Thank you so very very kindly, jackycomelately! You've said so many nice things, I don't know where to start! :-D
I'm glad that you don't mind it being a love story for two couples and you liked that scene with the mother. I had always pictured her appearing during the birth, but I wasn't sure how people would feel about her presence. I'm also relieved that you approve of the baby's name. I was waiting for someone to say, "Brenna?! YUCK!" *g*
I couldn't resist throwing O'Neill into the mix. I thought it would be worth it for his reactions alone, especially when McKay fell asleep on his shoulder -- something I've been picturing for ages -- along with O'Neill wanting to play street hockey!
I'm glad you're still a fan of the footnotes! :-) The Smarties didn't come about until I had Carson in the gas station convenience store witnessing the military pow-wow. It wasn't until I'd added it in that I realized it would require a glossary entry, though that ended up being fun to research. I learned a lot about Smarties that I never knew before! *g*
It hasn't hit me yet, but I'm sure it's going to take some time for me to get used to not working on this story anymore. I hope I don't end up with post-partum depression. As the chocolate bar I just devoured will attest (if it hadn't been devoured and could attest), I've got wicked PMS today, so I don't need anything else going on with my hormones! ;-)
