"Congratulations, Mr. Malfoy. You're pregnant."
The words buzz around Draco's ears. He can't believe what she's saying.
"That's-that's not possible. I'm on my supressents. How can I get pregnant?" Draco was confused. He never missed his supressents and was always careful about them. So, why did this happen?
"Sometimes these supressents don't work." The Healer explained softly, "Especially, when you're near your heat or intercourse with an extremely compatable partner."
Extremely compatable, Draco thought scornfully.
Fuck.
-
Draco apparated home in a trance. As he stepped into his bedroom, he saw Pansy waiting for him on his bed.
"So, what did the Healer say? All okay, right?"
"Nothing is okay, Pansy. My whole existence is doomed." He plopped on the bed beside her, head falling on his hands.
"Uh...you look fine to me." Pansy shrugged.
"No no no," Draco lifted and shook his head frantically, "You don't understand. My life is ruined. Everything I've build is gone."
"Then make me understand you jackass." Pansy said, exasperatingly.
"Pansy, My dear friend," Draco put both his hands on Pansy's shoulders, "I'm pregnant."
Pansy blinks at him and then, "WHAT?!"
"I-I, it just happened okay! I'm sorry."
"You're sorry?" Pansy stood up and started pasing around the room, "Oh Merlin, Draco how could you be so irresponsible? You've worked so hard to restore your reputation. Sorry sorry, I'm panicking. I should support you now. Okay, so do you know who the Alpha is?" she asked.
"No." He lied, "I don't know who the Alpha is."
"Stop lying to me, you bastard." Pansy hollered.
"I'm not lying!" he insisted, uselessly.
"Yes you are. You're left eye twitched." she pointed out, "You're lying."
Draco groaned, regretting his long friendship with her, "It's Potter." He mumbled.
"Speak louder Draco. I can't hear anything."
"Potter" he repeated, "It's Potter."
Pansy kept looking at him with a blank look in her face. Suddenly her eyes widened and she gasped, "Merlin's balls! You're serious."
"Of course I'm serious. Why would I lie about this?"
"You lied a minute ago." Pansy points out.
"That was then, this is now." He waves his hand in an act of dismissal, causing Pansy's eyes to twitch in annoyance. "New minute, new me."
"Fuck you. But I guess that's already done now, right. By Potter, of all people. What the fuck were you thinking?"
"That's the problem Pans." Draco says, laying down on the bed and whining, "I wasn't. We both weren't. We were both so drunk and I don't even remember what happened. Just that I woke up next to Potter in his shitty house naked and two weeks later I'm pregnant. I'm both literally and metaphorically fucked."
"So what are you gonna do now? You're gonna tell him?" she asks.
"Nope. No way that's happening." He disagrees instantly.
"What are you thinking of doing Draco?"
"I'll raise it alone." He announces.
"Alone." Pansy says, voice incredibly deadpanned.
"Yeah, how hard could it be?"
-
Turns out it was very, very hard.
Three months into pregnancy and Draco wanted to pull his hair out in frustration. The morning sickness and crazy mood swings were killing him. And he was killing Pansy, Blaise and Theo with his ridiculous cravings.
Working had become harder too. He was showing a bit but that could easily be hidden with his robes. No, the main issue was his swollen legs and sudden bouts of sickness.
The Healer says it's due to the absence of the Alpha. But Draco has done well for the past three months without Potter and he could do the rest too, mo matter what his friends said regarding this.
By the fourth month his health was rapidly worsening. He couldn't eat anything without throwing up, he had fainted twice in one week and had lost too much weight. He had to take leave from his job even though he didn't want to.
By this point, Pansy had enough of his shit.
"You're are writing to Potter right now." Pansy was seething in front of him.
"No I'm not." He refused on e more.
"Why not Draco? I'm so sick of your stupid stubbornness." she yelled.
"I-I can't okay?! What good would come telling him? Do you think he'd be happy? That he is going to have a kid with a Death Eater. No, he'll reject both me and the kid."
Pansy softened at that, sitting beside him on the bed. "Of he doesn't want you or the kid - which is dumb but Gryffindors aren't really popular for their smarts - then we'll think of something else. But right now you're too sick and not telling him wouldn't only endanger you but also the child. Write to him Draco."
Draco knows she's right. But the thought of rejection still scares him. At last he accepts defeat and owls Potter a simple letter.
Potter,
We need to talk.
It's an emergency.
Come to my place at 10:00 am tomorrow.
DLM
Draco couldn't sleep a wink that night. The anxiousness of talking to Potter about this was making him restless.
He never received a reply from Potter. So, in the morning he was silently hoping that The Boy Who Got Him Pregnant would just avoid the letter.
But he wouldn't be Harry Potter if he didn't make his life miserable, would he?
Draco almost jumped out of his skin when he heard someone knock the door. Pansy gave him a weird look and went to open the door.
Soon Potter was striding inside the living room. Just as the rude wanker he was he didn't even greet Draco as he came in. Only stared at Draco's extremely visible bump without a hint of subtlety.
Outside he could hide his bump with robes and Glamours but at home he didn't bother with any of that.
When none of them said anything Pansy rolled her eyes and have them both pointed looks. "I'm going inside my room. You two have a lot to talk about." the she addressed Draco, "Call me if you need anything."
After Pansy leaves, a pregnant silence settles between them (pun not intended). Draco fiddles with the sleeves of his jumper and Potter shuffles uncomfortably.
"Um...so con-congractulations?" in the end Potter breaks the silence.
"Thank you." Draco gupls, trying to gain courage for saying the next worda but Potter talks again.
"So, uh-who's the Alpha?" Potter asks.
"Don't pretent to be stupid Potter. I know you're smart enough to connect the dots." in any other circumstances Draco would give love potion to Umbridge rather than complement Potter but right now he really didn't have the patience for such nonsensical pretense.
"Shit." Potter remarked.
"Exactly." Draco agreed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Potter asked. "It's clearly not new. Why are just saying it now?"
"My health is declining. The Healer says it's due to the absence of the Alpha. So, I decided to own you." Draco explained.
"So-so what? You weren't ever going to tell me otherwise?" when Draco didn't answer Potter let out a harsh laugh, "Are you mental?! How could you not think of telling me? It's my child!"
"With a Death Eater!" he yelled, "It's your child, sure. But it's your child with a Death Eater and the boy who bullied you and your friends all through school. There is no reason for you to want this child. And we're drunk when it happened. I didn't even know if you remembered anything." He rambled.
"Malfoy." Potter's voice was much softer now, "Weren't drunk. We're tipsy at best. When I asked you if you were sure about this you said yes. So making up dumb excuses in your head."
Draco opened his mouth to protest but Potter didn't stop talking, "And cut the crap with the Death Eater talk. You go out for drinks with Ron and 'Mione.
You're friendly with most of our peers. The only one you ever avoid is me. Even that morning you ran away. Then didn't bother to tell me about the pregnancy. Why? And answer truthfully."
"It's difficult." Draco sighed. "Interacting with you is difficult. With the others things slowly settled down. I asked for forgiveness and eventually most of them forgave me.
But our animosity in school was much more intense than my bigotry towards Weasley or Granger." Draco stopped for a while, carefully contemplating his words." I-we're different Potter. Our behavior wasn't normal. Kids don't do that.
And I-I didn't even apologize properly to you. Or thank you for-for helping me during my and mother's trial. I wanted to. Apologize and show my gratitude but I had no idea how to talk to you. And then so much time passed that avoiding you became easier.
Then this happened." He pointed at his bump with his hand, "And I didn't want to hear you reject the child because you had it with a Death Eater.
I was scared of your reaction and hiding was much more easier. But I guess you knowing was inevitable in the end." He shrugged trying to appear nonchalant but the tension on his body gave him away.
Potter didn't say anything for a while. Then he sat down on the love seat beside the armchair, "I was going to ask to to dinner."
Draco was surprised to hear that and clinked at the the man.
"Don't look so shocked. I was. But I woke up and you were gone. Then you relentlessly avoided me in the Ministry. So I thought you didn't want to anything with me. And then you send me a stupid letter with no information whatsoever and I find out that you're pregnant. With my child. Wow." Potter chuckled.
"Well nothing is ever simple with us, is it?" Draco let a little smile creep into his face.
"No, I guess it's not."
"Is the" He clears his throat, "offer for lunch still there?"
"Oh!" Potter immediately perks up, "Yes! It's-it's there of course. Tomorrow?"
"I have an appointment with the Healer tomorrow morning." He smiles at Potter apologically.
"Maybe-maybe we could go together. I can also learn stuff, y'know." Potter bites his loos looking all kinds of unsure.
"S-sure." Potter immediately relaxes. "You can pick me up at 10:30. And then lunch?"
"Then lunch."
They both smile at each other. The future was looking quite different from the one Draco imagined. Maybe he should listen to Pansy more.
