Author's Response: Glad to be of service. Thanks, JHalpert!
Summary: Anytime I've written babyfic, Jim is typically a natural at fatherhood and has no problem adjusting to daddyhood at all. I thought it'd be fun to explore...the opposite of that.

just a question...whose wedding is this? I'm a little confused..
Author's Response: Pam's sister, Penny.
Like why a woman would choose to wear a wedding dress so voluminous, she required assistance from two bridesmaids just to use the restroom....But apparently, Penny didn’t share his opinion

Summary: "Tears slowly unleashed from the back of my eyes darkening the spots they trickled on my sweater. Jim kept his expression stoic and his hand firmly clutched to mine, squeezing tightly. The baby kicked hard and I sobbed even harder."

As usual my dear, you've done it again. A story that brought me to tears, gripped my heart, made me think of my Nana, my relationship with my parents...so, so amazing.
You have a knack for stories like this. Please, please, please bring us another like this soon.
I don't know what I'd do without the comfort of a story like this, this was like chicken soup the whole way through.

andtheivy--i appreciate your comment back..I would try using italics because it does seem to change rather quickly from past to present without much change in the flow.
Reviewer: JHalpert Signed

Date: November 04, 2010 Title: Chapter 1: Mater/Filia
One of the things I noticed while reading this story is that there is constant changes of tense throughout the piece--it makes it incredibly distracting to read. For example, you start out with writing in the past tense:
"First of all,” he said, chuckling…
“Watching you nurse her,” he murmured,…
And then you go to present:
"I rest my head on the pillowed back…
Jim stays in the shadows"
When writing, it's important to check for these things, I would highly suggest a beta, or looking for another beta to go over grammatical stuff. You can't switch tenses in stories whenever you feel like it, it makes the grammar incorrect. Also--staying in present tense is what's used most commonly, and makes for better writing.
Sorry..my english major nitpicky went crazy when reading this. I've noticed it in a few other of your pieces, and just thought I should say something :)
Author's Response: I appreciate the attention to detail, but the tense changes are jntentional. The past tense indicates memory, something Pam is reflecting on that happened previously. The present tense indicates the ongoing or what is happening in the moment. Perhaps using italics would make that more clear? I'm a professional writer so I'm nitpicky about technicalities as well. With rare exception, any tense differences in my stories are going to be intentional, to differentiate between different time periods in the characters' experiences.
