Recap: "Are you ready to push again?"

"WHAT?"

I literally stopped breathing. What the hell did this crazy woman say? Am I ready to push again. Haha.

"Excuse me?" I asked as politely as I could. Snape had my daughter in his hands and looked like he was going to drop her soon if someone didn't say something sane.

"You weren't listening were you?" Rosie asked sounding angry.

"When?" I said my voice all crazy and whatever.

"The two of you were bickering and I pointed it out to you and then when I asked if you saw it you both looked guilty and said yes," Rosie said placing her hands on her hips.

I frowned and saw Snape do the same. I tried desperately to think back…

Flashback

"I really hate you! I hope you rot in hell for all of eternity!" I yelled angrily at Snape who just rolled his eyes.

"Really? And then people ask me why I don't express my love for as often!" Snape yelled back.

"…and the twins look to be identical but I could be wrong. I usually am. I think it looks like girls, but once again I could be wrong. I wish I had brought my magic…I could go back for it. Would you like that?" Rosie asked us politely.

"Fuck you!" I bellowed at Snape.

"I believe that's why we're here," Snape replied easily.

There was a pause.

"Did you two listen to a word I've been telling you?" Rosie asked angrily.

Another pause. We looked at each other sheepishly.

"Of course," we said at the same time.

"Well would you like me to?" Rosie asked again.

"No we don't want to make more of an inconvenience," Snape replied and I could see the gears working furiously in his head. He was wondering exactly what happened while we were screaming at each other.

"Well if you're sure," Rosie said and looked at me doubtfully. I just smiled and nodded my head. She turned and left the room and I turned to Snape.

"What did we miss?" I asked quickly. He just shrugged.

"I couldn't hear over your wish for my early departure," Snape hissed.

I growled at him and waved good-bye to Rosie.

"Now we'll be ready for these little darlings any day now," Rosie said but I was too busy trying to magic the cup of water to smash into Snape's head.

"Alright," I mumbled distracted. "Thanks."

"No problem," Rosie mumbled and left the house.

End of Flashback

"Oh my god," I whispered in horror. Snape closed his eyes angrily and turned to me.

"What are we going to do?" Snape asked me sounding worried.

"Well she is going to have to push soon or this baby is going to die. You are going to go into the living room and show off that baby and just wait for the second one to arrive," Rosie snapped sounding outraged that we didn't listen at all.

"I need him here. Please don't leave me," I said grabbing onto Snape in fright. He looked at me and I saw something pretty close to compassion sizzle into his eyes.

"I wont," Snape replied easily and handed our daughter over to some other older woman.

"Mrs. Snape? I need you to push. Can you do that?" Rosie asked me but my mind was spinning out of focus.

Flashback

Hogwarts was filled with students and I walked slowly up to the stool where a grungy hat was sitting peacefully. I swallowed my nerves and placed the hat on my head. It jumped alive and a voice began to whisper into my ear.

"Brains…such smarts for a tiny girl. Ravenclaw would be best for you…But wait? What's this here? Bravery. So much potential! You seem desperate to show people that you're not afraid of who you are. I think I know where to put you! GRYFFINDOR!"

I jumped down from the stool and began to walk back to the cheering table. My legs were weak and shaking. I took my seat and glanced around for the first time. Everything was so amazing. My eyes began to travel along a long table filled with real angry people all the way to another table filled with teachers. I already knew all about them because I must have read all the books on Hogwarts as I could.

I finally settled onto a young man who must have been in his early thirties. He was looking bored as ever and kept glancing moodily at the young students. Despite myself I smiled. I didn't know why it happened but it did.

I turned to Percy Weasley and nudged him. He turned to me with a warm smile.

"Yes Hermione?" he asked politely.

"Who's that?" I asked in a low whisper.

"Professor Snape," Percy said also in a low voice. "Very biased Potions teacher. You don't want to make him angry. He can get very, very nasty. Just ask the twins," Percy said nodding at Fred and George who were craning their necks to look at Ron. I simply nodded but found myself become entranced with everything he did. It wouldn't be long before me crush developed into a full grown, reasonable love.

End of Flashback

"Hermione?" Snape asked nudging me. I turned to him and nodded again. I bit down on my lip and pushed again. I did so for another minute when there was another scream and the baby slid out of me.

"Girl!" Rosie yelled happily and handed me our second daughter.

I fell back into the bed sleepily. Snape kissed me again, this time with even more passion. I kissed him back and felt him brushing my hair on my forehead.

"Hermione?" Snape asked me again and I was handed both our daughters.

"Yeah?" I asked sleepily.

"I love you," Snape said in a low voice.

I looked up at him and smiled. "I love you too."

He simply nodded and took the youngest girl and cradled her gently in his arms. "What are we going to call them?" Snape asked reasonably.

"I think I want her," I gestured to the baby in my hands, "to be Lorelai."

Snape looked over at me and I saw a smile on his face. "I like it. I want her," he gestured to the baby in his hands, "to be Isabelle."

I smiled again. Leave it to Snape to pick the sweetest baby name there is and give it to our daughter.

"I like it," I said simply. "Alright so we have Lorelai Elizabeth Snape and Isabelle…?"

"Eileen," Snape said turning slightly pink. I however nodded happily and kissed his cheek. "How do you feel?"

"Like I just gave birth to twins," I said miserably. "I cant believe we fought through the entire thing. We really are unfit parents! We missed the day we found out we were having twins."

"Yeah well," Snape replied all carefree and such.

One Week Later

Babies cry so much! All they have done is eat, sleep and CRY! I have not slept correctly in days! One baby will be sleeping all peacefully and the other will wake up wailing and then as soon as I settled the other one down, Isabelle will start and re-wake Lorelai!

"Shh," I said soothingly switching the baby around so that she was leaning onto my shoulder. She made small baby sobs and gripped onto my shirt tightly and I smiled to myself. "It's alright. Momma's got you." Lorelai sniffled again and slowly began to go back to sleep as I gently rocked back and forth. Another minute later she was sleeping peacefully against my shoulder. I slipped her back into her crib next to Isabelle.

I crept silently back into bed and collapsed into it. Snape turned over and put his arm around me. Twenty minutes later there was another cry and I slipped out of bed and walked back into the babies room. I picked up Isabelle and rocked her. Snape came up behind me and slammed a tape player onto the changing table. I turned to him questioningly but he just turned it on and all these swishy noises started from the speakers. Isabelle drifted back to sleep and I went back to bed with Snape.

"I told you it would work," Snape said in a thick, sleep deprived voice.

I didn't even have enough strength to say anything. I couldn't because my eyes were closing and my body was slowly relaxing into sleep.

The next morning dawned bright and early. Six in the morning there was a small sniffle and Snape sat up.

"I got it," Snape said yawning and stumbled into the room. I felt myself well up with love and began to cry without control. "Oh not you too!" Snape said coming back into the room with a baby in his hands and a bottle firmly held to her lips.

"I'm sorry," I snuffled with a wet smile.

"Cripes," Snape mumbled and walked back into the room. I slipped out of bed and walked in.

He was singing a song to one baby, while the other baby had his finger firmly. He had such an abundance of love in his eyes that I couldn't stop the smile from coming onto my lips.

"I love you," I said suddenly. He turned to me surprised.

"I love you too," Snape said and hesitated then turned back to the babies. I walked over to the crib and tipped Lorelai into my arms. Snape smiled at me and we both slowly began to feed the babies.

First of all, there is no way I am breastfeeding two babies. I did the first week and I was told that I should stop now because they need to get used to the bottle. So we use the bottle so that I don't have to get up at all hours of the night. Snape also gave me a potion so I don't bleed and another one so that my weight is slowly slipping back to normal. Also any stretch marks I have instantly slipped away.

"My parents are coming over today," I said to him. He turned to me and nodded once. I looked at the tiny baby in my arms and felt another swoop of love.

Lorelai Elizabeth Snape was born at eight-oh-two in the morning of Sunday March 11, 1998. She weighed about eight pounds which is a big ass baby for twins but Rosie said I did amazing.

Isabelle Eileen Snape was born at eight-oh-four in the morning of Sunday March 11, 1998. She weighed seven pounds eleven ounces.

Snape has been an idiot and made me fall in love with him all over again. I mean sometimes the Lorelai will begin to cry and he'll get up quickly so I can drift back to sleep. Or he'll make me breakfast in bed or he'll lay aside articles from the paper that he thinks I might like. Then he gets all upset and embarrassed when I cry or kiss him.

After the girls fell back asleep we stumbled back into the bedroom and lay on the bed not moving.

"Why did you save me?" I asked quietly. Snape didn't answer right away. At first I thought he was back asleep and was all ready to get angry and whatever but then he turned to me seriously.

"What do you mean?" Snape asked now I could tell he didn't want to answer me.

"Why did you not hand me over right away?" I asked staring at him with rapt attention.

"I don't know," Snape finally answered.

"What kind of answer is that?" I snapped at him.

"My kind of answer," Snape replied smoothly.

"Oh don't try that crap with me," I snapped. "You saved me because you loved me."

"Did not," Snape replied angrily and I felt his cheeks flame up.

"Yes you did!" I cried giggling. "And it must have been such a turn on to know that you were saving me from death and that you would forever be me knight in shining armor," I sighed.

"Oh shut up," Snape said and I felt him blush again. I giggled wildly and turned to face him.

"I'm thankful," I whispered into his ear. He just nodded, cheeks still ablaze. "When did you fall in love with me?"

"I am not answering that!" Snape yelled angrily and turned over.

"Oh come on! If you do I will," I said and must have caught his attention because he made a small noise that sounded like a tut.

"Fine," Snape said after a minute. "You go first."

"No you," I said. Snape turned to me with the look he gets when someone doesn't do what he says. "I just gave birth to your children! You go."

Snape growled angrily and cleared his throat. "It was at the Headquarters," Snape mumbled in a barely audible voice. I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm sorry where?" I asked innocently. Snape glared at me.

"Headquarters," he repeated angrily.

"Why?" I asked sounding shocked.

"I had never seen you away from school and you just seemed much more relaxed and you were also much prettier that year," Snape said shrugging.

I just looked at him for a moment.

"Are you insinuating that I wasn't always pretty?" I asked in an outraged voice.

"Of course not," Snape replied and I relaxed, the anger fading from me. "Some men find buck teeth and big hair a turn on," Snape said in a voice I didn't recognize. He was joking with me!

I hit him in the shoulder as he laughed.

"Your turn," he said calming down.

"I am not talking now," I said and turned over.

"Hermione Jane Granger are you going back on your word?" Snape asked in a shocked voice. I growled and turned to look at him.

"I guess it was the first time I saw you. You just seemed so…I don't know, bored. You looked bored and huffy and I thought you seemed funny. Then I met you and saw that you were the farthest person from funny. Also you were always criticizing everything I did. And I loved it," I said stopping.

"You loved it?" Snape asked in another shocked voice.

"Yes you knew that in the real world there wasn't any room for mistakes and that they shouldn't be tolerated," I replied rolling my eyes. "That's what you were going for right?"

"In all sixteen years no one has ever looked at it like that. I just didn't like you," Snape said.

There was another pause and I started to giggle. Soon we were laughing and only stopped when we heard two tiny cries.
