*laughs* I love the ending- and how House had 'ESP' and how Wilson passed out... AND of course, the Titanic/Billy Joel joke. Mostly because I get it. =]

Good story... i like wilson as a father figure... thanks!

*sobs* Why do your stories make me cry? I loved it! Can you do a sequel?

Oh, oh, oh. You just ended my curiousity about the baby. Thank you. It was killing me.

Johanna is truely a genius little girl. Smart yet innocent. I loved her POV. House was portrayed her in the right way, and so was Wilson-passed out! I love it.

Sorry I can't message you back. New account rule, blah.

Perfect :)

I love when House and Johanna get together. (I would LOVE to read a one shot with them during her snarling, petulant teenage years... hehehehe...) He's such a...well, you know :) The arm graffiti is hilarious.

Wilson passing out was just classic - and the idea of House finishing up! As a support person or delivering the baby, I wonder? Ugh. I don't imagine your Cameron would ever let House stick his head up her skirt, even if it is to deliver a baby.

I had a good laugh at the thought of WeepyPregnant!Cameron, and then one of those aw moments when Johanna realises she gets to have two families. And then the hug. Yeay!

Really, it's the perfect, fluffy ending to the story. It's not too sweet, it's funny, and it's heartwarming. I love it. You've left me with a smile and personally, I think that's a great way to remember a story :)

"When House heard those sad excuses for names, he said it sounded like they had both spent too much time listening to Billy Joel and watching ‘Titanic’"

I loved that part - those are seriously the most hideous names I've ever heard for a child!

I really enjoyed this whole story (even though my lack of reviews might have suggested otherwise...I'm HORRIBLE about remembering to review)! Even though I'm a diehard House/Cam forever omg fan, seeing her end up with Wilson was a nice read!

Can't wait to see what writing you've got planned next! :D

Sniff. Nicely done :)

At first I thought this was an abrupt ending; but I gave myself a minute and reread the last line, and then suddenly, the whole focus of the story shifted. And it's lovely. That last line is really great - it changes the entire story. It's a real light-bulb moment. It not about possession or family or missed opportunities, history or grudges or any of that. This story isn't really about the medical issue, or even so much the complicated relationships. For me, it's about these characters choosing to be happy, despite what's happening to them. Though they achieve it to varying degrees, that's real character growth. Yeay for them!

Anway. I love Wilson's reaction to 'the news'; good for him being so lovely about it :) The moment where Hilary yanks Cameron out of the room was great. I like that for just a moment, they understood each other. I don't know that they could ever be friends - not with all this stuff between them - though once upon a time, they could have been. But it's nice that there's some kind of truce between them. The moment with Shawn and Hilary at the beginning was good too. Especially knowing how Hilary has behaved (FLIRT!) and what she's been thinking while she's been all stressed. It was nice to see something sweet between them. There are lots of similarities between Shawn and Wilson. Was that intentional or did Shawn just turn out that way?

So yes, lovely ending. I would hope (batting my eyelashes) that we get to see Johanna's thoughts before you finish with this entirely? She's been a bit quiet since she got smacked in the head (teehee!) Anyway. Thanks for another wonderful story. I'm still impressed with what you can do with these characters, and the people you've created for your stories. You have a lovely style, and the understanding of people and relationships that you demonstrate is very insightful. Keep it up, and good luck with your next project!

-squee- I must say that the Wilson/Cameron ship is one my favorites, and you wrote it so perfectly, in RIP and TTB. I'm watching you, because you have become one of my favorite authors. Keep writing! ;D

She's WHAT? Oh my, this is going to be fun. I know Cameron can be blun sometimes, but what a way to spill the beans! You were absolutely right - it makes me think of that nightmare she had a few chapters back...snigger snigger. It's so nice to come home after a very long trip away (I'll tell you about it later) and have a good J. Daisy chappie to read :)

I love that she slapped Wilson right after she hugged him. I'm not normally one for violence (oh, who am I kidding?) but he deserved that. That's a scene that's going to replay in my head many times...mahahaha!

"I suppose this is how I know I’ve changed; my favorite movie used to be Rambo, and I don’t recall any mother-daughter scenes." One of my favourite lines of this chapter, because it says a lot about Wilson and his progression in your stories; and it does it with a joke - my favourite kind of deep and meaningful angst.

Of course, Shawn's "Why do I feel like I kidnapped her?" and "Family, I realize, is chronic" are also great. He's really being decent about everything that's going on - and he's being very nice to Cameron which I approve of. Not that it really matters. He's also a very, very brave man to ask a woman if she's expecting like that - he took his life into his hands! There's no such thing as a rational pregnant woman. Despite Cameron's usually lovely nature, all those hormones might just make her slap him...he's lucky she was saving it up for Wilson then, eh?

I really enjoyed this one. I'm still very shocked at the way Cameron let her secret slip, but I think it's nice that she trusted Shawn enough to let him help - when she only just met him, and after everything that had been happening. Maybe, like he did, she sensed something of 'family' about him? Does that mean good things for the future...or perhaps not? Then again, you can't have them getting too comfortable.

You're doing such a good job with this story, it's a fantastic read. Keep it up! I hope that that the writing is going well - I'll keep an eye out for your next update :)

BRILLIANT! Loved it. Can't wait for more.

You may smack my hand for being late again. Real Life does not like me. And on to the story...

Tricky! This is going to be interesting. I can totally see Cameron and Hilary hating each other on instinct right away, when really, they should be good friends. Can't wait to see how you play that.

Hilary is a bit of a cow! Thinking about Wilson like that - bad lady! He's NOT YOURS. Along with her thoughts in earlier chapters, you have me wondering if she's really as nice as she appears. If that's so, you've handled it masterfully - you'd never realise it right off. If it's not personality and it is just stress, you have me wondering if she's gonna blow her top some time soon. (Either way is good...lol)

I really liked Cameron's conflict - so glad to hear Wilson's voice, but furious with him too. Sigh. Poor woman. She's going to follow them, then? That's good. And the social worker too I hope.

Oh, the story you gave us about Johanna's birth was sad. Cameron is so mental sometimes, but I will say that pregnancy hormones do mess with your head and your perceptions, so fair enough. But if she believes that if she doesn't give things up, she'll have them taken from her... what does that say about her intentions/hopes for her relationship with Wilson?

I liked the song theme, by the way :) Keep up the good work!

Great Characterizations JDaisy!

i had to go back an re-read your the first part of this series - coz i got lost, but i'm with ya now!

:O drama!!

Can't wait for the next part!!

This situation just seems to get worse and worse. James certainly had good inentions when bringing Johanna out there, but 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' and he didn't really seem to think out what would happen once arriving. And Allison really deserved to be told- without being across the country. She ought to be there with them...

The one thing that I don't really get is why Hilary and Shawn are so close to Johanna and consider her their daughter, yet when Allison first called up the adoption agency, they said she was still in the system and that no one seemed to want her...

Me again!

Another very well written chapter. I do enjoy your style, it's so easy to picture everything happening. I can see it going on in my head, which is fantastic :)

Just a caution; while it was nice to get inside Shawn's head a bit and get to know him, (your original characters are GREAT) just remember that while this universe you've created is begging to be explored, this is still a House fanfic; a large part of the focus needs to be on the characters we're familiar with. I would hate to see the story lose touch with the things that make it so brilliant. I don't think you'd ever let it do that, but I thought I better be honest. All your hard work deserves that.

Now, big kudos go to Shawn for pointing out to Johanna that if Wilson isn't actually her father, than it's illegal for him to give consent for the transplant. He loves her, but he's sensible. And I'm uncomfortable with Wilson just taking off with Johanna, without so much as discussing it with her mother, so I am glad that someone is questioning it. (I wonder if Shawn will get suspicious? Hm... ACK! Stop distracting me.) Now don't get me wrong, I love that you've written it into the story - lots of drama makes me happy - but it's good to have a little disagreement with the characters every now and then. If they were perfect all the time, they'd just be annoying.

I was a bit confused by Wilson at the last. I wasn't entirely certain what he was concerned about - was it that Cameron hadn't contacted him? If so... he's being a bit of a dope really. Technically speaking, he's kidnapped her daughter, and is considering illegally giving consent for a dangerous and painful procedure that he has no right to give consent for. Whatever else Cameron is feeling, not sending the cops after him shows enormous amounts of trust on her part.

Well you're certainly setting the stage for something big and terribly complicated, I can feel that coming, and that's very exciting :) Keep up the good work, and keep enjoying what you're doing. It shows when you're having fun with your writing. (And finally - teehee, silly girl whacked her head...kids are funny.)

It's interesting to see the two 'fathers' react with one another. And I wonder what will happen once Johanna wakes up, as well as how the entire thing will play out... it has to be so hard on them.
