Perfectly Imperfect, But I Wouldn't Change A Thing (by Jen) - comments

Wow fantastic chapter!! Cute name too - Gabe . And of course all the totally inappropriate Dex comments at all the wrong moments!!

[Jen]

Red Ranger - I noticed that you commented on the ring in one of the earlier chapters, but I had to resist saying anything like, "Yes! You noticed! It'll come back later!" so as not to give anything away.

Miranda - Ha! Well, this is the part where I confess that I only have one more small part written. Originally it was tacked on to the end of Month Nine, but I split it up, so now it's separate. So, that'll be coming next and then it's the end .

ldscott - I'll make sure you get a little glimpse into Romeo and Indi's new life before wrapping this whole thing up. This story originally was going to be a couple of thousand words of just, hey Indi gets pregnant and Romeo doesn't know how to deal and Dex is slightly weird. I never intended for it to expand to as big as it ended up being. So yeah, there isn't much left because if I make it too long I risk it dragging and I get bored very easily when writing these sorts of stories. I need lots of angst to keep me entertained.

Carina - Timing is everything. When else was that going to happen?

soph1303 - I spent so long debating the name and whether it was going to be a boy or a girl, and then Nicole actually had a boy on the show and then needed a name. I went through quite a few before deciding on Gabe. I just, I wanted it to fit, is all. Dex is just generally inappropriate at the best of times.

sorry I haven't read this until now. That was a nice chapter and a Gabe is a great name for the baby whats next Indi and Romeo get married was it a wedding ring or am I getting carried away now wonder how Romeo and Indi will manage with Gabe now ?

look forward to more

Ooh sorry for a late reply. I thought I had already commented.

Aww Gabe an adorable name.

Ooh the ring & the waters breaking

Looking forward to the next part even if it is the last one.

pembie - In my mind the ring was more Romeo's way of committing to Indi. It is first subtly brought up in Month Four, but back then Romeo was really doing it because he thought it was the right thing to do, not because he necessarily really wanted to actually get married. Like Romeo says, he's not proposing anymore, because that isn't what makes them a strong couple -- it's being together, and finally talking about things, because they obviously have that connection that brought them together in the first place. They don't need to get married to prove that. I think having a baby together is a big enough committment for now.

Zetti - I'm so horrible at picking names for babies or original characters. I always go though many before I settle on just one. I couldn't decide whether Indi would something a bit obsure (she is named Indigo after all), or would want something traditional. Romeo got no say in the matter!

Me and my brain, I'd forgotten about that.Nice bit of foreshadowing.Incredible to think it's now canon, isn't it..?

Amazing chapter

Update soon please xx

Brilliant chapter Jen.

The sheer exhaustion of looking after a constantly crying baby, feeling alone in the night while everyone else gets precious sleep, while you are desperate for sleep but unable to because you have to tend your baby, the image of Indi asleep holding baby Gabe. I've been in that situation so, so often, baby asleep in exhausted mummy's arms. I've even just walked away from my crying baby and gone into another room cos I physically was at breaking point and couldn't carry on without sleep. That's when you get the baby's father to take over as Indi did.

I expect people will laugh at the funny old lady again, but be warned, young people. Bringing up a child is the hardest thing you'll have to do, nothing but nothing is harder. You'll all find out

Well done Jen, great story

[Red Ranger 1]

Awww, that was a really cute ending.Well written.

[Zetti]

Well done
