Recap: Harry's POV:

We sent all the guests home, but there was a floo flash, thinking someone forgot something I turned back to the fire place. "Hello Harry, I think it's time we had a private chat." Ginny.

"Why hello Ginevra." I said cautiously.

"Harry." She said in a stiff tone.

"May I enquirer as to why you unexpectedly decided to invade my home?" I said with a sarcastic bite.

"What, is it illegal for a mother to want to see her kids?"

"No, but the divorce agreement was quite clear. I have full custody and you can visit when ever you want or even take the kids out for the weekend, but I need a days notification first. What's your real reason for being here Gin?"

"Well I heard things." She said haltingly.

"Things? Like what?" I asked sarcastically.

"I heard you were seeing Severus Snape as a friend. I was unsure weather I wanted my children to be around him, well to find out you were dating?" She bit out disgustedly.

"Oh I'm sorry, at least when my boyfriend comes around I don't ship the kids off to Molly's for days sometimes. Who did you hear it from anyway?" I was sure it wasn't Hermione.

"Malfoy and my husband do business together sometimes. They got drunk and Blaise asked how Snape was doing and Malfoy answered. Both their businesses get potions from him. I felt I should check up on my family." Aw Malfoy really of all people to tell...

"Well we're fine. The kids like Severus. We don't need you to worry about us. Gin, I love him. After you left I was miserable, now I finally have moved on. You just had to come now." I was almost pained as I said that.

Severus walked in. "The kids are in bed. Ms. Weasley, or rather Mrs. Zabini."

"Professor, why are you in my children's lives?"

"Well, may I say it was your children that dragged me into their lives. Had I known Harry was living in the neighborhood I doubt I would have moved here. But I did and I fell in love with your ex-husband and I find your children absolutely adorable and frankly you have no right to judge Harry for dating me. You could have cared less about your kids. Lily asked me why you bothered to come here today right before she went to sleep. I had no idea what to tell. Luckily James supplied the answer. Let me tell you none of your children hold you in a high opinion. I would really appreciate if you left my boyfriend's house."

"You have no right to say what my children think of me. Your just a loathsome Death Eater who should have died that night."

James walked into the room, "Stop it Mom. Uncle Sev is right. I hate you." He was crying, "I hate you so much. Lily and Al don't remember you that much, but I do. I remember how when Dad was at work we would always got to grandma's and if we didn't you forgot about us in favor of you boyfriend. You never loved us and you never loved Dad."

I picked up James, he's getting so big. He was sobbing into my shoulder. "It's okay. Daddy loves you. Gin. I think it's time you leave. I hope you have a nice life with your new family."

"This isn't over Harry." She said as she stormed off into the floo.

"You guys come down too." I said to Lily and Albus on the stair case. I sat down on the couch with James. Al and Lily sat down too.

Lily looked up at me with shining eyes. "Is it true Daddy? That Mommy didn't want us?"

"Your mother didn't know what she wanted. She thought she wanted me, but really she was after the fame. When it died down, she stopped loving the idea of me. She's made some bad choices in her life, but she is still your mother, so if she want's to see you and follow our agreement terms there is little I can do to stop her. I will make sure I'm there when ever she wants to see you guys." I picked Lily. "One thing I want you to know is that Severus and I love you guys."

I walked back to my room after making sure all my kids were a sleep. Hot cocoa with a weak calming drought does wonders. Severus was waiting for me. He got up and hugged me. "It's okay Harry. I love you."

I looked up at him and gently pressed my lips against his. He returned the gentle pressure. I wrapped my arms around his neck. Our lips broke apart and his forehead gently rested on mine. "Your amazing." He said. "Taking care of your children, working, and being a great Dad. Harry you deserve so much better than the shit she gives you."

"I know, but I can never hate her. Not really anyway."

"Why not?"

"Because she gave me three of the most important things in my life, and they led me to you." Our lips pressed together. "Sev, I'm ready."

"Are you sure? This isn't brought on by her is it?"

"No, I was considering this being your Christmas gift for a while." He kissed me as he backed me slowly to the bed. I reached for his night shirt and pulled it off. He quickly rid me of my Christmas jumper. The one that is mandatory to wear for people of all ages, as mandated by Molly. He reached lower and lower and caressed me through my pants. I let out a small moan as he took off my pants.

"Are you sure Harry." He asked again.

"Positive." I pulled him in for another kiss and groaned when our lower halves connected. "I love you, Sev."

"I love you so much. I'm going to make love to you tonight."

"Severus." I purred.

The next morning I woke up sore. I was glad Severus was gentle, but it still hurt because it was the first time I had sex with a guy. I got dressed carefully into pajamas, that's what were always wear on boxing day. Thankfully Severus had the presence of mind to cast a cleaning charm after our activities last night and that silencing spell sure helped. I kissed Severus. "Time to wake up. The kids will be in soon you need to get dressed."

He grumbled something about 'too early' and 'need coffee'. I laughed. "The kids will come in to have breakfast in bed with us. From our dear house elf. She get a day off tomorrow. She also gets off every holiday in case you haven't noticed. Hermione worked out a contract."

"Ah yes Splash or some other nonsense."

"Spew, or rather S.P.E.W. The Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare."

"Like I said, some other nonsense."

We got back into bed, cuddling just as the kids came rushing in. Lily wiggled in between us and Al and James were sitting on the foot of my bed. I conjured some pillows for them to lean against. Abby popped in with a big breakfast on a floating table. "Master needing anything else. Master be calling Abby."

"Thanks Abby." I smiled at the elf.

We all began eating. "Dad is Uncle Sev going to be living with us from now on?" James asked.

"I think I will be here most of the time, but for now I'm going to hold on to my house in case this doesn't work out." Severus said.

"Why wouldn't it work out? Don't you love us? And Daddy?" Lily asked.

"I do love you all very much, but your father and I may decide to go back to being just friends. I don't think it will happen though because I love my foolish Gryffindor idiot." He said brush a long strand of hair out of my face and cupping my face.

"Just like how I love my slimy snarky Slytherin." We all started laughing. I couldn't help but think that this is how life should be. I'm surrounded by people who love me and I'm not going to give it up for the world.

That's the end of the actual story... I'm a little sad, I won't lie, but there is still the epilogue and an alternative ending. Tell me what you guys thought. Um the question is on a scale of 1-10 how much did you like this story. 1 you hated it (in which case how did you reach the end) and 10 being you loved it and don't want it to end
