Y/N agreed while flipping through, “That does sound good. I doubt I have the ingredients for it though,” she looked back at him with a raised eyebrow.
“After I make the Princess breakfast, I will go get the ingredients,” the man chuckled.
“Girls, you need to get yourself one of these some day,” she pointed to Severus. “This is one of the good ones. He always keeps your Mama happy,” she told them. “You weren’t that happy with me last night if I remember correctly?” he teased.
Y/N let out a long hmm sound, replying “Thank you for reminding me. I needed something else to hyper focus on after I get done skimming through these cookbooks,” she teased.
“There are board games in the cabinet near the record player. Have you seen those yet?” the man announced as he worked on breakfast. Y/N let out a little squeal and went to inspect.
“We’re going to play all of these. Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, Jenga, Backgammon. Have you played any of these before? I’ve only played Backgammon with my grandfather,” she asked.
“The only thing I have played in that cabinet is wizard's chess. I will play them all with you as long as we can make a wager,” he smirked back at her. “I’m game, get it?” she winked at him.
The man let out an exaggerated grumble as he returned to the food. “Girls, I’m sorry. We are stuck with her,” he whispered.
Y/N went back to the kitchen, taking out some vegetables for Sam's breakfast. “Do you miss when I couldn’t be in the kitchen with you?” she asked curiously.
“The only thing I miss is when you would purposefully rub your body against mine if you were sneaking past me,” he remarked.
“A solid move, honestly. You are just as much of a flirt. Constantly finding ways to touch me or tease me in some way,” she replied while cutting up carrots. The man huffed, “Flirt, I never,” he pretended.
“I still remember in Potions class, after we started sleeping together, of course. You would never miss an opportunity to graze me with your cape or touch my foot with yours while inspecting my potions. My favorite is when you would wait until I was alone in the storage closet to block me in. You still can’t stop undressing me with your eyes while I stand here talking,” she replied cheekily.
“It’s called giving proper respect when someone is speaking to you,” he teased before returning to the food. “Do you undress Minerva with your eyes as well? Do tell,” she chuckled.

“Only you, babydoll,” he smirked back at her. After a bit, Severus brought the plates of food to their table. Y/N had already moved the girls over beside them. The man had made hand sized pancakes in the shape of a heart.
Y/N had the same pancakes but neatly arranged on her plate, alongside crispy potatoes. “This is too cute, I cannot. Wait, don’t let them eat them yet. I need a picture of this,” she chuckled while getting up to grab their camera from a coffee table.
She quickly snapped a picture of the girls in their high chairs with heart shaped pancakes. “Oh my, I’m trying not to cry, this is so sweet,” she said with teary eyes. “It’s just pancakes, Princess. It’s nothing to cry over,” he said with a soft expression.
“It’s so much more than pancakes. You are just wonderful. I don’t tell you that enough, how much I appreciate you. As much as I love my own father, he never doted the way you do with the girls. I just really appreciate that about you.
You never try to get out of your responsibilities with them. Sometimes you can be rather pushy about it to be honest. I just think that is lovely. Anyone can say that they love their children but I see it from you,” she confessed with a little tear trying to escape her eye.
The man just listened patiently and replied, “I have to be pushy because their Mama is rather greedy with them. I appreciate your words though, Princess. That means a lot to me. You are an amazing Mama as well. I love how passionate you are about the girls. That being said, we are moving their cribs into their room tonight. There is far too much echo in that room for us to quietly make love,” he said.
“Ugh I’m glad you brought that up. I had forgotten we almost suffocated under a blanket trying to keep it quiet. Girls, your Papa is right for once. You’re being evicted,” she announced to the girls who had already fallen asleep in their highchairs.
