11 Little Things
Alarmed, Severus quickly pulled his robes on and wrapped the covers around Sirius, who groaned in another wave of cramps. He carefully put his arms around his lover's shoulders and under his knees and lifted him up; kicking the doors open and slamming them shot behind them on his way to the infirmary. He was so excited!
Poppy had already sensed the nearing birth through a charm she had put on her patient before to alert her, when the contractions began and had called Albus as well to help her.
The headmaster held the doors open and Severus entered, Sirius panting in his arms. Carefully he laid his charge down on the bed, never letting go of Sirius' hand. His lover groaned, when the water fell and they knew it would only be a matter of hours before their daughter would be born - very long and painful hours for Sirius.
Sirius sleepily opened one eye. Warily, he looked around, finding Severus sitting next to him on the bed. His lover smiled adoringly and pointed at a crib near them. Sirius sighed. When Poppy had told him they had to make a caesarean, he was afraid that his child might get some damage, but now he was relieved. Everything seemed fine, more than fine!
"Severus?"
"Yeah, love?"
"How is she?"
"Amazing."
"Our daughter.have you thought of a name by the way?"
"I thought you did."
"Well - I did."
"What is it?"
"Serena."
"That's definitely her."
"Then it's Serena."
Blissfully, he went back to sleep. He was absolutely exhausted after the hours of contractions and the surgery afterwards. His little, precious family could wait a little - for once!
