Love For Too Many

Chapter 27

It's only been a day since we got off Christmas break and the kids are already counting down the days til summer. Well some are, others are praying summer never comes because they don't want to go home again so soon or ever.

But many of the students have already noticed the shining stone dazzling on my left hand as I help with homework or write at my desk. Every time a student points it out I look to Severus to see if I should decline the accusation or agree with it.

Some children have Death Eaters as parents and we wouldn't want to have our secret out before it's been enjoyed thoroughly.

If Voldemort truly has a problem with me we'll deal with it, but Severus told Voldemort that he didn't care about me and that I was Dane's. I was just an assistant. If he knew Severus was lying that could be the end of everything we've both built.

Speaking of Voldemort, news of his power growing have become increasingly popular and sources say he's coming to Hogwarts and we'll be face with a battle. I'm not sure how that will affect us or if it's even true. But I do know Sev will give his life to protect Wendy and me.

It will be even harder for us to be out of Voldemort's reach when people begin to see my stomach grow. I haven't taken a test yet so I don't know for sure but ever since that night in the potions classroom, things have felt... off.

I've been trying so hard to keep it a secret from Severus so I can surprise him with it for his birthday next week but throwing up in seclusion has been very difficult.

Minerva would say, what if it's food poisoning.

Who am I kidding Minnie would be ecstatic to see another baby around Hogwarts that she can play with. She has the worst baby love I've ever seen.

Today after classes I'm planning to go into Hogsmead to buy a test kit and some goodies and sweets.

I don't know if I'm excited or terrified for an addition to the family. Sev and I aren't even married, my abusive ex husband just died, and there might be a war coming... this is not the time for a pregnancy and a baby. Nor do I want a shot gun wedding.

"Miss Y/l/n?" Severus's voice catches my attention and brings me back to reality.

"Yes?" The classroom full of students murmurs and chuckles.

"Could you help the students set up the cauldrons and get your mind back to reality please?" The students gasp a little at the famous "p" word.

"Yes Professor Snape, sorry."

I gracefully get up from my desk and begin to help the students with their cauldrons and the ingredients needed for the potion.

The rest of class zips by without a hitch and the students file out the door when the bell rings. I walk to my desk and grab my bags.

On my way back out the door I feel his hands reach around my waist and pull me against his body.

"Now where are you going my love?" Severus nuzzles into my neck giving me goosebumps.

"It's my break so I'm headed into Hogsmead. Would you like anything?"

"Hogsmead? No, no I don't need anything. Why are you going there on your break?" He lets me go but spins me so I'm facing him.

"Wendy has been very good lately and she wanted some chocolate frogs. So as a reward I'm headed to get her some." He scans my face with a scowl on his.

"Now the truth?" I know where this is going so I immediately put up my shields.

"That was the truth Sev, why would I lie to you?"

"That's what I'd like to know. It's not like you to keep secrets."

I can feel his boundaries pushing against my shields. "No legitimacy! I'm going to get your birthday present okay!"

He looks taken aback by my truth. "Love you don't need to get me anything. Having you on my birthday is a better present then I've ever gotten before! Your love for me is enough for the rest of my life. Being Wendy's step dad is enough to for two life times! You don't need to get me anything."

"Well too bad. I did a muggle thing called pre-ordering. I just need to pick it up."

Well that's sort of the truth.

"Well I have to go. Love You bye!" I slip out of the classroom and hurry through the corridors to get to the carriages.

I hop into one of the carriages and off I go to Hogsmead to buy candy, Severus's birthday present, and a pregnancy test.

Being a mom of 2... that could be interesting. What if it's a boy?! I don't know how to be a boy mom! He could turn out like Dane! But he could also turn out like Severus! Baby names?

Then the worst thoughts I've ever had popped in my mind.

What if Severus doesn't want kids and he hurts me or makes me have an abortion. What if he loves the baby but ends up hating me like Dane did. Could he ever be like Dane. No, no he couldn't.

Severus would be and is the best dad I've ever seen he'll love this baby with his whole heart I know that.

Severus hasn't ever met my parents. SEVERUS HAS NEVER MET MY PARENTS AND I MIGHT BE PREGNANT WITH HIS CHILD?!
