Ah ok. We'll, the answer is pregnant. The way I thought of it was 'pre' from before, 'gn' from say GoodNight, and your disheartened aunt is remove the 'u' to make 'ant'. Pregnant :) makes sense in my head, but then again, I made it, so it would.

In crossword convention, disheartened aunt would be AT.

Congatulations, btw!

I'll see if I can come up with something.

I see, in my head I thought the 'your' might help suggest it's just the 'u' to be taken out. This is why I came to you guys. I never realised there were so many rules in these little cryptic clues :)

That's much better, even I can see how that one works :) helps when you already know the answer, but still. The last thing I want is for her to look at it every day and spend hours struggling to work it out.

It's nowhere near perfect, as the "surface" doesn't make much sense.

Any other offers, guys?
