    Im a little confused on the timelines of things. If James and Lily were married (happily so i assume) when Harryvwas born, why does Harry has Severus as a middle name? But also, why let him be her doctor-- did he and James become friends after Harrry was born or before? Also, not to be nitpicky, its just that all the Severus praise is a little over the top. It just feels too forced, everybody in this story loves Severus oh so much and he's apparently super sexy (so no greasy hair or crooked yellow teeth i hope) and hes the best doctor and potioneer ever

    Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

    That birth scene fully showed the competency of Snape as a Healer. Were you ever in that kinda situation? How ever did you know so much about the details?

    I mean, when I read that part, I was so very inspired. You see, i am going to further my studies in medicine, so... that'll probably be my job sometime in the future. And reading about that, I don't know, I guess it sang to me. I wasn't so sure about my decision before, especially when it comes to this obstetrics business, but recently I've came across so many things and especially this scene, it's.. I guess I'm not deliberating anymore. I almost cried when I read about the birth of Severina. Though I reckon I'll faint like Amy did. *twiddles fingers*

    I read this offline, so I couldn't review earlier, and in every chapter, but this fic has really touched me, especially between Tobias and Sev. Amazing, amazing job. Write more!

    Wow being in the medical field myself, having nothing to do with OBGYN, that was a great description of a woman giving birth, also something I haven't expreienced yet. Awesome job with that, sometimes it's so funny to see Severus in such a caring and wonderful profession. Absolutely loved Harry and Severus going out to dinner, he reminded me so much of my cousin's at that age, and all the things you go through when you take children to a resturant. Hope to see more Sirius and Moony in the future. LES

    Author's Response: Yes, I know, but this is not the same Sev we know from the books and I wanted to portray him as a little different, less uptight and bitter and angry (except when it comes to Tobias).  And Sirius and Moony might just pop up again in a future chapter!  Like they popped up in this one, I wasn't planning for it, but all of a sudden there they were!

    Beautiful chapter! Loved it all and I especially liked the part when Sirius says, Whaddaya got a rule for everything, Sev?
    Priceless!

    I do the same with my kids. It's important to give them limits and rewards and consequences.

    Author's Response: Thanks and I agree with that policy, if kids have rules and consequences they behave much better.  I learned that from my mom.

    You nailed the delivery scene, girl! I ought to know since I'm an OB myself! Nice to know that you did your research and did a great job showing what goes on and how people react to it! Awesome! The letter was excellent and the dinner after just too cute!

    Author's Response: All right and I'm relieved that I did it right, since I've never had kids or been inside a delivery room in my life.  Thanks for your review, I really appreciate it!

    I enjoyed this chapter alot. The baby delivery scene was interesting and I found it sweet they named the baby after Sev. Glad Tobias is trying and that he wrote Sev that letter, it's one step to making amends. I really liked the dinner scene, Remus and Sirius are fun characters and the whole scene was very amusing and enjoyable to read. I like their friendship and I hope to see more of Moony and Padfoot ^^.

    Keep up the great work, I can't wait to read the next chapter!

    Author's Response: Yes, Moony and Padfoot might make another guest appearance later on and Tobias hopefully will show Sev that he is sincere and will remain sober so he can be a family once more.

    Excellent chapter, I think that Tobias is finally beginning to see the wonderful person his son is, his letter to Sev shows this. Sev’s reaction to the letter shows that there is hope for reconciliation between the two.
    I think that it is important for recovering alcoholics to get support from those that they love; without this support many go back to drinking, but the person himself must want to change, if not the family’s effort would be wasted. It was right for Sev at age 18 to leave as Tobias did not want to change, but now I think he wants to. He realises what he is losing and knows he must stay sober in order to keep it. I think Sev needs to forgive him (not just for what he did for Harry but for what he did to Sev all the years). Without Sev’s forgiveness Tobias may not make it. I think it could also be a sore point between Harry and Sev, as Harry wants his grandpa (and has already forgiven him). With Harry around Tobias stayed sober for 3 months and that is saying something. I think with Harry around and Sev to keep firm guidance they can keep Tobias sober. Even a picture of Harry could help.

    Author's Response: Yes, you are correct and I think that Harry is going to be the glue that holds this all together, at least in the beginning, until Sev begins to trust Tobias more and forgives him, that forgiveness is important, as you pointed out, because the unforgiven can turn bitter and decide it just isn't worth it, what do I have to live for, ect...They all need each other to make a whole family.
