First and only issue:

What happened to Gene and Claudia?

Why was their relationship treated like Xaden's and Violet's in Iron Flame? Anyways, back to the main story, it was so cute how I noticed the subtle tradition Don acquired--giving the flower that corresponds to the person's name on an important occasion (e.g. Daphne was given daphnes and roses for Rosie). Don has once again proven his adeptness in being human, a definition that's unconventional to his "not exactly average" personality, because he is more human that "normal people". I could not stop laughing from the instances when everything was so chaotic. He was so good at everything he puts his mind into. like Wednesday Addams (I forgot the term), but still with awkwardness and lack. Don is selfless and he deserves every possible good thing is his life: Fatherhood!
