Cloud of Smoke

SS/HG

ONESHOT


Severus Snape carefully climbed into bed trying not to wake his eight month pregnant wife. He laid down on the right side of the bed and curled around his wife's soft body. He placed his arm around her waist and rested his hand on her round stomach.

'Severus.' She moaned as she wiggled against him. 'You've woken them up now; I told you they know when your there.'

'I hardly doubt they can tell Hermione.' He whispered huskily.

'You've been smoking!' she accused as she tried to sit up but her pregnant stomach was hindering her. 'You promised you'd stop!'

'And I will when the babies come.' He said as he rolled onto his back.

'The babies can still breathe in smoke now through me! You promised.' She screeched as she went to climb out of bed.

'Hermione.' He said as he got out of bed as well. 'Come on, you know you shouldn't be out of bed. You need to rest, you need to sleep.'

'Well if you hadn't smoked I would need to go and sleep in the spare room. Because of your selfish behaviour I am having to move to the spare room. I hope you are happy with yourself Severus Snape, I sometimes wonder why I decided to have children with you!' and with that she walked out the room slamming the door.

Severus flopped back onto the bed and sighed. Hermione's hormones had been terrible in the last week or so. He expected it was because she had been put on bed rest. He knew he shouldn't have had a smoke before coming to bed and he did promise to quit but he was stressed and he needed one.

After ten minutes, Severus made his way to the spare room. He opened the door and slowly walked in. Hermione was curled on her side and he could tell she was crying by the way her body shook.

'Hermione.' He said softly as he sat down on the bed. He rubbed her back softly trying to comfort her. 'I'm sorry Hermione; I promise I won't have another smoke. I was stressed I'm worried about you and the babies and I needed a smoke.'

'It's alright. I flew of the handle.' She said as she softly turned around.

'No you didn't.' He said as he leaned down and kissed her head. 'I promise okay? No more smoking.'

'Thank you.' She said as she leant up to kiss him but then pulled away. 'Go brush your teeth.'

'Okay but back to our bed with you.' He said as he helped her up.

'Yes sir.' She said as they walked together back to their room.


Authors Notes:

Just a oneshot as my muse has disapeared somewhere. I'm hoping Santa will bring it back! xxx
