Part 14


\"God, this is so good.\" Susana said as she ate another bite of the cheese enchiladas she\'d made. \"Everything just seems to taste so much better now that I\'m in my second trimester.\"

Harry laughed as he watched his wife shovel food into her mouth. \"That\'s rather obvious. You do realize that\'s you fifth serving?\"

She smiled. \"Yes, but your daughter likes my enchiladas.\" She looked across the table. \"Pass the jalapenos, please.\"

He handed them to her. \"And I thought Ron ate a lot.\"

\"Hey, it\'s partly your fault I\'m eating like this, you know. Besides, when else can a woman make a total pig of herself and have an actual excuse.\" She patted her even belly. (Even meaning she wasn\'t quite showing yet, but her abdomen wasn\'t as flat as it normally was.) \"Don\'t you just love Mexican food?\"

\"To be honest this is the first time I\'ve ever eaten this. It is, however, wonderful. ... If you don\'t mind me asking, how is it that you can cook and your mother, as your father put it last night, burns water.\"

Susana almost choked on a jalapeno when she started laughing. \"That\'s cold. True, but cold. My mother can\'t even brew a decent potion. When we moved to America, Mom hired this older woman named Marta. When Mom was at work, Marta taught me to do all of the domestic stuff like cooking and cleaning and laundry. I miss her. When I transferred here, she moved to San Antonio to live with her son and his family. I feel really bad that I haven\'t written to her and told her what\'s been going on.\"

\"Write to her.\" Harry told her.

Susana shook her head. \"That wouldn\'t be fair to her. ... Tomorrow starts Hogsmeade weekend. I\'ll ask permission to go to the Muggle village to call her.\"

\"But the closest Muggle village is...\"

\"Closer than the students think. They tell us it farther so that we won\'t sneak off. I\'ll talk to Albie tonight.\" She got in her husband\'s lap. \"Maybe we can stay at the Inn my mom told me about. She and my dad use to sneak off to it all the time.\"

Harry looked at her in shock. \"Snape was a horny teenager?\"

She rolled her eyes. \"Yes, believe it or not, my father was and is human.\"

He moved his hand up and down her leg. \"Thank God for that.\" His eyebrows wiggled. \"It\'s just hard to picture your father like that.\"

She ran her fingers over his face. \"Do you really want to picture my father right now?\" Her lips met his.

\"Not really.\" He continued kissing her. Just when passion started to take over, a knock came from the door to the staff corridor.

\"Ten bucks says it\'s my dad.\"

\"Bucks?\"

\"Pounds, sickles, whatever.\" Susana got off of Harry\'s lap and answered the door. \"Hi Daddy.\" She greeted her father with a hug.

\"You\'re in a rather chipper mood.\" He observed.

She bit her lip and shrugged her shoulders. \"And why shouldn\'t I be? My family\'s back together, I have a wonderful husband and that nasty morning sickness potion is a thing of the past. I\'m on cloud nine.\"

Snape rolled his eyes. \"I see the euphoria stage has set in.\" He glanced at his son-in-law. \"The next five months should be sickening.\"

\"I can\'t wait.\" Harry smiled.

\"Yes, well ... The reason I\'m here is that Emily wants to take you shopping in ...\" He shook his head in disgust. \"She wants to take you into London for the weekend to buy clothes for you.\"

\"Cool. So just the two of us or...\"

Severus closed his eyes. \"She wants it to be a family outing, just the four of us. Doesn\'t that sound ... charming?\"

Susana put her hands on her hips. \"Well, if you weren\'t such a poop-head it would. Come on Daddy, You promised that you wouldn\'t be this way.\"

Her father walked all the way into the living area and flopped onto the couch. \"I loathe going into London. Especially when we have to travel there like Muggles.\"

Her face fell. She knew that while she was pregnant, she wouldn\'t be allowed to apparate. \"I\'m sorry.\" She bit her bottom lip. \"You don\'t have to go. I\'ll tell Momma I just want it to be just her and me.\"

Harry\'s face now wore a depressed look.

Seeing this, Snape sighed. \"No, we can all go. I\'m simply being selfish and as your mother loves to remind me, pigheaded. Of course we shall spend the weekend together.\"

Susana jumped onto her father\'s lap. \"Thank you, thank you, thank you!\"

He chortled. \"My dear, I do believe that you\'ve gained a bit of weight.\"

She nodded. \"Harry makes me eat a lot.\"

\"Makes you?\" Harry questioned.

\"Well...\"

\"Why are we buying her maternity clothes? She wears a uniform?\" Severus questioned his wife as his daughter was trying on clothes in the dressing room.

Emily just smiled. \"Because her uniform isn\'t going to fit her much longer. Her robes can be enlarged, but that skirt... Besides, I\'ve already cleared everything with Grandfather. He wants her pregnancy to be as stress free as possible.\"

\"Yes, but the other students will ridicule her and say that the Head Master is playing favorites.\"

\"Only those that are Slythrin.\" She glanced at her husband. \"Speaking of, keep an eye on Draco Malfoy. Something\'s brewing within him. Something extremely dark.\"

He brushed his fingers through her hair. \"What is it, my love?\"

\"I\'m not sure. I don\'t know if it\'s because I haven\'t used my gift in so long or if he is somehow able to block me from seeing. Whatever it is, it\'s directed at Susana and Harry.\"

Susana was in the lavish hotel room she was sharing with her husband, talking on the telephone.

\"Believe me Marta, Harry is well worthy of my love. ... Right. After the baby\'s born we\'ll come for a visit. ... Okay. ... I love you too Marta. Adios.\" She hung up the receiver. \"Well, she was a bit disappointed in the fact that I\'ve only been here since September 1st and I\'m already pregnant, but she\'s happy for us.\" She bit her bottom lip. \"I told her we\'d visit after she\'s born. Is that okay?\"

\"Of course.\" Harry said after he exited the bathroom wearing only a pair of drawstring pajama pants. \"I\'d love to meet the person who had a hand in raising the woman I love.\"

She walked over to him and put hers arms around his neck. \"Flattery will get you everywhere.\" She kissed him. \"So, where did you disappear to after we left Gringott\'s this morning?\"

He looked at her innocently. \"I didn\'t disappear.\"

\"Yes you did. When my parents and I went into that maternity store, you excused yourself and came back an hour later. Where\'d ya go?\"

\"It\'s not polite to ask questions this close to Christmas.\"

Her eyes perked up. \"Christmas, huh? Interesting.\"

He kissed her. \"Very. ... Did you get this nightgown today.\"

She spun around and the green silk nightgown flared. \"You like it? It should get me through my entire pregnancy.\"

\"You know you\'re not going to be wearing it very often.\"

She furrowed her brow. \"Why\'s that?\"

He grabbed the hem and lifted it over her head. \"Because you look so sexy in it, I\'m going to take it off of you every time.\"

She licked her suddenly dry lips. \"Makes sense.\"

\"I thought so.\" His lips descended on hers.

Then a knock came from the door.

\"I swear, if that\'s your parents...\"

Susana laughed. \"Maybe if I answer it as is, they\'ll get the hint.\"

Harry got a mischievous look on his face. \"I dare you.\"

\"I don\'t think so. With my luck, I\'ll open the door and it\'ll be housekeeping.\" She grabbed her gown and slipped it back on.

The knock came again.

Harry looked out the peephole. \"I swear your father has radar.\" He opened the door and let Severus into the room.

\"We were fixin\' to go to bed, Daddy.\" She said in a southern drawl.

\"I won\'t be long. I just wanted to remind you that the train leaves precisely at eleven.\"

\"And you couldn\'t have called?\" Harry snapped.

Snape crossed his arms. \"Actually, Emily\'s been trying to call for about an hour. She was getting worried.\"

\"I was talking to Marta. Sorry.\" She hugged her father. \"We won\'t be late tomorrow.\" She yawned.

\"Get some rest, my beautiful daughter.\" He glared at his son-in-law. \"Let her get her rest. That is YOUR child she\'s carrying.\"

\"Good night, Daddy.\" She led him to the door.

Once Severus was gone, Susana took her gown off again and was in her husband\'s arms.

\"Perhaps you should get some rest. It has been a long day.\" Harry caressed her body.

\"Please, I just yawned to get rid of him.\" She pressed her body closer to his. \"You\'ve got too many clothes on, my dear husband.\"

He grinned. \"I guess we should do something about that.\"

She stepped back a bit and grabbed the drawstring of his pants and pulled. Once untied, they dropped to the ground.

She smiled. \"Much better.\"

They were quickly in each other\'s arms again.

\"Bed.\" Susana commanded.

They made their way to the bed and slowly began to make love. Harry gently moved his hands over her body leaving goose flesh everywhere he touched.

\"Harry...\" She moaned.

\"I love your body.\" His hand moved lower on her body. His fingers brushed the neatly groomed triangle of hair that led to the entrance of her womanhood.

\"Mmm...\" She arched up into his touch.

His fingers parted her lower lips and he began dipping them into her wetness.

\"Oh God!\" Susana\'s panted.

His finger entered her a bit.

\"Ooh...\"

\"Do you like that, Susana?\" He added another finger and went deeper.

\"Yes.\" Her voice was breathy.

His thumb brushed her clit.

\"Yes!\"

Harry kissed her and then licked across to her ear. He whispered. \"Tell me what you want.\"

\"I want you, Harry. I want you inside me now.\"

Harry kissed her and positioned himself at her entrance. Staring deep into her eyes, they became one.
