Blaise's P.O.V

Draco wasn't feeling well enough to attend school one morning so I decided to stay back with him so his parents didn't need to miss work. Usually he'd be able to stay by himself but because he was pregnant, I thought it'd be best that someone kept an eye on him. Plus I was pretty much run down from working and school and the parenting class that I needed a break.

I was sitting on the sofa with the recliner out as Draco's head was in my lap as he lied on his side. We were watching a film as I gently rubbed his belly. He said he was just feeling a bit tired and worn down so it wasn't anything too serious.

"Blaise, can you do me a favor?" He asked and I hummed in answering. "Can you get me some tea please? And maybe something to eat? I'm a bit hungry."

"Yeah sure." I kissed his head and he sat up a bit allowing me to get off the couch. Once I did, he curled up on the arm of the sofa watching the film.

I wandered into the kitchen and over to the kettle to put some water in it. After that, I put it on the stove to warm up before going into the fridge to get some apple sauce.

When the kettle went off, I got the tea and a mug before returning to Draco. He smiled when he saw me and sat up.

"Guess what." He told me and I furrowed my brow.

"What?" I asked and he gave me this wide grin.

"I felt the baby move." He told me and I gasped nearly dropping the mug.

"What?" He took the items from me and placed them on the table. He grabbed my hand and gently put it on his belly just above his belly button.

"I know you can't feel it just yet but it's right here." He told me with a smile. "It's like he's got the hiccups." He giggled.

"Oh honeybee." I pulled my hand away and kissed his lips. "That's fantastic. Our baby is growing." I said.

"We've got like four and a half months left... then we'll have a real life human." He said and then his eyes started to water. I knew he wasn't upset but happy so I just smiled and rubbed my nose against his.

"I'm so proud of you Draco, you're doing so well growing our child." I told him and he sniffled bringing me down for a kiss. I did and when we pulled, we resumed our position from before except he sat up so he could eat. He had his head on my shoulder as I had an arm around him.

Not long after he ate, he fell asleep so I just gently placed him in my lap before kissing his forehead. He looked peaceful and I grinned knowing that for now, he was but sometimes that doesn't last.

It started one Thursday morning when Draco got caught in the hallway by a few people. As we said, there were people that were supportive of us but not everyone.

He had been alone when he was cornered by a few people older than us. They called him names and told him that I was disgusted by him. That I was only with him because he was pregnant and once the baby was born, I'd leave him. And take the baby with me.

He wouldn't have usually listened to him but his hormones got the best of him and he secluded himself into our hideout. I only found out that he wasn't going to classes from Hermione when she asked me if I had seen him. When I found him, he was hysterical and he even got a good slap in so I had to diffuse the situation. I picked him up and took him to the nurse until he calmed down. Once he did, he just looked so miserable.

So that's where we were, in the nurse's office waiting for Draco's mum to pick him up since he didn't want me to take him home.

"Draco, you know what they're saying isn't true." I said softly. He was curled up on one of the beds as I sat on the edge. I gently put my hand on his leg but he swatted it off. "I'm not going to leave you. Or take the baby away from you."
"I wanna go home." Is all he said.

"I know, your mum is on her way." I sighed. He just squeezed his eyes shut and rubbed his belly. "Is the baby doing okay?"

"Why do you care?" He hissed.

"Well I care about you and the baby so I do." I told him and he just curled more into himself. I waited for few minutes before I placed my hand back on his leg and gently ran my hand across it. He didn't push me away this time and before I knew it, he was hugged me tightly.

"I-I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it's okay." I gently ran my hands through his hair as he sniffled into my neck. "I know, it's the hormones but you gotta remember that I love you and I will not leave you." I promised and then rubbed his back.

"Mister Malfoy, your mum is here." The nurse told us. "Mister Zabini, please go back to class." He told me and I sighed.

"Okay." Draco and I stood up. I walked him to his mum and instead of a kiss goodbye, he just hugged me tightly. I wrapped my arms around him and then kissed his temple. "Rest up Draco, I'll talk to you later." He nodded and then pulled away. I nodded my head once at his mum before departing to my next class.

Draco's P.O.V

After my little break down, my mum took me home and told me to take a hot bubble bath in her room. I was pretty happy about it because my parent's bathtub was a Jacuzzi type and it had bubbles.

I walked settled myself down and closed my eyes allowing my head to rest against the wall. I didn't fall asleep but allowed myself to get lost into my memories.

"Come on honeyb-"

"My name is Draco." I rolled my eyes. This guy from my gym class had been bugging me ever since he saw me.

"Okay Draco." He emphasized my name. "Go on a date with me. It'll be worth your while." He promised and I sighed closing my book. I looked at him and then pondered a bit.

"Okay." I shrugged.

"Okay?" He gasped. "Really? You wanna go on a date with me?"
"Yeah, why not? This Friday, pick me up at seven."

We ended up going roller blading and catching a bite to eat. It was a pretty fun time and I enjoyed his company. It was actually where he told me he loved me three months later. And you all know what happened a month after that.

There was a knock at the door and then my mum walked in.

"Hi sweetie, how are you feeling?" She asked. She placed a mug on the little ledge next to me and then ran a hand through my hair.

"I feel better." I told her and she grinned.

"Well good. You can't get all that upset all the time, it isn't good for the baby." She told me. "I brought you some hot chocolate." She pointed to the mug that I picked up.

"Thank you and I know I can't but they were bullying me."

"I know... maybe we should homeschool you from now on, would you like that?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No, I want to stay in school. I get to see Mione and Luna." I sighed.

"Okay but it's not good to get that upset. I will have a talk with your school, understood? I will not tolerate bullying especially if it's happening to my baby." She informed me and I sighed knowing there was no way of getting out of it. She just ran her hand through my hair and kissed my forehead. "You know I'm only doing this because I love you." She told me.

"I know."

"Good, now rinse off and take a nap, you'll need the rest." She said. "I'll make your favorite for dinner."

"Thanks mum." She smiled before leaving the room. I got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked out of my parents' bedroom, down the hall to mine, and then dropped the towel before getting dressed it sweats.

Crawling into bed, I fell into a deep sleep only waking up when Blaise crawled into the bed with me. He kissed my face gently and I grinned sleepily.

"Hi." I whispered.

"Hello." He grinned. "How was your nap?"

"It was great... Look I'm sorry about be-" I started but he cut me off.

"Don't be. I understand." He leaned in and rubbed his nose against mine. "Are you feeling better? The baby is okay?"

"The baby is alright." I told him grabbing his hand. I placed his on my bump just above my belly button. "He's got the hiccups again."

"Does she?" He smirked and I rolled my eyes with a smile.

"Shut your trap." I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. When I pulled away, he grinned.

"I actually came up here to tell you that dinner is ready, so care to accompany me downstairs?" He asked.

"You're staying for dinner?" I asked stupidly and he grinned.

"Of course and I am gonna sleep over if you're feeling up to it." He said to me and I wrapped my arm around him to give him a side hug.

"Of course I am." I informed him. "Come on, I'm starving." I told him so we got up and he grabbed my hand. I grinned as we walked out of my room and down the stairs to go down to the dining area.

Mum wasn't lying when she said she'd make my favorite meal. There was baked chicken and some roasted potatoes.

"Smells great mum." I sniffed and she grinned.

"Thank you baby, there's also an apple pie for dessert." She told me and I gasped.

"Thank you mama."

"You're welcome baby, come sit and eat." She told me and I did. I sat at one side of the table, Blaise sat next to me as my mother and father took the other end.

My mother must have informed my father as to what happened during school because he was being extra cautious. He was being nice and tried to make me laugh... well he did make me laugh.

Blaise was also being extra sweet and I believe it was because he didn't want me to slap him again. Or he was afraid of the baby being hurt because too much stress wouldn't be good.

So after dinner and dessert, Blaise and I were sitting on the couch cuddling. I had already decided to take another day off until my mum got the air cleared.

"I love you." I disclosed to Blaise and he turned to me. He grinned at me and kissed my lips gently.

"I love you, honeybee." He pecked my lips. "Next time something like today happens, come fine me and I will take of it, deal?" His voice was very serious so I just nodded and grinned slightly.

"Deal."
