Aww, Zacky is so darn cute. I'd take him to the doctors with me if I ever had to go. He'd be like Skittles for me. And Brian being awkward/nervous is adorable!! ~~ <--- Mr. E thinks so, too.
Its a really good story. I'm glad that you made it a bit different than most Syn fanfics in that he didn't say 'Nope, your own your own'. Bravo! I'm kinda sad this won't be in the contest, but if this is just the beginning of ONE of your stories, I'm sure your contest entry will blow me away.
Oh, and don't tell my boyfriend this either, but if Syn Gates knocked me up...damn you better believe I'd be honored ;]
