The snow was falling peacefully outside the Malfoy’s Manor. I woke up earlier and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower and send the sleep away, making sure I didn’t wake Draco. This was our first Christmas together as a married couple, and I wanted to make everything perfect. The Christmas Eve on the night before had already been a huge success: all the decorations were in place, there was a typical meal for dinner, the guests came along and had fun and even Lucius and Narcissa complemented us for taking good care of the house they left us.
Now, dressed in one of Draco’s black sweatshirts, I walked to the kitchen to get breakfast ready. My heart was beating fast with the thought of my husband opening his gift. I had no idea how he would react.
After a while, cookies could be scented from the whole house. I have never been the best at cooking, but sometimes it just worked. I heard footsteps on the stairs and smiled.
“Moning.” Draco’s lazy, husky voice whispered in my ear while he hugged me from behind.
“Morning, love.”
“This is smelling very good.”
“They’re also really…” Draco cursed when he burned himself. “Hot.” I said, holding a laugh.
“Yeah, I know now.”
I just shook my head and started carefully taking the cookies out of the form and setting them on a plate, while Draco got some other stuff for breakfast. When everything was finished, we sat together and talked about last night. He was very happy that his parents were proud of us, and I was also very relieved.
“Well, but I didn’t give you your gift last night, Princess. Come on, it’s under the tree."
He was so excited when he handed me the medium sized box, I couldn’t help but smile. I opened it, trying not to ruin the wrapping paper.
"Oh, my… Draco this is the Collector’s Edition of my favorite book! I’ve been looking for it for so long! How did you…?”
“I have my contacts.” He joked. “Did you liked it?”
“I loved it! Thank you so much.” I said, hugging him.
“Hehe, you don’t have to thank me. This is really nothing compared to the gift you give me every day. Your love.” He kissed my forehead and I got away from him and reached for the small box, my gift.
“Look, this is not much, because there isn’t anything to give to someone who has it all. But as you said you always wanted one for yourself…”
He frowned his eyebrows, looking at the small package. Once it was open, his chin dropped.
“Elena… This… This is not a joke, right? Tell me this is not a joke.”
“It’s not.”
“Merlin’s sake… Elena does this mean… You’re… We’re going to…?"
I shook my head. He smiled and kissed me, hugging me tightly.
"This is literally the best thing you could give me. I mean… You’re pregnant. We’re going to be parents! I’m going to be a dad!!!”
“Yes, my love.” I said, smiling so much my cheeks began to hurt.
“I love you so much.” He said, kissing me again. Things were going to change, but as long as I had his support, everything would be fine.
