The two were sitting on the large cushiony sofa in Severus' quarters. The two now married and living together all in the span of two days, had quite a bit to think about. The two were complete opposites, that fact wouldn't and couldn't change, but now each had to adapt to the daily presence of the other, but before any of that could happen they had to start over. This fact both knew, the question was how? How do you start over with someone who's hated you for as long as you can remember?
"I forgive you," blurted out Harry who broke the dead silence that they had been sitting in for the past few hours. "I forgive you even though I shouldn't. You raped me, the Boy who Lived, You student, someone young enough to be your son, but none of that matters, because it was Voldemort. It was a murderer and you the spy. If you had refused he would have killed you and had someone else rape me. And I know that even though you had to do it, you were just trying to protect me by being the one who did it and not someone else who would have hurt me more. So instead of me saying I forgive you for something that wasn't your fault. I just wanted to say, to say Thank You Severus."
For once in his life Severus Snape had nothing horrible to say as a matter of fact he was left quite speechless at the moment. All of that was true, but there was more.
"Pot-, Harry, I've never hated you, but I had to put on an act just in case. And all that stuff I've put you down with in class it was to prepare you for the harshness of life, especially yours, Po-, Harry. I just wanted to protect you just like I would have any of my students, even though I try not to show that side of me." Snape finished the hardest speech of his life. He didn't show emotion and that was a known fact, but it had to be said, that's what they both needed to hear.
"I've never hated you either. I just couldn't understand why you hated me, but again you're forgiven. It was something that was out of your control. Now if you'll excuse me between a wedding, a pregnancy, and a whole lot to think about, I'm completely exhausted and need to go to bed," finished a rather worn looking Harry.
"Yes of course there is a bed prepared for you in the room I've attached," stated Severus.
"Why is it in another room?" asked Harry.
"Where would you put a bed, Mr. Potter?"
"Are we back to that now?" asked Harry who closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Snape clearly seeing that Harry was exhausted and a bit emotional from the pregnancy didn't want to put the child or Harry in danger and quickly apologized, because despite popular opinion, Snape did have a heart. You just had to dig a couple of 100 feet or so to find it.
"I apologize, Harry."
"There's no need to. I just simply thought that since we are now married we would be sharing a bed, but I suppose not."
The thought had never even crossed Snape's mind, he didn't think he was ready for that, especially since his bed had been vacant for years, but he did this to the boy, so now he's making up for it. "Is that what you want?"
Harry stopped rubbing his temples, turned to Severus, and opened his eyes. "It's your quarters Severus, it's what you want that matters."
Snape thought about it for a few minutes then picked Harry up and carried him into his bedroom and put him on the bed. The two of them had showered separately and changed into their pajamas before they went to sit and think on the couch. Snape then walked around the bed and got in on his side of the bed. With his wand he dimmed the fire, so it didn't bother them while they slept, but kept them warm. Then he put his wand on the night stand and turned to Harry would had taken off his glasses and put them on the night stand.
"Harry, don't expect me to always be this nice to you. It just so happens that you are carrying my child and for that I am grateful and will do everything in my power to protect the child and it's father."
"Severus, I didn't expect you to take a few vows and everything would be fixed between us. It doesn't work like that. I realize that I do and the only thing I ask you is that you give it the one thing I never had, and that is a loving father and I'm not talking about myself."
"I think I can do that," replied Severus.
"I think you can to, that's why I chose to marry you," he smiled the first genuine smile he had since that day five months ago.
Severus was shocked, "You really believe that I would be a loving father?"
Harry opened his eyes again and yawned, "Of course I do, I think you in a way love all you students, you just have an odd way of showing it is all."
"Out of all my years teaching you're the first to notice."
"No Severus, I'm the second. Why do you think Albus gave you the job in the first place just because you needed saving and he desperately needed a potions master."
Harry smirked and Severus glowered, "It's true though Severus. Albus has seen it and that why he thinks you're such a good teacher. And you'll make a great father too."
Snape smiled and closed his eyes ready for sleep.
Harry whispered quietly, "Severus, Severus are you still awake?"
"Yes, what is it Harry?"
Harry grabbed Severus' hand, but Severus yanked it away. Harry frowned and Severus slowly gave it back. Harry took that hand and placed it on his stomach.
"Do you feel it?" And sure enough Severus felt two little feet right under Harry's rib cage.
"I'll think he'll be a quidditch player, what do you think?"
"I'd have to agree with you."
"Good night my angels," And with that Harry went to sleep. Severus could have sworn Harry said angels, but then again he was tired too and he too soon fell into the blackness of the night.
