<3 <3 I really do love this one! (Okay, I love all of them, but this one having the different focus stands out even more.) I like that Laura and Carson are different -- they're not going the typical route and that works for them. I like the bit about not having to do the childbirth thing, but adopting instead. It fits with the DWB thing.

Yeah. Love all of this. :D

<3 Yay! I'm glad. Yeah, I like that they aren't the same sort of couple as John and Elizabeth and Tony and Michelle. Or at least that Laura isn't, but also that Carson is willing to do what would make her happy, even if he would rather have something more extravagant.

Thankie!

I love this one! *squees* Carson/Laura is amazing and their unconventional ways are fitting. I love how you write these two!

The conversation between Elizabeth and Laura was so great. And the girls night was fun. This was my favorite: "Last I checked Tony and I weren't joined at the hip. He's not a puppy; he can get his own food and water. It's just his treats that he's a little fussy over"

Although, Tony with a baby? Such a damn great image! *clutches ovaries* Totally understand Michelle's reaction. Tony + Baby = amazing.

Thank you! I really really loved this story, and then I started feeling less and less confident about it, so I'm glad it works.

Hehee thank you!

Yes, Tony + Baby = guh raised to the power of guh, but some extra guh on the side. ;)

[etamne]

It totally works. It was perfect. Everything I wanted as I was reading had a payoff. LOVED!

And that's just not enough guh. It's battered in guh, fried in guh, dipped in guh, and then you drink some guh to wash it down. *sighs*

I love Carson/Laura! They're so cute together! The Tony/Victoria bit was cute too! Poor John, I bet he's jealous, now! :P

Great fic! I'm still loving this AU!

[astrum_presul]

Thank you! I do too, love Laura/Carson, that is. And yeah, John is definitely a little jealous of the Almeida charm. ;)

I love that I can read these know and really know who all the people are besides Tony and Michelle.

Loved it!

[astrum_presul]

Yay! I'm glad it makes sense now!

Thank you!

Great as always! ♥

The speed that Elizabeth used to get them back to her house was the only real indicator that she was worried, which Laura figured was pretty good for it being her first trip away from the baby.

Awwwww. Poor Elizabeth!

Thank you!
