Harry was over the moon. Today was going to be perfect. Or so he hoped. He had learned as he was coming down for the game that Dora had gone into labour. He was so happy he was not even bothered his dad and Dora would be missing his final game. It was against Hufflepuff so there was little chance they would not win. His dad had felt a bit guilty but Sirius reminded him that he and Remus were taking the kids. Besides Harry was so excited about his new baby brother that he would think that his brother was the perfect celebration gift. They had not been wrong at ll. As Harry and his team hit the air for the game Harry's mind was on his new little baby brother. He wanted to win the game quicker then usual for he was anxious to get to the infirmary. He wanted to see his baby brother so badly.
Harry definitely was more intent then ever. And his team seemed to be picking up on it. He had never seen them score so well even against Hufflepuff. Harry had been in the air for juts over a half hour when he caught the snitch. There was no competition as the other seeker was at the other end of the pitch from it. Harry was ecstatic when he caught the snitch and his team won the game 200-10. And of course the cup. He knew his father may have lived the cup in his office but he would have to settle instead for his son's student cup in their apartments. It was not a gift he intended to give to his baby brother.
Harry was over the moon as he cooled down and showered. He imagined Dora's face when she saw the nursery. They had a mural done for the whole room. It was inspired by the school with a huge pitch scene on one wall, the woods with a number of animals on one, the school on the third and a potions lab on the fourth wall. Harry laughed when they included it but that wall also had the book cases and wardrobe so it had been broken up. The room had been filled with toys and stuffed animals and the pictures he and Max and Rory had given Dora for Christmas, were near the rocking chair.
Remus was waiting for him. "Your little brother has arrived. Your dad and Dora have not let anyone in but by the time we get there I am sure they will."
Harry was even more excited. "I was so excited about Max and Rory but this is so different. I can't wait to see my little brother."
Laughing Remus assured him he understood. Harry found Sirius and the kids as well as the Tonks and Malfoys in the waiting room. Andromeda and Ted were over the moon. They had been worried about Severus' age when their daughter got together with him. They wanted grandchildren. They gained one in Harry who they loved. But now they also had a grandson by blood and they knew their daughter and her husband were talking at least one more as they wanted a daughter.
Poppy poked her head out. "Sorry the rest of you but I have been instructed for now only to allow Harry and Remus in."
Harry smiled as he went into the room. Remus had been asked to be godfather. Harry saw his dad was in bed with Dora and the blue bundle was in his dad's arms. The baby had finished his first nurse and his dad had just finished burping him. Harry and Remus went over to the bed side. He was amazed to see his brother had bright pink hair which made him laugh for it was the same color Dora's hair went when she was happy, and her hair was the color right now.
Severus looked up. "I tried convincing your baby brother his hair should be blue as he is a boy but newborns are stubborn. Come meet your baby brother/"
Dora smiled at her husband as Harry took the baby. "I happen to think our son is just showing his Snape roots. All Snape men are stubborn."
Harry laughed and smiled as he looked at his brother. Severus was so happy to see the two together. Since Harry's blood adoption was removed the baby and Harry looked a lot alike. They both looked like Severus, even the hair though the color was different. They shared the same features they got from their mothers. Where Harry had Lily's amazing green eyes the baby had Dora's mocha brown, and he had Dora's nose. Both Harry and his brother were spared the infamous Prince beak.
Harry looked up from his brother finally. "He is such a beauty. Sorry dad but you can not have the cup as your gift. My team beat the badgers."
Severus laughed as he watched his sons together. "You know I cheer for the lions. I am always so proud when mu amazing son, well now oldest, wins a game."
Remus coaxed the baby from Harry's arms so he could sign the birth certificate as a godfather. Before the others were let in though Harry joined his dad and Dora in bed with his brother for a picture. Dora reminded him the frame he had made for Christmas had an IOU for a replacement picture. It held a wedding picture of the three of them but now his brother was there they definitely needed to change it.
Eventually the others were let in. Andromeda and Ted were totally in heaven over their new grandson. And Sirius made a crack that thankfully like Harry the little boy had not inherited Severus' nose. He tried to look hurt t first but he had to admit he was grateful as well.
Lucius looked up from his new honorary nephew. "And what name have you decided to bestow upon this amazing new member of the family."
Dora smiled. "Our older son gave us a bit of help there. We have named our little boy Damon Severus Snape."
They had chosen the name Damon from Greek mythology to honour the Black family, the name meaning constant or loyal. And Harry had assured his dad he was happy for his little brother to carry his name. It usually went to the first born son but Harry had kept the middle name James, to honour the man who protected him. The name was met with great approval. Dora had wanted to make sure to choose a name that unlike her own her father would not be trying to live down for his entire life.

In October Harry was once again in the infirmary to welcome a new member of the family. This little one was met with as much love and affection as Damon had been. No one thought of how she was conceived. Or her true sire in the mental ward. Charlie and Grant had married in June and Grant had done the blood adoption. And when Harry and the Weasleys along with Grant's parents went into the infirmary none of them had seen the couple as happy before as they looked down at their beautiful baby girl. Any doubt Charlie may have had that Grant could love a child that was conceived from his rape had disappeared the moment Grant held his beautiful daughter in his arms. There was no doubt that she did not have her Papa wrapped around her little finger.
The baby was a Page. Grant and Charlie had discussed what name to take when they wed. Charlie had been worried about the baby. But the Pages he said the same thing their son had. The baby was their granddaughter, nothing less, and not matter how many children might follow, she would always be. They were honoured to have both Charlie and the baby carry on their last name.
Stephen bent down and kissed his son as he took his granddaughter into his arms. "She is a beauty Grant, looks just like you except Charlie's red hair and blue eyes."
Grant smiled. "Thanks Dad. I hope I can be half the Papa to her that you have been to me."
Both Grant and Stephen never had to be. They both had adopted the child of the person they loved, by another man. Grant would never have known if he had not stumbled on adoption paper. Stephen had never loved him less then his brothers or sister, or treated him any different. And neither would Grant with the baby. She was his princess and there was no changing that.
Molly got a chance to hold her granddaughter. "And what name have you chosen to give our granddaughter?"
Charlie did the honours. "We have decided on the name Stephanie Avalon Page."
Avalon had been taken from Arthurian legend for the Weasleys. But they had decided to name the little girl for Stephen. It was his amazing example that had Grant step up and be as father to his beautiful princess. Stephen was touched by the honour. Harry happily accepted his new little niece. He knew how lucky she was. She would never know the monster who fathered her. She would always be a Page. She had two daddies who would always love and keep her safe.
George wrapped an arm around him as they watched the daddies with her again. "Albus will never get out or come near her. You are both safe, my love, safe."
Author note: I am considering making this a trilogy so before anyone asks about sequel I am not decided for I know some will ask.
