Thank you. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I really liked this a lot. I felt so bad for Rachel's dads when she just up and started calling Shelby mom.

I think your take on how they would react is very realistic as it's obvious they love her a lot and want her to be happy, but I don't think anyone could not be hurt at least a little by her so obviously wanting something more than they can give her.

And I loved that they have a table at the dairy queen, it's so nice when people write those kinds of scenes for her, because I don't think the show ever will show her interacting with them as just a daughter.

So in short, because apparently I simply cannot leave a two line review, well done. And thank you. :)

[arishako]

Thanks! :D

And, yeah. I kind of wanted them to be hurt, but not, like, angry. I guess I was just trying to make it so that there wasn't a clear-cut "bad guy."

Thanks for reading and reviewing. Long reviews are like cherry pie. ;)

Mmm, this was really good. I like it a lot.

[arishako]

Thank you! :)

I really love this and all the moments in her life. In the episode I found it really sad that Rachel so happily jumped to her mom when her dads have done so much for her but things like this, with moments that show more clearly what she struggled with is very good. :) If only the writers could do the same:)

[arishako]

Yeah, when I first saw the episode, I kind of had a raeg! moment. I'm glad you enjoyed my take on what happened in-between. :)

I don't think she jumped to her mom. She said she never looked in the first place because of her dads. Since it was dropped in her lap of course she would be curious.

I wish Ryan Murphy would get a clue on have her dads on the shwo already.

[arishako]

Oh, of course. I wasn't trying to fault Rachel for wondering what it would be like to have a mother. I hope my fic didn't come across that way...
