I can't believe this wonderful story is over! It was beautiful to have the opportunity to read it. I will wait for more things from you, your writing is perfect!

Thank you for a beautiful story. I was sad to see it end. Now I wait with bated breath for your next story.

What a lovely story. I'm so sorry to see it end, I've enjoyed every installment.

THIS IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING. I love how sweet their coming together is, the joy they've found in one another, their perfect wedding, their trip to Paris, and having Sister Julienne at the wedding was a beautiful touch. But oh, the delivery is the most wonderful part, this reminder of how they met, how well they work together, the joy they both find in doing this work, together, and the way it gives them hope and a purpose for the future. And Harry better gets his ass home! Beautifully done babes this was a wonderful note to end on.

Oh maaaaaaan how do I love this let me count the ways. Ok so first of all, god well done you two. I absolutely love the way they fully embracing this aspect of their relationship and just going for it and enjoying themselves and oooof the smut is Good. Second, I love that Patrick didn't initially think about protection; they're not as young as they once were and it's not likely to be foremost in his mind but he is a doctor and he should know better and I love how that realization crashes in on him. Shelagh not quite understanding what's happened and why he's made that choice and being uncomfortable with it works so well; she has so little experience in this area. And I really, really like their conversation. Shelagh is still Shelagh, struggling to balance her new life and the rules and expectations that governed the old one. But they work their way through the problem together confronting the truth about what it means to be married at this stage of their lives and ending on the same page. It's a conversation that needed to happen and you navigated it well.

UGHHHHHHHHHHH THESE SWEET BOYS! How cute is this? They are so soft and precious. I love how Patrick's understanding of Shelagh informs the ring they choose and I love that he wants to involve the boys in his proposal bc they're family. This is just so. NICE.

Another update! Looking forward to the next installment...

Oh please this is so cute! They find the perfect ring and there will be a perfect proposal!

I love this. Every update makes my day. Patrick's reaction was perfect.

Ooof this is so MUCH like that moment of uncertainty when everyone else thinks Patrick's upset bc he doesn't approve and it takes Shelagh telling him to be kind to make him see the way his behavior has been interpreted? Oh my heart. Patrick going back and showing just how much he loves his son and being so open with him? Are you happy? Are you safe? Ughhhhhhhhhhh i love this little family so much.

This is beautiful because the truth I expected great chaos with Patrick angry with Tim and Shelagh and the whole small family made a mess. But no! Patrick is a good man and knows what it is to love secretly.

UGHHHHHHHHHHH good mom Shelagh! I love love love how this plays out, Tim's uncertainty (bc you really don't ever know how someone is going to react until the moment it happens) and Shelagh using her own experiences as a way to understand him better. She knows what it is, to love where other people tell her she shouldn't, and she knows what a gift it is to be loved, and of course she wants that for Tim. I like that her love for Patrick informs her here; she doesn't actually know how he'll respond, but she knows how he has treated her, how he loves her, how he loves his son, and she can't imagine him being anything but kind (god, let him be kind). And Tim! Poor sweet Tim all worried about his dad bc he can't give him grandbabies I'm cry that hurts my heart lmao Patrick has so much love to give and with only Tim in his life for so long of course Tim would worry. But surely Patrick loves his son more than hypothetical grandchildren? Ugh I love this so much.

Thank you for another beautiful chapter. This story really pulls at the old heart strings.

Poor Tim! You write him very nicely and it's very interesting to write the relationships between the four of them. Looking forward to see what's next (though with some trepidation!)

Ok so you know I love gay Tim. I love the way you navigated his thoughts here, gave us the story of how he and Mike got together and their sweet bunny babies and how they manage their lives despite the judgment of society. But Shelagh knows now! I cannot wait to see what tipped her off and how she and Patrick handle this revelation. Patrick is a progressive sort of man in his own way and of course he adores his son and knows a thing or two about falling in love with someone society tells him he can't have. I just think you've laid the groundwork for such an interesting conversation here and I am LIVING for it
