When Severus arrived home, he was disappointed to see that Lily still wasn't back. Walking inside, he stopped in the kitchen and stared at the spot where he had sat and clutched his burning face earlier that day. He could still see the burn from the pot on the floor, which caused tears to well up in his eyes at the memory. Looking away, he rushed upstairs to his bedroom. He didn't let the tears fall until he was lying in bed, facing Lily's side. Everything will be okay, he reassured himself, Just give her time.
The next morning, Severus heart soared as he opened his eyes and saw his red-haired wife lying next to him. He smiled as he moved over to wrap his arms around her, but he immediately received an elbow to the stomach.
"What the hell are you doing? I'm trying to sleep," Lily mumbled sleepily.
"I'm just happy to see you," Severus said softly, "I didn't hear you come in last night."
"That's because I didn't come in last night. I just got in about an hour ago," she said, not bothering to turn and look at him.
"Where were you last night?"
"Minding my bloody business. Why don't you try it?"
"Lily, I was just…"
"Severus, I am really not in the mood for your sniveling. If you're not going to shut up and go back to sleep, then why don't you go make yourself useful and make my breakfast."
"Okay, I'll go make breakfast," he said, hoping to make up for ruining dinner the day before, "Is there anything in particular you'd like?"
"Yes, for you to get the hell out of here so I can get some sleep." Severus sighed as he got out of bed and pulled on a pair of sweat pants. Lily sat up and glared at him.
"What?" he asked softly.
"Oh sigh," she said in a mocking voice, "I'm Severus Snape and I'm upset that my wife has more balls than I do. All I can do is snivel and cry like a little bitch. That's all you are, Severus, a little bitch. My bitch. I control you and your life, and you just let me because you're too weak to stand up for yourself."
"Lily…" Severus whispered brokenly, "…this isn't you. You're not like this. Y-you're just upset. You're still grieving for the baby, but it's okay…" Before he could finish his sentence, Lily jumped out of the bed and struck him across the face.
"Don't. you. speak. about. my baby," she growled, hitting him again.
"Lil, she was my baby too," he said quietly.
"I said don't talk about her," she said, kicking him between the legs before crawling back into bed, "Go make my damn breakfast, you bloody git." Wincing, he got to his feet, having fallen down when Lily kicked him, and headed downstairs to the kitchen to cook breakfast.
When Lily came downstairs about an hour later, Severus had just finished setting the table. On the table were eggs, bacon, sausages, French toast, muffins, fruit, orange juice and coffee. In the middle of the table was a vase filled with Lilies.
"Such a good, obedient little housewife, or should I say house-bitch," Lily sneered, sitting down at the table, "Why did you cook so much bloody food? There's way too much food. Did you really expect me to be able to eat all of this?"
"I just wanted you to have a lot to choose from," he said, looking down dejectedly. I can't do anything right, he thought sadly, I screw up everything.
"Are you going to stand there like an idiot or are you going to sit down and eat?" Lily snapped.
"Sorry," he murmured, sitting down and grabbing a plate of food.
"No, take your food and go in the living room. I don't feel like seeing your face right now," she snapped.
"Lily, we never eat together anymore. We never do anything together anymore," Severus said softly.
"Hm, I wonder why. You're so annoying. Why would I want to do anything with you? I don't even want to be in the same bloody room as you," she said, grabbing her food and storming out of the room. Severus sniffed as he fought back tears. I don't know what to do. I know she loves me. I know she does. She's just so angry all of the time. I don't know what to do to make her happy, he thought as tears filled his obsidian eyes, I just want my wife back. Severus was still sitting at the kitchen table, his breakfast untouched, when Lily walked back into the kitchen to put her dishes in the sink.
"Thanks for the breakfast. You're such a good house-bitch," she said, yanking his head back by his hair and kissing him roughly, biting his lip and causing him to bleed in the process. "I'm going out for the day. There's only so much whiny git I can take," she said before walking out, leaving her husband sitting in the kitchen fighting back tears.
