D'aw. I like this! Very cute and yet in character.

As much as I normally dislike fics which give poor aged Harry & Ruth a child or two, this one kinds works for me. There's a spontaneity to it which seems to fit, and neither of them are all gooey and Mothercare about it either. It's just a little accident, and such things happen to the most well-prepared of people, even H & R.

I'm amazed that I am going to say this is one of the most amazing and intricately crafted Ficlet that I have ever read. The word pictures are masterfully drawn and in such a surprising way you have brought surprising depth to your self proclaimed "cliched" plot device. This was absolutely fabulous and I hope someday I am able to write as effectively and compellingly as you have done.

I should have reviewed before now but I wish you owned Spooks - I'd be having a lot less stress about Harry and Ruth and where they are going to be at the end of S10. Thank you for the lovely stories (I wish I could have had HP in my kitchen for my 40th earlier this year, though that might have been tough to explain to my hubby.) Here's to hoping the persistent plot bunny finds you again. :-) Thank you for sharing.

I loved it! Nice bit of fluff, but with a serious edge to it, which made it all the more realistic and credible. It's definitely going on my favourites list :)

That was great. I really loved it - I love fluff!

Nothing wrong with a cliché fic, particularly a well written cliché fic, which this is. I loved it - you have captured the characters really well and in turn this makes it a really believable story. So not so cliché after all..

A lovely read for a Sunday evening - thanks. (Hope the house move has gone well.)

I have taken the evening to immerse myself in some Spooks fics and escape, and found another new one from you!

I love a cliché fic! Some people use the word cliché as if it's something dirty, but a cliché like this only becomes a cliché because it's something so popular. With fics like this, its the sentiment, the intimacy and the warmth people love - me included! Plus, you've written it fantastically and considered so many important things that it could never be considered *just* cliché!

:)

a cliche fic now and again never hurt anyone, especially when executed as well as this :P

I like how you have brought a sense of 'reality' (well, as much reality as you can get given the fictional context) to the fic by recognising the difficulties and potential problems that they would face (their age, the demands of their work etc).

thanks for writing it - brought a welcome distraction from the tedium that is revision for uni exams.

hope your move went well :)

Totally cheered me up after a rubbish day so thanks for that!

Please feel free to write more cliché fics! I love how you write their relationship and their questions/hesitations; it sounds so true and so respectful for the characters. I could picture them while reading your fic, so very well done, for a very well written fic.

Thank you :-D

I like cliché fics! Especially the kind that leave you smiling contently!

There's nothing wrong with cliche fic if it's done right - which this is, of course! Love it. Beautifully written, and I love the acknowledgement of their ages and the difficulties inherent in their decision to keep the baby.

Good luck with your move! I hope you'll be very happy in your new home! xx

Well, I thought that was wonderful! Good luck with the house move...

So cute :)
