Joan: Next installment about to post. I know it actually feels like we've waited 9 whole months since I started posting this way back at the end of April.

Glad you liked my solution to Lois's dilemma.
IolthaneAlias: Yes, Lois had to give up something she never knew she wanted (the baby), something she had thought she had always wanted (her career as world-famous investigative journalist), and her name. And there was pain, lot of it. That Moonbeam, she always seems to know what she's talking about.
