warnings: tad bit of angst, crappy parents, hurt/comfort, fluff.
Rain was pouring down all around you as you raced towards your flat after a long day of work.
Your flat is on the second floor of the building so you made a run for it up the stairs and straight for your front door.
After rummaging through your work bag for your keys you finally unlocked the door and were startled to see Ginny Potter standing in your dimly lit living room.
It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary to see Ginny at your home, the Potter’s have been by your side through so much lately you truly have no idea where you’d be without them. Ginny had always been one of your best friends so when she found out you were about to be a single mother without a job she of course offered her help.
Harry and herself had set you up with an apartment 15 minutes from their home, Harry even got you a job at the Ministry to help with your bills. Ginny being an experienced mother already helped you in many ways to prepare for your child.
“Ginny? My God you almost gave me a heart attack.” you laughed as you sat your bags down and flipped on the kitchen lights.
“So what’s up?” you asked her as you rummaged through the fridge trying to find something to eat.
Ginny had already sat herself down at the breakfast bar across from where you stood, “I know we just saw each other this morning but I had to come quick because this couldn’t wait.”
Your head quickly spun around to face her, “What can’t wait?”
Ginny sighed roughly before continuing, “It’s Draco. He’s at our house—
“I’m sorry but did you just say Draco Malfoy is at your house?” you interrupted her.
“Well if you’d let me finish you would’ve heard the rest.” She said and you nodded at her to continue. “He came looking for you Y/n. He kept rambling about how he’s been back looking for you and that it’s driving him crazy not knowing where you’ve been.”
Your face went flush, “He’s been back?”
“I guess so, and he’s been spending all of his time looking for you. I won’t lie to you Y/n, he’s drunk right now and the only thing he keeps saying is how he needs you. I wouldn’t have came if it wasn’t necessary, he just doesn’t want anyone else but you and we can’t seem to help him no matter how hard we try.” Ginny did her best to explain.
You felt like you were going to break out in a cold sweat any second now, “I-I don’t where I’d start Ginny. He has zero clue about all of this.” you gestured to your pregnant belly, “And I haven’t seen him in over 5 months, what would I even say to him?”
“You don’t need to worry about that okay? Your showing just enough that we can still hide it with an oversized jumper and some sweatpants. All you need to focus on right now is speaking with Draco, I know you don’t want to but I think he needs you Y/n.” Ginny explained.
You exhaled sharply as you thought about the many possibilities of how this could go, “Alright, I’ll change and we’ll go.”
When you arrived at the Potter’s home your feet stayed planted to the ground before you. “Y/n are you coming?” Ginny asked as she opened her front door.
Feeling the bile crawl up your throat you hesitated for a moment, “Y-yeah, yeah of course.” You bit your lip to hold back the bile in your mouth as you stepped into their home.
“Here let me take your coat and I’ll start us some tea.” Ginny told you as she shook your coat off of you and hurried away to the kitchen.
“Y/n? Oh I was really hoping you’d come.” Harry said to you as he exited the living room.
“Y-yeah. So where um, where is Draco?”
“He’s upstairs at the moment. I took him to our guest room hoping he’d sleep it off but that was only an hour ago, I bet he’s still awake up there.” Harry let you know.
You nodded at him before looking up at the dim lit stairwell and hesitantly making your ascend up the steps.
You stopped in front of the guest bedroom, you closed your eyes for a moment trying to prepare yourself to go in. You took a deep breath and turned the door knob which to your dismay revealed an intoxicated Draco Malfoy tossed in the sheets.
“Draco?” you whispered, “Draco are you awake?”
A barley conscious Draco jolted up from the bed, “Huh? Y-yeah I’m up what’s wro— Oh my god Y/n is that you?” He was shocked to see you standing before him nonetheless.
“W-what are you doing here?”
You moved closer to the end of the bed he was still sat in, “I came to see you. Ginny was over at my place earlier and she said I was needed here.”
You could see he looked ashamed, “Oh God, I’m so sorry Y/n she shouldn’t have bothered you with this.” Draco tried apologizing as he ran his hands through his messy blonde locks.
You sighed softly, “She didn’t bother me at all. She said you needed me, so here I am.”
He raised an eyebrow at you, “And you actually came?”
“Well yeah, I’m standing right here aren’t I?” you said, crossing your arms in front of your chest.
“I guess you’re right.” he agreed.
Your eyes narrowed in on the man before you, it had been far too long since you’ve seen that beautiful face. “So what’s going on Draco? Why’d you come looking for me now?”
“My mother told me everything.” He explained as your stomach turned.
“Yeah, she told me how she basically threatened your life. How her and my father made sure you were out of the picture, made sure I wasn’t able to love you.. or to love our unborn child.” Draco told you at the same time he wiped few tears away with his sleeve.
Your eyes went wide at his words, “So you know everything?”
“I do. She told me the entirety of it about two weeks ago and I’ve been looking for you ever since.”
Your heart dropped, “Draco I’m so—
“Don’t. Just- just hold on.” He was saying as he got out of bed, “I’m sorry I’m such a mess.” He apologized while attempting to fix his messy hair and unbuttoned shirt.
He stood before you staring at you in astonishment, “It’s amazing to see you Y/n.”
You smiled faintly at him feeling your cheeks heat up, “You too Draco.”
He exhaled slowly, “God Y/n, I thought you wanted nothing to do with me. I thought you had moved away and started a whole new life.” Draco told you as his eyes began to water once more.
You gasped at the idea of Draco thinking you didn’t want him. “Draco, I’m so sorry. I-I thought I had no choice but to stay away from you, if I would’ve just realized your parents were lying then may—
“Stop, don’t do that.” He interrupted taking a few steps closer, you could see his fist clenched at his side in an effort to stop himself from reaching out for you. “Please don’t try to blame yourself. I should’ve looked harder for you, I just can’t believe you were still here the entire time.”
You let out a deep breath, “I know, but you couldn’t have known the truth.”
Draco nodded as he looked at you once again, but this time really looked at you. “Y/n, y-your belly it’s so, so—
“Well yes but you are absolutely glowing. I just can’t believe that’s my baby in there.” Draco nervously said.
Draco’s mouth went wide, “Did you just say he?”
You could feel your heart flutter at his excitement. “I did.” you assured him.
“Oh. My. God. Wow, I-I have a son?” Tears brimmed at his eyes as he grinned ear to ear.
You nodded back at Draco, “I was thinking of naming him Scorpius.”
“Y-you remembered?” He could barley say between soft sniffles.
You smiled to yourself, “Of course I did. I just know he’s going to have your gorgeous blue eyes.”
Draco slowly approached you with caution until he saw that look in your eyes, the one that told him he never even had to ask your permission in the first place.
Gently he placed his hands on your belly softly caressing the womb that protected his son. “So perfect.” He whispered. “I can’t wait to meet you.” Draco told the little boy you were carrying.
Without warning his tender hands moved from your stomach to around your waist. Draco pulled you in close kissing you like it was yesterday. It was an intense kiss that made your entire body warm, his lips moved against yours like lightning and you were lost in him once again.
You both finally pulled away from each other to catch a breath when Draco gently cradled your face in his hands, “I love you, and before you say anything you don’t have to say it back. I just need you to know that okay? I need you to know that I love you and I’ve never stopped. I will never ever stop loving you and our son.”
You placed your hands on top of his own, “Well I do have something to say.” You told him as Draco could feel his palms turning clammy and his pulse race against time.
“I love you too.” you said with a beaming grin that Draco immediately reciprocated.
Without warning Draco had swooped you up into his arms and carried you to the bed, gently placing you on it.
You laid back against the sheets as Draco stared at you from above. “My beautiful, beautiful girl.” Draco kept repeating as he softly caressed your face. “My perfect girl carrying our perfect baby.” Draco cooed, his hands gently rubbing your belly now.
Watching Draco in awe of you and the baby you created together brought tears to your eyes that you just couldn’t help but let fall.
You smiled through soft sniffles and tears as you observed him only for Draco to notice you as well. “Y/n/n? Baby what’s wrong? Did I do something to upset you?”
“N-no, no of course not” you tried to tell him between soft cries. “I’m happy Draco, I promise these are just the happy tears.” you smiled through them.
Draco let out a soft giggle, “Good, because I am going to do everything in my power to keep you and our boy happy, to keep our beautiful family safe. I adore you Y/n and I am just so beyond grateful I finally found you.”
“Me too Dray, me too.” You smiled at him.
