To the Power of Three-Chapter 18

Severus felt even big now, the baby was growing so big and he was only six months along. He still had three months to go. Meanwhile he was lashing out at everyone. Accusing Siri and Remy of having sex while he was not around, but at the same time he tried getitng out of sex. He would yell at HArry for messing up the kitchen then turn right around and cry if the mail was late. He even went so far as to slap Remus, making Moony lash out. Remus then started to avoid him, making Severus think that Remus was leaving him and then came more tears.

Sirius: *was trying to cope with the mood swings as much as he could, since he was the more stable of emotions of the three, n right now he was reassuring Sev tht Remus was just avoiding him for his own good* Now, now, Sev. Dont be tht way. He's not leaving u. He's just being away for ur own good

"He hates me. I know it." Severus sobbed. "You'll both leave me. I just know it. I'm worthless."

Sirius: No ur not. Ur not worthless. U wouldnt still be here if u were. He doesnt hate u. He does tht so tht he wouldnt let Moony hurt u. Moony doesnt tolerate violence on his part, so he's doing tht to protect u

"You never have sex with me. You only do it when I beg for it. You hate my body. I like a whale." He turned away

Sirius: No, of course not. I love ur body, bt we just dont want to do it unless u want it bcoz we dont want to hurt u. U look beautiful as u r. U hv a nice glow to u *roamed his hands ard his body, giving him some reassuring strokes*

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" He slaped his hands away. "All you think of me is a hole for you cock." He cried.

"God will he ever stop." Harry said, coming to return some dishes. "I can hear him all the way upstairs."

Sirius: It happens. Ur gonna get it frm Draco sooner or later, so better bear with it *turns to Severus* Now, now, lets not be brash. U hv to keep a level head. U dont wanna stress urself too much for the gender exam later

"Not like you care." His wiped his eyes. "You just want me out of the house so you and Lupin can fuck."

"Ew, gross." Harry shivered and left the room quickly

Sirius: Of course not. For ur information we havent fuck once alone together since u came into our lives, much less wen ur pregnant. We're not abt to leave u out

"What about yesterday? You were kissing him in the shower." Severus put his hand on his belly.

Sirius: *chuckles* It was just a kiss. Nothing happened. Besides, it was Moony who was forced into kissing me. I had to kick him out. Gave Remy a nasty gash on the forehead

Severus sniffled. "Promise?" Looking up at him.

Sirius: *smiled sincerely n lovingly* Promise

"I'm sorry. I just feel out of sorts. My emotions are running haywire. I usually have good contorl of them."

Sirius: Its alright. Ur pregnant, n ur hving mood swings. Its normal. Now get ready. I think the Figgs is abt to show up for the gender exam. We might evn knw who it belongs to

"I don't want to know that. Maybe the child will look like me. No I don't want to curse the child."

Sirius: Dont be dwn on urself. Whoevr it looks like we love it just the same, OK? *hears the fireplc* Sounds like Figgs here

"I am not sure you would." He said to himself.

Figgs: *enters* Ah, how is our new mother doing?

Sirius: The usual moodswings, bt nothing I cant handle

Figgs: Ah, tht. Well, lay dwn on bed, Mr Snape, so tht I can examine u

Severus laid down. "Where is Remus?" He asked Sirius. "I want him to be here."

Sirius: I'll fetch. Dont start without me *walks off to the attic* Oi, Remy. C'mere. The medi-wizard's here for the gender exam n Sev wants both of us to be there with him

Remus looked at him. "I don't know if that is a good idea. Moony has be coming out more. I am afriad that if we find out Sev's baby is not mine. Moony might not take it well."

Sirius: I will be there to hold him bk, dont worry. Better be there than let Sev think u dont care

"I do care for him." Remus came over to Sirius. "Don't touch me unless you need to."

Sirius: Alright. Well come along then *led him to the bedroom* Remy's here~!

Severus held his hand out for Remus and Remus took his hand. "Ready?" Severus nodded.

Sirius: *nodded at Figgs*

Figgs: *nodded n whispered some spells to reveal a huge cloud of aura*

Severus held his breath, squeazing Remus' hand.

Sirius: *held his breath as well*

*the aura slowly morphed to a pinkish red hue*

Figgs: Congratulations, its a girl

Severus smiled. "That is wonderful."

"Yes." Remus nodded. "Finally a female in the house."

Sirius: *chuckles* Tht just sounds wrong

Figgs: Would u like to knw the parentage as well?

Severus gulped, looking at Remus and Sirius.

"I am fine with it, if Sirius and Severus are."

Sirius: *nods too* Do it, Figgs

Figgs: *nodded n performed another spell, then the aura split into two, one floated towards Severus n the other slowly floated towards Sirius' direction* Well, looks like ur the father this time

Severus gulped and looked up at Remus but Remus looked calm. Inside he was fighting Moony back, but he was losing the battle.

Sirius: *could tell frm experience tht Remus was not faring well with Moony n armlocked him for good measure* Now, now

Moony: *barged past the mental barrier n was seething* Wht the fuck...Wht the FUCK?! Not my cub?! U gotta be kidding me!! I'm supposed to be the first!! Why is it not my cub?! U fucking whore!!

Sirius: Moony! Get bk in there! Get bk!!

Severus started sobbing and ran from the room. He knew it. Remus/Moony was jealous. He closed the door to nursry. He felt worthless and useless. He looked around. It was all his fault. He knocked over the crib and the dresser tore the curtins off teh hooks.

Sirius: *struggled with Moony to force him outdoors n dragged him to the forest, ensuing in an all out fight to help Moony blow some steam*

Draco: *heard the commotion n made his way to the nursery, bt cringed as he heard Sev doing damage to the nursery, his hand ovr his baby bump. He had gone past the morning sickness period n the cravings were setting in n was abt to go get something to eat wen he heard it. He knocked on the door* Un....Uncle Sev...?

Severus was panting from the exertion of energy. "Yes, Draco?"

Draco: Umm...U...U OK in there?

"I'm fine." he wiped his eyes. "Just run along, Draco."

Draco: Uncle Sev...If...there's anything bothering u...u can talk to me

"I have just realized that three people can not have a relationship. I only end ups hurting one person."

Draco: *figured it out* The baby is not Remus', isnt it?

"No. Severus at on the up turned dresser. Moony found out and he is furious."

Draco: Its just Moony. Not Remus. I mean, I'm sure Remus is fine with it. Besides, ur with Sirius n Remus, not Sirius and Moony

"I am pretty much with all three of them. Remus and Moony are kinda the same even though they come out one at a time."

Draco: Remus is Moony's charge, he should be able to reign him in n convince him. I'm sure everything will work out

"I suppose." He looked at the wall, lost in thought. He held his stomach. "I wish it was just me and one other."

Draco: Bt u hv two ppl who loves u deeply. Tht is so much luckier than any other who wished they can love two ppl at once. Tho I'm pretty glad tht I hv one. No one else would spare me a second glance if I didnt hv the cash for it *stroke his belly* Bt Har loved me regardless of who i am *smiled*

"As I said I wished I had one person. But I couldn't choose between them."

Draco: There is no choosing ovr someone u love. Ur just gonna hv to love them both n learn to share, I guess *hears Sirius n Remus returning* Well, I gtg. I remember I was craving for crystallized pineapples *grins n left*

Severus was left there. He could'nt choose if his life depending on it. He loves them both, but he still worried that three was a crowed. He was still staring at the wall, the room in shams around him.
