This is it! The final chapter and now this story is complete! Thank you for sticking with me and waited. I truly can't express how much it means to me 3
Much love to my beta and HuffleBestie, SweetLittleBullet. Couldn't do it without you!

They took things slow. They didn't want to risk ruining anything, especially because Finn, while only a baby still, would be affected of the outcome if things went sour.

The night of their first kiss was spent talking and snogging on the couch until it was nearly 3 in the morning and Finn woke up for his nightly feeding.

She nursed Finn in bed, Draco lying beside her, and they continued talking softly until they eventually fell asleep.

Draco asked Hermione out for the first time on New Year's day, complete with a bouquet of lilies and a box of dark chocolates. Narcissa accepted (with controlled glee) to watch Finn while Draco wined and dined Hermione Granger, openly; publicly.

The papers had a field day.

They didn't care though. They smiled at the articles and even framed a picture where Draco had leaned over the table to kiss Hermione.

They still kept their separate flats, though Draco practically moved into Hermione's.

It wasn't until a month later that Hermione's parents offered to take Finn for one of their date nights and they both felt it was time to try things out in the bedroom.

It went disastrously.

Apparently, seeing Draco hovering over her brought on flashbacks of the night at the manor.

Hermione cried into his shoulder, while they both apologized to each other.

He held her the rest of the night while they slept.

Hermione went back to therapy.

Another month later, they made love for the first time.

A week after that, Draco asked Hermione for her and Finn to move into a place together; just the three of them. Not at the manor, not in either of their current flats (which was starting to feel cramped), but into their own special place.

Draco had been working on expanding the Malfoy business by making more magical apartment buildings and homes within London. The first building done had a penthouse suite that he wanted to make theirs. It boasted of four bedrooms, a large kitchen and family room, plus an outdoor space for Finn to run around - once he learned how to walk that is.

Months went by and their relationship only blossomed.

Yes, they argued at times, as most couples do, but nothing they couldn't talk over later (once they had cooled down) and make up with long kisses, hitched breaths, and whispers of love.

The year seemed to fly by and before they knew it, they were celebrating Finn's first birthday.

"A whole year, I simply cannot believe it," gushed Mrs. Weasley.

They had invited all their friends and family over to their flat and held the party outdoors, thanks to warming charms to keep out the crisp November air.

"I know," Hermione agreed as she watched Finn toddle around the yard, shaking the balloon that was tied with string around his hand. "He was so little then."

"You wouldn't have known that now though," Ginny chuckled as he watched Harry catch Finn and lift him in the air, his chubby legs kicking with delight.

Hermione laughed at the scene and then smiled wider when she saw Draco go over to Harry and the two men talked and laughed together.

"So…" Ginny started as Mrs. Weasley walked off to find her husband. "Any hints on to when he's going to ask you to marry him?"

Hermione smiled and shook her head at her friend. "You know I don't care about that sort of thing. We live together, we have a family together, why do we need a marriage to tell us what we already are?"

"Because weddings are fun to plan," Ginny said playfully.

Harry had finally proposed to Ginny a few months prior and she was in full wedding planning mode.

Hermione rolled eyes but smiled nonetheless. "Tell you what, if Draco ever does propose, I promise I'll let you help plan." Ginny started to squeal. "But you have to realize that may be a long time from now or not at all. We're happy now, just the way things are."

Draco walked over to them then, his eyes only on Hermione and he smiled. He had Finn in his arms now and the toddler reached out for his mother and she took him happily.

"How's my big boy? Having a good time?" she asked.

Draco reached over and ruffled his sons curly, blond hair. "I think so. He's been running around a lot so I think he's finally slowed down enough to do cake and gifts now."

Hermione nodded in agreement and nuzzled her son's cheek. "Are you ready for some cake, Finn?" she asked.

"Ya ya ya" he squealed while bouncing in his mother's arms.

All their friends and family gathered around and sung Happy Birthday to the guest of honor. Finn looked around and smiled at all the people before digging in his chubby hands into the small cake presented to him, smearing frosting all over his face.

"Oh my," Narcissa said, trying to suppress a giggle. "And this is a muggle tradition?"

Hermione's mother, who was standing next to Narcissa, nodded her head and took pictures of her grandson how was now "sharing" his cake with his parents, making a mess on their faces too.

Once the cake was served to everyone else and a few individuals cleaned up, they started the process of opening up presents.

Finn was gifted many gifts, both muggle and magical alike, and while he was busy playing with a new ride-on toy, the adults sat around and talked.

As the party was winding down, Draco stood up and clinked his wand against the glass in his hand, getting everyone's attention.

Draco cleared his throat. "Thank you all for coming today to celebrate Finn's birthday. I especially want to thank Hermione-" he turned to her and held out his hand for her to take, which she obliged as she got up to stand next to him. "-who has been both a wonderful mother and partner in this journey. As I'm sure most of you would agree, no would have ever thought that we'd be in this situation together, let alone madly in love-" he gave Hermione a wink, who blushed as everyone laughed. "-but here we are. And I just wanted to say.." This time, he turned his full body to Hermione and took both of her hands in his. "I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He dipped his hand into the pocket of his trousers and brought out a small black box. Everyone gasped, including Hermione. "I've been holding onto this for a good six months, waiting for the right time to give this to you. I think today is the perfect day, celebrating the time when our son was born, and we first became a family, and now, I want to make it official."

Draco got down on one knee. "Hermione Jean Granger. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?" He opened the box to reveal a simple, yet gorgeous wedding white gold band, adorned with small diamonds that went all the way around with a bigger diamond in the middle.

Hermione smiled as a tear ran down her cheek, and she nodded. "Yes, Draco. Of course I'll be your wife."

Everyone whooped and hollered and Draco stood and picked up Hermione by the waist, twirling her around and giving her a good, hard kiss.

That night, when the guests were gone and Finn was passed out in his room, the newly engaged couple sat on their plush sofa, relaxing after a long day.

They were both reading, enjoying the quiet and each others company, when Draco heard Hermione sniffle.

He looked beside him and saw that she was looking at the ring on her hand and crying.

"Is everything ok, love?" he asked.

Hermione nodded. "Yes, everything is perfect. I'm just so happy." She wiped away her tears. "I don't know why I'm crying though…. Must be the pregnancy hormones."

She watched Draco then, noting when exactly he figured it out. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. "You're pregnant?!"

Hermione smiled, crying again and she nodded. "I just found out this morning. I was going to say something at the party, but I wanted to tell you first."

Draco pulled her in for a kiss. "I can't believe it," he said, kissing her again. "Another baby…"

Hermione nodded. "Yes. We'll have two kids under the age of two… do you think we'll survive it all?" she asked jokingly.

Draco laughed and pulled her close. "If there's anything I've learned this past year… as long as we continue working together, we can do anything."
