Aw! What a wonderful story. It's so laced in worry and anticipation that Draco doesn't even want to feel, but it's there, and then he's manning up and being where he needs to be in the end. Yay!

Also, I loved the image of Narcissa and Astoria immediately being so girly and excited about the pregnancy. -grin-

Sorry for being late in commenting, should have been the first. ^_^

This was a pleasant Christmas present. I love how you turned Yule into a background character, unspeaking, unrepresented except for the date of the event, but nonetheless spotlit because of Draco's inner conflict about family and this arrviving interloper. There are also his fears... very sweet, how he already loved 'the baby' without realising it. Because isn't it love when you don't want someone to go through anything bad you had, wishing he/she would grow up lovable and good?

Though the fic centers more on Draco's turmoil, his and Astoria's romance is very much there, too. The kiss on the forehead, Draco's hate of her pain...

Oh, and I love the way you used onomatopoeia to punctuate Draco's ruminations and actions. Tick, tock, slap... Nice employment of literary technique.

Thank you so much for this, hon. Me liked it very mucho!

Oh, wow! I really enjoyed Draco in this. You handled it so nicely. =D

His emotions and just... everything were so nice. I can't even grasp the words, so I'll just say it was so extremely Draco-esque, which is indeed a compliment. =)

I liked Astoria too.

Ah, so sweet.
