Four years later
September 1998
Remus Lupin was in the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher's office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – his office once again.
Since the position wasn't cursed anymore – for Voldemort had been killed once and for all four months before –, the school's Headmaster had invited him to return to the post of DADA teacher.
Said Headmaster was now Remus's husband and they shared a beautiful wife, as everyone could see in the picture on top of his desk – Severus, Remus and Althea had taken that picture at Severus's mother's house two weeks before classes had begun and Remus had had it framed and put it on his desk.
He sighed, looking at Thea's smile in the picture as she alternated being kissed by Severus and him. She still looked a little pale – her colour and energy levels hadn't returned to normal since an accident at work two days after the end of the war.
An illegal underground lab in the Malfoy Manor exploded when the aurors were entering the grand house.
They were certain the explosion had been intentional, and with double purposes: to destroy evidence of the production of poisons for Voldemort and to kill as many aurors as possible.
In the explosion, Althea – who had been the first inside the house – was caught in the worst of it, being injured and drenched in many unknown potion ingredients.
Severus and Remus had gone mad with worry as she was kept in a sealed room in the St. Mungus Hospital for a full week after that, having several after-effects and nearly dying twice.
That had certainly been the worst week of Severus' and Remus' lives – and that was not an idle statement when one of them was a Death Eater and the other a werewolf.
Remus touched the moving picture and his grim thoughts were blissfully interrupted by the sudden apparition of a tray on top of his desk, carrying his favourite cookies and tea.
He couldn't help but smile; his sweet husband always had food sent to his office if he missed lunch.
He'd have to find and thank him later.
Third week of September
DADA classroom
Remus was closing the cabinets, finishing organizing his classroom, and getting ready to floo home when a floo-call surprised him.
"Mr. Lupin?" Called the voice from the fire.
"Miss Fawcett?" he replied, recognizing the voice as from an auror's that worked for Thea and immediately worrying. "What happened?"
"Oh, nothing serious, Mr. Lupin. It's just that your wife forgot her sweater here in the office."
He frowned, "I appreciate you calling me to let her know, miss, but she can get it tomorrow."
"But..." the auror hesitated. "She's not coming tomorrow, sir. Mrs. Lupin-Snape quit this morning."
Remus froze, feeling lucky the woman couldn't see his face for he was shocked to be hearing that. But he pretended to know about it and replied: "Yes. Of course. Can you send it now?"
"Of course, sir." Said Fawcett. "Tell Thea we'll all miss her very much."
"Sure. I'll let her know." He said, picking up the soft lilac sweater that arrived through the green flames and landed on the rug in front of the fireplace.
Remus looked at the empty fireplace, trying to understand what he had just heard.
Why would Thea leave the Aurors Department without telling us anything?
He closed his office door and walked to the Headmaster's office on that same floor.
Maybe Severus knew something about that.
"Prof. Lupin." Severus greeted him with a smile when he entered his office. "What can I do for you, love? I thought we'd be meeting at home..." he kept on signing some papers.
"Yes, but... do you know where Thea is?"
"At work?" drawled Severus, looking up from his papers and arching an eyebrow at him, finding his question weird.
"Well, she's not." Said Remus. "Apparently, she quit this morning."
Severus stopped writing and looked at him again with full attention, trying to see if his husband was joking or not.
"She quit?" he asked, slowly.
Remus nodded, "That's what Auror Fawcett has just told me."
Severus frowned, confused. "Why would Thea do that? She fought hard to have a solid career. She..."
"Sev..." Remus interrupted him: "Thea hasn't been herself since the accident. She even smells different to my wolf."
He nodded, "Yes, I know, you've already mentioned that. Even Eli has been treating her with overzealousness ever since she returned home from the hospital."
"Maybe she's home." Suggested Remus. "And wanted to surprise us at dinner?"
"Perhaps. However it still makes no sense for her to quit a job she loves." He stood up. "Let's go home and check on our wife."
The two men flooed home right away, being welcomed by silence – which was odd; it was never silent when Thea was home, she was always making some delicious food in the kitchen, or listening to loud muggle music that Severus hated, or helping Eli with house chores.
But there was just silence.
"Eli!" Remus called their elf.
Their nicely-dressed house-elf walked out of the kitchen, looking pale and nervous. "Masters are home! Thank goodness!"
"Why?" worried Severus. "What happened, Eli?"
"Mistress Thea!" Eli cried. "She forbade Eli to tell the Masters what was going on! She forbade Eli and she left!" he had tears in his green eyes and sounded heartbroken. "Eli is a good elf. Eli was helping and obeying his Mistress!"
"Yes, Eli, you're the best." Said Remus, feeling his heart pounding in worry and seeing Severus was seconds away from exploding. "Now, what is going on with Thea?"
Eli shook his head. "Eli can't, Master! She forbade Eli!!" he fell onto his knees, sobbing, wanting to tell them everything but his loyalty to his Mistress stopped him.
Both men exchanged a concerned gaze. If they were to find out why their wife had quit her job and left their home, they'd have to ask their elf indirect questions.
"Is it dangerous?" Severus asked concerned. "The reason she left."
Eli calmed down and stood up straight, realizing he could answer that without feeling the need to punish himself: "No. Not dangerous."
"Ok. That's good." Said Remus, nodding and thinking about the next question: "Does it have anything to do with the lab accident?"
"Yes!" Eli nodded energetically.
"You said she left." Asked Severus. "Was she alone?"
The elf shook his head and seemed even more worried.
Both men froze.
"She was kidnapped?" asked Remus, terror filling his heart.
"No. No kidnappers." said Eli, fidgeting with his sweater. "Mistress said many times she didn't want to, but she felt like shehad to leave. She was deeply sad to leave."
"Why did she leave, Eli?" Severus nearly shouted, running a hand through his hair.
Eli shook his head, unable to tell them the answer to that direct question.
"Fuck!" cursed Severus, sitting on the sofa with his head on his hands.
While Remus paced by the fireplace, "Let's think, Severus! Eli said she left because of something that happened at the lab accident. But it's not dangerous. And she was sad to leave..." He seemed confused. "What could it be? Something to do with the lab accident so serious that forced her to leave us – even though it saddened her, and made her quit her job – but it's not fucking dangerous?"
There was almost a minute of silence, where both men thought hard about what could've been happening with their wife without their knowledge.
"She hasn't been herself lately." Severus suddenly said, slowly raising his head, seeming to begin to understand what could be going on there. "And you said she smells different to Moony."
"Yes, she does." nodded Remus. "Not bad, just sweeter, different."
Severus turned to look at their elf again: "Was it something I said, Eli? Does the reason Thea left have anything to do with something I sometimes say?"
The elf nodded. "Mistress said she was leaving for she'd never want to make Masters sad. It hurt her to leave. But Mistress said Masters would never want it..."
Severus closed his eyes, as if he had received a blow, and shook his head, getting up and seeming agitated.
"What is it, Sev?" asked Remus, anxious. "Do you know why she left? What did you say to make her leave us?"
He exhaled heavily, "I repeatedly said how much I loved our quiet life, Remus. How much I hated the idea of having kids for they'd only ruin it!"
Remus froze, looking at his husband in shock: "She's pregnant?" he gasped, looking at Eli. "She left because she thinks we won't want our child?"
Eli nodded. "Mistress said Masters wouldn't be happy." He paused, before adding. "And Masters always say they don't want little ones."
"Holy shit!" Remus exclaimed. "That's why she smelled different to my wolf!"
"The accident at the lab must've interfered with her contraceptive potion." Said Severus, looking for an explanation. "That's why she hasn't seemed like herself for the past months! She wasn't suffering after-effects from the ingredients she was doused in: she was pregnant!" his voice broke, his heart clenching at the thought of their wife thinking she had to leave to not force their baby on them. "She thinks we don't want the baby. That we'll be upset." he sat down again, nearly hyperventilating.
"Theo." Eli said, sniffling. "Mistress said she'll name the little Master Theo."
The two men looked at him with equal expressions of misery on their faces.
"How... how long ago has she left?" Remus asked Eli.
"About two hours ago. Mistress flooed to Miss Tonks' house."
And the men ran to the fireplace.
Ministry
Althea sat inside the International Departures room, waiting for the time her portkey would activate; according to the wall-clock she still had thirty minutes to wait.
She didn't really want to leave, but she'd never force her husbands to be parents when she had known from the beginning neither men wanted to be a father.
She had never dreamed of being a mother either, but from the moment she had learned there was a baby inside of her, she had wanted and loved him.
It had been a huge surprise for her when she woke up vomiting one morning, worried she was having some long-term side-effects to the potions she had been exposed to in the lab accident, only to have Eli inform her she was expecting.
Sweet Eli.
If she could, she'd take him with her – she would miss him.
And her husbands – she was sure as hell going to miss them. And they'd be so confused by her sudden departure.
Thea closed her eyes, feeling tears falling from them.
That was another unexpected thing: tears. Althea had never been the crying type, but the pregnancy hormones had her eyes leaking like a fountain.
"Going somewhere?" she suddenly heard a familiar voice and looked up, freezing.
"Severus. Remus. What are you two doing here?" she asked, surprised.
"Let's go home, wife." Said Severus, clearly struggling to control his temper. "You're not going anywhere."
"I have to go." She said, standing up. "I won't do this to you. I'll leave and you won't have to go through this."
"Go through what?" asked Severus, narrowing his eyes at her, wanting her to confirm what Eli had told them.
"Being parents." She said, touching her lower belly, deciding not to hide it from them anymore.
She continued: "I won't force you to raise a kid when you never wanted..."
"Force us?" Severus said through his teeth.
Remus intervened before their husband made a scene in a rather public space. "Thea, do you really think we would throw you and our kid to the curb?"
"You never wanted a kid, Remus!" She said exasperatedly. "Severus loves his calm life and hates the idea of having to care for a kid in his own home... and you, Remy... you said more than once you'd never forgive yourself if a kid of ours were born carrying the lycanthrope curse."
Remus shook his head. "That doesn't mean I wouldn't want them, love, if they happened to exist." He touched her face lovingly. "Let's go home and talk about this, Thea."
Severus added: "I've already told the Travel Department to cancel your portkey."
"You can't do that!" she exclaimed, angrily.
"We're your husbands, Althea! You can't leave the country without our authorization! They only booked you a portkey because they thought you were leaving for work!"
She looked at Severus's furious face and frowned, hating the wizarding world's retrogressive laws that stated she belonged to her husbands.
"Fine." She finally replied, seeing she had no other option and following Remus out of the room.
Severus walked right behind them.
They walked out of the fireplace in their home and Severus and Remus wrapped her in their arms, holding her tightly.
"Listen to me," she said. "I know you two don't want this..."
"Shh, love." Severus said, burying his face in her hair. "I thought your running-from-us phase was over, Thea."
Then the two men felt her shoulders shake and looked at her.
"I didn't..." She said through sobs and tears. "I didn't want to leave... I just... I want this baby." She touched her lower belly again. "I know I said I never wanted a kid but... he was made from our love." She sniffled. "I dream of him at night already, I imagine he'll have your hair, Sev, and Remy's green eyes." She looked at Remus.
"Have you been to a healer, love?" asked Remus, softly.
"No." She shook her head. "I went to a muggle hospital. If I had gone to St. Mungus, they'd have told you about the pregnancy. The muggle healer said everything's fine..." she bit her lip, something she always did when she was nervous. "I was worried at first that the baby could have been affected by something that might still be in my bloodstream from the lab accident... but Theo is fine."
"Theo." Said Severus, softly. "Theodore Lupin-Snape." He caressed her belly, noticing it was a little rounder than usual and that gave him a new hunger.
"She'll grow big with our son, Remy." Severus said, looking from her belly to him.
"Yes." Remus smiled wolfishly. "She'll look beautiful. And these" he stopped in front of her beside Severus, caressing her breasts over her blouse. "will get bigger."
"And heavy with milk." Added Severus, licking his lips, seeming really interested in that.
"Yeah." Whispered Remus, eyeing her breasts just as intensely.
"Wait." Thea said, understanding where their minds had gone. "If you two are thinking I'll let you..."
"Let us? Love, you'll be dripping with sweet milk." Said Remus, sniffing her breasts. "Actually... I can already scent it." He vanished her blouse and lowered her bra, licking one hard nipple.
"And it's so fucking sweet." He groaned.
Althea trembled, feeling her hormone-filled body getting ready to have them pleasure her.
"We need to talk!" She said urgently when Severus vanished the rest of her clothes.
"If you mean we must discuss your attempt to run from us." Said Severus, fisting a hand in her hair and tugging. "And take our son from us." He added reproachfully, touching his other hand on her lower belly.
"Do you want him?" she asked, fearing their answer.
Both men looked at her and could see clearly how insecure about their feelings she was.
"We love you, Thea." Said Remus, touching her face. "We want to share our lives with you." and kissing her neck sensually.
"And if we accidentally made a life together." Added Severus. "We're raising him together, with all the love he deserves."
A tear rolled down her face and Remus wiped it with his thumb.
"Now, love." Severus's voice was a velvety caress in her ear. "All I still have to say is: run from us again and I'll tie you to our bed."
Thea shivered at that thought, finding the idea of being tied and ravished by them very appealing.
"Is that a threat or a promise?" she asked breathlessly.
Both men smirked at her need to be dominated.
"Oh, princess." Said Severus, touching her pebbled nipples.
"When we're done with you," he continued. "you'll be covered in cum, dripping it from your cunt, mouth and ass."
"Yes, please, sirs." She gasped and Severus took her lips.
Remus sucked the other nipple into his mouth, as he lowered two fingers to her pussy, entering her slowly.
She moaned against Severus's lips.
"You're ours, love." he said, kissing her and touching her breast.
"Yes. I am." She gasped, riding Remus's fingers. "I love you. I'm yours... please, make love to me."
"No. No love-making for our runaway wife." Said Severus.
"No. She deserves to be fucked." Agreed Remus. "Reminded who she belongs to." He moved the two fingers touching her pussy faster.
"Yes! Fuck me!" Thea begged.
Severus quickly divestoed himself and sat on the sofa, pulling her onto his lap, her back to his chest, giving her no time to think as he thrust into her pussy and began fucking her, pulling her face to the side and kissing her lips.
Remus kneeled in front of her, kissing her belly before going lower to her clit, right as Severus quickened his thrusts.
"Fuck!" Thea threw her head back and screamed in pleasure.
"Yes, princess." Severus growled. "Cum on my cock. Make me fill you up with my cum."
"Yes! Please!" She moaned. "Fill me! Make me drip your seed."
Remus kissed up her body, taking a nipple in his mouth, groaning at her words. "So fucking perfect; knocked up and still begging for cum."
Severus's rhythm faltered for a second and then he was fucking her faster, "Fucking delicious, princess. Want us to breed you again?"
"Yes!" she shouted, getting close to another climax already.
"So take it, love. Take it!" he growled, forcing her hips down and shooting his cum deep inside of her, feeling it drip down his balls.
Severus' hands were on her inner thighs, rubbing his seed on her skin. "So eager to have more cock and cum inside your cunt, love."
"Such a needy princess." Said Remus, standing in front of her and hitting her wet cunt with his dick.
Then he helped her off Severus' lap.
"Do you know what happens now, sweetheart?" he asked her, kissing her lips.
She nodded, "Yes, Remy. Please, I need you."
"Bend over, sweetheart." he ordered. "Hands on Sev's thighs. I want that ass up, like the good bitch I know you are."
She whimpered and obeyed, turning around and bending over her dark-haired husband's thighs, putting her ass on display for their green-eyed husband.
"So wet with Sev's cum for me, sweetheart." he groaned, entering her slowly.
She gasped at the deep invasion, feeling Severus's lips tugging on her nipple.
Remus began pounding her, never giving her a moment to think, his balls hitting her clit, making her orgasm build up fast as Severus played with her tits; she knew nothing but the pleasure her husbands were giving her.
"Get that delicious dick in your mouth, sweetheart." Remus ordered.
And Thea slowly sucked Severus's cock into her mouth, moaning around his girth as she was fucked into another mind-blowing orgasm.
"Fucking golden cunt." Growled Remus as he kept on fucking her and she clenched on his dick.
Severus groaned as she sucked on him deliciously. "You want cum, princess? Want me to fill your mouth as Remy fucks your cunt?"
She hummed around his dick and he fisted a hand in her hair, fucking her face faster.
Remus lost the rhythm of his thrusts as he watched his husband fucking their wife's mouth, drool running down her chin, "She's so fucking sexy!" he groaned.
"Yes, fuck her cunt, Remy!" Severus ordered, seconds before grunting: "Swallow, princess!" and he filled her mouth with his seed while Remus knotted and filled her cunt.
She was too lost in pleasure to be able to swallow every drop of the seed Severus shot in her mouth as she orgasmed once more around the knot near the base of Remus's cock.
"What a messy bitch you are, love." Severus said, smirking as he admired her orgasming with cum dripping down her chin.
When she stopped cumming and Remus's knot receded, they both held her for a while, until Severus picked her exhausted body up in his arms, carrying her to the bathtub, where they tenderly washed her and made it more than clear they loved her and wanted the son they had created together.
Six months later, Theodore Lupin-Snape was born on the eighth of March 1999, with his head covered with thin dark hair strands and his eyes a beautiful green colour.
The healers who assisted the birth told Remus he had nothing to worry about, lycanthropy was a curse and not a genetic condition. Also, they confirmed Theo was the son of a triad – carrying genetic material from all three parents.
As he grew up, Theo's resemblance to his fathers was obvious; Thea used to say the only reason she knew he was her son was because she had birthed him.
When Theo was four, Severus brought up the subject of him needing a sibling.
One year after that talk, Benedict and Harmony Lupin-Snape were born, both brown-haired like Remus, blue-eyed like Thea and bad-tempered like Severus.
Two out of their three kids ended up in Slytherin; the youngest, and only girl of the bunch, was a lioness though.
THE END
