7 Years later:

"Mom!"

I smiled as my four year old son came running down the stairs.

"Don't run young man."

Severus got him before I could and lifted him into the air as he laughed wildly. Severus wore a huge smile on his face as he kissed Aaron's head and put him back down. Aaron ignored the warning and ran to me instead.

I giggled as he hugged me gently before pressing a kiss to my stomach. It was quite a shock to him when he realized that he was going to be an older brother and a definitely difficult task for Severus to explain to him how I wasn't a child eating monster while I cried in the corner.

Sighing, Severus took off his coat and hung it on the rack before placing a kiss on my cheek and gently caressing my stomach. Both the males in my family- scratch that- all the males in my family had a weird infatuation with the baby growing inside of me.

I was only three weeks into the pregnancy so it didn't show however Severus was even more protective of me this time than he was the last time and now I had Aaron- a four year old- also babying me and reprimanding me if I didn't stop eating all his sweets. Luckily for me, he was Severus's son, so a pair of watering eyes and wobbling lips did the trick.

Aaron didn't know of what had happened and we intended to keep it that way, we left that life and that time behind. Instead we chose a better life, we grew and now here we were. Happy and expecting our second kid.

Severus and I didn't have many problems I think the major factor for this would still be the situation we met under. It seemed that neither of us could forget the past so we lived with it. Doing our best to prevent it from coming back for us or the ones close to us.

Severus was now long employed, he didn't choose a profession which excluded danger though. Now he was a detective and had more than enough confidential cases piling up. It was shocking how effortlessly he carried them. But there were days where I would call up his boss randomly and ask for a day off for him.

I had known his boss because it was an older man that I had met while grocery shopping and helped on several occasions, then I met him when I visited Severus at the secret spot him and his buddy against crime- Edward- would spend their time at to keep us safe and away from the dangers of information.

It was fun though, his boss liked me and I could actually say that he looked up to me with happiness. From what he had told me, he was simply glad that someone from this time was still willing to help older people.

We had moved to the outskirts of a city, a few other members from the organization that Severus had a contract with stayed there so we weren't completely away from life and we weren't totally bare to any enemy. The safest thing was that all of those work acquaintances were armed and I had made progress with them, mum and dad lived close by as well while Donna lived further in the city somewhere near the area Edward had recently furnished.

Aaron loved when everyone got together. He absolutely adored my dad and Edward because they would play video games with him and tell him tricks to impress the ladies while my mother and Donna would sit back and sometimes reprimand him or at other times just settle with telling him what girls liked in boys.

It was funny how they were trying to teach him the ways of life at four, they usually confused him so much that after they were all gone he would ask Severus to explain everything. I still had the picture of the time I caught Severus sleeping with him on his chest after one of their usual chats to understand all the tips that his relatives had given him. It was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen, both my boys huddled together and my next child already starting to step into life.
