I remember reading your post about this story, and thinking at the time that it would be good and looking forward to reading it.

So, now I've read it. And I've got tears in my eyes because I'm a mommy and it's perfect, just perfect. And all I can say is thank you. You got it exactly right. This is beautiful and exactly right.

Thank you for reading and commenting! I am glad that the fic worked for you! (It is funny and perhaps ironic that I started this fanwriting gig because I felt that my identity was being consumed by the spawn... and yet I keep writing kidfic *shakes head and smiles ruefully*)

Wow. I'm kind of choked up, but in the good way, you know?

Thanks for writing this wonderful story, and for making the characters so real it hurt. In the good way.

I've read some mcshep fics where they end up with a child, but this one is by far one of the most original and filled with detail about the in and outs of parenthood.

Holy cow. I spent the whole first half thinking McKay was kind of OOC, and now I am just wowed and amazed and moved and delighted and not sure I have enough appropriate adjectives. John feeling the loss of Xan all at once in the mess -- that hurt. Oh, did that hurt. Loved this story. Thank you.

Thank you for reading and commenting! Writing the first half was hard because I wanted people to think it was OOC... but I also wanted them to keep reading and not backspace away *g*
