I can see how it would be utterly terrifying, yes. Terrifying and full of hope all at the same time.
I know that you will be an incredible father. You are so full of compassion and love, dear heart. Not to mention patience and common sense. And the fact that you and Tonks are communicating, that you're going in eyes wide open -- you are doing everything you can to make this work for you both as you are, and that's so very important.
The biggest unspoken secret of parenting is that there really is no one way to do things. And you hear stories of how it's supposed to be, and what it's supposed to look like, but that's just a fantasy. You just do the best you can with what you have, and hope for the best.
