Oh man I am sorry to see this end. It is one of my favorites. I can see Kevin honestly doing that. He does have a big heart. I really wish you could turn this into a series. And I understand some of what WIC doctors go through. Personally I think they go through more that most. Keep up the excellent work.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for all your reviews and for reading it. I know it's not necessarily everyone's cup of tea. When I first saw this challenge, Kevin was the only one I can picture doing this. I think I relate to him the most as well, so I didn't have to "make up" too much about his personality if that makes sense. WIC is a great thing, but yes working there can be frustrating. Thank you again!

Really enjoyed it and well done on finishing your longest story :)
I can imagine people being like that, some people just don't care, whilst others are willing to make changes. It was very real and well written.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my story. And yes, just like Kevin...I get my fair share of people that just don't give a shit. But it really is worth it I think.

A great ending, Sel. Your job actually seems pretty interesting, encountering all types of people on a daily basis. Reading this actually makes me appreciate what you do in a way. Despite the "bad" days you may have, you just gotta remember that you are helping people. At least the ones that want to be helped, they're the ones that will listen and try to change things.
I have really enjoyed this and can't wait to read your newest masterpiece, you've really got a talent for this and like I've said, I didn't think I'd be any good at it either. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and keeping up with this story, MA. My job is pretty interesting, we get all kinds of people in there daily. I hope I can come up with something soon. I've been trying brainstorm some ideas.

Thanks for another chapter, Sel. It's sad to know that some parents just won't take responsibility of their kids or put their foot down when it comes to diet and whatnot. Same with abusing the system like you showed with that woman calling about needing more formula. But I guess you had to show what a bad day can be like. I did like Kevin and Howie's convo, maybe he'll be in the last chapter? :)
Author's Response: As usual, thanks for reading and reviewing :). Yeah, this is obviously not necessarily a typical day. The story takes common experiences and makes them happen in a short span of time. No one would want to read a boring day. lol. And idk about Howie...long story about his character in this story. I don't have the rest completely finished yet so we'll see.

Aw the last chapter is coming up?? No!! Is there any chance you could make this into a full blown story? Please!! So far it is excellent and addicting. I like how you keep Kevin how he really is but put your own spin on things. Keep up the great work.'
Marguerite
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I didn't know who would be that interested in this story since it's an AU that puts Kevin in a completely different place. Idk about a longer story...I may eventually. Kevin is the only one that I can see do this job and stay who he is (or who I think he is). lol. And I write him coming from my perspective mostly which is why it's in first person. I relate to him which is why I made him the main character. Thank you again for reading and reviewing.

I know it's nice to give the kids treats, but parents have got to know when to stop. I bet you see some that just give the kids McDonalds and stuff like that all the time!
Great chapter, looking forward to more :)
Author's Response: Oh, that's like every person! lol. What irks me is the fact that parents "treat" their kids to fast food which is what sets that up for bad eating habits. What Kevin feels throughout this whole story tends to be how I feel. lol. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Oh I really like this. Almost made me cry. Kevin really learned something & Aj was very sweet. I hope you write more of this story. Excellent update.
Marguerite
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Yeah, Kevin can be a bit judgmental working where he does...but he's great. He ultimately cares about the kids and just wants to help. Sometimes it takes someone like in this chap to get him on the right track and back to the reason why he took the job in the first place. I probably have a couple more chaps...haven't decided how many.

Great update! I loved his story with the clowns and tripping over the apple. Just shows that appearances can be deceptive!
Author's Response: Definitely :) You know I had to come up with a ridiculous way he hurt himself. Love the man, but he can be a spaz! Lol. Thanks for the review!

Aw, how sweet. Go AJ for being there for his girls. Major brownie points for this chapter, hehe. :D Imagining AJ with a daughter(s) is adorable. Great update, I'm gonna be sad when this ends. lol
Author's Response: Thanks Hun :). You know I had to make our man a good one! I can totally picture him with one (or more) little girls! Lol

Yay, AJ's turn. lol LMAO at that coordinator yelling for Kevin down the hall, that does sound annoying. And that "Shu-nya" girl was annoying too. lol Thanks for another update.
Author's Response: Yay for Aj's turn! And yeah, funny that you mention the coordinator. As you were reading that we were in a meeting where the "yelling is unprofessional" topic was brought up. I told ya'll...this is like an autobiography. LOL. An yes, mispronouncing names is a daily occurrence. I'll update again probably later this week. Thanks for reading as always!
Date: 09/28/10 05:42 pm Title: Chapter 3
Oh this is really getting good now. I can't wait to read more. Keep up the excellent work.
Marguerite
Author's Response: Thank you! I'll probably have an update for ya'll later this week.
Date: 09/28/10 10:48 am Title: Chapter 3
Great chapter! And yes, it sometimes annoys me too that these people get stuff for free, whilst those of us who work have to struggle in life.
Looking forward to more when you are ready :)
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing! I understand why these programs are put into place and I'm glad that they're there or else I wouldn't have a job! But what I don't like is the complaining. It's not like we treat them badly! We're just trying to get the weight and counsel you. LOL.

Aww that was a lovely chapter and even though Nick is a big kid, he's sweet!
I bet you see all sorts of people in your job, some good and some bad.
Great update, looking forward to more :)
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, I'm sure he would be sweet. I decided to have him but supportive but panicky. Lol. And I wanted to somehow get across Kev and Nick's relationship in some way. And yeah, we get some really nice and caring dads in the clinic sometimes :)
Date: 09/22/10 01:27 am Title: Chapter 2
Another great update Sel. :) I like how you've used the Boys so far in the story, I can see Nick freaking out like that in real life. lol Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks! I had to get creative to add them in the story. I wouldn't be very believable to have all those men as coworkers. LOL
Date: 09/21/10 10:58 am Title: Chapter 1
Great chapter, and I know he's not earning loads of money, but a job is better than no job. At least it's a job he enjoys :)
Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: I definitely agree. Especially in the position that they're in. And the one they were in before. New chap is up :) Thanks for reading!
