Hahaha. By the way, I really appreciate the accuracy and fullness of details about the EMS stuff. Not that I'd know, really. Your writing is so good that the transition from proposed gap-fill to canon is seamless. Great!

This was fantastic! I just loved the idea of Peter being a paramedic, and this story fit that so well.

In the first chapter, when you mentioned the Fergie video, I was like, "wtf is this person talking about?" So, of course, I wikipedia'd Milo and found the video, then watched it, resulting in me having "Big Girls Don't Cry" stuck in my head during the duration of the story. Totally worth it, though! Now I will think of him whenever I hear that song. :)

Loved the story and the reference to Caitlin at the end of the chapter. Peter is one of my favourite characters, and your version of him reminds me why, every time.

I love the realism you bring to this story, both with you crisp descriptions of real procedures and your quiet understatement of what being an EMT means. This fit just seamlessly into canon, and it was exactly the kind of fic I didn't realize I wanted until I saw it. :D

The ending was very poignant with Hesam finding the newborn and looking forward to telling Peter about it and then, of course, Peter not showing up at all. :(

Good job and thanks for sharing. :)

And what had to torture Peter more than anything else that day, was that if it weren't for a certain madman who unfortunately shared half his DNA, he WOULD have been strong enough to save the man. Either that, or he would have been able to heal him with nothing more than a syringe of his own blood. I know it would drive me insane, and I'm not even HALF the person Peter is.

Fabulous and awesome, and I love the Caitlin reference, I might actually have to go read more of your writing now... Thanks for a great snapshot into the life of Peter Petrelli through another man's eyes.

Saw the naming-thing coming. The second she said "Irish," I was thinking Caitlin. I miss Caitlin. I know a lot of people don't like her, but I really did. She reminded me of a toned-down clone of myself, I guess... Anyway, I really like this.

Peter's career shift was always so apt, and I'm glad to see more about it.

Well done!

I especially liked the poignancy of Peter saying Caitlin. Aw.

Side note to Tim Kring: See it's not that hard!

Also, I laughed at the reference to the Fergie video. lol

Thanks for posting and I can't wait for Chapter 2.

Wow this is really well written.
I look forward to reading more!!
