A/N: Oh my god I'm up to chapter twenty and I have more than two hundred reviews!! Not only that, but I have a lovely little dedicated fan who is making a website dedicaed to me with my fan fictions on it, and I have a beautiful little Kitten that I love and I just can't stop talking to!! Life is way to perfect right now!
Please review my other works as well. I hope to get at least fifty reviews on all of them and the more reviews I get on them the quicker I update them. My stories are: 'The Unknown' (Lucius based story, very dramatic, eventually Lucius/???), 'I've Never Known Fate' (Another one about Lucius, but has a lot of Severus in it, eventually Lucius/Severus), 'Drawing Circles Round The Moon' (The definative Harry/Draco story, the sequal will be added to it as well), and 'Dances With Draco' (A Ron/Draco fic, but I have no idea where i'm going with it so sugestions are always welcome!)
Chapter Twenty - I Would Very Much Like To Kill You
Things were just getting weird with sleeping arrangments and things amongst the Snape/Malfoy/Potter family. Suffering from separation anxiety, Lucius had taken to sleeping on the floor of the nursery next to Kellan's cot. Draco, not wanting to be to far from Lucius, was sleeping on the sofa in the nursery. Worried about being alone in his room, Harry was now sleeping on Severus' bedroom floor. Severus was the only one still in his own bed.
Ron and Hermione too kept changing their sleeping arrangements... mostly because Hermione was having as much trouble staying away from Kellan as Lucius had! Ron just followed her around because if he didn't she accused him of being heartless and ignored him... something that he avoided at all costs because it had a serious affect on their sex life.
One morning, Harry even woke up to find Hermione sleeping on the floor outside Severus' room, waiting to be let in to go and play with Kellan. Ron was wandering the corridor nearby telling varius Slytherin's to keep it down.
But nights were the worst. Severus was now nine months pregnant and was panicking. No amount of trying to calm him down was working and he had eaten everything pickled in the whole castle. In a vein attempt to help, Albus Dumbledore had gone shopping in a muggle supermarket. He didn't return for three days. A search party was sent out and he was found locked in a freezer and claimed to have been mugged of all the pickled things he had by a bunch of 'lil muggle tykes'.
Lucius wasn't helping things along either, with his sudden need to tell Severus everything about child birth. If Severus wasn't panicking, then he was after he had heard one of those stories.
One Night...
"Harry?"
"Hmmm..."
"How do you know if you're in labour?"
Harry made a noise that had he opened his mouth could have come out as 'I don't know.' Harry suddenly sat bolt upright. "Hmm?!"
"Don't start making a fuss, just go and find Lucius for me." Severus said, it was the calmest he had been for weeks. It was indefinatly Harry's turn to get flustered as he jumped up and ran into the nursery.
"LuciusI'mSeverusLostYouLabourHelpConfused!!!" Harry squeaked with all his might, and somehow Lucius understood him and walked smoothly into he next room. Draco rolled over and yawned.
"Did I just here you right? That Sev is in labour?" Draco asked tiredly. Harry stared at him in bewilderment. How were they understanding that? More to the point, why was everyone calm accept him? "Come lay here with me babe." Draco said, rubbing his hand enticingly over an empty space beneath the big, thick blanket.
Harry obliged without question and curled up on the sofa beside Draco. Harry watched Kellan sleeping for a few moments and smiled to himself. "It's all a bit scary isn't it. The thought that in just three months time we are going to be parents."
Harry felt Draco's whole body stiffen and he became very quiet. Harry looked up at him and, again, the amazingly pale face that the Malfoy's were so famous for was even paler. Harry sat up and pulled Draco into a tight hug. "You haven't really thought about this have you?"
"Well... no. I've been so busy looking after Kellan and dad... What are we going to do once we have kids? We have to find a place for ourselves, we can't live with Dad and Sev forever. Where are we gonna go? How are we gonna support ourselves? Let alone our kids."
"Well, I've been thinking about that for the last few months, and I think I may have a solution. In fact, I know I have the solution, the plan really can't fail."
"Well what is this unfailing plan then?" Draco asked disbelievingly.
"Well by the time we have finished school next year we are both going to be eighteen. When I turn eighteen, they will give me the land that originally had my parents house on it. I still have plenty of money in my vault, so while we are at school, we could have builders make us a house ready for when we graduate." Harry said with a smile. "See. The only way that this could fail is if we run out of money, so we would have to borrow some and pay it back later."
Draco half smiled. "You're a very clever boy. But once you've spent all your money on this house how are you going to pay for food and pay bills and all the rest of it?"
"That one's dealt with too. I've spoken to Dumbledore and as soon as I've left I am eligable to come back as a teacher. It's not a perfect job, but it brings home a lot of money... certainly enough for the four of us to live on."
Draco shook his head. "No wonder you're the saviour of the wizarding world. I love you."
"I love you too." Their lips met for a few seconds before they were distracted by the nursery door opening. Both looked up as a rather nervous looking madame Pomphrey walked in.
"Excuse me, would one of you two like to take this little one? Only, I have to be getting back to the hospital wing." She said, holding out a little bundle of blankets. Draco took the baby and smiled up at her. "She's currently known as baby girl Snape."
"I'm suprised that dad didn't want to hold the baby first." He said and went back to staring at the baby.
"Well, Severus went straight to sleep and Lucius is unconcious so..." but she was cut off.
"Unconcious?! What the hell happened?!" Draco shouted.
"Severus punched him."
A/N2: I know I usually reply to reviews but I have so many people reading this now that it is taking way to long to type it all up, which means you have to wait even longer for the chapter and I don't think that anyone really wants that. If there is something that you possitivley have to ask me and you really really need an answer to then feel free to e-mail me, I love to hear from my reviewers. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! The next one will be up by tomorrow at the latest. Baby Girl Snape's name has been decided and you will have to wait until next time to find out what it is... Luv always, Willow Delace xx
