Kelly, you are the very reason I love this pairing.  I enjoy stories with couples who go on adventures, and find themselves in crazy situation, where lots of drama ensues.  But with these two, I really don't want any of that.  I love seeing just snippets of their everyday lives.  They have a fantastic dynamic and they don't need any wild plot or fancy backdrop to make it work.  The nickname two peas made me smile, but even more so was Minerva's response to why she hadn't told them.  Severus can be difficult and prickly, and unlike a certain young lady with which he is often paired, this isn't Minerva's first rodeo.  She has the life experience to know how to handle him without compromising her thoughts and feeling on matters.  Dumbledore and his meddling chair had better be supportive.  Lovely story, thanks for sharing.
