Lovely! Love that Jim figured it out when he was going to have a child of his own and how he was honest with Bones.

I have to admit to being a sucker for Jim with David and seeing that he finally got his son to raise was wonderful as was the developing friendship and more between Jim and Bones.

Well done!

Thank you kindly!

I really wanted to explore the Jim/David relationship in a different setting and writing a contemporary AU gave me the opportunity. I feel like most Kirk/McCoy writers forget about him. Many of them (myself included!) like to toss Joanna into the stories as a possible source of tension between Kirk and McCoy, but we overlook David consistently. I do like the way it ended up shaping this story.

You already know how much I love this, and do not need another round of begging/nagging for a sequel, so...

My very favorite thing about this was seeing Jim deal with the trials of normal life in such a Jim-like way--with creativity, good humor, and determination. Jim as a loving father absolutely kills me dead, and there were so many authentic slice-of-life moments. I love Jim/Bones for the maturity and realism of the relationship, and it doesn't get much more real than a couple of single dads trying to carve out a little time in the madness for themselves.

Sensitively done and fabulous!

Thank you, bb! It doesn't hurt that I have you to help me clarify my thoughts when something just isn't working. And you may still get your wish for a sequel. The more I think about this story, I find that I still have more to say.

Very sweet. Love the idea of both of them with kids and juggling each other.

Thank you! It seems like no matter how much I try to go for the angst, I always end up with hearts and flowers. And my family thinks I'm a pessimist; they should read my fic.
