Disclaimer: I have faced the facts: I do not own any of this.
AN: Thank you Mark Darcy for pointing out the error in the names in the fourth paragraph. And apologies to my Beta Midnight Lily, she caught the error but I uploaded the unedicted chapter...silly me. My only explanation (not excuse) is it was sometime between 1AM and 5AM when I uploaded it.
Chapter 2 After the Party is Over
"It does not matter what you do in the bedroom as long as you do not do it in the street and frighten the horses." - Mrs. Patrick Campbell
Alexis and Snape finally managed to collect their children and head back to their quarters. Alexis was glad the christening was finally over. The boys were tired and cranky from all the attention and covered in lipstick kiss marks. Someone hadn't used a non-smearing makeup charm.
Alexis and Snape quickly bathed and changed the twins. Snape settled onto the couch and helped Alexis into his arms providing some needed extra hands as she fed both babies at the same time. Soon they were tucking the infants in for a nap.
They had finally decided to let the babies sleep in their crib in the nursery. Snape had set up the Nanny Goat, a type of wizarding baby monitor, next to the crib and Alexis kept the summoning bell with her. So far Alexis had only gotten up about ten times in one night to check on them. She had caught Snape checking on them twice, but he wouldn't admit to how many other times he had checked that she hadn't caught him.
Snape was stretched out on the bed. Alexis looked at her very sexy husband and decided it was time to use some of the advice Molly Weasley had given her. A flick of her wand and Snape was naked on the bed. Alexis was removing her clothes as she made her way to him. She could tell he was awake because he was showing definite signs of life.
Grinning she bounced up onto the bed and licked his erection like a lolly. Without using her hands she began to lick, nibble and suck her way up and down his shaft, paying special attention to the head of his penis. She felt him shift and when she glanced up she saw that he had pulled a pillow under his head to have a better view of what she was doing. Winking at him she continued to lave him with her tongue. A husky whisper, "Use your hands," had her caressing his balls and then forming a tight ring around his girth. No matter how hard she tried, he was simply too large for her to deep throat, but her hands helped give him that extra friction needed to send him over the edge.
Snape always enjoyed watching Alexis clean up after she finished the job: although sometimes the cleanup was just a prelude to another round. This time, when she had finished licking him clean, she began to kiss and lick her way up his stomach, sucking gently on the skin directly above his groin, dipping a tongue into his navel, sliding kisses up to his chest, before grazing his nipples gently with her teeth and then soothing the slight discomfort with her tongue. She was now straddling him, rubbing her wet heat against his renewed erection. She continued her trip up to his collar bone which she followed first one way and then back to the middle and then the other way, leaving small suck marks along the way. She found the pulse in his throat and began sucking it in time with his heartbeat, marking him as hers. His hands were now caressing her hips trying to maneuver her so that he could sheath himself inside of her. Alexis continued to wiggle just enough that it was keeping them both stimulated, but not enough to help him obtain his goal.
She moved from the column of his throat up to his chin and slid her lips along until they were a breath away from his. "Kiss me," he ground out as his hands massaged her bottom. Alexis grinned and with one deft move, managed to thrust her tongue inside his mouth at the same time as she impaled herself on his erection. Snape groaned into her mouth as he felt her surround him and grip him. She was tighter than she had been before the babies thanks to the healing charms and potions that had been used post partum. Alexis held still as she once again got used to feeling so full and stretched. When she was comfortable once more, Snape flipped her so that she was now on the bottom. Grabbing her legs he arranged them over his shoulders and began to thrust into her. She had never felt him go so deep and didn't even try to hold back the moans of pleasure. Snape watched her face and reveled in the sensations he was able to make her feel. With iron control he managed to keep from loosing himself in her. Until he felt her body begin to shudder in the throes of her own climax. As her inner walls massaged him, he was unable to hold back any longer and with one last thrust spent himself inside of her. He reached over and kissed an ankle before he released her legs to slide back down: turning her once again, so that now she could rest on top of him. Summoning an afghan from the foot of the bed, he tucked it around them both and they fell asleep.
The next morning Alexis and Snape were enjoying breakfast in the staff room: one of the perks about eating with the others is that neither Snape nor Alexis had to worry about the twins while they were eating. Someone was always willing and anxious to have a chance to hold and cuddle them, "They are going to be more spoiled than Draco Malfoy," Snape sneered.
"Love doesn't spoil a child. Letting the child have his own way and lack of discipline spoil a child," Alexis said from the depth of her parenting knowledge gleaned from reading every book on the subject, both Muggle and wizard, while she was pregnant.
"And you don't think they are going to give the children anything and everything their little hearts desire?" Snape asked sarcastically.
Alexis looked over to where Flitwick was already trying to get Aleser to hold his wand and Minerva was transfiguring tea cups into mice for Nathair's amusement, "You may very well have a valid point."
Just then a large flying feather duster crashed onto the table in front of Snape. Alexis prodded it with her wand and discovered that it was actually a very old and ancient owl. Alexis took the package and offered the owl water and food, while privately wondering if he didn't need last rites instead.
Opening the package she found two pairs of matching baby booties and a note from Ginny saying that she had made them herself. Alexis showed them to Snape who grunted his approval before turning back to reading his paper.
When they had finished breakfast, Snape told her it was time for another apparition lesson. Wrinkling her nose, Alexis nodded slowly before finding out if anyone would be available to keep an eye on the twins. Poppy and Minerva almost got into an argument over whose turn it was to watch the twins while Filius levitated the carriers out of the room and stole off with them to the charms classroom.
Alexis and Snape snuck away before Minerva and Poppy could realize that they had been outflanked. Making their way to the same clearing they had used before, Snape had Alexis stand with her back to him and try to apparate next to him. Alexis pictured Snape as he had looked last night when she had him in her mouth and suddenly found herself plastered up against him twenty feet away from where she had been. Snaking an arm around his neck she pulled him down for a kiss, "My reward for performing as ordered Professor," she whispered before giving him another passionate kiss.
Snape finally hauled her over to a tree and lifting her robes, found that she wasn't wearing any panties. His eyes darkened in hunger as he freed himself from his trousers and entered her on one smooth move. Alexis wrapped her legs around his waist and leaned back against the tree to give him room to move. It was quick and it was hard, and it didn't take either one long to orgasm. Alexis let her legs slide down his body as he murmured a quick cleaning charm over them and then adjusted their clothing.
"Now do you think you can concentrate on your apparition lesson?" Snape smirked.
"If I get it right again, will you reward me in the same way?" Alexis purred.
Snape leaned close and breathed against her ear, "No."
Alexis pulled away from him and stamped her foot in aggravation.
"That is very childish," he scolded, "Now if you concentrate and work really hard at your lessons and do a very good job, then I might reward you."
Alexis closed her eyes and concentrated and appeared with a pop back where she had originally started.
"Very good, now do you think you can make your way to the edge of the forest where the wards start and back?"
Alexis slowly nodded her head and concentrated. There was another loud pop and she was gone. A few minutes later she popped back soaking wet.
"What happened?" Snape stared at her.
"I missed and ended up in the lake," Alexis admitted trying to wring the water from her hair.
Snape sighed in irritation and waved his wand so that she was dry once more.
"Thank you," she replied stiffly.
"Try again," he instructed.
Alexis closed her eyes the better to concentrate. There was a pop as she apparated. It took her so long to return that Snape was beginning to get worried. Another loud popped announced that she had made it back. This time she was holding two cold drinks and a bag of Honeydukes chocolate. Handing Snape a drink and offering him some chocolate she explained, "Hogsmeade instead of Hogswart."
Snape grabbed the bottle from her hand and took a long drink hoping to cool his aggravation. After draining the bottle he spoke to Alexis, "You are not focusing."
"Can we do an experiment?" Alexis asked after finishing the chocolate she had in her mouth.
"What?" Snape hissed.
"You apparate to where you want me to go and let me see if I can go there then," Alexis suggested.
"I don't see what that will accomplish but very well," Snape sniped.
After he had gone, Alexis finished her drink and ate another piece of chocolate, before focusing all of her attention on where she wanted to go. A wrench and a pop and she was standing next to Snape. Grinning up at him, "It seems I can easily make it to wherever you are. It is just if I don't have you as a beacon, it's pretty much up to chance where I end up."
Snape looked intrigued, "Let us experiment further. I will apparate to Diagon Alley, you see if you can follow me," and he was gone.
Again, Alexis waited before concentrating and this time it was easier. Instead of concentrating just on the place, she concentrated on Snape and suddenly was standing next to him in Diagon Alley.
"Shall we add another element to the experiment?"
Alexis shrugged her agreement wondering if they would have time to shop before disapparating. One look at Snape's face had her reluctantly shelving that thought.
"I will apparate somewhere, but I am not going to tell you where. You see if you can sense me. Do not apparate unless you are certain you have a fix on me. If you do not show up in five minutes I will come back here for you."
Alexis nodded her understanding and watched as he popped out. Waiting a moment, she then began to focus on Snape. Concentrating, she began to sense him, with some effort she apparated next to him in front of Amber's cottage.
Snape stared at her silently. "What?" Alexis asked crossly.
"Meet me back in the clearing," Snape commanded before disappearing.
Amber stuck her head out the door. Alexis waved, "Apparating lessons," she explained with a shrug. Amber nodded and closed the door.
Alexis closed her eyes and concentrated on Snape. Opening her eyes she found herself at the outer bounds of Malfoy Manor standing next to Snape. "Lucius has anti-apparation wards around his homes," Snape explained before disapparating.
Alexis was seriously considering going to visit Narcissa instead of following Snape around the countryside. Checking her watch she saw that it would soon be time to feed the boys. Sighing she concentrated on Snape and popped back to the clearing.
"I am going to have to consult Albus regarding this," Snape said as they headed back to the castle, "I have never heard of anyone needing another person as a beacon in order to apparate."
"I'm just special," Alexis said facetiously.
"At least I know you can't go gallivanting around without me," Snape replied.
"Professor Snape, I'll have you know that it is impossible to gallivant with twins," Alexis tried looking down her nose at him, which considering she was a good seven inches shorter than he was an exercise in futility.
Snape raised one eyebrow at her and smirked.
"How do you do that?" Alexis asked, "I've never been able to raise just one eyebrow."
"I guess I am just special," he deadpanned.
While Alexis collected the twins from Flitwick, Snape went to meet Amber in the Potions lab. He found an Eagle Owl waiting on him. After delivering the letter, the owl took off not even waiting for a treat. The expensive parchment was sealed with the Malfoy crest. Snape began to read the letter and he couldn't restrain a small smile. This unfamiliar expression greeted Amber and Alexis as they entered the room.
"Quick Alexis, shield the boys' eyes, we don't want them to be blinded by the brilliance of Severus' smile," Amber teased.
"I don't smile. I smirk, scowl, sneer and scoff, but never smile," Snape corrected.
"What were you smirking at then?" Alexis asked.
Snape looked at Amber, "This cannot leave this room," at her nod he continued, "Lucius has requested that I make a very special potion for him."
"What type of potion could Lucius want?"
"It is a very complicated potion and extremely expensive to prepare. It is the filia sexus fertilitas potion."
Amber's eyes began to twinkle.
Alexis just looked puzzled, "Exactly what does it do?"
Amber waved her hand in the air managing to look remarkably like Hermione Granger, "I know Professor, I know. Let me explain Professor."
"Miss. Doff, if you will explain," Snape nodded regally.
"The sexus fertilitas potion is a fertility potion that is designed to determine the sex of the child conceived from the union of the imbibers. The filia sexus fertilitas potion insures that the child will be a female," Amber explained pedantically.
Alexis started to snicker, "Trust Lucius not to leave anything to chance."
