DISCALIMER: Oh, peasant that I am, own nothing of this glorious work of fiction, it is but a fandom of Miss Rowling that I make no money off of.

Hermione knew the moment her child had been taken. It was as if a piece of her had been ripped out. She doubled over, pain ripping through her heart, as she turned and gasped to her companion.
"Now, Severus! Hurry!" She croaked out.
Severus sent out his patronus to the headmistress and the plan was set in motion. He took Hermione's arm, leading her from the book shoppe and out to an alley beside the store. Performing the wand movements quickly, he pulled up a map showing the location of their daughter.
"The tracking spell is still there. We should be able to find her quickly." He told her as she tried to right herself. "I want you to go back to the castle. I need to know that you and the baby are safe." He tried to reason with her.
"Not going to happen. I will not let my child just be taken, Severus. They will pay for this. With blood." The way her voice dropped at those words would have terrified the former Death Eater had they been directed at him. As it was, he was already quite alarmed at her reaction. Of course he understood, but the stress of actually having to follow through with their plan seemed to be too much for the woman. He wasn't entirely sure she could handle it, were she to accompany him to the scene.
"Hermione, I can't. Please don't make me worry for you as well. This is already an impossible task. I know we will get her back, but the idea of someone taking her- Gods. I don't know what I'll do when I get him." He muttered.
"No. I'm going. Trust me when I say, the worry of sitting at the castle and waiting for you to get back with her will be far more detrimental to my health than it will be if I go with you. Besides, this is what I do. It has been my job for the past 5 years, Severus. I know what I'm doing, and being able to do this outside the law, and with magic- well, let's just say I have some ideas on how to handle the man dumb enough to do this to us." She said ominously. He shuddered. He hoped he never had to be on the receiving end of her wand in this state. Or her fist for that matter. She was every inch a lioness, trying to protect her cub and promising a rain of fire and brimstone on anyone in her way.
"Fine. I don't like it, but I understand. You let me breach. I won't have you taking any hexes by entering first." He said with finality.
"Fine." She said, as determination came over her eyes.
They looked back to the map and memorized the location, apparating quickly under a silencing spell. They arrived outside an abandoned looking house. It was more shack than anything. The paint was so badly chipped, it didn't appear to be any discernable color. The front steps were made of crumbling stone. The front porch looked as if it wouldn't support the weight of a small animal, let alone a grown wizard or witch. They made their way to the closest window on the side of the house, casting a disillusionment spell. The coolness of the spell washed over them as Hermione rose to her tiptoes, looking into the kitchen area and seeing a man sitting at a table that had seen better days, sipping tea and watching her child.
They each heaved a sigh of relief at the child appearing completely unharmed. They saw her wander and climb. Hermione felt a tear welling in her eye as her daughter pulled a book down and started to pretend to read. She took in a deep breath and choked down her tears and anger, getting into her 'combat mindset'. She had to focus and forget that this was her own flesh and blood. Objectivity would be the only way to keep a level head in this.
They remained in their hiding spot for some time, before hearing someone arrive at the front of the house. Severus tensed up as he saw someone enter the house through the door, the kidnapper pressed flat to the wall. Neither of them could contain the disbelieving gasp at recognizing the newcomer. Kingsley Shacklebot, Minister of Magic, member of the Order of the Pheonix, Hermione's secret keeper, their friend.
"No. How could he- My Gods Severus." She whispered. Her hardened veneer was cracking slightly, before he grasped her hand and whispered back "Focus, Miss Granger. Stay on the job at hand. Snatch and grab. Got it?" He said somewhat harshly.
"Yes, sir. Are we ready for entry?" It worked, as her eyes shuttered and her expression was once again fierce.
"I'm expecting some company, but they should be here momentarily. We're clear for entry. Cast a protection spell on the baby and we can go." He instructed. She waved her wand and pointed at the baby through the dirty window pane and stepped back. "Ready?"
"Clear." She said back.
BANG!
The blast came at the perfect time, as his company arrived. They made eye contact quickly, before splitting up. Severus and Hermione going to the front door before blowing it from its rusty hinges and entering the domicile and their partners went around to secure the back door.
"Incarcerous!" Snape bellowed. The man with dirty blonde hair was immediately wrapped in thick ropes as he tried to wriggle free, to no avail. Snape turned toward the Minister, his jaw setting into the emotionless mask he usually bore.
"Minister Shacklebot. Interesting seeing you here." He said in a near whisper. The dark skinned man straightened to his full height, attempting to look imposing.
"Severus, you've come just in time-"
"Save it. We know all about your little plan. Tell me, Kingsley, how did you see this playing out?" He growled. The man stood there, his mind working double time. Sure the professor was a master legilimens, but wouldn't he know if his thoughts had been read? How much could this man know? Well, at the very least he knew he had something to do with this kidnapping, but perhaps he didn't realize his full plan to get Hermione for himself. He may be able to talk his way out of it.
"I was merely checking up on one of our former Death Eaters, Severus, when I found the child here. I was about to call in my Aurors to arrest him, when you arrived." He replied smoothly.
"Oh really, Minister? Do you honestly think that load of codswallop is going to work on me? I assure you, it is not. Now tell me the truth, how did you see this working out? Did you really think you could get Hermione to fall for you? What? You were going to play the hero and bring her daughter back to her? Being in a position of power has certainly done wonders for your mental faculties, because you seem to have completely forgotten what you are up against." He spoke in low tones, his voice threatening and harsh. His wand was pointed at the man's chest as he waited for him to speak.
"You never deserved her! And yet, you were all she ever asked about. All those years she was gone, she only ever worried about you! And now here you are, playing house together! Well, where is she right now? Because if I know Hermione like I think I do, she'll despise you for not involving her in something like this. You think you can go back to her a hero, well I don't think she'll see it that way. You are nothing but a bitter old man, not worthy to lick her boots, Snape." He spit out venomously.
"She is right here!" Hermione said, entering the house, wand trained between Kingsley's eyes. "And believe me, Shacklebot, I would never have taken you! My heart had always belonged to Severus. Nothing you could have done would have changed that." She yelled out. The man at wand point gulped audibly as he realized that he was nearly penned in. "How could you, Kingsley? How could you betray me like this? You fowl, contemptible, repugnant excuse of a man!" His eyes scanned the room wildly, looking for a way out. He found it and made a break for it, diving just past Hermione's legs and trying to run for the back door, when he was stopped by a pair of legs. He lifted his head, looking up at the body of his head auror attached to the legs before him and realized that he was out of options.
"Kingsley Shaklebot, you are under arrest for conspiracy, kidnapping and every other thing I can find about you. Oh, and you better believe we're going to question you under verita serum. I suddenly feel as if I know nothing about you. Perhaps a nice long chat will help the process along." Harry Potter slapped the enchanted metal cuffs on his wrists and grabbed his wand. "Boys, take him out of my sight. I want him in the solitary holding cell. And I should mention, bruises would likely be hard to see with his skin color. Just an observation." Harry winked at his subordinates.
"Don't forget him. He's the one who actually kidnaped her." Hermione said, jerking her head in the direction of the dirty blonde on the floor in the corner.
"Gotcha. You heard the lady, get him out of here." Harry ordered. Moments later, several POPS of apparition were heard.
Hermione flew to her child, taking her close to her chest and pressing kisses to her dark curls.
"Gods, Lorelei. Mummy loves you. So much sweet pea." She finally let a few tears fall. Only a few. Severus wrapped his arms around his witches, kissing both heads, before looking at his former student.
"Potter, good timing. Glad you made it before things got out of hand." He said.
"Of course. I'm only glad you all are safe. I have to admit, I never saw this coming. Kingsley always seemed so... good. Really makes you think you can't trust anyone." He shook his head, glancing at the place the man had been on the floor. "I'm glad I was here, It'll be much easier to convict with both our names on it."
"Right." The Potions Master said simply.
"Do me a favor, Professor. Get these ladies back to the castle. We don't need any more excitement for them, now do we?" He said with a wink, before patting his friends stomach. "Oh, and congratulations." He said to Hermione's shocked face.
"How do you know?" She asked incredulously.
"I told him. It was important for him to know. I just didn't want anything to happen to you." Snape said to his fiance.
"Well thank you both. I believe Lorelei and I have had enough for today. Please take us home love." She said, turning her tearful face up to his.
"Of course. Potter, let us know if we can be of service to you." He said with a nod.
"I will. Get them home safely. Gin and I will have to come for a visit soon. I'm sure it'll be nice to talk to someone new about baby things. She's exhausted all the others already." Harry said off hand.
"Harry, is she-"
"Yup. Baby number 2. And we couldn't be happier." He said with a contented smile on his face.
"Then we shall have a toast and a cigar while the ladies talk. Congratulations, Mr. Potter." Harry accepted a handshake from his former enemy and smiled up at him.
"Thanks. I'll see you both soon." And with that, he left for the Ministry. There would be paperwork to fill out.
"Let's get out of here. I'd like to get my two favorite witches to bed. You both need a rest." Severus said, pressing a kiss to Hermione's temple and pulling them closer.
"It's all finally over. Let's go home, love." Hermione sighed before they apparated away.

A/N
Ok, so at least there wasn't a wait for the chapter, right? Do you hate me for that last one? Sorry. It had to be done. Probably only a couple chapters left guys. I'm a little sad to see it ending, but their lives must move on. And remember, you always have the epilogue to look forward to. Anyone hoping for something specific? How did I do for my first fic?
Please review!!
