The two men watched laughing as their mates played with the children until the older girls that were in charge brought an end to the fun.
“Night kids,” Harry called as he slung the towel that had been offered to him around his neck and then wandered back over to the two Doms.
Stopping in front of Severus, he tilted his head back and gave a big cheesy grin to the older man. Severus in return reached up and tweaked his nose for good measure.
“Did you have fun?” he asked as Harry shook water from his body like a wet dog, getting both he and Max wet in the process. Laughing, Harry nodded his head and slipped his hand into Severus’ larger one.
“Allie told me that we are staying.” He laughed as the small woman reached over and squeezed his hand.
“Well someone needed to make sure you understood,” Sev smirked as he began to lead the small group back around the house to find their other friends. He was ecstatic inside that they were going to live in the States, but he knew that they would have to go back for at least the first half of the school year. Dumbledore would need time to replace them both, and they would both need time to get their affairs in order. Christmas then, that is when they would go, after everyone left for their break. Glad he had decided that he started paying attention to the conversation that was going on between the two subs that were walking between he and Max.
“You know I will probably be your kids’ teacher,” Allie was saying as Harry stopped in his tracks and stared at the back of Severus’ head. Allie stopped with him and looked at him.
“What’s wrong Harry? Did I say something I shouldn’t?” she worried, she didn’t want to say anything that would make the two men change their minds about moving. She had just thought she’d mention she’d probably be the one their kids had as a teacher, she was after all the kindergarten teacher there at the Echo Elementary School. The only kindergarten teacher there in Echo.
“Allie….” Harry whispered, “ we’ve never talked about kids. I don’t think Sev really likes them much.” He was looking down at the ground now, wishing he knew how the older man felt. He thought he knew, but he could still dream about having a little baby of their own to love. He quickly started walking again, catching back up to the two men ahead and surreptitiously swiping the back of one hand across his eyes, he didn’t want to pester Sev with his silly notions. He was happy to be able to spend his life with him and that was enough he told himself.
Allie hurried to catch up, mentally kicking herself, wishing she’d kept her big mouth shut. Sighing, she reached out and caught Harry’s hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. Severus had caught a word or two of the conversation and sighed. Children, Harry wanted babies, he could understand the desire and he wanted them too.
He reached back and grabbed Harry’s hand and spun him around to stop in front of him. Harry looked at him wide eyed and curious. Severus nodded to Max before he spoke.
“Max is going to be your Healer Harry,” he said as Harry looked at the large red haired man in confusion.
“Huh?” was the most intelligent thing that came out of his pretty mouth at that moment.
Severus snorted and rolled his eyes, “Max is a Healer. He will look after you as you carry my….our children. Did you think I was so callus as to simply let you squat in the dirt and have the babes?” He snorted again. “No child of mine will ever be wanting in any aspect of life, especially prenatal care.”
Harry simply stood there gobsmacked, you could have knocked him over with a feather. His mouth hung open and he simply stared at the man in front of him as if he’d suddenly grown a second head. Severus reached up and closed his mouth and kissed the tip of his nose.
“Now start acting like you have some sense or I shall have to rethink marrying you. I won’t have an imbecile as the other parent to my progeny, you know.”
“But….” Harry began and then turned to look at Max who simply winked at him.
“Doctor Maxwell Sorens at your service.” He said as he winked at Harry.
Harry’s lower lip trembled and his body started to shake slightly.
“We can have a baby?” he asked tremulously, looking at the raven haired man, almost as if he were expecting it to all be a joke in the end., not wanting to believe he was going to get to have a family of his own finally.
Severus pulled the shaking man into his embrace and held him close, kissing his damp hair and whispering to him. Allie watched them both as she leaned against Max and smiled, she knew that Max hadn’t told anyone yet that she was pregnant, but he would soon.
“Bit,” Max began, “from the way Sev here is talking; he plans to keep you barefoot, knocked up and in the kitchen for quite sometime to come.” The big man pulled his woman close and began to sway to the music that was spilling through the air. Merlin he enjoyed Clapton on a summer night when he had his witch in his arms.
Severus stroked Harry’s face tenderly and kissed him there as they stood in the shadows, “Lots and lots of babies, precious love, lots and lots of them.”
Harry wrapped his arms around Severus’ waist and pressed his body next to him. Severus taking a cue from Max, started to sway to the melody, rubbing slow circles over his mates back and shoulders. Softly singing “Lady in Red” as they moved in the shadows, Severus was startled when Harry suddenly stood stock still and looked up at him.
“Marry me???” he said in wonder, “You want to marry me?”
Throwing back his head and laughing deeply, Severus then looked at the smaller man, “I wondered how long it would take for you to realize what I had said. Yes brat, I want to marry you, I want to share eternity with you.”
Once again Harry was gobsmacked and just stared at the other man.
Severus stepped back a step or two, folded his long legs under him and dropped to his knees.
Taking Harry’s hand, he started, “Harry James Potter, would you do me the honour of sharing my life, with all of the good times and all of the bad times there will be now and in the future. Would you be my husband, Harry?”
