"Mother."

Narcissa was reading in her study when she heard the familiar voice of her son. It was coming from the West Wing where the guests normally enter through the floo network or apparition. She closes the book and smiles. "I was right, he did come back." She whispers to herself before standing up and leaving her study.

"MOTHER WHERE ARE YOU?"

"I'm in the study dear. I'll come to you." She strides keeping her poise trying to hide the excitement of her son being back. The past few days were miserable, she felt the emptiness of the house more than ever. She wanted to apologize for everything she has done but doesn't know what or how to do it. She's glad he's the one who's taking the bigger leap and apologizing to her.

She greets him. "Draco, glad to see you home." He was a disaster and she knew that was because he was penniless, homeless and disowned. "I accept your apology, dear. I'm ready to take everything back, welcome home." She opened her arms wide for him to enter. He raises one eyebrow at her and shakes his head.

"That's not why I'm here mother."

"What. Are. You. Talking. About?" She felt the anger boil inside her.

"Mother, we need to talk."

"ABOUT WHAT DRACO?" She yells at him. She could smell the alcohol oozing off of him.

"Mother, you need to calm down and sit." Draco points at the chair. Narcissa grunts restraining her anger and does as she was told. "Mother... I have a son."

"Ha! Don't tell me you got that mudblood pregnant boy!" She laughs.

"But I did"

"Foolish, tsk tsk. That can be fixed. Have her abort it." She scoffs.

"No, mother. I have a son and he is seven years old."

Narcissa stops laughing and realizes the seriousness of the topic at hand. She stands slowly. "That's not possible, you haven't seen her since.. you haven't seen her since seven years ago."

"I got her pregnant before I left her." Narcissa's eyes watered. She remembered her own experience. Back in her last year at Hogwarts before she got engaged to Lucius she had a boyfriend who she loved and dreamed of marrying. He was a pureblood, from a well known family too but her family didn't favor him so she hid the secret to everyone including Bellatrix.

"Inigo, you promise not to tell anyone?" Narcissa asked as she laid down in bed with him. They were in the room of requirement hidden from prying eyes. This has been going on for about a month and a half. The two started talking after one quidditch game where they sat right beside each other.

"I won't." The hint of sadness in his voice was enough to startle her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Nothing is wrong." Narcissa sits up right and looks him in the eye. He can never lie to her because she could tell.

"Why do you lie?"

"Well, I was..." Narcissa urged him to continue by rubbing his chest. "Why can't we be official." Narcissa sighs out loud.

"I've explained this to you. My parents will not approve."

"Why not? It's not like I'm muggle born."

"But you denied to request of the Dark Lord." She stops remembering her father's words. Never ever interact with a family who has rejected the Dark Lord. "Your family's life is in danger. My parents will never let me associate with you." Narcissa stands and starts gathering her belongings.

"Narcissa, I love you."

"and I love you too... but I can't." She dresses up. "As much as I want to... " She preps her skirt and fixes her hair before twisting the knob open.

"Hello, Cissa." Her mouth opens in shock as she sees Bellatrix with that stupid smirk on her face.

"Don't tell them." She pleads at her. Closing the door behind her trying to hide whoever it was. "Please, Bella."

"Oh.. but I've already did."

"... she kept the baby?" Narcissa asked Draco

"She did."

"YOU ARE A DISGRACE. I am glad that Bellatrix saw before anybody else did. It's a good thing she always kept an eye on you. You little slut!" Her mother yelled as she cried on the ground curled up into a little ball. "WHAT WOULD THEY SAY? Oh what Lord, what will the Malfoy's think. IF THEY KNEW, If they knew our family pride will burn out. All because of you Narcissa. YOUR STUPID ACTS."

"Dear, don't worry. I've talked to the boy and made sure he will never speak a word about it." Her father came holding his wife trying to calm her down. Bella sat right next to her holding her wand on her belly. Narcissa has been puking and getting headaches often, they were beginning to doubt if she was pregnant or not. They were just waiting for an answer.

"Ahh." Bella gasped and everyone looked at her. Narcissa looked at the tip of Bella's wand which glowed pink. "Cissa, you're pregnant."

"I am..." She stands looking at the wand that glowed pink. She smiled and felt happy. "I am."

"What are you smiling about? This doesn't mean you can get back with him. You're getting that bastard aborted."

Narcissa's tears fell at the realization. Hermione, this girl she's been hating has been through what she had. All the years of being with Lucius' dark mind crowded her thoughts. She stared at the window as tears fell down her eyes. Draco kneeled down in front of her begging her something she couldn't hear, she was too busy remembering.

"Mother please." She turns her attention to her son who was weeping. "Please let me be happy with my family, please don't harm them. Hermione won't let me see my son anymore... she's afraid you'll take him away. Mother please assure me you won't. Mother please." He was crying onto her lap and she felt her heart break.

"I'm... I'm sorry Draco." She holds his arms and makes him look at her eyes. "I... I won't hurt them. I won't hurt your son nor your wife."

"Mother?"

"No... I... I've realized how evil I have become." She stands making him stand too. "I... I want you to get them back. Reassure them that I would never hurt... my grandson. Never Hermione... never."
