Okay I'm looking for other insights into how they think Morrigan would do as a Mother? Personally, with an infant or toddler, I think she could squeak by simply caring for the babe. But with an actual child I think this where she'd end up taking more of a father's role - more disciplinarian and not quite stern but more - like a guide in life. With a teen I think she'd more apt to take a step back and depending on the child's apititude for magic would either be their mentor/instructor or (if they didn't have any magical ability) here she'd be more practical in teaching them how to "live"/"survive" in the world.
When it comes down to it, I don't believe would "Feel like a parent" but rather she'd come to regard her offspring as a friend. Someone she cares for but their relationship is more a meeting of minds than "mother and child". After a while I believe an adult-child of Morrigan's would be more capable socially thanks to being treated as a "person" by Morrigan rather than being babied.
It's hard to say for sure. We all know that Morrigan is a lot softer on the inside than she lets on. But there is more to being a parent than being someone who lays down the law. As the child grows, so does the parent's experience. Being a friend to your offspring, especially at first, is the worst thing any parent can do, yet it's a mistake many parents make. It's not something I see Morrigan doing. She'll understand the child needs a mother, not a friend.
As I've said before, pregnancy changes a woman. Sometimes very drastically. It's something we men will never understand fully. But I think Morrigan would make an excellent mother who teaches her children well. She's a lot more logical than most women (sorry ladies, no offense meant, but it's true) so she does have that going for her. She'd be more driven by the need of the situation rather than by love. But still, I can see her worrying about her child when it is sick just as any other mother would. Not even the witch can escape nature.
Just my two cents.
