"Oh, my dear." Remus' voice was soft, and he shook his head. "First of all, you couldn't be your mother, because you are a person of more intelligence, and because you've already seen how you don't want to be, right? Parenting is always scary, but you have to remember that you and Zach are in it together. This won't make you drift apart, it will bring you closer together. A child definitely increases the love, not diminishes it!"
He could see Debi was really disturbed, and he reached out to touch her cheek gently. "You don't have to worry about your looks. No one is as beautiful to a man as the person who has borne his children, trust me. And you are forgetting that you're a witch, with an employer who is mated to a Potions Master. You don't have to look one bit different after than you did before, unless you want to, but frankly, I think women look better after they've had children. Before they are girls, and after they are women. Yes, I know I'm gay even if didn't have Severus, but who is more honest about appearances than a gay man? You're lovely now, and you'll be lovely after. If Zach was expecting you to 'look the same' forever he would have chosen a plastic doll, not a real woman!"
