DISCLAIMER:
*sings in nasally voice a la Aqua* I'm a fan girl, in JK Rowling's wooorld. Writing stories, not making money... (I know it doesn't really rhyme, but can you do any better?)

"Your daughter... You have a daughter."
"Yes, I have a daughter. And I swear her eyes... When I look into her eyes I swear I can see the light of the Sun. Her eyes, that are so much like yours. When I look at her I see so much of you; I'm not entirely sure how that's possible. But when I see her I don't see him, I don't hear him, I can't feel him. All I feel is happiness. It's miraculous how an act so vile, that broke me so utterly and completely could give me the greatest gift and blessing I could have ever asked for." There was such love in her eyes as she gazed off into the distance.
"I'd like to meet her... Sometime. If she looks anything like you, and acts anything like you, then I don't see how I could stop myself from falling in love with her immediately. Tell me about her."
"Every morning when she wakes up, and I need a little more sleep, I turn on the music that plays through her monitor. She lays there and listens to it and plays with her bears and gives mummy some much-needed rest. And when I walk into her bedroom, she looks at me like I'm the most important person in the entire universe. She looks at me like the sun rises and sets with me. She jumps up and down and dances in her crib and puts her arms up waiting for me to lift her out and hold her and tell her 'good morning, gorgeous' like I do everyday. She loves breakfast. She'll eat almost anything as long as it's yours. She's quite a sassy little lady with an attitude all her own. And after breakfast, while mummy is having her tea, she sits and watches her favorite movie and plays with her toys and pulls on the dog's tail. She picks up books and brings them to me to read to her. She's only one year old and already she eats solid food walks around and runs. She climbs stairs and catches bugs, she says mummy and daddy even though she has no idea who her father is or if she even has one. When she's full she says I'm done. She loves bath time and splashing in the water and playing with her toys in the tub. And when it's time for bed, and I'm rocking her to sleep, she looks up at her mummy like she's so glad that I'm here."
Hermione had a wistful, happy smile on her face as her eyes watered and she let the tears roll down. Severus held her hand and gave her his rapt attention as she told him about the amazing creature that had come from one of the most horrible moments he could have ever imagined for her.
"When she's sick, or hurt, or scared, she comes to her mummy and puts her face in my neck and holds me close and gives me kisses."
She took a deep shuttering breath and smiled radiantly up at him.
"In short, she is amazing. She is fantastic. She is a blessing in disguise. She is without words, impeccable. I'd like you to meet her. But Severus, just know that once you do, you can never leave. I want you to be very certain about this. I'll not introduce anyone to her that won't be a permanent fixture in her life."
"What is the angel's name?"
"Lorelei. Lorelei Ashlynn Granger."
As Snape listened to Hermione describe the amazing gift she had been given from Merlin himself, he lazily ran his thumb along her knuckles in a calming, soothing gesture. He could not wait to meet this incredible little person that seemed to have saved the love of his life from one of life's biggest cruelties.

"Bravo 124, dispatch" the radio crackled to life.
"Send it for 124" Hermione answered in a somewhat vulgar American accent.
"I need you to respond to..."
"Well it looks like I have some work to do. How the bloody hell did you apparate into my car anyway?" She said as she drove away with them both now firmly buckled into the front seat.
"It was really quite simple actually. I just focused on you. I knew the general area you would be in and it took me straight to you." Snape answered, as he watched out the windows.
"Quite impressive professor. Quite impressive indeed."
"Cheeky, little..." Severus muttered affectionately.
They went through the last few hours of her shift talking about random nonsense that neither would really remember later. The weather suddenly seemed like such a good topic of conversation. Neither was anxious to break the spell of easy listening.
"Well, Severus, my shift is about over. There are some things that need to be discussed. First off, you can't sit in this car once I get back onto the base. There's a spell on the 'blue-line' that basically acts as a finite incatatum so any cloaking spells would dissolve. You also can't apparate on of off the base. What would you like to do?" She eyed him warily from the corner of her eye, as she steered the car back towards her headquarters.
"I suppose you could leave be here. I don't mind wandering around a bit. Or I could just make my way to a hotel, if you could direct me to one nearby..." He was praying that wouldn't be her answer. 5 years had been enough. He wasn't particularly anxious to leave her side any time soon.
"Well, if that's what you would prefer, I could. But I was rather hoping you would like to come home with me. That is, if you decided you wanted to stay, to be a more permanent fixture..." She led off, bringing back to mind their previous conversation. Severus summoned all the nerve he had.
"Hermione, why would I be here, if not to bring you back, and keep you by my side? If I wasn't looking to be permanent, I would have just sent Albus, Minerva, or the Boy Wonder." He said somewhat sarcastically. In a rare moment of supremely un-slytherin like behavior, he added, "I was actually about to wage a serious battle if you had directed me to a hotel, instead. Thank Merlin you said otherwise, or your daughter would have no one but me to care for her in this world. Just what the poor child needs, Severus Snape changing nappies and giving the sex talk. Gods." He visibly shook the thought off with mirth showing in his dark eyes.
"I don't know about all that. I think you would do quite admirably, Severus. And don't you dare think you won't be changing nappies! It is a certainty! But I suppose I'll still give the sex talk, when the time comes, of course. A girl does need her mother." She gave him a sidelong glance and noticed his chest puf out just the slightest bit at her compliment his suspected fatherly prowess. " Right, well, I'll leave you here. You can watch the jets take off and land for a bit. I shouldn't be long, maybe about 40 minutes at the most. Do you need anything?" She asked.
"Are you trying to hen-peck me already? Hermione, I am a grown wizard. I've made it this far on my own, I believe I'll be fine for 40 minutes." Snape gave her an admonishing look.
"Severus, I seriously doubt you could be hen-pecked at all. I'll be back soon." She kissed his cheek and let her lips linger just a little, before she sat back allowing him to climb out of the car and apply a disillusionment charm to await her return.

Back at the Precinct
"Yo, Bitch, you need a car?" Hermione said, by way of vulgar greeting to her friend in the oncoming shift.
"Yeah, what car do you have? Is it a cage?" the younger girl said.
"Nope. No cage, tank is full and the heat works." She tossed the keys somewhat haphazardly to the other girl.
"What's wrong with it? Anything major?"
"Nothing more than the usual bullshit. Wanna download me really quick? I'm trying to get the fuck out of this shithole, before it tries to take me as its own and i start growing into the walls like Davy Jones' locker in Pirates of the Carribean." They both laughed at her joke and walked over to the clearing barrel.
"So any plans for this weekend?" They smiled at each other.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you. I'm throwing a sick rager at my place tomorrow. Lots of coke, probably a few hookers, some strobes and blacklights. Probably gonna get a serious helping of some vitamin D, if you know what I mean. You should really stop by, you know." They both laughed at their usual joke as she popped her round into the case.
"So, playing with Lorelei and reading some more?"
"You know me so well. It's why were best friends."
As Hermione waited outside the armory to turn in her gear, her watch commander walked up.
"Hey, Green, don't forget, ending mileage. Oh, and by the way, you're in zone 5 Monday." He said, off hand.
"Mother fuck me in the asshole side ways. Ok. Got it." She sighed as the man walked away, clipboard in hand.
"You have a problem with zone 5 now? You usually love it out there. No one bothers you, and nothing ever happens." Her friend asked.
"Naw, just have someone from home stop in to stay for a bit, and I was hoping to hang out with him, now I'll be home late as shit. Well, fuck. Still have the weekend, I guess."
**********
Severus ahd mentally scoffed at the idea of getting any form of enjoyment in watching aircraft for 40 minutes, but somehow found himself to be mesmerized by the sight of the heavy, loud metal contraptions gracefully making their way through the air. Before he knew it, Hermione had pulled into the parking area and parked, waiting for him to get in.
"Cooler than you thought, isn't it? She asked with a smirk on her face.
"I wouldn't say that word if you paid me to, but yes. I suppose it was more enjoyable than I had previously thought it would be." He said with his signature sneer in place. "And why the hell are you still talking like that? It's a disgrace to England to use that dreadful accent any more than absolutely necessary." She continued just to see how much it would take for him to lose it.
"What? You don't like my American accent? Well, fuck, I guess I should stop then. Wouldn't want to hurt your overly sensitive ears."
"Sweet Circe, do you usually curse this much?" He asked as she casually flipped on the radio.
"As Hollie, Abso-fucking-lutely. Hollie is a big fan of swearing. I gotta say, I'll miss it. There's nothing quite like a well placed 'fuck' to really get the frustration out." She laughed outright at his expression.
"I certainly hope you don't keep this up long. I'm already nervous enough as it is, without your added needling." He said. She took pity on him.
"I'm sorry. You're just so easy. I meant what I said though. I will miss how much I get to swear here. What are you nervous about?"
"Well, I would assume, that at your house, is your daughter. The last time I was around a small child was when Draco was young. And I don't think I need to tell you, I didn't exactly have much contact with him." He twisted his hands in his lap.
"Severus, I think she will immediately fall in love with you. You have nothing to worry about." She put a comforting hand on his thigh.
"How would that even be possible? No child has even been comforted or made to feel happy by my appearance." he said self-deprecatingly.
"Actually, I really mean it. She loves dark things. One of her favorite movies is very dark in nature as well as color. And if she doesn't take to you right off, just talk to the girl. Your voice could make me do just about anything in the right tone. I imagine a small child should be quite simple for you." She said firmly with a private smile on her face.
"Oh really? Anything, Miss Granger?" He replied silkily as he placed his hand on her knee and began making small circles with his thumb.
"If you don't stop that, I'll crash this car. Let me concentrate. And don't think that you'll be jumping right into bed with me either! Just because you've come all this way does not mean that you will be getting any from me." She scolded him.
"Hermione, I wouldn't dream of it. You are far to special for me to just jump into bed with you. You deserve much more than that. Perhaps we should even wait until we return to Hogwarts. I'm sure there will be no shortage of baby-sitters." He said as he pulled his hands back into his lap and glanced out the window attempting to appear nonchalant.
"That's not a bad idea, except I have no idea when I can come back. It's more complicated than just picking up and leaving." She chewed her lip in thought. "I don't know how Kingsley wans me to get out of my job here... and I would like to finish my schooling too, though I'm nearly finished with my thesis. If i had the time to really work on it as I would like, It could be finished in a few days. The research is all done anyway." She was lost in thought.
"I'll floo Kinglsey tonight and see what he has to say as far as getting out of here. I don't think it'll be too terribly difficult," He gulped and summoned his courage. "And I suppose I could watch your daughter for you during the day so you can work on your dissertation." He adjusted his suddenly tight collar as Hermione smiled at him.
"Severus that's hardly necessary. Relax, she has a nanny." At her statement calmed him somewhat, before she continued. "If you really want to help, you could always start packing for us." She said with a sly smirk.
"Alright, you're on. But I hope you don't require more than a few days, because I will have your house packed and taken care of before the end of next week." He said determinedly, his jaw set and his gaze challenging.
"Fine. We'll see who finishes first then won't we? A bit anxious to leave America? I thought I could get you to move out here with me?" She teased him.
"First off, don't say it if you don't mean it. I would follow you anywhere you wanted to go. And secondly, yes. I find myself most anxious to get you back where you belong; At Hogwarts, by my side and in my bed." He raised his eyebrow and gave her his most devastating half smile. Hermione nearly swooned at his look and felt a responding gush in her knickers.
"Wipe that look off your face, Severus. The temptation isn't going to help either of us finish our work any faster." she blushed.
"I suppose. And speaking of beds, where exactly am I going to be sleeping while I'm here?"
"Well, If your old bones can't handle the sofa or the futon in the spare room," she joked and gave him a half smile of her own,"Then you could just sleep in my bed. I assure you, it is big enough."
"Gods woman. How am I supposed to make it a week let alone a couple nights when you say things like that? I'm just a man!" He fairly growled in response.
"Take a moment and calm yourself, Severus. I don't need you scaring the wits out of the nanny and we're here."
"Here?" He croaked out, suddenly feeling more terror than he could remember feeling when standing before the Dark Lord. He felt the sweat drip down his brow.
"Yes, here. Take a couple minutes to relax yourself. I'll go in and take over from the nanny. Come in when you're ready." She said calmly. She kissed him on the cheek and rested a hand on his jawline, then looked into his eyes. "She will love you Severus." She said, right before she got out of the car and walked in the front door of a plain looking white house with dark green shutters.
Oh Sweet Merlin's saggy balls. I'm terrified of meeting a 1 year old girl who can't even talk yet. If Voldemort could see me now...

A/N
I hope you're enjoying it so far. I think Severus handled the baby thing pretty well, don't you? Any opinions on what you guys think people's reactions will be? I would love some suggestions for peoples reactions to seeing Snape with a baby in his arms... Funniest ones will be used! Just submit them and I would LOVE to add them. I can only imagine what Minerva would say... hmm. Lemons will be en-route shortly, so just keep swimming, I mean reading. And in case you were wondering, Hollie is very much based off of me. I am basically describing my job and how I interact with my coworkers on a daily basis. If one of hem happened to be reading this story, I'm sure they would agree...
