Mmmmm ... that doesn't sound *at all* like Avon to me. I would think he'd be fairly indifferent to the child at least until it was born - I really don't see him getting gooey over anyone's pregnancy (not even had *Anna* had his child). Certaibly not one he was a passive and unwitting 'specimen' to (I think he'd loathe that).

And even when born, it would depend on whether he actually liked the sprog (which - given what newborns are usually like - is hardly likely).

But then Avon as doting dad or dad-to-be is a fanfic idea I've seen done soooooo very badly it may have turned me right off it (Susan Matthew's Shadowplay - yeccchhhh).
