Thank you! Blame mariagoner for the adorable; I don't generally do cuddly on my own.

^.~ I didn't know whose kid it was until the end.

Such cuteness :)

Who's the other demonic half of the parentage?

Thank you!

Finally! Now that I have time to sit down and fangirl more thoroughly...

Eeee, I love you so much for writing this for me! It's so sweet and tender and warm and heart-tugging in just he right places, just the sort of thing that's perfect for a pick-me-up read for the wet, rainy, gloomy days we've been having as of late.

I love the tenderness in the interplay between Larsa, Penelo and the baby... and the surprise you build in as well, that doesn't allow a reader to get complacent for long. (It's whose baby?

I'm so glad you like it! I started to write a more family-like piece, but Penelo didn't want any part of being an empress. I spent most of the fic thinking the baby was hers (but not Larsa's), so the truth was a bit of a sweet surprise to me as well.

All I know about changing babies I learned from diaper commercials, so I'm pleased it came out cute. ^.^

You're so very welcome; thank you for the adorable prompt! ♥
