I'm actually not big on kids in RL, I like them ok but don't have any of my own and don't want to be a parent. (not that I don't love & respect those who are parents!). Therefore, I surprised even myself by writing a story with a child in it, and any awkwardness shining through probably comes from lack of experience, but he was part of the plot bunny so I had to!

I'm a little uncertain how it will all play out but hopefully you can continue to look past Paddy and focus on O/X. =)
