This is the end of my story friends. I hoped you enjoyed it and that it wasn't too painful to read. Feed back is wonderful, as I always have some story ideas turning in my mind and aren't sure how to word them.

Finally: Severus Snape belongs to J. K. Rowling. Forgotten Dreamer and Elizabeth are mine. :o)


"We'll name her Melee after your grandmother. If it's a boy well... I like Theodore."

"Theodore?" He frowned, rubbing her stomach without thought. They were sitting in front of the fire, Elizabeth sitting between his knees as both their hands rested on her swollen stomach.

"Yes. I. Like. It." She shrugged. "It's my brother's name."

"Theodore." He tried again. He shrugged. "I could live with calling him Theo."

Elizabeth smirked turning to look at him. "Theo means god you know."


"Severus Snape, get your butt over here now!" Demanded Elizabeth, her manner very angry and firm. "You are going to hold your daughter. And now!"

Severus, speechless, sat in the chair placed by Elizabeth's hospital bed. She smiled sweetly at him before gently putting their daughter into his arms. He stiffened instantly.

"You won't break her." she whispered. Severus slowly relaxed, cradling his first born child to his chest as Elizabeth had told him too. Elizabeth felt herself tear up, as she recognized the look in his eyes. He held and looked at their daughter like a true father would look at a much beloved child.


"Severus! You have to see this!" Elizabeth rushed into his potion classroom. Severus snapped his head, from where he had been intimidating a student. His face showed rage as he straightened.

"Witch! I am in the middle of teaching my class!"

All the students held their breath, wondering if the professor was capable of murder by the way he was looking at his wife. However, Elizabeth only continued to smile, putting their baby on her feet, only holding her hands. Elizabeth knelt down.

"Ok Melee, walk to Daddy."

Melee, who always seemed to be smiling, smiled bigger at her father before she began to waddle her way towards him. Elizabeth released her hands and Severus twitched forward as if she might fall. Melee giggled and Severus forgot about his class completely, as his little girl walked right towards him for the very first time.


"Severus?"

"Mmm." He sat with a sleeping Melee in his lap, as he flipped through a potion journal. Elizabeth knelt next to his chair and he looked up at her. "Something wrong?" His voice showed his concern. She shook her head quickly. Too quickly.

"Elizabeth?"

"I'm pregnant."

He didn't blink.

"I know we talked about waiting and everything but..." She really did look worried and stressed about the matter. Severus leaned back in his chair, turning the page.

"I don't know why you act this way Eliza. Like I would be angry with you." He smirked despite himself. "I plan on many Snape children and I am tired of waiting."

Elizabeth's squeal of joy was followed by a huge hug and kiss, that woke Melee.


"Elizabeth Snape!" roared Severus. Elizabeth popped her head into the bedroom. Severus growled. "What are you doing in there? I thought you said you were almost ready."

"And I am. A minute more. I promise." She disappeared back into the bathroom. Severus muttered to himself before glancing at the clock.

"At this rate," he called. "Albus and Minerva will be returning with our kids and our Friday night will be over!"

He had to do a double take when Elizabeth stepped out of their bathroom. He whistled as his eyes dropped before slowly taking her in. Elizabeth blushed, moving nervously under his gaze. She was wearing one of his few white button up shirts, that only went mid thigh. Her curls were down and she had spent most of the time arranging them just right around her shoulders. She wasn't wearing make up.

"Severus..."

"You look... beautiful baby."

She blushed in pleasure before he growled.

"What are you doing over there?" He asked. She smirked before she went to where he sat on the corner of their bed. Her arms went around his neck and she wasted no time pulling them together for their first kiss of the night.


"Are you sure Poppy?" Asked Elizabeth, holding her stomach. The medi witch nodded with a smile.

"I would guess you are at least a two months along my friend."

Elizabeth laughed before she sat up.

"I have to tell Severus."

"Get dressed first!" Poppy stopped her from leaving in only a hideous hospital gown. Elizabeth hurried into her dress, made sure she was modest before she hurried to Severus's class. She hardly notice the tension in the room as she went straight to Severus's desk. He had looked up at her arrival before he took another five points from Hufflepuff and joined her.

"What are you doing here?" he hissed under his breath. Elizabeth gave him a beautiful smile, touching his sleeve.

"I had to tell you right away—"

"Oh no." cried Mr. Thompson. Severus pushed Elizabeth with his body under this desk before a large booming echoed throughout the dungeons. Elizabeth clenched her stomach as Severus held her to him. Sending a spell to settle the air, he stood looking around the room. He growled, helping Elizabeth to her feet and checking over her in a flash.

"Too much worm tail. Everyone, get out now! The air is toxic!" The students rushed from their hiding places as Severus pulled an unconscious Mr. Thompson from his exploded cauldron. Elizabeth ushered the rest of the students out. Severus handed Mr. Thompson to Mr. Filch who had heard the explosion. Severus turned to Elizabeth.

"I'll check that everyone got out safely."

Covering his mouth with his sleeve, he hurried back inside. One girl, Hannah McGreen, gave out a cry.

"Sandia! She's still inside!"

"I'll get her. Everyone to the hospital wing." Elizabeth rushed back into the classroom. Severus glared at her a Bubble around his head, Sandia leaning against him holding her arm. She also had a Bubble spelled around her for clean air.

"What are you doing in here!"

"Sandia..." She blinked before grabbing her throat, gasping. Severus's eyes widened. Elizabeth turned to leave the room but suddenly everything went black.

"Elizabeth!"


Elizabeth watched the magic stars of their charmed bedroom window. It was late at night, Severus was sound asleep beside her. Melee and Theodore was sleeping in their beds. Her grading was all completed. Life was good.

She smiled touching her stomach. Poppy confirmed for Severus and Elizabeth that the toxic air had not hurt their baby and that Elizabeth would be fine to carry their little one to term. Melee and Theodore were excited about the idea of a baby and she couldn't wait till the babies was kicking, so they could feel them. Severus's hand stroked her tummy as he slept, comforting her and their unborn children. She grinned, as she hadn't told Severus she was to have twins. Yet.

Poppy said it wasn't the rock hitting her head that caused her to remember everything. Rather, it was Theodore and finally Elizabeth being able to connect with her mothering instincts in wanting to keep him safe. Severus didn't care what caused what — only that he had his Elizabeth back and she was healthy and safe.

For he clearly loved her.


That's the end! Again, I hope you all enjoyed it. I am no pro at writing but I had fun and that's what counts.

Thank you for sticking to the end with this one.

Let me know what you think! Review!
