Even with his dads and husband with him Harry was in an absolute panic. He watched as the doctor was examining him to see how it was going. The pain was limited thanks to the potions and his husband assured him the baby's heart beat was good from the monitors. But he would not believe it till his son was safe in his arms.

The healer looked up. "It seems that your labour is progressing fast here. You are fully dilated and this little one will soon make his entrance."

Harry was still anxious and scared. He had planned on a birth at Hogwarts with Poppy to deliver the baby. "Is he going to be okay?"

The healer smiled. "Your baby is well developed and a good size. Your husband is right, his heart beat is strong."

Harry knew that the healer was telling the truth or so he believed it to be. Unlike his husband and dads who might just be trying to reassure him. Harry clung to his husband as another contraction had started and they even with the potions were becoming more and more intense. The healer left him for some time. It was about an hour later when they got close enough that he would need to start pushing.

Draco came back in from the hall. "Blaise has arrived with your Aunt and cousin. They send their love and will come in when the baby is here."

Harry was between contractions so he smiled when he heard that. "Thank your husband for bringing them for me. I am happy she will be here."

The Weasleys were there as well which was no surprise at all. The healer though cut off talk and said it was time to push. Draco and his dads remained there but Remus ad Draco took a step back. Lucius had been surprised when Harry had grabbed for him.

Lucius kissed his son on the head. "Are you sure? Your dad or your brother..."

Harry shook his head. "Please father."

Smiling he kissed his son again and assured Harry he would be there if he waned him. He was reminded of when Severus had helped Harry with his scars. Harry had only gone through it the first weeks because Lucius was by his side. Back then it was because his father was new to him and he was not afraid to show him he was hurt or scared like he was to Remus and Draco. Now he knew it was because Harry loved Lucius as deeply as Remus and due to that earlier experience, he depended on him sometimes more for his strength.

The healer looked up a he finished pushing through another one. "I can see the baby crowning here Harry. With the next contraction you're going to have to harder."

Harry grimaced. "I am pushing as hard as I can. I can't do this any more. It hurts."

Severus kissed him and brought out a little stuffed bear. "Yes you can. Just picture our precious little boy in our arms. Just picture our sweet little man."

Clinging to his husband and his father though absolutely exhausted Harry started pushing as best as he could. He was so tired and it hurt so badly but he wanted his little boy in his arms. He was about to give up when his son came into the world.

As he collapsed back against the pillows the room filled with the amazing sounds of a baby crying as the doctor smacked him. "Here is your beautiful little prince."

Harry caught sight of his son and he had tears streaming down his cheeks. "How is he?"

The healer smiled. "I will let my nurse give him a check up but he looks good. His lungs are healthy."

Harry wanted to see his son but Severus reminded his husband the healer was right. The nurse needs to examine their son and make sure he was okay. Besides the healer was busy getting him cleaned up. The canal needed to be closed and he would need fresh sheets and a gown.

Harry looked at his husband. "Go see our son and cut his cord please. Tell me how he looks."

Severus kissed him. "If you're sure."

Nodding Harry smiled as his husband had to stop himself from running to the area where the nurse was. He could not see his son but he could see the look on his husband's face. He had never seen Severus happier even on their wedding day. It was the same look his dads had when Emma was born. When his husband came back he had a small blue bundle in his arms and sat down on the bed with Harry and placed the baby in his arms. Their son was the spitting image of Severus right down to his silky hair and long gingers except for his nose thankfully and when he opened them, he had Harry's green eyes.

Harry looked at the healer though before they left. "He is healthy right?" Even holding his son in his arms he was not sure.

The healer nodded. "Your son is healthy. I want to keep you three days just to be careful but he can stay here in your room with you instead of the nursery."

Harry practically cried in relief. His dads and brother came over for a look but the left him and his husband time to bond with their little boy. He could see from their relief they had been just as worried as Harry was about the baby born so early. The healer helped show Harry how to nurse as his little boy needed one.

Harry did break into tears as his son latched on. "This is incredible Sev. I have never felt anything like it. I can't believe this little guy is mine, ours."

Severus kissed him tenderly. "Yes he is our little prince. I know three days is a bit longer then we planned but he will be home soon. Healthy, strong and safe."

Harry and his husband spent an hour together watching their little boy nurse and after burping as he drifted off. Neither could take their eyes off his precious face. He understood his husband's look earlier for he was more in love with this little boy then he ever imagined possible. He had waited so long for this moment.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Everyone in the waiting room had been so excited to find out that the baby was born healthy and strong. They thought it was the Malfoy grandsons being intent on going to school with each other. The babies were both stubborn as their daddies.

Molly shared a smile with Remus. "Heaven help the school when Dante Malfoy-Zaibini and Baby boy Snape in there start school. They will be a handful."

Blaise looked up from his sleeping son. "I think Severus will be thrilled if he is headmaster by then. I don't think he could handle being head of house by then."

Though one would be his son and the other would be his nephew, the thought made them all laugh. There was oddly no argument that both would be snakes. After all both boys had snakes for both of their dads. Technically Harry had been a lion once but he was a born snake. Family was not always in the same house but usually.

The nurse appeared in the doorway finally. "The dads are ready to show off their son now. You can all come in."

Petunia beamed when she heard the news. "I always regretted I was not there when Lily gave birth to my nephew, she asked. I am honoured to be here."

His dads smiled and knew that Harry was just as happy she was there for him. The closeness they had achieved over the last few years meant a lot to Harry. He had a family he loved more then life who shared no blood but he definitely was happy to have his only blood family in his life as well. Well now he had his little boy too.

The two dads were together in the bed and Severus had finally commandeered his son for a while. "Come in everyone and meet our precious little boy."

Petunia came over since Draco and his dads had seen him first. "He is beautiful Harry. Thank you for letting me be here. I always regretted not being here for Lils."

Hugging his Aunt he would not have had it any other way Harry also hugged his cousin as well. He wanted them to both be a part of his son's life now. Having grown up with no family for his Aunt and cousin had never been able to be close to him when he was a kid, he wanted to give his little boy all the family he could.

Molly accepted the baby and looked down at the little boy. "He is quite the beauty Harry. You know this little one is definitely a grandson to us."

Harry nodded. "I appreciate that Molly and you know I would not have it any other way."

As the baby was making his rounds the nurse came in with the paper work. Harry and Severus knew everyone was excited to learn the name but they decided to dangle that for a bit. They handled the godparents first.

Harry looked at his brother. "We decided that we could not pick a better godfather for my little boy then his proud Uncle Draco."

Draco beamed as he looked over at his nephew. "You know that I would be honoured."

They had considered asking Blaise as well but Harry and his husband had decided to go for the traditional, a godfather and a godmother. They had made an almost as obvious choice for the godmother. Harry loved Draco as if they were raised brothers but his other choice was someone who meant nearly as much to him.

He smiled. "We considered you Blaise but we wanted more traditional. I have asked if Hermione would be his godmother. She is unfortunately away right now."

Blaise smiled and hugged him. "You know I definitely understand even if we named you both for Dante. I know Hermione has been like a sister for you for years."

Hermione had been honoured when he had asked. He had considered Blaise or Luna; one of the Weasleys but Hermione was there from day one. Luna was his sister but so was Hermione, She had met him on the train when they were eleven and they had always been there. She and her husband were in Bulgaria for the holidays with his family. Since the baby was not due for three weeks she had not thought there was a chance she would miss his birth. She could sign the forms later on.

Lucius looked at his grandson he had finally claimed. "And what name have you guys finally settled on for our precious little grandson here?"

Harry was given the honours. "We have decided to name our little guy Robert Triton Snape."

Severus explained. "Triton is the largest moon of Neptune for his Black heritage but is also a flower in the Iris family for Lily, and Petunia."

Harry looked at his son. "Robbie was to be born on January 25th, Robert Burns' night. We decided because tomorrow is New Year's Eve the name was still fitting."

They had wanted to honour some family traditions and like his sister and nephew they took inspiration from literature. He knew both his dads loved Robert Burns. Among other things Robbie Burns was the writer of the poem used for the lyrics of Auld Lang Syne, the famous song sung on New Years.

Remus kissed his grandson. "Sirius and your mother would be honoured to be included in your little boy here Harry. You know they and James are watching."

Harry nodded. "And so is little Jamie. But we wanted to honour you two as well. You guys inspired Robert and we chose a moon because of you father."

Their first son had been named to honour Harry's beloved godfather and birth father. They had wanted this time to honour some family traditions instead and give their little boy hi own name. They had definitely been inspired to go unique when Draco had chosen to name his little boy Dante.

Arthur looked t them. "I think the dads probably could use some rest as the baby is sleeping. There will be plenty of time for us to visit."

Petunia was one of the last to leave and came to kiss both her nephews, with Dudley. "I am touched you included me in that honour. Thank you Harry."

There had been a time when Harry was growing up he may never have considered a floral name. He had never been close to his Aunt. But she had shown her true colors when her husband was arrested. Emma was named to honour Lily and Narcissa. Robbie was named to honour both Evans sisters.

New Years had not been that exciting being in the hospital but three days after Robbie was born he and his dad were released. The healer was right and Harry's little boy was quite the healthy little fighter. He was also a very content newborn and had never made much of a fuss. Draco and Blaise said it was not fair at all.

Harry was touched to find a little party when they arrived back at school. "You guys did not have to do this."

Lucius hugged his son. "You missed New Years when you were in the hospital and since all the kids went home we were able to do a bit of a party up here."

Harry knew that it was all to show off the baby for the teachers wanted to see him as well. He was touched though to have them there. But there was one person he was even happier to see. Robbie's godmother had finally made an appearance.

She reached over and scooped Robbie into her arms. "He is so beautiful. I should have known he'd come early so he could go to school with his cousin over there."

Harry laughed and kissed her cheek. "I was disappointed you could not be there Hermione. But you could not have known. You and Viktor deserved a holiday."

Standing by his wife he saw the smile and glimmer in the eyes of Viktor. He knew that it would be another year and a half likely at least before they had kids. Hermione had been quite clear she would not try for one until she was done law school. Viktor was happy to be patient but Harry knew he'd love a baby.

Minerva raised her glass. "To the New Year and to our own little nearly New Year's baby. Welcome Robby to Hogwarts."

Severus laughed but raised his glass. "He will be starting school not for another eleven years but I guess he will be here till then. Thank you for all your wishes."

No one could miss the absolute look of peace and heaven in both dads as they looked at their little boy. They had all been there when he lost Jamie. They knew they would never forget their first son but their new little boy's birth had definitely started healing old wounds. For Harry even older ones.
