It's such a good chapter!Poor Severus, his mind is a real mess. Could you imagine planning to love your wife and son because you love them? Talk about misguided love! I really wanted to step inside the story and shake him (or kick him in the...) to make him realise how stupid he was. Luckily, his mother set him straight.And I loved Ben, he seemed such a happy baby... I wonder if he'll be a Slytherine like his father...

Very realistic take on Severus' fears of being like his Dad. I went through something similiar after my daughter was born, I thought she would be better of without me because I would only screw her up, but I learned running away is never the anwer. I'm glad Severus had his Mum there to get him to see the truth of the matter.Great chapter!Livvy

Severus fretting over his son--that's about the most bittersweet thing I've read!  Lovely chapter. 

Haaaa Haaaa- Oh that was good - him leaving without her - that was funny as Hell. Her standing there in labor waiting for him to come back - that was gold.

Nice to be able to get to know Eileen.  I always thought that she'd be the parent Severus inherited all his attractive qualities from.  This is just how I'd imagine her.  Instead of OBHWF ad nauseam, this is what I wanted from JKR *shrug* and you've taken care of that plot bunny nicely.  Oh oh--I take it that Severus heard of Hermione's 'nuptials' via the DP? 

Good for Eileen, she got fed up and left Mr. Snape rather than let him walk all over her. I can't think of a better or more appropriate woman (other than Hermione, 'course) who would give Severus the TLC he so richly deserves.  (I'm no LEP fan so. . . *meh*)  But I confess to being a bit befuddled--did Severus portkey? apparate? to his Mum after getting bit by N. or is this right after he did the Vertical Tango w/Herms?

Whee!! Not only is Snape going to be a father, he's alive!!!!  Didn't think he wanted Hermione to be an unwed mother, even if it was only *shudders* temporary.  *whines*  *wants to go to their baby shower*

I'm glad that Hermione's preggers (no surprise). No one is more deserving to have his family line continued than Severus Prince Snape.  I just wish that she and Snape did it the old-fashioned way , the good ol' innie-outie, instead of the WizWorld's answer to I.V.F.  Yes, ITA with the other posters who pointed out that Bill makes a much more suitable candidate for the mysterious red-headed man than Ronniekins.

wow, that was funny

Spectacular!!!  I love the image in Harry's glasses.  How creative, how devious, the lengths we go to to get them together.  Thanks.

Thank you very much, tear of laughter are still running over my face and I get these weird giggle attacks. Can't wait for "Son of my right hand" to be born, so hurry with the update.gab

A very sweet and lovely distraction!  Can't wait to meet the baby.

Wipes coffee off of keyboard . . .  Perfect wizarding equivalent of the expectant husband--disapparating without her!

ROFL! I love how he left her behind. Can you imagine how many wizards have done that same thing to their wives?

This is just so sweet! I love this Severus - tender and caring and distracted enough to forget to bring her along on the first try. That little boy (and I can't wait to hear the actual name!) is a very lucky fellow! And the gently elucidated lemons were perfect!

Making Severus disapparaiting alone was such a great idea, I was laughing aloud in front of my computer, I'm sure my sister thinks I'm insane.Update soon please, I would like to know the child's name

Ah, fluffy goodness, a perfect way to spend a lunch hour! And a christmas baby too, how sweet. I want to see what name they've picked, if my bible classes from childhood serve me right, isn't Benjamin 'Son of my Right Hand'?

Great chapter, thank Merlin for Ginney!I also thought Severus forgetting his wife on the trip to St. Mungo's ws a hoot.

Typical expectant father in a blind panic.  Fabulous chapter.

That ending was hilarious! Another great chapter.Livvy

a lovesick puddle of gelatinous goo  But that's exactly how we like our Severus!Such a lovely piece of fluff this is!   And how nice to have that final Shrieking Shack scene replayed.  I'm glad you're planning to take your time with the wrap up, especially as we still have a consummation devoutly to be wished for!  Lovely, lovely.

Loved the latest chapter and how you twisted DH into it was her that he was looking at through Harry's glasses and not him - what a good idea. Cannot wait for your next chapters.

Bless you.   You did not make me wait too long, He can budge up to me anytime.  Lovely,

Oh, I KNEW there was another explanation for Snape looking at Harry when he thought he was dying! Why, you did not even leave us with a cliff-hanger, saving Snape's version of what happened at the Shrieking Shack for the next chapter... (;-)) Great story!

I absolutely loved the scene where Severus bites on his thumb and his mother tries to stop his fretting. A Snape with nervous manniersm... How cute! (but we won't tell Severus he's cute, he would not take that very well).And I liked the discussion between Hermione and Severus, they seem to have a very strong friendship.Maybe you could next post a scene between Harry and Eileen Prince, where they share their respective view of Hermione and Severus? It could be fun.
