Good lord, woman! One more chapter? Impossible! Maybe Draco will let go of Ginny. The tighter he tries to bind her to him, the more she protests. But I think the witch doth protest too much! Maybe she will realize that she has what she wants when it's gone but who knows with your unpredictable Ginny. See you at the final showdown! Thanks for the update! -fallenwitch

Author's Response: Haha, yep, only one more chapter -- it'll be up on Sunday! That's the good thing about updates being delayed on day because I was out of town this past weekend -- fewer days to wait for an update! Ha! You have to remember that all the loose ends may be tied up, but may not be tied up in the obvious fashion (or in the way that everyone expects them to be tied up). *smirk* Sista, I got surprises up my sleeves. Happy endings aren't always so obvious, but you know that (and that's why we love your fics!). I look forward to seeing what you have to say next week! Until then!

Awww, I don't know what Ginny is looking for Draco to do, it seems that he hasn't tried to say "I love you" to Ginny. As usual, I look forward to the next chapter when Draco snaps out of it and does something about it. Maybe have Narcissa, point Draco in the right direction?

Ginny is soooooooo oblivious. I love Draco in this one! Keep up the good work, I love it!

Mwahahaha. Pregnant again, are we? You know, if she weren't so horny, she wouldn't have nearly so many problems. Then again, so would almmost everybody, I believe. ^_^ Not that sex is bad, or anything, just that if we didn't need it so often, we might be able to have one less problem when we end fights by shagging instead of talking because we don't shag when we're mad.

Good job, by the way. I really liek this story. I do think some of Jayden's baby talk is a little unrealistic, but most of it's good. I don't really know because I have only what I remember from how my younger siblings talked when they were that age, and different children have different confusions with the English language, and different lisps.

Author's Response: I've got several nieces and a nephew that I based the baby talk on. Well, I based a lot of Jayden on him. Anyway, I don't have kids, and lots of people have found it unrealistic -- but I did my research and the best job I could do. Thanks for the review.

Author's Response: Well, okay, just for you though. Lol! Keep in mind the stoyr has been totally written for over a year now.

Ouch!
Three things are running through my mind.
1) Why does Draco feel that he can't give her what she wants? Is it because he doesn't believe she loves him and one of the things she wants is to fall in love?
2) Ginny is bordering on pathetic. Her defensive anger and projection of all responsibility for the pregnancy onto Draco is not only primitive and regressive but creates a vicious cycle of causing more and more pain for herself. Sad. Very sad. Double ouch!
3) I am intrigued by your use of sex in this story. It seems to be the only true thread of communication between these two and serves as metaphor for their feelings about each other. It is particuarly striking in this chapter. When Draco fails to reach Ginny in every other way, she accepts the sexual advances he offers in an attempt to console her and ease her emotional suffering, NOT for any sexual gratification on his part. Ginny, who cannot accept anything else from Draco, accepts his comfort in the guise of sex. Interesting.

Just some thoughts from the peanut gallery. I know you'll bring these two around. They are so obviously in love with each other, although a bit lost in communicating it in a way the other can hear. Interested to see what this new pregnancy does to the explosive stew you've created. If I were to complete the metaphor (including Ginny's "Freudian slip" by not casting a contraceptive charm, etc.) then they are firmly in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together - married with two or more kids. Sorry for the long review. Thanks for the update, as usual!

Author's Response:
No! The long review was WONDERFUL! I get so excited when I see more than, "Great chapter. Update soon." I'm guilty of leaving those sort of reviews more often than not, but I attempt to say something pertinent (as you have done here) at least once every couple of chapters. Thank you!

I agree that Ginny is bordering on pathetic, but the person (a real life one!) that I was basing her on was also becoming pathetic at this point in her life. The circumstances of the story are far different that those that happened in real life, but the story is based on true events.

I'm glad that someone besides myself was intrigued with this type of sex. My intrigue is the primary reason I made the characters use it in such a way.

I am fairly certain I have two chapters left before the end. I'm sure it ends far before most people would like it to, but that's the brakes! LOL! I assure you that they "come around" -- LOL!

Thank you again for the great review and I can't wait to read more of them -- I get so excited when author's of stories I love review my own writing!

Poor Ginny, she really doesn't get it and Draco is too big an emotional dolt to explain himself well. Well, this news ought to have him whooping with joy. Now if he can just figure out a way to make her believe that he wants to be with her because he is in love with her, not just because he doesn't want to give up a convenient situation.
