Hermione smiled at her friend, "Alright, thanks for bringing the boys Ginny," she looked at her mother in-law, "The boys are able tostay the weekend with you, since they don't have classes, we talked to Albus ahead of time incase I went into labor."

Scarlet said her goodbyes, as she followed the others out of the room.

"Three children," Severus smiled at his daughter, then at his wife, "I love you, hermione."

Hermione smiled at her husband, "I love you too."

CHAPTER NINE

FIVE MONTHS LATER

Alex was sitting on the couch, holding his sister, he smiled at his mother, "She is way smaller then Uncle Oliver, and he's five months just like her."

"Well that's because she was born earlier then she should had been," Hermione took a seat next to her son, and smiled at her children, "You're father, and brother should be back soon, and then we will go shopping for Preston's gift," she smiled as her daughter kept her eyes focused on her big brother, "Who's got you little one?"

Alex placed a kiss on his sisters tiny cheek, and smiled at his mom, "Can we get Jewel a present to, so she won't get jealous?"

"It's your birthday, and I am sure she won't be jealous of your gift recieving," Hermione took Jewel from her big brothers arms, causing the little girl to fuss a little, she looked at her son, "Well then, would you help me lay your sister down?"

Alex was grinning, as his mom handed his sister back to him, he looked at his mom seriously, "It's okay mom, she just needs to get use to you."

"Oh really," Hermione tried not to laugh at her sons seriousness, "I would had hope all those midnight feeding, those diaper changing, and everything would help make her know me fairley well."

"Well those are good things to earn her trust mother, but there are lot's more things," Alex laid his sister in the baskenette at the edge of his mothers room.

"Alex, she loves me to, you use to cry too when grandma would remove you from my arms," Hermione kissed her sons crown, before leading him out of the bedroom, "Since when did you get to know so much about babies?"

"I read about it in the book grandma gave you, 'WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN RAISING A INFANT', saw it at your desk one day, and read it," Alex answered proudly.

"Same thirst for knowledge as your mother I see," Severus appeared with Preston, in the living room, "Preston told me some interesting gifts he would like for his birthday dear."

"Really," Hermione took a seat on the couch, as both her boys sat on either side of her, she looked at her husband, "Such as?"

"Purple baby dress robe, a silver rattle, pink quilt that say's 'Jewel', and my all time favorate, a stroller," Severus tried not to laugh.

"Alex wanted to buy Jewel gifts too," Hermione looked at Alex, and smiled

"Well I don't want her to be jealous," Preston looked at his mother.

":That's what I said," Alex agreed, he looked at his dad, "Did you buy the things that Preston asked for?"

Hermione noticed her husband sudden;y avoiding her eyes, she rolled her eyes, "Severus, you baught Jewel what her brother told you to buy her?" She walked to the fireplace, and flooed for Ron, "Ron are you there?"

Ron's face appeare in her fireplace, "Mione, yes I am here."

"Can you do me a favor?" Hermione noticed that her friend was eating something, as usual, "Can you come keep an eye on Preston, and Alex, while Severus, and I go birthday shopping. Apparently they talked my husband into buying gifts for Jewel, and not for themselves."

Alex hurried to his mother, and looked down at Ron, "Bring Luna."

Severus rolled his eyes, at Alex's crush, on Mrs. Luna Weasley, he exchanged looks with his wife, "Pathedic, isn't it?"

Alex glared at his father, which probably would had worked better, if his cheeks didn't show a slight blush, "Dad!" He went back, and sat beside his laughing brother, smacking his arm, "Shut up, I know you like Lillian."

Severus gave his other son a questioning look, "Really, does Ginny know?"

Preston smack his brother, and looked at hid dad, "Well at least Lillian is closer to my age, inlike Luna who is old like mom."

"Old?" Hermione turned her attention to her son.

Ron wasn heard laughing inthe flames, obviously had been forgotten about, he cleared his throat when Hermione glared at him, "Luna, and I will be there."

"Thanks Ron," Hermione went into the bedroom, and gathered her daughters things, "We're bringing Jewel with us, one less child for Ron, and Luna to worry about."

"Who are you talking to," Luna leaned in the doorway, and smiled, "I will watch her, it will be good practice, for when our baby comes," she walked over to where Hermione was standing, with a surprised look on her face, she smiled, "I found out I was expecting a little one of my own last night."

Hermione wrapped her ams around the blonde, "You two certainly didn't waste any time, married six months, and already pregnant," she looked at her baby, then back at Luna, "I guess you could watch her, Ron could keep an eye on the twins."

"Thanks, Mione," Luna walked back out into the living room to where her husband was talking to Severus, and noticed Alex staring at her, "Well how are you Alex?"

"No thank you," Alex said with a blush, and then hurried into his room.

Luna, and Hermione giggled, "I love your boys."

Preston smirked, as he followed his brother into the room, "Have fun mom, dad."

After the Snapes finally left there quarters, they walked to the lake, and apperated to Diagon Alley.

Hermione smiled at her husband, "I know the boys will like to have a broom, for there birthdays, they will be surprised," she wrapped her arm around her husbands waist, when she felt his arm around her shoulders, "This is nice isn't it?"

Severus looked at his wife, "What's nice?"

"Spending time with just the two of us, alone," Hermion stopped and stood in front of her husband, and pulled his face down for a kiss, "We haven't been completely alone for a while."

Severus looked around, spotting the Leaky caudrom, he smirked at his wife, "How about we take advantage of the situation?" He started leading his wife towards the building.

She pulled out of his reach, "I am not hungry, I ate lunch with Alex, and I thought you were going to feed your other son while out."

He pulled her back into his arms, and smiled, "I wasn't talking about eating, they have rooms where we could spend some time alone," he started again leading his wife into the building, to the desk.

A short man, with a vest came up to the couple, "Would you like something to eat, or would you be spending the night?"

"I will like to check a room out for a couple of hours," Severus looked down at his wife, "If that is what you would want dear."

Hermione's cheeks turned red, realizing what her husband had in mind, she just nodded, not knowing how her voice would sound.

Severus smiled down at his wife, then looked at the man, who handed him a key with a knowingly smile on his face, "Thank you."

Fifteen minuted later Hermione was sitting on the bed, watching as her husband summoned up a radio, and tried to find a station.

She stripped down to just her knickers, and bra, then laid down on the bed, she looked at her husband, who was still playing with the dials of the radio, "Merlin, Severus, you didn't rent this room, just to listen to some damn radio that we don't really need, did you?" She threw her head down on the pillow.

He waved his wand, causing the radio to dissapear, "No I didn't, just thought music would be nice, and set the mood for-" he was taken off guard, when he turned and found his wife in barely anything, "Hermione." He removed his clothes, all except his black silk boxers, then crawled next to his wife. He leaned down, and kissed his wife, as his hands roamed the rest of her body, "You're beautiful, you know that," he moaned when he felt her hands slide inside his boxers, and start to stroke his member, "Merlin woman, you make me crazy."

She smiled at her husband, as she pulled down his boxers, "Just for you," she arched her back, so her husband was able to remove her knickers, "Only for you, always," she finished removing her bra, when she felt her husbamd unfasten it in the back, then lowered his head down, trapping a nipple between his teeth, "SEVERUS!"

He grinned as he started kissing her again, going back to meet her lips with his, as he positioned himself inside of his wife, "You liked that?"

"You know I always do," She held his shoulders, as he started moving a little more quickly inside her, "I'm about to come."

He lowered and locked her lips with his, and smiled, "Me too."

After they both came, they lied in eachothers arms, staring into one anothers eyes, "It's been a long time since we made love," Hermione leaned in, and kissed her husband.

"Yes it seems that way, doesn't it?" Severus pulled her in closer to him.

After the couple left the Leakey Caudron. and finished birthday shopping for the twins.

"Let's go to the mall, by your moms house, where that toy store was," Severus wrapped his arm around his wife, "I want to get them some more legos."

She raised a brow to her husband, "For them, or for you?"

He looked down at his wife, "For them to share."

"Why do I have a feeling this is going to be one of those gifts, which you will give to them right when we walk through the door, making them think it was for good behavior, which you and I know better then that, with the whole tail incidents," Hermione patted her husbands bottom, "I thought Ginny would burst with laughter, when you walked into the imfermery with a rat tail."

Severus rolled his eyes, "Oh yes, and you just had to take a picture."

"It was a photo-opportunity, which I knew I couldn't pass up, after always telling you never turn your back to our boys after punishing them," Hermione wrapped her arms around her husbands neck, and smiled, "You know what?"

"What?" He asked his wife, as she stared at him.

"I have not found a day go by, which I am bored, you definiately bring excitement into my life," She pulled her husband into a kiss, "By the way, the boys told me no more toys for them, they are getting to old, and have enough as it is."

"Fine then, let's go home," Severus leaned down, and kissed his wife.

She grinned, "Let's go back to the Leaky Cauldron," she lead her husband back to the bulding they had been earlier.

Severus just smiled.
