Finding Ourselves (Sequel)

Ch4

(Christmas Chapter continues)

When everyone arrived, Draco was nervous, as was Blaise, but Mr Weasley treated them as his own, Fleur and Draco chatted fashion, Bill and Blaise agonised over the difficulties of parenting and only George was a little cool with them, until he noticed how much they'd matured and changed and they'd apologised to everybody for their mistakes.
Christmas lunch was scrumptious and we all played charades, which took a while for them to get to grips with, but after Harry and I had explained the rules in extreme detail, we had a good solid hour of playing charades before we gave the babies, both unborn and born their presents.

"Here we go Estelle. A mini broom and cuddle bear," Ginny gave her daughter, who crowed delightedly, as did Victoire when she received her gifts.

"Here we are bump. Some presents," Draco spoke softly, kissing my stomach.

He'd gotten a sweet outfit, which was so small and dinky and it looked so dainty and we could adapt it to whichever colour we wanted and do any alterations on it.

"That is adorable Draco. I'm sure baby will love it. Now, give Victoire and Estelle their presents." I prompted, giving Draco our carefully wrapped gifts.

They adored them and the babies were fascinated for hours with them, which gave us grown ups time to socialise and get a closer bond and share true Christmas festivities.

Later on, when the novelty was dying down and the clear sky outside had turned pitch black, Draco and I giggled as we went upstairs and I opened my lingerie box.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw lingerie labelled for each month of my pregnancy, each able to customise if the sizing was ever so slightly off.

"What if something goes wrong? " I said,  voice shaking.

"It won't. We can't think like that." He said fiercely, taking hold of my shoulders.

"It's our job to! What if something terrible happens again? How can we raise a baby in such a world? " I asked him, really scared all of a sudden as a few war flashbacks hit me out of nowhere.

"You've been keeping this to yourself for a while, haven't you? It's good to talk, you know, I know that now. You need to relieve your stress darling, " Draco said soothingly.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me," I panicked, worried.

"It's ok. We all have setbacks. It's not your fault," Draco comforted, kissing me on the cheek.

"I'm so lucky that I have you." I praised him, snuggling closer to him.

"This has been a great Christmas," He commented, wrapping his arms around me.

"Just think. Next year, baby will hopefully be here." I smiled.

"I for one, can't wait," Draco said gently, and we fell asleep, embracing, warm and safe and secure in each other's arms.

A/N: I know this wasn't that good a chapter, sorry. I'm trying to get back into the story properly. Anyways, love you all my BonBons! Love from PotterheadBonBon 💗 💗
