Chapter 3

For the first time in weeks Severus had a chance to sat down and work on names for the baby. So far he had the middle names chosen but he was still working on the first.

These were his top choices

Boys:

Aidan

Brian

Bradley

Cliff

Ravenus

Cavan

Brendan

Eryx

After two hours fifteen minuets of deliberating He finally decided that if it was a girl he would name her Branwen Nichole Snape-Black, but if it was a boy he would name him Ravenus Orion Snape-Black. Severus still had a lot of extra time on his hands, so he decided that it would be best to start on the baby room.

He got up and went over to the door to left of his room. He had all the furniture and paint he just had to put it together. With the help of a few handy spells the room was done in no time. It was now a room with baby yellow walls. He had a white crib sitting in the corner. A changing table on the far wall and several bookshelves filled with all the books he loved when he was young. It was the perfect room in his mind. The only thing that was missing was Sirius standing next to him holding his hand. Severus tried so hard to hide the fact that he missed Sirius, but when it came to things like this he couldn't mask those feelings. He wanted his child to grow up with both of its parents. He wanted to Sirius to watch his child grow up, but most of all he just wanted Sirius back.

"Mr., Snape sir. Missy was told to make sure you eats today. Sir." One of the resident house elves called from the other room. Dumbledore made orders for then to come to check up on him whenever the old man himself couldn't.

"Yes. Yes. I'm coming." Severus called getting one last look at the room.

"You needs to eats, Sir. Missy broughts you some sandwiches, and an orange juice. Professor Dumbledore told Missy to make sure you eat. He says that you haven't been eating enough." The house elf was setting up the table as she said this.

'l really don't need this' Severus thought, 'I can take care of myself.'

"If you don't leave right now I'll give you clothes!" He got his point across. The poor elf must have jumped three feet. Then with a pop she returned to the kitchens to do what ever it is house elves do.

Even though Severus hated to be told what to do he eat the food. He even drank the orange juice. He noted that it was unusually sweet.

After he finished he decided that he had better work on his lesson plans. He worked on them for about an hour and a half when he started to feel a bit odd. Then he was struck with a sudden pain. "OH SHIT!" he was in labor. Wasn't this just the best way to spend his after noon?

Severus made his way as quickly as he could to the fireplace and called Dumbledore. The old headmaster said he be down there quickly, and that he would bring Poppy.

Severus was not a happy camper. Just as another contraction hit he felt a little Dizzy. Be fore he knew what hit him he was out cold. That was how Dumbledore found him.

Dumbledore smiled as Poppy summoned a stretcher to take Severus to the hospital wing every thing was falling in to place perfectly.

When Severus woke up He knew something was off. Why was he in the hospital wing, he thought. He looked down to his stomach and was in shock. Where was his baby? He was about to call out, when Dumbledore walked up.

"Albus where is he? She? IT?! Where is my baby?!" Severus cried out almost franticly.

"Severus calm down." Albus tried to calm him as best he could.

"Where is my baby? Is it boy or a girl? Is it alright? When can I hold it?" Severus was like a child on Christmas, no patience.

"Severus you have to calm down this is very important," the headmaster said sadly. Severus did calm down at this.

"Severus," Albus continued," Your son..."

Severus smiled, "I have a son? Ravenus. His name is Ravenus Orion Snape-Black. Can I hold him?"

"No Severus you can't." Severus frowned; he was about to say something but was cut off. "Severus the boy is dead. He was stillborn. We did what we could, but we couldn't revive him. I'm sorry Severus. I'll put the name on the headstone for you. We already buried him. We thought it would be easier."

Severus was in shock, "When did you have the time?"

"Severus, you've been out for two days. I'm so sorry Severus." Albus left with a sad smile on his face.

Severus sat there in silence for a few minutes. His son was dead without even taking his first breath. Severus finally broke down. He wouldn't even get to see his son's body. Why did this happen to him? Why?

Poppy watched in silence as Severus Snape cried for the first time since he was eleven. All she could think about was how unfair life was. Why did the child have to die?

Well. That's the end of that. Please don't be mad at me. All questions will be answered in the next two chapters.
