Thank you for the birthday present, Quags. You've made my day. :) I love it - and once again, I can really picture this happening. Not just adopting two more children, one of them older, but the interaction between Josh and the kids as you've written it.

It’s not me you have to convince,” I reply quickly before she has a chance to really start.

Hee. Josh would definitely put the responsibility for saying no onto to Donna.

If you want to see something funny, get her started on what ‘cat people’ are like.” Well, it helps if Donna is already pretty drunk, but we’ll leave that part out since we have minors in the room.

This made me laugh. :)

Thanks again. This is a great way to start my day. :D

You're welcome, Watz! Glad you liked it! It only took me forever to finish it! :-)

The whole "cat people" was inspired by the scene in The Supremes when Donna objects to Josh classifying Donna's parents as "cat people." I thought it would be funny if instead of Josh showing his own biases, he was teasing Donna about hers. And then there's that slightly cagey look Donna gives CJ during Dead Irish Writers when CJ says that she could own a cat.

Awwww. Love it! I want to know more about how things work out with Mike.

[quaggy_mire]

Glad you enjoyed it and that you became that invested!

I think there is still some rough patches ahead, but things will ultimately turn out okay. Mike's not a bad kid, not really. He's just difficult and dealing with whatever trauma that led him to be orphaned by 12 or 13.

Hee! You wrote J/D! And it is adorable!

[quaggy_mire]

Hee! Thanks, Zinke! (Don't forget I still have the drabbles in the works. There a fair amount of J/D mixed in with those.)
