That was amazing. I saw you had posted and knew I couldn't leave the house without reading. Now, I really must go, and don't have time for proper feedback, but I just wanted to say, "Thank you" for this:

I was so concerned over what Lois's resonse would be.

There's a lot more in this chapter I wanted to comment on, so I'll be back later.
Oh, and thanks for giving us *2* chapters this weekend!* You had said you'd be busy, so I wasn't expecting that.
