I was very happy with that ending. It's so nice to know that they endured the worst of it and can now go on with their lives. I was worried in that last chap that perhaps Tim/ben was dead for good. Calleigh's worry was coming off the page. Nice job.

i like this story but I really think you should write a sequel

i think you should write a sequel to t5his stoy. I enjoyed it.

Oh my! I wasn't expecting that. So Tim has died, twice? Poor Calleigh, no one should have to go through that. Or was it a ruse, to make them think Tim/Ben was dead? You definitely need to give us an epilogue. I want to know if there is any chance this family will get a 'happily ever after'. Nice job with the suspense and the surprise.

Oh, I am very happy that she finally discovered his identity, and that they are finally getting down to business, or at least trying to. They definitely deserve some. I loved how Ben/Tim was surprised that Calleigh promised Danny his prized bike. Loved the ending to this chapter, it was so sweet. I'm wondering, too, how the kids knew. Looking forward to the next update.

I finally got caught up and really enjoyed the chapters I just read. I find myself wanting to push Calleigh and Ben together just as Eric and Valera do. I love seeing him comfortable with the kids. You've included nice details, which makes the story a pleasure to read. Looking forward to the update.

Happy New Year!

Nice update; great image of Ben and the sleeping children. Keep it up.

I love this! Can't wait for more!

Interesting...very, very interesting. Great chapter (and no apologies about the angst, being angry can do that - I know I did it with some of my works recently, ha). Anyway, I am enjoying this very much and look forward to your next update.

I am dying to not only know more about Ben but to see more interaction with him ans Calleigh. Oh and I love Valera and Eric together - there teeny married squabble ("it cancels out") was hilarious. Great job, update soon!

I love Love and a 45! I'm enjoying following your story. Love the dog and cat bit. 'I'll think about it' is a mom's favorite phrase. I look forward to more.

Great fic! Can't wait for more!

I was totally thinking about Love & .45 when I read Ben's description, haha. Anyway really great update - don't apologize for it being short! You've got me hooked and I can't wait to see where you take this. I love the IM dialogue too. Great job!

I am definitely intrigued to see what happens. Great update; am looking foward to the next part.

I'm intrigued. I like the idea that she is corresponding with this stranger she is intrigued by. What a tough life she's had to lead, living away from Tim and never knowing if or when she might hear from him again. Will look forward to the next update.
