Please excuse my kirk/bones icon.

This was beautifully detailed and well done. It showed a softer side of McCoy that I think we would see if he and Chapel did get together. The pregnancy cravings scene was great too, especially Jim hiding his disgust rather badly. Good work!

I love that icon! And thanks. I'm glad it was well received. And thanks for commenting! :)

This was gorgeous, thank you! I loved her moments of insecurity, and how wonderfully supportive McCoy was with her. Fab fic!

YAY! I am glad you liked it! I also love your icon!

This is such a happy story. I really enjoyed all the moments that made the crew seem like family (but most especially Jim's reactions to Chapel's food choices--that scene was hilarious).

lol. Thank you! I was striving for something almost teeth rotting happy/sweet. I'm glad it played well. :D

Oh man this just made me sigh and squee all at once. Bones is totally husband of the year material, and I'd be willing to be his wife for a year just to prove it - scary eating choices and all!

Also I was totally amused that the women knew she was pregnant and just waiting for confirmation. And the final scene with all the found family members coming to meet the new baby just felt so perfect!

He he. Thank you! I am glad you liked it. To me found family just fits this particular crew so well. :) And I love your icon!
