...I could think up something clever...

Really can't though. Mainly, I'd like to apologize to my woefully neglected flist. I have been very sick all week. To the point that last night I turned off my comp and went to bed at 6:30 PM. I'll spare you the details as I'm sure you all don't need them, but I'm sure that anyone who knows me can attest that this is just not normal behavior.

I'm very behind in reading journal entries, comm posts, discussion lists, forums, and even my personal email, which is generally the first thing I check when I get on in the morning. I've dropped the ball with banner making and stuff that I've promised, too. I'm very sorry. So consider this my official apology for anything I've missed and shouldn't have. I'll be trying to catch up as much as I can in the coming days.

I hope I can make up for it by posting a big, fat juicy fic for my RH readers. I've literally been working on this since the day after 200 aired. You might guess why when you take a look at the word count.

Thanks go first and foremost to my friend Tammy, who's been my pregnancy consultant for anything I've written about Vala's impending motherhood and put up with several phone calls from me during the labor scenes. I have taken a bit of artistic liscence. If anything is glaringly wrong with the scene, it reflects solely on my lack of ability as a writer to accurrately portray the experience the way she told it. Also thanks to Profsilverback for beta, though I did at and change quite a bit after he went through it, so any errors are soley mine. aruna7, stargatefangurl, literarylitany, and nerca_beyul also deserve major thanks for their ideas, input, and reading various chunks of dialogue/narration.
