Thanks for reading!

This is wonderful. I love dad!Shawn, and you've pulled him off nicely while still keeping him in character. And it really makes sense to me that something made Shawn return to Santa Barbara.

“Gus, don’t be the Michael Jackson CD I accidentally microwaved last week."

Love it!

Oh, those are court records detailing the battery case the Chicago Police Department built against the father after responding to a domestic violence call at Miss Ramirez’s residence in August 2005. It appears she agreed to drop charges as long as he relinquished custody.

Uh, please tell me he was framed or set up or something, because I really can't see any incarnation of Shawn doing this. Nor do I want to. He's always so happy and cuddly and non-violent. :(

Have I mentioned that I love this fic? Because I love this fic. And I NEVER read fic for this fandom. Okay, hardly ever. But this is really, really good.

Excellent job!

Hoping for an update soon. :)

Aw, thanks for your nice review! I'm glad someone else enjoyed this chapter's "Gus, don't be a ..." joke. I went back and forth on that one and decided if anyone could *accidentally* microwave a CD, it would be Shawn.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I've seen a lot of people explore the "Shawn has a secret kid" theme, but I didn't find any that I felt nailed the reactions of the other characters around him, so that's what I'm hoping to explore here.

I'm hard at work on chapter three and hope you'll drop back by when I post it. I'm hoping to update about once a week, give or take a day. Thanks for reading!

What an interesting story so far. Great start. Color me intrigued. :)

This is such an interesting story. You are doing a fabulous job at balancing many themes here - Shawn as a dad, everyone's reactions, the new twist with Shawn's arrest, the humor, the interwoven flashbacks to explain everything, etc.

Really, excellent work! I cannot wait to read a new chapter! :D

[turquoisetumult]

Don't know if you even get these messages, but just wanted to come back and say that I am still eagerly anticipating a new chapter and I hope this story is still being written! :)

[em2mb]

It is! Just after I started this story, I was offered a new job three states away, so I'm currently in the process of packing up all of my belongings and moving to Indiana! I promise regular updates will come once I'm settled in.

I'm glad you're reading and enjoying. :)

Gosh, that's quite a move! Best of luck with your new endeavors!

And YAY! I'm excited to hear that there will indeed be more of this fic! :D
