Tara lay awake in the hospital that night, worried sick about Lamark. She knew he didn't mean it, but she couldn't help but wonder...could she possibly be pregnant again? The stomach cramps had started again, but maybe it was her imagination.

The orderly came in and started to clean her room. She looked at him, then at the wall. She didn't really feel like talking.

"I'm sorry to hear what happened to you, Mrs. Malfoy." The orderly said from underneath his hat.

"Thank you. I'll be fine."

"Do you ever wish you could talk to the guy who did that to you?" He asked, washing the walls.

"Sometimes."

"What would you say? You don't have to answer." He said quickly, not wanting to offend her.

"I'd....probably say that it's alright. And not to worry about it. Because I'm fine."

"Thank you Tara." Lamark said, pulling off the hat. Tara jumped ten feet off her bed.

"Lamark! What on earth are you doing here? If Draco finds out he'll kill you! He's serious about it too! Oh Lamark...why did you come back?"

"Because I just had to apologize! I was drunk out of my mind! I just felt like...my whole world was ending, and there was nothing I could do about it." Lamark knelt down next to Tara.

"Lamark, I forgive you, but Draco won't! He's looking for you, now! He wants to kill you, and I don't think I'll be able to-"

"Stop him? Of course you would. You're his wife, the most important thing in his life. If anyone can stop him, you can. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because I need your forgiveness....and Draco's."

"You'll never get Draco's, but mine you'll have." She kissed him on top of the head. "Where's Jeremy?"

"With his grandmother. Mrs. Granger was very happy to look out for him. When do you think Draco'll be back?"

"I'm not sure. Sit and rest Lamark." Tara patted his hand, then the chair next to her.

*****

Draco sat on a bus stop bench and thought hard. He had been searching for hours, and no sign of him anywhere.

"Where could he be?" Draco asked himself. He wasn't at his house, Draco's house, the Ministry, the Granger home (although Jeremy had been.), and he wasn't at any of the local pubs.

"WHere could who be?" A small buy asked Draco. Startled, Draco started, but looked at him anyway.

"No one you know, I'm sure."

"Maybe."

"He's tall, got brown hair, brown eyes, a little scar on his hand." Draco described Lamark.

"I did see him. He works in St. Mungo's." The boy said matter-of-factly. Draco smiled.

"Does he now? Where does he work exactly?"

"The maternity ward."

"That's what I thought." Draco muttered. He got up and sprinted towards St. Mungo's. He was finally going to get his revenge.

Chapter 16

Draco burst through the doors of the ward and nearly ran to where Tara’s room was. He was willing to bet anything that’s where he’d find him…

And he was right. Draco ripped the door open and went in.

“Draco! Now now Draco please don’t!,” Tara yelled, trying to get up.

But the doctors had her on magical bed rest, so she couldn’t get up.

“This is between me and Lamark,” Draco said through gritted teeth.

He forcefully grabbed Lamark’s arm and apparated them both to a proper place to duel. Draco flung Lamark to the ground.

“HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK OF TOUCHING MY WIFE LIKE THAT!,” Draco exclaimed, kicking Lamark in the ribs.

Lamark winced in pain and slowly stood up. Draco flung his wand so the tip of it was at the tip of Lamark’s nose.

“I was drunk…I couldn’t help it…I’m so-,” he began, but he was cut off by Draco’s fist connecting to his nose.

He felt his nose bone shatter and blood poured down the front of his clothes.

“Please…let me explain,” Lamark begged.

“There’s nothing to explain,” Draco spat.

And just when Draco yelled ‘Avada kedava’, Lamark yelled ‘crucio’. The two curses became intertwined, blocking the other curse at the middle. Green sparks flew from Draco’s wand and red ones came forth from Lamark’s wand. The two stood there, holding their wands, trying to break the shield that had formed between them. Neither knew how the shield had appeared.

“Tara!,” Draco exclaimed when he realized his wife had come.

Lamark looked over and the shield was somehow gone. Draco’s curse went flying through the air, stabbing Lamark right in his heart. Lamark crumpled to the ground, a lifeless, blank stare in his open eyes. Lamark’s curse hit Draco too and he fell to the ground, withering in pain, screaming loudly. Tara tried to remove the curse, but somehow it stuck to Draco. She flung herself at Draco and held him tight, apparating him to St. Mungo’s.

*****

Tara sat at a table in the eating room of the hospital. She had a cup of coffee in one hand and a blank, tired expression on her face. She was staring out into space, the dark circles under her eyes seeming to become more prominent by the minute.

“Mrs. Malfoy?,” a doctor asked.

Tara’s eyes shot up to meet those of one of the doctors.

“Mr. Malfoy is in a terrible state. It took us a long time to remove the curse, and it hurt him very badly. I think he will be fine, but it will take some time. As for Mr. Donaldson…I’m sorry,” the doctor said, lowering his head.

Tears fell down Tara’s cheeks. “I tried. What I didn’t want to happen happened, and it’s all my fault…I promised Hermione…”

“Ma’am, none of this is your fault. I know you’ve been stressed lately, but when something like this happens, it’s only the fault of those who did it,” the doctor said, patting Tara’s arm.

“May I go see my husband?,” Tara asked.

The doctor nodded and moved over, letting Tara by.

She walked into the small, white room and went over to the bed. Draco’s skin had a gray tint to it, and his hair was a mess. His eyes had a purple swollen look to them, but his breathing was even, almost unnoticeable. A couple more tears fell down Tara’s cheeks.

She gently rested her hand on Draco’s. He stirred a little bit, but didn’t wake. Tara leaned down and softly kissed his lips.

“I’m sorry Draco,” she whispered, softly crying. “I’m so sorry…”

Moxie · 10-27-2007, 08:40 PM

Tara came back to see her Draco every day for a week and a day. Finally, the doctors pronounced him well enough to go home. So Tara made the move back into the house. After a few days of more bed rest, Draco was moved to the couch downstairs. It was very tense in thier house since the death of Hermione's husband. Even though Draco knew it wasn't Tara's fault, he was sullen and wouldn't speak to her. Tara hid her hurt by showering Isabella with attention.

One day, she was feeding Bella when there was a knock at the door. She put the baby down and went to the door, passing Draco on the couch. He was reading a newspaper and refused to make eye-contact with her. Tara's eyes brimmed with tears, but she forced them down. She opened the door, trying to smile.

"May I help you?"

"I sure hope so." The speaker was a young man in his early thirties. He had jet black hair, with shiny black eyes. He was wringing his hat in his hands, and looked nervous. "My name's Mark Sandler."

"Well, how may I begin to help you Mark Sandler?" Tara smiled. "I'd offer to let you in, but my husband isn't feeling well."

"That's alright. I can't stay long today. Mrs. Malfoy, I'm from the Magical Child Welfare Board. I understand you were aquainted with the late Donaldson family?"

"I...I was." Tara said faintly.

"Then you must be aware that their child is now an orphan, correct?"

"Yes..."

"Well, we would like for you and possibly your husband to attend a meeting about the child in question. Jeremy Donaldson, if he doesn't have a home, will be put up for adoption." Mark tipped his hat, and turned to leave.

"Wait! When's the meeting?" Tara stopped him. He turned.

"Next week, at the Ministry of Magic. Just say your here for the Donaldson Hearing. They'll show you where to go. Goodbye Mrs. Malfoy." With a crack, he was gone. Tara stared at the place where he was last, then closed the door.

"Who was that?" Draco asked sharply, almost as if he loathed talking to his wife. Tara didn't look at him, but the floor.

"Mr. Sandler. We're to go to a hearing about....about Jeremy."

"What about him?"

"Whether or not he has family, if he's going up for adoption or not. Draco!" Tara broke down weeping. "We can't let Jeremy go to some muggle family! We just can't!"

"Stop that miserable mewling." Draco slowly got up from the couch, and groaned with slight pain. "Don't you start saying it-"

"Draco, we should adopt him!" Tara blurted out. Draco reached for his cane, and leaned on it heavily.

"Adopt Jeremy. Adopt the son of the man who raped you? Have you forgotten so quickly? Because," Draco waved his cane, "I have not."

"Draco, I haven't forgotten, trust me. But he was Hermione's child too. Hermione Granger. My best friend. Your ex-girlfriend. The one who brought us together!" Tara pleaded from her spot on the ground. Draco shuddered.

"Tara, I'm not ready to discuss having another child in this house!"

"It'd only be one more! It's only Isabella right now! We can afford another child!" Tara argued. "Please Draco! PLEASE!"

"Tara, you haven't even checked to see if....if that creature impregnated you! What if you're carrying? That'd be THREE mouths to feed!" Draco snapped. He walked clumsily away, leaning on the cane.

"I'll show you! I'll go now!" Tara apparated away.

*****

"Why, Mrs. Malfoy! What a suprise! Is everything alright with Bella?" The doctor asked as she was seen into the room.

"It's fine doctor. I was wondering, can you run a quick check to see if I'm carrying another child?" Tara asked, slightly nervous.

"Of course Mrs. Malfoy. Is soemthing the matter?" He looked slightly concerned as he took a bottle off one of his shelves.

"Not particularly. Just wondering. I was always lousy when it came to things like this." Tara made light of the matter, but she was scared to death. What if she was?

"Drink this, Mrs. Malfoy." He gave her a vial filled with a light blue liquid. She sipped at it, then downed it. She shuddered. "Vile, I know. But if it does what it's supposed to-"

Tara's eyes glowed a light blue, then a dark red. They turned back to their original color.

"That's what I thought. Yep Mrs. Malfoy, you're pregnant." Tara's hopes fell. She could hear the crash against the floor.

"Really?"

"Yes ma'am. Is there anything else?" He put the vial in the garbage and turned to her.

"Nothing.....nothing." Tara apparated away, crying. Now what? Who's child was it? Was it her Draco's? Or....someone elses?

Sorry that took forever!

Love
.:Adrienne:.

Little Miss Sunshine · 11-02-2007, 09:21 PM

when something like that happens to a girl, and she is married or has a boyfriend, the boy usually gets mad. he feels bad because he couldnt stop it, or help her, so it makes him mad to look at her, because every time he looks at her, its like looking at defeat. thats why Draco is mad.

Little Miss Sunshine · 11-03-2007, 02:50 PM

hey guys, the final post will come later today. but while you're waiting, go check out my new FF, Whatever It Takes! Thanx!

Chapter 18-The End

Tara paced in Isabella’s bedroom, way too scared to tell Draco the news. She had no idea how he would possibly take it. The baby HAD to be Draco’s. It just had to.

Tara played with the ring on her left finger. She looked down at it. This was what marked her relationship with Draco. This object said that she was all his, and she had to be honest with him. So Tara took a deep breath and walked out of the room, completely forgetting the sleeping Isabella.

Taking another deep breath, Tara walked down the stairs to find Draco sitting up on the couch, twiddling his thumbs. She took another deep breath and sat down next to him. He moved over a little.

“Draco, stop acting like this! I don’t understand how you could possibly be mad at me WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED TO ME! NOT YOU, ME!,” Tara exclaimed, finally not able to take this anymore.

She stood up and faced him, fire burning in her eyes. Draco quickly rose from his seat as well, ignoring the pain. His rage seemed to give him added strength. He stared into her eyes for the first time since it all happened. And he seemed to soften up. Tears began to fall down his cheeks and he wrapped his arms around Tara’s waist, pulling her close and burying his face in her shoulder. He took a deep breath, inhaling her scent and letting it intoxicate his body and mind like it always did.

“I’m so sorry,” he cried. “Its just…so hard…I mean, I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t help you. When we got married, I vowed to always take care of you and keep you safe. I felt like I broke that promise. I felt like Lamark had more power over you. And it hurt, Tara, it hurt. I never felt so sick with myself, so hopeless, so mall ever before in my life…”

Tara took a deep breath and wrapped her arms around Draco’s neck.

“It’s not your fault,” Tara said. “It just happened. And no one could stop it. I should be saying sorry because I caused you all this pain…”

“No, I’m saying sorry. I’ve been such a jerk to you, when I should have been here for you,” Draco said.

He pulled back and gently kissed her. He could tell from the kiss why she was even there with him.

“So you’re pregnant,” he murmured.

Tara sniffled and nodded, unable to meet his eyes. Draco nodded and took out his wand. He pointed to Tara’s stomach and muttered a few curses even she didn’t know. Draco pulled her shirt up so that her stomach was now revealed. It seemed like her skin was glass and they could see inside to see the baby. A small, little baby was forming. Her stomach glowed, and it showed what the baby would look like when it was older. It had platinum blonde hair and gray eyes. It was a boy.

Both Draco and Tara let out a sigh of relief. He gave her another kiss.

“I guess our honeymoon paid off after all,” Draco joked.

Tara rolled her eyes playfully. “I couldn’t keep you away, I guess…”

Draco laughed. His eyes met hers again, and he knew there was one last thing to resolve.

“I guess we have TWO rooms to set up,” Draco said.

*****

Tara laid Jeremy down in his new bed, and the baby cooed, smiling at Tara and Draco to reveal his teeth-less gums. Tara smiled too. She turned to face Draco.

“Thank you for letting me adopt him,” she said. “This would be harder to handle without him here…”

Draco wrapped his arm around Tara’s waist, still looking down at Jeremy.

“It’s because I love you,” he said simply.

Tara smiled and gave him a kiss. He pulled her so that she was completely in front of him. He rested his hand on her stomach which had grown quickly. The doctor said the baby would be there in a couple of months.

“Julius,” Draco murmured against Tara’s lips.

“What?,” Tara asked.

“I want to name my son Julius,” Draco said.

Tara smiled. “Julius is a great name.”

Draco smiled and kissed her again. Everything was changing, but it was all for the better. Not they could finally have A Better Beginning.
