I'm glad you posted this story here. Poor Severus--after facing DEs and the Dark Lord and Nagini, he doesn't know how to handle childbirth.

I actually don't much like reading birth stories because I had such problems with my own (though both kids are just fine now). But I like that you acknowledge that labor is worse than Crucio. That made me laugh.

Author's Response: I'd like to keep posting here, but all depends on the validation issues. My fingers are crossed. I've "met" a mod who has been a HUGE help. Glad you enjoyed the short. another is in queue. Dani

:) And to think I thought you'd disappeared. This one shot was great.

Author's Response: I almost did. I was having great difficulty getting the story through the queue, but thanks to Hannah, we seem to have fixed the problem. There is another one-shot coming up. Stay tuned. Dani
