Chapter 14

"You've been very quiet this evening." Severus said as Alex climbed into bed.

"Didn't feel very chatty… we never discussed it… having more children I mean."

"I know, I've wanted to bring it up but after Marcus I figured it would be better not to."

"I don't think I could handle loosing another child."

"Then lets not loose this one." Severus said with a sad smile.

"Good plan. Now kiss me please."

"So bloody demanding." He laughed, leaning in and giving her a kiss.

"Trying at that baby already?" Alex asked with a laugh.

"Always."

It was still dark out when Alex woke, Severus was sleeping soundly, exhausted from their earlier activities. Alex slowly disentangled herself from Sev and crept to the living room. Something else had been bothering her and that was her sister's appearance this evening.

Anita's presences had not gone unnoticed by Alex. She saw how shaken and guilty her sister looked, her eyes we red, rimmed with dried tears.

Alex could tell that Anita was upset and wanted to talk to her about something but shied away because of the company that joined them. They had been fighting but that didn't mean that Alex stopped caring for her sister's well being.

Caring too much, that had been a problem for Alex for years. Especially while working for Voldemort… it had cost her their son.

"Severus! We can't do this!" Alex said, tossing her black cloak over the back of a chair. They had just returned from a Death Eaters gathering where they received a difficult task.

"Alex I don't want to either, you know I've never liked them but I don't want to be responsible for the death of their child."

"What can we do?" Alex asked, crossing her arms protectively over her pregnant stomach.

"Well there is one thing we could do… but it's dangerous. There's a potion I know of that could… induce labor…"

"Is it dangerous to me or to the baby?"

"To you." He said softly. "We don't have to…"

"Yes we do, it's the only way. I won't be the one responsible for a child's death."

"I'll go get the potion." He sighed, turning from the room and going to his lab.

Alex slowly sipped the thick liquid from the vile. She fought to keep it down. "Ahh!" She screamed, dropping the glass bottle and letting it shatter on the floor. "Severus!" Her hands were protectively holding her stomach.

"I'll get some help." He said quickly, helping her to the bed then running to the fireplace and throwing some powder into the flames.

"Severus?" A voice called.

"I need help, Alex has gone into labor."

"I'll be right there, just let me get Madame Pomfrey."

"Thank you Albus." Severus looked back at Alex, who was laying on the bed breathing heavily. "I'll let them know." He grabbed another handful of powder and threw it to the flames.

"Severus? Why haven't you gone yet?" Came the dark lord's voice.

"Alexandra has gone into labor, I can't leave her by herself."

"This won't go unforgotten Severus."

Hours later Marcus Snape was born, a few months later the child was dead and a threat was followed through on.

That's all for now. Reviews are most appreciated.
