Title:  Through Sophie's Eyes

"Little Sophie asks Ryan, why he doesn't call their parents "Mom" and "Dad" like she and Seth do, but "Kirsten" and "Sandy". Ryan tries to explain.

(Maybe Sandy and/or Kirsten eavesdrop?)"

I have never loved a plot bunny as much as this one and I have never seen one prompt get so much of a response. It shows that it has touched a chord in all of the fans here. And your contribution was wonderful, chase. From this: Ryan locked his door last night, an’ I didn’t ‘preciate it!... “Tonight I wanna’ play, too!” - which had me choking, to the brain diseased Seffy, which had me hysterical, to the very end that was an "Awwwww" moment if ever there was one.

“’Cause I might have turned out like Seth, and we wouldn’t want two Seths in the family, would we?” He wrinkled up his face, causing her to giggle. - God no, we wouldn't want that!

“I’ve been your dad for a long time, Ryan”, Sandy pointed out, his voice a bit unsteady... “But I gotta’ say, kid, it means the world to me that you’re finally gonna’ let me become your father.” -- yeah, you got the desired effect from me!

*sighs, while petting the bunny*

This bunny got lots of us adopting it! It was just so cute...

Glad it worked for you, chic. I could have kissed Sophie when she decided Seth had brain disease -- sometimes they surprise us as we're writing, don't they?

Thanks so much!

You're right, chase - sometimes you never know what your charaacters are going to say when they get going!

Wonderful story. Well worth the wait.

[chaseii]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.

That was wonderful. I loved the interactions Ryan had with all members of his family. And no, that doesn't include the Mean Man. Who does he think he is, telling Sophie those things. When Ryan isn't even there to reply

[chaseii]

Thank you so much for your kind words, arualms. I'm glad this rings true for you -- that means a lot to me.

New children really can have that effect on a patchwork-family. And again, your true story lends mine plausibility. So many thanks for that!

Funny and sweet and moving and maybe a little sad, this story is the total package. Thank you.

[chaseii]

Oh, thank you very much!
