I absolutely loved this! Being in the midst of Valentine-making with my own kids today, I know how sweet it is to be the recipient of those lopsided hearts. :)

The significance of Valentines Day can change once you have kids. I enjoyed seeing Remus, as the stay-at-home-parent, making sure that Tonks got a chance to partake in this new kind Valentine's Day experience.

Pretty sure Abby is adorable. I'm impressed, because so few people write children well, and you really did it fantastically.
Bravo

I really don't get on with the vast majority of fanfic children, so it's a testemant to how well you wrote Abby that I liked this. I thought it was immensely sweet, and a couple of touches you threw in (like Tonks fearing for her ears during their game) added a note of amusing realism that kept this from ever being sacherine. My favourite bit was Remus' apron, though. Very neat idea, and a really good use of your prompt.

Remus's apron is a hoot. Though, I can't help thinking that "Maruaders do it like animals" would somehow be appropriate. *sniggers*

I love Abby, and I'm not too partial with fanfic children. She was written wonderfully, though, and I loved that she picked out the Valentines dinner. Hotdogs, macaroni, and olives. Priceless. :)

Great work!

I am such a sucker for good werepup fic, and you've pitched Abby just right here (which gives me a good guess about who you are). The dinner is hilarious and adorably child, and letting their little one pick the meal is something I can very much see Remus doing, ever conscious of the fact that Tonks doesn't get to be at home every day, letting her get a taste of just what goes on. And it's very romantic, too, in a way.

Love Remus' apron, as well.

WEll, there goes my theory that you wrote this, and changed "Alba" to "Abigail."
