Disclaimer: I Don't Own Harry Potter

A/N: Thanks for all of the reviews. I know it was kind of shocking for Snape to be Hermione's dad but I like the idea and I wanted to explore how it would happen. So I hope you guys like it.

Snape stared at this young Lily's bright happy face as her eyes widen in excitement and joy. Then she laughed and hit him slightly before saying, "She's our daughter? I know you guys are all worried about me knowing my future but…" Her smile beamed, ecstatically not able to contain her joy. "It's wonderful."

Snape smiled, trying to hide any hint of sadness that filled him. Looking at her, she was a girl who was just told her dreams had come true and he could not burst her bubble. To her, having a daughter with him meant that everything turned out fine. They stayed together, married, had a family, and a daughter. The truth of Hermione being their illegitimate daughter as a secret a hidden for years; even from him, never would occur to her. Although life was far from perfect for this sixteen year old Lily, she really didn't have a reason to believe that her life wouldn't turn out exactly like she had dreamed and planned.

Snape gazed at her, taken in by her joyful state. Everything came back to him: his whole life with her and how it all had fallen apart. It was all is fault. He couldn't help but think about that fateful night that changed everything for him.

Snape woke up with a jolt when someone apparated in his room. He went straight for his wand, pointing it in attack position.

Lily showed up there with her wand in hand with a fierce look on her face.

"Lily! What are you doing here? You can't be here. Death Eaters show up at all hours to summon me. If someone saw you here you'd be a dead woman."

"I don't care."

"Lily, get out! I have nothing to say to you. We've haven't had anything to say to each other for years."

"Well, I have something to say to you! Why? Why you'd do it Severus?"

"What's that? I've done a lot of things as a Death Eater." Severus said trying to act all casual about the crimes he's committed as possible.

"Like freeing those Muggles while Malfoy was gone? I saw you Sev. You saved them. I doubt you're precious Dark Lord told you to do that."

Severus got up out of bed.

"Look, Lily, just forget about it. What you saw it doesn't matter."

"Of course it matters. You care, Severus. You're not like them! I always knew. I always hoped that there was some good still left in you. I hoped that the Sev that I knew was still in there somewhere. And there was; you showed me that tonigt."

"No one was supposed to see that."

"I saw it."

"Did anyone else see?" Severus asked.

"No."

"Are you sure?" Severus asked tensely.

"I'm sure."

"Good." Severus started to relax a little.

Then he looked at her more tenderly, "Look you just need to forget about it. OK. It's for your own good, if you just forget about what you saw, forget about me, and it'd be great if you forget about Voldermolt."

"You know I can't. I'll always fight."

Severus sighed, "It was worth a try. I wish you would leave this fight and run and find a safe place to hide like most of the Wizards these days but you're Lily Evans, you'll never back down in what you believe in. Lily you have to forget about me though. Please."

"I can't." Lily said tears forming in her eyes.

"I tried Sev, so hard. I really did but there is no forgetting you. It's the reason me and James broke up."

"Don't. Don't Lily. It won't work."

"Sev I saw you. I always saw good in you and it about killed me when you called me what you did. It killed me to see you hang out with those horrible Slyterians looking down on anyone who wasn't a Pure Blood. It nearly destroyed me seeing you become a Death Eater. All of those meetings we had at the Order about you being on the top targets list to get to Voldermort made me sick in my stomach every time your name was mentioned. Despite it all I know deep down you are a good man. It is not just in my head, it's not just the teenage girl in me who remembers all the good times. I saw you save those Muggles, you protected them and you…you were a hero."

"I'm no hero Lily. I'm just trying to make up for what I did."

"You are?" Lily asked as she smiled through her tears.

"I'm working for Dumbledore."

Lily wrapped her arms around in an emotion filled hug.

"Really? Really? I knew it. I just knew it. I knew you would come to our side eventually." Lily said sobbing into his ear.

Snape breathed in deeply taking all of the strength he could utter to pull her away.

"I'm not on your side."

"What? Sev you just said…"

"I'm working for Dumbledore, but no one can know I'm his spy. I have to stay close to the Death Eaters and Voldermort to give Dumbledore all of the information I can. No one can know that I'm on your side."

"Sev, that's dangerous. So dangerous. What if you get caught?"

"I'm willing to take the risk to try to undo all of what I did."

Lily gently caressed his cheek and said, "You don't have to torture yourself to fight against them and bringing Voldermort down will be enough."

"I hope so and there isn't a better way to defeat him then have someone on the inside." Severus said.

Lily tears were coming in full force now.

"No, Sev, No. There has to be another way." Lily said desperately.

"There isn't. I'm the Orders best shot in stopping them."

"No! No! I can't lose you. It nearly destroyed me when I lost you before. When I thought the Sev I knew could be gone… and now you're back, you're him, you're the good Sev I know and now you want to throw yourself to the Lions!" Lily shouted.

"I don't want this! I don't want any of this. If I could change all of this and make it not happen and never be a Death Eater and not have him get into power I would. If I could change and never parted from you I would but we can't and that was my choice and I have to live with that."

"And now this is your choice and you're choosing the right way. You don't have to kill yourself for this. You don't!" Lily shouted in pure panic.

"Lily, please."

Lily grabbed his and within hers and said, "Please Snape! For me, get out of this horrible dangerous situation for me!"

"Don't Lily. Don't ask me that. You wouldn't stop fighting for me."

Lily looked up at him with her fear stricken face.

"I just…"

She looked with in his eyes. She could not look away. She still held his hand, squeezing it still as she looked up at him not wanting to let him go not wanting to lose him ever again. She moved in closer and caressing his cheek with her hand. She slowly released her hand and smoothed it through his silky hair.

"Lily", he said in a caution voice. She was so close to him moving closer.

Lily then softly brushed her lips against his.

He said in a rough whisper, "You should leave."

"I should." Lily said as she grabbed his shirt and pulled him against her. She looked into his deep brown eyes and saw how badly he wanted her. Before he could protest again, she leaned and kissed him. For a moment he gave in, but in haste he stood back a bit and stared at her with pure love that poured out and was only reserved for her. For a second he looked like he was contemplating, then without any more thinking, he went towards Lilly and grabbed her waist so they were only millimeters apart. He then bent down and kissed her intensely and with all the love he could have possibly given her. She kissed back, showing just how much she loved him also, as she slowly wrapped her hands around his neck.

"I love you, Severus. No matter happens, remember that I love you." Lilly said after a little while. At that, he grabbed her waist tightly and took her to the bed in front of her.

oOo Later the next morning oOo

Severus woke up to Lily lying on his bare chest smiling up at him euphorically.

"Lily, I feel like I'm waking up to a dream."

"I like this dream." Lily said as she played with is black smooth silky hair.

"If only it…"

She put her finger over his lips.

"Shhhh. No, Sevy. That's not aloud. No talking about the world, or the war, or consequences. Let's just have this moment. Let's just have us. Let's be here together, just for a little while."

"I'd love that."

Then they heard a noise. He held onto her protectively and immediately picked up his wand in protection mode. Then they saw it was the curtains.

Lily laughed, "It's just the wind."

Severus did not find it very funny.

"Lily, you need to leave."

"Sevvy, just a little bit longer."

He held her close and brushed a hand through her long red hair and said, "Lily, its dangerous here. You can't stay."

"I know. I'll leave in just a little bit."

"No, you need to leave now, it's too risky."

She said, "Fine, I'll go, but not before we plan our next rendezvous. Maybe we can come up with secret codes like we used to do when we were trying to sneak around in school without the scrutiny of the Gryfindors and the Slytherans. We probably should figure out another code though because some Slytherans figured it out. So maybe…"

"No Lily, we can't."

"Sevvy, I know it will be difficult but we can make it work."

Severus took a deep breath and said, "I wish it could but Lily, nothing's changed, I'm still a Death Eater."

"You're Dumbledore's spy."

"Yes, and if they ever find that out and find out about us, we're doomed. They not only would kill you, they'd torture you in the worst possible way, just to punish me for my betrayal. I can't risk that. I can't risk you." He said placing strand of hair behind her ear.

"I don't want to risk you either but you're still doing this dangerous thing." Lily said pointedly.

"I have to. I'm our best chance at defeating him. I can get detailed Intel. I've been giving the Order Intel. This is bigger than you and me and right now I can't…we can't be together."

"Sev, we can…" Lily said.

"Lily, I can't do what I need to do if we… I love you but it's too dangerous. I'm sorry."

"So am I." Lily said starting to get angry and she apparated out leaving a part of Severus behind as he stared at the warm spot of the bed that she laid on feeling cold and alone once again.

Snape tried to shrug off the memory, stay in this moment, and deal with the here and now. Lily was here and he needed to help her get back to her time. Then for the first time, he glanced back at Ron's and Harry's complete shocked and dumbfounded faces. He had completely forgotten they were in the room.

Then Harry said, "What the hell? Hermione's my…?"

Then Lupin interrupted Harry and said, "Harry and Ron, we probably should give them a moment."

Harry and Ron followed Lupin out of the room, as they both glanced back at Snape, utterly bewildered.
