New Life
Tobias looked like his world had just been reborn. His wife had blue smudges under her eyes, damp with sweat and eyes heavy as he was handed the small bundle. Black hair and eyes peered up at him, examining him as close as he was the babe. With wonder he looked from child to mother, a smile growing. The future for this little soul so wide and open, he would shield him from the bias that he had experienced from her peers.
“What shall we call him?” She whispered.
“Severus, after your grandfather, like we discussed.” He kissed his son’s nose.
~~~~~~~~~
Eileen felt completely exhausted, but completely invigorated. Tobias held their new son looking as goofy as Xenophilius ever did. Severus, like her grandfather, she was surprised, unsure he would actually chose that name. When she held him in her arms, she knew the name fit. His solemn expression, and deep voice compared to the others in the ward, but she loved him none the less. Kisses peppered before the nurse took him, she vowed he would have a loved life. Her family would love him, and accept his father. Grandfather would have loved him. Things would be better for them.
~~~~~~~~~~
The family was not impressed. The child was not what they expected. He looked like that dirty muggle that she married, and nothing like what a Prince should look like. Then to give him Grandfather’s name? As if that would fix the past? What were they thinking? That baby may be redeemed later, the hair and eyes would change with his age, every other Prince’s did, and if his voice did not change, well, it could only get better with age. Not what the family wanted, but if it developed magic, it might be passable in a few years time.
