In his shadow

Harry POV

I've tried my best to cope with my pregnancy conditions without Draco finding out. I hid my scent with perfume, kept the cravings a secret by eating when he was studying, and I cuddled a lot with him, it seemed to help the child in my stomach not to make me vomit all the time.
But I had the feeling that Draco was hiding something as well, but I wasn't sure what it was, or if it was even only my pregnant brain imagining stuff.
But this hiding would end. 

A big firework was going to be held on the Quidditch field, and I was planning on telling him while we look at the glowing sparks in the sky. Currently, I was lying on my bed, rubbing my stomach.
Originally, Alek, Neville and I had planned to spend the time until tonight planning, but Neville wasn't feeling to well and was trying to get better to see me reveal my pregnancy to my mate, and Lidiya had an urged case of 'what to wear'- stress as Eva invited her for a date and Alek had to help her choose an outfit.
So, I was alone while Draco took his last exam, talking to my child. I was still so overly excited that I was able to carry life, happily rubbing my stomach. 

When it was time to prepare I threw on one of Draco's t-shirts (they are soooo comfy!) and some nice shorts, then I styled my hair, pinning it behind my ear with some bobby pins. Then I had to vomit. After that, I did my makeup and waited for my mate to come and get me.
When Draco finally came (hihi) he seemed just as nervous as I was. He kept fidgeting and rubbing his hands on his pants. I gave him a kiss, but it didn't help. Still, we made our way to the Quidditch field (Draco had to carry me, I was just too nervous to walk) and took our place on the bleachers. 

Alek was beside Neville, who was beside Victor, who was beside me, who was beside Draco.
The two Omegas gave me a thumbs-up, reassuring me that everything would go as planned. Victor seemed nervous, most likely not sure if it was safe for Neville to leave at this time (he really worries too much!). 

I leaned closer to my Alpha, my head on his shoulder. He was still sweating, maybe he was getting sick?
My hand went to check his forehead, but his temperature seemed okay.
I began to sweat too, soon the fireworks would start and I would tell Draco my secret. 

I slowly leaned closer to him, wrapping my arms around his shoulders, my mouth near his ear. I could hear how the fireworks were shot into the sky. 

"Draco, I'm-. Draco?" 

Suddenly, Draco had tensed, he pushed my hands away, letting out a scream. I was shook.
What was going on?
Had I done something?

I gave my friends a distressed look, and Victor was quick to react. He grabbed Draco under the shoulders, pulling him away from the bleachers, out of the field.
Neville and I were following them into the castle. Someone must have alarmed the school authorities, as a nurse was there to help us bring him to the hospital wing.
There were the noises of the firework were not heard, Draco began to calm down. The nurse checked for any injuries, but there weren't any. 

With that sudden shock my heart started to speed up and wouldn't calm down, so the nurse had to check up on me too, to see if the baby was okay. I told Neville and Victor to leave, as I thought Draco would feel better with fewer people around. When the nurse was holding her wand over my stomach, Draco came back from wherever his mind had been. 

"Are you okay Harry, did someone hurt you?" he asked quickly. I jumped up from the hospital bed, sitting down next to him.
"No, honey, I am okay. What happened?" I asked him, holding his hand in mine. His grey eyes stared at me, and I felt like he was disappointed in himself. 

"I was there again. All those lights remembered me of when they attacked. I was so scared Harry!" I wrapped my arms around my strong Alpha, kissing him.
"It's okay. This is nothing you can control honey." I tried to reassure him. I let out a sigh, rubbing my shoulder.
"I'm really useless. I'm scared of flashing lights, was almost put into prison, I can't even give you a baby. I'm so sorry that you are stuck with me..." 

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" I stopped his self-hating rant.
"You fought in a battle. And you won. You were smart enough to show the court that you were not guilty. You are perfect Draco, I would tie myself to you every day." He sat up straight, holding both my hands. 

"You would?" I had such a hopeful look in his face.
"Of course I would. I love you, honey! What would I do without my baby daddy?" 

Shit!
I said it. 

But he must have not noticed it, because he began searching his pockets.
"That is the happiest moment of my life because I had planned to ... wait, did you say 'baby daddy'?" 

And he did notice! 

"Well..."
I grabbed both his hands and put them on my stomach. I knew he wouldn't feel them, but the idea was clear.
"Do you mean you are pregnant?" There were tears in his eyes, and he began to laugh when I nodded.
His arms wrapped around me, pulling me close.
"You know, I had prepared a whole speech, but I hope you will be happy enough with this." He was about to slip from the hospital bed to the ground, but the nurse stopped him. 

"You are in no shape to do that. I know that this is such an important thing and bla bla bla. But he will say yes, no matter if you sit or kneel, boy."
What was she... oh!
Draco opened the small jewellery box, and all I could do was nod. My mate-fiancé- grabbed my cheeks and gave me a deep kiss and slipped the ring onto my finger and he kissed my stomach too. 

This was one of the best moments of my life.

A/N: A Bit shorter chapter, but at least I'm in time! What do you think of the chapter, be honest!

Today's question :

How are you? Like, really?
I noticed that I never ask you how you really are, so I want to know.
