I have been so thrilled all the way of reading this special episode, long-waited since Season 5 and I think this is an absolutely memorable episode!!! I think the story of the birth of the baby is just right for our brave and high-spirited heroes and it is very very touching!!! David fights through against many roadblocks to reach Maddie and Maddie fights through with her labor pains. Their fights are not easy as usual, which made me feel a little uneasy but that is OK because I know and enjoy Moonlighting thrill. ;D And I felt my heart beating from Act 1 to the baby birth and my eyes wet when I heard David tell Maddie their adventures...climbing the clock and so on... and "We will do it together!" I think this is essential for David and Maddie; togetherness, and I am so glad to see finally they did it together! I think I am being a little emotional right now, I will be back after reading again a couple of times. Thank you Jen for the wonderful gift!

It's because of this I try to comment on every single episode or fanfic I read: "To our readers…you make the hours I’ve spent doing this worthwhile. Your responses help me be a better writer, and touch my heart, too…because they show how much you care." Jen...we do care, we love all the episodes you do! Everything is always just spot on! We love you gals and all the hard work you put into this!!! Lets hope it keeps going for a long long time. Because to me, this baby has opened the door to so many possibilities, and I for one can't wait to read them!!! I am sure you girls will come up with some doosies!!! Now on to the episode....some of my favorite moments/quotes: - The elves were fantastically funny!!! Great great idea there! Loved that! - I loved all the advice Maddie got on what to do since the baby was late! I heard a lot of those myself. (tea, Mexican/spicy food, vacuuming, castor oil (YUCK), sex...well yes by far the best one. ;D ) - And I loved the quote: "Two weeks! Don't even think about it bunny!" LOL!!! - Loved Moms reaction tho the word "ring"! LOL!!! Maybe one day Mom (and yes...me too) will get that engagment ring on Maddies finger. ;D (softly begging). - I LOVE how David calls Maddie "slim"! Hahahaha...and she don't slap him for it! I guess there could be worse things to be called! LOL! - And who are we kidding...Maddies attempt to get things rolling....GREAT!!! "Are you telling me you just wanted my....stuff...I feel so used..." PRICELESS!!!! Im sure he would'nt mind being "used" over and over again!!! - The exchange in the middle of the night when Maddie "thinks" she is in labor is priceless! David not quite believing its really time - then the happiness when he relizes its realy time - or so they think! - "Braxton-Hicks contractions my foot - those suckers hurt!" - LOVE that line...I can sooooo hear Maddie saying that! - I loved to see them "fighting" again over the apartment. It was time for a good ole knock down drag out. Just what was needed to get those "juices" flowing! - Epidural time is priceless! Davids poor hand...but totally relatable!!! - I loved how Maddie had a car collection in her purse! My Megan does too! :-) Nice to know girls play with boy toys. - The speech at the end...swoon! "You're the strongest person I know...lets do it together... - Did Maddie really think the name Bunny was going to disappear? Really? Sooooo not going to happen. ;D - One of my favorite lines...."I think you made his decade...Well you had a hand in it to y'know...Well not a hand exactly...." ROFL for real!!! LOVED that!!! - And the icing on the cake...it was a GIRL!!! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! The VM board has been speaking to me threw my Droid for a while now!!! LOL!!! And I adore the name Ellie! I have known a few Ellies and they are all pinch your cheeks adorable!!! Great great job ladies!!! Enjoy a good break!!! This will keep me very happy for a little while. (Not a 5 year break little while mind you...but for a bit). Loved it....loved it....loved it!!!! Wonderful Job - Take a bow! My virtual glass is toasting you all right now!!! CHEERS!!! Now go get thinking on what comes next. :-) xooxoxox, Kim Have a great Christmas!!!!

This event has been a long time coming for so many, including me. Maddie and David truly deserve this special gift and you gave it to them in the most perfect way. I've been on Cloud 9 all day! And my heart is as full as David's. .....pass the Puffs, please....

Aw, thanks bees!! I have to admit, I teared up a little myself--just imagining the two of them, finally getting this gift they'd dreamed of...well, it was pretty emotional.
I can't wait to see where little Ellie takes them...

For two long weeks I've been waiting and dreaming and wishing... but, most of all, checking the site about 10 or 20 times a day... and finally there it was: the greatest episode ever, obviously written by you, Jen! Have I ever told you that you're great? Yeah, but I just can't help it! I read the episode without knowing who the author was, but I felt that it was you, cause every word, every scene was just perfect! The Wobblies scenes... just memorable! The rescue crew will always stay in my memory as well as in my heart, especially Jergenson and O'Neill's cars! And what on earth could ever help Maddie get into labor? Getting mad at David, of course! I had been missing the sound of slamming doors! Thanks Jen, you made me so happy! And you got me so excited and thrilled line by line that I really felt deeply involved in this birth!

Congrats to all the authors... You (s) did it!
What a great ride it has been. I have been a big fan since the pilot. Like the rest of you i wondered "Why no happy ending?" Then about a year ago I discovered VM. Well you ladies have done it. What a great episode! Like all the work, this episode was well done, well written, just wonderful stuff. I know a lot of guys don't comment on this site, and i don't even know if any guys read this, but i do. All of you ladies are to be congratulated. Thanks for Cybil, Bruce and Glenn, and thanks again to you laidies for such a great site. If you ladies keep writing, i will keep reading. Thanks a million! Happy b-day Ellie

Elisa, You are very, very welcome. So glad you enjoyed and felt involved--being able to conjure emotion in a reader is a writer's greatest goal! The Wobblies pretty much wrote themselves in this one...they just cracked me up! grcvststmnn, First of all, welcome to the board! I think you should know, I've just spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out what your name refers to...I bet it's something super-clever, but I have to admit myself stumped. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. It's always great to get the male POV, both here and on davidandmaddie.com. As for VM, the next half of the season will continue in the new year...parenthood opens up all kinds of possibilities for David and Maddie!

When I read for the first time, I was so delighted and I couldn’t express all my feelings about the episode. I’d like to start with "Congratulations!" to Maddie and David! "I am very happy for you two!" And to Ellie, our love, "Happy, Happy Birthday to You!" And of course, to Jen and VM team, "Huge Thanks from me!" I agree with you all, all the comments written on the board and the other board are so true! During my second reading, it left a deep impression. How real Maddie’s labor scene, and how great David’s support, and Virginia and all the Blue Moon staff are individually living. And during the third time reading, I chose my very favorite scenes. Bert was disguised as a pregnant woman and he quickly pretends to be a woman in labor, panting and moaning…the scene is extremely funny, and the officer’s reactions are funny too, it makes a great comedy! ;D Maddie’s sudden fury helps herself give birth to the baby, although she never means it, (I think David knows it very well) I felt it was very Maddie. She is really sizzling, very impressive. And I will be disappointed if she quits getting angry. ;D There are many more scenes which I love, but I think I should stop here. Thank you again, Jen! I can’t wait to see what comes the next!
