chapter 57
Chapter 57
Three weeks later found Draco and Harry sitting on their beds in the guest room that they had been sleeping in since the girls’ pregnancies had progressed to the point where they could no longer share a bed with their husbands without getting uncomfortable.
Harry looked over at Draco and groaned. He was sick and tired of being away from Hermione and he just wanted his daughter to be born soon. He missed his wife and he wanted to be with her again. As he looked over at Draco he realized that he was in the same boat.
“Hey Draco?”
“Yeah Harry?”
“You doing ok?”
“No. I just wish that Ali would have the baby already. I miss holding her at night, but she gets to uncomfortable with me in there. At least the baby quit attacking me.”
“So the power damping potion is working then?”
“Yeah and Severus said that more than likely the baby will have to have it for the first few weeks after he is born to allow him to adjust to life outside the womb.”
“What about Ali? Is she going to be okay after the delivery?”
“Actually Ali will be fine. It’s me that I’m worried about.”
“Why? Are you scared about being a father?”
Draco shook his head. “No that is the one thing that doesn’t worry me. I love Ali and I can’t wait to meet my son for the first time but what I am worried about is how I am going to handle her labor. I hate seeing her in pain and this time it will be my fault.”
Harry burst out laughing. “I thought I was the only one who felt that way. “
Draco smiled in obvious relief “Really?”
“Really.”
Just then their door opened and Jensen peered inside. “My Lords?”
Draco stood up almost dreading it was Jensen coming to tell him Ali was having another strange craving of some type, “Yes Jensen?”
Jensen smiled “It’s time My Lord.”
Draco walked quickly as he could to his and Ali’s room. The closer he got he could hear Ali moaning with soft words of encouragement coming from Hermione. He knocked on their ornate walnut door and waited for it to open. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Oh Merlin Harry you scared me. I didn’t realize that you were behind me.”
“My nephew is being born Draco where else would I be?”
Just then the door opened and both men walked through.
Draco rushed over to his wife lying in bed on his side as Madame Pomfrey massaged her lower back. Ali smiled at him and held out her hand.
“Drac.”
Draco took her hand in his and sat down carefully laying her head in his lap. Running his hands through her hair massaging her scalp as she loved he answered. “Yes Ali?”
“Don’t leave me please?” Ali said fear in her voice.
“Leave you? Why in this world would I ever leave you?”
“Because my body won’t be perfect anymore. I have stretch marks and I’ll be breastfeeding which means that my boobs are going to change and I’m going to be so tired that I won’t give a shit what I look like.”
“Oh Ali. Sweetie I love you and it doesn’t matter to me what changes happen in your body. I won’t care if you don’t have a flat stomach anymore or if your boobs do sag. Those changes are made by our baby and because of that you are still and will always be the perfect woman to me. I fell in love with you, not what you look like.”
Ali turned her head and looked at him hope shining in her eyes “Promise?”
Draco leaned down and kissed her. “Promise.” He said after he lifted his head.
Ali turned then and snuggled closer. Just then a sharp gasp broke the sweet moment.
Harry looked over at Hermione who had been leaning up against him during Ali and Draco’s exchange. “Hun? Are you okay?”
Hermione shook her head “No Harry I think I just went into labor.”
At her words Madame Pomfrey looked up sharply and walked over to her. Raising her wand she quickly ran a scan of Hermione.
“Yes Milady you are in labor also. Please let’s go to your room and lay you down.”
Hermione shook her head. “No. I want to be here.”
Ali echoed that statement. “Madame Pomfrey I want her here to.”
“Milady it’s not safe for the two of you to be in the same room.”
“Why not? If we were at Hogwarts in the hospital wing they would be in the same room.” Harry argued concerned now because if Madame Pomfrey didn’t agree he would have to be in two places at once.
“Well yes Lord Potter-Black but there would be enough beds and I would have curtains.”
Draco laughed and grabbed his wand transfiguring the chair next to his and Ali’s bed into a bed large enough for Hermione to lay comfortably in and yet still have room for Harry to be with her.
Madame Pomfrey looked at him in amazement.
Draco smirked and raising one eyebrow he said “What? I may not be as powerful as my wife or brother-in-law but I wasn’t the best in transfiguration for nothing.”
Pomfrey shook her head. “Well Lord Malfoy-VanLint between you and Lady Malfoy-VanLint you will have one of the most powerful wizards our world has ever seen. If I had to guess at his power I would say that he will be as powerful if not more powerful then Lord Potter-Black.”
Harry grinned at them as he was helping Hermione into the bed. “Thanks Draco just what I wanted, to be told that a baby is as powerful as me.”
Draco looked over at him and smiled. “Finally!”
Ali looked between Harry and Draco. “Finally what Drac?”
Draco smirked letting a hint of the old Malfoy come through. “I finally beat Potter at something and all it took was knocking up his sister. If only I had thought of that sooner.”
Harry smirked back and said “Malfoy if you had knocked her up sooner I would have YOUR bits hanging on my wall.”
Ali laughed and said jokingly “Then it’s a good thing you turned me down that day in my room isn’t it Drac?”
Draco leaned down and whispered in her ear. “Had I known then what I know now I wouldn’t have.”
Ali took his hand and kissed it as a contraction coursed through her body. As she groaned in pain Pomfrey came running over to check on her. Waving her wand she announced “You are ready to push Milady. Lord Malfoy-VanLint if you could support her while she leans against you I am going to have her push.”
Draco nodded as Ali sat up and leaned against him. Intertwining his fingers with hers he placed his arms around her cradling her body. As the next contraction hit Pomfrey instructed Ali to push. As she counted to ten Ali struggled to push her son out of her body. After what seemed like hours but was only a few minutes a loud scream was heard. Pomfrey smiled and stood holding a squirming bundle. Wrapping the baby in a heated blanket she placed him in his parent’s arms.
Ali looked down at her son as tears ran down her face. Draco joined her in crying as he kissed the top of her head.
“He is so beautiful Ali.”
Draco was right. He had his father’s platinum hair and his mother’s lightly tanned skin. He yawned hugely and opened his eyes revealing eyes of a brilliant silver green.
Ali looked over at Pomfrey and asked “I thought that babies had blue eyes when they were born?”
“No Milady only muggle babies have blue eyes that eventually change color. Magical babies are born with their eye color. What is his name?”
Before Ali could answer Hermione screamed from the next bed. Pomfrey checked her over and announced that Hermione was ready as well.
Harry helped Hermione into the same position that Ali had been in and breathed with her as she pushed. Again in what seemed like hours a cry was heard as Hermione pushed her daughter from her body.
