Rabastan took the baby to clean and hold, while Severus attended to Harry, gently cleaning him up to help him rest.
"Sev, I'm so tired. Can I sleep now? I'm just so tired," Harry said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Sleep, Harry. You've earned it, my love," Severus replied softly.
As Harry rested, Severus lovingly cared for their newborn son.
Rabastan* "I'll let the Dark Lord know that you and the baby are okay."
Rodolphus* "I'm going to grab a snack. Do you want anything?"
Severus* "Thanks. Could you get me some water, please?"
Rodolphus* "Sure."
Harry shifted slightly, wincing with pain. "Sev, how is the baby?" he asked, looking up at Severus.
Severus* "We have a son, Harry," Severus said, tears of joy in his eyes. "I love you so much."
Harry's eyes filled with tears. "Our son. It's amazing. What did you name him?"
Severus* "I haven't named him yet. You should choose his name. You carried him, after all."
Harry* "Ben Severus Snape," he said, looking up at Severus with a hopeful smile.
Severus* "Perfect," he replied, his smile widening. He leaned in and kissed Harry. "I love you so much, Harry."
