Hi,

Great part!


Clark will find out.

Does Ben know about her?


More ASAP, please.

MAF

Thanks, Maria!

Yes, that's so true!


Glad you like it. Edrika's not such a snake after all!


The one where they find out what (if anything) Ching knows about Marilyn's rape.


Most likely!


Not yet!

Well, I know I've told you how much I like this part. Well, let me go into some more detail :

Well, I can guess what that 'something' is. Something to do with Rya's 'romantic idea'...

Yes, they will (have to).

Zared has some 'romantic ideas' of his own!

Yeah, pretty lucky.

I like this reaction. Everybody is so suspicious of Zara's motives. I hope they'll get to like her, though.

Without changing first? Uh-oh! And why does she have to talk to Ben at this time of night? I mean, I know it's big (bad) news that Claire has been raped, but does Ben really have to know at once? Or is it something else?

You know, I'm looking forward to your next piece of writing.

I'm completely fascinated by the twins, Chloe and Claire. Right now, Chloe is the most interesting, but Claire could make a comeback any time.

I think of Chloe as a "happy girl". It seems to me that she has always been gifted, bright, pretty, well-loved and happy with herself, her life and her existence. I think it has been relatively easy for her to be a "good girl", a relatively obedient girl. I think she has accepted and even liked her parents' rules for her. I think she has found it relatively easy to be there for her younger siblings (and probably for Claire, too). I remember that it was Chloe who calmly took over and helped and comforted Jama when Jama had gotten her first period.

The way I think of Chloe, I believe that she was sufficiently happy and well-adjusted to be able to take her mother's death in a level-headed way, too. Of course she was extremely sorry about what had happened, but I believe that Chloe felt that her life was so good in so many other ways that she could regain her footing quickly and be happy again. The way I think of Chloe, she was not devastated or traumatized by her mother's death. She was probably a lot more worried about her father's grief afterwards.

For Claire it's been different, I think. I think she has doubted herself a lot more. She may have doubted her own talents, her own beauty, her own worth. I would think she has taken her mother's death so much harder than Chloe did (of course I may be wrong about all of this). No doubt her very bad experience with that creep of a boyfriend, Alex, has done a lot to damage Claire's self-confidence.

Well, back to Chloe. I admit I was surprised at her pregnancy, given the fact that I think of Chloe as basically an obedient and responsible girl. I'm not saying it would be out of the question for a girl like Chloe to disobey her father's wishes and have sex with her boyfriend at fifteen, but it does seem a bit unlikely and out of character. That's why I like your explanation so much. It was Alex, again, and the Kryptonite in his leg that made her do it.

I very much like the idea that now that Chloe has defied her father once and had sex with Ben, she is not going to be as obedient as she once was. Because the experience has changed her. It has deepened her love for her boyfriend, and already she has come to love having sex with him.

I think it's going to be extremely interesting to see what happens to Chloe from now on. And the poor girl doesn't even know she is pregnant.

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what it will be like for Claire to suffer through the rape trial, too. And then I want to see what will happen to her and Trace.

Ann

Huh? Wait - Ching is there? Can't you just kill him off? *lol* sorry... I don't like the guy...

They're all doing it like rabbits over there *lol* -- I was going to ask for a list of the pregnant women, but can we have a list of the women that aren't pregnant, it might be shorter. *lol*

Oi... not much time for feedback. I started reading and then had to zip through cause I got called to do some tech support and it's likely going to take most of the rest of this evening. I won't be able to concentrate enough on anything other than this customer... *sigh* Sorry...

Thanks, Mellie, Ann, and Lara.


‘Something’ like that....


Yep.


Hehe... And she can’t bring herself to call him anything but Lord Kal-El.


Yep, can you imagine folks watching everything you do?


Hope so, but I don’t think I’m done with Edrika yet.


Nope, they haven’t. And they won’t. But...


Knew you’d like that one.


Yeah, they definitely need chocolate on NK (if Zara didn’t already take care of that).


Talk! Talk! No romantic stuff yet.


Yep, and now he’s got to deal with the former alpha really always was the alpha again.


Nope, not this time. They’d been at it at least a little while by then.


I bet K’al’s gonna be MAD!


Ding!


Not this time - not unless it’s some guy thing about a nurse fantasy... I was thinking of a combination of nurse plus some of the other professions around (respiratory therapist, physical therapist etc).


Well, there are a few humans who have such capabilities...


Or at least she knew Los wanted to hide something about that. And maybe something about Mari, too.


Yep, something like that.


Chloe feels very close to Ben. Maybe she feels like he could help with what she could say to Claire. Maybe...


You always manage to sum my characters up so wonderfully...


Could be. I never thought about that way, but it makes sense since I’ve already said his kids were very worried about him.


Yes, she has. But a great deal of that had to do with Alex.


Yes, it has. But she will have a lot of love to help her get it back.


Well, as you know, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go with that. In fact, I’d pretty much decided not to. But then, the idea of Alex having affected her too was very appealing. (Thank Olympe for the dance with Alex.)


Definitely changing her in oh, so many ways.


Wish I could... Better not...


Hehe...


Isn’t it fun being on call? Do you have to do that all night, too? And let me guess - you have to do it in French and English, right?


Thanks, guys.

No... it sucks. All night, no, but some customers are a lot denser than others and I don't mean their molecular structure, here. *lol* And it's English only - I'm very assimilated, really. Not that I can help it... oh hum.

And since I forgot to come back and say so: nice part. I'll be looking for the next one and will make sure I read it nice and slow.

Hi Nancy,

Another beautiful and moving part to this wonderful story. To praise in a different language for a change as I've run out of English praises - TRES BIEN!
I don't blame her for sneeking off! I've been told that pregnant ladies and their mood swings...
(presuming that she is pregnant as you've written all the signs...)


I'm looking to reading more.

With regards,

Stuart

Thanks, Stuart!!


Aw, thanks. I’m glad I could give you that warm feeling.


Yes, it’s very typical. I once took care of a doctor who came in with a kidney stone and was in severe pain. Well, when he got to feeling a little better, he got up out of bed, pushed his IV down the hall and made rounds.


I figured she might have softened over the years.
And she has made a friend in Sapphire, hasn't she? (Sapphire is based on my own 'stuck up' cat named Sassy Black Sapphire.)

Where are you?

MAF

I think she's still working on "Happy New Year, Kal-El". She had this sudden flash of inspiration...

I just posted another part of Happy New Year, Kal-El, and I'm basically finished with it. I'm hoping to have another part of A New Hero up by the weekend!
