Hospital Wing. Snape watched his wife screaming in pain as the contraction hit her more and more. He has seen all his children in the labor room but this little one is harder than he thought.
The children are worried, especially Aurora, who starts crying over her mother. She hugged Snape's waist not wanting to let it go.
"Is mum going to die dad?" ask her to Snape.
Tristan got an idea. "Oh yes Aurora. And it's all your fault".
"What?" Aurora cried.
Tobias smacked the back of Tristan's head. He scolded him. "What is wrong with you Tristan!? Mum is not going to die. The contraction hit her that's all and it's normal".
"I try to scare her".
"She's your twin you dimwit!"
Madam Pomfrey rushed towards Hermione's bed. "We need a doctor, Professor. A real doctor. Not a witch like me". as she calms Hermione down.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Wait outside. Then I will call you instead professor".
Susannah drags Snape out from the room followed by the others. The door then shut behind them. Madam Pomfrey really doesn't want people circling around Hermione's bed. She needs space.
Outside the Hospital Wing, Snape pacing around. His hand grabs his hair. He spoke.
"We should get your mother out of here. Real hospital I say. We floo! That's right!"
"Dad! Mum can't floo with her condition like this. Try to relax, there is another way Madam Pomfrey will do to your wife".
Henry nods. "I was sleeping inside and then mum came in. Madam Pomfrey asked me to leave my bed". he pointed to the back of his head. "Still hurt I say".
"Isn't it amazing when the bludger hit your head then wiped all your memory". Susannah smirking. Henry is eyeing her. "You're damn lucky".
"Language Susannah". Snape said. "We are not cursing while your mother is still inside!"
Minute later. Snape saw Harry approaching and behind him was a doctor and two nurses following.
Harry stops facing the family. "What the hell!?"
"You cursed dad". Susannah mocking Snape, she smirking. "Uncle Harry".
Susannah notices something is not right with the doctor and the nurse's face. She asks Harry.
"Uncle Harry?"
Harry turn to Susannah. "Yes sweetheart". She pointed her finger to the doctor and the nurse.
"Are they under your spell Uncle Harry? Imperius Curse".
Harry snickering, said. "Oh you good. This curse was one of the three Unforgivable curses, do not use that curse under someone unless it is necessary. I am warning you Susannah. Neither do all of you".
As Harry eyes the children. "I bring the real doctor and nurse for Hermione. Because I know Madam Pomfrey couldn't help Hermione's labor".
"You bet they're still under your spell Potter!" suddenly Snape gently grabs Harry's collar neck.
Their eyes met, Snape hissed to Harry.
"Make sure that no one sees you do your magic outside the wizardry and you will not reveal our world toward the muggle''.
Harry smiled. "Certainly professor. You have my word. Now may you let go of my collar neck so then I can bring this doctor and nurse inside. We are trying to save your wife, aren't we professors?"
"Indeed!"
Snape lets go of Harry's collar neck, then Harry leads the doctor and the nurse inside. The door closed behind.
Susannah and Henry exchanged their looks at their dad. "What was that dad!?"
"What?"
"You try to kill Harry Potter".
Before Snape could answer the question. The door was half open again, Harry out of the room. He turned to the family and smiled.
"Everything is under control now. Not to worry about that". and then they hear Hermione screaming inside the room. Snape tries to get inside, Harry stops him. "You better not be professor".
"She's my wife Potter!"
"Hermione is my sister. We are family now. This is normal processing of childbirth. Haven't you realized the sky is dark?"
Snape's family look outside at the view and yes it is dark. "Children, why don't all of you go straight to the Great Hall. It's time to fill your empty stomach".
Henry nodded agree with Harry, he speak. "Come on. We cannot stay either". Henry looks up at Snape. "Inform us after everything is back to normal dad".
"I will son". Snape looked down at his waist. "Go on, Aurora. You must be hungry and you cannot stay. There are rules where students cannot wander around the castle. And Henry, Susannah.. made sure they went straight to their room after dinner. That is your responsibility toward your siblings".
Henry and Susannah nod understand. Henry takes Aurora's hand and they walk straight to the Great Hall.
Snape and Harry stay behind. Harry smiled. "You know, professor. I never thought you would have a family one day. Hermione is kinda.. awkward".
"Are you mocking me Potter?"
"Not really. The day we've met you in our first year, our year turns upside down. You never give us a chance to talk either as we hear your order. Potter here Potter there. Miss Granger here Miss Granger there. Weasley".
Harry snickering as he studied Snape's face, he spoke back. "Look at you now, old man. Finally you know what love was".
"Your mother Lily's is my first love Potter and she rejected me. I find my love back as I see Hermione entering the Great Hall. So I realized that my wife is my first love, well technically she was twelve and it sounded like I was trying to assault a younger child like hers".
Harry laughs, Snape speaks again. "And everything is changing, Potter".
"Albus? Is he good at potion?".
"Just like you Potter when first you step inside my classroom. Nothing changed. By the way Malfoy.. he's different from his father".
Harry nodded his head. Hermione already told him earlier.
"I know there is a rumor that I'm back with my position in Hogwarts. So did Narcissa come into our house that night about the problem with her only grandson she had".
"So she needs your help?"
Snape nods, "The only person Malfoy could trust is me".
Moments later. The door gently opens, Madam Pomfrey in view as she eyes Snape. She smiled.
"Congratulations professor. It's a boy". Harry patted Snape's shoulder and was proud. "Oh Mr. Potter, the doctor and the nurse are ready for you".
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey". Harry saw the doctor and the nurse standing behind Madam Pomfrey. "Come on then. That was an amazing job that you will not remember any of this. Please this way".
The doctor and the nurse follow where Harry finger points where the corridor was. Snape then whispers to Harry.
"Make sure they will never remember what Merlin is going to do just now Potter".
"I give my word, don't I professor? They won't". Harry, smirking, leads the doctor and the nurse out of the castle.
Snape asks Madam Pomfrey if he can see Hermione inside. But Hermione is asleep after the birth, so did the new born baby after Madam Pomfrey put the baby in the nursery room.
"You can stay here with your wife, professor. There are plenty of beds where you can sleep. I'll make sure that no one will walk in and out from here. She needs rest".
Snape nods. "Thank you Pomfrey". Madam Pomfrey excuses herself, Snape slips inside to see Hermione.
Beautiful. Even after the birth she is still beautiful. Snape takes a seat beside the bed, caresses her wet hair and gives Hermione a kiss on her forehead.
He smile, studied her sleeping figure.
"My love. Thank you for being part of my life. You are my air that I cannot breathe if I lose you. You are everything to me that I could possibly have.. my sun, my heart, my moon, my moment".
Snape leaned closer to his wife, whispers. "You will always be mine, my darling".
