This is the 5th time that I'm rereading this story, and I still love it! I love the idea of derek and addison being parents. And ik that season 2 robbed them of what they could've been, if Derek was given the story line of actually forgiving his wife. Ugh. Anyway. I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing fanfiction and for your other stories as well. In this time that we are facing, I find comfort in Addek fanfics again. And I'm grateful for people like you Who have the tallent to write. Since I suck haha I just have ideas, but I can execute the writing process poorly. Anyway, I hope that you continue writing, and thanks for being an Addek shipper. Since there's a lot more mereders out there than us addeks.(sad ik) but thank you! Thank you!

Aww i love it. I can't stop crying.

Four children! A very sweet tribe. That's something Shonda would definitely write, if she were to like them at all. I loved every bit of this! It's adorable yet not too much! Thank you for writing, it didn't feel like 18 chapters at all! Loved it

I love this through and through

Sweet mother of Jesus Christ! I'm only four paragraphs in but this is the most amazing intro I've ever read, I am in awe. It feels like I can almost listen to the voice of a narrator. It's a thrilling promise. I'm very excited to continue but this is very well written so far.

Oh my wow. I just finished reading. I'm sort of heartbroken, I love Savvy and Weiss. I've dived deep enough with them on winter's stories and well, this is a whole new perspective. I'm looking forward!

Second time I’ve read this! Amazing, great piece of writing!

AMAZING! Loved every word. You have great talent. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful story! ️

This is great!

I love love love love it!

This was a beautiful ending to a beautiful story! There were so many great moments: the Zarks, that fight in the hospital, any time the Montgomery's came to town. This was the perfect note to end the story on.

The interaction between Noah and his sister was adorable. The idea of the Shepherds having four kids just makes me happy. And I loved the scene where Addison thinks ahead to what the future holds for her children and her family. Even the small things, like Addisin worrying about the first time Noah would say she's not his "real mom" packed an emotional punch. This smart, sweet and oftentimes funny writing is why you're my favorite author on the site. I can't wait to see what you write next!

What am I going to do with my life now that this is over?! Do you have another story coming?
I really hope you have another story coming.
Also- FOUR kids?! Wow. It's the kind of thing that I could totally see for Addek. Addison wants stop at two, Derek wants four or five. The compromise on three and end up having twins lol. That's basically what I'm sure what would have happened if they didn't get divorced.
Thanks for the awesome story! I really, really, really hope you have something new coming to fill the void the ending of this story will leave.

loved it! loved the ending and the metaphore about the book! you should write another addek story because...well because i love all your stories and you're one of the best in here in writing! so thank you...

I can't believe it is over! I'm gonna cry in a dark corner! it was absolutely amazing and I hope you write some stories!

The perfect end to a brilliant story. Thank you for writing it, I hope you continue to write more, you are very talented.
