Epilogue

To most, it was just another day. Another morning in May. Just one more Sunday. One last day before the work week started, or classes returned. But to this man, it was such an important day. He made for certain that all the children were up, washed, dressed and ready for the day. He made sure they were quiet so as not to wake their mother on her special day, as they began cooking her breakfast in bed, with their father's help or course.
"Lorelei, help your sisters with the eggs, please. Satira, Seraphima do as she says. We don't want to make a mess, now do we?" He said from across the kitchen, as he helped Silas put the finishing touches on their gifts.
If someone had told Severus Snape, big bad potions master and greasy git extraordinaire, that he would take to family life like a hippogriff to the air, he would have immediately sent them to St Mungo's. But it seemed like that had been a completely separate life from the one he was living now. He was a happily married father of 5 who couldn't wait for summer break from term. In that sense, he hadn't changed, except that now, he looked so forward to spending the time with his family. Last summer had been spent at Hainan Island in China. The twins had loved the volcano park and monkeys everywhere, while Sabine and Silas had thoroughly enjoyed the Buddhist temple. Lorelei had loved the beaches. And their parents had found nothing could ruin the enjoyment of having their family together. This year's destination would be Sanliurfa in Turkey, and he could hardly wait.
Severus could hardly believe that the life he was living was his own. So much of it was the same, the same classes to teach, the same teachers meetings to attend, the same balls to chaperone, the same dunderhead students. However now, 2 of his own his own children were among them. Lorelei was finishing up her 4th year at 15 years old, Silas was nearly complete with his 2nd year at 13. Sabine would be starting after next year, she had just turned 9 and the twins Seraphima and Satira we're a ways off still at just 4 years old.
Needless to say, his life was loud, busy, hectic and overwhelming. But he wouldn't have it any other way. Coming home to his family at night seemed to be one of his greatest accomplishments, easily trumping his Order of Merlin First Class. His life was perfection in his opinion.
Thankfully, his eldest, Lorelei was a very level headed witch with little time for boys. She was so much like her mother. A Gryffindor princess all her own, with top grades and her nose constantly in a book. Silas had taken after him, a Slytherin through and through, with some Gryffindor tendencies when it came to his family. Sabine was a good mix of her parents, enjoying books and learning and having fun with friends, but also very adept at potions and finding much enjoyment in solitude. Her house would remain a mystery until her sorting day. The twins seamed to be very Slytherin, constantly starting trouble for fun and never revealing sources. But Molly Weasley was never shy of mentioning how much like Fred and George they were. Only time would tell where they were concerned.
He had been ecstatically happy the day his wife had told him she was expecting Sabine. He would have been happy to stop at 2 children, but for some reason, the thought of more proof of their love for each other in the world was oddly satisfying. They had both decided to stop after her. Three was enough, thank you very much. Three was full of screaming, and crying and mess and sticky hands and fighting. Then he was shocked when she had told him she was expecting again. After he had breathed for a moment, he was excited once again. Until Poppy had told them it would be not one, but two new babies. He had fainted dead away, and awoken several minutes later thinking it was a dream, until his wife had showed him the moving sonogram picture of their twins, swimming away.
But he could not possibly imagine being any happier than he was with his life right now. Yes, it was loud. Yes, it was incredibly busy. Yes, it was hectic, especially when he and his wife were working on some new research or a new potion or spell of some kind. But most of all, his life was full to bursting with love and affection. And he owed it all to the woman now sleeping late, as she so rarely got to do, in their bed, in their room, in their house. Their life together had been nothing short of utopian.
As the children finished making their mother a breakfast of raspberry French toast, scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon with coffee, and he and Silas had finished wrapping her gifts, they piled everything on a tray and entered the room on near silent feet, at least as silent as two 4 year olds can be, only to find their mother sitting up in bed reading the latest charms magazine.
"Good morning, my loves." She greeted them, putting the magazine to the side.
"Aww, dad! It's ruined! She was supposed to be sleeping still!" Sabine whined.
"It's not ruined, Bina. I promise." Severus said, dropping a kiss to the top of her head before he leaned down to place the tray over Hermione's lap.
"But how can we make sure she gets to sleep in, if she's already awake!"
"Bina, I only woke up moments ago. I swear it. I thought I would stay in bed so you're breakfast wouldn't be a waste. Come here, love." Hermione told her daughter, patting the spot on the bed next to her. Sabine climbed up and snuggled in to her mother's side, placing a good morning kiss to her cheek.
"Happy mother's day, mum. I love you." She said, no longer moody. Ah the joys of raising girls, Severus thought to himself, as he lifted both of the twins to join their sister on the king sized four poster.
"Thank you. I love you too, Bina." She said, kissing her daughter's temple. She held her arms open for the twins, who each placed smacking kisses to either cheek.
"Morning mummy. Happy mummy's day." They said in unison.
"Thank you, Phima. Thank you, Tira."
"Well, eat up before it gets cold, mum. Happy mother's day." Lorelei said, kissing her mother's cheek and stepping back to give her brother space to greet her.
"This looks delicious, Lore. Thank you." She said taking a bite of her eggs, and groaning. "Oh, absolutely fantastic! Who made these eggs?" She asked, looking curiously at the twins, knowing that scrambling eggs was about all they could handle in the kitchen.
"We did, mummy! We did!" They parroted each other. "But we did have a little help from Lorelei." Saraphima added.
"Well, they are magnificent, girls." She said, sipping her coffee. She made quick work of the breakfast, being sure to eat every bite so that no one would feel left out, before turning to her son.
"Well? No good morning kiss? Silas, get your bum over here." She said in mock consternation.
"Aw, mum. I was just waiting. Here. Happy mother's day." He said in a voice already much like his father's, handing her their gifts and kissing her cheek.
"Thank you, love. What do we have here?" She said, tearing off the paper and bow to reveal the package beneath. Opening the box, she found a beautiful set of picture frames, a spot of each child on the day they were born, surrounding a picture of her and Severus on their wedding day. Each picture had one more person in it than the last. Lorelei's was just her mother holding her with tears on her face, Silas' had Hermione, Severus and Lorelei, Sabine's had her parents and older siblings, and the twins had everyone. It was a perfect gift. It was real. It showed how much their family had grown and changed, and yet in each picture Hermione noticed that her husband had the same expression on his face, and it was always one of complete adoration. In each picture, Severus was looking at his wife with that same gaze of surprise and appreciation.
"Alright, love?" Severus asked from his place at the foot of the bed, his eyes concerned.
"Could not possibly be better." She whispered tearfully, giving him a brilliant smile as she clutched the frame to her chest. He shared her smile, before turning to his children.
"Right, then. Off with you hellions. Grandma Minnie is waiting for you all, and I certainly don't want to see her angry at us for keeping her! Let's go." He said in a very authoritative voice. Once the children had left the room, he turned to his wife and leaned in for a proper greeting. After being married for 13 years, he still thought her a goddess. He fell more in love with her every day.
"Good morning, love. Happy mother's day." He said softly against her lips as he trailed a hand through her soft curls.
"Thank you, Severus."
"Be honest, you've been up for hours haven't you?" He asked with a smirk.
"Of course I have. You know I can't sleep without you. The moment you're out of bed, I wake up. Besides, I haven't slept passed 9 since before they were born." She told him with a smile. He chuckled before placing a kiss on the tip of her nose.
"I'll be back soon. Just taking them through the floo, and I will be back and have you all to myself." He told her, his eyebrow raised as he added, "Be sure that you're... Ready for me, Hermione. I don't like to be kept... waiting." He instructed, his voice like liquid silk, sending a tremor down her spine.
"Of course, not. But if I still happen to be in the bath, you know you're more than welcome to join me." She told him with an eyebrow raise of her own, before walking towards their master bathroom, dropping her silk nightgown on the way and glancing at him over her shoulder.
"Dad, come on. Let's go!" Lorelei yelled from downstairs.
"Hurry back." Hermione said simply.
"Oh Gods, yes." He said to her retreating form. "And to think, this all started with nothing but a kiss."
