Wow, you covered a lot!  I loved how they admitted their feelings right away.  This new 'don't call me Severus' is so caring and devoted.  But now's the big uh-oh!  What are they going to do?  I'm actually glad that they'll be out in the open.  Five more years is a long time to wait to be together for real.  Of course, I'm jumping the gun here and assuming that they'll be together now.  I liked your interpretation of Molly.  She's a pushy, jerk.   You just want to slap her!

Ah, they must have known that their arrangement would not last forever.  Entropy always wins no matter how we struggle...Ron will get a shock--seeing as he and Hermione don't sleep together anymore.  Yikes!  Will we see that confrontation?

So much for the best of plans, I believe everything happens for a reason. It would sure be nice if Ron were to hit HER up first for a divorce before her news becomes known. We will see what happens next. Good for Hermione, selling their old home and moving to another home, more to her liking. Great chapter, looking forward to the next.

She is pregnant. An unexpected, but logical consequence of their lovemaking. Thanks for updating!

Huzzah!!!!  Oh but the commotion this will cause. Carlos won't mind too much I would think and Ron, well, she might have to seduce him just for show.  Ick, I don't think that would read well. . .

Great to see an update to this story.  It breaks my heart that they have to wait so long to be together, but now with her pregnant...  Can't wait to find out what happens.

Chivalric, you are the best.  Great chapter.  Pregnant!  I didn't see that coming.

I was so happy to see an update on this story and ecstatic when I read it!  Oh, I'm so happy for both of them and I was surprised that it took this long for the pregnancy.  Happy ending please *divorce from Ron, the children like Carlos better and all live happily ever after*

First of all, I didn't expect such a long chapter, and I'm so thrilled you did it.
Second, I didn't expect so much time would pass during in one chapter. Almost three years is a lot. But as they had years to go before the two children were at Hogwarts, it's a good thing too.
And Finally, PREGNANT !!!!!! *grinning madly* I'm in heaven.

Honestly, I don't know how they cope with their situation. Just seeing each other a couple of weeks each year and not going mad is beyond my reasonning. I truly ached for them. Of course, everything disappear when they're together, but what of the rest of the time?
I suppose now they'll have to change their plans, as this baby can't be passed for Ron's, especially since he hasn't touched his wife for several years. Plus, the baby might have a large nose and black hair... *grin*
This was a wonderful update and Iwish this would never end. So, I'd like to ask how much more chapters do you plan, so I can prepare myself for the worst. *wink*

Knew this idyll couldn't last without a spanner in theworks.  She'll have to confess to Ron; even if she waswilling to shag him, there's too much risk of a black-haired, black-eyed baby being born.  I'm sure Georgewill be supportive, but things obviously couldn't continueto drift for much longer.  Life isn't like that.

I am glad that Severus and Hermione were able to meet several times a year and get to know each other better. I like how Hermione became pregnant after three years instead of just right away. I wonder what Hermione is going to do about her situation. Ron will find out eventually, so it would be better if she told him before it became obvious to everyone (Molly included!). I love your descriptions of Rose and Hugo and their interactions with Hermione and Carlos. With only a few sentences you convey their personalities completely. I am quite eager to read the next chapter. Please post again soon!

I knew it would happen!!! Ahhhh yay!! This fic is sooo good even though snape is ooc but you've done it so well and in the right way!! Argh!! Can't wait for the next chappie!! Squee!! -Lio-

Oh, dear; looks as if Hermione and Carlos are having their hand forced quite a bit earlier than planned. I hope George stays an ally to her; she's going to need it. I loved the warmth and happiness you conveyed while writing Hermione and Carlos together, and the children's reactions are very interesting.

Pregnant? From Ron? Oh Gods...

All throughout the chapter I have been expecting the proverbial axe to fall. It lurked through the happiness. No, it shone like a beacon. It fell harder than I thought. With Ron sleeping in guest rooms, this will not be good at all. 

Ha... Pregnant!!! Fantastic.... can't wait for the update!

The best 'laid' plans! LOL Really nice, I love that their together! I don't even feel bad for Ron. I must be a monster. I'm guessing Ron is still conherent enough to work that the she shouldn't be pregnant, n'est pas?

Wow! I can't believe I passed up this gem of a story, but now that I've found it, I'm hooked. Oh boy, so Hermione's pregnant? So much for her plan to hang in until Rose and Hugo are both safely attending Howarts ... never mind Ron's reaction, when Molly finds out she'll certainly be out for blood and revenge on her son's behalf regardless of the fact that he's apparently been cheating on Hermione for years. In that woman's eyes, her son could surely do no wrong while she seems convinced Hermione can do no right. I think Hermione's mum is right, she really should confide in George. Somehow I doubt if he'll be too surprised though ... he seems to understand her pretty well. And now I really can't wait to see what happens next!

Great chapter...and WOW! Who ever saw that coming? I really hope this turns out well - and that Carlos doesn't freak.  They both deserve a life together and so much happiness. Please tell me she didn't have a pity shag, or something equally insane, with Ron! He can get hit by a rogue bludger for all i care.

with this chapter i fell in love with carlos even more. this is definitely one of my favorites of the moment. i am eager to see how you get them out of this little conundrum. :) *hugs*

Whoa!  I didn't see THAT coming!  Tell me that there's a happy ending.  Please?

Youar are a marvel - I love this story! Do you have any idea how miserable sand is when you are haivng sex?!  I believe you said 'sand everywhere' - are you nutz?!  You have to be! It really hurt - I don't recomend trying it to prove me wrong!!!!!The rest is simply delicious! The kids are bloody brilliant and she's pregnant?  oops.

Oops. Someone forgot their contraceptive charm! :)

Wow....

Yikes!  This is quite the twist!  Wonderful chapter as ever.  looking forward to more!!!
