This chapter made me feel sad, but in a good way because your writing is fantastic. Very emotional. Love how Wilson was there for House, and they dealt with it maturely.
Oh, I loved this section. It surprised me a LOT, because I pictured it so much darker and more angsty, and that's precisely what I love about this fic--it goes there but it doesn't GO there.
So basically I love everyone here. Wilson, the BFF that beats all BFFs poor Allison who had to deal with hell and thinking she'd lose her husband too. And House. Oh, my House.... he's grown so much over the years. I love that he didn't have to betray his gruffness to convey to Allison what she means to him and that he felt the loss too. I loved this line:
“I’d already lined up some necessary accessories for the rugrat,” you say, and you think about how both of you had been keeping your excitement tamped down and how it hadn’t save either of you any grief.
Yeah, I could have gone a lot darker, and even considered it, but it just didn't feel right to me. Maybe it's due to my own fertility issues, but I don't think they would have gone as far as attacking one another. I think they (particularly Allison) would have stopped before that, knowing that their best supporters were each other and mindful of not ruining that.
Maybe it's due to my own fertility issues, but I don't think they would have gone as far as attacking one another.
And I think this realism really comes through in your writing. Only a person who has gone through these tough issues can really lend a voice of experience to make it truly three-dimensional. I'm not criticizing other fics, but in matters that are more emotionally involved, being able to give them a voice is really important. And you've done so beautifully.
Perhaps at some point, we can all celebrate a little enchanted_may!

It's beautiful to see how House has matured since being with Cameron, and whether he wants to admit it or not, she has changed him, at least a little, for the better.
“Could you shut up while I’m baring my soul here?”
I love this line, as House provides a little comic relief to their situation but can still maintain some gruffness while he bares his soul.
You don’t realize how much you want something until it’s gone. Now I know why you didn’t want to try in the first place.” It’s the best you can do to tell her that you’re in pain too.
So glad that House (and cameron) finally released some of their feelings. This is exactly the way I would imagine House sharing his feelings and pain.

Gah! That just broke me in two.
