Author's Notes: So many thanks are due to the mods for their astounding patience with me. I'm so happy to have completed this fic, and that's all due to their encouragement and flexibility. To my recipient, atypicalsnowman: I took your very first kink/request of accidental bonding and ran with it. I also tried to incorporate a number of your other kinks, as well as slipping in the last of your optional prompts in one scene. I really hope you enjoy the results. Happy Snarry Holidays!

Author's Notes: Sorry it's not art, Tripp! I just can't compete. This is based on your mention of potions-made-me-do-it, but I ended up applying a somewhat fluid interpretation.

Word Count: 3934
Warnings: *Mention of mpreg*
Summary: What happened on the way back from the infirmary?
Disclaimer: All characters owned by JK Rowling. I just play with them. No profit made on use of characters.
A/N: Written for ChooseToLive for the third round of Snarry Holidays, using prompt 2. During the dangerous birth of their third child, Severus attempts to distract and reassure Harry by sharing memories of their courtship, marriage and first two children. Doesn’t follow exactly, but I hope it comes close. Thank you to Fidelius, Kyrie_Snape, Quill Lumos and the Snarry Hols mods for all the beta help. The text which is indented and in italics is a flashback.
