Ann 2007-01-02 ch 12, anon.	abuseOh, please update soon!
Alice in June 2006-07-11 ch 12,	abuseLovely work. You've balanced out your use of metaphors: 'the sun a kiss of orange on the horizon' When you say that, I can visualize the sun and not an orange. I hope that makes sense. Your writing has improved. It's great to see House and Wilson interact because in my opinion their relationship is one of the best things about the show. I like that House is making progress (I know he is) :). As someone said, I like that you balance humor and drama so well. Great job, once again. PS: Take your time to update, relax, get inspired and have fun. We'll (or at least I will) patiently wait for the next chapter :D.
J Daisy 2006-07-02 ch 12,	abuseWell, originally I wasn't going to review this but I happened to come across your profile and gosh darn it! I simply can't ignore a message like that! (Although it was probably referring to your CSI fic, 'cause this is just wildly popular last time I checked but I don't watch CSI so...) Anyway. So I read this chapter, forgetting all those beautiful metaphors that made it so popular and keeping only the premise (which, unfortunately, has become somewhat trite. It isn't used as often in the HouseCuddy stories as it is in say, HouseCameron stories, but still. Anyone who glances at the updates page even once a month can see that it's polluted with OMGCAMMY'SPREGGERSWITHOUSESBABIEOMGOMGOMG!1!!1!) in the back of my mind. Ahem. So, imagine my suprise to see how beautifully this chapter is(was? It's an awkward statement.) written! I know you've gotten some reviews saying that your metaphors and descriptions muddle up what is really going on, and while it's absolutely gorgeous to read, not a lot gets done. I have to disagree with those reviewers. What I hate about TV shows and such is that when something big happens, a character will break off all contact with the world saying, "(I) need time to figure things out." And just remain static the rest of the season. Hello MORONS, unless you are seriously just going to sit in a lounge chair and THINK for the rest of the arc, then figure things out WHILE proceeding with normal life! It's relevant because (yes! it is!) House is applying the a similar logic to dealing with the pregnancy. He's not really willing to commit to anything or anybody just yet, but you can tell he's making progress. He certainly has a long way to go and it's obvious he won't suddenly morph into an everydad anytime soon (frankly, I don't want that ever to happen, but you get what I mean), but he seems to have overcome the two-steps-foward-one-step-back phase. Am I making any sense? Probably not. Just ignore this then. =]
Spuffyshipper 2006-06-15 ch 12, anon.	abuseGood story.I love Pregnant!Cuddy stories,especially Cuddy is Pregnant By House!stories.They're the funnest stories.I love being one of the few House/Cuddy shippers out there.All I need is the first season of the show,since I missed most of it.Update soon.
Chromo26 2006-06-13 ch 12,	abuseAgain, you updated! But you're bored? How can we interest you again? quirks eyebrow. Well, if it helps at all, this was absolutely beautiful. I loved both House and Wilson's epiphanies about eachother and Cuddy. And as someone who has been here from da beginning, I'd like to say I'd be very unhappy if you stopped. It would be a tragic blow to Huddy fanfiction. Think about it! ^_^
Scrubs 2006-06-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseI have nothing to say that hasn't already been said. But, I'll say it anyway. That was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. You had the perfect blend of drama and humor, of House's snark and Wilson's concern. Out of all the chapters, this one has been my favorite. You focused on character through dialogue and thoughts, unlike in the other chapters, where the descriptions seemed to drown out what was going on with the characters. Everything in this chapter was excellent. Grade: A+ Effort: 10 [Thanks Waffle.

Thank you for using me...” Executed by injection, Texas. - John Cockrum, d. September 30, 1997
manda 2006-06-12 ch 12, anon.	abuseamazing. i love the H/C pairing. great job
FallenRogue 2006-06-12 ch 12,	abuseBeautiful. Simply beautiful.
lijep 2006-06-11 ch 12,	abuseSo yes, now the whole world knows I'm a "win-at-lifer", but honestly, Sara, you make my beta'ing job ridiculously easy. Actually, that's not true. I had to read this chapter about five times on my email to look for beta'ing duties because I kept getting lost in all the wonderfulness. I'm not here to get off-topic or anything, but when I'm bored I read old reviews and things and on yours for one of my stories you were talking about "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold. Isn't that just the greatest book ever? Ahem, back to this chapter, now that I've sort of rambled for a couple paragraphs. I'll repeat everything I said in the email to you. I loved the metaphors as usual, due to the fact that they were beautiful and used very well. You manage to pack a ton of emotion into a relatively short chapter, adding the slightest bit of humor with the repetitive (but not overly so) alliteration. Wonderful, awesome, as always. ::Sighs:: I wish I was a great author like you. --Kerry
Lizzy 2006-06-11 ch 12, anon.	abuseI feel so little. I'm so horrible at giving long reviews. Erm... Very good stuff. :D You're definitely improving. (Remember that chat? *_^) EEP! I am excited for more! :D {hits next button} Wait. There IS no next button. {cry}
Angelfirenze 2006-06-11 ch 12,	abuseThis was amazing, as usual, but I find myself confused. Is there something Wilson sees that I'm just not getting? Is House deciding to still be a miserable bastard, but to add being a father to the mix? Or is he ignoring the child altogether? I need this spelled out for me, unfortunately, because while your wording and phrases were absolutely beautiful, as usual, they didn't make much with the explaining. And I hope I didn't confuse you just as badly.
Alice in June 2006-04-05 ch 11,	abuseAh, that was a nice fic, and you have good direction. I don't think the 11th chapter was rushed or anything :). Some of your physical descriptions are lovely, your characterizations and dialogue are very good. However, your writing style involves too many metaphors and similes, and it often just doesn't let me connect with characters. But I guess that's just because your writing style is not my cup of tea since many others enjoyed this fic :). You've found your voice which is a good thing. I think the best thing about this fic was the third chapter, it was very beautiful in my honest opinion- I loved how that chapter was simple and I could feel the characters' emotions. I loved the House-Wilson interaction (I's slow in the head teacher) and you pulled off the House-Cuddy ultrasound scene beautifully. You didn't make it mushy or oversentimental and you made it work and it was memorable. I could really see House saying it's beautiful. That was touching and believable. I checked out your profile btw, a Wilson/Stacy fic? Count me in. I see that we have similar tastes and thoughts about certain shippings, although Ham (hee hee) and Cameron get on my nerves unlike Sara. Qoute:(Oh, and by the way: Cameron plus drugs plus Chase plus not managing impulsivity equals some very unhappy H-CR shippers and a laughing me.) Oh baby, we're so on the same ship XD. And you're a twin, how cool :). Okay, none of my beeswax but are you two identical twins? On a last note, keep writing :). PS: Now, I loathe it when people condescend to me (dare I say I hate condescending people) but ermm ... not to insult your intelligence but post PMs or replies rather than posting replies on the chapters because FF Net deletes stories like that. I hope I didn't offend you or anything looks sheepish.
Angelfirenze 2006-03-26 ch 11,	abuseYou wouldn't want suggestions for the name, would you? If so, I recommend Christopher or Christian. I have a fondness for those two. I'm also thinking of writing a short ficlet or something where Cuddy absentmindly asks House what his middle name is and doesn't answer her. Later on, she gets a slip of paper shoved under her door that has 'Christopher' written on it. might be mad Hm. Gregory Christopher House. Tell me if I'm crazy.
Angelfirenze 2006-03-26 ch 10,	abusePlease tell me you're going to continue this into the birth of the baby, then onward into House's relationship with his new daughter or son and with Cuddy. I need closure, you see.
Angelfirenze 2006-03-26 ch 9,	abuseI'm not trying to be one of those who gets 'Lost,' honestly. My dilemma comes from not knowing how to continually praise your work without becoming monotonous and repetitive. As soon as I figure out how to do that, I'll get back to you. Or when I reach the most recent chapter. Whichever comes first.
