Apologies to my best friend V. Several of the scenes here were inspired by the night she gave birth to her little girl.

Much thanks as always to the lovely 0penhearts for the beta and for epic ideas for Troy/Abed shenanigans.

Titles comes from e.e. cummings.

This is wonderful, I don't even know where to start. Ok, first- I'm not normally Britta's biggest fan, but this made me want to hug her and tell her everything was going to be fine, because she's awesome and she has people who really love her and care about her. I loved the Britta/Annie friendship and Britta telling her she might have been in love with Jeff.

"She steps forward and hands Annie a little yellow stuffed elephant. “It’s from the gift shop. It’s nothing.”"
That made me tear up, I don't know why, it's just so sweet and honest somehow.

And I hope Britta teaches baby Rachel the beauty of Thom Yorke's music from early on. I wouldn't want to miss out on that.

Oh yay! I'm glad that you liked Britta here and the idea of her maybe being a little bit in love with Jeff. I was unsure at first about including that because I didn't want it to seem like she was hurt and jealous at all. So I'm really glad it worked.

And I hope Britta teaches baby Rachel the beauty of Thom Yorke's music from early on.

I had actually originally had a line in there about how Britta intends on taking over Rachel's music education because Jeff and Annie both have crap taste in music. So yeah, in my head, she does. Lol.

This was very well done. Love the Annie/Britta bonding. Great story:)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

OMG this, I love this so much. I have a big ass grin on my face right now, you don't even know.

I love that this was almost more about Britta then Jeff/Annie and the baby, I love that Britta is so damn awesome, I love that they share a birthday and a middle name! This is like, everything I love about these characters all wrapped up into one story - love love love it.

(I want them all to grow old together. Britta can live above the garage and date men much younger and much douchier than she is, and Jeff will give her shit about how she's just like Pierce until she meets a very nice investment banker who she denies being in love with for two years because he's a Republican. And Troy and Abed will throw her a wedding, and her new husband will be slightly uncomfortable that her first dance is with both of them - yeah both of them - but whatever, Abed's making a movie about them so it's like, research or something. Rachel's his production assistant.)

Oh thank you so much! I'm glad it made you smile.

Until proven otherwise, this is my head-canon. I just want this entire group to be friends forever and ever until they're sitting around a table at a retirement home having the same conversations and teasing Britta about how she says Bah-gel ( ... )

I love this so much!

You even managed to write the whole hospital/child birth thing with a sense of reality. As someone who has been there (9 months ago!) I'm very glad you didn't turn it into the "chaos" that Britta was expecting. Overall, this was very well written and absolutely adorable and I do hope you write more community fics in a timely manor. :D

Good work!

dearygirl September 9 2010, 02:41:50 UTC

Congratulations! And yay! I'm so glad it was realistic. I based it off the night my best friend had her baby and I was kind of Britta in that situation and I remember thinking, "This is SO different than the movies."

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for the lovely comment!

I don't know what else to say besides "you are too good!" I am such a fan of your Community fics, and this one is just another example. Also, I don't think I can add any more to everyone's comments (especially gubeldood's ;D ) except to double them! LOL

I am eagerly awaiting more Jeff/Annie from your brilliant mind. But Jeff/Annie with Britta is the bomb.

Btw, have you imagined any of your stories to belong in one timeline? Because if this one belongs to that epic 5-post fic of yours, the 6-month "hate" period for Britta kinda makes sense, right?

dearygirl September 9 2010, 02:47:30 UTC

Aww, thank you so much. I really just love writing for this fandom. These characters are amazing fun to write.

It's funny because I hadn't really meant to put this into the same universe as any of my other fics but then I realized I had sort of stolen a couple of ideas from the 5-part one. (Like Jeff and Annie betting on who it was Britta had made out with and Britta's 6-month period of adjustment). So unofficially in my head this was kind of an epilogue for that one.
