A/N: This is the final chapter, meaning that I can now start uploading the sequal. Enjoy.

"Take my hand," Severus said, and Bobbi did so. He Apparated them to a small cottage in the woods, snow thick on the ground. There were no lights on from what they could see except for one that kept dimming and brightening over and over in no particular pattern. "This place shouldn't be occupied, " Severus said, cautiously entering the cottage. Inside, there was no evidence that anyone had lived here in a long time except for the fire lit in the fireplace. Snape held his wand in front of him, his woman behind him.

"Hello, Mistress Bobbi," came a familiar voice from the kitchen.

"Calm down, Severus," Bobbi sighed in relief, "It's Ed, my friend."

Ed, the old house elf, hopped off the counter and scurried up to the pair. "Come in. I'm preparing tea."

"How did he know about this place?" Severus asked Bobbi.

"Ed has his ways," Bobbi replied. "He's the smartest house elf you'll ever meet."

"How kind of you, Mistress," Ed smiled. "You will be safe here. No one else knows of this place. And I'll protect you if they do come."

"Thank you, Ed," Bobbi smiled.

After their tea, Ed said he was going to the house elf's quarters. "It's really more of an eighth than a quarter," Ed joked, getting a laugh from the witch and wizard.

After he'd left, Severus commented, "He really is the smartest house elf I've ever known." Bobbi nodded. She wrapped her arms around his arm and laid her head on his shoulder. Severus picked her up and sat her in his lap. "You're getting heavier," he noticed. Then he amended, "I didn't mean that to be rude. Sorry."

Bobbi waved it off. "I know you didn't. I know I'm getting heavier. But I'll be back to normal before long."

Snape looked questioningly at her, then shrugged it off. "When do you need to replenish yourself again?"

"In a few days. But not tonight. I want to stay with you tonight."

"I already put a silencing charm on your bedroom," Ed told them from somewhere unseen. "I won't be able to hear you."

Severus's face paled, but Bobbi chuckled. "Thanks, Ed."

They retired to the bedroom soon after, leaving their things packed in the bag in the corner of the room. It was dark enough that they couldn't see each other, but they could feel each other. Severus slowly began undressing Bobbi, starting with her robe, then her shirt, then her pants. Bobbi undressed him in the same order, hooking her fingers in his underwear when they were all that was left. They touched their lips together, kissing without a break. Then Severus trailed his lips down her face, down her neck, onto her shoulder. He carefully undid her bra, pressing his naked chest against hers. He brought his lips back to hers and began kissing her again, long, passionate kisses. He wrapped his arms around her as she did the same, pressing themselves closer together. Then something poked Severus softly and he chuckled, asking, "Why did you poke me in the stomach?"

"I didn't," Bobbi whispered.

Confused, Snape placed his hand between their stomachs. A soft, fleshy object poked his hand. He jerked his hand back, grabbing his wand, and said, "Lumos." He examined the spot where his hand had been and noticed the size of Bobbi's belly. "Merlin!" he gasped.

Bobbi offered him a half smile. "So now you know."

Severus placed his hand on her stomach and received yet another kick. This time, he left it there. "How far along are you?"

"Two months," Bobbi answered positively.

Severus raised an eyebrow incredulously. "Are you sure? I've never seen anyone get this big in two months. This is a second trimester size."

Bobbi nodded. "I know. But since we are both immortal, the baby grows thrice as fast while in the womb as a regular fetus. By next month, I should be ready to deliver. I will have to leave you, then, to give our son over to the Supreme Being. I'm sorry, Severus."

Severus shook his head. "Don't be sorry. If it hadn't been for this sacrifice, I would have never gotten to see any of my children. My question is, how did you hide this from everyone for so long?"

"I know an illusion charm that I put on my garments. I knew another one that hid it on my naked body, but it was limited, and Voldemort wasn't fooled for long." Severus put his hand over her belly, caressing it lightly. Bobbi smiled sadly. "We can make more after this one." She put her hand over the tip of his wand, extinguishing his light. "Want to practice?"

A month later, Bobbi was so swollen that she couldn't wear pants anymore. Instead, she wore only elastic shirts, and sometimes just her underwear and a robe. Snape didn't seem to mind; he loved her more than ever and couldn't wait for her to have the baby so they could get this part behind them and start a real family.

At the end of the month, Bobbi kissed Severus goodbye to start on her journey.

"Are you sure you want to go out there in your condition?" he asked, rubbing her belly in concern.

Bobbi nodded. "It is the way things must be done. I won't have him until I'm there. The Supreme Being has assured me of this. I will be safe. I promise."

Severus embraced her tightly, kissing her once more. "I will be here when you get back. Ed will keep me company while you are away. Just be safe."

"I will," Bobbi assured, kissing him back, "I won't be long. It shouldn't take as long as the last time. But be patient. I will return. I promise."

With one more heartfelt kiss, she departed, heading into the setting sun. She turned back, waved, and vanished.

Severus waited eight days before he had any news from Bobbi. On the eighth morning, Severus awoke to the tapping of a beak on his window. He looked out to see a rich blue hyacinth macaw perched on the sill. Opening the window, he took the letter in its beak and it flew off, squawking, "Tengo queso in mi pantelones."

The letter was in Bobbi's handwriting (he had learned to recognize it after the incident), and it read as follows:

Dear Severus,

Things are going well. I should be back in your arms within the week.

P.S., I have a surprise for you.

Severus folded the letter carefully and set it aside, pondering what surprise she could possibly have for him.

The days were long and slow without Bobbi there to entertain him. He and Ed spent most of the day beating each other at various games such as chess and dice. Ed always cheated at dice, so mostly it was chess or card games. More than once, Ed had changed the numbers on the dice so he would win. But they enjoyed each other's company. It was better than any other they could have excluding Bobbi.

When Bobbi finally returned, she was 30 pounds lighter. Severus ran outside the cottage when he realized she was approaching. She was about 150 meters away from him when he noticed she was carrying something in her arms. He couldn't tell what it was from this distance, but whatever it was, he could see she had her shirt wrapped around it, because she wasn't wearing one herself.

Bobbi's robe billowed around her in the rough wind. Severus dashed out to her, intent on getting her out of the cold as quickly as possible. He wrapped him arms around her as soon as he reached her.

"Careful," she scolded lightly, adjusting the bundle in her arms.

Snape pulled back to discover that the thing she was carrying was alive. "What is this?" he asked in confusion.

"Our daughter," Bobbi answered, moving the cloth aside to show Severus her drowsy face. "Let's get inside quickly. It's cold out here." The family rushed inside and sat down by the fire, side by side. Severus pulled at the shirt to get a better look, and Bobbi carefully placed the baby in his arms. "Mind her head. She's three days old."

The tiny girl opened her eyes just enough to gaze at her father, then she yawned and grabbed his nearest finger, unable to wrap her hand all the way around it.

"She's tiny," Severus whispered.

Bobbi nodded. "She's a little smaller than average, but she'll grow to be strong like us."

"I'm confused, Bobbi. I thought you said we were having a son."

"We were, and we did. They were twins, but since the Supreme Being only wanted the boy, he let me keep the girl."

"Twins?" Severus inquired. "There was never any history of twins in my family."

"Nor in mine. I guess we're just lucky."

Severus nodded. He stared into his beautiful daughter's face as she slept peacefully. He stroked her cheek gently with his thumb. "What is her name?"

"What do you wish to name her?"

Severus thought for a moment. "Telemica."

"Beautiful name. It fits her," Bobbi agreed.

"It is my hope that, should you go missing again, she will find you." Severus smiled cleverly.

Bobbi chuckled. "Alright. She needs her nap now."

"Go prepare her bed. I want to hold her for a while longer."

Bobbi obediently went into their bedroom to find things for a make-shift crib.

Severus held the baby carefully in his arms, staring at her in wonder. He hadn't expected to be a father this quickly. He hadn't even been together with Bobbi for an entire year, and yet here he was with their newborn daughter and they weren't even married. And yet he embraced it, welcomed this surprise with open arms. He brought the baby to his face and kissed her forehead lightly. He smiled at his baby girl, stood, and brought her to her mother.

"Ed," Bobbi called, and the house elf appeared. "If we leave the bedroom door open, will we be able to hear the baby inside?"

Ed nodded, looking at the baby with guffaw.

Bobbi gently put the baby in the crib and turned off the light. She joined Severus on the couch by the fire. They stared at each other for a long time, the conversations to be had floating silently in the air between them. But they didn't know where to start. So they sat, staring into each other's eyes. Then after a time, Bobbi yawned and said, "I'm tired."

Snape nodded, stood, and swooped her into his arms, carrying her back to the bedroom. "This is easier now that you're light again."

Bobbi chuckled, craning her neck to kiss him. He placed her gently in the bed, then joined her and pulled her close into his chest. He stroked her blonde hair, smiling into her face. They touched noses and fell asleep.
