Yes! An update! Yesterday I was reading part one and you muse have heard my telepathic imploring for a part two. XDDD

Wow, though, Gerald certainly isn't giving up on the reverend thing. *cough* Sorry, I mean Nathaniel. Damien hasn't been a priest for a while.

Question: so, if I get this right, Damien's not really working, but living off of the "hush money" that the church gave him?

I can't wait for more! I love your style; it's reminiscent of the books, but it also has its own flair.

Gerald's going on the assumption that Damien is in Jaggonath and his child is in the church, so he must be a Priest again ;) And Damien was pretty much given compensation, because given how much he gave up to do what he had to do. Hopefully, I'll be able to clarify in the next chapter, but it's amazing how off-track things can go when a child is involved ;)

No way! I wouldn't have thought! :D

So he's just kind of a stay-at-home dad? Cool! Damien would be a great (single) househusband. I can totally picture him making smiley-face pancakes while wearing an apron.

Man, someone needs to illustrate this story *wishes she could draw* I've never had so many great mental pictures in my life. XD

My favourite image I'm stuck with at the moment is Jen, with her mop of curls, standing on a chair beside him at the stove and cooking with him :) And Damien, being very, very basic when it comes to cookery.

“You managed to produce a tiny female replica of yourself, Vryce,” the man replied. “I can’t help it if I find it charmingly amusing.”

He should be worried, given how much trouble a single Vryce got him into. Now there's two of them!

I'm really looking forward to seeing where this is going. And whether Damien will be the only one to get kicked in the shins. ;-)

I'm actually rather concerned by how much Jen is developing. I don't need more than a few chapters of this. I certainly don't need teen!Jen hitting on not!Gerald.

I adore this story. It somehow manages to avoid all the pitfalls of "cute child" stories. *glee*

I have to admit that was what I was afraid of. I have seen waaaaaaaaay too many badly done characters-with-kids fics.

Best line ever!
