Chapter twenty six

That night Harry showered, wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped into his room.

'I hope you don't mind, but I usually don't wear anything to bed, I will if it makes you uncomfortable.'

'No, it's fine and as you've said a few times I do have to get used to this. I'll just shower,' Severus stepped into the bathroom, took his old black robes off, but stood staring down at them and realised that his life has changed now. Maybe he should change the way he looks especially having children, those robes would not be the best thing to wear with young children, not really suitable at all.

Harry was lying in bed and even though he was a little nervous he knew it was nothing on Severus. Both of them knew they weren't going to do anything tonight, they were going to be sleeping together though. He saw the bathroom door opened and Severus stepped out, Harry's mouth dropped open.

'Oh god, you're gorgeous,' Harry blushed brightly making Severus chuckle.

'You didn't expect that I would have muscles.'

'Um, no, that was not in my mind at all. How do you keep yourself so fit?'

'When I can I would work out, my parents old house in Spinners End has a few spare rooms so I set up a work room.'

'You know, I was thinking about doing that here, I realised I grew a bit, I thought I stopped but I haven't, so maybe I could build up a bit.'

'Young men can grow up to their early twenties, so you might grow a bit more, not by much, you've done most of your growing. So if you put a work out room here that is something we could share.'

'Yeah, we could,' Harry noticed that Severus looked nervous, 'Do you want me to close my eyes while you get into bed?'

Severus blushed, 'No, it's fine,' Severus went around to his side of the bed, then quickly dropped the towel and climbed under the covers.

Harry turned on his side and saw Severus lying very stiff, 'Relax, nothing is going to happen tonight, we said we'd take our time. So let's just lie here and talk for a while. One thing we never discussed was how many children we want, we've both said we want a large family but five could be big to some, where nine or ten is what's considered big by others.'

'Five is not big, to me that's more an average size, maybe a little above average size. I was thinking of seven or eight maybe.'

'Sounds good to me, so will you be able to have that many?'

'Yes, I am fit and I've kept myself healthy, so I shouldn't have any problems.'

'You know Sev,' Harry smirked making Severus laughed at the use of his name being shortened like Harry's mother used to say, 'Maybe I could take some time off in about five or ten years and get pregnant myself, it would be interesting to feel what it's like.'

'If you want to Harry, from the research I've done it is a very gratifying to be part of giving birth to your own child.'

'I can see you really embracing the whole pregnancy thing.'

Severus chuckled, something he doesn't do very often 'I believe you are right, I am looking forward to it even with the few downsides to pregnancy and giving birth.'

'What's the downsides to pregnancy?'

'Mood swings, eating strange foods, feeling like you're the size of a hippogriff, not being able to see your feet, back aches, sometimes you can wet yourself just from a sneeze or a cough.'

'Maybe I'll leave it all to you.'

Severus laughed, 'Maybe you will once you see how I am. You were right though, I'm not as nervous as I were, that's twice you've done that. I never saw this side of you before Harry, not until recently.'

'I've used that a lot over the years, sometimes Ron or Hermione would say something that would completely distract me, so I started doing the same thing.'

'It works, you're good at it.'

Harry smiled again then leaned in and kissed Severus, 'Goodnight Sev.'

'Goodnight Harry.'

Harry flicked his wand extinguishing the lights, but he couldn't stop smiling because he knew this relationship with Severus was going to work.

Severus woke the next morning and the first thing he noticed was his arm was around Harry who was up against him, Harry had his head on his shoulder. So Severus didn't move he just stared down at the raven haired young man who was naked beside him. He had been nervous last night but Harry made him feel very comfortable and relaxed, but staring down at Harry now made his body react. Normally he could control those urges, he had done that many times over the years but right now he was finding it difficult so his cock was coming to life. He knew it would normally embarrass him especially with Harry being so close but he could feel Harry's erection pressing into his thigh. Severus knew that young man had more trouble controlling their body than older men and they will often get erections when they sleep, Harry has one right now, a very big and hard erection that was tight against him.

Harry slowly woke, blinked a couple of times then noticed where his head was, he glanced up and Severus smiled down at him.

'You looked so comfortable that I didn't have the heart to disturb you.'

Harry smiled, 'I am and last night's sleep was the best I've had in a long time,' as Harry moved he realised he had an erection, 'Sorry.'

'Don't be, it's quite normal from what I've read.'

'Not normal for me.'

'Maybe that's true, but while you slept you used to have other things on your mind, this time you had a very normal and restful sleep.'

'Yeah, you're right, my sleeping hours weren't the most restful.'

'Since you are awake I'll use the bathroom then get breakfast ready.'

'Okay,' Harry smiled then watched as Severus got out of bed but he did notice the erection Severus had even though he tried to hide it. So Harry lay back on his pillow with his hands under his head watching the man he was going to have a life with. Harry thought Severus moved so graceful even just putting on a bathrobe, but he always thought Severus moved gracefully, it's the only way to describe it.

Over the next few days Harry and Severus got more comfortable with each other, Harry would sometimes visit Severus in his potions room where he had set up all his own equipment. Harry could tell he would need to get more to make this room into a fully functional potions lab, he would also need to get a desk and other furniture for his office. So they spoke and decided to go out together to buy the few things they needed for their home, but for now they didn't interact like a couple would while out in public, they just acted like friends, they wanted to give each other time before everyone else found out.

Severus bought all the ingredients for the pregnancy potion but with all the other potion ingredients he needed to buy no one would pick up on that because those ingredients could be used for a variety of potions, not just for pregnancy. After they finished in the apothecary they went to get some furniture, when that was done Harry had been surprised that Severus wanted some muggle clothes. Since he wasn't a teacher anymore he didn't have to wear robes and Harry got a bigger surprise when Severus bought himself a few pairs of jeans and some very nice shirts, in different colours, not one colour was black, just some of the jeans were black. Harry decided to buy some more clothes while he was there as well, but something else Harry decided to get was contact lenses, they didn't have them in the magical world but since he knew he would shop in the muggle world quite often buying more when he needed them would be easy.

Harry had been reading a book on aurors while he lay in bed, Severus finished his shower, he dropped his towel without hesitation making Harry smile, they were becoming comfortable with each other which Harry was pleased about. But this time Harry noticed a slight difference with Severus, he seemed nervous again and he thought he knew why.

Harry put his book on the nightstand, then turned on his side but he moved until he was close to Severus. As Harry stared up into Severus' dark eyes, his hand moved down to wrap around Severus' half erected cock making Severus' eyes widen and he gasped loudly.

'Feel good.'

'Yes,' Severus said but in a very quiet voice.

'Are you ready to do this?'

'Yes,' again Severus' voice was soft.

'There's no use me saying don't be nervous, but I will say just do whatever you want and there's no use trying to stay quiet, it won't work, so if you want to yell or scream, let yourself go, I know I did whether I wanted to or not.'

'I'm normally quiet and soft spoken,' Severus panted then his eyes closed as Harry's hand started to move faster, 'Oh merlin.'

'Having someone else do this is so much more pleasurable than using your own hand.'

'Your hand feels wonderful.'

'You feel good,' Harry kept his hand moving but he moved up slightly and kissed Severus, at first it was a small kiss, but as his hand moved faster their kissed became heated, hungry, hot, passionate. Then it was Harry's turn to gasps as Severus wrapped his large hand around his erection, so both men kept kissing but their hands were giving each other pleasure.

Harry knew Severus was building, so he removed his hand and heard the disappointment in the way Severus moaned. Harry smiled then threw the blankets off both of them, kicking them down to the end of the bed before he started to kiss down Severus body, licking and kissing his nipples until they hardened, then his tongue was swirling inside Severus' navel before moving further down, down through the light smattering of dark hair, down until he engulfed Severus' leaking erection. Harry moved until he was kneeling between Severus' legs, he had pushed them further apart, and at the same time so as his mouth sucked one hand was massaging Severus' balls, his other hand slipped under and a finger was rubbing against the tight puckered entrance. Harry cast a non-verbal lubrication spell, then slipped his first finger past the tight ring of muscle, he stopped to let Severus get used to the new sensation, then he added another finger. The noises Severus was making was turning Harry on more and one reason was because it was him that was doing this to Severus, he was making the normal quiet stoic man lose control of his voice along with his body. When Harry thought Severus was stretched enough, he's mouth released Severus' erection, lifted his legs, he positioned himself ready to take the man's virginity.

'Try to relax which is impossible, I know.'

'I know what to expect and I want to, so just do it Harry, please.'

Harry smiled, he could hear how much Severus wanted this by his voice but also by the look on his face, so he pushed the head of his cock just inside Severus then stopped again to allow Severus time to adjust to the new intrusion. Harry wanted to tell Severus to relax but he knew it wouldn't work, not until he would start to feel the pleasure instead of the pain. Harry slowly started to move, he pushed a little more, then a bit more and kept going until he was fully inside.

'Breathe and try to relax.'

'I read about this but feeling it is completely different,' Severus panted, 'I'm fine, keep going.'

'Okay, but I'll take it slow,' Harry bent down and kissed Severus, he intended it to be just a quick kiss, but their mouths just didn't want to release the other, they were kissing, it was hot and passionate but at the same time Harry started to move with steady even thrusts. He could feel himself building and he knew Severus wasn't going to last long either, so he wrapped his hand around Severus and moved in time with his hips. Severus came to loud groans, shooting his seed all over himself and Harry's hand, Harry kept his hips moving until he threw his head back as he came, again to loud groans, pleasurable groans. Harry and Severus stared into each other's eyes and even though Harry could tell Severus was a little embarrassed Harry could also see the contentment on his face, exactly what Harry was feeling.
