It's a guy who has kids telling one who doesn't that she's beautiful. What woman doesn't want to have someone tell her that when she's 7 or 8 months along, I know I did. I have 2 kids myself.

I will not discuss the magic that is Sofia, she _may have name dropped and see who bit though.

I'm not sure how the Roman Catholic Church runs their program now but when I was getting married I was asked how often I went to church, if I would convert and most especially if I would raise my children Catholic. In fact the priest who did my and my husbands' pre-marriage counseling told us NOT to get married. We didn't listen and it's been almost 18 years. I figured since the priest only nominally knew Max and barely knew Jass at all he'd be more strict about it.

eh, to a woman or a man non-versed in pregnancies, a pregnant woman can look very large. Esp. a twin pregnancy. While I've never had twins, I did not look like I was smuggling a basketball. Smuggling a yoga ball, maybe. I was also fortunate to be one of those whose skin and hair looked great when pregnant; not all women are so lucky. It's startling, though, if you've not spent much time around pregnant women or your experience is with those rare souls who carry small.

And wow, I can't believe caterers who came in for a tasting. Unless they paid for the privilege. And maybe it's just the areas in which I've lived, but all officiants I've ever met have not asked how good a Catholic/Protestant/whatever the couple was. Just how serious the couple was and if the required classes, if any, had been taken. While not nec. approving of sex before marriage, they were happy to marry couples with present or incipient children. Perhaps priests in your neck of the woods are more stringent than mine. Heck, I've known couples who were married by priests in church where one person wasn't even Catholic, didn't attend mass or other religious services, nor was there any intention to convert. The only places I've heard of being more stringent in oking weddings was in more conventionally lovely churches where too many people from outside of the congregation or with only nominal ties to the congregation wanted their weddings held.

I know. I used to not understand the _marks_ but they are a bit more fun to read than my italics or caps lock. Lol. Jass seems like she's going to be an interesting character. And anyone who can stand up to Maxime Talbot gets an A+ in my book!

@ AshleyVC88
The rating probably will change, but it's a good place to start. Jass hit me on Sunday and I just _couldn't_ stop writing things for her. I know more about her before I posted than I have Aleks or Mari. As for the marks... I get tired of reading CAPS for emphasized words and don't want to underline fully, call me lazy.

@ messylittleraindr0ps
What can I say? I write what _I_ would want to read... If others like it, it's a bonus. I miss him in a Pens Uni too but he did what was best for him and I wish him nothing but the best.

*Le giant sigh* how I adore max talbot. I don't usually read PG-13 stories but I was intrigued by the picture and then once I saw the _emphasis_ marks I knew it was you! :-) which makes this even better. Can't wait for more! Subscribed and recommended!

Ahh, Talbo. How much I miss him in a Pens uniform... Great story, love how you're able to connect the reader with the characters! And hey, we have similar names!(;
