Chapter 1- The New Addition

“Are you sure you want to do this sweetheart?” Draco gave Hermione a sympathetic look as they stood on the platform at the train station in Kings Cross. Draco was holding Scorpius’s hand as Scorpius clung to a Merlin doll in his other hand while they prepared to board the train for Cairo, Egypt.

“I’m sure Draco. Let’s get on the train before I change my mind already.” Hermione said as Draco supported her now very pregnant body in order for her to climb aboard the train.

“Do you think we will see a live mummy, Mummy?” Scorpius could contain his excitement no longer. Draco had surprised Hermione with a honeymoon to Egypt after life had settled down a bit for the new family of three, soon to be four. The idea had been to leave in the summer but Draco ended up being called to help coach at training camp for the Chudley Canons during the summer break from his teaching position at Hogwart’s. Some of the Canon’s new recruits needed practice, so he had worked all summer, after teaching all year at Hogwarts. Draco had opted to take Hermione on a spectacular honeymoon after the birth of their daughter but Hermione needed to get away and since it was Christmas holidays at Hogwarts she had decided her little family of three needed to get away now. Draco reluctantly agreed to go after the healer at St. Mungo’s told them Hermione still had weeks before their bundle of joy would arrive. Rather then argue with a very pregnant and moody Hermione, who was already on edge ninety percent of her day with discomfort and work related stress, he decided to give in and make the trip after all.

“Do I think you will see a live mummy?” Hermione giggled . “No but I bet we see plenty of dead ones sweetie.” Hermione smiled adoringly at her beautiful son. The adoption had gone through without a hitch and Hermione was pleased to be Scorpius’s legal mother. She couldn’t love a child any more then she did if he was her own biological child and Draco loved this about Hermione.

Draco used a conjuring spell and produced several pillows as he propped Hermione’s swollen feet up on the soft pillows. He had doted on his beautiful Hermione throughout the entire pregnancy and found her to be the most beautiful woman in the world, something that Hermione desperately needed because as the pregnancy progressed she felt as if she resembled a hippogriff.

“Scorpius, let’s allow Mummy to rest squirt. Come sit on Daddy’s lap and I will tell you all about the Egyptian pharaohs. There was one that was a little boy just like you Scorpius.” Draco gazed into Hermione’s beautiful chestnut eyes and smiled at his wife as she closed her eyes for some much needed rest. Draco opened a book and began reading to his son who was tucked comfortably in his arms as the train hummed along the tracks.

They arrived in Egypt and were chauffeured to their hotel where they had adjoining rooms. Draco hoped they could have some quiet alone time after Scorpius went to bed at night, so he tucked Scorpius in his bed in his room and quietly closed the door, stopping to look into the face of his beautiful sleeping son before turning to leave, cracking the door open as he exited the room.

“Draco come here you have to see this, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!” Hermione was gazing into the Egyptian skyline. From their balcony they could see the sun setting over the Great Pyramids of Egypt as the busy market bustled below. Draco stood behind Hermione, his arms wrapped around her waist, his hands massaging her large baby bump. She turned her head and he bent down and kissed her passionately on the lips.

“Oh, Draco, I’m so glad we came, this is better then anything I could have imagined.” Hermione said as she turned and held her husband tightly, her head resting on his safe and accommodating chest, as his hands roamed down her back gently squeezing her buttocks.

“Me too, angel, me too.” Draco said as he kissed her again, his tongue probing her mouth softly as Hermione moaned into his kiss.

“Alright Mrs. Malfoy, we better stop or else you may be in for a big surprise.” Draco said slightly embarrassed as he dropped his head to look down at the enormous bulge in his pants to which Hermione without hesitation cupped in her hands and began to rub over his pants.

“Tease.” Draco said jokingly as he pulled her hand away from his hard on.

“I’m only a tease if it gets you hot, and if I don’t intend to follow through.” Hermione said playfully.

Draco smiled at her cautiously and disappeared back into the hotel room as Hermione followed.

“Where are you going Draco? Scorpius was so tired from the trip he’s out like a light and will probably stay that way until morning, perfect time to initiate this honeymoon officially.” Hermione had a sexy grin on her face as she peeled her top off exposing her engorged breasts.

Draco continued into the bathroom where she heard him exclaim he was taking a cold shower and she should stop tempting him so.

“Baby I want to make love. You haven’t touched me in that way for over a month.” She could hear the shower being turned on and a look of disappointment surfaced on her face.

“I want you Hermione, trust that. I just don’t want to hurt my baby.” Draco called back to her from the suite’s bathroom.

“That’s just silly Draco. The baby is completely protected, besides she is asleep, she’s glad to be off that train, and so am I.” Hermione added.

“Are you sure Hermione?” Draco called out once again.

“I’m sure honey, okay?” The room went quiet for a moment and then Draco came bounding out of the bathroom in is boxers, a huge hard on protruding from his shorts.

He laid Hermione gently on the bed, passionately kissing her and massaging her highly aroused body, laying kisses down her entire body as she tingled with pleasure. Draco had wanted Hermione for so long but his fears of hurting his unborn child restrained his desire until now.

Draco slid in behind her as she lay on her side and pushed his hardness into her needing body as Hermione instantly climaxed. Their love making progressed until Draco pulled out and exploded on her back as Hermione moaned in deep pleasure. He cleaned up and then wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck lightly as they fell asleep; the Cairo streets bustling with life below them, fading into the warm Egyptian night.

Hermione had awakened to a spread of food fit for a queen at her bedside. She gulped down a glass of fresh squeezed papaya juice and then dug into the crumpets with strawberry jam. She was famished and this was the perfect start to their vacation honeymoon. Draco was out on the balcony with Scorpius pointing out all the places they would visit during their stay. Hermione lay back in the bed, her stomach feeling very full after only eating one crumpet with jam. She rubbed her belly and said good morning to her unborn baby.

“I can’t wait until you are born so Mummy can eat a proper meal without feeling like I ate an entire feast.” Draco, hearing Hermione up and awake, came inside now, with Scorpius following behind him.

“Good morning my sweet. Ready for a camel ride through the desert?” Draco smirked.

“You must be joking, Draco I can’t ride on a camel look at me.” She broke off when both Draco and Scorpius started laughing.

Hermione shook her head at the two boys and rolled her eyes.

“Actually I thought we would check out the tomb of Osiris. He was just cool.” Draco said as he slashed at Scorpius’s toy sword with his wand.

“That sounds like a plan then, let me get up and…” Hermione broke off when she felt a dull aching pain in her abdomen. She moaned quietly and lay back down on the bed.

“Hermione, are you okay? What is it?” Draco stood over Hermione attentively with his brow furrowed in worry.

“It’s nothing. The baby just must have kicked me or something. So let me get dressed and the tomb of Osirus it is!” Scorpius had a look of glee on his face at this. He was jumping up and down on the floor so much the front desk clerk had made his way up to their rooms on the top floor and knocked on the door as Hermione showered and got ready, to tell Draco to please cease with the noise. Scorpius had apparently woken up half the hotel with his childish exuberance.

“Probably old people, let’s try not to make so much noise though next time.” Draco disciplined Scorpius.

Scorpius was now bouncing on the bed in anticipation of exploring the Egyptian ruins and tombs.

They arrived at the tomb and were making their way deep into its bowels, admiring the cave paintings and artifacts as they went along hand in hand together, when Hermione suddenly felt a gush of water break and flow down her legs landing in a pool on the ground around her feet. Draco heard it and looked down and then back up at Hermione, his face now whiter then a ghost’s.

“Oh God, Hermione, the baby, now? Draco’s hands and voice were shaking as he spoke through nervous tension.

“Oh dear this isn’t good. Yes the baby is coming.” Hermione doubled over as she felt a strong contraction and she had the instinct to bear down.

“I have to lie down.” Hermione began to make her way to the soft dirt floor as she laid her hand on Scorpius’s shoulder to help her get into the sitting position.

“Oh no, no, no, no we are not having this baby here Hermione. Come on I’ll carry you, Scorpius keep up! It’s time to be a man little guy.” Draco reached for Hermione’s arms to lift her.

“Don’t be ridiculous Draco it took us forty five minutes to get down this far in the tomb; you can’t carry me that far and there isn’t time.” Hermione said as Draco disregarded her feelings on the matter and picked her up in his arms anyway.

They hadn’t gotten but fifty meters when Hermione had another excruciatingly painful contraction this time yelling out as her voice echoed through the depths of the pyramid. She hadn’t realized she’d done it but she took a rather hard swipe at Draco during her contraction and had caught him in the jaw.

“Shit!” Draco put Hermione down.

“Alright this isn’t going to work.” Draco set her down gently and started pacing the dimly lit tomb in need of a plan.

“We can apparate out of here.” Draco was speaking quickly.

“And what if we apparate into a sealed chamber by accident in your nervous state? No!”

“Alright I am going to go for help. Scorpius you stay here with your Mum.” Draco had formulated a really bad plan.

“Like hell you are leaving. This baby is coming right now!” Hermione screamed in agony as she bore down hard during a contraction.

“I can’t do this Hermione. I’m a guy and this is girl stuff. I haven’t the slightest idea what to do!” Draco screamed back at her as he knelt down at his wife’s side after she yanked him down hard.

“Catch your daughter when she comes out Draco. Is that enough of an answer for you? I’m sorry I don’t have a book and days to decide which birthing method works best for you and your manliness, just CATCH THE BABY!” Hermione was chastising him in furious manner now as the pain increased and the baby edged her way forward with each push. Scorpius sat down against a wall behind Hermione’s head and rubbed his mother’s forehead tenderly, in fear himself, but trying to be the man he would eventually become. Draco reached behind him and tugged his shirt off in rapid fashion and laid it under Hermione nervously parting her legs.

“I see the head honey, she has lot’s of hair just like you sweetheart!” Draco now sounding more excited then scared and temporarily forgetting his inexperience in the job at hand.

“Alright push Hermione. You can do it love, one more push and I can work her shoulders out I think.” Draco was concentrating so hard he forgot to be scared as Hermione let out one ear piercing scream. Draco pulled the baby from her womb into his waiting arms. Hermione’s eyes remained transfixed on the wall of the tomb in front of her, a scene depicting Isis and Osirius.

“She’s perfect Hermione. She looks just like you! Oh you did good baby, you did so good!” Draco was ecstatic as he cradled the newborn infant in his loving arms. He propped Hermione up against him and gently placed the baby in her waiting arms. Hermione had tears streaming down her face as she kissed the forehead of her newborn daughter.

“Oh, Draco, thank you. I love you so much. I couldn’t have done it without you.” Draco kissed his wife as they peered into their baby daughter’s face with proud expressions.

“Scorpius, come here lad. I want you to meet your sister.” Draco reached for the boy’s shoulder and pulled him in close for a look.

“Hi. What’s your name?” Scorpius said as he gently put his finger into her sleeping little hand. The baby girl’s finger’s wrapped tightly around Scorpius’s finger and his eyes grew wide at the sight. Her fingers were so tiny and Scorpius looked on as if entranced by her sleeping wonderment.

Draco looked at Hermione, they had not decided on a name as of yet.

“Isis. Her name will be Isis.” Hermione said as she beheld the beautiful woman in the scene depicted in front of her, who held her baby Horus in her arms. The Egyptian goddess, wife of Osirus and mother of all stared down upon them.

“She watched over us just now Draco. I want to name her Isis.” Hermione was full of emotion and Draco nodded in agreement at the chosen name, as he touched his daughters head and kissed her tiny little nose.

The Malfoy’s huddled closely together in the tomb of Osirus beholding their new addition to the family, a beautiful baby girl with Hermione’s features and Draco’s light skin and hair.

“Welcome to the world Isis.” Draco said beaming into his daughter’s newly opened eyes as Hermione cradled the suckling baby to her breast.

Let me know if I should finish this story, if you like it so far. Obviously this cheeriness isn’t going to last forever, and Draco will be heading to a dark place in this story. Let me know by reviewing, and as always thanks!
