AN: I'm only doing this because halfway through the fifth chapter the epilogue came to me and wouldn't go away. That and I love my reviewers.

Epilogue

Heavy rain fell on the roof over their heads. A fire was burning quietly in the stone fireplace. Hermione lay on the floor with several soft blankets under her back. The fire sent out tendrils of warmth but Hermione shivered and pulled the blankets up to cover her naked skin. The firelight made the diamond bands on her left hand wink and sparkle. She shifted a little until she felt Draco settle next to her and rub a warm hand across her stomach. She ran her finger tips down his bare chest and leaned in for a scorching kiss. She snuggled close and wished desperately that she could sleep on her stomach again. Draco's hand stopped rubbing when he felt the baby kick against his hand. He smiled down at Hermione and kissed her nose.

"Can you believe it's been ten years?" Hermione asked quietly. Earlier that day they had attended a ten year memorial service at Hogwart's. It had been ten years since that deciding battle. It had been eight years since their marriage. The ministry had never said anything to Draco about the unusual death of his father. It was not to say that they lived quiet lives. In the wizarding world, they were still celebrities but at home they were just Draco and Hermione, a young couple expecting their first child.

"Would you have done anything differently?" Hermione asked him.

"No, not a thing. Well except the whole realizing that I love you part." Draco said ruefully.

"Well, you always were a little slow." Hermione said with a grin.

"Whatever." Draco responded with a familiar smirk.

"Draco, I love you."

"I know. I love you too."

"I know."

The sun had dimmed and the only light came from the fireplace, sending orange beams of warmth across the quietly sleeping couple.

The End, for real this time.
