Taji smiled as Harry and Severus held hands and faced the American priest who officiated over the marriage/adoption ceremony. The wedding was in late September about a week before Taji appeared for the first time. The wedding was being held at the Burrow and everyone Harry's friends, teachers, family, the order, etc came to the wedding. The day was perfect it wasn't to cold or hot, the leaves were changing into their brilliant colors. Everyone loved the scenery. Harry and Severus stood in front of the judge wearing special wedding robes; Harry was in dark green and Severus in black. Lily was in a white dress was being held by Molly and Taji had on child sized robes stood next to the happy couple. The priest stood before the family and spoke.
"Today is not only a marriage celebration, but celebration to unite a family. Ladies and gentlemen, two loving adults not only want to commit to each other, but to two children who they love. First, I want to bind the adults. Will you two face each other?" Harry and Severus turned to each other. "Now first do you Severus take Harry as your husband to have and to hold in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Severus said feeling his nervousness over the wedding melt away.
Harry smiled. "Now Harry," the priest continued. "Do you take Severus to have and to hold in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Now put your wrists together." Once the priest saw that they had, he pulled out his wand and cast a spell that caused streams of silver and gold to wrap around the wrists. "Now you two are bonded for life. Bring your children forth."
Molly handed Lily to Harry as Severus caught Taji by the hand to pull him forward. Taji was a little scared about the magic that would be done on him. Severus could see his fear. "It's ok Harry and me are here." Smiling Taji relaxed a little.
"Harry and Severus you two were blessed to have two children brought into your lives. Do you two promise to always protect, love, and educate these children in the way they should go?"
"Yes," the two said in unison.
The priest smiled down at Taji. "Taji do you accept Severus and Harry as your parents and will be a good son to them?"
Taji looked up at Harry and Severus and saw them smile at him. "Yes,"
"Good, since Lily is too young to speak I can tell that she accepts her new parents. Severus please pick up Taji." In Severus arms, Taji grew tense about what would happen. "Now I will bind this family." Out the priest's wand, streams of light circled around the family and bonded them. The priest smiled, "ladies and gentlemen I announce the couple Harry and Severus Potter Snape and their children Taji Rai Potter-Snape and Lillian Eileen Potter-Snape." Everyone clapped and tears flew down the eyes of all the women and Hagrid.

During the reception dinner, everyone congratulated Severus and Harry and wished them a happy life. After dinner and the cake was eaten Harry watched the rest of the wedding from his seat. He loved how the wedding was going so far, there hadn't been any fights yet between Lyra or Hermione. Smiling he watched as Taji shyly danced with Aden on the dance floor. Aden who loved to be the center of attention pulled his baby to the dance floor and tried to make Taji dance with him. Not wanting to upset Aden, Taji swayed to the music. Everyone around them thought they were adorable.
"So Harry," Lyra said sitting down next to him. "Tonight is the big night. Where are the kids going to be when you and Severus have sex?"
Harry blushed. "I'm letting Mr. and Mrs. Weasley take the kids."
"So first time with Severus are you nervous?"
"No," Harry said to quickly.
Lyra could tell he was lying. "Who is going to be on top?"
"Lyra stop, I don't want to think about that until tonight."
"Sorry," she decided to change the subject. "What are you going to have Taji and Lily call you?"
"Well I'm going to be daddy and Severus is going to be father or papa."
"So when are you going to hook me up with Draco," Lyra teased.
Harry was shocked. "What you like him?"
"Somewhat, we're about the same height."
"I don't know if he would go for a non magical person, but I'll ask him."
"Thanks," Lyra kissed Harry on the cheek.
Getting up Harry went to the dance floor and scooped Taji into his arms. "Do you want to dance?"
"Yes daddy. Is that ok Aden?"
"Yes, I'm going to dance with mommy," Aden said running to Lyra.
Taji was happy he had Harry all to himself, but he knew he had to call Harry something else. "Daddy,"
"What Taji?"
"Will I always be with you and Sevy?"
"Yes I promise. You have to start calling Sevy papa."
"Yes sir. Daddy why you and papa haven't danced yet," Taji asked.
"Papa doesn't like to dance," Harry tried to explain.
"Aden say you're suppose to dance at a wedding."
"While, not everyone has to dance. "
"Ok," resting his head on Harry's shoulder Taji let Harry sway to the music.
Harry held his child close to him, he was extremely happy Taji was alive to enjoy the day. Back when Amall hurt Taji, some of the healers said that he wouldn't live to much longer, but Taji had the fought for his life and now he was alive and happy. The only reminder about the event was a scar on Taji's stomach, where his father had stabbed him at, but the healers had made the scar barely visible. The healers had suggested erasing Taji's memory of the event, but Harry and Severus were adamant about it. Severus had argued that the experience would make Taji stronger in the end. Harry didn't know, but he concluded if Taji started to have severe mental anguish over the event; then they would have his memory erased, but so far there have been no signs that Taji was suffering. Harry was glad Taji was with them, but he feared that those Talikins would come back for Taji. He had to force himself not think about it.
After Taji was better, he had told Harry and the others about his race. The Talikins ruled the country of Credraut, which was a country south of the equator. The country was known for its year around warm weather, tropical scenery and exotic creatures. The country had two races the Talikins and humans. Humans were weaker then the Talikins and were oppressed in slavery. Few humans in the country were free, many had to attempt to run away to countries bordering Credraut to escape their imprisonment. The Talikins were a fierce race that was considered feral, by other races, but Talikins were advance in technology. No other country attempted to start war with the Talikins, because the race was born fighters. With the abilities of the race, it was useless sometimes to create weapons. Children since they were born were taught how to fight. At an early age, children were encouraged to fight with siblings to establish dominance and to build up strength. Because of the encouraged fighting children had no normal sibling relationships; it was common to hear about siblings killing each other. Parents had a tendency not to care, because the women were so fertile; they could create more children easily. There were 50 known living children of Amall's; the number was supposed to be higher, but because of the rivalry, over 14 had been killed. Rufio killed most of them, since he didn't want anyone to challenge him for the throne. Rufio had multiple times tried to kill Taji, because he considered Taji his biggest threat for the throne. Taji used his intelligence to escape death by Rufio's hands. Before Amall died he had ruled his kingdom with an iron fist, he couldn't stand to see any of his children weak. For the boys he required them to kill a slave early in life. The girls were required to beat slaves without crying. Some of the more vicious girls like Kaya found it fun to beat the slaves until they were dead.
All the adults were disgusted when they heard what the children were subjected to. Molly had broke down in tears and hugged Taji close to her. She then made Harry and Severus promise Taji would never be subjected to his race again. Of course the pair promised.
"Harry do you want to dance," said Severus behind Harry. Severus had refused to dance at first, but Albus had convinced him to at least do some dancing with his new husband.
"Yes," said Harry smiling. Putting Taji down on the ground, Harry wrapped his arms around Severus. "A year ago, I thought I would be marrying Ginny."
"It's good that potion exploded or we would never being doing this."
"I know, tonight we finally have sex."
"I know," Severus said with a shaky voice.
"Are you scared," asked Harry pulling Severus closer.
"No, I look forward to it."

After the wedding, Taji and Lily went to the Weasley's while Harry and Severus went to a hotel. Severus and Harry were only going to spend one night together; tomorrow they would get the kids, so they could have fun as a family. At the hotel, Harry sat on the bed in only his boxers as he watched Severus get undressed. In only his boxers, Severus sat next to Harry. "You're beautiful," Harry said running his hands over Severus's body."
"Potter I…"
"Shh, let me lead." Harry proceeded to kiss Severus as he laid him on the bed, once Severus was down. Harry rubbed every inch of Severus's body making the older man moan. Liking the reaction, Harry pulled down Severus's boxers and gripped Severus hard penis. "I wanted so long for this." Harry masturbated Severus, once he felt Severus was ready he got Severus prepared.
"Potter I'm older, I'm the one who should be on top," Severus said as he felt Harry position himself.
"Shh Severus and just enjoy yourself," said Harry pushing himself into Severus's bum.
After hours of hot sex, Harry laid next to Severus and took the older man in his arms. "You loved it didn't you Severus?"
Severus turned a deep red. "Yes, it was pleasurable. Next time I'm on top."
"Of course," smirked Harry.

In the dungeons at Hogwarts, Severus worked out a potion to help infertile women get pregnant. After much discussion, Severus had decided to return to Hogwarts, but he only wanted to teach fifth year and up. He was hoping to be able to teach at one of the top wizarding schools in the United States. He had sent out an application that told about his accomplishments, so he was waiting to hear back from them. It had been a month since the wedding and Severus's life was more hectic with Lily around. Taji who was extremely jealous of the baby girl, wanted her to go away, which caused a lot of stress in the house; if it wasn't for Harry being there, Severus would have spanked Taji more. Adding a teaspoon of rat ovaries, Severus mind focused on Harry. Harry had decided to work as in auror. When he and Severus were at work Lily stayed with Mrs. Weasley, while Taji went to a daycare, so he could be exposed to more kids his age. So far, he wasn't having any problems, but Harry and Severus was skeptical that would last. Letting the caldron bubble for a while, Severus started to become nauseous. Shaking off the feeling, he continued to work on the potion, until he couldn't stand to be around it. Feeling sick, he froze the potion and vomited in his private bathroom. He couldn't understand why he was sick, the nausea had started last week and he had thrown up a couple times before. None of the times did he tell Harry. Feeling he needed an opinion, he walked to the hospital ward.
Poppy was making the beds, when Severus came in. "What is it Severus?"
"I've been feeling nauseous; I think the extra potion making has been getting to me."
"Well sit down and I'll see." Obeying the woman, Severus sat on one of the beds, while Poppy scanned him over. When she was done, she had a big grin on her face. "Severus the reason you're nauseous is because you're pregnant."
p.s. Severus is pregnant which is going to be fun to write. Next chapter, Severus's, Harry's and Taji's reactions to the pregnancy.
