Chapter 9

"The child would die with you, Harry. You need to think about the repercussions of your choices. You're young, you could have another child. This one simply wasn't meant to be. I'm sorry, m'boy."

"Out. Get out." Harry growled, what little magic in him boiling over.

Dumbledore looked at him, sensing the magic, "Harry, calm yourself or you'll lose your child."

Harry glared at him and suddenly there was a wave a magic that escaped him, knocking him unconscious.

Dumbledore, who was knocked off the stool he was on, got up and yelled for Pomfrey, who came quickly.

He then went directly down to the Potions Master's rooms, knocking softly before entering.

Sev was crying softly on his couch, watching the flames, "What?"

"Its Harry…"

"What?" Sev was instantly on his feet, rushing up to the Hospital wing.

"Severus, can I speak to you in my office?" Pomfrey questioned as he got there.

"Oh gods, yeah…" He sighed as he walked to her office, the tears in his eyes, seemingly unable to come out.

"Severus... he…" Pomfrey paused as Sev sat down.

Chapter 11.

Snape sat slowly, not really wanting to hear the news she was going to tell him; with the way his day was going it could only be bad. He finally looked up at her, his eyes seemingly unattached to the world.

"Severus, he… Harry lost the baby. When he exploded, what little bit of magic that was keeping your child alive, was taken away and the… the child could not survive. I am deeply and truly sorry." She bowed her head, as if to keep Severus' anger at bay.

Snape looked at her with angry black eyes. He couldn't believe that his partner had killed their child, he wasn't about to accept the fact that Harry was the one who killed the baby. Albus must have had a foot in it also. He stood up and walked out to be beside Harry.

"Potter… open your eyes. I need to speak to you." Severus growled, taking a seat beside Harry's bed, "Something's happened and… well you need to know about it."

Harry's eyes fluttered open and he looked up at Sev, anger in his eyes. "What? Did I kill our baby? GOOD." He rolled over and gave Sev the cold shoulder.

"Harry James SNAPE." Severus emphasized the last word, "You'll not act like this, just because you screwed up, you're not going to become some cold heartless bastard."

"You did." Harry said spitefully.

"That's another matter all in itself. I redeemed myself in the eyes of Dumbledore. You can't simply let your life fade away; you've got too much to live for." Severus growled, looking down at Harry with pain-filled black eyes.

"Like what?" Harry asked, his voice dripping with venom.

"Well, not that it really matters… but you've got me, your friends… hell, Harry you're seventeen years old. Can't you simply accept the fact that you've got a lot to live for? You're not some old crone… you're not me." Severus said, the hurt he was feeling was slipping out in his voice and face.

Harry was speechless for a moment, he felt like a dick, having hurt Snape the way he did. He couldn't accept the fact that there was someone else in his life. He could hardly believe that his choices affected the life of someone else. He rolled over and looked at Severus, wondering if what he saw now and heard before was true.

Sev couldn't look at him; he was too afraid that he'd be rejected once again. He was afraid that he'd see hate and disgust in the younger man's face.

Harry looked up at Severus' face, seeking love yet only finding pain and loss. He knew this was something he'd obviously caused.

"Don't you understand, Harry? I'm bound to you and for some reason; it hurts me to see you like this. I can't understand why you're acting so… hateful." Sev said in a hollow voice.

"Sev… I see now what you were saying; I've so much to live for… Just please don't say that you're an old crone… it makes you sound tasteless." Harry said, trying to lighten the mood. He sat up and placed a small loving kiss on his partner's lips.

"Potter… don't play with my emotions. I've lived a long life… and I can't stand to hear words… like this. Word that you don't mean." Severus said, looking down into the pain-filled pools of emerald.

"I love you, Severus Devlin Snape; listen to these words, please."

"Harry… I…"

Harry sat up and caught Severus' lips in a deep loving kiss.

TBC.

AN: Fucking hell. I think I'm going to throw up, I hate lovey dovey shite. Hrm, sorry the chapter is so short, I simply was trying to get something up... R/R.
