i've missed your writing. this is such a beautifully heartbreaking story. please update soon it is one of my favorites!

Poor Emily. I get why the kids aren't exactly big fans of Donny's, but I'm sure it's nice for Daphne to have a familiar face, esp. since Donny probably isn't taking Niles' condition as hard as the others are. It's nice that the kids get to do normal kid things, too. I can definitely see Daphne wanting them to not put their lives on hold waiting for Niles to return to the family.

I'm glad to see another update on this and therefore I'm glad to see that you're still writing! I hope you never stop! I'm glad that Emily is concerned with how much time Donny has been spending with Daphne because frankly I am too. I know that Daphne would never go back to Donny-nor would he even take her back, IMO-but I think that Niles would be a bit relieved knowing that his family is being taken care of. That being said, I REALLY hope he comes out of this coma soon! To think of him lying there unconscious for so long is breaking my heart! ;( Looking foreword to more!

Aww, I love Daphne "seeing" Hester. I think that was a great idea! :) I'm glad to hear he will wake up too. I hope it comes true! Can't wait for more! :)

I have to admit I knew it was Hester before she introduced herself, and I do like imagining her being the one to bring Daphne into everyone's lives. I've seen this same scenario play out on "The Nanny," but it works just as well here! :) This was a lovely chapter, and I'm glad things have turned around for Niles!

What a beautiful dream! I love that you've included Hester here and I hope that Daphne tells Niles about the dream she had about his mother. He'd be touched beyond words I'm sure! Looking foreword to more as usual!

Really beautiful chapter. I think this is my favorite one yet. :) I love the flashbacks you chose. Daphne's talk with Niles was great. Got me emotional. :) Hope there's more soon! :)

Wow...Now Daphne's going to be in the hospital. I'm glad Niles is ok though. It's nice to see the children getting strength from each other, and the people around them. Good update. :)

Wow, that was absolutely wonderful! I especially love the dream sequence, even though a lot of that is from real episodes! Sigh... Makes me want to watch all of those episodes over again! This is by far my favorite chapter and I can only imagine that it will only get even more wonderful!

Oh, man, there's a lot of emotion here! Poor Daphne, to be going through a thing like this. :( But it's good she's got the support of everyone around her. I loved the flashbacks to so many familiar moments. I know N/D could never forget their journey. Can't wait to see where you take this!

I love love love this story!

Oh, wow, that last bit was rather unexpected! :( But it's good that Daphne has everybody by her side, including Donny. It may seem strange to the kids, but I like the idea that they can put aside their history to help Niles. Can't wait to see where you take this!

Glad you updated this and I'm glad that Niles is going to be okay. I think Daphne is just stressed over this whole thing and I hope that she will be okay as well.

OMG, this is really evil! I'm glad Donny told Daphne what Niles wants, and I'm sure he'd do his best to take care of her if it came to that, but I hope it doesn't! :( I hope you post an update soon!

Arg, should've known you'd end on a cliffhanger...Hope Niles is ok. But I'm glad Donny told Daphne what Niles said. Just hope that doesn't have to happen. Glad you got over your writer's block, and I hope you update again soon! :)
