Intro: Its been 7 months since the war ended along with the death of Severus and the birth of the twins Hermione's adjusted well, being a single mother of twins
Hermione moved into Severus home a week after the twins were born, she welcomed them home 3 months after they were born because they were born premature. The twins Talitha and Alexander were now 6 months old and learning to crawl.
They each had a head of black hair and a pair of beautiful black eyes which they inherited from their father their skin was also sallow like their fathers, but their face and eye shape along with the noise were that of their mother. Some days it was hard for Hermione to look at them only to realize what she lost other times it gave her joy to know he was still with her.
*******7 months later/ 2nd November 1998****
It was a cool late morning in the Snape house Hermione and the kids were in the living room on the floor looking at photos of Severus.
"Your daddy was a wonderful man he saved your uncle Harry and I a lot he loved making potions and was a potion's master and he loved you both so much" Hermione said.
Before turning the page, Talitha immediately put her hand on the photo of Severus.
"Yes, that's daddy darling and he loved us very much" said Hermione.
She was still playing with the babies when somewhere in the house the clock struck 12:00pm, just then there was a flare up in the fire place making the babies whimper, Hermione turned and saw green flames then out stepped her family. Talitha and Alexander perked up and smiled.
They started clapping when they saw their Uncles and grandparents
Hermione stood up from the floor to go greet her family with a hug and kiss.
Harry smiled
"How's uncle Harry's favourite girl, oh you're getting big" said Harry.
Picking Talitha up off the floor, he then settled the little girl on his hip.
Draco picks up Alexander and as soon as Alexander was in his uncles arms the boy tried to grab his nose. Luckily enough Draco moved his face away Hermione put a hand over her mouth trying to top the laughter from bubbling up.
Entering the kitchen/ dining hall the family sat around at the table with the twins sitting in their uncle's lap.
"Since it is a cold mid-morning I thought we could have some nice warm soup is chicken and mushroom soup ok with everyone?" asked Hermione.
"Sure Dear" said Lucius.
They watched her enter the kitchen and began getting all the Ingredients out to make the soup and began preparing.
"Hermione darling why not call a house elf to do that" Narcissa suggested.
Severus never had one mother and I grew up in a muggle household where we did Everything ourselves I'm just so used to doing everything with my own hands rather then using Magic or calling on a house elf and with the way I've been feeling for the last 7 month I've needing to occupy my hands, so I would rather do everything by hand.
After a while the twins were reaching out for their grandparents.
Narcissa and Lucius gladly took the twins.
"Lunch is going to be 30 minutes why don't we go into the living room" said Hermione.
Hermione set the timer and they walked into the living room.
Once in the living room the boys sat on the floor with the twins as did Hermione Lucius and Narcissa sat on the sofa, Hermione lifted her hand and summoned some of the twin's toys to the living room.
Hermione watches as Harry and Draco play with the twins but something catches her eye and she turns only to see Severus sitting in his favourite armchair Hermione smiles she then goes back to watching her kids.
Suddenly Talitha and Alexander got up on their hands and knees and began rocking everyone sat up straight as this was a first for the twins were up on their hands and knees.
"OH MY GOD" Hermione screamed.
"You think they're going to go?" asked Draco.
As he watched his niece and nephew rock back and forth on their hands and knees
"I bet on it" said Harry
"Enough boys and just watch" said Hermione who had not taken her eyes of her children.
5 to 10 minutes later saw the twins first movement the both lift their left hand and the opposite leg at the same time before placing it done and then did it for the right hand and left leg soon they were crawling.
Hermione had a hand over her mouth and tears in her eyes while the boys cheer the twins on as they raced to see who could get to their grandparents first. Severus who was watching started crying as he saw his children crawling for the first time.
You two lean fast just like your mummy he thought. Before disappearing out of sight, Hermione looked over by the chair but saw no trace of her fiancé.
Getting up she walks over to her parents and lifts the twins into her arms. Once both her children were in her arms, Hermione smiled and kissed the tops of their heads before whispering to them.
"Daddy's proud of you both just as mummy grandma grandpa Uncle Harry and uncle Draco are."
Seconds later the timer goes off.
Standing up Lucius takes his granddaughter from his daughter. Together they all walk into the dining room.
They gather around the table Hermione summons 2 high chairs then she and Lucius put the twins into their high chairs and strapping them in, Hermione re enters the kitchen and dishes out lunch setting everything on a tray she makes her way back into the dining hall and setting the tray down handing out their bowl of soup before taking her seat.
The boys and Lucius ate, while Hermione and Narcissa multitask by eating their lunch yet also feeding the twins. When Lunch was over with they all stood up Harry and Draco unstrapped and lifted each twin from their chair and set them on their hip afterwards they made their way back into the living room where they all hugged and kissed goodbye. However, the twins did not want to let go of their uncles, after some time, Draco and Harry were able to hand the twins back to Hermione without a fuss. After seeing them off Hermione turned walked through the door in the living room and up the stairs. By the time Hermione reached the top the twins were asleep.
Hermione walked into the nursery and over to the cots and lade them down and tucked them in before walking over to the door and flipped the switch turning the light off.
"Sweet dreams my little snakes" Hermione whispered.
She smiled as light breezes when there were no breezes blew in from the open widow and made the snake mobiles above the twin's cribs move.
"Daddy says goodnight" said Hermione.
She closed the door before turning and walking into the master bedroom and over to the bed she slipped in on Severus side of the bed she had been sleeping on his side of the bed for the past 6 months.
Hermione pulled the cover up and closed her eyes and went to sleep.
****Another 6 months later/ 2nd May 1999****
Today was both a sorrowful and joyful day for Hermione Malfoy today marked the one-year anniversary of the end of the war, Severus death and the birth of the twins,
****Park****
Currently the Malfoys and Harry were with Hermione and the twins at the park celebrating the twins first birthday. At the moment Hermione and her parents were watching the twins run around with their uncles.
Hermione called them over for presents as well as cake, the twins came running over and barrelled into the mother making the young woman laugh sitting up with both now in her lap Hermione felt a chill and looked over by the cluster of trees where they sat, casually leaning against the tree was her dear Severus
"I wouldn't miss this for the world" he told her.
"He's here isn't" he asked both boys.
When they saw Hermione smile towards a tree Hermione just nodded not taking her eyes of her love,
"He wouldn't miss this for the world" said Lucius.
That comment only made Hermione laugh.
The twins at the moment were sitting in Hermione's lap opening their presents.
They got some clothes and toys from their grandparents when they opened Harry and Draco gift Hermione saw a framed photo of their parents it was a picture of when Hermione was 5 months pregnant and they were celebrating Easter.
The twins were shown the framed photos when something surprising happened Alexander reach out his hand and put it over Severus
"Daddy"
Talitha put her hand on the picture of Hermione
"Mummy"
Everyone went quiet and tears sprung to Hermione's eyes she put a hand over her mouth before taking it away and looking at Draco and Harry.
"Did...did they just speak" asked a tearful Hermione.
"They did sis" said Draco.
Hermione closed her eyes.
Lucius stood up walked up behind his daughter and knelt down and put a hand on her shoulder Hermione lent back and Lucius wrapped his arms around them.
"He is with you always" whispered Lucius
Hermione nodded turned and kissed his cheek.
Afterwards Lucius let go and the boys took the twins while Hermione got up and walked off to the tree where Severus used to sit at.
"It's been a year love, yet it still hurts our babies have grown so much"
Hermione felt his presence behind her and closed her eyes, However Severus cloaked himself so even someone who could see dead people like Hermione couldn't see him. He stood and listened, but he also watched his kids sitting with their grandparents and uncles.
"Sometimes it's hard to look at them because I'm reminded of what I lost and that's you then some days I look at them and feel joy for having a part of you with me still. I know your there every time I look at the kids your there."
She wiped away a stay tear.
Yet the Tears were still streaming down her face as she looked back at her kids. Alexander was wrestling with both Harry and Draco while Talitha sat in her grandmother's lap getting her hair brushed and put back into the ponytail
"There you'll be" Hermione whispered.
Seeing Hermione looking over at them,
"Hey, Alex Telly, why don't we go see mummy?" asked Narcissa
Lucius and Narcissa walked the kids over to their mother, Hermione gathers her kids into her arms and kissed her kid's heads. The kids turned and looked up at Hermione.
Hermione looked into the eyes of her son and daughter and knew she'll have a piece of Severus where ever she is in the form of her son and daughter and he'll be there every time she looked at them.
The sprite of Severus made himself visible to her.
Hermione felt his magic and her head shot up she gasp when she saw Severus he smiled tears visible on his cheeks he knelt down.
"I'll always be there, look at our kids and you'll see me,"
He then reaches over and for the last time kissed his family goodbye.
Standing up he turned and for a second time he saw the light.
Hermione did to, she knew this would be the last time he would ever be able to come back he smiled at his love and walked into the light.
