One More Light (Severus Snape's Love Story)

Chapter 4

Sam was sitting on her bed, facing the familiar window, looking out to the familiar park across her home. It was only months that She was taken and 6 months ago She was spending Christmas here with my parents. But it seemed so long ago. The memory when She was captured pushed those happy memories so far away, as if they were no longer hers, as if they were just dreams and wishful thinking.

She turned as She still heard voices from outside of her bedroom. Voices belong to her parents and Fleur and Bill. It has been awhile that they had talked. She didn't want to tell anyone what happened and so She didn't. It was a mystery for her what they were talking about as She didn't mention to anyone what happened. They probably talked about her pregnancy. Her parents wide eyes weren't something She was surprised. It was a big surprise.

She placed her hand on her belly again. Something She had got accustomed to, was her belly getting bigger each day. A baby growing inside her. A pure innocent baby. Will it be a boy or a girl. Will it be brilliant like Severus. She hoped so.

The sound of the door opening behind her distracted her that She turned, and found her parents smiled at her. They were genuine smiles, She knew, but they were also forced smiles, and maybe pity smiles. Her mom teary eyes softened when they dropped to her belly. Her dad squeezed her mom's shoulder and said, "Take some rest. We will prepare dinner as usual. I've invited your friends to stay for the night so they can join us for dinner."

She nodded.

Her mom turned her gaze to her dad, they were communicating in silent. Then her dad turned and left them. She walked and sat next to her on the bed.

"When I was pregnant with you, I was strong like an ox. Usually they get nausea and vomit all the time. But I didn't."

She then turned to her and pulled her both hands to hers and carefully dropped to her lap. "Do you have any nausea?"

She shook her head. "Maybe I am just like you."

"How about your eating? Can you eat? Do you eat enough?"

She looked at her glassy eyes and nodded. "I will be. I have you now."

Her mom directly pulled her into her arms and she cried. Sam cried as well. She let all her emotion and after they finally can regulate our breathing, She told her something She was so scared to share.

"I love this baby, mom." She said convincing her, "and I don't know what Fleur and Bill told you. I also couldn't tell you much as I don't want to relive what had happened. But please believe me when I tell you, that the father of this baby is a good man."

She frowned in her surprise, "what?"

She turned away couldn't see her sad eyes, "I won't explain and I couldn't share yet. I don't want you and dad hate the wrong person, or someday when he actually can come and see his baby, I don't want you and dad blame him for what happened to me."

Her mom nodded. Knowing from her experience she gave her warmest smile to her daughter and said, "We will discuss this. But not know. "

That night during dinner, the parents got to know more and more about the wizarding world. Fleur and Bill shared a lot to them, as if they were telling them fairy tale. 

Sam kept her silence. 

"Sam, I hope you don't mind, but I have made you an appointment with an ObGyn to check your condition," said her mother.

"Thank you Mom," She said with a smile before she put down her eating utensils and said, "I'll be in my room."

Right after she closed her bedroom door, she was surprised to see Severus was standing in front of her window.

She didn't think, but her feet brought her to him and she leaned to him, fell to his warm embrace.

He pulled her close as if they were lovebirds who haven't met quite some time.
