All character depicted here belong to J.K Rowling and a lot of other people who aren't me. ^_~ Except of course for Minerva Snape, she belongs to DrusillaDax (love ya hon!) and is being used with her permission. This is just a small glimpse into the childhood of Minerva Snape…*evil grin*

Pop goes the question!

"Daddy is there anything you're afraid of?" asked Minerva as she finished up her breakfast cereal. The six-year old smiled up at her father with an expectant look in her eyes.

"No. Nothing," he replied between sips of tea, as he read the Daily Prophet.

"Oh." Minerva turned to look at her mother standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

Hermione smiled at her daughter and nodded. "Go on, sweetie, you can ask."

Turning back to her father Minerva mustered up her best 'I'm-being-serious' look and asked, "Where do babies come?"

Severus spat out his tea. He got up, glanced nervously in his wife's direction and said, "You field this one!" and left the room quickly, disappearing to the safety of his lab.

"Mommy!" Minerva ran over to her mother, tugging at her robes.

"Babies come from a sack inside the mother's body, not the stomach. When they're big enough, they come out."

"Does the Daddy help out?"

"Well, yes, but it doesn't always seem like he does," Hermione said, glancing in the direction Severus had sped off in.

" I heard that!" Severus yelled, but he refused to come out of his lab for the rest of the day. He stayed in there 'till late that night when he was sure his children would be in bed.

AN: Poor Sevie! ^_~  So, how was it? Hope you enjoyed it! More to come!
