Building a Family

First Words

The title sort of speaks for itself. It’s a funny battle between parents–whose name is said first. My monkeys were all smart enough to say mine first. They know what’s what.

Beyond the Grief

Before they were a family, they needed to make a start. This fic goes way back to a moment soon after the first Christmas special.

A Bath Can Fix Anything

Shelagh finds that some days motherhood isn’t always what you planned.

Epilogue

Love Fills In

Angela makes a connection with someone from her past.

A Name

Remember when we called her baby Turnadette?

 Thanks to HTMcG and Twitter we learned a bit early.

Completely A/U. Shelagh and Patrick learn life has even more surprises in store for them.

Cold Feet

Angela’s window, the wind and an embarrassed Timothy.

Home to Stay

Shelagh begins to heal after her diagnosis.

Finding a Way

Life has thrown Shelagh and Patrick a curve ball. (sorry for the baseball reference)

Patrick Goes to Sunday School

Happy wife, happy life…

A First Time for Everything

The original plan for this was a few one-shots, but it took on a mind of its own, and soon I was in a full-blown, eighteen chapter character study.

There’s a sweet little moment in Chapter that’s inspired by artwork by SincerelyRobinK. Check out her Tumblr blog!

A Perfectly Appropriate Dress

A second chance at the family holiday was an excellent idea, especially if Shelagh buys more new dresses!

First Day of School

Angela is growing up.

Tiptoes in the Garden

Inspired, Shelagh makes plans for the garden. Continued in Bliss, and referred to in Catching His Breath.

Bliss: A Hammock in the Garden

Waiting For Tomorrow

Shelagh can’t sleep as she awaits the results of her pregnancy test.

Not Listening

Patrick should learn to pay attention…

This was my very first fic, EVER.

Driving Doctor Turner

This one came about as I started to teach My Girl to drive. I completely sympathize with poor Doctor Turner.

Surprise

Shelagh surprises Patrick. Again, artwork by GreetingsDr. And you can tell Shelagh’s still a newlywed. She’s going to tell Patrick “how right he had been.”

Amatuer.

Becoming Mum

Another Tumblr prompt, this one a thank you to On the Right Road for finding a favorite fanvid of mine. Loved writing this one!
