Petals

Chapter Eleven

You were a bit happy you were sitting beside Snape in the Great Hall. All eyes were on you as you ate Severus constantly looking your way with a smile. You finally spot the girl from the night before and gave her a wave. It catches her attention, but she waved back noticing as she grinned at Snape. You think nothinf of it as you finish eating. Considering you know have possibly two weeks, he'll be teaching today. He's also preparing to take off if they allow him to leave with you. As you leave for the green house, you grab at his hand right quick telling him you'll meet him for lunch. While Dumbledore wasn't looking like a teenager, he gives you a quick kiss on the cheek. You blush exiting the school and making your way to your babies. Sprout was studying them with Hagrid saying they believe one was trying to break through the barrier. You rushed back to the school afraid that they was wrong and slightly concern about the baby being born one month early. As you finally make it to his room, you notice him outside with another girl her giggling as she hits him playfully on the shoulder. You lose your grip again before reminding yourself you two are literally about to have a baby. You walk up to them unnoticed hearing his laughter as they joke about the dark arts. He suddenly sees you and his expression immediately changed wondering if something was wrong by your expression. You smiled again saying a baby might be arriving early. He nearly jumps grabbing you by the arms in excitement. He turns to his student telling her to go find a sub for him you noticing he grabbed her shoulder. Putting her hands behind her back, she nodded saying her farewells staring at your thin belly in confusion. He turns to his class saying he was about to have a child hearing an up road of cheering.

" Let's go!"

He takes you by the hand you two running back. You two were panting as Sprout said it was the little boy, and that he was a true fighter. You two watch as the flower plucked from his head being official. You two watch as he tears through the skin crying as he has his final breath of fresh air. You picked him up first crying as you held your first child to be born. Sprout hands you a towel smiling as you wipe him clean. You smile as Snape asks to hold him you gently passing him over.

" You know, I was thinking of Daze because of the daisy."

" Daze Julian Snape."

" I like how we both picked out the name. I have him some clothes to wear."

" I went shopping in New York, too if they don't fit him right."

" I beat you two to it!"

Hagrid pulls out a gift you opening it. It said 'Uncle's Favorite'. Sprout pulled out the diapers as her present. She tells you she bought these for the baby shower, but it never came. As you put the diaper on, you realize you can't leave them here without Snape. Maybe you can talk him into sitting it out and to just appreciate the two weeks like you will. He notices your expression change but says nothing. Suddenly, you hear a knock at the door seeing it was no other than Zues.

" I knew I felt it. How are they?"

" He's fine. It's just the boy for now. Well, Daze."

He walks forward sighing as he can't hold back his smile. He tells you others are coming as well. Just as he said it, Gaia rushes in enforcing to see her grandson. Snape slowly brings him to her careful considering her a rabid dog. He asked still if she would like to hold him, and she even considers it before shaking her head. She looks over at the girls asking about their condition. You tell her for now they're still not ready. Snape watches as Gods of all kinds appeared analyzing the child, but none wanting to touch him like he had a disease. Aphrodite is the only one that made contact booping his nose. At least she was a bit humane. That's when Dumbledore made his way through the room smiling as he asks to hold him. You watch as he adored him saying his classes were covered for today and for as long as he needed. You thanked the old man as he gives the baby to Hagrid.

" When are you going to have one?"

You were shocked at mother's comment towards her son.

" Whenever J meet the right one and settle down."

" Well, hurry up. You're starting to get old."

He just laughs awkwardly at her. You actually had a casual gathering with the Gods though it really turned into talk of the war with the Titans. Many wondered how Cronus released all the Titans having being held in a different facility. You honestly didn't want to talk politics at the birth of your son, but you guess it was better than nothing. Hermès suddenly walked up to Snape giving out his hand.

" I've spoke with my family. We were wondering if you would join the battle along with a few others posssibly. We would greatly appreciate you by our side."

" I've been hoping you would say that. Glad to be on board."

You frown for a second thinking of Snape's well being. What if he gets hurt? It's different out there then a battle here. You're at a safe distance, but with a sword, you have to get up close and personal in this field. Hermès notice your hesitation wondering why you've changed your mind. You had only requested it a few hours ago.

Snape kisses you happier than never. You lean in his embrace the moment almost being perfect. You even begin to joke around with the gods and commenting on battle tactics along sharing their stories with the campers.
