Loved it! Great story. Loved how Logan a trained assassin had issues putting a shirt on his baby girl.

I LOVED THIS!!!!

Author's Response: Thank you so much. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Bree.

Beautifully written!

Author's Response: Thanks! I had fun writing it.

Fri replying here: Yay! i liked it! But i have to say i doubt that Ro/Lo would name the baby girl Becky (not trying to bash the name) but it's a "christian/catholic/bible" name and Logan isn't really the relligious type and Ororo believes in "The Goddess" so i'd assume they'd pick some ya know whimsicle (sp?) type o' name. But whateva I enjoyed it!

Author's Response: I know, the name Becky rubs RoLoers the wrong way, but it's already canon, thanks to GeNext. Still, I'm glad you liked it. This story was kinda "Ceenote Lite" and has less angst and sex and violence my stuff tends to wallow in. I like to be multifaceted, so sue me. Good to hear from you, Fry.

Long review here because I read this as two chapters, the first partly at your LJ and the other at the written_stars Yahoo group. I wrote the review at work as I read.

This started out so cute even as I realized it was married with kid’s fic which I rather abhor. Many of those types of stories come off like too syrupy sweet, yours is more cotton candy sticky sweet and I don’t at all mean that in a bad way at all. It’s obvious you have experience with little ones and the eye for detail that you have, to me, is always mind boggling.

I have to tell you I was shocked when I saw they’d named a daughter after Mariko. I never would’ve thought of that but it makes sense. Ororo had nothing but respect for Mariko and understood Logan ’s pain when he lost her. After a moment I thought what a neat idea. I get the use of Becky since Marvel chose it but I still don’t really see Ororo choosing a name like that. It’s biblical of course but Becky just seems not right for one such as Ororo nevertheless keeping the link with Marvel is fitting and again something I never would’ve thought of.

The details you have woman! I know I say this a lot and even a paragraph or so ago but I truly never cease marveling at your remarkable talent for capturing a scene in its most minute details. The hair combing scene made me laugh and laugh reminding me of combing my own daughter’s curly locks. How she clamored to have it straightened to be rid of all those beautiful curls. (Now that they are she said she’ll never go back to curly.) I thought how like a man to insist his daughter keep her long unruly hair because he’s not combing it now is he? And then he was. It was such a really nice moment. All I could think was “Ahhhh!”

Oh, and I mustn’t forget the Barbie’s! Lol. The addition of Barbie’s in the story was realistically amusing. The tossing, the child’s contentment, the state of the doll’s hair. All these little details are so sweet.

I think the little debate betwixt Ororo and Mariko starts out in the wrong order. I think you meant to have Mariko say yes she did in defiance of Ororo who told her she didn’t keep her hair the way it was supposed to be so it wouldn’t tangle and then the argument would ensue.

Now for the second part.

I love this gruff Wolverine! Love the bold Ororo who dared to put her hand over his while he was ready to pop the claws. That was written very well. One sentence though I couldn’t quite figure out was “No you don’t. You think you.” I’m going with You think you do? (If you corrected it then please ignore me.) And is this ultimate X-Men? I didn’t know if it was a blend of all actually, the bar confused me but only because at first I thought he was actually at a bar in town somewhere. I read it at work so I was probably preoccupied. Still a little confused because I don’t know which verse has a bar in the mansion.

I like this part of Logan’s life, and how it seems so logical for Ororo to help him get over it. I always remember when she gave him that mutated flower when he was moping over Mariko on an anniversary. They’ve always had that natural chemistry or rather Claremont gave that to them.

Thanks for putting the song, which I personally can do without. Very nice of you. Overall this was a sticky sweet treat full of gooey goodness almost like a belated Christmas present and makes a nice New Years gift.

Author's Response: I know. I NEVER write parent fics between these two unless it's as a happy ending to an angst piece. Yes, it was downrght treacly, which is why I broke it up a little with the flashback to Ororo visiting him after his nightmares. That was Logan acting like "Wolverine" instead of Mr. Mom. The bar was merely a wet bar in the den. It was based on Uncanny, non-canon but definitely following the scene between them witht the flower, or Wolverine issue 96. And yes, you are write about that typo, I'm off to fix it. I added the song to the end, so no one would have to stumble over it in the middle of the prose. THanks for your insights as usual, D.

I know I've already reviewed, but I just wanted to say (again) that you're amazing and I love this fic!!

Hmm... I have too many nicknames...

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Me, I tend to stick to my yahoo ID unless I need people to take me seriously, which is why I have a gmail acct for my work crap. Thanks, Tiger!
