A/N: Woo Hoo! It's finally chapter 9! Now this chapter has a time skip. It doesn't skip that much, just to christmas. It would have like a million chapters if I wrote one for everyday. Now, I don't own anything blah blah blah :( This is Snarry (Snape and Harry) slash. Don't like then why are you this far in my story? Anyway, on with the story...

Enjoy :)

Three months after the incident with the four girls, Severus, Harry, Aphrodite, and Lily made their way to the great hall two days before Holiday break (It's December 19th). Harry was now 6 months pregnant and was sporting a baby bump that was noticeable even in the most baggiest robes. When they entered the great hall they were assaulted with christmas decorations. The twelve christmas trees lined the walls, covered in bright and shining ornaments, and twinkling lights that resembled Dumbledore's eyes. Garland littered the walls and tables.

"Uh, it looks like Father christmas vomited all over the room." Severus said.

"Uh, I agree. I mean I love christmas and decorating. It's the one holiday that Slytherin and Gryffindor colors go together, but this is a little much." Harry replied as he and Severus made their way up to the head table, hand in hand.

"I think Albus as finally lost what little mind he had." Severus said quietly as the approached the table.

They made their way to their seats and were assaulted by Dumbledore's voice.

Jingle bells

Jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun It is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Hay!

Severus and Harry arrived at their seats and Severus pulled out Harry's chair and helped him sit.

"Aw thank you dear." Harry said with a smile. Severus rolled his eyes and took his own seat.

"Don't you just love christmas. It's one of my favorite holidays." Dumbledore said, unwrapping a lemon drop and popping it in his mouth.

"Oh yes, we can tell it's one of your favorite holidays Albus." Severus said glancing at the headmasters attire.

It was horrendous. He was wearing red and green robes. They wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't have all the attachments. Bells, ornaments, lights, tinsel, you name it, it was on there. He looked like a walking christmas tree on crack. But the worse part of his outfit was his hat. It was a santa hat with antlers and elf ears. There were bells hanging from the antlers along with some misletoe.

"Um, is that a new hat Albus?" Harry asked him, piling food onto his plate.

"Oh yes it is. I just bought it last week when I went to go pick up some more lemon drops. I saw it and just had to have it. Do you like it?" Albus said.

"It's... nice." Harry said and looked away. He busied himself with his food.

"Why thank you. You know that's what Minerva said when she saw it this morning."

"I'm sure it was." Severus said under his breath.

Harry heard him and laughed, choking on his food. He started coughing. Severus looked at him with concern as he patted him on the back.

"Are you okay, Love? Should I get Poppy?" Severus asked his voice laced with concern.

With one last cough Harry said "I'm fine. Next time you make a comment like that make sure I don't have food in my mouth."

He wiped his mouth with his napkin and took a sip of pumpkin juice.

"So does that mean I could keep my mouth shut since you always seem to have food in your mouth." Severus said, smiling. His tone of voice and his smile made it clear he was joking and not trying to offend his hormonal husband.

"Ha ha ha, Severus. That was a hilarious. Besides, if you could keep it in your pants I wouldn't need to eat so much." Harry replied.

"Oh you love it." Severus replied.

"Yes I do. Now, pass me the gravy honey." Harry asked.

Severus chuckled and complied with his husbands request.

*** MEAN WHILE AT THE HOUSE TABLES***

Aphrodite and Lily sat at their respective house table with their friends. They chatted happily about the holidays, and of course some gossip, as they ate.

As they ate Lily looked up at the head table at her dads. Scorpius followed he gaze and smiled.

"They are so cute, aren't they?" Scorpius commented.

"Are they that cute in private?" Ivy asked, grabbing a piece of toast.

"Worse. You should have seen them last night. They were disgustingly cute. 'Honey can I get you anything' 'How are you feeling love?' 'Do you want to go to bed baby?' 'Do you need any help sweetie?'. Uh, and all the kissing and goo goo eyes they were making at each other. I felt like my brain was going to disintegrate from all their sweetness. Me and Aph had to hide in our rooms after a while. There is only so much coupleiness one person can take from them."

"Well I think they're cute." Joryden said.

"You guys should come over during the holidays and see them for yourselves. You won't be thinking that after 2 minutes with them." Lily said.

"Alright, Owl and I'll ask my parents." Ivy said.

"Yeah, I'll ask mine too." Joryden said.

"Good. I'll ask them later if you can come over." Lily said.

***AT THE GYFFINDOR TABLE***

Aphrodite was sitting with Carson, Rose, Hugo, Hazel, Rachel, Lauren, and Erin, eating and laughing.

Hazel look up at the head table and smiled.

"Aww, Uncle Sev and Uncle Harry are so cute. I wish my parents were that cute." She commented.

Lauren and Erin follow her gaze, "Are they always that cute?" Erin asked.

"Yes." replied Aphrodite, Carson, Rose, Hugo, Hazel and Rachel.

"And sometimes worse. Uh, like last night. You should have seen them last night. They were disgusting. Making kissy faces and goo goo eyes at each other. Not to mention all the kissing and pet names...YUCK!" Aphrodite added.

"Pet names?" They asked her.

"Yeah like Honey, Sweetie, Love, Cutie pie, Cuddle bear, Sevywevy, Sevybear..." She replied.

Carson laughed, "Sevybear?"

"Oh yeah. Father says he hates that one, but secretly I think he likes it. Anyway they are so gross sometimes." Aph said.

"I still think they're cute." Lauren said.

"Me too." Erin said.

"You two should visit over the holiday break. Then you can see for yourselves how gross they are. We're going home Wednesday after breakfast. I'll owl you guys and you can ask you parents. I'll ask mine later."

"Okay." Lauren agreed.

"Sounds good."

***BACK AT THE HEAD TABLE***

"Speaking of eating more, how is the little Potter-Snape?" Dumbledore asked Harry.

"Fine." Harry replied, one of his hand going to his stomach and rubbing small circles on it. "The baby is very active. Especially when Severus isn't around. I think he/she does it cause he/she missed him."

"We have an appointment with Poppy after breakfast to find out the gender." Severus added.

"Yay! It sounds exciting. You will of course inform me of the gender yes?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course, Albus." Harry said.

The rest of the meal went swimmingly. They chatted, and laughed (or in Severus' case chuckled: He didn't laugh in public). At the end of breakfast Harry and Severus made their way out of the great hall and into the hospital wing. They held hands and talked the entire way. The entered the hospital wing and were immediately ushered to a bed. Poppy drew the curtains around the bed for privacy.

"Lay down and take your shirt off I'll be right back." Poppy ordered as she rushed to her office.

Severus helped Harry remove his outer robes, sweater, and button down shirt. He carefully helped his husband onto the bed and laid him on his back. His stretched, golden stomach was exposed. They stocked it lightly as they awaited the return of Madam Pompfrey. Severus leaned towards Harry's stomach and smiled.

"Hi there little one." He said in a soft voice. "I'm your other dad. The person your inside, he's your daddy. We love you very much and we can't wait to meet you."

Harry looked at his husband, his eyes shining with tears.

"Severus, you are the best husband in the whole world. And the best dad." Harry said, causing Severus to sit up and lean towards him.

Harry closed the distance between them and pressed his lips against Severus'. Severus immediately responded, his tongue tracing Harry's bottom lip, requesting entrance. Harry granted him entrance, deepening the kiss. They kissed for a few more minutes before the sound of someone clearing their throat caused them to pull apart.

"Sorry to interrupt but we have an appointment to continue. Now let's see how the baby is doing." Poppy said waving her wand over Harry's protruding stomach.

"Have you been having any problems?" She asked him.

"No, nothing out of the ordinary. My back hurts, my ankles are swollen, I feel and look like a beached whale. Nothing unusual." Harry replied.

Severus frowned and said "No you don't. I think you look beautiful."

"Awww, Severus." Harry said, tears filling his eyes again.

Severus leaned over and kissed away the few tears that managed to escape.

"Damn hormones." Harry muttered causing Severus and Poppy to laugh.

"Okay everything seems to be in order. Let's see the baby." Poppy said.

She waved her wand over Harry's stomach, muttering a spell under her breath and a 3-D picture of the baby appeared over Harry's stomach. Another wave of her wand and the baby's heart beat filled the room.

"Now, you too want to know the gender?" Poppy asked the expectant parents.

"Of course." Harry said.

Severus grabbed Harry's hand in his as they awaited the news of what they were having.

Poppy smiled and said "Well, congratulations. You're having another girl."

The two men smiled.

"Yay. I was kinda hoping for a boy though." Harry said.

"Well, the next one can be a boy." Poppy said.

Harry and Severus shared looks of shock.

"Well, will have to talk about that but maybe." Severus said.

"Wait, you want more kids after this one?" Harry asked.

"Maybe, I mean I wouldn't be opposed to the idea." Severus replied.

"Good, cause maybe we can have another. A planned one." Harry said with a laugh.

"Alright, the baby is in perfect health. Everything is developing normally. Now do you want pictures?" She asked them.

"Yes." Severus replied.

Poppy waved her wand and a decent stack of sonogram pictures appeared beside the happy couple.

"Alright. Just keep taking your prenatal potions and see me in 2 weeks for your next check-up. If you have any problems come to me. Have a good day." She said with a smile and retreated back into her office.

Severus helped his husband up and helped him get dressed. Together they made their to Harry's classroom. Severus dropped him off with a kiss and made his way to his own classroom.

A/N: Woo Hoo! The end of chapter 9! Now I don't know if wizards have their own christmas songs, like Away in a cauldron or jingle cauldrons... but I just used muggle ones.
