"Smile, Draco." You ordered.

He simply kept reading his book, not even letting you know he'd heard you. You crossed your arms.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, I will hex you if you do not put the book down!"

He sighed and set it down, looking at you in exasperation, "What is it, love? I'm preoccupied with something no doubt more important than your new "quest"."

"I am a Ravenclaw for a reason, hun. Now, do as I asked. Smile."

"I do not want to smile."

"Why not? You have a lovely smile and I'd like to see it."

He gave you a pointed look, "(Name) Malfoy, what are you up to?"

You placed your hands on your hips, "Nothing! I'd just like to see my husband smile for once in his life! It helps me know that you are happy, something that is my top priority."

Draco stood up and walked over to you, taking your hands in his and pecking your lips. "I am ecstatic, love."

"Well it'd be nice if you'd show it!"

He sighed and gave you a small, small smile. You narrowed your eyes and took your hands from his, crossing your arms and leaving the room. Draco just rolled his eyes and sighed, settling back with his reading. Women were just so sensitive!

xXx

You smiled as you worked in the kitchen. Sure with a wave of your wand you could prepare your husband's favorite meal, but he always liked it better when it was made with your own two hands. (Though he didn't know that part.)

Just as you were done cooking you made up a plate for him, venturing out into the living room once more. You cleared your throat and he looked up.

"Darling, you didn't have to-"

"Hush, yes I did." You set down the plate onto the table next to the chair he was sitting in and went for your own plate, sitting on the couch across from Draco.

You examined him as he ate. His eyes were sparkling and shining, but dammit the man's mouth never curved upwards! Why wouldn't he smile? You'd think that now, after everything that went down at Hogwarts, he'd be able to smile, but no. You could hardly remember any smiles from him even on your wedding day!

You ate your dinner contemplating why he never smiled. He claimed he was ecstatic, but you knew that was an exaggeration, assuming he was happy at all in the first place. You just couldn't tell, he worked wonders in that sense.

Why oh why did you choose one of the most mysterious, ridiculously complex men you could?

A few hours after dinner you and Draco were in bed, he reading and you staring at the ceiling. Damn Draco making you feel like a Hufflepuff!

Draco set down his book and took your hand, "Love, what on earth has got you so worked up? It's tiring, really."

"You! All I want to see is a simple smile, yet you won't give me one!"

"I smiled earlier when you came to me with this "pressing issue", didn't I?"

"Your lips hardly twitched. I need to know if you are truly happy or not!"

"Darling, I am happy. Just because I don't smile like the bumbling idiots we've encountered before does not mean I am not content. Now please, let this go."

"Are you absolutely sure you're happy?"

"For the love of Merlin!" Draco yanked your head towards him and kissed you roughly. He pulled away, "Please do not make me hex you, woman."

"I had to make sure."

"But why?" Draco asked with an exaggerated sigh while dropping his head in his hands. This was really grating his nerves.

"Because we will not raise a child in an unhappy home."

Draco looked up, "You mean…?"

"I'm pregnant."

Draco lips moved into the biggest smile you'd ever seen.
