Yay! You posted it. And I remember reading parts of this in your apartment over a year ago! I loved it then and now. It's so sweet.

Thanks Gatz!! This is as much your fic as it is Watz's, I think. We were talking about West Wing and then next thing I know it, I'm dragging out my laptop to let you read what I had. (First time I've been in the same room as someone read fic. It's always an unsettling experience!) I remember talking it out with you when I decided to add the Mike subplot. You were such a good sport acting as a sounding board!

I LOVED this one too!!! <3 You wrote this so well from Josh's POV and I'm loving how big their family got. And the part about Donna's hatred for cats. LOL ;) I want to know how things work out with Mike too. ;)

Thank you! I like writing from Josh's POV. I think I can get inside his head the easiest out of all the West Wing characters.

Normally, I see Josh and Donna with only two kids, but it seemed right to me that they would adopt a few more kids if the opportunity presented itself. And some kids have more baggage than others. Mike (on top of being a thirteen year old boy, which is baggage enough) is just trying to deal with everything that's happened in his life, both good and bad.

Thank you for reading! :-)

I'm glad you got such a kick from my quote sidebar! I've had such fun collecting them.

Thanks, hun! I was a lot of fun to write. (When I was actually able to concentrate enough! :-P Stupid writer's block!)

Quaggy rocks. That is all.

Well that and the fact that I love this fic. Josh is so Josh!
