(A/N-This chapter has a lemon in it.)

Snape walked home with a cold feeling in his heart. He had tried to pretend his conversation with James was a hallucination, but the Dark Mark was upon his arm. In another life he had been a Death Eater, a fact he despised. Every day he cursed that decision, cursed himself. In this world he had made different decisions, better decisions. Why on earth would he want to leave? Because a dead man who might very well be a figment of his imagination had told him he'd cease to exist if he didn't? He spent some time in his office creating a potion to cover the mark then headed back to his home.

But is it truly my home? He wondered as he opened the door. His jaw dropped. Lily was standing near the couch dressed in a skimpy, black dress. She slid over to him and touched his chin.

"I've been worried about you all day." She whispered. "And I thought of a way to take your mind off that bad dream."
"W-where are the kids?" He asked.

"Out with their friends. They'll probably be gone a few hours."
"Oh. Oh."

She smiled at him. "Right. I thought you'd like this idea."
She took his hand and led him into the bedroom.

"Lay on your stomach." She told him. He did. She straddled him and took off his heavy robes, so his bare back was exposed. She laid her hands on him.

"So tense." She said. She ran her fingers softly down his back, then kissed his neck. He moaned in pleasure. How long had it been since he'd felt the pleasure of being lovingly touched by another person? She continued running her soft hands along his skin, kneading it and stroking it. He felt her rubbing oil into his skin.

"This isn't fair." He told her. "Why should I have all the fun?"
"Giving you pleasure is fun for me, you know."

"Still…" He lifted up. She rolled off his back so that she was beside him. He laid over her and pulled open her robes. He could "remember" making love to her before, but it still felt like the first time. He took the open bottle of oil, placed some in the palms of his hands and began rubbing her breasts. He worked his way down, removing the bottom half of her robes and caressing her most intimate places. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She pulled down his robes and underwear, wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into herself. As their flesh became as one they both cried out in ecstasy. He ran his fingers through her scarlet hair and drew her close to himself. After their desire was satisfied they laid upon the bed, holding each other for they still longed for union.

"Gods I love you, Lily."
"I love you, Severus. Also, that was the best sex we've had in years."

"Oh, yes, yes it was."

"But I swear it gets better every time we do it. Do you remember our first time?" She asked.

He thought about it. "Our wedding night. We went to Toulouse to see the sunflowers. It was midnight and we made love in the fields."

"It's been too long since we've been to France." Lily sighed, then held onto his shoulder. "Let's go this summer!"

"Sounds wonderful to me."
His body stiffened suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked.

"Nothing." Snape said, trying to will the ghosts of James Potter to disappear. He mouthed "go away."

"Not going to happen." James responded.

Lily screamed and pulled the covers over her breasts when she finally noticed the ghost.

"J-James? What's going on here?"

"Hi, Lily. What's going on is that the man you're currently in bed with is not who you think he is."
"Why can't you let me be happy for once in my life, James?" Snape snapped a pleading tone to his voice.

"Because you're presence is disrupting the flow of space and time. The potion on your arm is melting again, by the way."

"Severus, what is he…" She trailed off as she noticed the Dark Mark. She quickly stood up. "Who the hell are you?"
"Lily, I can explain!"
"You'd better let me do it. The girl doesn't like Death Eaters very much." James interrupted.

"So, explain." Lily ordered.

"There are many worlds for each possible choice-infinite realms, really. Sometimes, people can fall into the wrong world which has what happened with Snape here. This Snape and me are from the same world where he was a Death Eater…oh and we got married and had a kid."
Lily blinked. "Me and you got married?"
"Yep."

"I could kind of see that. I did have a crush on you." She turned to Snape. "Sorry, Severus it's true."

"It was a bit more than a crush in my world, Lily." James continued.

"Why did I choose you over Snape?"
"So, did he call you a mudblood in this world?"
"I vaguely remember that." Lily told him. "But, that's been ages ago. We've moved on from that."
"That's not what happened in the world I'm from." Snape told her. "I made so many mistakes." He gulped. "One of those mistakes got you killed."

He didn't meet her gaze, he couldn't.

"I don't believe you, Severus. I don't believe you'd ever do anything to hurt me."

"You don't know me, Lily."

"I do know you, Severus. There's no way you'd ever-"

"I DID HURT YOU!" Roared Severus standing up. "Don't be naïve! Everyone is capable of evil! Everyone has darkness in their heart!"

Lily shrunk back. "Why, then? Tell me why." She paused. "Wait. If you're not my Severus, where is he?"
"You're Severus is in a sort of limbo, a dream world." James told her.

"Lily, do you want to know? Truly? How I became a Death Eater? How I lost you?" How I lost my soul? He thought, but didn't say.

"Yes, Severus, yes I would." She said sitting down next to him.
