This was a wonderful first-time story with a good mix of angst, humor, and romance.
The sadness he felt tonight was every bit as sharp as it had been the day Lily had died.
::wibbles:: Poor Severus.
"You were told to make sure you ate, Severus! Little meals several times a day, but no, you refuse to give up thirty-nine years of habit and this is what happens: dehydrated, exhausted, underweight and unconscious! Are you completely satisfied now?"
Madam Pomfrey! You go, girlfriend!
Madam Pomfrey cut him off with another gesture at the books. "You would do well to remember how randy the influx of hormones makes a pregnant wizard and be thankful for any opportunity Severus might give you to bring him to climax. The endorphin this releases has a calming effect and it will be a marked improvement over a pregnant, sexually frustrated, ill-tempered man like Severus Snape."
::jaw drops:: Uh, oooookay... ::totters off::
"Get out of my house, Potter! You're not wanted here!"
::headdesk:: Oh, Snape, please to unlax.
It didn't matter ultimately; Severus knew he'd be alone, just as he'd always been.
Nononono, it'll be different this time, rlyrly! Be strong, Harry!
Hungarian Horntail plushie!! ::squeeeee!::
::heh:: Scheming Snape trying to come up with plan after plan to get rid of Harry was fun to read.
The ember of hope that Harry had struggled to keep from going out suddenly burst into flame inside his body and he found that everything now seemed brighter in his eyes.
Finally! Oh plz, oh plz, oh plz!!
"I have no desire to hear your pathetic excuses, Potter! It's just another example of your immaturity, acting without thinking! How do you expect me to trust you with this child when you can't even be trusted to keep your affairs private! Get out of my sight, you disgust me!"
D'oh! Why do you hurt Harry so? :(
Harry's letter was so heart-wrenching.
"I didn't take anything, Professor," Harry whispered brokenly. "I was just trying to find a reason to go on."
::wibbles:: Oh, poor Harry. ::nudges Snape:: Make things right!
Severus sat propped up against pillows, a bemused expression on his face as he glanced up from the equally tiny baby in his arms. Keenan slept contentedly, older than his identical twin by less than five minute. Evan having been discovered as Poppy had gone to heal the birthing incision, much to everyone's surprise.
Twins! Great googly moogly! Yeah! Welcome, Evan and Keenan!
"Yes, absolutely perfect, love."
'Nuff said! ::inserts And they all lived happily ever after.::
Harry was really wonderful throughout the story. So kind, patient, and caring. I loved how he managed to slowly woo and win over Severus.
Snape...::sighs:: was his usual cantankerous and snarky self. I loved how he slowly but surely thawed under Harry's pampering. Heehee!
