Chapter 23

As the school year progressed Severus had grown to find out that Fidelia had a spy at the Potter Manor to take pictures of Hydra. Not only had she pictures of him but of Phoebus's body. She had more scadious photos but Selish had put the one of them at the pitch as revenge against Hydra. She thought that if Phoebus and Hydra's relationship crumbled then Kaleb would leave Rosemary. No such luck. Fidelia had an independent guy print the magazines and Fidelia and Selish were instantly expelled. Ryna and Bella had been cleared of any wrong doing by Selish's versetrim indused confession.

They were left to graduate and had apologized to everyone they smeared including Rosemary, who receieved a card to a woman who made blankets and clothes for babies, and Phoebus who had the number of Bella's dress maker. As it got closer to Rosemary's due date, Kaleb began to get increasingly nervous. Frequently, the Gryffindors were treated to the sound of Rosemary's yelling and Kaleb's frantic apologies as her hormones fluctuated and he tried to keep her from doing anything strenuous. Such fights never lasted, though, and Hydra always eyed Kaleb and the way he handled Rosemary's pregnancy with suspicious intensity. At the moment, Hydra was sprawled in his bed after a long, slow session with Phoebus, naked and sated, but staring at the canopy with a thoughtful frown on his face. Phoebus was cuddled up to his side.

"Whats wrong love?" he ran his hand over Hydra's chin.

He had the makings of a beard on his chin. He liked the roughness of it and he hoped that he kept it. Hydra's frown dissolved and he hugged Phoebus close. He'd been searching for months and finally found a way for one of them to get pregnant. He knew he wanted kids, but he was half afraid to ask Phoebus, and certainly not before they were married.

"Just thinking about us." He said with a warm smile.

Phoebus smiles and hugs him close.

"About... children between us?" She knew Hydra well enough to know that his studies werent about school.

He had wanted children of his own and would bare a hundred children for Hydra. Hydra swallowed and nodded. suddenly, he rolled toward Phoebus, facing him and holding him close.

"You'll still want me, won't you?" he asked in an uncharacteristic display of unsurety.

"I...Phoebus..." He sighed and stood, running his hands through his hair.

Phoebus sat up fast and looked at him.

"Of course my love." he stood up grabbing their discarded sheet wrapping his body in it.

Though he had been outed to the whole school he wasnt about to let others see his private parts. He walked over to him.

"Love whats wrong?" Hydra turned back to Phoebus, smoothing his hair with a small smile.

He'd wanted this to be so romantic, but it just seemed right...now. He broke the Dissillusion spell on the chain around his neck and pulled the heavy silver ring from it. It was one of four Malfoy Family rings- this one with a large diamond surrounded by black onyx and two silvery pearls. He knelt and offered it to Phoebus.

"Will you stay with me forever, Phoebus, and be mine?" he asked formally.

Phoebus's jaw dropped as he looks at his lover.

"Oh Hydra..." he covered his mouth tears welling up in his eyes.

"Of course! I want to be with you forever!" Tears continue to run down his cheeks.

Despite having hoped for and expected a yes, Hydra felt the tightness in his chest loosen up and he release a blinding smile, wrapping Phoebus tightly in his arms. Phoebus hugs him tight as his fingers lace into Hydra's hair.

"Oh my love..." Later that night, Hydra ran into Kaleb outside the Kitchens.

Kaleb looked tired, but very happy. He tickled the pear and stood back without a word for Hydra to preceed him. Hydra nodded and walked in. Several elves came up to the pair of them asking what they could get for them. Hydra smiled and asked for a tea tray and some kind of chocolate. Kaleb, on the other hand, asked for some mint ice-cream and a slice of watermelon. Hydra raised his brow.

"I thought the weird cravings would be over by now." he said, eyeing the tray the elves provided.

He poured both of them a cup of tea, fixing Kalebs the way he liked it and handing it to him. Kaleb grinned.

"They are," he answered. "This is one that I'd tried and liked. It's actually quite good." He grins, taking a chunk of watermelon on a fork and dipping it in the ice cream.

"So what're you doing up?" he asked before taking a bite.

Hydra smiled sofrly.

"Shock." He sated enigmatically, only explaining when Kaleb raised an eyebrow.

"Phoebus said yes." Kaleb quickly swallowed his treat and gave Hydra a one-armed hug, grinning from ear to ear.

"Merlin, that's good to hear. Not than any of us doubted, but still. Set a date yet?" Hydra shook his head.

"Not yet. I just asked him a little while ago." Kaleb nods.

"I keep meaning to ask Rosie. I even carry the ring around with me, but..." he trailed off.

Hydra's smile turned knowing.

"Hasn't been the right time?" he asked, understanding, and Kaleb nodded. "But," the young Snape sighed. "I'm thinking I should do it soon. Before the baby arrives...so tomorrow. " the boys chuckled.

Rosemary certainly looked like she was ready to pop. After a few more minutes of talking, Hydra excused himself to go back to bed and Kaleb, having finished his snack, went back too. He snuck quietly into Rosemary's room, hoping he'd not woken her with his midnight jaunt. Rosemary had indeed woken up but when he had left. She was huge! Her mother said she was bigger than with the twins. That instantly made her selfconsious. She was afraid that Kaleb would find her hideious but he had stayed with her through her morning sickness then cravings and lastly her vast moodswings. She found out their baby was going to be a boy. She had independantly thought of the name Elliot or Cameron something sweet like that. She had no idea what Kaleb had come up with. She had started knitting up baby blankets. She found that she had a real talent for it. Already the baby had 4 different blankets for their bed and 20 different rags for him. She was sitting on the bed knitting a blue blanket. Kaleb smiled softly when he found Rosemary awaked and knitting in the bed.

"Hello, love. I didn't wake you up, did I?" He asked, sliding in beside her and slipping a hand over her rounded belly.

Rosemary looks at him and smiles.

"No i woke up when you left. Where did you go?" Kaleb grins and presents her with a small plate of ice mice, her favorite candy.

"I went to the kitchens for that snack I'm not allowed to talk about." He said.

As soon as the cravings for watermelon and mint ice-cream went away, the thought of it was enough to make her naseus. Kaleb suspected that would go away once the baby was out, but he wasn't sure. Rosemary gasps and smiles brightly.

"Oh your such a sweety!" she set down her knitting and picked up the plate and ate a little bit of it.

The middle mouse squeeked and danced away every time Rosemary tried to grab it until he was the last one on the plate. Just as she went to reach for him, he pulled an intricate gold ring from beneath him and held it out for her. Kaleb kissed her temple and whispered to her.

"Will you marry me, Rosie?" Rosie looked at the mouse then the ring.

Slowly her eyes turned to Kaleb. A thought suddenly hit her. They only started being happy when she got pregnant. Maybe... Kaleb only wanted to marry her because then the baby wouldnt be a bastard. Would he marry her even if she wasnt pregnant or even if... No she couldnt think that he wouldnt love her if the baby died. She got up fast and ran to the bathroom dropping the plate to the ground. She started to cry hard. She wanted to believe that Kaleb loved her but... she couldnt be sure. Kaleb watched her, wide-eyed, and followed, standing at the bathroom door and looking lost.

"Rosie?" he asked quietly. Rosemary cries harder as she sits on the tub side holding her head. She doesnt say anything but just cries. Caleb crosses his arms over his stomach, feeling something in his chest tighten and hurt. "I...I thought...I mean..." he stopped. He'd been so sure Rosie would say yes...didn't she want him? Or...was she only with him for the baby? Is that why she didn't want to marry him? Kaleb growled to himself. How could he think such things about his Rosie? She would never do that! "What have I done wrong?" he asked quietly, coming into the room to pet her hair. "I've been carrying that ring around for months trying to think of how to ask you, afraid you were with me to give the baby a name. I want to be with you forever, Rosie. I want cry with you when this baby gets married and we're wandering an empty house toegether..." Rosemary looks at him tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I thought you wanted me only because i was pregnant... i just... was afraid... i have grown to love you so much... i didnt want you to leave me when the baby was born." She wraps her arms around him tight.

Even with the beach ball in her stomach she could still hold him tight. Kaleb squeeze her to him, kissing her forehead gently.

"I always loved you Rosie. I always will." he said quietly.

Rosemary holds him tight.

"Kaleb... i love you... yes yes i will marry you..." Kaleb smiled gently.

"Then come to bed, love, and try on your ring." Rosemary smiles and walks back to the bed.

She picks up the ring and slides it on her finger.

"I love it Kaleb..." In the morning, Hydra nuzzled close to Phoebus, smiling at the thought of being able to do this every morning for the rest of their lives.

He wrapped his arms around the smaller body, his hips nestled closely to his lover's. Phoebus stayed asleep his long black hair laying around them in a soft black blanket. His naked body, seen more now to Hydra was thin like a womans but with a surprise downstairs. Hydra ran his hand over Phoebus' belly, dipping lower to tease just above his sleeping cock. Hydra's own cock was already hard and pressed against Phoebus' behind. He kissed and nipped at Phoebus' neck, wanting his lover to wake slowly and pleasantly.

Phoebus groaned as he squirmed slightly against him. His breasts bounced slightly with the squirming while the nipples hardened into two points. His cock start to slowly harden from the touch but he still slept. Hydra lifted the arm beneath Phoebus and cupped one breast, rolling the nipple lightly between his fingers as his other hand lowered to curve around Phoebus' cock, caressing lightly and coaxing it to full hardness as he rubbed thier hips together. Phoebus moans in his sleep. Slowly the fogs of sleep lifted his eyes opening to the sensations. He moaned softly.

"Not fair... Hydra..." Hydra chuckles against Phoebus' neck.

"I may be Ravenclaw, but I was raised Slytherin, love." Just as he positions himself at Phoebus' entrance, a loud pounding erupts behind their door.

Hydra groans and drops his head down. "bloody fuck." he growls. Phoebus sits up fast and grabs his silky robe. He tied it around himself his hard on disappearing. He walked over to the door and opened it.

"Yes?" A second-year Gryffindor stands, bent over and trying to catch her breath.

She'd been in the library when Kaleb had yelled at her to get Phoebus.

"R-Rosie....labour." she finally gasped out. She'd run all the way back to Gryffindor tower to tell them Rosie was having her baby. "Th-they're alreayd in...in the Hospital wing." she said, her breath finally catching up.

Phoebus looked over to Hydra.

"Get dressed now. Rosie's having the baby!" he quickly changes his clothes to a soft summer dress without shoes.

Hydra throws on the first clean clothes he can find, somehow managing to look elegant despite, and hurries with Phoebus to the Hospital wing. Harry and Bella meet them outside the door, Harry's face white as they'd just been called through the floo by Kaleb. kaleb is in the hall to meet the four of them, his own face pale and hands shaking. Phoebus stood in front of Kaleb.

"Can we go in? Is she alright? Is she even ready to deliever him?" Phoebus was scared for his sister as Bella held the little boy in her arms.

She was still healing from her own labor with Bastian. A baby boy with HArry's endless green eyes. Kaleb nodded mutely. Harry swallowed hard. Hydra seemed to be the only calm one. He'd never been around a birth before and never heard how it was, so he wasn't sure what everyone was going crazy over. However at the sound of Rosie's scream, his eyes widened and he jumped. Kaleb and Harry, too jumped and Kaleb moaned miserably.

When the pains set in this morning, he'd thought she was dying. Harry leapt past everyone and burst into the hospital looking for his baby girl. Rosemary was laying on the bed as Phoebus ran over to Rosemary who instantly latched onto Phoebus's hand. Phoebus pressed her forehead to Rosemary. If one didnt know them they would they there were identicul twins.

"Come on Rosie you can do it..." Bella gently hands Bastian off to HArry so he doesnt get stupid on them.

She sat by Rosemary's side and held her other hand.

"It's ok Rosie-Posie. Just breath and relax." the nickname always helped making Rosemary feel better but in this case it brought out a scream from Rosemary.

Harry held his son tight, looking like he was about to pass out. Kaleb asked in a shaking voice.

"D-don't you get used to....th-this?" Harry shook his head.

"Never." he statedhoarsely.

Hydra stared at Rose wide-eyed and rethought his potion idea. Perhaps they could adopt....he wasn't sure he could ever handle seeing phoebus in such a state. The healer that was appointed by Jacob sat between her legs.

"Alright Rosie just take a deep breath and slowly bare down." Rosemary breathes hard and pushes down on the baby.

She felt her whole body go chilly as she continued to push. Phoebus and Bella both held her hand tightly. Sooner than Bella had ever delievered a child the baby boy was born. The healer wrapped the caramel colored boy in a blanket cleaning him. Phoebus looked over at the baby and smiled.

"You did it Rosie you did it!" Phoebus turned and looked at Rosemary who just laid there her eyes closed. "Rosie?" Phoebus felt panic mount up. "Rosie! Mama!" Bella gently slapped Rosie's cheek.

"Rosie... come on Rosie wake up honey..." Kaleb was instantly by her side, pressing a kiss onto Rosie's sweaty brow.

"Come on, love, please please don't leave me." He whispered frantically, running a hand through her hair. "Rosie, I need you, come on, love." Harry sat slowly, feeling a deep numb kind of fear that almost stopped his heart.

"Rosie..." Inside Rosemary's head she stood in a fog filled room.

She was thin again looking around.

"Mama! Daddy! Kaleb!" she looked around as she stepped foreward.

A silhoette appeared in front of her. Slowly the form changed to that of Dumbledore as he appeared in life. Rosemary gasped and looked at him.

"Albus Dumbledore..." she whispered.

"Rosemary Potter... i must say you look just like your mother not that its a compliment. That wretched woman cost me my ticket to power." Rosemary glared at the man.

"My daddy loves my mama! You didnt have any hold on him!" Dumbledore smirks.

"And how would you know you werent even alive when i was in power." Rosemary glares.

"Ive seen you. Your face has haunted my nightmares since i was a young girl." Dumbledore growls and reaches for her only to have a light pierce through him.

"Touch my grand baby and you will perish for eternaty." Dumbledore quickly disappeared as behind him was a slightly plump woman stands there.

She looked like a much older version of Bella. Rosemary felt a swell of love come inside her.

"Grandmama...?" the woman smiled slowly and nodded. Rosemary instantly ran over and wrapped her arms around her.

Grandmama held her close petting her hair.

"For such a young girl you have had a trying day... but you cant leave life yet. You have a new son that needs you." Rosemary looks up at her.

"But im scared Grandmama... what if im not a good mother...?" Her Grandmama smiles and pets her hair.

"Your's just like my daughter. You will be a wonderful mother. Tell you mother i said this..." slowly light blinded Rosemary as he suddenly gaspped with everyone around her.

Phoebus held her hand tighter.

"Rosie! Are you alright?" Rosemary looked around at everyone then at the child nestled in Kaleb's arms.

She reached her hands out to him.

"Please..." Kaleb felt his knees give out and Harry was instantly by his side, one arm around him letting him slip slowly to the ground.

He handed Rosemary their son as tears poured down his face. He'd never been so scared in his life. Harry, too released a shaky, tear-laden sigh. Kaleb laid his head beside Rosie's on the pillow.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again." he whispered desperately.

Behind them, Hydra quickly wiped a few stray tears away before anyone could see them. Rosemary gently held the baby and looked at him. She ran her finger over his cheek tears sproting up into her eyes.

"Oh my sweet boy... my sweet baby..." She gently kisses his forehead then looks at Kaleb. "What do you want to name him?" Kaleb blushes.

"I...I was thinking Cameron..." he said softly. "But we can name him whatever you like, Rosie." Rosemary smiles and pets his hair.

"Our sweet Cameron... i like it..." She gently hands Cameron back to Kaleb. "Mama... can i talk to you alone?" Kaleb quickly wipes his tears away and takes his son, marveling at his perfect fingers and toes and the soft caramel of his skin.

The baby stares at him with wide eyes, already dark and Kaleb suspects they'll turn brown when he's older. Harry takes Kaleb by the shoulder and leads him to the door. Just before they reach for it, it opens and a very excited looking Severus stops abruptly.

"Er. Potter." he says before seeing his son and the baby.

His look softens and he turns away for a moment, swallowing and allowing Phasma to slip past him. Phasma steps in with Toni in his little carrier.

"Oh... Kaleb... hes beautiful..." Phoebus kisses Rosemary's forehead before taking Hydra's hand and leads him out.

Bella runs her hand over her daughter's hair.

"What is it Rosie?" she asks softly, knowing her daughter must be exhausted.

Rosemary breathes deeply looking at her mother.

"When... i had Cameron... i saw Dumbledore..." Bella freezes.

"Dumbledore?" she asks, a frission of both fear and anger hissing in her heart.

Rosemary nods.

"He tried to attack me... but grandmama saved me." a soft smile moves over her lips. Bella smiles sadly.

"My mother?" Kaleb smiles at his father and his dad, letting Phasma take Cameron just as Lily and James arrive, walking a bit slower than their predecessors.

James offered Harry a wide smile and a hard slap on the back.

"Feeling okay?" he asked and Harry could only nod.

Rosemary nodded.

"She told me to tell you... she always loved you mama... she felt so depressed when granddaddy died that she forgot to love you as much as aunty Cissa and aunty Adromida... she felt guilty that she couldnt love you the way you needed... but she is happy you have 5 beautiful children. Now a grandchild... she says she loves you a lot..." Rosemary felt tears rolling down her cheeks as she spoke.

Bella, too, felt warm tears coursing down her own cheeks and leaned in to give Rosemary a loving hug.

"I think...I always knew mama loved me. I know I loved her." Rosemary hugged her tight as she gently cried herself to sleep.

Phoebus looks over at his mother seeing her cry. He had never seen her cry until she gave birth to little Bastian.

"Mama...?" Bella smiled to Phoebus and wiped her face.

"Yes, baby?" she asked quietly, holding out an arm for a hug.

Phoebus walked over and hugged his mother tight.

"I love you mama..."

"I love you too, sweety." She said, hugging him close.

Lily and James both walk in as Lily smiles at Bastian then look at their grandson. Lily walked over to Bella and gently hugged her.

"Congradulations Bella." Bella nods and wipes her eyes again as Phoebus stays by Rosemary.

Kaleb blinks in shock as Severus pulls him close for a quick hug. After a moment, the Headmaster pulls away again and clears his throat, looking an odd mix of proud and uncomfortable. Kaleb grins at him and Severus can't help but grin back.

"Congratulations, son. He's a fine boy." They both turn to where Phasma is holding Cameron and wander back into the Hospital wing.

Phasma gently brings Toni over while Toni was looking at Cameron with wonder.

"See thats your nephew." Toni reaches out and lightly pats Cameron's cheek.

Cameron scrunches up his face and turns toward the hand, opening his mouth and Kaleb laughs lightly, having read about the nursing instinct that causes a baby to do that. Phasma smiles at Kaleb.

"I think this little boy needs his mama..." He gently hands Cameron back to Kaleb.

Phasma smiles at Severus.

"Toni's a uncle and he doesn even know it." Severus nods and though he doesn't show it, Phasma can easily see that he is well pleased with his growing family.

Kaleb smiles and brings Cameron to Rosemary. Everyone coos at the baby, telling the two how beautiful he is and will be and Kaleb preens under the attention. Rosemary had woken up after the tiny nap by an odd feeling. Only to find Kaleb setting Cameron in her arms. She gently bared her breast for her son who instantly started to suckle. She gently supported his head letting him nurse. She felt a bond form with him that was stronger than the one with KAleb. For awhile the only people in the room were her and Cameron. Kaleb watched, entranced by the almost visible bond between mother and son and wondered if his real mother had ever felt that?

He glanced over to Phasma and Severus and decided not to ask. Harry was talking to his own mother and father about things they discussed every time Harry had been present for a birth- what he'd been like as a child. Severus seemed content to survey and look insufferably proud. In the back of the room, Jacob flipped his warded cell phone shut, his muggle lover happy to hear that Jacob was happy, even if they weren't entirely sure why. Phoebus watches Rosemary with her son and suddenly felt his stomach twist. He wanted that kind of love with a child.

"I'll see you later Rosie..." Rosemary nods smiling.

Phoebus walks towards Hydra.

"Can we talk alone... please?" Hydra swallows and nods, but when they're out of the hospital wing and in an unused classroom, Hydra speaks up first.

"I...I understand if you...if you don't want to do...that." He says, though it hurts to do so.

He doesn't want Phoebus in pain, but he desperately wants a child from the two of them. He can understand, after seeing, however that Pheobus might not want that... Phoebus shakes his head.

"No no what i brought you hear for was that i want babies with you... i want to be able to hold my own child and have the bond that Rosie has with Cameron." Phoebus smiles softly. "I want to start taking the potions after we get married." Hydra stares at Phoebus blankly before his words sink in and he wraps his lover tightly in his arms.

"Merlin, I love you." he says, his relief and happiness evident. Phoebus smiles and wraps his arms around him tight. "I love you too." Hydra grins. "When do you want to get married?" Phoebus giggles.

"Maybe after Graduation?" Hydra nods.

"Okay. When do you want to tell everyone?"

"Tomorrow. Lets let Kaleb and Rosemary have their time." Phoebus holds him tight.

Hydra nods slowly.

"I'm...a little scared of being a father." He admitted. "I don't know if I'll be a good one." Phoebus smiles and pets his hair.

"You will be a fine father. I swear. Come on lets go back." he walks out of the room.

Hydra follows sedately, thoughts of a huge hormonal moody Phoebus somehow making him smile.
