A/N: I know it's weird that Snape has a pram that fits six kids, and that he seems to push it around with apparent ease. Also, I may change the chapter title. And this chapter contains some fluff. You have been warned.
A/N 2: BETA WANTED! PM me if interested.

Chapter 5 – Family Snape
It was now six months later. "Come on, children, we are going shopping," said Snape to his six-month-old children. They got excited at this, as they were very smart kids.
Once he had them all strapped into their pram, he said, "Right, let's go."
"Okay, children, where shall we go?" asked Snape, pushing the pram along. Not looking where he was going, he accidentally pushed the pram into something solid.
"Are you all right?" asked a familiar voice.
"Excuse me, Potter? You're enquiring as to my welfare?" he asked, disbelievingly.
"I wasn't talking to you, Snape, I was talking to Remus. You ran your pram into him." Sure enough, when Snape stood up, he saw none other than Remus Lupin and Harry Potter standing there, holding hands.
"You see, Snape, Remus is pregnant, in case you haven't noticed," said Harry smoothly.
It was only then that Snape noticed that Lupin had a bump where his normally flat stomach was. He sneered unpleasantly.
"Oh, I see, the stupid blubbery werewolf got knocked up again, did he?"
"Obviously he did," snapped Lupin, one hand caressing his stomach. Snape saw that he gripped Harry's hand tighter with these words. Harry looked at the pram.
"Well, obviously the greasy git popped out the offspring, then. Come on, Remus, we've got better things to be doing," snapped Harry, pulling Lupin by the hand in the opposite direction, leaving Snape standing in the street, rocking the pram slightly.
Later, Lupin and Harry were curled up on the sofa in Lupin's quarters together, Harry stroking Lupin's bump.
"You're gorgeous, you know that?" Harry said lovingly to Lupin. "Only another two months to go!"
"I know! I'm really excited now! Especially as I thought I wouldn't be able to conceive again, after what Snape did to me," replied Lupin, motioning to his stomach. They laughed and shared a long kiss. Suddenly Lupin let out a low grunt.
"What is it, love? Are the twins all right?" asked Harry, rubbing Lupin's belly soothingly.
"I'm fine, love, they're just kicking," Lupin reassured him. Harry sighed in relief.
"I thought you'd gone into labour or something."
"Harry, two things. It's too early for me to go into labour. And secondly, if I had gone into labour, I'd be screaming the castle down from the pain, not grunting quietly," Lupin replied, chuckling.
"I suppose you're right, love." Harry said. They laughed again and kissed. Then Harry looked down at the engagement ring on Lupin's finger.
"I love you, Remus."
"I love you too, Harry."
