I had been Mrs. Severus Snape for eight years now. We were blissfully happy with our marriage. Severus was a great husband, the best a woman could ask for. He was attentive to my needs, he doted on me, told me that I'm beautiful, and he even took me out on dates, even though no one would believe that.
As soon as I was out of Hogwarts, I was offered a job as Charms Mistress because Professor Flitwick wished to retire. I was seventeen then and Severus and I had been courting then since my sixth year. Now we are extremely happy with our marriage and our careers (Severus was still teaching at Hogwarts as well). But there was just one thing missing. I wanted a baby. After all I am 25 years old and Severus, bless his heart, wasn't getting any younger. So I told him how I felt after a lot of debating, and he, surprisingly, was in agreement. I was elated!
So we tried for a while, to no avail. Nothing happened. I wasn't pregnant. No baby yet. But we kept trying with increasing ardor until one morning I realized I missed my period. And then another morning a few weeks later, I threw up. I hurriedly got my wand and performed the neccesary spell. My heart swelled instantly just then. I was pregnant! Oh, how I had wanted this for so long. I couldn't wait to tell Severus. He was already working by now, though. My first class wasn't for a few hours yet, as it was just 8:30 in the morning. I decided to tell him at lunch, when we had a few moments to ourselves. I should have known something was wrong when he didn't show up in the Great Hall for lunch. I quickly ate my lunch and went down to our quarters to try to find Severus.
I found him sitting in his favorite chair by the fire with a letter in his hands and a distressed look on his face. Once he looked up at me my face instantly fell from its joyous expression and I asked him "Severus, darling, whatever is the matter?"
" I have recieved some very distressing news, dear."
"Whatever could it be to have you looking so meloncholy?" I asked him as I sat in his lap.
"I think you should read this for yourself dear." He said, seriously.
"Alright," I said, taking the offending letter.
Severus
We have a child together, a baby girl. She's three months old now and she's coming to live with you. I just can't take care of her anymore. She drives me crazy with her constant crying, dirty diapers, drooly mouth and snotty nose. I don't love her. I know you have a wife. Maybe she will be willing to help you raise her because I know that I don't want to. I never wanted children and I don't want her. She will be on your doorstep tomorrow.

I had tears running down my face. This was the most heartbreaking letter that I had ever read. It was telling me that Severus had cheated on me. How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me! But who wouldn't want Severus' baby? Merlin knows we had been trying for months to have a baby of our own and now I learn that I won't be the first to carry Severus' child. My heart was breaking. And he still didn't know that I was pregnant.
"Oh Severus, that awful woman! How could she not want your baby?" I raged.
" I don't know dear. I promise you that I didn't cheat on you. I would never do that. This happened at one of the Dark Revels. They brought me a witch and I had to have my way with her or it would have blown my cover as it were. Im so very sorry.." He hung his head. "You know that I love you right?"
"Yes, its just hard to absorb, because..."
"Because...?" He prompted.
"Severus, Im pregnant." I said and promptly burst into tears.
