Chapter 5: Epilogue

One Year Later…

It was Christmas time once again, and the snow was falling heavily. At this point, the inn didn't have any visitors because of the harsh weather, but business would start to pick up once again in the spring. I was in the kitchen making dinner when I heard a banging on the door.

I walked over to the door, knowing full well who it was, but took my time to open it.

"Hermione! Please! Open up! It's freezing out here!" Draco's voice called.

I opened the door. "Well, it serves you right. You know better than I do how bad these storms get; yet you still went out in that thin little sweater. You're crazy. And anyways, why didn't you just use your key?"

"My hands were too frozen to get them out of my pockets," he said sheepishly.

"Yet they weren't frozen enough to stop you from banging on the door like that?" I asked with my eyebrows raised. "You are unbelievable."

"Come on. Let's get you upstairs and into a nice warm shower." I ushered him upstairs.

When we got up to my room, I quickly went into the bathroom and got the water running. As he was taking a shower, I took his clothes and put them in the laundry room so that I could wash and dry them properly.

After his shower, Draco came out of the bathroom with only jeans on and a towel in his hand. I walked over to him and took the towel from his hands and threw it on the bed. I put my arms around his neck. "Well hello there, Mr. Malfoy"

He kissed me first on the nose and then on the lips, his arms snaking around my waist. "Hi there, Mrs. Malfoy."

Even though we've been married for the last six months, my heart still races whenever he kisses me or touches me in anyway. My hands moved up and down his bare chest and his breathing got harder. "I love you, Draco." I said, and he kissed me again, harder this time. Draco ran his hands over the sides of my body, the curves of my waist, and kissed the side of my neck as I led him to the bed.

The snow really has a way of bringing people together.

A few more years later…

"Mommy! Mommy! Time to wake up!" An overexcited 2-year-old jumped onto the bed.

"Honey, it is very rude to wake someone up this early in the morning. Go wake up your daddy," I said, burying myself under the covers.

"I heard that," Draco grumbled. He opened his eyes and looked at his little princess that was now sitting on his stomach. "Alexia, darling, can't you wait a little longer?"

"No!" She yelled, demandingly. "It's time for presents!"

"Alexia Madison Malfoy, don't you take that tone with us. If you don't behave, Santa's going to take all the presents back." I said sternly.

"I'm sorry, Mommy and Daddy. Can we please open presents now?" She asked. I looked at her. She had her puppy dog eyes and pout on her face. She was absolutely irresistible when she did that. She was just like her father in every way. They both knew my weaknesses. And she had those gorgeous grey-blue eyes and long, wavy, blonde hair. Yup, she was definitely going to be a heartbreaker when she grows up, just like her father.

"Let's go, " I said, resigned. "After we open presents I want you to go take a shower and get dressed. Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny are coming over with Lily and James, and Uncle Ron and Aunt Lavender are coming over with Kevin."

"Are you coming, Daddy?" She asked, ever so sweetly.

"Yes, Princess. I'll be down in a minute." He replied.

We went downstairs and I started pulling out all of Alexia's presents. She really was a spoiled little child. I can thank Draco for that.

Finally, Draco came downstairs in his robe and slippers. I walked over to him and gave him a peck on the lips. "Merry Christmas, love."

"Merry Christmas, beautiful. And beautiful," He added, acknowledging Alexia.

We watched Alexia open her presents and her expressions when she got something that she wanted. She would light up and come over and shower us with hugs and kisses, even if it was something that we didn't give her.

I thought about my life so far. I had a beautiful daughter and an amazing husband. I was so lucky to have them. I remembered the day of Ginny and Harry's wedding, when I thought that I wouldn't meet someone that would love me as much as they do each other, but ultimately I was so very wrong.

Draco pulled out a small box from the pocket of his robe and handed it to me.

"Draco, " I started, but he stopped me.

"Just open it."

I opened it, and inside I found a charm bracelet with pictures of Draco and Alexia. I walked over to him and sat in his lap. "Thank you. I love it," I kissed him.

"Now there's something that I have for you. I have some news to share." I said smiling at him. "I'm pregnant."

Draco's eyes widened in shock. "What?"

"I'm pregnant," I repeated.

"That's wonderful!" He kissed me over and over again. "Another little Malfoy will be running around!" He said, excitement in his eyes.

"Yeah. I don't know how we're going to hand it, with this one here," I motioned to Alexia, "But we'll manage."

During the next couple of hours, we got dressed and finished cooking for the guests that we were expecting. Harry and Ginny arrived first, with two over-excited three-year olds in their arms. As soon as they came in, they set Lily and James down, who ran towards the living room, where Alexia and all the food were.

"It's good to see you guys," I said, giving them both hugs.

"You two, Mia," Harry said warmly. "Where's Draco?"

"He's in the kitchen." I turned to Ginny. "How are you, my dear? You look really tired."

"I am," She said, plopping down on the couch. "Those two move way too fast for me."

Just then, the doorbell rang again. This time it was Lavender and Ron with their son Kevin. He ran to find the other kids as his parents were taking off their coats. I led them into the living room, where all of us sat down and talked about everything and nothing.

I looked over to the kids, who were playing near us. I saw James handing Alexia some toys to play with. It was the most adorable thing I'd ever seen. I smiled and said to Ginny, "Those two would make a gorgeous couple when they get older."

"I know," Ginny said. "James and Alexia Potter. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"

"Are you talking about my daughter?" Draco asked.

"Maybe," I replied, rolling my eyes. Draco could get very protective of us and I thought it was very cute.

"James and Alexia?" Draco asked. "My daughter is not going to date anyone until she's thirty."

"Darling, that's going to be impossible," I said, patting his arm. "Have you looked at her? She's going to be beautiful when she gets older. You're going to have to fight off all the boys that will be lining up at our doorstep who will be begging her for a date."

"She is beautiful, isn't she," He said proudly. "And we're going to have another one just like her," He put his hand on my stomach.

The night progressed quickly, and soon all the kids were falling asleep. They all decided that it was time to get home, and they gathered their kids and decided to take the Floo.

As soon as they were gone, Draco and I put Alexia to bed. We tucked her in and both gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"We love you, darling," I said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Good night, baby," Draco said.

We turned off the lights in her room and retreated to our own. I quickly climbed into bed and Draco joined me moments later. "I love you, Hermione."

"I love you too, Draco." He kissed me.

"Thank you for making my life so wonderful." He gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"I'd do it all over again if I could." I turned off the lights, and let sleep engulf me, bringing dreams and visions of the surely wonderful years to come.
