Awwwww! That is absolutely lovely. Seph's perspective is so perfect! She seems happy and well-adjusted and has all the marks of being Kara Thrace's daughter. There's so much packed into this story and it makes me happier than I can say that they're all together, happy, and excited for a bigger family. I'm so happy that Lee gets to be part of the pregnancy and the new baby's birth. Thank you, Ray! It's wonderful! <3<3<3

*happy sigh*

After all the shit I put these guys through, they deserve a happy ending. And I figure what better way to show that they were able to work themselves out than to show the product of it... a happy healthy Sephie, who knows her parents love her and protect her... and a Kara who can deal with shit (even when Leoben pops back up in her life. I wanted to go into more detail but it would have derailed the fluff... so I just left it with the "creepy guy")

I really liked the creepy guy and I figured it was Leoben. I also liked that there were still possibly some Kara/Lee issues (the name thing). Seph's POV was a beautiful way to show the progress. I like this universe. :)

Someday if I have time I wanna write the story of maybe a slightly older, maybe 10 or 11 year old Seph, wanting to find out about the creepy guy behind her parents back.

I figure they probably haven't gotten married because SO MUCH BAGGAGE, though they might since baby #2 is happening. I just want them to be awesome and be good at survival stuff together and sleep snuggled up at night and have lots of sexy sex.... you know... that stuff.

I simply adored this, Ray! It was so much fun reading this from Seph's POV. I love that she has a tough bravado like her mom but knows that it is okay to be scared. I loved her repitition of "not old enough", I use to do it myself when I was her age.

I'm glad that Lee will get to see this pregnancy and be part of the baby's life from the beginning.

Fantastic job, Ray! *happy sigh* Loved it!

Kara is totally Seph's hero. :) (Wouldn't she be yours if Kara was your mom? Lol.) It was really fun to sorta explore their relationship a bit now that Seph was older.

Hee, I totally imagine Lee being overprotective during the pregnancy and Kara being all- I got this. I did this before, alone, remember?

Glad you enjoyed!!

Aw, I love everything about this! My favorite parts were the beginning and the end--I love that Kara and Seph have their own rituals, that Seph is not afraid to jump because she knows her mother will catch her, and that Kara tailored the story of Demeter and Persephone to suit her needs. They so deserve their happy ending. :)

After all the shit I put Kara through, I wanted her to be able to reclaim that story and what happened to her, and just be strong again in a way I don't think she ever got to be in canon. I'm glad you liked it.

Oh, this is just about the cutest, sweetest thing I've ever read. I just love Seph. Her description of Lee and Kara discussing the pregnancy on the porch is lovely and funny too. I just want to hug this whole little family. *hugs*

I like to make people's days filled with fluff and love... about as much as I like to break hearts. Glad you enjoyed!
