Chapter Sixteen; Welcome Home

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it and it is a beautiful name isn't it? This is the last chapter of this story and I might even post the first chapter of the fourth part tonight if I have time! It'll be ASAP though, I promise!

Harry and Tobey were fast asleep inside their beds, unaware of the fact that their lives were about to change drastically. Although by now Harry was used to the concept of being a big brother, there was still going to be a third little person inside the house, and besides that, this was a whole new experience for Tobey who wasn't even two years old yet. All of a sudden Snape slowly pushed Harry's door open and turned on the light.

He smiled warmly down at his son before slowly walking over to his bed. "Harry," he began in a soft whisper before he sat down on the side of his bed and gently shook him awake. "are you awake?" he asked him.

"Well,.. I am now." Harry began groggily before rubbing his eyes and giving a sleepy little yawn as Snape chuckled and shook his head.

"Sorry, dumb question." He told him with a grin. "Anyway, I was sort of wondering if you'd like to meet somebody." He said.

"You mean my new little sister?" Harry questioned him as Snape simply nodded at him.

"Yep, her name is Evangeline, but we've decided to call her Eve for short." He explained while Harry smiled back at him.

"Eve, that's a very pretty name. I like it!" he whispered back excitedly as Snape stifled another laugh.

"Thanks, I'm the one who thought of it but your mother liked it too." He told him. "Anyway, she still needs a middle name, and I'm sure that she'll want to meet her new big brother." He said before Harry quickly turned his head and looked at the clock.

"What? Now? But it's in the middle of the night!" he exclaimed.

"I realize that, but I think you're old enough to get up and go and see her." Snape told him with another nod.

"But what about Tobey?" Harry questioned.

"Don't worry about him. Your grandparents are here in case he wakes up or something. My guess is that he'll probably sleep right through the night though like he has every night since he's been about six months old. Anyway, come on. I'll take you to the hospital. Your mother's busy nursing right now." Snape replied before he bent down and scooped Harry up inside his arms and started carrying him towards the fireplace.

Lily smiled down at her baby and kissed the top of her head while she blinked her beautiful green eyes up at her and continued sucking on her nipple. "It won't be too much longer until you meet one of your brothers." She told her softly and that's when suddenly if on que Snape knocked on the door. Lily lifted her head and turned it towards the door. "Come in." she said when all of a sudden her husband entered the room carrying Harry in his arms.

"My, my, what have we been feeding you? You sure are getting heavy boy." Snape told him as Harry laughed.

"Hullo sweetheart." His mother began while she gazed at him and smiled at him lovingly.

"Hullo Mummy, is that Eve?" he questioned.

"Yes darling it is. That's your new baby sister." She replied.

"Wow, she's so little." Harry realized. "What's her middle name going to be?" he questioned.

"That's up to you to decide remember?" his mother questioned him back.

"You mean that I really get to choose?" he asked as Lily nodded.

"Yep, you do." She told him before Harry turned to glance out the window.

"Well, I think I want it to be Faith." He said. "Since I really have faith that God and my biological father is up there in Heaven watching over us, and that we're really going to be the perfect family." He said before he turned to look back at her and smiled.

"I agree a hundred percent." His mother told him as she smiled back at him. "Faith it is then." She said as Harry grinned down at his new sister who had finally finished nursing and looked back up at him.

"Welcome to the world, Evangeline Faith Snape." He told her as Snape smiled down at him and kissed the top of his head.

…

A few days later Lily and Severus brought their new baby girl home for the first time. Cowboy was very excited to have a new baby in the house again even though Cosmo appeared like he couldn't care less about the situation. However, the person that really had surprised them the most was Tobey. Even though he was usually a sweet but rambunctious little boy, he was very protective of his little sister, and got very upset when she cried or she had to go take her nap.

He always wanted to be with her and shower her with kisses, it was easy to see that he loved her very much and wanted her to be happy. "I think that Tobey's going to be a great big brother." Harry began as he finished changing Eve's diaper and smiled down at her and admiring the fact that she looked really pretty in her red and white polka dot dress and the matching bow to go with it that sat on the top of her head.

"That's because he's going to have a good role model to teach him." Snape said as he grinned down at Harry who leaned his head down to plant a wet kiss on his baby's sister's cheek. He was a straight A student, a big brother, and son to parents that loved him. Including his new friends that he had met at school one thing that was for sure, is that his life couldn't get any more charming.
