You're too sweet! I'm just so glad I have people reading and enjoying this story, it's really getting me to want to write again! I look forward to your future reviews, and thank you profusely for this one!

Well, we can't expect Severus to be too kind, right? It wouldn't be very nice of me if I left them completely separated for long, though, would it? Thanks for the review!

There is so much to Jessica, I really want to do a chapter in her Point of View, but I think I'll see if you all would like that. As far as her being in Slytherin... hmmm, I hadn't thought too much about which house she would be in! Thanks so much for the review!

Maybe not her POV, but more from her angle. As in her thoughts inserted into the text? It would be easier to write, and wouldn't jar so much as going from 3rd to 1st person POV.

*grin* either way, I'll be reading it.

Albus is such a twinkler, isn't he? But he also knows having a child will be good for Severus. Please do continue reading and thanks so much for reviewing!

Aww, thanks so much!

Oh, I haven't mentioned the details of where Hermione's charge is, have I? I suppose because the story is in Severus's POV, there hasn't been an opportunity. I shall have to remember to put that in sometime! Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks so much for the review!

When I began writing this, I did not intend for it to be this wonderful ball of fluff, however it is how the muse has deemed it to be! Hmm, when will Jessica begin calling him 'Daddy'? I'll have to keep that in mind! Honestly, I never thought I was any good at writing humour, so thank you for noticing and enjoying it!

Oh did I? I must go look and change that, then! Thanks for spotting it, and thanks for reading!

Wasn't that cute? I wrote that chapter a while back, so when I got it back from my beta and read the corrections, even I was like 'awww how cute!' lol, I'm silly! So you think it's the calm before the storm, eh? Hmmm, we'll see! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Me too! lol, thank you for reading it!

It's a treasure to write! Thanks for reading!

Thanks! I look forward to that, as well! lol... The muse is in complete control, I tell you!

Yes, he does feel something about it, doesn't he? But being the stubborn man that he is, he's refusing to admit it! Blaise... well, I do feel sorry for Blaise because I know the true reason he's acting this way! Thanks for the review!

Well Blaise does have a very good, though hidden reason, for Severus to not be caring for Jessica. This will be revealed in Chapter Eight. And I think it's more that Jessica is being great for Severus *wink* Though they are a good match, no doubt! Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review! Chapter Six is up now!

Thanks!

LOL, I must admit the confusion about Blaise is tickling me to pieces! I promise it is just for plot purposes! There is a very important reason why Molly and Arthur took little Maria in, and this reason will come into play a bit later in the story. I will definitely put focus on one or both of Snape's projects...I can't wait to see where the muse takes me with them! As for Percy's boy, David, his attitude will be explained later! Thanks so much for the review!

Hehe, thanks!! I'm not sure if David will come into the picture again anytime soon - for now the story will focus on Severus and Jessica. However, before the end of the story, David's attitude will be explained, I promise! There will be more of Hermione, but it will be a little bit before her and Severus interact too much. Slow and steady, lol... Thanks so much for the review!

lol, I do so love people's confusion to my placing Hermione with Blaise. It is solely for plot purposes, I promise! Thanks so much for the review!

Yes, he is, which has confused Severus and myself, however we have both bowed to the discretion of the muse on that! Poor Ron, I really do like him, however it's so difficult to write him as kind when writing outside of a Ron/Hermione pairing. Ah, yes, Hermione and Blaise, such an odd pair, I know. Honestly, it's just for plot purposes, I will not subject you to any Blaise/Hermione romance scenes! Thanks so much for the review

Oh, I've thought of doing a secondary fic based on the relationship between Hermione and Blaise in this fic, but I'm not sure if I will. They are together for the sake of the plot. However, this will ultimately be a Severus/Hermione friendship/romance, so they cannot possibly stay together permanently! As for Severus making a good father, he and I are both confused, but the muse decided that's the way it's to be in this fic! Thanks so much for the review!

When I first started the story, I did not plan for this to be so easy for him, however, the muse took it that way and who am I to defy the muse? Anyway, Severus will be very confused to hear that he's a natural at parenting, but I'll think he'll survive! lol... Thanks so much for the review!

Thanks for the enthusiasm! It's contagious, y'know! And, oh look, I updated... just for you and your enthusiasm!

You did!!!!????

*runs around in circle like a headless chicken before clicking on recently updated*

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I do too, but I fear that he's so out-of-character that people are going to yell at me! lol, now I must think of something for him to do that's really mean and sneaky and oh-so-Slytherin-ish! Thanks for this review, too!

Nah, children have a way of melting even the hardest people sometimes. Well, our own children anyway, ya know? Plus she's giving Snape unconditional love it seems, and that's likely something he's not experienced before. So, bring on the new layer of Snape and leave his Potter mask in canon (teehee). :) You're doing well.

Oh, I've always imagined Molly as being sneaky and able to get people to do what she wants under the pretense of it being for their own good. Thanks for the review!
