hee hee - i know the draw of that sonogram photo; it's true, you can't stop looking at it. very sweet fic! elle babbling about gabriel's eyebrows and hair made me giggle, too :)

I don't personally have sonogram experience (yet!) but I imagined it would be something you'd just want to keep looking at. Very glad that's true to life! Thanks for reading and commenting. I'm really happy to know you enjoyed this, and that it made you laugh. Especially the eyebrow bit, as I can't imagine Elle letting that go by when the opportunity to tease arises. Hehe

"I don't want our son to look, or act, or be anyone but himself," you say. "And I don't want him to think I do. I want him to know that I love him, and that I think he's special, no matter who he is or what he can do."
Bauetiful lines (and story). I wish more parents truly felt that way about their children. Great job!

Not being accepted as they are seems like such a key part of why Gabriel and Elle are both so screwed up, and I think a baby on the way would bring those issues sharply into focus. I'm really pleased to know it struck you as a moving sentiment. Thanks very much for reading and commenting!

I totally cracked up at this: Although you have nice hair, when you're not parting it on the side like a dork or combing it back like a douchebag.

I love the idea that those two can't stop looking at the sonogram and speculating what their son will be like. And Gabriel wanting their son to just be himself is so perfectly sweet.

mrstater February 2 2009, 20:18:23 UTC

Hee -- Sylar's hair seriously cracks up like that. It's just so...well, douchebag was the most apt word I could come up with for it.

I'm always nervous about turning these two too sicky-sweet with the baby stuff, but I never can resist, lol. So it's good to know the other Sylar fangirls don't mind. Thanks very much for reading and commenting!

"Although you have nice hair, when you're not parting it on the side like a dork or combing it back like a douchebag" is my favorite line, too. Loved it!

You know, if you wanted me to melt in a pile of happiness, you could have just asked.

Or you could have written this, which you did, and I love it. LOVE IT.

That's so sweet, for Gabriel to want his child just to be his own person. OMG. I love it.

(I love the hair statement too, because yes and then some XD LOL)

mrstater February 2 2009, 20:24:27 UTC

lol Well I'm very glad this melted you! I know these are not the gooiest characters, but something about the baby scenario just makes them seem like they would be, if for no other reason than to compensate for their own sucky childhoods. Thanks very much for reading and taking the time to say such nice things. :)
