie is a lovely name!" argued Hermione.
"For an eighty year old and we're probably having a son anyway."
"Our child will be an eighty year old at some point and the thing is we don't know what we're having! We have to think of names for either."
"Okay... Draco Junior."
Hermione scoffed, "And if we have a girl?"
"Dracina." He said proudly. So maybe he was actually as arrogant as he pretended to be.
"No."
"That's it? No reason, just a no?"
"Yes."
They were sat on their couch, all hands on Hermione's stomach.
"Okay how about Lillian?" Hermione asked quietly.
"Lillian..." He said slowly, Hermione grinned as he contemplated it, "I like it."
"Oh good! Now what about for a boy?"
"What about Alexander? Alex for short." He suggested.
Pleased that he was finally taking it seriously, she turned round, "I love it."
"Lillian Hermione Malfoy and Alexander Draco Malfoy, our son or daughter." He said proudly. He leant down and kissed his wife.
"Draco..."
He grinned into her lips, "Yes Hermione."
"No Draco, I think I'm having the baby!"
He jumped up, "What?! I know they say sex brings on labour but we didn't even do anything!"
"Just Floo me to St Mungos!"
"Right, St Mungos, of course, you're right, come on then, St Mungos."
"Accio overnight bag." Hermione said over Draco's rambling. He threw powder into the flames and shouted St Mungos.
"Wife in labour!" He cried when he got there. Everybody looked at him strangely. "**** I forgot my wife!"
He Flooed back to their cottage and pulled Hermione gently back through, ignoring her shouting and screaming.
"Here's my wife." He said, proving that he wasn't a crazy.
A relatively short labour later Hermione let go of Draco's hand and he sighed in relief.
"You have no idea how much that hurt." He said. Hermione and all of the midwives shot him death glares, "Oh right, sorry."
"Here's your baby boy Mrs and Mr Malfoy."
Hermione took their son in her arms and tears formed in her eyes, "Alexander Draco Malfoy." She whispered. Draco stepped closer and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Well done love, I'm so proud."
"You'd better be – you put me through all of that pain."
"And you wouldn't change it for the world?" He asked hopefully.
She tilted her head to the side, "I would put you through a bit more pain." she said conversationally. He visibly gulped. The midwives subtly left the room, giving them time to gaze adoringly at their son.
"Mrs Malfoy? I believe there are some people to see your family." The midwife said ten minutes later, popping her head round the door, "Are you ready to see people?"
"I'm fine, let them in."
Draco passed Alex to Hermione after kissing him softly on the head.
"Oh gosh Hermione darling." Jean breathed. She looked like she very much wanted to run over and hug the life out of her but she held her place, "Draco your mother is in the hall, she thought that I would want to see my daughter first. Narcissa." She called. Together the two women made their way over to the bed.
"He's so beautiful." They gushed.
"What's his name?" Jean asked, stroking the soft layer of blonde hair.
"Alexander Draco Malfoy." Hermione and Draco said with a smile, "Alex for short."
"Alex." They repeated.
"Can I hold him?" Jean asked tentatively.
"Of course you can, he's your grandson." Hermione carefully place Alex into her mother's waiting arms and drew back reluctantly.
Their mothers cooed over Alex for while before letting in their grumbling husbands ('he is our grandchild too, I can't believe you have kept us out here for this long' 'there's only so many times you can look at a kid' Lucius received a smack for that one).
"When do you get to take him home?" Jean asked, after many pictures (both muggle and magical) had been taken.
"I have to stay for the rest of the night but I can leave in the morning." Hermione said cheerfully.
"That's good then."
Hermione tried to stifle a yawn but her mothers and mother in laws sharp eyes caught it.
"We'll be going then, we'll be at your cottage and eleven okay, well done Hermione." Narcissa said, standing up.
"Yes, well done sweetheart, I love you."
Hermione and Draco said their goodbyes and I love you's and she rested her head back.
"Hermione love, go to sleep – Alex will be right here." Draco promised.
"Are you sure?"
Draco nodded and she mumbled thank you before closing her eyes.
"I love you Draco." She whispered, "I love you too Alex."
"We love you too Hermione."
Very clichéd ending but what did you think?
