I— I— I CAN'T. I don't know what to say, this is too great. I may have shed a tear or two while reading this just for the sheer perfection of it. So I'll just quote the parts that made me squeal the most: (I just realised that it's gonna be a loooong list, so I'm making it magically small. And my 'magically', I mean through HTML.)
When John casually suggested that since three separate doctors all said the same thing, maybe she ought to listen, Delenn casually suggested that he find a new place to sleep. and Kill him or castrate him. Maybe both. Hopefully in that order. and Wrong thing to say. Wrooooooooooong thing to say. “So I am not necessary?” she asked with a frosty voice. His wife had vanished; the woman who had turned away half a dozen EarthForce ships with nothing more than her words stood before him, and John's testicles tried to tell him that now would be a good time to run. ghaskjdhkjghaskjdh. and Well. “After you've carried him to term and delivered him, then yes.” and that entire bit with her thinking about what day it is and He didn't think Delenn wanted to recreate that time some crazy five hundred-year-old serial killer had tortured her and they'd snuggled on John's couch afterward. and perhaps (!) my favourite “Stop trying to make me say the wrong thing,” she groused. “It's up, isn't it. Knocked me up.”
And okay one of the tears might have been for how wonderful and perfect and adorable these two are as a couple.
