I have said this before but you are a very talented storyteller. The shift from past to present and back again is quite natural and gives us all relavent information without being overbearing. Although I think most couples in their situation would probably have enjoyed their time together a bit more, Hawke and Caitlin's decision to start trying for a baby seems natural after this storyline.

It seems pretty clear that you are going to have Hawke's parents and younger siblings show up sooner or later. I wonder why you chose to take the story in this direction? Hawke's personality is heavily influenced on how he has lost so many people he has loved, and if it turns out his parents are actually alive, it would kind of demean a great deal of what he has gone through.

I am beginning to wonder if Karen Hansen is a touch of self-insertion creeping in. Perhaps you have red hair yourself? I'd imagined you with light brown hair, but only because I had an English friend named Rachel in my gymnastics class when I was about 9 or 10. Rachel had an English accent, but her stint in the American school system had (unfortunately) smothered out many of the Britishisms. Her parents, however, were still quite full of them. When she invited me to her birthday party, they came roaring at us full force and I think it was the first time I truly realized Americans and British have everything in common but language (tm Oscar Wilde). Near the end of the party, her dad asked everyone if they would like ice cream and jelly and all of us speakers of American imagined ice cream with grape preserves, but of course it was what we called jello.

And you make me break out the kleenex again...*sniffle* Nice.

Whew! Dom's a tough old guy. ~_ And slowly but surely, one by one Hawke's old wounds are healing.

And hee hee! A new little Hawke?

Emotional rollercoaster, that's what this is. Wow.

Gah! Hawke's dad is alive?

*gasp* Oh, no...

I like the look back at Hawke's family, and the grandfather that collected all that art. ~_ But this doesn't look good for Dom...eek...

I really enjoyed this. I liked hearing more about Hawke's family, and the idea that they may still be alive (and that he has a younger sibling) is very intriguing. Great job!

Hi Rachel. As you can see I am way behind. LOL! Anyway great storytelling as always. Looking forward to catching up on all the rest.

another great story. I always look forward to the next part. Keep up the great writing.

aww man poor Dom he's torn between telling string what he knows and not ruining his new found happyness with cait

heh heh string and cait are gonna have a child oh man

can't wait

i very interested with what your doing with the New Airwolf and the soon to be copyed Airwolf *wink* i'm just wondering if the newer Airwolf (the one with the upgraded weapons) is a certain renamed helicopter which Jo and Locke took on in season 4 however i could be wrong however

also i look forward to see what you plan to do with Airwolf herself will we see more of her A.I coming into play soon?

Nice...very, very nice. This sets up a lot of possibilities for the future. I like what you've done and I look forward to reading more.

Hair! My hair! You keep bouncing me back and forth. e-e-e-p! To the Max! But I love every minute and want more, ya hear? MORE! SOON! Holding breath til next week.

Again with the "are they? aren't they?" Make for lots of wavering on my part. He-e-e-e.

And aw at the end of the chapter. Just aw-w-w-w-w.

Man, you are really juking this plot around. First, they might be alive, then they aren't but then again, they might be. Love it.

Aw, darn...the boat accident. Shucks. But atleast the Fed dude was open about what he knew. Or was he? Hm-m-m-m-m?
