Severus sat in the sitting room with Remus and Draco. Their six month old child was already walking and talking, a prodigy in their eyes. The reason he called his husband and son down here is because he had a big surprise to tell them.


"So, Sev," Remus intoned with a slight smirk while holding a bouncing Draco on his lap. "what's the surprise?"


Severus walked in front of the two, waved his wand and muttered a 'Finite Incantatum'.


The spell set in to reveal a slight bulge in Severus' abdomen.

"I'm pregnant, Remus. Our little dragon is going to be a big brother," the dour man answered with a smile, green eyes shining with excitement and love.


Remus immediately started laughing while Draco squealed in excitement. "Baby?" the toddler asked, looking at his mom.


Severus scooped up the child and tickled his tummy. "Yes, my little star. Mummy is having another baby."


It was that moment that Lucius and Narcissa decided to enter with Marvolo in tow.


"Who's having another baby?" Narcissa asked the trio.


"We are, Cissy. As for how far along I am, just over four months. Or, approximately five months," Severus answered.


Narcissa squealed and ran over to Severus. "Congratulations, Severus," the Malfoy Matriarch congratulated her friend.


"Thank you," Severus answered. Then, he felt a kick in his stomach. "Looks like this little one is starting to get a little hyper,"


Draco slid out of his dad's lap and toddled over to his mom, who kneeled onto the floor and placed his hand over the bump. Severus smiled at the child and rubbed his stomach with his free hand.


Draco's eyes lit up when he felt the baby kick his hand. He leaned onto Severus' baby bump and asked innocently, "Baby sister coming, Mummy?"


Severus's POV

I couldn't help but smile at Draco. He always did get lonely when none of us were around or with just the house elves. Remus and I could tell that he wanted a sibling, but there's been much to do.

Now, we have a little one on the way who will have a wonderful big brother to guide him/her through life. Both of them to be best friends. I first found out that I was pregnant when Draco was about two months old, but I wanted to keep it a surprise.

As for what the gender is going to be, I have a feeling that it's going to be a little girl. I just know it.

POV Off

Draco was very excited to be a big brother, he didn't like being an only child. "Big bwother Dwaco, Mummy?" Draco asked Severus, bright green eyes sparkling with curiosity. Severus just smiled and answered the child rubbing at his baby bump. "Yes, sweetie. You're going to be a big brother in the next four months,"


(Let's just say that the next four months of Severus' pregnancy at Ravenclaw Castle are going to be hectic. Good luck everyone! Because you WILL need it...)

As the months passed by, Draco grew older and Severus grew bigger. With the pregnancy, he was no longer considered unattractive, he was glowing. Literally. Lady Magic saw how Severus grew up, so she adopted him as her own. Thankfully, the damage done to him by his father, Tobias, was repairable.

But, back to the little family. Severus wasn't able to brew a potion to cure lycanthropy, but he was able to create a spell. Whenever he was sure nobody was around, Severus started singing lullabies to the baby in his tummy whenever he was alone. Remus, Narcissa, Lucius, and Marvolo have never heard him sing before, so he was really shy about it. His hair has grown to right below his hips,and wanted to grow it out to his knees. Lady Magic made him into a very attractive man while she raised him.

Speaking of Severus, he was in the nursery with Draco, now 10 months old, painting the baby's room. Now nine months pregnant, Narcissa has told him to hold back on any strenuous activities. He was about to ask Draco what gender he thought that the baby will be when he felt a sharp pain ripple through his stomach. "Mama?" Draco asked, worried about his mama.

"I'm okay, Dragon. I just-Agh!!!"

A house elf popped into the nursery and asked, "Mistress bes alrights?"

Severus looked at her with teary pain-filled eyes and ordered, "Get Marvolo, Lucius, Cissa, and Remus and tell them to meet me in the master bedroom, Lila. Please take me into mine and Remus' room and place me in the bed. Tell them, "The baby's coming,". And take Draco with you,".

The little elf nodded before popping Severus into his room and into bed. Then she popped into the room where the others were with Draco.

Remus, Lucius, Narcissa, and Marvolo were in the library reading when Lila popped in with Draco in her arms.

"Lila, what's wrong?" Remus asked, setting his book down. "And why is Draco with you? I thought he was with Sev."

Narcissa took Draco into her arms, before connecting the dots. "Is Severus having the baby?" she asked.

Lila nodded and popped them into the master bedroom, where Severus laid sweaty and panting in the the bed. Narcissa shoved Lucius out of the room, Draco with him (can't scar the pure baby for life), and helped Severus deliver the baby. "Okay, Sev. Let's deliver this baby,"

Outside, Lucius paced back and forth while Marvolo leaned against the wall before a baby's cries filled the chamber. Just barely, he could hear Narcissa proclaim, "It's a girl!"

A few minutes later, Severus called out, "Lucius, you, Marvolo, and Draco can come in now."

(Inside the room)

Severus flopped back onto the pillows, completely exhausted and out of breath. Sweat poured down his face, ivory hair plastered to his forehead, looking through half-lidded eyes as he and Remus watched Narcissa clean the baby up and wrapped her up in a silk blanket before putting her on Severus' chest for her first feeding.

"Hi there, sweetheart

"Oh, Sev. She's so adorable!" Remus gushed as he looked at his new daughter.

"Yes. (pant!) She is. Draco will be so (yawn!) excited to meet her," the exhausted wizard wheezed out, cradling his newborn daughter close to his chest as she continued nursing. Severus was a mother to a healthy baby boy, and now a mother to a healthy baby girl. "Time for Draco to meet his new little sister, Remmy."

He looked towards the door and called out, "Lucius, you, Marvolo, and Draco can come in now."

---

Lucius opened the door and entered the bedroom. Severus was lying in bed, and in his arms was little Baby Ravenclaw-Prince, Draco's baby sister. Remus stood next to his husband and watched at his son interacted with the new baby.

"Baby sister, Mummy?" the child asked as Lucius placed him with his mother.

Severus smiled and adjusted the baby so Draco could see her better. "Yes, sweetheart. This is your baby sister."

It was at that moment when the baby decided to open her eyes, revealing bright forest green eyes. The baby also had wisps of red hair growing in.

"What are you going to name her, Sev? Remus?" Narcissa asked as she came over with the birth certificate.

Remus and Severus shared a look before replying in unison. "Astranova. Astranova Harmony Ravenclaw-Prince."

Narcissa wrote as she spoke, "Okay, Astranova Harmony Ravenclaw-Prince was born on October 31st, 1980 at midnight."

The newly named Astranova let her eyes wander around the room until her eyes landed on Draco. She started cooing and smiling, reaching to her older brother. Draco was mesmerized at his new sister. He reached his hand out to her and she grabbed onto it, laughing adorably.

Now that Draco was ten months old, he was able to speak a little more fluently. "Hi, baby sister. I'm your big brother, Draco. And, we're going to go to Hogwarts together."

Severus and Remus leaned into each other and smiled at their little ones, knowing that they're going to get along just fine and that Draco was going to be a wonderful big brother to his new little sister.

A week later, Remus told Severus that they had some visitors. "Who's coming over?" he asked curiously while lying in bed. He was still weak and exhausted easily after giving birth to Astranova and was ordered to be on complete bed rest until Cissa gave him the all clear

The only response he got was a shrug of the shoulders.

Then the floo sounded and James, Lily, and Sirius walked out of the flames and into Remus and Severus' rooms.

"Lily!!" Severus exclaimed, opening his arms for a hug. Lily ran over to her childhood friend and hugged him tightly. When she pulled back, Lily heard a gurgling noise.

"What was that?" James asked.

Narcissa walked into the room holding Astranova in her arms, the curious baby staring at the three new people in the room.

"Somebody was hungry and wanted her mummy, Sev. Oh, hi guys," Narcissa greeted the three visitors as she passed Severus his baby before walking out.

"Sev! Who's this little one?" James asked as he, Sirius, and Lily came closer to see the baby. Severus smiled at his friends before looking at his daughter fondly, his green eyes glowing with love.

"This is my daughter, James." was the reply smothered with love.

Siris couldn't help but comment, "She looks just like you, Lily."

And that she did. Astranova's bright red hair had grown out fast, reaching her shoulders in light curls.

Severus smiled at him for that. "Her name is Astranova Harmony Ravenclaw-Prince. Lily, James, Sirius? Can I ask you guys something?"

Lily was confused. What could Sev want to ask them?

Seeing that he had their attention, Severus continued. "If anything happens to me and Remus, I want you three to help Marvolo, Lucius, and Narcissa to raise Draco and Astranova."

All of them stepped back in shock. Why would something happen to Severus and Remus?

Severus saw the looks on their faces and smiled slightly, releasing a huff of laughter. "Dumbledore doesn't know where we are. But what I do know is that he won't stop trying to gain control of my vaults, seats, and properties. He wants to frame Marvolo for your attempted murder, but I can't let that happen. I want you three to stay here with me and Remus at Ravenclaw Castle for your protection. The wards were down by Grandma Rowena and the goblins combined. I even added wards that I invented. I'm a submissive phoenix and siren, so that's how I was able to have children. He also knows that much, so he wants me to produce heirs for him. I have no interest in letting that madman touch me. So, please stay here. I'm sure Astranova and Draco would love to meet their new aunt and uncles. Do you want to hold her, Lily?"

Lily nodded enthusiastically and gently plucked the infant from Severus' arms. "Hello there, Starshine. I'm your Auntie Lilly or Aunt Jamila. Your Uncles Padfoot and Prongs and I are going to spoil you and your big brother rotten to the core." the red haired woman cooed playfully to the sleeping baby.

It's been four weeks since Astranova's birth, and the family of four was journeying to Malfoy Manor for breakfast. The little infant already had everyone wrapped around her little fingers, including Fenrir Greyback.

Lucius, Marvolo, and Narcissa were in one of the familial parlors when the Floo went off and out of the green flames, Draco toddled out followed by Remus and Severus with baby Astranova in his arms. The four week old infant was dressed in a snow-themed dress with dangly sleeves and a pearl headband. Around her neck was a locket with the Ravenclaw and Prince family crests.

Narcissa immediately ran over to Severus and scooped Astranova out of his arms, much to his amusement. "Well, good morning to you too, Cissy," he drawled out with a slight laugh. His snowy white hair was done up in an elegant ponytail tied up with an icy blue ribbon that had the Ravenclaw crest on it.

Lucius and Marvolo smiled at their brothers in all but blood. "The white hair really suits you, Sev," Lucius complimented, giving him a one-armed hug.

"Thank you, Luc. But the little one that your wife has kidnapped might not get her bottle if she isn't returned to my arms," teased the white-haired wizard.

"Yeah, but Cissy kidnaps everybody, so that's not very surprising." Remus added.

That got a laugh out of everyone. Severus looked at the rising sun and smiled. His family will be okay.

(Two years later....)

A red-haired toddler ran through the halls of Ravenclaw Castle, squealing with laughter. Her green eyes were shining with happiness and mirth. "Dwaco!" Astranova called for her brother as she made it to the sitting room. Waiting for her were her mummy and daddy, Draco, Uncle Lucy, Uncle Marv and Auntie Cissa.

"Mummy! Mummy!" the two year old squealed as she ran over to Severus.

Severus opened up his arms and scooped up his little girl. "Hello there, Starshine. Uncle Marv has someone he wants you to meet. This is Nagini, his familiar."

Nagini was a dark green anaconda snake with black spots and eyes. She flicked her tongue and hissed to the young girl.

~Hello there, child. Your hair is very pretty~ Nagini hissed. She was surprised, as was everyone else in the room when Astranova hissed back.

~Hewwo, Nana. I wike you!~ Astranova hissed to the snake in response.

Then, Marvolo realised that Astranova was the heir that he'd been searching for. "Sev, I've been wanting to name an heir since I am Lord Slytherin-Gaunt. But the goblins said that my heir had to be able to speak Parseltongue," the brunette explained to the Potions Master.

"Well, if you want to name my daughter your heir, Marv, then so be it." Severus answered waving his hand.

Astranova squealed in surprise when Nagini flicked her tongue against her cheek. Remus pressed Severus into his side and looked at his family in content. How his life had gotten so perfect, he'll never know. But he's grateful for everything. He has a wonderful husband, great friends, a bright son, and an adorable daughter. Soon, his little eagles will be starting Hogwarts.

It was a month after the birth of Astranova and on this particular rainy Friday, she was really fussy. Nothing anyone did could calm her down and they were trying not to wake up Severus, who was napping on the couch in the parlor.

Finally, Severus woke up and took his baby out of Lucius' arms. "I've got it, I've got it. It's okay, Starshine. It's alright," soothed the ivory-haired lord to the baby in his arms.

Then, Severus started singing an ancient lullaby that belonged to the Elves, much to the shock of the others because it was thought to be lost in history. Remus was shocked that his husband had such a lovely voice, Lucius was upset that Severus kept this secret from them,even Narcissa and Marvolo were shocked and that's saying something. For now, they stayed quiet and watched Severus settle the baby down.

As he sang the lullaby, Astranova calmed down and slowly fell asleep to the comforting sound of her mother's voice.
