a/N: am going to try and keep this story going although I'm pretty out of ideas so may be big gaps in new chapters
Harry had only been going to school for a month before his life changed again. He was dropped off by Daddy every morning and picked up by Mummy. It was Tuesday afternoon and home time when he usually raced over to Mummy to tell her about his day and his teaching assistant would sometime go with him to report his progress to her. Harry was stood with his teaching assistant looking for Mummy but she wasn't in the playground.
"She's probably just running a little late Harry; she'll be here when she can." Mrs Farrday told him when he was the last one left of his class.
Harry started feeling anxious and worried what if she NEVER came back. As he started to tear up his teacher held his hand and took him back inside to sit outside the office where some of the older children were also waiting for late parents.
Harry was soon the only child left and the teachers had rung his Daddy who was apparently on his way after having let his classes go early. He was just wondering if he should have just gone with Charlie and Lily to their friends house when his Daddy came running in through the school reception, Harry was instantly out of his chair and felt himself be swept up in a massive hug from his Daddy. Harry hugged tightly afraid that if he let go Daddy would leave him. After Daddy kissed his hair about a hundred times and finished whispering how sorry he was into his hair his Daddy shifted him onto his left hip and with his spare hand picked up his schoolbag before thanking the receptionist for looking after him. Severus carried him all the way home and up to his room where he left Harry to change out of his uniform.
Harry raced down the stairs to be near his Daddy again to hear his father on the phone, tears running down his face. Harry reached out to hold onto his Daddy's trouser leg causing Severus to look down surprised before quickly wiping his tears and putting the phone down with a hurried goodbye.
"Come and get your shoes on Harry we need to go to visit Mummy, she has some news for us apparently" Daddy said sounding bewildered.
Harry raced to follow Daddy's orders and once his shoes were on he felt himself being carried out of the door and towards the hospital wing, Daddy holding onto him tight. When they entered they found his Mummy sitting on top of a bed surrounded by Toby, Charlie and Lily all laughing quietly. Severus placed Harry onto the bed next to his mother and kissed his Mummy deeply before touching their foreheads together and gazing into each other's eyes.
"I suppose I owe you all an explanation" Cassie started quietly. "I also owe you an apology Harry, I bet you were pretty worried when you didn't see me in the playground?" she asked gazing at her youngest who nodded sadly remembering his horrid afternoon.
"I wasn't feeling very well this morning so I came for a quick visit with Madam Pomfrey who ran some tests to find out why I was feeling so poorly….She found something…..She found….A baby!" Cassie finished tearfully with a big smile on her face instantly the family started all around hugs.
"It's due on May 6th so we have a few months to wait." Cassie told them "Poppy ran a scan though and I think that it may be my last pregnancy because I'm expecting twins" she told them.
Harry seemed to be the only member of the family who wasn't terribly excited by the whole idea. He had looked after Teddy enough in his previous world to know thatbabies needed a lot of attention, like all the time so with two it would be even worse. He still needed his Mummy and Daddy, how were they going to have enough attention for all of them?
Mummy and Daddy had already forgotten about him, Mummy hadn't picked him up from school and now he was being ignored as Mummy was telling them all how she would need lots of help around the house and she was on strict instructions to get as much rest as possible until the babies were born. Harry felt down right miserable about the whole thing and wanted nothing to do with it. They were fine before the babies why couldn't they just be born to another family where they didn't already have children.
After a while it was dinner time and Severus ushered them all to the great hall to have dinner as no one had made any, no one had noticed Harry's darkening mood and it was darkening more by the moment. Harry hated eating in the great hall, it was where the bodies had been put after the war it led to flashbacks in his head, and also everyone stared at him like a monkey in the zoo. He hated being sat at the front for everyone to watch as he dropped food in his lap and had to have help cutting his dinner up.
It all got too much for Harry when he found himself unable to finish his dinner. Mummy loaded up a forkful and tried to put it in his mouth and as he moved his head he got mashed potatoes all over his face and a slight stab with the fork which had hurt, as he opened his mouth to cry in pain his mother had seized her opportunity to shovel the food in which had in turn made Harry choke and cough the food back into his plate in a disgusting show of manners even for him.
Mummy who usually understood lost it and had then shouted at him in front of the entire great hall full of students and teachers. Inconsolable through his tears Mummy got increasingly wound up with him and made him cry harder until he had vomited his dinner straight back up into his lap. Madam Pomfrey had declared that enough was enough and picked Harry up and after thrusting a distressed Harry at his Daddy she had summoned a calming draught which she put into a sippy cup and helped Harry drink before telling Severus to put him to bed and report to her once all their children were settled for the evening.
Harry had knackered himself out from crying and was snoring before he was tucked into bed by Toby for the night. Cassie and Severus had opened their door to Poppy Pomfrey and she was now seated in their living room whilst Cassie made tea and Severus finished putting Charlie and Lily to bed.
"I need to have a word with you both" Poppy started seriously.
"Is there a problem with the babies you didn't tell us about before?" Cassie asked
"Is there any potion that I could brew to help? No matter how complicated I will do it Poppy, I won't give these babies up!" Severus spoke up worried.
"The babies are fine" Poppy said and after hearing the two parents sigh happily she continued. "Harry however is finding this all very difficult. Hear me out. He was less than thrilled when you told him and then you took him to eat in the great hall which we all know he detests…He always has done, even as a baby…When he was full your hormones went into overdrive and you almost choked him dear girl… What did you do when he started to choke?... You shouted at him….Probably hormone driven but it came from you… It has barely been three hours since you announced your pregnancy and his world has started to change. I need you to think about how poor Harry is coping with all of this change, he is fragile. This is a big step for him just think how you are going to manage your family when the twins are born, you may need to think of employing help. Don't make any decisions now just look out for your children at the moment, I may be wrong but I believe Harry is not going to adapt very well to the changes which are going to take place in your household." Poppy spoke uninterrupted as the two Snape's tried to take in all that they she had been saying.
They nodded wordlessly and before they knew it the mediwitch was gone again.
