I apologize such shortness of this chapter, however, I have another chapter ready to go. So I figure two - or maybe more - chapters today will satisfy all of you readers today. :)

Enjoy~


Severus allowed Harry to spend time in the nursery room to create and Harry spent time in the extra bedroom. Severus took on daily chores, making potions for Harry, and cooking dinner. The pregnant Gryffindor spent his time to adjust the room to his liking. It had been a routine for the past three weeks and barely the two had chatted much between each other.

Harry was almost finished with the nursery, making it more princess like, and he couldn't help it to figure out what could have been missing in this room. He was fixing up the bed up neatly and beating out all the wrinkles he spotted.

A soft touch landed onto his shoulders and sudden flashback triggered a memory to the day where Aberforth had found him alone. He nearly jumped and moved away quickly with rapid breathing difficultly. Once he turned to see who it was, he calmed down and regretted jumping to conclusion of someone worse in return.

"Sorry," Harry muttered, "Is there something you need, Severus?"

"Dinner is ready. I made spaghetti for a change, is that comforting to eat?" The Slytherin asked.

'Is there meatballs in spaghetti?' The little girl asked.

Harry chuckled, "She wants to know if there are meatballs?"

The man smirked, "What is spaghetti without the meatballs?"

'Yay! I want some, mama! I am hungry!' She stated.

"She doesn't seem to disagree. I can't believe I'm almost five months pregnant in a week and a half." Harry chuckled.

"Certainly, she needs all the food she needs to grow properly. I also almost finished making the potion that will allow your body to start take comfort during the pre-labor pain. It should be done by eight tonight."

Harry nodded, knowing he would need these to make it smooth as possible, and survive through this without dying during giving birth to his own daughter. They headed to the dining table and sat down to eat in silent. Severus had have picked up on how traumatic the pregnant Gryffindor was and he stated that was not normal. He suspected there was more than what had gone on with Draco and him.

Harry kept thinking of how others were doing, specifically his friends and Draco. He knew they'd probably wonder where he had gone. However, it is just that he had left. Severus's disappearance might have made people wonder as well. How people are doing without them in their lives and hoping they were searching for him. The spring break vacation had come and gone already. The school should be almost finishing with one more set of month.

What's worse could be is Albus. Harry knew that man couldn't stand being apart from what he deeply cares for the most, especially he carries his daughter. However, no one but Draco knew the truth of the baby's parentage is from. Severus has done so much for him and helping him little by little like making sure food is taken care of throughout the days.

"Harry," The man sighed, "I wish to help you some more with your traumatic problems. Please, give me some insights at least." He pleaded with his eyes, hoping it might change the boy's mind.

Harry slurped the spaghetti noodles and he knew he wasn't going to get away with it this long. If he asks the man to forget it, the chances are to come back again to ask less than a month. He finishes chewing up and decides to tell him anyway. The chances are…he would escape if anything.

"I…I-I found out why Voldemort is after me." He could not admit the rape. He feared for his daughter too much, "Do you know of the Horcrux?"

The black eyes nodded, "Yes…I supposed the headmaster explained to you?"

"Yes. But I wasn't going to let him plan my death to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux." His head shook, "Even if I give birth to my daughter, it would not be long enough to spend time with her. It's not fair, Severus." He felt overwhelm, sadden by the idea to be a sacrifice to win the war.

The potion master understood now. He hasn't thought of this before and he was shocked to think Albus would have allowed this.

"So you seek to live for your daughter without such sacrifice?" Severus tilted his head.

"Yes," He whispered, "I love her so much already. I don't want her to go through the same thing as I did. Parentless and the need of a family for one to hope for." The water built up in his eyes, "I don't want her to grow up like I did. Please…understand that I worry if he finds me here before I feel its time, then I fail as a parent." He wept away.

The tears trickling down slowly, sniffling to hold it back, and the thought of losing or being separated by the ones he truly cares about. He could not stand it any longer to what he has to go through right now. Severus sighed and patted the boy's hand to show some form of comforts.

"No one blames you, Harry. However," He took a deep breath with a caring smile, "I might be able to create a potion to remove the horcrux that is inside of you. After all, I am British best Potion Master for one could ask for." Severus smirked.

Harry gasped and gapped at the man, "Y-y-you can do that?"

Severus nodded and Harry leapt up with joy by hugging the man. The man took two seconds to process what had happened and he was surprised to see the boy willing to hug him. Then again, he was one of the few that were allowed for Harry to make contact with. He enjoys it while he could and hugged him back happily.

"How long? I-er, I mean, how difficult is it to create such potion?" Harry broke apart from the hug and sat down in his seat.

"Considering it is a curse, it might take about a few months to a year at least. I will need to work on a practical formula recipe to write out first before I can muster out some antidote on this case. I can work on it after breakfast tomorrow and see how long it'd take to break it all down."

Harry smiled brightly, "Excellent! If you really did find an antidote towards the curse, I get to live with my daughter long as I want!" He couldn't help to grin ear to ear.

The man was pleased to see some positive outcome in their conversations is developing. Yet, his instinct was bothering him and he couldn't place his fingers on it why. He chose to push that aside and focus on this important matter first. To see the boy's smile was a reminder of Lilly's smile and how beautiful it was to see. Harry was happily eating his dinner and his baby girl kicking. He gasped and grabbed the man's hand to feel her.

At first, he was confused until it dawned on him, Harry wanted to share this beautiful moment and he smiled.

"She is definitely quite a kicker there, Harry." He commented.

The Gryffindor nodded, "She is." He smiled, "It hurts, but at the same time, it's fascinating. I even read that at this week, she is about ten and a half ounces right now. She's developing her digestive system currently."

The man smiled, "It sounds like she's developing in the right order. What does it say for you?"

Harry groaned, "I'll be feeling pain from my back to my calf. So, I need to get used to it for the rest of my pregnancy. Plus, I need to eat more meat in my diet, red meat preferably. That and sleep will probably not agree with me much."

Severus nodded, "That's to be expected. I shall provide an iron potion for you."

Harry nodded anyway and decided to put up with he will need anyway. Despite of the fact these potions were nasty, but then again, whatever tastes normal in this wizard world?

"Oh! Now I know what's missing!" He leapt up and walked over to the nursery room to the crib.

Severus was curious and followed him to the room. Harry pulled out his wand and did it over the crib. A mobile appeared with owls and lion cubs to a cuteness level. He felt it was perfect now and Severus chuckled lightly.

"I see you were figuring some things out for yourself," The man hummed.

Harry nodded, "Yeah. I want to give her the best of everything right now." He soothed his bump gently.

It was a pleasant evening for them. Severus decided to keep it a smooth evening for now until the right time to discuss. Harry was very much satisfied with the nursery room for now.


Next chapter is up, enjoy~
