Ok, whoever it is that calls themselves "POAS" PLEASE knock it off right now? Because you have no right to dis on me. LAY OFF. To all other people, please please please no flames!

They were in a Muggle shop and searching for clothes for Severus.

"Bloody hell, 'Mione, come on. You don't expect me to wear that, do you?"

"At least try it on. For me?"

He gave in and sighed, "Alright. I'll try them on. Only because you want me to."

"Thanks, Severus."

"Love you."

"Ditto."

Two minutes later, he came out in the clothes his wife had picked out for him and he got a little peck on the cheek as a reward.

"Now, do I get that every time?"

"I'll think about it. Now go try on your other set."

In the same amount of time, he came out looking surprisingly handsome.

"Now that deserves a kiss."

She kissed him on the lips and he smiled to get back into his previous clothes so that they could buy the new ones and go home. Once they were back in their rooms, they put the new clothes on the couch.

"You know, this arranged marriage isn't that bad."

"I agree."

"Is this what it feels like to be in love?"

"I think so. I don't know about you."

"I think this is the happiest I've ever been. So this has to be love."

There was a knock at the door.

"Severus! Let me in! It's Albus."

"Bloody hell. I'll get it," Hermione teased. She opened the door and Dumbledore entered the room. "Excuse the mess, sir. We just got back from shopping."

Dumbledore picked up one of the outfits curiously. "So this is what Muggles wear these days?"

"Yes, sir, at least it better be," joked Severus, with Hermione at his side.

"It is, Severus, like I told you a million times home on the bus. Quit being so crazy."

"But I thought that turned you on!" he said in a mockingly offended tone. Dumbledore was just standing there watching them go on, quite amused.

"Professor, Madam, I have just come to chat for a minute. I have excellent news. Now don't get your hopes up. The Act has not been repealed. But I think Miss Snape will be pleased to hear that Harry and Ginny are to be married.

"That's wonderful! Where is the little-"?

"Now now, no need for saying anyone's a git, Sevvie."

"Hermione, love, he just called me Sevvie."

"I know."

"As amusing as this is, I also have some potentially upsetting news. Severus, you might have to spend a little time without dear Hermione. Harry has finally found the last Horcrux and asks Hermione's help in destroying the Dark Lord."

"Then I will come with her. No doubt will he try to hurt her as he knows she is my wife."

"True. I will speak with Harry about this. Good night and I will see you both bright and early!"

"Bloody hell. That man makes me insane."

"Then I guess I should be more careful then, shouldn't I?" came an amused voice from the other side of the door.

Snape kissed Hermione again, her arms entangling themselves around his neck. But after 5 seconds, she jumped and pressed his hand to her stomach.

"The baby's moving."

"Wow. It's amazing."

"Still hasn't hit you we're a family, has it, Severus?"

"Now Hermione Jane Snape!"

"Severus Salazar Slytherin, do not use middle names on me. Come on, let's decorate the baby's nursery."

And so they did. When they were done, it was beautiful. There was a crib, a rocking chair, a changing table, and little baby toys put away neatly into a toy box. The walls were a beautiful magenta and light red mix, and it was exactly what they wanted to have it look like. The moment they were finished, he finally realized it. He was going to be a father.

Hermione looked up at her hubby and was sure she caught him smiling. Not the malicious smile, but the warm, caring, brooding one she had grown to love. She surprised him by pecking him on the cheek and then they went to bed together.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

Hermione woke up with horrible back pain and started groaning, waking Severus up.

"Herm, what is it?"

"Bloody back pain."

Severus glanced at her stomach and told her, "No, 'Mione, you're in labor."

Aha! I have done it! CLIFFHANGER! Ooh what do they do now? (evil laugh) I think Hermione's in for a rough night. That's for sure. (barely misses dodging a flying duck) Ok, who threw the duck? (sigh) whatever I guess you'll have to read Chapter 5 to figure me out…I know… I'm complicated. Read on, my fellow fanfictionners! Ok that was really gay but you gotta have a corny moment (throws the duck back) HA! I win! Toodles!
