A/N: Thank you so much everyone for the feedback. I really loved your reviews!!! Some were so sweet while others well... I could do without, but no they helped!!! Some things were mentioned that really hadn't occurred to me before, so I'll try to keep that in mind and I'll try to be as you say more detailed (even though I thought I was (at least compared to the last chapter shrugs))!!! But you know I really appreciate all the feedback, what doesn't break my heart sniff only makes the writing come better and faster smiles, giggles, and sticks tongue out!!!
Harry entered the Great Hall followed by Severus. Severus went to his usual seat at the head table and Harry moved to the Gryffindor table with Ron and Hermione. People were starring at his slightly large stomach and whispering, but Harry didn't seem phased. Ron wasn't worried and greeted his friend as he came to the table, while Hermione was a little nervous for her friend and how he would handle this.
Dumbledore rose from his seat and quieted down all the commotion. "I have an announcement to make. I would like to congratulate Harry on becoming Harry James Potter-Snape and on the coming baby." At this point everyone began whispering again, but Dumbledore quickly regained silence. "Also the upcoming Quidditch game between Ravenclaw and Slytherin will be postponed for a week as Gryffindor will need to look for a new Seeker! Now let us begin our lunch."
Everyone stayed in silence a moment more, before everyone broke out into talk of Harry and Snape, their marriage, and the baby. Rumors began to circulate about Harry being given a potion by Snape to cause him to fall in love with him or how Snape tried to trick him into having sex with him. Harry found it quite amusing how instead of coming to him, not that he'd tell them mind you, none of their business it was, but he found it amusing none the less.
After lunch the day was rather boring however and Harry had been tired so he went back to their room, he still thought it odd, their room. When Harry woke up it was quite late, he got up and went into the living room to see Severus reading a book on potions. Severus heard him walk into the room, but didn't look up.
"Dinners in the kitchen, there's a warming spell on it."
"Thank you," Harry walked into the kitchen, took the warming spell off and began to eat, all the while contemplating Severus' actions. At sometimes he could be kind and then other times it seemed as if he just tolerated him, Harry couldn't begin to understand the man, but he'd try never the less.
When Harry was finished he walked back into the living room to find Snape starring into the fire.
"Come and sit down."
Harry walked over to the couch and took a seat next to Severus.
"The Headmaster requests our presences in his office after breakfast."
"Alright, did he mention what he needed to talk to us about."
"No he didn't."
"Oh ok."
They sat in what Harry thought was an uncomfortable silence, starring into the fire.
"We need to talk." Harry was surprised when it was Severus and not himself that said this.
"Sure, but could we not make a habit of these serious talks."
Severus just raised an eyebrow in response and continued on with what he was going to say, "Harry, we are married," Severus paused, "and that will mean that we will spend the rest of our lives together and..."
"And?" Harry pressed Severus. Severus stood up and began to pace back and forth in front of the fire, "I just don't see how we are supposed to do this. I mean I don't want the child to be raised here and what kind of job would you get? Would we stay here, should I quit my job, its all just so frustrating in one fateful day, my life has been turned around!"
Harry began to giggle at Severus' little tirade. At hearing Harry Severus stopped pacing and turned to face Harry, "And what pray tell, is so funny?"
"You and your little tirade while pacing in front of the fire."
"And why would you find that funny?"
"Because your worries are so small."
"Small, small? What is so small about trying to figure out what on earth we are going to do with our lives?"
Harry patted the seat next to him and Severus sighed, but sat down anyways.
"We will finish this school year, have this baby, and be great fathers and whatever happens after that, we will take one day at a time," said Harry with a smile on his face. Now he understood why Severus was being so cold, he was just worried about him and the baby. He put a hand over Severus', but Severus pulled it away before Harry's hand could come in contact. Harry looked up at Severus' face as if asking why he kept pulling away from him.
"I've lived alone for about 20 years, I... I'm still not used to... it's just that... nobody's touched me... at all in a long time... I've always had to touch them and... and usually, they pull away, like they were burned or something." Severus chuckled at the irony of it all. Harry grabbed his hand and held it tight to his stomach.
"We're here Severus, you'll never be alone again. Which is probably a bad thing for you, huh?" Harry smiled and laughed a little at Severus' nod. And for the first time Harry saw Severus laugh and smile and it was genuine and Harry found that he loved the expression on his husband and right then and there, he vowed to make him do it again.
Like? Sucked? R&R this was Harry's POV and next will be Sev's!!!
