original: "Great Big Happy Family" (slash)

[caityjay]

So, Aaron and Jamie's extended "family" is such a crazy mess. I'm attempting to fashion some sort of family tree for them, but it involves so many different lines denoting actual blood-relation versus symbolic family ties and genetic parents versus adoptive parents it's a bit ridiculous. Suffice it to say, Dane is Aaron's godson, so this baby isn't

I love the fact that you focused on them later on in life! I feel like there's not enough older couples in romance fiction. This story was so warm and gentle, like…it's like a picture of something I think so many of us want in real life. I would love to have that sort of love and consistency at that age. <3 And how you have two couples who are different and at different stages in their relationships, but you get this solid, brilliant feeling from both of them and their love for each other/their family. Just awesome.

Thank you! It took me a long time to be able to envision them at this age, but I love them just as much at 50 as I do at 20 :) And it's definitely what I'd call my ideal love situation, too! Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3

"But right now, all they want to do is go have sex and sleep for a few days, right?"

Most likely sleep first, sex after. A dose of fluffiness is a good start to the working week. ;)

HA, yes. Jamie, never having had to deal with raising an infant, still prioritizes sex above sleep. At least for the younger couple (har). Glad you enjoyed! <3

How nice to see an older couple :) That's very warm and snuggly.

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate them! <3

Still so very adorable, this one. I love the various dynamics, especially (of course) Jamie and Aaron's. It's lovely to see how they've changed, and how they haven't. <3
