A/N: I'm posting what I have of this chapter because I'm still receiving notices and reviews on it. (Thanks, by the way! ) I do, however, want readers to know that I have not written on Madison for a long time. I have been focusing on its precursor, The Beauty of Evil, which remains one of my pet stories – and is getting naughtier every instant. When I reach the beginning of seventh year on BoE, I will adapt Madison to not only agree with BoE, but to hopefully be more mature and therefore, more enjoyable.

Thank you again for your reviews.

Chapter Twelve

"Draco, what are we going to do?"

Draco sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"We are going to have a baby, Maddi. And we are not telling your father about this. Understand?"

Madison nodded, but her bottom lip began to tremble. Draco's expression softened.

"Please don't cry. Darling, it'll be okay."

Madison's eyes filled with tears; her husband found his own eyes tearing up.

"Please, darling, don't cry."

"I can't help it, Draco, it's just too horrible!"

As she stifled a sob, a knock sounded softly at their portrait. Draco almost didn't answer but Madison sent him a look that told him he should. While he walked to the main portrait, she redid her makeup and composed herself. As soon as the blonde opened the door, Harry rushed in to his sister.

"Maddi, are you okay?"

"Of course, Harry. I'm great- why?"

"I just . . ." He glanced at the young couple worriedly. "I just . . . feel like something's wrong . . ." He sent Madison a pointed look. "You've been crying."

"Harry. I'm fine – I got something in my eye, that's all."

He raised an eyebrow at her. "Fine. I'll see you later."

When the portrait banged shut behind her brother, Madison sighed heavily and sank onto a nearby chair.

Madison spent the next few days on voluntary bed rest. She could hardly look at her husband without bursting into tears. Draco stayed by her side, bringing her food (which she didn't eat) and begging her to get up (which she refused to do). When he saw, on the third day, that this behavior was to continue, Draco ground his teeth and sat down next to her, crossing his arms belligerently.

"Madison Dawn Malfoy, you will stop acting this way immediately."

"Draco, I'm sorry, but I can't do this! It's too horrible! . . . I've already killed one baby . . ."

He whipped around to face her, his eyes fiery.

"Maddi, you did not kill our baby. It was a mistake and it will not happen again." His voice dropped noticeably in volume. "If you keep this up . . . you'll die too . . ."
