The Cannon's won the match. Draco had spent the last two evenings paying off his lost bet and convincing Ginny that Beth was lying. Ginny knew it the moment the words left Beth's mouth. The truth be told, Ginny was keeping Draco far to busy sexually for him to perform somewhere else. But her mood swings were getting the best of her, and worked great for an excuse too. Beth did try to sue over the hexing, but she stopped cold. When the story hit the Prophet, women wrote in with overwhelming support for Ginny. Her parlor was still loaded with owls she wanted to answer.

She had been in a great mood the last couple of days so he thought the timing good for discussing baby names. He walked into their bedroom with an Astronomy book. Ginny is sitting up on the bed. It amazes him how much he desires to touch a woman with a giant belly, seeing her sends a jolt to his groin. He shakes it off. They need to discuss names. If all goes well, he can enjoy her body later. Ginny looks at the book in his hand. "Well, you decided it was time we discussed names?" He gives her a puzzled look. "You're mother told me about both the Malfoy and Black families naming traditions. I don't have a problem with either." She pats the bed. He sits down. "I like Carina or Cassiopeia for a girl. As long as we can call Cassiopeia, Cassie for short."

"Carina Ginevra Malfoy," Draco says the name three times looking at Ginny. "I like it. What about you?"

"I agree. This is going to be easy." Ginny kisses his cheek. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, the second. If it's a boy. We can call him Dray, or Deuce."

"No, Gin. He gets my first name as his middle."

"Or he can have your whole name according to your mother."

"I know. I don't want him to have my fill name. Cygnus Draco Malfoy. After my maternal Grandfather."

"Cygnus!" She turns up her nose. "Never. I want to name him after you."

"We will, his middle name will be Draco. Now, let's look for a first name we both agree with."

She starts to sob and he pulls her close as much to comfort her as to get her farther away from her wand. "But I want to…. Name… Him…. Draco Lucius Malfoy just like you. Because I… Love…. You." She continued to sob.

"I love you too, Gin. But I'll never agree to name him that." She sobbed louder. "Have a good cry and get it out Luv. Tears aren't going to change my mind this time."

She cried for 45 minutes, while also trying to change his mind. Once she was done, it only took them one hour to agree on the name Orion Draco Malfoy.

Ginny kept the Astronomy book in her nightstand. She enjoyed looking at it and had

written down names she liked for the other two children they planned on having. Draco chuckled at her when she told him. Telling her, she was getting a little ahead of herself. The last week seemed to crawl by for Ginny it was Thursday, December 12th, and if she didn't go into labor by the 14th, Padma would perform a spell to start it. She would have to give birth at St. Mungo's if that needed to be done. Padma had told them that sex can help labor get started, Draco was happy to do his part. She excitedly waited for Draco to come home tonight. She had found a name in the astronomy book that she thought was better if it was a boy. He had told her, he may be late, he planned on finishing things up so he could spend the next two weeks at home with her.

She never felt him join her in their bed, but when she awoke at 7 am he was there. She ran her hands across his chest, then through his hair. Her hormones had given her an appetite for him that couldn't be satisfied. And the thought of having to wait two to four weeks after the birth had her waiting to get all that she could now. She thought how lucky she was to be a witch. Hermione had told her muggle women had to wait 6 to 8 weeks after birth before resuming relations with their husbands. She ran her hands down her husband's side. Her hands hit the waistband of his pajama bottoms. She places her right hand into the bottoms, and leans up to kiss him. Her lips had just touched his when his hand goes to the back of her head and pulls her into a searing kiss. When he releases her, she is breathless.

"And just what do you think you're doing witch?"

"I was trying to get a Good-Morning Luv Shag."

He smiles at her. His hands start caress her breasts, he places light kisses on her neck while he speaks. "If I give you one, will you let me go back to sleep? I didn't get home until 3 am." She sighs has he nibbles on her ears. "Oh, yes Dragon." He chuckles into her neck. "Yes, to what Luv?" He asks as he helps her into the spoon position.

She couldn't believe how energized she was this morning. After a nice love making session with Draco and a half hour nap she headed for the shower. She was thinking about seeing if Narcissa wanted to go shopping or maybe go to the printers and get samples of birth announcements and Christian invitations. She was drying off when her first contraction came. It was very sharp causing her to grab her side and lean against the wall. It passed quickly. She collected herself and put on her bathrobe. She made it to her dressing room before the next one hit. It was still sharp and she was able to sit and breathe through it. She started to brush her hair. Padma said that first babies take time, Molly had told her, she was in labor for 16 hours the first time, Hermione was in labor for 20, and her brothers' wives were all over 18 hours with the first.

She put on a nightgown designed for pregnancy and nursing. Ginny started back to the bed, thinking that she would try to get some rest, or at least cuddle up with Draco. She had only gotten to the doorway when a very strong contraction hit her and she can't contain her scream. "Oh, god!" She grabs her belly.

Draco is awake and across the room in only a couple of steps. "Gin, is it time?" She nods. He carries her to the bed while summoning three house-elves. "Get my wife's mid-witch. Get my mother. Get Molly Weasley." The elves disappear. He lays her on the bed and looks at his watch. "Did they just start Luv?"

"NO! It hurts." She grabs her stomach again.

He rubs her stomach, then her back and talks her through the contraction. Once it passes he starts to walk away.

"Draco, don't go! You promised you'd stay!"

"I'll stay, Gin. I only want to put some pants on before our mothers arrive."

Ginny giggles when she looks up. "Well, it was the sight of your bare bum that got us

here."

He puts on his boxers but carries his pants and shirt over to Ginny. Her face starts to show pain. "Try to relax and breathe through it, Luv." She growls at him. "I know, Gin. Easier said then done. Where's your wand?"

Through gritted teeth Ginny says, "Why you scared?"

"Yes!" The frightened look on his face makes Ginny laugh despite the pain. He kisses her cheek and puts on his pants. He gets his shirt on when there's a knock and a very excited Narcissa comes through the door.

The hours seemed to drag for Draco. He was having a hard time seeing Ginny in so much pain. He kept looking at Molly and his mother for reassurance. Padma kept telling both him and Ginny that everything was going well.

"All right Ginny I can see the head. Give me one big push."

"You can do it, Luv. PUSH!" Draco pushes Ginny up into the sitting position as she pushes and the baby's head comes out. It starts to cry instantly. Padma is shocked and tries to clean out the baby's mouth with a small suction ball. Draco and Ginny look at each other and kiss.

Padma shakes her head and talks to the baby. "You're a strong one aren't you? I've never had one cry before the chest came out before. Let me clean this stuff out of your mouth little one." She sucks a little more out of the mouth. "All right Ginny, one more push."

Ginny takes a big breath and pushes. She closes her eyes and leans back. Draco lays her down on the bed never taking his eyes off the baby. He looks very closely before turning his attention to Ginny and kissing her. "It's a boy, Luv. You're brilliant. Bloody brilliant."

"He's perfect Ginny. He's big and very strong." Padma says as she is cleaning the baby. She wraps him in a blanket and hands him to Ginny. Draco moves the blanket away from the baby's face. "Hello, Orion. I'm…"

"NO! Draco. I've changed my mind. I don't want to call him Orion."

"Sssh, we'll talk about it later." He said calmly but inside he was fuming. What was she playing at, he thought.

"Draco, please I wanted to name him Tyl. Tyl Lucius Malfoy. Please." She was

pleading.

Draco looked puzzled, and then smiled. "Tyl, hum." She nods. "After the star in my constellation?"

"Yes, the one closest to the dragon's heart."

He kisses his son on the cheek. "Keep your eyes on her Tyl. Your mummy always figures out how to get her way."
