Severus stared at the ceiling, listening to Hermione breathe. The house was peaceful, all was well. For now.
“Insomnia?” Hermione whispered, curling closer.
Severus embraced her. “Anticipation.”
“Perhaps tonight will be quiet.” She nuzzled his jaw. “Should we try some relaxation techniques?”
Severus smirked. “Why, whatever do you have in mind, Mrs Snape?”
“If I have to tell you it’s been too long,” Hermione murmured, straddling him.
Severus’ mouth went dry as she drew her nightgown off over her head, baring herself to him. He’d just slid his hands over her arse when a piercing cry made them both wince.

“I’ll go,” Severus said when Hermione started to reach for her nightgown.
“You’re sure?” she asked, hesitating.
“Of course.” Leaning up, he kissed the corner of her mouth. “We made him together, we’ll take care of him together.”
“All right.” Hermione smiled, lying back and stretching sensuously. “Hurry back.”
Swallowing hard, Severus raced to their son’s room. Fortunately, he was soon settled; he just needed burping.
Hurrying back to their bedroom, Severus paused at the door. Hermione was already asleep, her face pressed to his pillow.
Edging into bed quietly, Severus lay beside her, staring at the ceiling, keeping watch.
