Chapter 1; The Sap
"Say that again." Severus requested his wife. He was sure he must had misheard her. They had been married only two weeks, and had spent quite a bit of time together since they had proclaimed their love. Perhaps too much time together - if he had heard her correctly.
Audrey sat herself in his lap, and wrapped her arms around him, kissing his neck in the way she had so quickly learned could erupt a manly growl from his throat. "Happy Early Father's day?" She said with a fake meekness to her voice. Severus could feel her lips spread wide into a grin against his skin.
He cleared his throat in an attempt clear his mind from both his tingling arousal and the news Audrey brought forth to him. "How?" He barely managed to say. His voice lost.
Audrey leaned back to look at him. "How do you think, Severus?!" She burst out with a giggle, likely amused by his dumb question.
"But you..." he tried to make sense of this. She had been taking contraception potions each and every time they were finished with their love making. Surely there was no way? He had made the potions himself.
"It appears that I am immune to those potions." She answered his unfinished question.
"Impossible." He grumbled.
"Not really." Audrey said. "The Grady family is known for our fertility. Remember, I have many siblings and aunts and uncles." She lightly kissed his gaping open mouth. "We're having a little girl, Severus." She said against his lips.
"A... girl?" He whispered. His loving eyes met hers, a tiny smile forming as the thought absorbed into his mind.
"A baby girl. I always wanted a girl."
"That's... wonderful." He said truthfully. "The boys should be thrilled to have a sister." Severus then picked his wife up and carried her to their room. "This calls for a celebration." He said setting her on their bed.
"I would say so too." Audrey said with a laugh and began casting an abundance of charms on the room to prevent any interruption.

A crowd of many people waited in the maternity ward of St Mungos. Harry and Andrew sat in the laps of their dads squirming around in excitement. They had anxiously been waiting, all too impatiently, for the announcement. It wasn't just one baby they were waiting for though- it was two.
"Are they going to be twins?" Andrew asked his daddy. His grey eyes searched his daddy's matching ones.
Sirius chuckled. "No, Smurf. They have to be from the same Mummy for that."
"But why?" Harry asked. "Why do they have to come from the same Mummy?"
"Why not the same daddy?" Andrew added his own question. Both boys very interested on this rule.
Remus cleared his throat uncomfortably. He did that a lot when Andrew and Harry asked certain questions that were hard to explain and make a six and seven year old understand.
"That's just how it is." James answered.
"It's just like my goats and lambs, boys." Peter spoke up. "When a Mummy gives birth to two babies, the babies are known as twins. When she has three babies, they are triplets. But when two different mummies each have a baby on the same day, it does not make the babies twins, because they have different mummies." Peter the farmer finished his explanation.
"Oh." The boys said.
"Blast!" Severus came stalking into the room, Langston following close behind him. "Damn good for nothing Healers! Should have went to a Muggle hospital! At least then they would allow me inside that room! Stupid old fashioned rules!"
"Only you would want to witness such a thing." Sirius said to Severus.
"I happen to care about my wife!" Severus snarled.
"Severus, I keep telling you that you do not want to watch such a thing." Langston's face turned green. "Muggle schools show a bit too much in-" he glanced at Andrew and Harry. "-well, they try to scare us from even holding hands with the opposite gender."
"I hold Ginny's hand all the time." Harry said. "Is that bad?"
"Course not, Harry." James replied.
"In fact, it's a very good thing." Sirius said, giving his eyebrows a wiggle, making Andrew and Harry giggle.
"How do you do that?!" Andrew asked. "I want to know how!"
"One day you will figure it out, and when you do, you'll be the best stud out there." Sirius told him.
"Stud? Really?" Severus asked with a raised eyebrow. He muttered something under his breath and started pacing the room.
"Would you just sit down?" James asked impatiently. "Merlin, you're a wreck."
"You weren't so calm when Lily was having Harry!" Severus demanded. "Your wife is in the next room as mine is, shouldn't you be worried?!"
"On the inside, he's screaming." Remus said gently.
James heaved a sigh. "No kidding." He admitted and scratched his head nervously.
"Did you switch roles today?" Langston asked Severus and James. "Just to confuse the rest of us?"
Severus sat himself in a chair, tapping a foot anxiously. "What is taking so long?"
"Good Lord." Sirius rolled his eyes. "You're pathetic."
"As if you'd be any different?!" Severus snapped. "Weren't you the one that fainted when you heard the news about your son?" That brought a smirk to his face, momentarily forgetting his stress.
Remus chuckled. "It was pretty cute."
"Oh, shut it already!" Sirius grumbled, slightly embarrassed by the memory. He still couldn't believe he fainted like a ninny when Professor Dumbledore brought his son over last year to inform him that he was a father. That felt so long ago. At that time, he wasn't sure how to even be a father, but now, he has accepted the idea with open arms.
Sirius hugged his little boy, who could pass off as himself if they ever went back to the time that he was a little boy. Andrew rested his head against his father's shoulder in comfort. Sirius smiled. He had earned his son's full trust. He then something whispered into the boy's ear.
"Love you too, Daddy." Andrew whispered back.
Sirius felt Remus take his hand, and the two exchanged smiles. He may have to share his little Smurf with Snape, but he considered Andrew mostly his and Remus'. The only reason he tolerated Snape was because Andrew liked him so. Not that Sirius was pleased by this, but he didn't want to be the jackass and forbid his son from seeing his mother just because of the woman's new husband. Besides, Snape didn't treat his kid bad or anything, and if he ever had to admit it, Snape made a decent father.
Of course Sirius would never say that aloud.
He frowned at the thought of Andrew's new sister that Audrey was about to have in any moment. He had a sick feeling he wouldn't see much of Andrew for a while.
"Will you be Lianna's other daddies?" Andrew asked Sirius and Remus.
Sirius shifted Andrew in his arms. "Probably not, Andrew." He said avoiding Severus' eyes.
"How come not so?" The boy asked. "She'll be my sister, and you're my daddies."
"It's a bit different with Lianna, Smurf. Severus will be her daddy."
"But I'll share with her!" Andrew exclaimed. "Then she'll have three daddies like me!" He said smiling.
Severus let out a groan and rubbed his aching forehead.
"She will call them Uncles, just like the rest of the kids do." Langston told Andrew, quickly solving the problem.
"And I'll be Uncle Peter!" Peter added jollily. He got up from his seat when his wife, Donna, came into the room with his own baby daughter, Marsha. He took the near three month old baby into his arms and cooed at his daughter, making her give him a toothless smile.
"Still waiting?" Donna asked as Peter sat back down next to Remus who lifted a finger to the baby. Marsha took no time at all to snatch the index finger with her strong grip and let out a happy gurgle.
"You are just a bucket of sugar, aren't you?" Remus said to her.
"Yes, still waiting." Peter answered his wife, shifting his feet so she could sit next to him easier.
The last of their close friends to arrive was Daisy Wren, dressed in her usual green and pink dress and purple hat that she never left the house with.
"Tweeters!" Andrew shrieked and ran to the woman.
Daisy hugged the boy tightly with an audible happy groan. "Ready to be a big brother?" She asked him.
"Yep!"
"I came as soon as I could, sorry." She told Severus after Andrew returned to his father's lap. "I had to find a substitute for my class." Daisy was an primary school teacher in Scotland.
"You have nothing to worry about." Severus told her as she sat down next to him. "The babies haven't come yet."
"My, my, you are sweating bullets, aren't you?" Daisy let out a small giggle and summoned up a handkerchief for him.
"Hmm, thanks." He said under his breath and patted his forehead.
"It'll be fine." She whispered to him. "Women do this all the time."
Severus nodded, although, not thoroughly at ease with the thought of Audrey lying in a bed in the room not far from them, with his daughter on the way.
He considered Langston and Andrew as his boys, even though he had to share the latter one with Sirius Black and his husband. But this child will be different. His own blood flowed in this baby that was about to enter the world. He would be responsible from the first breath of hers to his last, and he had no idea how to raise a little girl. He had been surrounded by young boys since Harry was born, every wizard he associated with only had sons up until just recently. Not to mention, he, himself, had been a little boy, so he knew a bit about boys. What about girls though? Would his daughter be prissy or would she be like the Weasley's daughter and end up being a bit tomboyish?
"Stop worrying." Daisy whispered next to him, tapping his arm softly. "You'll be fine."
It was easy for Daisy to say. The animugas was still childless and single, seemingly liking her life style of a new unworthy boyfriend every month. This lifestyle could be because she had been sent to an all girls school when she was an adolescent, thus, she hardly had any interaction with the opposite sex. She was also a big flirt. It was a good thing Audrey didn't take Daisy's flirting with Severus seriously, because he had been enjoying their friendship.
Daisy was a terrible, terrible potion maker, and relied and Severus and Lily to make even the simplest ones such as the Pepper up Potion, but she was amazing at Transfigurations, allegedly mastering the skill before she was even sixteen years old.
"Mr. Potter?" A mediwitch called out from the doorway.
"That's me!" James said eagerly. He set Harry on the ground and stood up.
"A beautiful baby girl." The woman announced with a smile. "Mummy and baby are just perfect."
James sighed in relief and the whole room stood up. "When can we see them?"
"Let's not be so overwhelming." she said sternly. "Mrs. Potter has requested for you and your son." She gave Harry a warm smile and the boy returned it.
"I have a sister now?" He asked his father.
"Yep!" James said excitedly. "Shall we go meet Holly?"
"Yeah!" And James led Harry out by the hand, ready to meet the new addition to his family.
"Well, isn't that great?" Remus asked his friend. "Prongs finally has his little girl."
Peter chuckled. "Let the trouble begin."
"It's just wonderful." Sirius said distantly in thought. He was truly happy for his friends, but he was starting to feel left out with the children his friends were having. He had missed a lot of his son's milestones; his birthing day amoung them and regretting such, even though it was not his fault at all. He had made sure to stress this to Audrey, letting her know how upset he was that she had kept his boy from him, but had long forgiven her, understanding her reasoning.
Andrew, sensing his father's mood change, tucked his tiny hand into his and smiled up at him.
Now that Sirius had the confidence of being a father he felt he, too, should have another child. Preferably a girl. But he couldn't do it the traditional way, since he was married to a man. He knew there were other ways to make that happen though.
Sirius wrapped an arm around Remus' waist. He knew his husband would agree to this. Remus loved children. He had wanted one before Andrew had been thrown into their lives, and probably wouldn't mind one that they wouldn't have to share with another couple.
Three hours later, after each of James' friends and Daisy had seen his daughter, the mediwitch returned to inform Severus that Lianna had finally made her appearance to the world.
Severus' pulse picked up. He wasn't sure if it was excitement, anticipation, fear, or everything combined. He had taken part in a bringing a child into the world. It was done. Now it was time to meet this new creation that he had assisted with.
"I want to see her, Daddy Severus!" Andrew exclaimed, hurrying behind Severus.
"Me too." Langston added.
"Family first." The mediwitch said.
"We're Lianna's brothers. And Daddy Severus is her daddy." Andrew said proudly.
"They'll be alright." Severus assured the mediwitch.
"Just remember, your wife needs lots of rest. Sixteen hours of labour-" she let out a breath of air to that. "That's rotten luck."
Severus nodded in agreement. "We'll just see how Audrey's doing and then let her rest."
They entered the room together and Severus snatched Andrew's hand before he could run to his mother who was sleeping, looking purely exhausted. Her long blond hair was matted to her face, which was glistening with sweat.
The three males quietly made their way to the woman. A faint grunting nose came from her chest. They peered over to look at the baby Snape. Andrew was in Severus' arms for a good look at his sister. Lianna was swaddled in a pink fleece blanket. Her eyes were closed, also sleeping after her busy and laboured day. She had a small petite nose and an abundance of dark soft hair. Her lips puckered out, a bit of white substance bubbled around her puckering lips, no doubt the evidence of her first meal.
"She moves around a lot." Andrew whispered noting the movement of the baby's limbs under the blanket.
"She's familiarizing herself to new surroundings." Severus murmured to him.
"Aren't you going to hold her?" Langston asked Severus.
Severus tilted his head in thought. He didn't want to disturb neither one of the females of his family, but he was itching to take the baby into his arms. And also kiss his beloved wife. His eyes shifted to Audrey. She had gone through so much trouble for his child. It was no surprise that his daughter wouldn't come out easily. Stubborn as her father, and his mother. Stubborn as a Snape.
Stubborn as her mother too.
He bent down, Andrew in his arms and all, and lightly brought his lips to Audrey's clammy forehead. "Thank you." He whispered.
