Many thanks, again, to hereswith, for editing and helpful suggestions!.

Embryonic ship's cats

Ohhhh! Of course Jack appreciates a competent feline. This is wonderful, touching and sad and very Jack and Elizabeth ♥

Jack doesn't seem to be overly fond of animals, but I can imagine him appreciating cats at least. I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you for commenting!

No contraception, even for cats. Nice to see Jack managing to save the day for someone, if not the someone he'd most have wanted to help. And, yes, kittens can make anything better.
I especially liked the glimpse of respectable Jack (outwardly respectable, anyway).

I expect that would be something of a problem. I wonder how many cats would be an optimal number on a ship.

He'll get tired of that, soon enough.

So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you very much for commenting!

You made me cry! The groping for his hand and the tears and their grief...broke me.

But yay for kitties! They make things better.

I also really loved Jack's thoughts about her/them as he was out walking. Reminded me why I love them as a pairing.

Oh excellent! I mean... oh, dear, sorry to have made you cry. And yes, kitties always make things better.

I am so happy you liked it. Jack and Elizabeth are awfully fun together, even being angsty like this. More soon, maybe by Monday.

Your icon is quite perfect for it.

I don't particularly like cats, but the image of ELizabeth and her feline friend is just too cute :)

Thanks for sharing this with us :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, in spite of the cats. ;) Thank you for letting me know.

More than anything else (and there is quite a lot here to love), I love Jack being made so insecure by the miscarriage. He's just so clueless and raw in his emotions. How worried he is that he'll be made to leave her side for further 'upsetting her'. Makes me all wanting to hugs him. Glad Elizabeth has a warm fuzzy to cuddle.

There is quite a bit of miscommunication and false assumption in this story, but it will all come right in the end. I'm very glad you enjoyed the angst as well as the warm fuzzy. Thank you so much for reading, and commenting! I do appreciate it!
