Lies Revealed

Eight months of peace.

"Why are we doing this again?" Severus kept asking his very pregnant wife.

"I haven't the faintest idea. I am still trying to work out how I got conned into going to the wedding in of itself." They were leaving in fifteen minutes to attend the wedding of George Weasley and Astoria Greengrass. After their bonding ceremony, Severus found himself slowly included in all things Weasley. He actually found himself welcomed by the family.

Aberforth in the Hogs Head Pub had one child, a boy, adopted two weeks ago. Aberforth, after being declared the new head of the family, set up a trust vault for the boy and changed his Will. He was leaving everything to the boy, with suitable guardians, namely his new wife Minerva, with Poppy and Filius as backup. Tom found love with Irma Pince both loved books and old scrolls.

Narcissa and Lucius  ended up happier than ever.

Flashback (to after the honeymoon)

Sakura and Severus flooed back to Malfoy Manor.

Sitting in the Library sipping tea. Lucius started talking disturbing the quiet.

"We have some news."

"That's funny so do we, Sakura grabbed Severus' hand.

"Say it together?" Narcissa suggested.

"1"
"2"
"3"

"We're pregnant" Narcissa and Lucius exclaimed

"You're going to be grandparents!" Sakura and Severus said excitedly.

"What"

"What"

"Yeah, What?" Tom said as her came in the room.

"You're going to be a great grandfather.!" Sakura told him.

Tom looked between them and promptly fainted.

Nagini who had slithered in was laughing her scaly ass off.

Then they burst into laughter.

"So I'm going to be a big brother and uncle around the same time? " Draco moaned in joking misery.

"But youthe bestest big brother there is?" Sakura pouted.

Severus whispered in her ear.

"That pout is adorable darling."

Draco was beginning to freak out.

Tom came to and strode over to Sakura. Lifting her to her feet he spun her around.

"That's wonderful news, little snake. You're parents wouldbeso proud of you,  you know. That right?"

"How do you know they'd be proud of me?"

"Because I am proud of you!" Tom exclaimed.

Sakura began to cry, sobbing into her Grandpa's shirt.

"Come we need to make a nursery in about four places?" Tom excitedly said.

Sakura was getting sick of people just putting their hands on her belly without asking.

"If I hex them a few times, how upset would you be?" Severus asked as he reached into his wardrobe.

"I was going to ask the same question. Sev?"

"Yes?"

"Are you forgetting something?"

"No. I got you some extra blanket since it's still chilly in the mornings and evenings. I got some of that tea that settles your stomach, some crackers, and extra socks." Sakura looked at everything on the bed. "Am I forgetting something?"

"Yes. The cooling stones for when it gets hot in the afternoon."

"In the pouch already." Sakura walked up behind him, when Severus tilted his head, she gave him a kiss on the neck. "I wish I had known they were going to be there sooner. I would have removed us to some remote place where no one could find us until after George's wedding."

"Sakura -" Severus kissed her "you took my idea." The first few months of pregnancy  were rough as Severus learned to go with the flow, and definitely do not comment on clothing, eating, or crying.  He actually was happier than he could ever remember being. He enjoyed his wife being pregnant and was looking forward to having more kids. The number of children was not discussed yet. However, Severus was hoping for at least three. He was going to enjoying working on getting Sakura pregnant.

"I have an idea, we could always blame the pregnancy if we want to leave early."

"Mind reader." Sakura grinned. "Let's get this over with. I did tell Arthur I would sit down most of the day."

"Good." Severus rubbed his wife's extended belly. While the woman was almost eight months pregnant, all the weight she gained was pure baby weight, and she looked very hot.

"We don't have time." Severus warned. He grinned as Sakura growled. Severus discovered the joys of sex and they never had a quickie. He wondered if they could do that at the Burrow.

"No, no quickie at the Burrow."

"How did you know that?" Severus knew his masks and shields were in place.

"You get this look when you think about sex. I love the look by the way." Sakura kissed him again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few days later Severus was in the potions lab. Sakura smiled as she watched Severus. "Sakura, I know you are watching me." Severus looked directly at her, standing in the shadows leaning on the doorframe. "I have no idea why you love to watch me."

Sakura moved out of the shadows in the doorway. "Why wouldn't I? You are amazing." Sakura walked toward Severus. "How about we go out for a bite?" Sakura pulled Severus into his arms and kissed him. "Though, I admit, I would love to just take you to bed right now."

"Pick, Darling, I am easy to please."

Sakura laughed. "Oh, Severus, no one would ever call you easy."

Severus smiled as he loved when his Sakura laughed. "Only you get to see this side of me, you know that, Sakura. Now, I believe you mentioned bed despite neither of us being tired."

Sakura nuzzled into Severus' neck. She licked the pulse point, almost purring in pleasure.

"Do you need a written invitation?" Severus pulled back a bit. "I will take an RSVP but prefer the personal touch." Severus was always amazed at how fast Sakura could move.

Severus looked at his left hand, seeing the gold band on his finger, he smiled. He had never thought he would get bonded. He never believed that someone would or could love him. He loved Sakura. He had started to fall in love with her when Sakura never treated him like a servant. Always asked Severus for advice and listened when he gave it.

When Sakura was at Hogwarts, he never had any problems with her. No detention, no pranks, no bad grades, and no fights with other students. Severus had a role to keep up and did. Dumbledore always relied on him informing him about his snakes. He rarely did. He preferred to protect his snakes from Dumbledore and the Dark Lord.

"Sev, go to sleep." Sakura turned to face Severus. She pulled Severus' closer to her. "No more worrying about tomorrow."

"I actually not worried. I was remembering." Sakura snuggled into Severus. "I was remembering our first date." He heard Sakura mumble something but he didn't understand it. He smiled as he thought about what he got Sakura for Yule. They would be leaving in three days to go back to their little beach hut for a few weeks.

"Sev, sleep."

Severus closed his eyes as he buried his face in Sakura's hair, he also mentally thanked Lady Magic, Fate, Destiny, and every deity he could think of for their best idea regarding making Sakura his soulmate.
