I love that the Halperts thriving in Nashville.
Cece has certainly forged a special bond with Oakley. He’s part of her world now and it is lovely to see that Cece finds comfort in him.
I love the sibling dynamics. I’m sure Phil loves his sisters but will do absolutely anything to annoy them too. He will taunt Cece whenever he gets the chance. I love seeing Cece and Ollie being best friends.
Olivia is wild. You definitely got me there when she tried to comb Jim’s hair with a fork. Being the fun dad he is, Jim will tolerate the pain to make his kids happy.
I can understand why Cece feels that she is the odd one out in school. Adding to her struggle, she has to face her dad being her teacher. Definitely awkward. As much as I love them, I don’t think I would ever want my parents to be my school teacher.
I love that Cece has picked up art just like her mom.
Excellent start! I cannot wait to see what else you have up your sleeves.
Author's Response: I can’t wait to really delve into the sibling relationships in this story since there’s now three of them. And I’m so glad you’re back Olivia! There’s going to be a lot that goes into her father teaching at her school and how that will affect her, we are also going to heavily delve into Cece discovering WHO she is, and that will be a huge part of this story. I can’t wait to hear more reviews!

I’m really excited for this one to get going! I love the rambunctious Olivia and how much the Halperts are trying to get immersed in the non-hearing world. Keep it coming! :)
Author's Response: Thank you!! I am very excited about this story and where it’s going, itl be a very different type of story than it’s former but in a good way. This will very much focus on family dynamics as well as throwing in what being deaf in a hearing world looks like and the adversity that plays to them as a family as whole. The jealously philip begins to develop, and meeting little Olivia and learning about her!

Nice set up chapter here. Love the image of Oakley and the barn. Likewise the sisterly bond and annoying brother vibe feel very real. (Which I in no way have first hand knowledge of being the middle kid of two sisters, shoot did I type that out loud!)
Love that Cece is a bit of a spitfire. Granted high school is a big change for many young people but still it seems she has some spunk to her.
Love the references to Pam either wanting to bake or watch shows about baking.
This looks like it'll very interesting.
Author's Response: Eric you’re back! (That’s what she said). I’m so happy you’re here and you enjoyed this bit of exposition as I set things up for a more grown up Cece in a weird time of her life. I had to bring Pam baking into the story and a lot of their other interests will make way in here. Although this one won’t have the same heartache, but we will see some teenage heartbreak of course, and what it means to be a father and mother of three now! And a little one at that.

An interesting beginning! Definitely a very different sort of story seeing the Halperts immersing themselves in deaf culture, and one you don't read all that much on this site or in most fanfic for that matter. And obviously both that and the idea of Jim coming to play a role at Cece's school in general, just as Cece's entering a pretty stressful part of her teenagedom, seems ripe for interesting conflict.
Looking forward to seeing more of this!
Author's Response: Yay you’re here! There will definitely be some conflict in this story, but I won’t be dragging you through the trenches like Humble and Kind. I see this as a very character driven story, and I am very excited to see what the Halperts are like with a third child, as they’ve gotten older, and their daughter becoming a teenager. Cece is a handful and I want to add a little bit of country and Nashville too in this story. I think it’ll be to see how the Halperts adjust to this new life. Thank you for coming back!
