„Sunshine”
- Rose's nickname, which only Severus uses (but only after she moved with him and Elias, and was carrying his first grandbabies)
Their relationship grew complicated sine then. With Elias mostly out, working at Hogwart and doing his own potion researches, Severus was the only one to help heavily pregnant Rose 24/7. Brewing soothing potions, preparing pregnancy cravings and massaging her aching body... Man started feeling something he shouldn't. It felt, like he was gaining back the time he lost with Lily. Rose's laughter, teasing and constant neediness of closeness, fed Severus's delusions.
He never crossed boundaries during her first pregnancy. He only was there when Elias couldn't, grabbing attention he knew, wasn't meant for him.
Situation changed when twins (Zachary and Jonathan) were born. Rose's stress, baby blues and worry about new lives were often met with Elias's ambitions to do "something bigger" with his career. It caused many fights and days when Elias wasn't coming back home. Severus, knowing his son was cursed to do similar mistakes as he did, stepped up and took his place to prevent girl from leaving.
Whenever Rose couldn't put kids to sleep - He was there with fairytales for twins, and tea for her... Whenever Rose struggled with clogged breasts, and couldn't feed babies - He was there to prepare hot water bottle and formula... And when she needed to cry out her stress? - He was there to hid her in his arms
Many mistakes were made then. Rose's vulnerability and Elias's indifference, gave Severus a chance, he's gladly took. That's how, within next year, Rose had a daughter (Jasmine). Elias had some suspicions, but after checking out the magic equivalent of a parenting test, he calmed down learning she was "his" daughter (still unaware about his homunculus origin and the 100% compatibility of his DNA with his father's)
This "arrangement" worked only because Elias's dreams blinded him enough, to overlook how dynamic changed between vulnerable Rose (who's the biggest dream was having a big family), and Severus (man who felt, like he gain back life he'd once lost), before it was too late... And being forced to deal with new reality afterwards.
Rose's was slightly caged in Spinner's End, by her love to both men. Elias, being her first everything, and Severus, the one who was there when she needed someone the most.
Was it healthy? Probably not... Did it ruin Elias's and Rose's relationship? Not entirely. She was still the love of his life, wife, mother of his kids (at least the ones he fathered) and best friend... Part of him was hurt, but another part felt relieved knowing she had someone else to tend to her needs, when he just could do whatever he wanted. However his bond with Severus changed completely, leaving them neutral towards eachother (only because Elias still had no idea, about Severus being regularly intimate with Rose back then).
As a result, Rose went through five more pregnancies (Only two for sure fathered by Elias), having her own small army of Snapes (9 children in total) and fulfilling her dream... With two lovely men, who were most happy with helping her achieve that.
I've tried my best with writing it as short as possible. To whoever who's died from cringe, while reading this - sorry, not sorry ✌️
