Your POV
I opened my eyes to see Draco sound asleep. I moved some of his hair out of his face as he stirred in his sleep, opening his eyes to stare into mine. I smiled.
"Good morning," I said, caressing his cheek as a smile formed on his lips.
"Good morning beautiful." He replied, sitting up to get on top of me to press his lips against mine in a slow, passionate kiss. My hands flew to his hair, gently combing his hair with my fingers. We pulled away for a few minutes then we got out of bed to get dressed. "My father wants to talk to me about something." He says, fixing his tie.
"Alright, I hope it's nothing serious," I replied. He gave me a small smile.
"It must be about the business." He shrugged. I nodded and returned the smile.
"I'll see you later then." I wrapped my arms around his neck to kiss him then I went to work.
Draco POV
I walked into Malfoy inc to be greeted by Julia.
"Good morning Mr. Malfoy." She flashed me a smile. I returned the smile.
"Good morning Julia," I replied. "Is my father available?" She looked at her computer.
"He is, let me inform him that you are here." I nodded and took a seat while she went to call my father to inform him that I arrived. "Mr. Malfoy, your father can see you now." I stood up and smiled at her.
"Thank you, Julia. Have a nice day!" I walked to my father's office and knocked.
"Come in." He said. I opened the door and walked in to see him working on his paperwork. He looked up to stare at me. "Ah! Draco, take a seat." I pulled out a chair and sat down.
"You wanted to talk to me," I say. He nodded and opened his drawer.
"Draco, I know that you are married and have a wife to take care of. You must be careful with the enemies." He spoke as I raised an eyebrow.
"Why do you have enemies? What do they want from you?" I asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Draco, I told you about this. They envied our company and our lifestyle." He said as he pulled out a gun. My eyes widen.
"What am I gonna do with that?!" I exclaimed, staring at the gun.
"You need to protect your wife." He said. I gulped and picked up the gun, examining it.
"But I...I don't know how to use a gun..." I said. He chuckled, shaking his head.
"That's why you gotta learn." He smirked. "Someone can harm you or Y/N."
"I'm gonna protect Y/N if I have to," I replied. He smiled at me and stood up to pat my shoulder.
"I also want to give you something." He pulled out a necklace from underneath his shirt, taking the necklace over his head. "This necklace has been passed down throughout generations, your grandfather gave it to me once I was around your age and now it's my turn to give it to you. When you have your children it will be given to the first-born heir. The serpent represents ambition."
He slipped the necklace over my head, placing the serpent's head chain in the center of my chest. My fingers wrapped around the serpent's head, examing the necklace.
"Thank you," I replied, looking at my father who was smiling at me.
"This necklace represents who we are. A true Malfoy." He smirked. "You need to take good care of it, don't let anyone steal it from you." I nodded, not caring about what he just said but staring at the new necklace that I own. The details were beautiful, the fangs were sharp as if I can stab through someone's hand. The silver medal matched my eyes. The green color that was the serpent's eyes looking fierce, determining.
The serpent necklace represents the Malfoy.
Your POV
I was working on the paperwork when there was a knock on the door.
"I'm not available right now!" I called out as I heard the door open but I ignored it.
"Not even your available for your husband?" I looked up to see Draco standing there, arms crossed. I smiled and set down my pencil.
"For you, I'm always available," I say, gesturing for him to take a seat. "How did it go with your father?"
"Well, he wanted to discuss the business." He replied. I nodded then I noticed the new necklace that he was wearing.
"Who gave it to you?" I asked. He looked down and wrapped his hand around it.
"My father." He looked up with a cheeky smile. "It's passed down generations and given to the first heir. Since I'm the only son, it's passed down to me so when I have children this necklace will be given to them." I nodded and went back at looking at the paperwork in front of me.
"I need to finish this paperwork before the end of the day." I sighed, rubbing my eyes as he frowned.
"Can I see them?" He asked. I gave them the paperwork as he looked through them. "Why don't you give them to Joel?"
"Draco just because I'm married to you, doesn't mean I get to use that to get myself out of something," I replied.
"You're right. I just don't want to see you stress out." He says, extending his hand to stroke my cheek. I smiled.
"I can handle this job," I said. I got up and sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. "How about this? When I get home we can have a relaxing evening, just the two of us. Hmm?"
"Sounds perfect." He replied, kissing my lips. I kissed him back, running my hands through his hair then we pulled away. "I'm gonna go visit my mother, I'll see you tonight." I nodded as he pecked my lips one more time.
"Mhmm," I replied, getting off of him as he stood up, leaving the office. I waited for a few minutes before walking out of my office to see Lucius walking out of his office as well. I quickly stopped in my track before following him to his car.
I waited in my car until he drove off then I drove out of the parking lot, making sure not to lose him. I followed him for twenty minutes before reaching a cabin. I parked my car a few feet away from him and turned it off, waiting for what's gonna happen.
After a few minutes of waiting, another car pulled up. I grabbed my phone to take a photo just as Lucius and that same lady shared a passionate kiss before heading inside. I got out of my car and walked down the little hill toward the two cars. I walked around the cabin, hiding behind the wall as the window was wide open.
"Lucius, I'm tired of hiding our relationship." The woman whined.
"Aranza, I told you it can ruin my reputation." Lucius hissed. I leaned over to see Lucius kissing his mistress' neck. "You mean so much more to me than Narcissa." I began videotaping them. I could use this as blackmail.
"You only care about your fucking reputation!" Aranza screamed as she shoved Lucius away. "Narcissa can have you twenty-four-seven while I can have you whenever you feel bloody horny because your excuse of a wife can't satisfy you in bed!"
"Calm down, if I was able to divorce Narcissa just to be with you then I would but I need to think about Draco. He needs to carry on the Malfoy name, he's my only heir." He said in a hushed tone.
"What if I want to bear your child? What if I want to have a baby with you?" She cried.
"You will not get pregnant with my child," Lucius replied. "If I find out you are pregnant with my child then I will make sure you will get rid of that baby or else I will take care of it in my own hands."
"You wouldn't." Aranza stared at him. The shock was written over her face, eyes lingering with fear. Lucius grabbed her neck, choking her a bit.
"Don't underestimate me. You don't know what I'm capable of, Aranza. You think you can dominate me, telling me to leave my wife for you." He scoffed, pressing kisses down her throat. "You think I would love to have another child when I already have Draco. My only heir, my only son who will continue the Malfoy name."
"Draco will always be your son, Narcissa will always be your wife and where do I stand?." She hissed angrily, jabbing at his chest. "What do you think when Narcissa finds out that you are cheating on her with me? I doubt she will ever take you back. She will be the stupid one to know that her faithful husband is nothing but a cheating husband."
Lucius let go of her, shoving her angrily on the bed and standing up, fixing his shirt. She sat up—propping her elbows as she stared at him, breathing heavily.
"You act so clever, so brave. You know what you are playing at." He raised an eyebrow. A smirk appeared on her lips as she stared at him.
"We both are playing with fire, only we both are gonna get burned at the end." Aranza rolled over so she was laying on her stomach. "Admit it, Lucius. You can't resist me, you always come back to me and truth be told I enjoy it every time you look for me. It boosts my ego to know that I'm the one who makes you act like this, to have you by my side, being able to see your desire for me, craving for more that you don't want to ruin your stupid reputation."
"If you love to play the fire then I will burn with you." He replied. I stopped recording, satisfied with the footage I took then I left the cabin, saving the footage.
Narcissa deserves better.
Draco POV
I was with my mother as she was talking about her day.
"Mrs. Malfoy, Astoria is here." The maid replied. I raised an eyebrow at my mother who was confused as well.
"Send her here." My mother replied as the maid nodded.
"What is Astoria doing here?" I asked.
"I have no idea." She replied as Astoria appeared, her eyes landed on me. "Hello Astoria, what brings you here?" My mother gave her a friendly smile.
"I was gonna talk to you but Draco is here so can I talk to him?" My mother glanced at me and nodded, standing up.
"I'll leave you two." She walked away. Astoria stood there, awkwardly.
"What do you need to tell me?" I asked as she took a seat across from me and looked at her hands before looking at me.
"Remember that night." She began. I nodded slowly, wishing that night never occurred. "Well, I'm pregnant." My eyes widened, unable to say anything. Taking in the news, fuck I messed up.
"Are you sure?" I asked. She glared at me.
"Of course, I'm sure Draco!" She shouted. She pulled out from her purse an open envelope and handed it to me. "I went to the doctors to confirm and they gave me the results."
I unfolded the piece of paper and scanned through the words; Pregnant.
I ran my hand through my hair as I began to think of how to break the news to Y/N.
"Have you made your first appointment?" I asked. She shooked her head.
"I wanted to discuss it with you first before scheduling an appointment. I want you to come with me at our first appointment." I nodded, feeling numb.
"I will take responsibility for my child. I want to give my child everything, be there for him or her and you since you are the mother who is carrying my child." I said, wishing it was Y/N who was carrying my child instead of Astoria. "But please don't tell Y/N about your pregnancy. I want to tell her on my own. I don't want my wife to find out that I will be a father by someone who isn't me that told her." She nodded as she smiled at me.
"I want nothing more than for you to be there for me and our child." She replied. "I will call you so we can schedule our first appointment." I nodded as she got up and left. I sat there, letting the news sink in.
Astoria is expecting my child.
How would Y/N react? Would she get mad at me? Upset? Will she be understanding? I hope she will understand the situation because even if Astoria is carrying my child, Y/N will be the woman I love.
"She finally left." My mother walked in and I let out a chuckle.
"She left," I replied, sighing a bit. "You will have a grandchild in a few months."
"Astoria is pregnant?" She asked. I nodded.
"I got her pregnant that night," I said.
"Have you told Y/N?" I shooked my head. "You need to tell her and she needs to understand that you will be a father, you will have a child with Astoria."
"I know but I don't know how to feel about becoming a father. I wasn't ready to have a child for a long time." I said, staring at my wedding band. "But I'm not gonna abandon my unborn child, I'm gonna take responsibility. It didn't take Astoria to create that child, it took her and me to create our child. Even that night when we conceived our child was a mistake."
"I'm glad you are taking responsibility for your child, I know it isn't easy for this but I know that you will be a wonderful father." I nodded. I bid my goodbyes to my mother before going home to wait for Y/N.
"Love, I'm home!" Y/N called out, shutting the front door. I stared at the piece of paper that was telling me that I will be a father.
"I'm in the bedroom," I replied as I heard shuffling then hearing footsteps approaching.
"Hey." She greeted me as she walked towards the bed, sitting down on the edge.
"Hey," I replied. She furrowed her eyebrows and stare at me.
"What do you got there?" She raised an eyebrow, trying to take a glance at the paper. I opened my mouth but then closed it, trying to find a way to announce this news to her. "Draco, what's wrong?" I sighed, sat up, and looked down at the paper.
"I..." I began but couldn't find the right words. She grabbed my hand, squeezing it, reassuring me that everything will be okay. "Um..."
"Take your time, I'm not gonna go anywhere." I nodded as I thought of what to tell her.
"Astoria visited my mother today," I said as she tilt her head to the side. "She wanted to talk to me and she told me—she's pregnant with my child."
Hurt flashed into her eyes as her lips parted at the news. I knew she felt hurt and I wish I could tell her this was all fake.
"Pregnant?" She whispered. I looked down, ashamed to look at her. "You got her pregnant." Her voice cracked. I closed my eyes and nodded, not finding a way of talking to her.
"She went to the doctors to confirm her pregnancy." She took the paper out of my hands. I watched her as she scanned over the words. "I know this is unexpected but I won't abandon my child. I hope you will be by my side and hopefully will love this child as your own."
"I―I don't know how to feel about this. You are gonna have a child with Astoria? A child, Draco. You are gonna be a father." She whispered. I nodded.
"But with this baby on the way, nothing will change between us, okay? I'm gonna take up my responsibility as a father but Astoria is just the mother to my child." I replied, stroking her cheek.
"Draco, we've been married for less than a month and you are expecting a child with your ex-girlfriend!" She pushed my hand away and stood up from the bed. "I love you and all but I will feel so bad every time I see you with your child in your arms or the proud parents with their babies to baptize them or every birthday or when you take your child to the park."
"Love, I know it's hard to understand that I will have a child but I want you by my side. That's the only thing I'm asking, for you to be with me." I begged, hugging her tightly in my arms.
"Draco, the only thing that will hurt me will be when Astoria will bring in baby clothes or her ultrasounds photos, or hearing your parents gush about the child that you had with Astoria." She broke away from the hug to wipe away her tears. "That's when I can't hold my feelings anymore."
I stared at her, swallowing the lump in my throat. She looked down at the floor while I felt like shit. She looked at me and bit her lower lip.
"I'll—I'll try to be with you with this but—" She let out a small hiccup. "Promise me—that you won't let Astoria rub her pregnancy to my face because I won't be able to hold back."
"I promise," I whispered. She grabbed my hands and intertwined them together.
"This is gonna change everything, Draco." She began, taking a short breath. "This baby will change our relationship. This news will change everything."
I knew she was right. A baby, especially from a previous relationship will change our lives.
