*this has been speeded up.... *
Li Na looked down at her belly, she was now five months and the only part of her that had gained weight was her belly. She was a petite girl so sadly she was just one huge stomach now. She sighed softly, doing simple tasks was harder now. She bumped into things a lot forgetting her load. She now knew the sex of her unborn child and loved picking out names daily. She wanted to pass on her Chinese Culture so she would raise the child to speak Chinese and most likely give it a Chinese name. She was proud to be Chinese and she wanted her child to be too.
Today Li Na found herself roaming Hogsmeade, window shopping. She finally knew what she was having, a baby girl and she was excited. She smiled as she walked up to a baby shop, peeking into the window. She wasn't sure if she should go in and she wasn't sure as to why that was. She finally opened the door, the bell ringing to announce her entrance. She slowly made her way around looking at all of the little clothes and things. She knew that a baby was expensive and that is what worried her, she had just started a job to save up. She didn't live with her parents anymore and Halen didn't want to be a father so that left her alone. She had been saving up money so she could provide her child with everything it needed.

Draco Malfoy was still posing as Brice Evariste. He was still a DE, and his heart was still shattered like a lightbulb that someone had stepped on. It was sad to live like this, and it took a lot out of him. He was getting sick more and more, and he didn't know what was wrong with him. He had screwed up a couple of times recently, not able to do as he was asked, and bearing the unforgivable curses was a huge hassle for the seventeen year old boy. He was in bad shape.
Draco watched as Li Na walked in to the baby store, a soft smile appearing on his face as he watched the girl go in, not aware of the fact that he was there. Draco walked in to the store, quickly making his way to the counter and handing the women a bag of money, a lot of it. "Listen,"he said in a whisper, "This money is for that girl over there."he said, pointing to Li Na. "Anything she buys, use it and not hers, understood?" The woman nodded, an elderly woman who thought that he was charming. Bah. Draco Malfoy. Charming? Yeah right.
Draco then made his way back towards the exit of the store, not wanting to be seen here, especially not by Li Na.

Li Na saw the whole exchange of the money and frowned. She went behind and took it waddling after Draco. She power walked to catch up and when she finally reached him. She just put her hand on his shoulder. "Thank you but I don't need charity." she said softly, waiting for him to turn around.
She wanted to be able to do this on her own. She didn't want hand outs and she knew that he was trying to help but she didn't think she needed it and even if she did she wouldn't admit it. "I can't take this." she said shoving it at him. "So thank you but I am fine." she said.

Draco had been keeping that satchel of money in his pocket for a month now. It was meant for Li Na, and she was going to have it. It was made of a soft green velvet, the inside lined with silk that was also green. Both were rich lush fabrics, only the best for Li. Draco turned around and looked at her with a sad glint in his eye. "It is by no means charity, it is simply a gift."he told her. The woman at the counter piped in. "It's a bloody nice offer, dearie!" Draco sighed. "Look, it's not just money."he said simply. Inside was a small silver locket with a design made of emeralds. (It looks like this, cept with green: www.heritagejewellery.co.uk/Lockets/Lockets%203/large%20Ruby%20Locket%20+%20Chain%20(3498+3503).jpg ) The inscrption on the insdie read: Li Na, with this comes my heart, I love you, Draco. Draco had tried to contact her before, to try and make peace with her. He looked at her softly, "Please, just take it."he asked, walking towards the door. He couldn't fight her, he wasn't strong enough to yell...

She hated games and that is what she felt like was going on. She looked at the locket and smiled it was nice but how could he give it to her and just walk of. She felt confused and not in the mood to play games. She walked after him and grabbed him by the arm. "I don't want to play games." she said softly. "I am too tired to play games." she said almost pleading.
"I know you have every right to because I broke you trust and you heart but I honestly can't handle this right now." she said. She stood there with a sad look in her eye she didn't want to take back her child but just who the child was with. She loved Draco still and she knew that she would forever that was why his games hurt her. Halen she could care less abou.

Draco looked at her, his eyes icy blue, though the rest of him was worn and tired looking. "I think I'm being transferred, Li."he said simply. "I wanted to give you a goodbye gift."he smiled softly at her, looking at the ground after a moment. He felt her touch on his arm and put his hand over it. "I needed to say goodbye."he told her softly.
He hoped Li Na knew what transferred meant. It meant the same as in any other job. He was going to be moving to a different country, assumedly, and his orders would most likely be to stay there. Draco's heart was shattered, true, and that pained him enough, but now that the crucio curse had been cast upon him so many times, Draco felt tired and weak, he could scarcely feel his old self any more, he couldn't afford to feel it, but his love for Li Na was still strong.

She looked at him sadly. "Transferred?" she asked. She wanted to be able to go with him but she knew that she couldn't. It seemed like everything wanted to tear them away from eachother. " You can't just tell me that you still love me and then leave it is not fair." she said putting the locket in his hand.
"I don't want it, not until you can do something about it." she said. "Right now you can't so I don't want it." she said. "This is a game to you isn't it? Hey I am leaving so why don't I just make up some bullshit story for the hell of it." she said angrily. "I won't be hurt, I can't be." she said narrowing her eyes.

Draco cringed. He was weak, and he couldn't fight her. He wouldn't. "Li Na..."he said weakly, lacking the usual strength and pride that his voice contained. "It's not a game... I just..."he stopped, taking a breath. Something was wrong with him, that much was evident by looking at him and listening to him. This was not the arrogant, boastful Draco Malfoy who could hold up an argument for years, this was a weaker Draco, one that was coawrdly, and afraid of what lied ahead. Being blasted with dark magic could do that to you. "I just don't want you to forget me..."he said meekly, his eyes honest, and sad. He closed the locket back in her hand, letting their hands linger together for a moment too long, before pulling his hand away.

She looked at him sadly. She could tell that he was hurting and it hurt her to say what she was about to but she knew that it had to be said. "I... I can't take it." she said softly, holding it out to him. "I don't want a memory, I want something real to hold on to and you can't give me that now and I am not sure if you ever can." she said. "You know that I love you and I would go the distance to be with you but you don't want to do the same for me and that is okay. I understand. I mean I am pregnant with someone elses kid, and I hav hurt you so many times. I understand all of this but I want to know that I am loved, I want someone to tell me everyday. You can't give that to me right now so I can't accept this." she said softly.

Draco looked at her with pleading eyes. "I've hurt you too..."he said, admitting to his mistakes, which was unlike him. "And I'm so sorry. I wish I hadn't done that.. I wish that we could just rewind everything..."he told her, his icy blue eyes looking at her with sadness. "But, if I let you be with me Li, it would only cause more greif..."he told her. "If you messed up you'd end up like me..."his voice trailed off. He looked at her pleadingly, feeling himself slipping away. It happened more and more now, more and more he was passing out. He felt it happening, he looked in to Li Na's eyes with pure fear. "Don't let them take me to Mungo's. "He told her hurriedly. "I need to hide the mark."he whispered, in a rush. "I'm sor-"he stopped, collapsing on to the ground, Brice's glasses falling off as he did so. He was breathing, but unconcious.

She watched him collaspe. She wasn't sure what to do. She found a strong guy walking the street and asked him to carry Draco to the nearst hotel. She handed the man the money that Draco had in that bag and payed for a hotel. She rang up for a pitcher of cold water and dampened a towel slowly patting his face. She layed the wash rag on his head. She went into the bathroom and cried. How could things get so f**ked up in her life? She was seventeen and pregnant and she couldn't have the person she loved instead she was stuck with a dead beat dad. She slowly dried her face returning to where Draco was. She took a chair and sat by his bed. She slowly talked to him not sure if he could hear. "I am so sorry." she said softly. "I do love you and I want to be with you I don't care about the danger. You making me stay away hurts more." she said softly, wiping his forehead. She sat up by his side all night waiting for him to wake up.

It was night now and Draco awoke to a cold towel against his forehead, he felt hot still though, and pulled off the red sweater to reveal a simple white shirt that clung to his now sweaty chest. His vision was a bit blurry and his head pounded like hell, but he was better. He looked up at Li Na, watching her form with those icy blue eyes. He had been dreaming that she was here, telling him that she was sorry and that she did love him and wanted to be with him... or had it been a dream? He squinted up at her, breathless as he spoke. "Li?"he asked quietly, wanting to make sure that he wasn't insane. He didn't realise that the Dark Mark was fully visible to her, as he was on the left side of the bed, with his left arm facing out. The tatoo was ugly, a skull with a snake protruding from the mouth like in a muggle horror film. He hated that mark so much, but he couldn't do a thing about it. It was so obtrusive against his soft pale skin. But Draco wasn't focused on that, he was focused on Li Na, and if it was really her, or someone else, and he was just seeing things.

Li Na was suprised by his sudden movement. She smiled softly at him, proping a pillow underneath his head so he could sit better. If Draco would have looked now, his disguise was gone. Li Na had taken it off of him gladly. She missed looking at the real Draco. She smiled kissing him softly on his forhead.
She smiled and said "Yes Draco. Can I get you something? Something to eat or drink?" she asked a little worried. "Don't strain yourself." she said softly. She wasn't sure why he had fainted but she couldn't let his disguise be revealed. She saw the Dark Mark looming up at her and pushed it out of her mind. Draco was sick. The Dark Mark had nothing to do with the moment at hand.

Draco closed his eyes as her lips brushed against his skin, savoring the feeling that he had missed so entirely, and that he wasn't even supposed to have now. Draco's blonde hair hung messily in front of his eyes, and he could see that the once black strands were now back to their original shade of whitish blonde. He looked up at the girl he loved, only his eyes conveying what he really felt. Fear... Shock... Anxiety... Depression... Sadness... Love... Confusion... Self-Loathing... His brain was befuddled with a rainbow of emotions, and Draco, who had always been taught to keep his emotions within himself, struggled with that.
Draco gave Li Na a weak smile and shook his head no. "I'm..." Draco paused, searching himself for air to continue the sentence. "I'm sorry, Li..."he said meekly, knowing that it wouldn't make anything go away, but wanting to say it nonetheless.

"It is okay." she said softly giving him a small smile. Sadly something hit her she knew that they would never be together outside of this moment. She sat back down in her chair, brushed his hair out of his face and continued to wipe his forehead with the cool towel. "You need to get some rest." she said softly smiling.
She pulled the covers over him, turing off the light. She sat back down in the chair. She wanted to stay in this room forever and sadly she knew that it wasn't possible. She had made mistakes horrible ones and she couldn't take them back. A sad smile appeared over her face. She knew it was the last time, the last time.
