Felix and Hoshi convincing Helo to start a fitness club was amazing, hee! And I love Noel with the little car; I think that's what I'd be doing in the fleet, making toys for all the kids. That's something that usually isn't addressed, although given the rest of this chapter, I see why you had it here.

*whimpers* Oh Dee...the baby thing was a bad idea, but now that she has it, it's torture for that to be taken away. Her question to Helo in the beginning surprised me, because I'd never thought about that issue with Helo/Athena, but his answer feels so right.

And of course Louis is there for her when it gets tough—that's just so him. Given the time period, I'm not sure whether to be afraid or not about Lee's reaction—*bites nails nervously*

For not really having an action plot, this story is quite gripping.
