Great Chapter! I feel for the Slattery family. It's definitely mixed feelings about the pregnancy, I get Christine's feelings but I am glad there was some joy and happiness. The family and Mike deserve as much happiness as they can get! I'm glad you came back to this story and look forward to the other new stories that might arise in the future :)

I can totally understand how poor Christine would feel! It should be a happy time, but given all they've been through, her worries are not unexpected. Good job Mike is the calm, logical one, but Whitney makes me laugh!

Oh my goodness! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this and can’t wait until you update! I’ve always loved this storyline!

Read this way back and really liked the story even though it was about Mike and his family. :) You wrote very well about how he took in little Kaito to raise as his own and it was nice to see him reunite with his family.

Hoping you do another update on this at some point! Love this story!

have missed this story! but thanks so much for the happiness in this as we need more just in general and yeah loved the ending! haha didn't expect him to sing but the take out dinner was great! :)

This was oh so Mike and Christine knows him so well and loves him dearly. This was sweet and homey and who knows what could happen after Whitney gets home and goes to sleep. Loved it.

So many happy feels! I like when you come back to a story and add on more. I love the progress the Slattery family has made and also really like how very down to earth it all felt. Mike and Christine's Valentine's sounds like the best date/time to me. Though, I'd minus the champers as I'm a total Cadbury. Great addition!

Great chapter! I loved Mike's protective papa act, when he's really just a big softie at heart! Despite forgetting Valentines Day, I think that was a collosal score for Mike, getting Peter to cater a Valentines dinner just for them!

Just wanted to say this entire story was fantastic! I am SO thrilled to see Mike getting to have some happy in his life-he deserves to get a little love and happiness back too. Would LOVE to read more about the Slattery clan!

This was so cute!
Mike going overboard with presents? Who would have thought!
I love how the girls are "You're get in ti touble with mom!" But enjoy it as much as he does!

What a fun epilogue! I really liked that we get to see their Christmas and family antics. I love that even though it's not shown you can feel that Christine and Mike are in a good place even if they might be a little stressed out or in Mike's case buying too many gifts for the kids. But it was good to see them all getting along like a 'normal' family. Kaito just melts my heart!

So adorable! I love this glimpse into their family. Thanks for posting.

Loved this epilogue. So glad you wrote it. Love Mike and his family including Kaito. I can just picture the little fellow. You have the characters so much the way they should be. Happy Holidays.

nice to see them all happy and mmm I want some of Sasha's lasagna! :)
