Who Names a Kid Severus…Really?

Aurora Sinistra looked at the engagement ring and then at Severus Snape.  She smacked him upside the head.

"What the hell was that for woman?" he exclaimed. 

"Severus, are you asking me to marry you because I'm pregnant?" she asked him.

"Where the hell would you get an idea as foolish as that stuck in your empty head?"

"Well look at me and the damn situation."

"Your pregnancy has very little to do with this, but it is part of the reason that I am asking you now and not in say, seven months.  I'm asking you to marry me, you air headed twit because I love you.  So, will you marry me?"

"When you put it like that how the hell can I refuse," she said and then kissed him.  Between kisses she said, "Yes!  Severus Snape I will marry you."  They stood up and stayed there for a few long minutes kissing and looking in each other's eyes.  It was the perfect picture of all that sappiness that Severus loathed, but that she managed to bring out in him.  The two of them walked back to the castle together and started up the many stairs to the astronomy tower.

"Let me help you," Severus said, as they were halfway up the stairs.

"I'm not a invalid Severus," she hissed and continued on her way.

"I was just concerned about your delicate condition."

"I'll give you a delicate condition," she sneered shaking her fist at him.  He smirked to himself and continued up the stairs.  She stopped about eleven stairs from the top and looked at him with her eyes wide.  "Oh Sev."

"What, woman?" he growled.

"You could help me now," she said trying her best to look pathetic which wasn't all too hard.

"You threatened me so that I wouldn't help you, and you told me that you're not an invalid, so get your lazy arse up here." He said still smirking.

"You can help me Severus, I don't mind, honestly."

"And why should I?" he asked raising his eyebrow.

"Because you love me," she stated and he sneered and walked down to her and took her hand.

"I'm not carrying you."

"Fine, see if I care," Sinistra said sticking her tongue out.

Later that night Aurora couldn't sleep she kept thinking back on the night and it brought a smile to her face and then she would giggle.  She looked at the engagement ring and giggled. 

"Woman quit that incessant giggling and go to sleep."

"Snape," Sinistra said poking his side fifteen minutes later, "Severus are you awake?"

"What," he growled as he turned to face her.

"I can sleep," she said.

"I really don't see how that's my problem."

"Well you are the one who did this to me, and you could always join Albus in the dungeons and anyways you love me," she said as she giggled and poked him again.

"I guess that its pointless for me to even try to sleep," he said sitting up, "what do I have to do to make you shut up."

"You love me, who would have thought that you would love me?" she kidded as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Don't go all sappy on me woman," he retorted and she stuck her tongue out at him and swatted him on the arm.

"You should talk, I believe that you proposed me on the spot where we began our relationship."

"Technically we began the relationship in that blasted office."

"You know what I meant, you brainless buzzard," she stuck her tongue out at him, "Severus, what are we going to name our children?"

"You mean child."

"No children, didn't I tell you that we are having twins?" she yawned.

"What…NO!"

"Severus we are having twins."

"Twins?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, that means two, now what are we going to name them."

"Are they boys or girls or one of each?" he asked his fiancée.

"How should I know?  I told Poppy not to tell me."

"Well, I suppose we should think of names for boys and girls, I'm quite partial to the name Severus, he told her and Sinistra just looked at him, "I'll take that as a no."

"Damn straight, we are not naming our children after ourselves and ways a daughter named Severina, can you just imagine the teasing she'd get?"

"I just said Severus, I certainly would never name our child, Aurora, he commented snidely, "by the way it would be our son that we named after me not a daughter."

"What about Cassidy and Nadia if their girls?"

"Not Cassidy, what about Natasha and Nisha?"

"I don't know about Natasha but I like Nisha, Chloe and Katia?"

"Nadia and Katia or Katina."

"What about if they are boys?" she asked

"I don't know, Patrick maybe."

"I like that name, what about Casey?"

"I don't know Aurora, Dylan."

"No, Casper?"

"Do you want him to hate us?"

"There is nothing wrong with the name Casper, it means royal, Severus, anyways you're one to talk, who names a kid Severus?"

"My parents apparently, what about the name Caleb," he said.

"Ok, I still like Casper, git," she said yawning and then laid back down and pulled Snape down beside her.  She sat there trying not to giggle as watched him fall asleep. 

"Ah, good morning Severus, Aurora." Albus said as he was joined in the great hall for breakfast Saturday morning.  There were not many people in the great hall that morning just the headmaster, Fleur, Poppy, Flitwick and a handful of students.

"Mornings are not good," Sinistra yawned as she sat down, "How are you Headmaster?"

"Fine, just fine, today is a Hogsmeade visit will the two of you be going along?"

"I don't know Headmaster," Severus answered, "didn't get much sleep last night."

"Now Severus as happy as I am that you are in a relationship I don't think that what you do at nights is a very appropriate conversation."

"Must you be so obscene Albus, last night Sinistra and I discussed baby names for the twins."

"Twins…oh boy, now I'll have two godchildren," he said clapping his hands with glee.

"At least I was not the last to know about us having twins, Aurora," he snipped.

"I could have sworn I told you," she protested.

"Wait a minute Albus, who named you godfather?" Snape asked.

""You mean I'm not," he said sadly, and Sinistra kicked Snape under the table.

"Ow, good grief, wench."

"We haven't decided on godparents yet Albus," Sinistra said, " and with your relationship with Severus we had assumed that you would be more of a grandparent."

"A grandfather, that's by far better." He said standing up and he pulled Severus in to a crushing bear hug.

"I think that Voldemort is afraid of Dumbledore because he could hug him to death," Snape hissed in Sinistra's ear when he was released from the old wizard's death grip.  Then Dumbledore stood in front Sinistra.

"Nope, I'm pregnant your death grip will crush me, so hug Snape instead." She said and Snape had his wand out before the older wizard could even think about hugging him.  To quell her laughter Sinistra clapped her hand over her mouth with her left hand giving anyone who noticed a look at her engagement ring.  Fleur noticed. 

"Aurora," Fleur said, "what is that on your finger?"

"That is a ring," Severus mocked.

"Just an engagement ring, that Severus gave me." She said grinning broadly. 

"That's wonderful news congratulations you two," the headmaster said with a mischievous glint in his sparkling eyes.

"If you hug me again Albus, I will hex you into next week," Snape threatened knowing just the hex to use. 

"Congratulations, Severus, Aurora, what have you decided to name the babies," Flitwick asked saving Snape from another bear hug. 

"We haven't decided yet, but have some choices."

"What are they dear," Poppy asked.

 "If they are girls, they names we like are Nadia, Katia, Katina, and Nisha." Sinistra said.

"All lovely names," Albus said grinning madly.

"And if they are boys, we like the names, Patrick, Casey, and Caleb," Snape said.

"And Casper," Sinistra added quickly and everyone looked at her, "what, I like the name Casper."

"What happens if they are fraternal twins, what will you name them then?" Poppy asked.

"Then…I think we would go with Patrick and Nadia, those two names we both agree on," Snape said.

"I still like Casper," Sinistra pouted.
