No. No, you didn't, but I can see where it would be. I just
well
I can't wait to meet Baby, and find out who he or she is. I mean, Tonks and I keep stopping and getting overwhelmed again and again by the thought that we're making a person. But then it all falls in on me again, how we're making a person and we're going to be bringing that person into this world under these circumstances, and for all that Baby's going to have, well, dozens of people who could take him or her in if anything happened to me or Tonks, that thought is enough to start up the shakes.
(And I can't help but wonder how much of all my worry is that we didn't decide to start Baby cooking because we were married and in love and felt like we couldn't not, which leads me to wondering if there'll be any kind of long-term repercussions about that whole rite Dumbledore had us doing, which works me around again to being terrified again, and really, I'm not going to ask "when does it ever get easier", because I know you're going to tell me "it doesn't".)
I mean. I don't regret it. And I can't think of anybody more suited to this mad idea than Tonks and I are for each other, because we might be feeling it out as we go but we can at least talk about it. But ... yeah. A few sleepless nights, let me tell you.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention. Mum wasn't the only one who was upset at the idea of leaving Percy to his own fate. Ginny's taking it hard, she was always very close to him. She didn't argue too heavily for us to do something for him, but it's sitting poorly on her. I don't know that there's anything you can do to help her, but it's something else you should probably know.
