Author's Notes: This started out as 15,000+ words of angst till I remembered it's a familyfest! I don't know how well I succeeded in making it less angsty but I tried. Seriously. Loads of hugs to kc who helped me whip this thing into shape and didn't let the commas eat me alive.

Hey :) I loved the ending, and that the crying baby was not what Draco feared in the beginning. But I definitly would have some choice words with that Healer! Ever heard of patience confidentiality? I am just glad that you resolved everything so beautifully.

And yey for Harry being oblivious and blundering again and again.

So thank you for a perfect piece that combined angst with fluff in a wonderful way!

Thank you for saying that! <3
I was so scared it would be too angst filled!

It took me ages to figure out how to fit the crying baby in without making it really hurt-y.

Aww, it was lovely! The angst was perfect and the happy ending just clinched it. So very sweet.

That was a sweet read even if a bit angsty! I liked the communication with the baby! Thank you! :)

*nods* It did get very angsty, definitely going to pick a fluffy prompt next time. Thank you! :)

This was lovely. I was so scared that the baby crying meant something was wrong. You really turned that around on me! Very interesting concept! I enjoyed reading this, thank you!

Dear mystery author,

The warnings scared me off a bit because I didn't want to read something too angsty but I'm so glad I gave this story a chance.

It was beautiful! I loved the way you took such a hurty prompt and worked fluffy bits into it. :) Draco and Harry's relationship was beautiful and I loved the silent strength Harry offered Draco <3

You've nailed the prompt completely. AND THANK YOU for the adorable ending!

Thank you for giving it a chance! I tired really hard to ensure there were fluffy scenes to balance the angst. :)

That was wonderful. I loved this, I felt for Draco though, suffering alone after everything he went through, thinking he had to suffer alone, but I'm so glad Harry was there for him, that he let him, you know? And that ending, that ending was beyond sweet. :)

While writing this fic, all I wanted to do was hug Draco and then shake him till he realized how stupid he was think he was alone, Harry would never let him suffer. <3

Thank you so much! :)

This was such a lovely blend of sweetness and pain. Poor Draco, what he'd gone through, but I loved how Harry knew all along and was trying his best to be so supportive.

Late reply is late! :(

Thank you! I tried really hard to make sure there was enough fluff to balance the angst.
