I read this one as soon as I got the notice that it was posted. It was terrific. Poor Rodney and his slow but inexorable complete fall into fatherhood along with Lorne. I felt for them after John was back to being an adult. It would be very traumatic to lose a child even though in a way he is still there. Also a very beatiful rendering of how Rodney felt after Carson's death and the horrible time he had mourning and accepting his loss. On a lighter note Cadman's sneaky comment about hoping to see a naked adult John running through the mess was a delight. Ooooh, Sheppard eye candy! Don't I wish!
