Aden_Belle - Thanks for reading . Perry - I never considered Dex/Heath as a pairing, so I'm sorry for this story you'll have to settle for the youngest Braxtion . pembie - Thanks! Miranda - You know all about me and Dex . Carina - Thank you. There is just something about naive and nerdy Dex that appeals to me. Next part up soon.

Thank you soooooo much everyone . *hearts*

Thankies Kristen, Dingo, Ariana, Stephanie, Lesley, QA, Carina, Zetti and Zoe. And yes, I'm feeling much better .

Just got back from seeing Glee 3D -- and it was not as dodgy as I thought it was going to be. I was always going to eventually see it, because I'm a fangirl and it's my job, but I reserved the right to make inappropriate comments throughout if it sucked. Because I'd heard rumours/reports about how it was editted and what was cut, but it was really, really good. Mini-Warbler is the cutest kid in existence, and I literally awww'd when he came on. I actually liked the fan stories, which I didn't think I was going to. The numbers were awesome, and I'm hoping there is an extended edition coming out on DVD which includes Single Ladies and the full Klaine skit. I could have done without Gwenyth, but there was a lot of Kurt and Blaine, and Lea Michele is incredible, so that makes up for it. ^ Re:Spoilers above.

Thank you so much everyone. I'm stuck at home for the second day in a row with laryngitis -- not fun. So have some icons!

^ I haven't seen it yet, but I know what you're talking about I do want to go see it, but I don't know when I'll have the time. Additionally, I've read spoilers and whatnot about what is left in/taken out of the film, and then I see the trailer and want to punch my computer screen because Speculation for Season 3, anyone? Personally, I'm putting money on a Blaine transfer within the first episode (if not, then at least the first couple). Not that anything has been confirmed. I"m stuck at home for the next couple of days with laryngitis, so I appropriately watched that episode today . I still get goosebumps from Rose's Turn.

Thank you so much everyone!

Thank you so much Zoe, Kristen, QA, Carina, Zetti, Lesley, Stephanie, Dingo, Sabrina, ariana and Kristina!!! If it weren't obvious, the last threee are manips .

Wow. Thank you so much Kristen (Hey! *waves*), Dingo, Leyla, Sarah, QA, b2sb09, Zetti, Lesley, Carina, Zoe, Stephanie, Sabrina, Kristina and Ariana *blushes* Now that I look at these, I'm not happy with the colouring *shrugs*.

Aden_Belle - Thanks ! Dingo x - Thank you <3. Stephanie - You're welcome. Thanks for commenting/uploading/giving credit. I appreciate it. Zetti - *blushes* Thank you. You are more than welcome to save/use/upload. LauraPhilly - Wow. Okay. That's awfully nice of you. Although there are many othe avatar makers batter than I. I just do this for fun. ariana_tithe - Seriously. Coming from you this is one of the greatest compliments ever. I adore your graphics so much, so if mine are a fraction as good as yours, then I'm doing well. Carina - Thanks! Zoe- Thanks. <3 Credit for the wonderful Dex screencaps to Luc. Thanks!

^ Interesting. I honestly can't remember who my top 5 would have been at the end of season 1. Right now though my top 5 would be; 1. Kurt 2. Blaine 3. Rachel 4. Puck 5. Santana Honourable Mention: Mike Chang for being the most flawless boyfriend ever. In terms of character development Puck has come through in leaps and bounds. I was sort of indifferent towards Puck in S1, but he's gone from tossing Kurt into dumpsters, to defending him, and being the #1 Klaine shipper in Glee club. His expressions in the Sectionals vs. Regionals performances were amazing. When he saw that Kurt was with the Warblers, he was all scowly and glaring at them from the crowd. But then, during Candles he was pretty much tearing up. Character development, you're doing it right. Obviously, I'm a massive Kurt/Blaine shipper and that isn't going to change. But I adore Blaine in his own right as a character. He went from this seemingly perfect Prince Charming, to just being a teenager, with flaws and insecurities and just wanting to figure himself out. I can't hate him for that. I also find everything he does completely endearing, especially with how enamoured he is with Kurt. I know I've said I sort of what Puck/Quinn for S3, but that's only because I think it's pretty much a given that Rachel and Finn will end up together. I totally ship Puck/Rachel more than Finn/Rachel, but looking at what Ryan Murphy has said and just the general feel of the show, I don't think they will be endgame -- so Puck/Quinn is my second choice. He obvious has feelings for her, and that whole storyline was so unresolved, that I just *need* something to happen there -- romantic or otherwise to finally give it some closure.

Aden_Belle - Thanks for reading . pembie - Nope, not going crazy. I entered it, and then realised I could have editted it, so I did. Thanks for reading ... again . Carina - Thank you! Apologies if it was too familiar. Just wanted to re-post it, because I'm fickle like that, and prefer this slightly-altered version.

But more importantly, does that mean Not gonna lie, this is sort of exciting.

Aden_Belle - Thanks! Miranda - I will. *Takes notes* But having said that, my next fic is more ... up my alley Or at least, more my usual stuff. I still do owe you a Dex/Casey-on-the-run fic.

Of course you may . Would you like me to upload it singularly (you would still need to save/upload it to your own hosting) or are you able to crop/save it for yourself?

Thank you so much Dingo, ariana, QA, Lesley, Carina, Zetti, Kristen, Barbara, Amy, Zoe, Laura and Sabrina . I honestly didn't know if these sorts of graphics would translate into H&A screencaps -- Turns out, they do. I second that! Ha! You never know. I've just seen one that says, "i'm not perfect, but my blog is" and I have to resist the urge to make a bajillion graphics of just Dex with it . If you are one of those people on tumblr or are familiar with it and see any iChat quotes that you want with particular H&A scenes, and provided I have the screencap, I will totally do that for you. (Link)

Miranda - Thank you so much. I honestly don't quite know what to say. I haven't had a baby (that should be obvious), and one of the reasons I've avoided writing about it is because I never thought I could capture the 'realism' of it. In any fic, there is a risk of making it too puppies and ranbows and "glowing", but I guess I felt the pressure more in this fic than any other -- because I wanted the characters to be flawed and that to be the thing driving the story -- but at the same time, I wanted it to be a natural progression in terms of time, but not wanting it to drag. I guess that's one of the reasons why it took me so long to actually, you know, finish the fic. I kept putting off the ending for so long. I'm pretty sure Indi was six months pregnant for at lease 8 months! I don't know if I succeeded, but I guess I achieved something if you persisted with the story through to the end. So, thank you. Again. Red Ranger 1 - Thanks for reading and commenting throughout ! Zetti - Aww. I'm glad you thought it was cute and/or adorable. As much as I live for all the angst-ridden drama, I do like a good happy ending. Homeandawayluva - Thank you so much. Have I converted someon to Romeo/Indi? I'm not even sure if I ship them anymore . Carina - Thank you very much for commenting the whole way <3. pembie - Thanks! My next fic is in a totally different vain to this one. So hopefully you like it. Tons of Dex though, so. soph1303 - *hearts* Thank you. I really appreciate your comments. Keep an eye out for future fics coming soon . ~JarlieFanEver~ - Thanks! !

I'm just going to keep bumping this thread during the hiatus because goodness knows, we're going to get rumours and speculation and everything inbetween that will ultimately change when filming commences, because Ryan Murphy can't keep his mouth shut. But. Chris Colfer for the Emmy! So freakin' excited!! Also, 3D Movie, which I will probably go and see alone because I am sad and don't have IRL friends to fangirl about Klaine in 3D with. And the fact the Cory, Lea and Chris are leaving at the end of Season 3? I mean, I guess I knew they would graduate the class at the end of Season 3, with them being seniors and all, but it was just weird to me that they picked out those names specifically to mention. Are we then meant to assume that Quinn, Puck Mercedes & Co. are a year younger? Or will they all leave, and it's just they don't want to freak the fans out too much by listing all 12 glee club members.

pembie - In my mind the ring was more Romeo's way of committing to Indi. It is first subtly brought up in Month Four, but back then Romeo was really doing it because he thought it was the right thing to do, not because he necessarily really wanted to actually get married. Like Romeo says, he's not proposing anymore, because that isn't what makes them a strong couple -- it's being together, and finally talking about things, because they obviously have that connection that brought them together in the first place. They don't need to get married to prove that. I think having a baby together is a big enough committment for now. Zetti - I'm so horrible at picking names for babies or original characters. I always go though many before I settle on just one. I couldn't decide whether Indi would something a bit obsure (she is named Indigo after all), or would want something traditional. Romeo got no say in the matter!

Red Ranger - I noticed that you commented on the ring in one of the earlier chapters, but I had to resist saying anything like, "Yes! You noticed! It'll come back later!" so as not to give anything away. Miranda - Ha! Well, this is the part where I confess that I only have one more small part written. Originally it was tacked on to the end of Month Nine, but I split it up, so now it's separate. So, that'll be coming next and then it's the end . ldscott - I'll make sure you get a little glimpse into Romeo and Indi's new life before wrapping this whole thing up. This story originally was going to be a couple of thousand words of just, hey Indi gets pregnant and Romeo doesn't know how to deal and Dex is slightly weird. I never intended for it to expand to as big as it ended up being. So yeah, there isn't much left because if I make it too long I risk it dragging and I get bored very easily when writing these sorts of stories. I need lots of angst to keep me entertained. Carina - Timing is everything. When else was that going to happen? soph1303 - I spent so long debating the name and whether it was going to be a boy or a girl, and then Nicole actually had a boy on the show and then needed a name. I went through quite a few before deciding on Gabe. I just, I wanted it to fit, is all. Dex is just generally inappropriate at the best of times.

Thank you so much everyone! *Hands cookies to Dingo, QA, Carina, Zetti, Lesley and Barbara* So, I sort have started stalking various tumblr blogs, and discovered the wonders of ichat graphics. So, behold.

Okay, so I'm going to attempt to defend Dex here. I guess I'll preface this by saying that I don't condone his actions, and think cheating is completely wrong and he deserved to get punched in the face by Xavier, BUT Like you said, Dex hasn't had many friends. He doesn't understand peer interaction. He recognises feelings and impulsiveness, and he's creative and intuitive, but that means that he doesn't necessarily think things through. If anything, he overthinks to the point of beating something to death with a stick, because ultimately because of the lack friends he's had, his only example about how to deal with people and enter relationships come from his father, and to a less extent his sister. Sid does not have the best track record with relationships. His wife left him because of infedelity, and you would assume that this would mean that Dex would understand that cheating is wrong, and causes hurt to others. But Dex has never been on that other side -- where he's had feelings for someone, and they've reciprocated in a very real, tangible way. In the animal kingdom there is no 'he is my friend so his girlfriend is a no-go zone', and ultimately I think that Dex just hasn't had the experience to know that he should be valuing whatever mediocre friendship he had with Xavier first, and then becoming April's boyfriend second. To be honest, I don't see Dex and April being in it for the long haul. Yes, they were arguably closer, friendship-wise, than Dex was with Annie or Adrian, but the foundation from which the relationship started isn't really there. I don't doubt that Dex likes April, she's smart and funny and they seem to have that 'we're both outsiders so we understand each other' thing going on, but I think that they'll confess their feelings to each other because Dex thinks he knows what love is, but then it'll peeter out and they'll drift apart.

Wow. I know I say this every time, but seriously. Thank you. Zoe, Zetti, QA, Lesley, Ariana, Dingo, Bec, Carina, Barbara and Sabrina, you are awesome, and the reason I spend my weekends making avatars of H&A characters .

Miranda - Trust me, I really want to slap some sense into Romeo the majority of the time too! I don't know how much redemption I can do - but, Carina - A lot of the issues Romeo and Indi have (both in this fic and the show) stem from miscommunication. And in this case, Indi just didn't know what she wanted. She's pregnant and confused, but is finally coming out the other side. By putting the baby before any of her own wants or aspirations, she's finally stepping up to the job of being a mother. And Romeo recognises that. pembie - Me either. I think Indi should have just kicked Romeo to the curb and Dex should have exacted some sort of crazy, yet fail-worthy revenge scheme. ldscott - Thanks! <3 Red Ranger 1 - Pretty much. It's just a confusing situation. And I'm just relieved people are still reading the story through all the mess. Zett - I can't help it. I'm a sucker for a happy ending. the whole Casey/Dex is just sort of background to the Romeo/Indi, and even secondary to Indi/Dex, but again. I always want to picutre happy endings for almost everyone. Homeandawayluva - Thank you very much for reading and commenting.
