Life is good when you're a hopeful and confident young scientist.
Life is even better when you're a hopeful and confident young scientist with an ironclad plan for the future, and a partner by your side who not only shares your vision and dreams, but also loves you more than anything else.
Just like Black Honey, this story is entirely based on Shinodage's ask blog telling the story of Delta Vee and her family.
As usual, all credit for the characters and places used in this story (as well as the cover image) goes to the great man himself.
Cheers to NumberEight and Pahnazd for their proofreading and editing-work!

Makes you really wonder what eventually went wrong, huh?
Still, a wonderful little fluffy story, this was a pleasure to proofread
It's been great reading some more
\DeltaV and Jet!One can't but envy such serenity

Indeed. It felt great writing something happy and innocent involving them for once.

Hmm ok... getting a bit confused here...
The main issue is what the hell happened to make ΔV into such a pissed off mare...
Jet Stream seems supportive, loving and almost bending backwards to accommodate Delta...
I'm out of idea on what can have brought on the almost broke, living in a junkyard Delta...

Fixed. Cheers!

Well, I'm not going to spoil anything, but essentially the two broke up a few years later, and while Jet continued to be the successful businessman, Delta just didn't make the cut, so to speak, for a variety of reasons.
And really, to me it always seemed like Jet would still be willing to help her out in any way possible, and she just doesn't want his help - which, if you ask me, is fairly understandable, looking at their past as a couple.

Yes that is quite clear... but still is the details of how that happened that I can't fathom ^^;;
Waiting to see how it went ^^
It hurts so much to know just how much these two were in love at one point before their breaking off at one point. Every ounce of my being wants to see Delta get better and have the two of them get back together. To see Jet, Delta, and Apogee be the sweet, happy family that she envisions in this chapter. This was a wonderful little piece, man, great job!

Thanks man. It was great fun thinking of what that perfect family all of them envisioned at some point might look like and I kinda, sorta dedicated half of my next story to that idea.
But in any case, I'm glad you liked it!

From everything I have read it seems like Jet and Delta had slightly different life goals. Jet wanted the traditional family unit, and to build up a successful company. Delta seemed to just want to build up a successful company, and may be have a little fun along the way.
As can sometimes happen between two young adults having fun a baby was made.
Now from what I have read this is the big turning point since Delta had planned to build a company... not get pregnant, and have to put her dreams on hold. It is hinted at that Jet became more well known while Delta was stuck as the stay at home housewife.
We do not know what the tipping point was that sparked Delta's decision to leave, but a big blow out happened between her and Jet ending with her running away from everything...including her daughter.
She then proceeds to make every wrong choice you can possibly make for what seems like no better reason than to keep her hate for Jet alive.
Jet still loves her and wants to make things right, but she will not let him.
Delta has let her hatred of Jet decide everything about her life...if Jet wouldn't like it then she is going to do it...if Jet wants her to be happy then she is going to be angry.
Any bad thing that happens in Delta's life will be blamed on Jet.
Both Jet and Delta have made mistakes, but so far only Jet has admitted his mistakes and is trying to move on while Delta seems hell bent on living in her own version of the past where she has done nothing wrong and it is always someone else's fault...
In the end the one who is hurt the most with all this is Apogee.
Not for long...
