Moonlight-I agree they wouldn't do well without each other. That's what I intended, and I'm please so many have noticed that, I wanted it to be noticeably that Harry needed his parents to rely on, and that Severus relies on him and Lea and Emily. Thanks for the review
Sarah-Anna-Thanks for the review, the part about Draco wasn't all my idea, my friend Missy came up with the idea that Draco was a good character that just needed loving which he didn't get from either parent. Originally she thought he should go to live with Severus as well. That was before I came up with Emily's character, that's when I was considering adding my own twist of Harry and Draco being brothers. Krystal then joined us in planning and we came up with the idea of Harry being a twin, and that's how Emily was created. We then had to think about Draco, and decided why not throw in another character, give Lupin a girlfriend and better past and a new son. That's how this all got formed. Funny isn't it. We spent three weeks of lunches planning this, depressing is a better word that we've got so much time on our hands.
momma-dar-Thanks for the review, I'm glad I have people who are so dedicated to reviewing for me, an author appreciates it, I'm sure you know that though. Okay enough babbling onto the story, please continue to review!
Chapter Seven-Survival
Severus sat quietly beside the bed, his large hand clasping the small one of his wife. Her usual soft tanned skin pale and clammy as she fought off an infection. He looked at her face, trying to think what he would be doing if he hadn't met her all those years ago.
"Lea, can you hear me? You've got to hold on for me, okay. I know it hurts right now, but there's a beautiful little baby girl waiting for her momma, Harry and Emily need you too. As much as I hate to admit it, I need you too. Lea, I can't live without you. I did love Lily, Merlin, did I ever love Lily. But You are the person I love now. You are the one I want to grow old with, not because of. Please give my baby girl time to know you, give Harry the chance to be that child he needs so badly. Emily, she's being so strong I know she wants to cry. She's so scared. I wish I could do something for her," he whispered. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, turning he saw Emily standing there, tears in her eyes.
"Daddy," she cried. He quickly pulled her into his arms and kissed her cheek.
"It's okay Emily," he said as she started crying on his shoulder. He rocked her back and forth gently.
"Tell me about my real mother, I'm sure it would help mom too," Emily asked after finally settling down. Severus sighed as he leaned back, her against his chest, she seemed so small.
"You look very much like her, at one point you looked more like me, but you're starting to grow into your mother. She had auburn hair and emerald eyes. She was tall and well built. You're getting all of those qualities very quickly," he said smiling.
"Could she sing," Severus smiled.
"Could she ever, I could tell you the song she first sang to you. She loved to sing, and she only did it once before you were taken away, but she would sing when she was pregnant with you and Harry. She sang just before Leanne took you for safety reasons. She sang all the time."
"What was the first song she sang to me?" Emily asked.
"You are my Sunshine' a sweet muggle song. Read a lot too, like you. She was good in almost everything she did, but perfected in charms," Severus spoke.
"Hey, I'm good in charms," Emily said. Severus smiled.
"See, so much like your mother. Part of me thinks you'll be the spitting image of her when you're an adult. You resemble your brother, but that's starting to change more and more. I see more of her quirks in you too." He said. She looked at him.
"Quirks, like what?" He smiled as she gently began to ring her hands and play with her necklace.
"Whenever your mum got excited or nervous she would play with her necklace or jewelry. When she was going somewhere with someone and was excited she would speak a hundred words a minute. She was smart, the smartest girl I've ever met."
"Did she play Quidditch?" Severus smiled.
"No, she was more of a chess girl. Use to kick my butt in chess. I eventually refused to play her, until she said she would let me win sometimes." Emily smiled.
"What else."
"She once set a dung bomb off in front of McGonagall's classroom so we wouldn't have to go to her class for the final. When McGonagall found out she was pissed all to hell," Severus said smiling.
"I was not," Minerva startled them. Severus smiled.
"Yes you were, threatened to send her home. We knew you would never do it."
"How do you know, I could have," Emily smiled lightly.
"What was she like when she wasn't around daddy?" Emily asked looking up at McGonagall.
"She was a wonderful person, everyone seemed to love her. She was full of love and life for everyone. I love that girl like my own daughter, and sadly this fiend here like my son," McGonagall said touching Severus' shoulder once again.
"Can I call you grandma then?" Emily asked. McGonagall smiled.
"I would of course be honored. Any time you or Harry have a question about your mother, let me know," she said touched the girl's cheek.
"Mmm," came a soft moan, Severus looked up, and smiled softly, allowing her father to get up, Emily moved over to her new grandmother.
"Lea, can you hear me baby?" He asked. Fear gripping his heart.
"Yeah," she said as her blue eyes slowly opened.
"How do you feel?"
"Shit," she whispered smiling slightly. Severus chuckled.
"You did it, we've got a beautiful daughter."
"It was a girl?" Severus nodded.
"Who does she look like?"
"You," he whispered.
"Demetria Amelia," Leanne whispered as she shifted slightly.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl. I'll go get the doctor," she nodded and smiled as he touched her cheek and kissed her.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I know," she said. He smiled again and hurried out of the room. Minerva wandered over towards the bed and touched her surrogate daughter's hand.
"There was a time when he could hide his emotions better than any living person, fatherhood and marriage can do that to a person. He was worried about you Lea."
"I love him."
"You've helped him, I'm glad to see him happy finally," Minerva said.
"We're all going to be happy finally," she whispered. Looking over at her daughter she reached a hand out and pulled the girl close, kissing her forehead.
"Missed you," Emily said.
"I missed you too tiger-eyes. So tell me what your sister looks like."
