Love this. I like this little look inside Kitty's head.

Thank you. I had a really hard time with this one.

Little sad, but sweet. Enjoyed the the view point. Thanx.

You're welcome. Kitty has had so many reasons to be sad in her life. :(

Sadly I can understand Kitty's thoughts all too well. My family tends to pick birthdays for such events too...or right around them.

I dont blame her at all for being cautious. Great story.

Oh, sorry. *hugs*

I feel like season 5 Kitty was so out of character, I had to do something about it, and try to put into words what I think someone in such position would go through. I'm glad it worked for you, thank you. ♥

Very nicely done and bittersweet. Loved it!

Awww, Kitty. While she's never been my favorite character, you make it impossible not to feel for her here. Losing a loved one on or near your birthday does majorly suck.

(Did you mean when Nora was pregnant with Justin, rather than Kevin? Since Kitty was turning twelve.)

She figured autarky would be her best tactic against fatality and only hope to spend the day in harmony. This is a very neat sentence! I'm in awe. The rhythm, the word choice... it all just fits. Well done!

Kitty! She's always been my favorite female character from the show. Nora comes a close second.

Did you mean when Nora was pregnant with Justin, rather than Kevin? Since Kitty was turning twelve.Actually, I first thought about Justin, but the timing was off. Kitty being born late September (pilot being shown around that time) Kevin being from mid-April and Justin after Kevin (as suggests the episode with Ida's death) it would make Nora barely pregnant with Justin, possibly not even aware of it unless she had tried for a baby, but it seems unlikely, waiting 8-9 years to have another one when the fourth first kids are so close in age. So I opted for Kevin for that (silly) reason, and forgot to change the age. On second thought, I realize I should stick with Justin. Kitty would be like 6 or 8 when Kevin was born. That doesn't work! Oh, canon, I hate you sometimes! I guess I'll change it back to Justin (and we'll blame canon for the continuity error ( ... )
