Mama

"Mama," Jade reached her delicate hands out. They were raised as her mother looked down at her. The woman sighed and lifted the six year old into her arms.

"Halley," Jade's father said reaching for his wife. "I did it to protect us," he said.

"No you did it to protect that woman you pined after all of your school life! I thought you were over her Severus! You promised you didn't even think about her anymore," Halley yelled.

"Halley I don't think about Lily anymore do you know who I do think about? You and Jadelyn," he said.

"No you don't or you wouldn't drag us so far into this! Severus I don't want to be at war!"

"The whole world is at war Halley just because I've chosen a side doesn't mean we're any more involved than we once were!"

"Yes we are because now you're the Dark Lord's bitch!" Halley yelled.

"Bitch," Jade repeated in her broken syllables.

"Don't say that princess," Severus scolded.

"No more yelling," Jade said putting her tiny hand on her mother's face.

"Jadelyn's right," Halley said "I won't discuss this around her any longer," and with that she marched her way up the stairs to lay Jade down for the night.

The next morning Severus wasn't surprised to find Halley gone. He rushed to Jadelyn's room and found she was gone as well. Severus howled in anger and stuck his fist through the wall of his daughters light purple room.

Suddenly his left arm began to burn as the Dark Lord summoned him by his recently received dark mark. Severus apparated to the chosen meeting place and tried to remove the scowl from his face.

"Severus," the Dark Lord called him to his side. Severus stalked towards the man who inspired fear around the world. "I believe Lucius has found something you lost," the man said then summoning Lucius.

"Daddy!" a little Jade yelled from her place in Lucius's grasp. His own son clung to his pant leg looking up at the girl his father held.

"Jadelyn," Severus's face dropped into relief as Lucius set the girl down and she rushed to her father's arms.

"Daddy why did mommy leave last night?"

"We'll talk at home princess right now you need to be quiet ok?"

Jade nodded and looked up at the man who had no nose on his face. Instead of cringing in fear as most children did, including the one who clung to Lucius she smiled revealing her missing tooth beside the two front teeth. The Dark Lord scowled at her and she returned it then giggled clapping. The Dark Lord stared at her intrigued. "Severus send her off to play with Draco for now," he waved her away.

"Go play Jadelyn daddy needs to take care of grown up things right now ok?"

"Ok bye daddy bye man who called daddy," Jade waved fearlessly at the Dark Lord who still snarled at her.

Severus watched as Draco took his little girl's hand and took her away. Lucius and Severus thought that perhaps the two would grow into a couple someday. "Severus, Lucius," the Dark Lord summoned the two men's attention back to him.

"My Lord?" the both answered their kids disappearing from their mind.

"Your children shall be raised together and eventually shall be wed. I shall train them both myself when the time comes and they will become two of my most invaluable agents. Understood?"

The men looked at each other before nodding. "Severus," Voldemort called again. He looked up to him allowing him his attention "where is Halley?"

"She left last night, she originally took Jadelyn with her."

"Yes luckily however Lucius found your lovely daughter."

"I am forever indebted to him for that," Severus nodded to Lucius.

"My only question then is why did you not find his wife along with her?" Voldemort now turned his attention to Lucius.

"She wasn't found in the most acceptable of locations." Lucius said refusing to look at Severus "I found her outside of a bar in the arms of a few other men. I was fortunate to have recognized the girl as belonging to Severus I am reluctant to admit that I stopped my search for the mother after that. I assumed that Jadelyn had merely gotten lost."

The Dark Lord nodded and allowed the two men to summon their children again. Jade walked in holding the hand of Draco who looked ready to cry from the mud caked on his otherwise clean face. Jade however smiled from ear to ear. "Jadelyn come you need a bath," Severus said.

"Wait," Jade said squirming from her father's grasp. She raced up the few stairs to where Voldemort stood. "This is for you," she handed him a small simple daisy. She smiled and then exited with her father while Lucius had long since taken Draco away from a chastising and a bath. The Dark Lord looked at the flower before killing it petal by petal. The girl however would become invaluable.

AN: I am so pleased with this new chapter I appreciate reviews always and I hope you like the story. As a warning I think this story may end up being Beck/Jade/Draco as an actual three person couple. So you've been warned *spirit fingers* but don't worry I'm not going to do it where Jade's a slut it'll be done tactfully, I hope. Please review ^.^
