To say that Mrs. Severus Snape was shocked would be an under statement.
"Eh Excuse me?" Nina stuttered, she couldn't quite wrap her mind around the idea that her friend just asked if she could sleep with her husband.
"Oh I'm sorry Ni that was just to forward of me." She said as she stood up and started pacing around the room.
"Its just that we want a child so bad if we can't have one made from the two of us then we would want someone that we look up to." Again with the shock and surprises, Nina couldn't help it, she started to laugh.
"James Potter looks up to Severus Snape?" She asked trying to catch her breath. That had to be the most astonishing statement she had ever heard.
"Yes he does, he might not act like it or ever admit it out loud because he's a childish male, but he does. It takes a brave and strong soul to be willing to defy someone as strong as Voldamort with out him knowing. I think the both of you are great people for what you are doing for the light. I'm sorry that you made such a mistake when you where younger but now it will hopefully help our future." It was now Nina's turn to cry. As the tears were rolling down her cheeks she stood up and hugged her friend.
"You are too an amazing person Lily don't ever forget that, you too are in this fight just because you are not a spy does not mean that you are worthless." Both women pulled away and simultaneously wiped their eyes. Nina took a deep breath and said.
"Well I think we should inform Sev of this and see what he has to say." Lily smiled.
"So you're okay with this?" She asked hopefully.
"Okay that you're going to be having sex with my husband? No, but I understand your reason." She said nodding. And with that the two women headed down stairs to their waiting husbands.
When the ladies returned to the kitchen Sev and James where still staring at each other obviously restraining themselves from jumping across the table onto the other man. The women smiled at each other and then cleared their throats. Both men surprised by the sudden noise nearly hit the ceiling they had jumped so high.
"Lily love you scared me." James said with an innocent smile at his wife. Lily just raised an eyebrow in response.
"Everything situated?" Severus asked as Nina went and sat beside him at the table. The women shared a look and smiled.
"Well there was something I wanted to ask of you Sev." Lily said though she was looking at James who was looking back with a umreadable expression on his face. She squeezed his hand in an attempt to silently reassure him that everything would be okay,
"Well Sev the reason I got so upset earlier is because James and I have been trying to have a child for a while now and we have not been that lucky so we were wondering if you would be willing to … help." She ended lamely unsure of how to ask him to sleep with her with out it sounding worse then it already did. Sev himself was a bit lost for words.
'Did she just ask me to father her children?' he looked at his wife for her reaction and she just nodded with a small smile on her face. At this Severus had to bite back a huge grin.
'I get to sleep with Lily Potter and it won't be considered cheating! I GET TO SLEEP WITH LILY POTTER! (Envisions himself jumping on the table and doing a jig)' apparently some of his excitement showed because when he looked at his wife again she was glaring at him. He just smiled slightly, and then another thought hit him.
'Perfect, amazing James Potter is shooting blanks (Laughs manically) oh the blackmail!' Again with the glare, though this time he didn't mind, for the first time in his life he had blackmail against his arch nemesis. (Pictures himself again doing a jig on the table). That was about the time that James had gotten up and left the room.
"This isn't easy for him." Lily stated as she watched her husband, the love of her life leave the room looking non to pleased. It seemed that that was a good time to be heading home.
"Well Lily I think its time departed. Owl us with a date and time, okay?" Nina hugged her friend and dragged a still shocked Severus Snape out of the kitchen to the living room and through the fire to their home.
A few days later they had received another owl from Lily and James stating that the date was to be the next night, which would be November 14th. Nina and Sev where to go to the Potter's at seven PM, where Nina and James had planned to go out to dinner and leave the other two to what they had to do.
That night came sooner then any of them thought possible. It seemed like no time at all that they were at the meeting place with all four adults looking slightly uncomfortable. They had agreed to sign a contract to make it official of what was going on that night and that it was not to be told to anyone with the exception of Dumbledore who was going to be receiving a copy to notarize incase something went wrong in the war and Lily and James didn't make it out alive. Then their child was to go to Nina and Severus. Once the contract was all signed and there were copies for both parties and one that was promptly sent to the headmaster of Hogwarts, Nina and James were on their way out for dinner to leave Sev and Lily to their own devices.
A few weeks later the Snape's received an owl from the Potter's announcing that Lily was expecting. Even though the act of what Sev and Lily did was agreed upon by all parties it was still a little hard for Nina to come to terms with. She allowed her husband to sleep with another woman. She was still baffled that she actually let him do it even if it was for the right reasons.
