so long to do! Honest but its here now so enjoy.
Chapter 10
Hermione
Oh god what's happening? I can't see anything. I can't open my eyes. Oh no what's wrong? I can't speak.
Above me I can hear conversations, they seem a bit fuzzy and distant but they are still audible.
"Well that should cure him now. But there is the small problem of Hermione. She has not woken up. I have tried everything to wake her and none of it works, I fear that she is in a coma. I told you this pregnancy would be hard and that it may result in the death of one of them, well now is the time to see if it is true. Her blood pressure is alarmingly low and her breathing is shallow."
That's Albus's voice. What are they doing? Who is he talking to? Where is my baby?
I try and move but find I can't. All I can do is listen to the conversations around me, not be a part of them. What if I have to do this forever?
"I'll leave you two alone." I hear Albus say.
Who? Who is left alone with me? Severus? Ron?
"Its going to be ok Hermione, I love you no matter what." Its Severus oh god it's so nice to hear his voice. But it sounds so far away and sounds as if it's getting further away.
Severus don't go. Why can't I say this to him?
It's getting even harder to breathe, oh someone help me.
Severus
"Its going to be ok Hermione, I love you no matter what." I tell her.
I no what will happen, the same as always happens with me. She is going to die, everyone I have ever loved died. My mother, my sister, my wife, my brother and now Hermione. Do I dare even try and love this child? What if he dies too? I am convinced I have a curse upon me.
I hold her hand and feel an incredibly weak pulse.
"Oh god Hermione I love you so much, I just wish you could hear this. I'm trying to change! I'm I want to be the kind of father you want for your child. I want to change but I can't do it alone I need you, you can't leave me. No Hermione you can't. Don't leave me." I sob into her chest. "Does love mean nothing now?"
I clutch at her hand as I feel her pulse beat slowly and weakly. I can't believe this is happening to her, to me.
Next to me is our son, our son. Looking as peaceful as his mother, but he can interact he can hear and see and feel.
I pick him up out of his cot and hold him gently to my chest. He feels so warm and so comfortable. He looks so perfect. He has Hermione's nose and mouth and my black hair. His eyes are closed but I hope they are like Hermione's, hazel and beautiful.
Oh how am I going to look after him? He is another person! Someone I have to help grow up, to turn into a good person. Someone I have to teach. But as I look at him I realize I want to. I want to teach him, I want to watch him grow up; I want to be his father. No I want to be his dad. I had a father; I want my son to have a dad.
"Hermione what shall we call him?" I ask knowing she can't hear. "I think we should give him a Greek name, something strong. After all our names are Greek, well actually mine is Latin but still. What about naming him after a god? Or a hero? What about Persius? No that's sounds awful. I know what about Heracles? Heracles Romulus Snape. That's sounds good."
I look down at the tiny form of the child in my arms.
"You are going to be a strong person you know, especially with Hermione as your mother, Heracles suits you." I say to the sleeping baby. "Love you so much."
I turn to Hermione, "Hermione I love you more than life its self and I want you to be with me now and forever."
Hermione
Oh god I feel like I'm falling oh god help me.
I can hear Severus muffled and unhappy. Oh how I wish I could see him, speak to him, touch him. But I can't and I don't think I ever will again. I don't I will speak to anyone ever again not ever. I know what is happening. I'm dieing, I wish I could have seen my child properly first. I wish I could name him.
I strain my ears to try and make sense of what Severus is saying.
"Hermione I love you more than life its self and I want you to be with me now and forever." I hear him say in a distant muffled voice.
I will be Severus even if you can't see me.
Severus
I grab her hand, no pulse. I feel her chest no heart beat.
I lay the baby back in its crib and walk out of the room. I wave my wand in the air and whisper "Albus I want you to come down here"
Leaning against the wall I realize how drained I feel and I do nothing to stop the tears falling from my eyes.
"Severus? Has it happened? I feared it would, actually I knew it would." He said with a hand on my shoulder.
"Severus you have to be strong, you have to take care of your child. There was nothing we could have done. You have to let go Severus. Life goes on, even after and during sex, lies and betrayal."
A/N I did it!!!!!!!!!!! Its over I'm free! Heracles may be the subject of a fic though.
