Title: You Have My Heart (in your hands)
Author: Ruth Sadelle Alderson
Pairing: Gabe/Victoria
Rating: FRAO
Word Count: 37,000
Disclaimer: Made up. I learned everything I know about pregnancy, childbirth, New York State custody law, and real estate from the internet; please do not take anything in this story as medical, legal, or real estate advice.
Summary: Victoria finds out her boyfriend's cheating on her. Then she finds out she's pregnant. Cobras are never alone, and Gabe's there every step of the way.
Notes: When I was trying to come up with an idea of what I wanted to write for bandomrarepair, schuyler said, "Dude, you know what Gabe loves in real life? Babies. Dude loves babies." The next thing I knew, I was emailing her a little bit of this story every day.

Thanks to schuyler for being my cheerleader, providing advice, and loving this story even as she grew to dislike the actual Gabe and Victoria. Thanks to eleanor_lavish who was another source for things I didn't know. Thanks to lakeeffectgirl for the editing read through. Thanks to B, who, although he doesn't read fic and probably won't see this, paid attention to what I was saying about this on Twitter and cheered me on with how impressed he was by the story's length.

Title from New Found Glory's "Too Good To Be."

I really think this was what I needed today, so thank you in advance. Also - warning for intense spammage, because I know me.

I really enjoyed this, and I've never been a big Gabe fan before. I loved all the layers to it!

This is my delicious bookmark, btw: "HAHAHAH what the fuck am I reading these days XD. This is Cobra Starship Gabe/Victoria het-pregnancy-baby fic. And it is AMAZING. Because true love can sneak up on you. Because the band and especially kid-loving Gabe are so amazingly kind and supportive and helpful and awesome -- and because at any point, Victoria is totally capable of doing it on her own, totally capable of *choosing* to do it on her own. She bakes her own cake, and the awesomeness of her friends, and family, and especially her Gabe? Are just delicious icing."

Thanks for this fic! It made me smile. :D
