Someone You Loved
Chapter 6 - Good Morning
The next morning Hermione awoke before Silas and Piper. She crept out of bed quietly and headed for the shower.
As Hermione was washing her hair a little face appeared at the glass.
'Mummy. I'm hungry.' Piper said yawning and rubbing her dark brown eyes.
'Two minutes baby. I just need to rinse my hair.' Hermione said as she let the water wash out the conditioner in her curls.
'Can I get in?' Piper asked already pulling off her PJ top.
'Come on.' Hermione said with a smile as she lifted the little girl into the shower.
After Hermione and washed and dried herself and Piper she took the little girl down to the kitchen.
'Mummy if I look down the towel will fall off my head.' Piper said sitting straight up.
Hermione laughed at her daughters who just like her had a white fluffy towel wrapped around her body and another white towel on top of her head drying her hair.
'It won't fall off Piper.' Hermione said placing a kiss upon her daughter's cheek. 'You're brother must be tired, he's still asleep!'
'Can I go wake him mummy?' Piper asked with a mischievous smile.
'No darling. Silas obviously needs his sleep.' Hermione said as she turned back to finish off making Piper's pancakes.
'Mummy…someone's at the door?' Piper said as she hopped off her chair.
'I didn't hear the bell.' Hermione said to her daughter.
'There! See!' Piper said as a knock on the door was heard.
'It must be Uncle Harry.' Hermione mumbled thinking that Harry did say he would come round in the morning before Severus arrived.
'Can I get the door?' Piper asked already rushing out the room.
Hermione followed behind quickly ensuring that her daughter was safe opening the door.
'Severus!' Hermione screamed seeing the dark man stood on the other side of the door. 'I…I wasn't expecting you till 11am!'
Severus took in the sight before him. There was his ex-lover wrapped in a white towel, which only the essentials leaving her long legs to be seen. Her curly hair was wrapped up in another towel and he noticed the little girl was covered in the exact same way.
'I…I can come back.' He replied sounding like a teenage boy.
'No…No. It's okay. Come in.' Hermione said. 'Piper let….let Professor Snape in darling.' Hermione said ushering the little girl to one side.
'Are you here to see me?' Piper said as she looked up at Severus who was walking into the hallway.
'I am.' Severus said as he bent down to look Piper in the eyes. His eyes his noted.
'Are you really my daddy?' Piper asked as she looked at Severus.
'Yes.' Severus said and with that he found his arms full with one little girl who was clinging onto him.
'Mummy.' Silas said as he appeared on the stairs.
'It's all right Silas. Come on down.' Hermione said walking to the bottom of the stairs. 'Look who is here.'
'Daddy.' Silas said as he got to the bottom of the stairs.
'That's right.' Hermione said picking up the little boy. 'Why don't we go back to the kitchen and finish off breakfast and then mummy needs to get us all dressed.'
Severus followed Hermione into the kitchen struggling not to stare at her form for too long.
