AN: Sorry about the post last time, I thought I had finished typing the chapter but sadly I didn't. I am hoping to get my internet turned on soon in my apartment, since I might need it to update and stuff. I have found a beta and will be using her until she decides that I am a horrid writer and that she doesn't want to beta for me… Or she just gets bored with me which ever comes first. Anyway I'm back in college now and I have early morning classes so my story should be done before Christmas. Now don't quote me on that but that is my goal. I have the outline and chapters up to 20 written out, all that needs to be done is finish the story and type it. Well I'm sure you don't want to hear me ramble on anymore so here is the long awaited love scene. Well not really love per say but you know what I'm getting at… I just hope it's not to graphic for the last parchment Hermione took a deep breath. "Alright I signed everything what's next?"
"We send them to Albus and he sends them to the Ministry after he puts his stamp on it. After I floo them over we go to bed." Severus turned and looked at Hermione. "I know this isn't what you want but I will make sure I don't hurt you more then might be necessary. Since this is only your first real time, second time all together there still might be a little pain at penetration. But after a few minutes you should start to enjoy it. If not tell me and I will stop."
Hermione looked up at him, "I'm a little scared. It hurt so much last time I don't know what to expect this time."
"Well the bastard didn't think about your need, or if he did he really didn't care if you were indeed ready. Believe me I want you to be as ready as possible, the more pleasure you get out of it the more I do. It's a turn on you can say. If I see a woman enjoying what I am doing to her." Severus picked up the parchment, quill, and ink.
"Give me a few minutes, I have to get a hold of Albus before he goes to bed or our marriage won't be valid until he finds the papers. And if you have ever seen his desk you know he can loose things for days. Once he found a paper that I did back in my seventh year. This was about five years ago, it was a paper about the Unforgivables my Professor took to him saying that I shouldn't even know that much about them. Needless to say I didn't get into any kind of trouble because Albus wasn't even in his office when the Professor brought the paper to him, he just stuck it on his desk and left. Albus might have done it on purpose, but with him you never know. Why don't you go and get ready while I floo over to Hogwarts to make sure he gets these in his hand, I don't think I want him over again so we can do a repeat performance because he lost the papers. I'll come and get you when I'm done."
Hermione nodded, standing up she began to walk towards her room. Getting to the door she went in. No sooner as the door was opened a loud pop was heard from the other side.
"Krispie is here to help you get ready for Woo Hoo with the Master." Krispie pulled Hermione towards the dressing table. "Please Mistress sit down, Krispie will take care of you."
Hermione took a deep breathe and looked into the mirror once more. I don't think I'll ever look like this again… I think I want pictures before I take this off forever. I just need to find Severus first. "Can I wait to change? I would like some wedding pictures since it will only happen once in my life I think I have the right to have some don't I?"
Krispie stepped back, "Yes Mistress you should get lots of flashy photographs for your room. Master doesn't keep anything anymore. Krispie thinks he will want one too, maybe just of you for his desk at school."
Hermione snorted, "I highly doubt he would want a picture of me on his desk. It's not like I really mean anything to him."
"Mistress that is not true. Master is very selfish yes, but he did marry you when he did not have to. I think that Master cares for Mistress more then Mistress thinks."
"Maybe your right Krispie, if he didn't have any kind feelings for me he won't have given his life away for me. Will you let Severus know that I want pictures and not to take his dress robes off yet please?"
Krispie nodded quickly and popped away leaving Hermione to her self to think about everything that was to come and what the future would hold. Absinmindely her hand went to her stomach and she began to rub it. Since it was the beginning of Dec. she had hit her four month mark and the baby was starting to have a mind of it's own. Keeping her up at night and playing football with her bladder at the weirdest times.
Severus walked back into the sitting room when Krispie popped in. "Is Hermione alright? What's wrong?" He stopped walking and looked down at the elf.
"Master nothing is wrong, Mistress wants photographs of Master and Mistress for her memories please give her what she wants. Krispie will take them her self, even one of Mistress for Master's desk at school. Mistress is really pretty today and she is glowing with baby glow. Please don't take your dress robes off Master."
Severus smiled, "She just wants a picture? Here I thought she was sick or too scared to do anything and she wants pictures. Typical Gryffindor always wanting to be selfish and not letting anyone know about their plans. Alright Krispie go get the camera and I'll go get Hermione."
Krispie nodded and popped out with a smile, Master really does care.
Severus walked to Hermione's room and knocked on the door. "You wanted to see me wife?"
A gasp was heard from the other side of the door. "Please come in Severus, yes I was looking for you before you had a chance to change."
Severus opened the door and walked in, he looked over at Hermione who was still sitting at the dressing table rubbing her stomach. "Is everything alright? Do you need something?"
Hermione smiled, "No it's just that the baby decided to play football again. Sometimes if I rub my stomach it puts the baby back to sleep and I can get some peace for a few hours."
Severus walked over closer, "Do it bother you all day? I can make a calming draft for the baby so that it doesn't bother you at night. Of course that could mean that the baby would be up in the morning hours but you would be able to get some sleep."
Hermione shook her head, "It isn't that strong yet, I'll remember that when I'm huge and miserable. Do you want to feel? I know that it's not blood yours, but sometimes nurture is better then nature and I am going to give it your name. That is if it's alright with you?"
Severus kneeled down next to Hermione and placed his hand on her stomach. "It would be an honor for you to give your child my name. I should get you to St. Mungo's soon so that you can have a check up and set up all the necessary birthing method you want. How come I can't feel anything?"
Hermione laughed, "That's because your hand isn't in the right spot." Picking up his hand she moved it a little lower then he had it and pressed down a little. "Feel that little bump, bump, bump, that's where the heart is." Waiting a few minutes she moved his hand again, "And that there is Baby Snape kicking. Told you it's not the powerful."
"That's amazing, I never really thought about children, but feeling that little kick makes me think a little more about it. You don't think that maybe in a few years when the baby is older having one with me. It's up to you, this baby will be my first heir and will have all the rights to a Pureblood heir but I want to a baby there. And if this leaks out I will know it was you." Severus went to get up, but Hermione pulled him back down.
"We are family now, if you want a baby in a few years we can talk more about it when the time comes. And I understand how you feel, I would want to have a baby with my wife too. Well that is if I was male and was married. I never wanted to have children either. They just seemed like too much work for me, yes I said too much work for a workaholic like I am. And I thank you for giving this baby your name, it means a lot to me."
Severus opened his mouth to say something when a bright flash went off near his face. "Krispie is sorry Master but it was a prefect Photograph. Krispie had to take it, are Master and Mistress ready for their Photographs now?"
Severus removed his hand from his wife's stomach and stood up. Stretching his back he put his hand down to help Hermione from her chair.
"Well are you coming this was your idea, I think we should go back outside for a few, I'll cast a warming charm on us so that you don't get cold. I just don't think you want your wedding pictures taken in your room. That might bother you later." Severus pulled Hermione up, "Plus I would like to get to bed soon, I understand it's a Friday night but I don't want to get off of my six hours of sleep schedule for Monday."
Hermione frowned, "If you don't want to do this we don't have to. I just thought it would be nice seeing as I'll only look this nice on my wedding."
"I never said I didn't want to do this, I think it's a good idea. Since I won't be getting married anytime soon this might be the only time I will wear my father's robes. But I would like to get this done with soon, there are other pressing matter we need to get attending to."
Hermione looked at Severus, "Every day you seem to surprise me, nothing is ever the same with you is it? I think I like the "At Home" Severus. But I don't think you should be like that all the time. It would be kind of creepy. Your right lets go outside, that flower set up was so beautiful. I wonder if it's still up?"
"Krispie put the lilies and roses back into place for the photograph. Krispie thought Mistress would like that."
Hermione looked down at the small elf. "Thank you so much Krispie you always go out of your way to help."
Krispie turned red, "Mistress just gave Krispie huge compliment. Krispie is not worthy of such words."
Hermione opened her mouth to say something but was stopped by Severus' hand. "Come along now, lets get the pictures taken so that we can get them printed soon. I know how much you are going to want to look at the proofs to decide which ones you want to keep. And I just want to get it over with, Albus will want a picture and I am sure you will probably send one to Potter."
Krispie lead the group outside and posed them for each set of pictures. There were ones of both of them, ones of just Hermione, Snape and ones that neither wanted to redue. The typical "Kiss The Bride" picture. After about five do over's both of them were done with kissing and wanted to move onto another pose. After an hour both of them were beyond bored and ready to go to bed. Severus never told Hermione that Krispie loved to take pictures and would take them all night if they let her. Finally Severus had enough and told her it was time to stop and to help Hermione out of her dress.
Once again Hermione was seated in front of her dressing table with Krispie behind her. "I don't know if I can do this Krispie, I have never actually done this before."
"Master is a kind man when there is something fragile for Master to protect. Not that you need protecting Mistress." Krispie began the long task of taking the flowers out of Hermione's hair that had grown a life of it's own and tried to eat them. "Master will be careful with you."
Hermione took a deep breath, "I can't believe this is happening. I'm having a wedding night. I don't even know what to do."
Krispie singled for Hermione to stand and began to unclasp the dress. "Master knows what to do, Mistress shouldn't have to worry. Master will make you feel nice." Undoing the charms to hid Hermione's stomach Krispie spoke again tears beginning to fall. "This is the happiest day of a House Elf's life. Now we have family to take care of. Even if baby isn't Snape blood, it will be brought up just like Master. And will be loved just the same." Krispie pulled the dress down Hermione's shoulders and asked her to step out of it so she could hang it up. Snapping her finger it was back in the Armoire next to the cloak. "Krispie thinks green would be best."
Hermione smiled then nodded, "I might like red, but I was a Gryffindor, Severus is the one that I need to make happy so I think that the green one would be best." Hermione walked towards her Armoire out the emerald green negligee and pulled it over her head. Rubbing it down over her body she looked for the night robe. "How did I know this was the only one that doesn't have a robe to match. It's got heeled slippers but not a cover up. I think Dumbledore had something to do with this."
"It's not like I don't know what underneath." Severus said as he walked into her room. "Come on it's already really late, we need to get you to my room and get you relaxed."
Hermione walked towards Severus her head down. "Yeah, I guess."
Severus could tell she was nervous, and she had every right to be. Her only experience was both unwanted and unprepared. "Hermione we don't have to do this tonight if you don't think you can. We can just go to my room and go to sleep, maybe read a book first. This is up to you whether we have sex or not. If you don't think you can do it tell me now."
"I want to try, I know this is important to everyone that is in charge of the marriage papers, and if I don't do it tonight I don't think I can wait all day and be nervous about it all the time. Can we try and then if I can't do it can we stop then?"
"When we get that far and you decide you need to stop, just say the word. But please say it before I get ready to claim you. If I'm already in it's going to be really hard for me to stop. I will be able to but it will be very hard for me to do." Placing his hand on her lower back he walked her into his room and closed the door.
"Can we still read for a little bit, it would help me relax?" Hermione looked down at her hands.
"How about I read to you then you read to me, we will each read a chapter before we pass it onto the next person?"
"I like that idea, how about you pick the book."
"Alright," Severus walked towards his book shelf. Running over the titles quickly he stopped on one of his favorites. "How about The Prince?"
"That sounds great, where do we sit? You only have one chair in your room?" Hermione asked looking over towards the window with the arm chair she placed next to it."
"On the bed, that way we can get relaxed and we wont' have to re-relax you when you realize that we have to move to the bed and what will happen when we get into bed. It will be much easier this way."
"If you think that will be best," Hermione responded nervously.
Severus jumped onto the bed, leaving Hermione to stare at him mouth open. "Come on I don't bite, unlike what the Gryffindors say I am not a vampire." He patted the spot next to him letting her know that's where she would be sitting.
Hermione slowly climbed her way into the bed, seating her self at the edge of the bed she looked down at her hands.
"Hermione come closer, I promise I will tell you before I ever touch you. But you need to come closer."
Hermione moved closer to the middle of the king size bed. Why one person would need such a huge bed was a mystery to her. Two people could sleep in here and never touch. Severus put his arm out against the head board and waited till she got closer before trapping her to his chest.
"Isn't this relaxing?" Severus rubbed his thumb down her arm. "I will read the first chapter, then you will read the next one just like we agreed upon. We will continue to read until you are relaxed. If by the sixth chapter you aren't anywhere ready we will wait until morning before continuing. Do we have a deal?"
"Yes I like that idea, I hope it doesn't take six chapters to relax me. And if it does tomorrow morning I'll do it even if I am nervous. "
Severus nodded and began to read the first chapter.
AN: Alright I lied, no sex scene in this chapter. But the next one I promise, there might even be some Hogwarts in the next chapter or two. I know I should have added Hogwarts in it earlier but it was too much fun to write about SS/HG that I couldn't figure out what to write. Oh and if anyone can give me the name of the movie that I got the "bump, bump, bump" line from I will write you a minor part in the next Hogwarts chapter. Your choice of house and year. Okay those get sent directly to me, please don't leave them in the reviews. It's a contest… Yay…
