Oh. My. Goodness. I have a secret soft spot for Mpreg, but it has to be really well written to get me past the unreality of the situation. This story is so wonderful and lovely and emotionally perfect that I did not even think about impossibilities, I just laughed and cried and ached along with them.

Cook is the pregnant one! I love that, because Archie has such a caretaker personality, but with the dynamic of their relationship, the age difference and all, he is often the one viewed as being taken care of. This gives him the chance to be the one giving the care, and of course he is wonderful at it.

I started crying along with Cook when he was stuck on the toilet seat -- which was hilarious, but also so heartbreaking, because he was just falling apart, poor hormonal thing -- and didn't stop until the last parenthetical comment made me laugh. &hearts
