Another six star winner! You have such a seamless way of swinging back and forth from the perils Bill is facing in Viet Nam to the hopeful loving wish filled heart you have as you carry your baby. I especially liked the line: "...our troops are dying like flowers in the hot sun void of water."---So reminiscent of that time and the song "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"---I remember singing it as I thought of the countless lives being cut short in the war. Nice touch on the duet of poems--one from him and one from you! As always you are masters at making references to the songs, cultural norms and "record players" of the time. As for the ending of this chapter? Perfect! You've built the tension about as far as my nerves can stretch! Amazing read! Shall I put in my pre-order now?--Karenina

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Tootie. Another good chapter. Including the poem was a good relief . In the early part, I was thinking Bill received a chest wound. You moved from that very well.
You Really Got Me is a great one. The Davies Brothers (Ray and Dave) were the leaders and they were at war with each other all of the time. One of the greatest bands of the sixties.
Will look forward to see what the phone call is about.
Robert

So much is happening in this story. The baby's a kicking and Billy got hit unexpectedly. I hope he'll be alright but then the telephone rang and it was the American Red Cross.....now what?

Comment from Mistydawn
What a heck of a place to end it at the call. I do hope it's not THE Call. Poor Kathy will be without her sweetheart and a baby will never know it's dad. Your chapter is a very well-written, interesting start to finish. I remembered how excited I was when my babies kicked for the very first time when I was reading it. Thank you for the memory, and for sharing your videos. I hadn't heard either song in a very long time.

A "SALUTE," Co-Author! In one word, "AWESOME!" Best chapter yet, and 90% of the credit belongs to YOU! Not often enough do I say, "You are a MAGNIFICENT WRITER, and it is a PRESTIGIOUS honor having you choose me to write at your side." Respectfully with Admiration and Tons of Love, Bill
P.S. "Toot Toot! Did you hear that train comin'?"

Hello there, Co-Author! The pleasure is all mine! Guess what? You are the MAGNIFICENT WRITE and the HONOR is all mine. I'm so fortunate to know you and write at your side! Let's do it forever and a day--why don't we! HURRAH for the the SIX STARS. They, and many more, belong mostly to you. Why? 'Cause you're the BEST! God Bless.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I loved all of Jim Reeves songs, so thank you for putting these on.
What a lovely part this was (until the end!!) The poetry, the baby kicking, Grandma and Grandpa being able to feel it. It was all so natural. But the nightmare is a big concern, and now we have that phone call. I know I have to wait now to read what's happened. Well done! Have a lovely day and stay safe! :)) Sandra xx

Comment from damommy
You did a great job with Cathy relating her thoughts in this chapter
of not only the baby but of Bill being in danger in Viet Nam. Everything
flows well between the two authors. The story is cohesive and well-told.
There's much excitement and action. I know it will continue in the next
chapter.

Comment from RPSaxena
Hello Cathy & Bill,
Lovely piece of Romance Fiction in continuation having captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end with impressive phraseology, and DRENCHED in LOVE!
The letter and Poem "Baby's a-knockin'!" - SUPERB.
The beginning of the END seems to be disturbing, but that's your style!
So, NO PROBLEM.
I'm waiting for that.
