No One Comes When You Cry

Chapter 40 Directly Beneath My Hand

�Severus, Severus wake up boy.�
�Hmm? What?� He drawled, more asleep then awake. Then his brain kicked in and he shot up in the bed, kicking the covers of and looking around him wildly. Then he looked on the bed and stilled.
�Is �is she ��
�Look at her Severus, look at her colour, her breathing.�
Sky was still very pale, but her lips had a faint rosy tinge to them. Her face was gaunt, dark shadows under her eyes beneath pale golden lashes. He took one of her hands in his and stared at it. Her nails too had a faint pink tinge to them. He watched her chest rise and fall steadily, her breathing no longer laboured.
As he looked at her, all Severus could do was let out a loud �Uuh� of breath. He let out another and another as he stared at his wife, his wife who was breathing, his wife who had colour in her lips and fingers, his wife who was still alive. He was close to hyperventilating as he struggled to breathe because his wife, his love, his Sky, was still alive.

He pointed at her, his jaw almost on his chest as he turned his eyes to Sal. �Erng.� Was all he managed. It was impossible for him to enunciate a single word at that moment as his eyes flitted from Sky to Sal and back to Sky, not daring to believe what he could see with his own two eyes.
�You did it Severus. You did it.�
�I did it.� He whispered. �I did it.� He repeated a bit louder. �I DID IT.� He shouted, his euphoria at knowing Sky would live, surpassing his awareness of what he was doing.
�Wh �why isn�t she awake? Has she woken? When will she wake? Sal, why is she still asleep?�
�Give her time Severus, she still needs to heal. Look at her wound, see how it is doing.�
Severus held his breath and carefully pulled back the sheet. He wanted nothing more then to take her in his arms and hold on tight but he was afraid he would hurt her. The angry red, puckered scar was now pale pink. The swelling was down considerably. It did not look nearly so painful.
�Take her wand Severus. Hold it above her and run it along the scar, it will show if she is healing as well on the inside as she is on the outside.�
Severus did as Sal said, running the wand slowly up and down, watching as the tip glowed first dark then lightening as it passed over her still form. The stone at her throat shone likewise and merged with the wand light to cover her in a soft pale light. In places, it shone a deep red, others a less angry red, mainly over her damaged organs. In others, it maintained a steady glow of soft pastels, greens and pinks, yellows and blue.
Sal smiled. �Did you see the colours, Severus?�

�Yes, what did they mean?� He pulled the sheet back up.
�The reds are where the worst of her injuries were. They are slow to heal, but heal they will. The greens and pinks, they are the places she is almost fully healed.�
�And the yellow. �That is the life essence you gave her Severus. Something you will both share forever.�
�And the blue?�
�Are you blind man? Look again.�
Severus looked at Sal confused then looked at Sky. �What?�
�Pull back the sheet Severus. See what she has been hiding from you. See what she doesn�t even know herself.�
Pulling back the sheet, he stared at her, his eyes scanning her torso, her arm, legs her belly. �Her belly. Her belly. The dream. Fat. Hide.� He looked closer. Sure enough her stomach was swollen. Not massively so, but enough that he could see a definite swell, and her waist had thickened.
�Sal? Is she �?�
�Yes. She has been coming in here every day for the last couple of weeks, heading down to the charms lab and using spells to hide what she thought was fat. She is a woman Severus, it is in their nature to want to look slim for their men. Because she could not get rid of the supposed fat, she used magic to hide it from you. She never told us what she was doing, but Shannon did.�
�So I was not imagining things, the dream was true.�

�I don�t know about dreams Severus, but you are going to be a father. Daddy Severus.� Sal chuckled as he spoke these last words.
But Severus didn�t hear them as he hit the floor with a thump. Hard as nails Deatheater Severus Snape had fainted. When he opened his eyes, it was to find the four Founders laughing their heads off at him out cold on the floor.
He scowled. �What is so funny. I was looking for something I dropped.� he told them.
This made them laugh even harder, he got to his feet and brushed himself down. It was the first time in his life he ever fainted and he was not pleased about it.
�I do not see why you find it so funny.� He groused.
�No �ha ha� you wouldn�t would you �ha ha� Daddy Severus.�

They all went into hysterics at the sight of the Potions Master�s face growing paler.
�Shit. I am going to be a daddy.� �Merlin�s balls.� He gripped the rail at the end of the bed to steady himself as he looked at Sky, trying to take in that she was carrying his child. �Dear Gods.� �His baby.�
�Bloody hell. And you say she does not even know?�
�Nope, not according to Shannon. She thought she was getting fat. She was given sex education by Rowena here, but they never did get around to the results. Did you Rowena?�
�Well, there was no need at the time. I would not have needed to tell her anything if Godric was not such a coward.�
�I am not a coward. Anyway, I would not have been asked such a personal question if Severus here did not spend so much time shaking hands with himself.�
Severus gave them a puzzled look, but they all snapped their mouths shut. He decided to ignore them and went to sit back on the bed and hold Sky�s hand. He could not however, prevent his eyes from roaming back to her stomach and wondering when this happened. In all honesty, it could have been any time. Contraception was the last thing on his mind whenever he fucked her, and it was too late to do anything about it now. Would he have wanted to if he�d known sooner. The fact that his child survived through this was a miracle in itself. This child, his child, was a fighter, a survivor.
�Is it possible to tell if it�s a boy or a girl yet? Or is it too soon?�
Rowena chuckled. �You saw blue did you not?�
�Yes but ��
�Blue for a boy Severus, pink for a girl.�
�A son? I am ha �we are having a son? How do I know it �he, will be alright. After what Sky has just been through, any amount of damage could have been done to him.�
�Her wand would have alerted us if that were so. Her uterus was not affected when she was attacked by the beast.�
�The Re'em. Hagrid.� Severus� face darkened. He was going to kill that fucking Re'em, then he was going to kill Hagrid for even letting her near it. �What the hell was he doing with a Re'em? No one has a Re'em. Well no sane person at any rate. The only useful thing about them was the blood. The blood, he and Sky had drunk Re'em blood. Did that mean that his child had Re'em blood in it�s system too?�
Severus never paid much attention when reproduction was discussed at school. He already knew what to do with his tool, and all he was interested in was getting laid without getting the witch pregnant. What happened to a witch when she was expecting was of no concern to him. He never planned on having children, ever. His own childhood had been shit. He�d taken the Dark Mark and now spied for the Order. The last thing he needed was ankle biters. Even as things changed over the years, Severus had never thought to settle down, have a family. It just was not in his itinerary. And now it was. Dammit. They were due to see the Dark Lord this weekend. He could not let her go there, pregnant with his child. Not that she would be well enough to go anyway.
�Sal what day is this?�
�Wednesday why?�

�Because I have an appointment on Sunday that I most likely will not return from.�
�Ah, with Tom I presume. Weren�t both of you meant to go?�
�I cannot allow my wife to meet him in her condition. Besides, she will not be well enough.�
�She is stronger then you think Severus. Both of you are now.�

�The Re'em blood?�
�Yes. Let her decide when the time comes.�

�I will do no such thing. She is carrying my child, my son. I may die at the Dark Lord�s hand but my wife and child will not.�
�Your child is well protected Severus.�
�That is as may be. But can he survive the avada? Can either of them survive it?�
No but ��
�Then she stays here. That is my final word Salazar. Now, what can I do to help my wife recover more quickly?�
�There is a potion in the living room. Shannon herself prepared it. One tablespoon twice a day, and feed yourself. You look scrawny.�
Severus scowled at him but his stomach started to rumble at the mention of food so he stalked off to the kitchen to eat.�
Feeling much better and more able to think now his belly was full Severus returned to the bedroom.
�Salazar. I need to be able to gain access to Hogwarts. I also need to be able to get back here. Is there anyway that is possible?�
�Severus it has been possible since the day you two were married. Have you not tried?�
�Of course I have not tried, I had no reason to think that I could, and Sky said nothing.�
�Because she does not know.�
�So I can go back and forth as I please, just as Sky does?�
�Only to your own rooms and back here. You do not have the ability to travel the doors as she does, unless you are with her of course.�
�I don�t care about that, just so long as I can get to Hogwarts and back again. When is the first dose of potion due?�
�Not until this evening. Shannon gave her the first dose while you were sleeping.�
�I do not remember falling asleep.�
�No, well you can thank Shannon for that too.�
�Hmm. I need to see Albus. Let him know what is happening.�
�We shall watch her. If she wakes I shall summon the little elf, she will find you.�
Severus nodded, went to the bedroom to check on Sky, then left to enter his study. Looking round the room, he briefly wondered about the surprise Sky told him was hidden on her desk drawer, but decided it was not important at the moment. He took a shower and donned clean clothes, opened the door and strode down the dungeon corridor and into the main hall. Noise came from the Great Hall so he headed there.
Pushing the doors wide he stalked down the centre towards the head table, he was not wearing his outer robes, so they did not billow out behind him as usual. However, the room went silent as soon as he entered, every student standing, bowing their head in a mark of respect.

The Professors also stood and watched as he approached, a neutral expression on his face.
�Severus.� Albus greeted him as the Potions Master headed round the table and sat next to him. �How are you coping?�
�I am coping very well Albus. Thank you for asking.�
�And the arrangements? Do you wish me to ��

�What arrangements, Albus?�
�Why for the funeral, I know it cannot be easy for you.�
�There is to be no funeral Albus, my wife and child are doing just fine thank you very much.�
�Oh that is go �your what?�
�Sky, she is recovering nicely. Also my son is still tucked up safely inside his mother�s womb.�
Albus Dumbledore was struck speechless. He flumped into his chair, his mouth open and tears in his eyes.
�Oh Severus, that is wonderful news.� Minerva sobbed as she moved passed Albus and hugged the Professor.
�Thank you Minerva. Now would you mind not drenching my coat any more then you already have, it is a clean one.�
�Oh you.� She sobbed and batted him affectionately on the arm.
�Would you mind if I made an announcement, Severus. We all believed that Sky had passed on. Many have been grieving her loss and wished to give you their condolences.�
�Go ahead Albus, it is better that they know.�
Albus stood and all eyes turned to him.
�I have some wonderful news. Mrs. Snape is still with us, apparently she is doing well, even as I speak. Also, Professor and Mrs. Snape are expecting their first child. Congratulations Professor.�
Albus turned to Severus and put his hands together. Soon everyone in the hall was smiling and clapping at the doubly good news as Severus sat and glared at them all, but inside, inside he was dancing with glee as he struggled to hide his true emotions. No matter how much Albus and Minerva tried to persuade him, he refused to stand and acknowledge the good will being sent his way. It would not do for the students to think he had gone soft. However his glare was not nearly so fierce as usual and the students could see this.
�I take it she is still �elsewhere at this moment.�
�She is Albus. Sal is watching over her at the moment. He will alert me when she is awake.�
Albus leaned closer so he would not be overheard. �How will you get back to her?�
�I have been granted access to and from my study.�
�Have you any idea how long she will be there?�
�No, though I do not imagine it will be too long before we return.�

�And the baby, when is it due?�

�I have no idea, I did not even know about it until this morning. Sky does not even know herself as yet.�
�Oh my. She is in for something of a shock then. We had the Ministry in yesterday. They tried to accuse you of kidnapping your own wife.�

�You are kidding me.�

�Not at all Severus, the Minister himself came. Seemed to think I was hiding you both in the castle somewhere. Of course I told him otherwise.� The old man�s eyes twinkled brightly.
�Of course, it is not as if you lied to him. I am returning now Albus, I shall keep you informed as to her progress.�
With a nod, Severus stood and left the hall. Back in his rooms he went into the bedroom and took out some clean nightwear for Sky, an extra set of clothing for himself ,and opened the door to the wall. There were already plenty of toiletries in the wall bathroom so he did not need to take more.

On entering the wall bedroom he found his wife already washed and in a clean nightgown, lying in fresh sheets and looking peaceful and slightly healthier. He was surprised however when he opened the wardrobe to find clothing for both of them already inside.
�Who did this?� He asked.
�Effy is doing it Sir. The great Salazar Slytherin is asking for Effy and Effy is come to help look after the miss. Is you minding Sir?�
�Not at all Effy. I am sure she will be pleased to see you when she wakes.�
The elf beamed at him and popped out. Sitting on the side of bed Severus pulled down the covers and pulled up her nightgown so he could see how her wound was doing. He was sure it was improved from this morning. He looked at the swelling of her stomach and felt the corners of his mouth lift slightly. Letting go of the sheet, he carefully placed a hand on the small lump at her midsection.

�My child is in there, my son, directly beneath my hand.� he thought wondrously.
Leaning sideways, he lay his head on Sky�s stomach.

�How big are you?� He whispered. �Who will you take after? You better not have my nose, although I do have certain endowments that I hope I will pass on to you. I will probably never find out, never get the chance to know you. But I shall always love you son, you and your mummy.�
�Who are you talking to?�
Severus shot up when he heard the weak croaky voice. He was afraid to turn in case he was mistaken.
�Severus please, need drink. What happened?�
He turned his head slowly to meet his wife�s beautiful tired blue eyes.
�You�re awake.� He scuttled up the bed and made to take hold of her, stopped and laid beside her, he kissed her cheeks, her nose, her arm, everywhere he could reach without actually putting any pressure on her.
�Drink � please.�
�Yes, a drink. I�ll get you a drink.� He said, climbing off the bed and still planting kisses on her, stretching himself to reach her as he moved. �Drink.� He kissed her again. �Now.� Another kiss. Drawing her hand with him and kissing it. �I am going.� Kiss. �Drink.�
Her eyes drooped shut, too tired to wonder why he was acting so strangely. She was thirsty and she hurt. �Why did she hurt? Were they in the wall?�
Severus returned in seconds with a pitcher of ice cold water and a glass. He half filled the glass and made to pass it to her, changed his mind and put in on the side cabinet then climbed back onto the bed.

Carefully slipping an arm behind her shoulders, he lifted her slightly and she let out a cry. Severus stilled his movements, waited, then lifted her a little more. She scrunched up her face but did not make any more noise.

Severus reached for the glass and brought it to her lips.
�Only take a sip.� He told her. �Just to wet your mouth.�
But Sky had a raging thirst and tried to grab the glass, he only just managed to move it away in time.
�Sky please, just a sip, no more than a sip.�
She sipped and asked for more. He gave her a bit more but she still asked for more.
�In a little while. I promise.�
�Why? Why can�t I have more now?�
�You have been, you are very ill. Now try and sleep some more, I will stay here.�
He laid her down and she drifted off immediately. He was elated that she had wakened. Realising that she was still uncovered he pulled her nighty down and the sheet up, leaned back against the head board with his hands behind his head, and smiled.
