This was just the right about of funny and touching. I liked the structure you used, having the time stamp throughout the story. The sleep deprived banter was amusing and kept my attention. I loved the main characters.

Thank you for the review and the structure advice. I think I am a talented writer, but I haven't had formal education for grammar and the like. I will apply what you said to future work. Thanks again, Tyler

Thanks for this as well as the other reviews you have left. I am trying to navigate so I couldn't thank you for appreciating my take on sloths. Thanks, Tyler
Comment from LJbutterfly
Your story is well written, compelling, and flows smoothly from beginning to end. The narrative is clear and engaging and the dialogue is realistic.
There are contests created by the site, as this one is. Website employees determine the winners. If you win first place, which is one hundred dollars, you can choose actual cash, an Amazon gift card, or member dollars to be used to promote your future posts. Site contests are free to join. There are contests created by members. You pay member dollars to join. They are called 'blind' because your name is not revealed. Members vote on the entry they feel should win. All winnings are paid in member dollars (no actual cash). I wish you the best in THIS contest.
Suggestion for improvement: Using a larger font attracts more readers, including those with older eyes.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
There's not really a lot to know about contests. They can be blind (in which case your name is hidden) or not as in this case. Sometimes they're judged by the members who vote, other times by the mysterious committee members. This entry is superb. I loved the dialogue and how well it captured the characters in this very credible romance story. It evolved well and, despite the lack of action, I felt fully engaged. In fact I could imagine this as a one-scene play and think it would be equally successful. Very well done here and good luck, Tyler! Debbie

Thank you, Debbie. I actually tried to write it as a mini play, so that was a spot on review. Thanks again, Tyler
Comment from Mia Twysted
This was a wonderful story. I was drawn in and captivated the entire time. I love how you have it come back to the hospital with their sisters telling their little side of the story. It might help to make the font larger so it is easier to read on the screen.

Thank you for the 6 star review. Always heartwarming. I will take heed of the font size because it would help me as well. Thank you, Tyler
Comment from royowen
A great post, and even more because it's so romantic, it's probably a one in a million shot, two people waiting for the respective sister to give birth.strike up the perfect relationship and creating their own little human, beautifully written, that's the beauty of writing, one can create one's own miracle. Well done, blessings Roy
Typo (lightening) struck.

Thank you for the review and the heads up. I caught the typo in the second read through, but neglected to fix it before post. I would say that proof reading is where I struggle most as a writer, but I am working on it. Thanks for the 5 stars and take care, Tyler
