This is delightful!! I love the idea of Shikamaru as the favourite uncle (without romantic strings attached, that's fantastic). As long as Kurenai takes care of the hard parts - naturally he'd time his arrival to be right after bath time, lunchtime, and a diaper-change. *giggle* I can totally see him being content to babysit a newborn, which for me translated as "have loads of free time while the baby sleeps a million hours a day". :D (Or was I just really lucky in my babysitting jobs?) I can see them snoozing on the porch together. ♥

BTW I think you probably want "Asuma" instead of "Asume"?

Eeep! *facepalm* Of course I did. *fixed, I hope*

I freaked out when I saw what story this comment was for. I hoped you turned off your editor brain before you read this, otherwise I fear for your sanity. *g*

It really is nice to hear you liked this though. I loved that you listed the parts you liked and that you could imagine stuff even beyond he story itself. I wish I had been a better writer when I wrote this, because re-reading through it to find my "Spelling" error had me noticing things I wished I'd expanded on and places I wished I changed things.

As new to writing as I was when I wrote this, I have to say it's still one of my favorite stories, even with the obvious "noob" stamp written all over it.

Thanks for reading and being so thoughtful in your comments. I really appreciate it.

*giggle* I didn't realize your head would spin quite so far around if I left a comment on this one. :D I understand why you're flailing, I do it too when someone reads my old stuff, though I don't think you have much to worry about. This is really a cute fic, and a fun read.

Isn't that always the way? I see so, so many areas where my older stuff wants 'fixing' - not that they're bad, but I've improved enough now that I can see ways in which they could be so much better. It's all part of the process, I guess. :)

Rest assured, whatever else you might've done with it today, this is delightful as it is.
