Chapter 11

At the end of May Snape received an urgent message from Rose "My water broke. Please come it hurts. I need you. I am scared. Rose."

She was early by almost 2 months Snape ran from the room. When he arrived at the burrow Rose's screams told him where she was. She was in a small pink room on the first floor.

Molly seemed very worried and Snape asked "shouldn't we get her to St. Mungo's."

Molly said "Yes but I can't hold her and Sly at the same time."

Snape said "get the boy I will take Rose."

Snape was amazed at the size of Rose's belly there was no way she was only having one.

They got Rose to the hospital Molly had to take Sly out because Rose's cries were upsetting him.

Snape stayed with Rose and the healers helped her deliver. The first baby was a boy with black hair and black eyes just like Snape and Sly. The second another boy with black hair but he had green eyes then a girl with dark red hair and black eyes and finally the last, a girl identical to Rose and her mother with Red hair and Green eyes.

Rose was naturally exhausted and before drifting off she said "Lily, we have to name her Lily."

Snape smiled and said "We will my little flower now sleep, you have earned it."

The babies were very small being premature but because of magic they were healthy. Lily was the smallest and the first born boy the largest.

Rose woke to two people arguing Molly said "I don't need any help I can handle it."

Snape said "They are my children and I insist. I do not doubt your skill and knowledge at raising children. But 4 newborns and a toddler and Rose is going to take time to recover anyone would need some help. Do you have something against houseelves?"

Molly said "no of course not but I do not need two of them."

Rose said "Mrs. Weasley just accept them and thank Severus for the gift. He never gives up until he gets what he wants. Besides he is right you know 5 babies are going to be a lot of work and I won't be able to help for a while and then I will be going to school."

Snape went to Rose and asked "How are you my sweet Rose?"

Rose said "Hungry and bursting full. Where are the babies?"

Four bassinettes were lined up next to the bed Snape said "They are right here?"

Rose said "we need to name them. Do you have any preferences? The eldest I thought we could name Tobius after your father unless you would rather we name him after you. He looks just like you."

Snape said "I think Tobius Severus would be best."

Rose smiled and said "we could call him Tobby at least while he is little."

Snape said "I like that and the dark eyed girl I would like to name Eileen."

Rose nodded and said "Yes Eileen Molly and the green eyed boy I would like to name..."

Snape said "Please do not say James."

Rose shook her head and said "No I know how you feel about my father. I have always liked the name Michael. I was thinking Michael Arthur."

Snape said "it is a good name. So Tobius, Michael, Eileen and Lily. What do you want for Lily's middle name?"

Rose said "Minerva. Do you think that would be alright?"

Snape smiled and said "Yes I think it is perfect."

Molly said "thank you Rose you named your children after Arthur and me."

Rose said "You are both very important to me. My parents died when I was so young you and Mr. Weasley have been just like my real parents taking me and Harry in and loving us and doing the same with Sly and my new babies too. And Professor McGonagall is a very powerful witch who I respect greatly if Lily is half the witch as her name sakes then I will find myself a very lucky mother. That goes for all of my children. Silvester Albus, Tobius Severus, Michael Arthur, Eileen Molly and Lily Minerva. All are beautiful and healthy and I love them all. And all named after strong men and women most of them magical."

Snape asked "Who was the Michael you knew?"

Rose said "One of my former teachers in primary school. He was the one to teach Harry and me sign language. I think he suspected what was happening at home but he couldn't prove it still he was always very nice to me and Harry."

Snape said "well if he was a good man and influenced you then it is right one of our sons is named after him. Molly and I were talking before you woke up about the continuation of you having children. We always knew multiples were possible. Fraternal twins are hereditary but I never dreamed of quadruplets were possible. They are all clearly fraternal. I agree with Molly that you shouldn't have any more until you finish school. As for your little fling over Christmas I am going to pretend it never happened. I am aware more then anyone else how strong your sexual appetite is and I suppose we are not officially a couple but I don't want to hear about what you do with other men. I just ask that when it comes to having children I am the father."

Rose said "I don't think that will be an issue for a long while it will be sometime before I am ready to have sex with anyone and I agree I think I have contributed my fair share for now to the magical population. Let others try to save the world. Now if someone could get me something to eat and hand me one of my babies so I can get rid of some of this pressure before I explode I will be happy. Then I have to let Harry and the others know about the babies."

Snape gave Rose two of the babies and Molly went to find Rose something to eat. Rose started nursing the babies and Snape put the other two babies on the bed so she could nurse them as well.

Snape said "I have to go my little flower. I have a few people to contact. I ran out of class in the middle of a lesson without a word to anyone."

Rose said "I understand but will you come back and see me and the babies again."

Snape kissed her and said "Yes my Rose but I have to go now."

Snape left and a little bit later Arthur came in with Remus. The babies were back in their bassinettes. Rose was sitting up in bed trying to eat with Sly next to her trying to help

Rose said "Sly mama knows how to feed herself."

That didn't stop Sly from shoving a spoon into Rose's mouth gagging her.

Remus and Arthur laughed and Arthur picked up Sly and asked "Where is Molly why would she leave you alone with this terror?"

Rose said "I insisted she go get a cup of tea and leave Sly with me. She and Severus had a bit of a disagreement about accepting some help taking care of the babies and she has been by my side since the labor started. I wish she would go home and get some rest."

Arthur said "I will see what I can do."

Arthur left with Sly and Remus came forward and looked at the babies he asked "What are their names?"

Rose said "the eldest one is the boy with black hair and black eyes his name is Tobius Severus. The next one is the boy with green eyes and black hair I named him Michael Arthur. The girl with Red hair and Black eyes I named Eileen Molly and the one who looks like me I named Lily Minerva. You don't think Harry will mind me naming her after mum do you?"

Remus said "Not after he see's her. Lily is the perfect name for her but why didn't you name either of the boys James?"

Rose said "Two reasons, One I am leaving James for Harry to use. The second Severus hated my father and the name James makes him think of him. I don't want him to hate his own son. Of course Michael looks a bit like Harry and Harry looks like dad."

Remus said "yes he does. Look Rose I can't stay long. I just wanted to make sure you are alright and meet your babies."

Rose smiled and said "they are beautiful aren't they. I think I am going to take a nap. Good night Remus. Stay safe."

Remus kissed her forehead and said "Good night Rosy."

Remus left and Rose fell asleep.

Molly and Arthur helped get Rose and the babies home Snape gave them two house elves a male with Brown eyes and a female with blue eyes the Male was named JoJo and the Female Lolly.

They really did help a lot with the babies and around the house. They both belonged to Rose but seeing as she was still only a child and living with the Weasley's they did what Molly and Arthur told them too.
