It has been a long ride, but there is one more chapter.

Every Day is a Struggle

Harry lay in bed, toying with Severus' hair sleepily. He really needed to get up but he just couldn't seem to find the energy. Harry had stayed up late last night with Kade; the one and a half year old simply refused to go to sleep. Severus shifted lightly in his sleep and Harry smiled lovingly. Severus opened his eyes slowly and Harry was once again captured by the onyx eyes that had found him so long ago.

"Good morning Harry," Severus murmured softly.

"Good morning Sev," Harry replied. Harry slowly stretched and clamored out of bed. He kissed his husband as he headed toward the bathroom.

"The wedding is today, so I need you to feed Kade as I get ready." There was a groan from the other room and Harry chuckled.

"The wedding is today?"

"Yes, Sev, and we do have to go. You're his godfather and I am the best man." There was another moan and the bed creaked as Severus got up for the day.

"Harry!" Harry ran over to Draco, his face worried.

"What is it Drake?" Draco clasped his hands together nervously.

"What if this goes wrong? What if she backs out? What if-"Harry covered Draco's babbling mouth with his hand and smiled.

"Draco, do me a favor and shut up. Today is going to be perfect. Trust me." Draco nodded, his mouth still covered by Harry's hand. Harry let go and turned to Neville.

"Neville, go get Draco some water please." Neville nodded and Harry stood Draco in front of a mirror. Harry started to calmly brush Draco's hair back but was soon interrupted by his frantic husband.

"Harry! Hermione is having a breakdown in her dressing room, Ginny is nowhere to be found, and Kade won't stop crying!" Harry sighed and put down the brush.

"Severus, go calm down Hermione. Give me Kade and let me worry about Ginny." Severus handed the distressed baby to his husband and kissed him on the cheek.

"You are amazing Harry." Harry just grinned at him as Severus left the room to find Hermione. Harry bounced Kade on his hip as he instructed Neville how to do Draco's hair. Soon, Kade was asleep and Harry pulled out his wand to call Ginny.

Severus walked down the hall slowly. He wasn't quite sure how to calm down a frantic woman. He poked his head cautiously around the corner and nearly ran from what he saw. Hermione was fuming at some poor hairdresser. The girl clutched the brush tightly and was nearly in tears. Severus motioned for the girl to go and the hairdresser fled gratefully. Severus sat down on the couch and watched Hermione pace back and forth.

"Ginny isn't here, the ring bearer came down with a case of Dragon Pox, and my hair must choose today to be difficult. Bloody hell!" Severus looked at her calmly but inside he was nervous. He had never heard Hermione cuss. This was a bad sign.

"Well….Harry will find Ginny." Hermione turned her glare on him and if he had been a weaker man he would have fled.

"Gran- Hermione. I am sure Harry will find Ginny and you know that woman works some strange form of magic on hair." Hermione smiled slightly, but then frowned again.

"You're right Severus….but what should I do about my ring bearer? There is no one else." Severus thought about it and smiled.

"I have an idea." Hermione listened to his idea and suddenly burst into peals of laughter.

"Severus! What a wonderful idea!" She kissed him on the cheek and flounced over to her mirror. As Severus left to get her ring bearer ready, he was knocked over by a frantic Ginny. He shook his head with a smile and kept walking. Ginny flew into the room, her face almost as red as her hair.

"Oh my Hermione, I am so sorry. Luna couldn't find her shoes and then Ron called asking if I thought red and purple when together and then-" Hermione smiled at the Maid of Honor and shook her head.

"Don't worry about it Ginny, just get over here and fix my hair." Ginny smiled as she joined her friend in front of the mirror.

"Gladly."

Severus sat in the front row of chairs with Kade sitting on his lap. The young child would occasionally make some noise but was overall a generally quiet baby. Severus craned his neck to see if the procession had started yet. It hadn't. Severus glowered at the grass and wished the wedding would start already. He was anxious to see his godson married. A simple tune started to float through the hair and Severus smiled. It was time.

Severus turned in his seat along with the other sitting in the audience. First came Draco, his black robed outlined in dark blue. Next came Tonks and Ron. Ron looked stunning in his dark green robes outlined in gold. Tonks was on his arm, slightly pregnant. Her deep red dress with not too many ruffles swayed as she walked. After them were Luna and Neville. Luna was wearing a yellow dress, with a large sunflower in her hair. Neville had lost all the shyness about him and sported light blue robed with a silver lining. Lastly came Harry and Ginny. Ginny shone in the midday sun with her jade dress. It clung to her in all the right ways and showed the woman she had truly become. But it was Harry that caught Severus' eyes the most. Harry's robed were red with a black outline. He stood tall and Severus got to see the man he married in all his glory. The last couple went to stand in their respective places and all heads craned to catch the first glimpse of the bride. Hermione, on her father's arm, started down the aisle. Her dress was beautiful. It had a small train made of lace. The beading on the bodice reminded one of the ocean and the lack of ruffles seemed to fit her perfectly. Her face was covered by a mist that seemed almost solid but not quite. Hermione stood next to Draco and took his hands. Draco touched the mist, which immediately turned into a piece of lace and he showed her face for the world to see. She beamed at him and they both knew that what they were doing was the right thing. The minister started in on the ceremony but the two didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until the ring bearer walked down the aisle that Draco turned to Hermione.

"Is that?" Hermione laughed.

"Yes."

Malika walked calmly down the aisle, the rings gently placed on a pillow strapped to her back. Her muscles rippled and her white fur shone as she knelt in front of the couple. Draco smiled.

"Do you, Hermione Granger, take Draco Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"And do you, Draco Malfoy, take Hermione Granger to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."

"You may now kiss the bride." Draco swept Hermione into his arms and kissed her. Hermione melted into Draco like she had every other time they kissed. Cheering went up from the crown and the couple broke apart to smile at their audience.

Harry tucked Kade in and kissed the little baby's forehead. He walked into the next room and crawled into bed next to his tired husband.

"Long day." Severus yawned his agreement and Harry laughed. Severus opened his arms, which Harry slipped into like every other night. Severus was about to turn off the light when Harry stopped him.
"Severus?"

"Mhmmm?"

"I have news." Severus froze for a second then stroked Harry's forehead.

"What is it love?" Harry took Severus' hand and placed it on his stomach. Severus paused for a moment then made the strangest sound of shock.

"Really?" Harry laughed quietly and kissed his husband.

"Twin girls. I was thinking of the names Lillian and Riley-" Whatever Harry was going to say next was cut off when his lips were captured by an overjoyed Severus. Harry kissed back just as hard. Just as he was about to lose all train of thought he smiled. Every day used to be a struggle. But not anymore.

Oh my. I'm done with this story. I feel like I'm sending a child to college or something. Well anyways, I want to thank the constant reviewers for keeping me going. I also want to thank the silent readers as well, thanks for sticking with me! It has been a long ride, but I must move on. But before I go, the boys are going to say one last good bye.

*I am going to miss you! And you over there! And you over there! And-*

-We get the point Montparnasse!-

*Fine then. Good-Bye my pretties!*

-And I, Severus Snape, also bid adieu. Hopeful reading in the future-

"I shall miss you as well, and all the good times we shared. Remember that one time we did that one thing? And that other time we did that other thing? And that other time we-"

Just say good-bye Javert.
