Hey there all!

Okay so wow did I get a review and a half today! I mean ouch! I'm laying here bleeding…anybody wanna lend me a hand and help save me!

Right, my writing my not be the best in the world and I may not always keep to my original plans, but I have readers that enjoy this story…right?

And people of this community do care about what is put up on this site! We all do, and as a community we should stand together and be proud of each other, should help each other out. We should criticise but should never be mean or nasty, nor should we make people feel about an inch tall because there is just no need for it. There is enough shit in the world that we don't have to bring it into the one place that we can share and be a part of in peace.

takes deep breath

Okay I feel a little better, if you feel the same then let me know. Would love to hear all of your stories on the matter. And review if you like this story and want me to continue, because if people don't then I don't really see the point of carrying on.

Read on if ya want.

Hermione lay on the bed, her hand rubbing over her pregnant belly. Her eyes stared at the ceiling but it was clear that that was not what she was looking at.

Severus stood in the door way. He had knocked three times and she had not answered. Worry had caused him to open the door and looking in on her. She had not come out for breakfast and she must eat, if not for herself then at least for the baby.

"What do you want Snape?" her voice startled him.

The fact that she had used Snape and not Severus hurt but he said nothing.

"You haven't come out for anything to eat."

Silence.

"You need to eat."

She nodded but still said nothing. He took another step into the room. When she didn't stop him he walked right up to the bed and looked down on her.

She looked tired, her hair was spread out over the pillow and her eyes looked red. He wanted to say something, something that would make her see that he just wanted to help.

"Hermione…"he started to say but she cut him off.

"Don't saying anything. I have something to say." He nodded and let her carry on. She took a deep breath and started again. "I was foolish yesterday. I…I"

She stuttered and stopped. He looked at her, wanting to help but knowing that what ever it was she had to say it herself.

"I heard you talking with Draco Malfoy."

He opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off again.

"Don't say anything, let me finish." At his sigh she went on. "I was stupid because I forgot that you have to live a lie. You are Severus Snape, the bat of the dungeon, the spy."

She struggled to sit up. He helped her and was pleased to see that she did not push him away.

"I see now that you were trying to be the Death Eater that he knows you as."

Snape gave a cruel smirk in agreement.

"I reacted the way I did because I don't know you as that man. I know you as the man that fathered my child. I know you as the man that held me in his arms, the man that could talk to me when I could not hear." She paused and took a deep breath. "It scared me to see how easily you had slipped from one man to the other. It hurt because I was only in the other room, the room that we had…" her voice gave out; she cleared her throat and started again. "The room that we had made love in. The room that I conceived you're child in. I would love to blame it all on my hormones but I can't, I think I am starting to care a…lot about you and that scares me."

She fiddled nervously with the sheet.

"You should sit down for the next bit."

What was she going to say next! Was she going to say that she didn't want to be with him! He wasn't sure he could take that!

"I know who put the spell on us…Me." she looked like she was about to cry.

How could she know and he did not?

"Who?" he said, ready to kill whoever it was.

"Ron…I think I knew from that moment when he said 'that was supposed to be me'. I hid it from myself though. But I faced it last night I think it is only right that you know too. I…" she was going to say something more when Severus jumped to his feet and left the room.

He could hear Hermione struggle out of bed and then walk into the main room.

"What are you doing?" she asked in a panicked voice.

"I am going to kill that little…well what ever I say isn't going to be good for you're ears." He said chucking floo powder on the fire and asking for the burrow.

Hermione snorted at that.

"Like I haven't heard you say them all before." She chuckled.

Snape stopped in shock and turned around to look at his wife.

"What?" she said in defence. "It's true."

He just growled and stepped through the fire, his wife following close behind.

"WEASLEY!" he shouted. "WEALSEY GET YOU ASS DOWN HERE BEFORE I COME AND CURSE!"

A sleepy looking Harry came into the room. He almost smiled at the have crazed Snape.

"You told him then." Harry said to Hermione, and then walked to get a glass of water. "You want one?" he asked Hermione.

Hermione shook her head and grabbed on to Snape's arm.

"Come on, this is silly. You don't really want to do anything when you are this…mad." She said weakly.

"You are sadly mistaken, Hermione." Harry raised his eye brows at hearing Snape call Hermione…well…Hermione. "There are many things I want to do when I am mad! Killing that dunderhead is one of them…" he stopped his rant when a scared Ron walked into the kitchen.

Before anybody could do anything to stop him, Snape was across the room and had Ron up against the wall. Harry and Hermione both started to try and get him off of the red head, but the older man was strong.

"Have you any idea what you did? Well do you?" Snape barked.

The red head shook his head.

"Do you have any idea of the pain that Hermione went through every time I left the room? Do you realise that you have changed our lives forever."

Once again all the blue faced Ron could do was shake his head.

"Get off of him!" Harry shouted.

But Snape just gripped him tighter.

"If you loved her so much why did you not just ask her to marry you?"

Ron tried to say something but couldn't, Snape loosened his grip a little.

"She would have said no." he gasped.

"So you loved her so much that instead of letting her be with whom she wanted you were going to bind her to you."

Ron let his head hang low and nodded.

Growling Snape let go of the red head like he was a piece of filth. The younger man looked up at Hermione and gasped. Frowning Harry turned to look at Hermione and let his mouth fall open.

Annoyed Snape turned to look at his wife. What the hell was wrong?

Cursing he took of his outer robe and quickly put it around his wife.

"What are you doing?" she snapped at him. "They have seen me in my night dress before."

She tried to take the robe of again.

"Not when it's see through." He snapped in her ear.

Hermione froze and turned bright red. Grabbing the edges of the robe she hugged it around herself tightly. She looked up at her two friends who were still staring at her.

"You two are sick!" she spat. She then turned back to Snape and said. "Severus can we please go home?"

Pride swelled up in his chest. He would take her home. To their home. She was his and there was no way that he was going to let her get away from him.

Well there we go another chappy. Did you like it? Let me know. Oh and I meant what I said at the top.

Thanks
