This was lovely! I like the thought of everybody pitching in to help paint the baby's room and Mary talking to her unborn baby but feeling silly about it.

I also had to giggle at Isobel and her disappearing and the fact that she was terrible at it at the beginning. xD

This sort of fluff was exactly what I needed.)

Aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

So much fluff!

I LOVE IT! :D

Yay another mathew and mary story,fanfiction is sadly lacking. Don't worry it wasn't to sickly, but what I need right now. I am freaking out about a major assessment that I have and this was the perfect distraction for a couple of minute's so thankyou very much, you have just delayed a whole few minutes of complete brakdown. Anyway brilliant story and I agree silverduck is great!

Thanks
Elise

aw, ducklings!

I would never have considered myself into M/M but this is just so adorable I may well be converted yet!

Excellent work!

The scientific part of me just has to point out that expectant mothers and paint fumes don't mix. Of course, this is 191x, so what would they know?

Otherwise, very cute! And poor Matthew, surrounded by women, babies, and now his study being taken away...

That was hilarious. Mary's reactions to Matthew were spot-on. Who knew watching paint dry could be so entertaining?

Well you know I'm not normally a Mary/Matthew shipper however this story had me floating on a sugar high!

For a start, I'm a sucker for babies so huge tick for that!

Secondly, a pregnant Mary? Would love to see that!

Thirdly, it was sweet and so romantic and made me actually LOVE them as a couple! So very well done for that! :D

Last but by no means least, Mary talking to her unborn baby was adorable!
I loved it! :D

Wow Rose that was beautiful. It was really enjoyable to read it and watch the paint dry xD You make watch paint dry interesting! I love how well you described everything and how know how to put on Mary’s shoes.

I love motherly Mary- a real joy). Then Matthew a very enthusiastic soon-to-be daddy- another joy! It was really good Isobel’s and Sybil’s cameo."They were just such an adorable couple and I can really imagine their married life being like this (most of the time!
I agree with Laura here _
This is a really sweet and adorable story of a proud woman getting with grips on motherhood.

I just adore this. I can't even tell you how much! I love how adorable Matthew is, it's wonderful. I love the paintflicking. I love him helping Mary to paint. The duckling obsession BRILLIANT. Gratuitous kissing always helps.

It's just wonderful!

You've captured beautifully a wonderful aspect of their (potential) relationship that I was discussing earlier today how they are wonderfully affectionate but never sappy. Mary and Matthew just do not do sappy. Yet this is so sweet, and so loving, without ever touching sappy. Brilliant.

My favourite line is actually this"Mary did not reply for a moment, but rested her hand lightly on the top of his head and swept back the hair from his face in a gentle caress." It's just such a beautifully affectionate moment.

Okay, I'll stop gushing now. But I LOVE it (in case you hadn't guessed!).

Eeeee! Love it! Happy whatever celebration to you too! D

So good; loved the idea and your writing as always is amazing!

You've done the impossible and made me LOVE babyfic (I never love babyfic!) But this is the exception. :D It's terrifically sweet, but never sappy thanks to your wonderful characterization and dialogue (and it's also kinda hot at some points...how did you do that? Babyfic is never hot! Amazing I haven't gotten an Easter basket in years, but this fic was the most perfect "grownup" Easter basket I could ask for. Loved it. You're fantastic. Write more M/M anything, please. :D

I had no doubt that you could make drying paint interesting! It was lovely and cute and so Mary! x

This was super cute, although I am a little horrified at a pregnant lady breathing in paint fumes!
