Yes Snape is out of character, i did it on purpose because i like to show his softer side. If you don't like it please find another story.
CHAPTER 7
Two hours later Constance left after declaring both Hermione and the baby in perfect health, setting her a regiment of pre-natal potions, and promising that the following Saturday she would take Hermione baby shopping.
Severus and Hermione now laid curled up on the sofa.
"I really enjoyed meeting your sister. But she seems too young to have 6 children."
"Well" Said Severus who was laying with Hermione between his legs absently rubbing her belly. "the wizarding world isn't like the muggle world when it comes to getting married and having children. I hear in the muggle world a lot of people do not get married until they are in there 30's or even 40's. Well in the wizarding world most people are married in there late teens, early 20's. Connie and Justin were married when they were both 25. They had their oldest Seth when they were 30. He starts Hogwarts next year."
"How old's their youngest?"
"Leah is 2 months old i think...somewhere around there."
Hermione was shocked. "Bloody hell i hope i look as good as Connie two months after this baby. I can't imagine looking like her after 6 of them!"
"Hermione can i ask you something important?" Severus turned serious.
"Sure"
"Would you ever, you know, down the road consider having children with me? Or after the baby is born marrying me?"
"Of course" Hermione smiled
"One more question" Severus said "Since Malfoy has signed all his rights to this child away would you allow me to adopt him legally, give him my last name?
Hermione smiled "On one condition." She said
"What's that?" Severus asked.
Hermione leaned up and gave him a very slow sensuous kiss. When she pulled back she said "You have to give his mum the same last name some time soon."
"When is some time soon?" Severus asked with raised eyebrow.
Hermione bit her bottom lip "Severus I have been in love with you since i was 13. I want nothing more than to marry you. But before i do that i need to know that i can be a proper wife for you."
"And what is a proper wife Hermione?"
Hermione blushed and turned her head away.
"Hermione tell me" Severus urged.
"You know...do...things...with you." Hermione blushed.
"Hermione you don't want to marry me because you are not ready to have sex?"
"Yes" Hermione mumbled.
"Sweetheart you were raped. It's natural to not want to have sex. I love you and i will wait as long you need me too." Severus gently kissed the top of her head.
"I know but it will make me feel better. Just give me some time. I do know that i want to marry you before the baby comes. I just don't know when." Hermione said.
"Just promise to tell me when you are ready. Even though I would marry you right now without expecting you to make love with me." Severus smiled.
"I promise. And we WILL be married by the time OUR son gets here."
Severus pulled Hermione up to look at him. "I love you." he gently kissed her.
"I love you too."

Okay pure fluff. I think this is my shortest chapter yet. I am not going to rush them getting married because i know for a fact how afraid a rape victim is of intimacy. A good friend of mine was raped and she was very scared of sleeping with her boyfriend for a while afterwards. I am trying to make Hermione's emotions as real as possible.
Next chapter: Ron's redemption. And we get to see the snarky Severus we all know and love. :)
