I would tell Deb to fly a kite

Haha, I sure understand the sentiment ;)

Just finished this great story. I had read “Back For Good” first because it was completed first. I loved both stories and really look forward to reading more of your work.



Author's Response:

I am glad that you liked both stories :)

Thanks for reading and for taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed the stories :D

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 12, 2018 07:26 PM · On: Chapter 34

Arghhh.  Everyone should feel bad for keeping things a secret.  It wasn't nice or right.



Author's Response:

We know from Back for Good that they do feel bad - more or less and in their own ways :(

Nope, not nice and definitely not right at all...

Thanks for sticking with this story and for your comments. I really appreciated them :) 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: November 12, 2018 12:47 PM · On: Chapter 34

Thank you very much for this wonderful story. the 2 were so complementary it was a pleasure. I'm waiting for the other stories you can write. Your writing is great.

Author's Response:

You are very welcome :)


I am glad you liked the two stories and especially this one! It's quite a different story as it doesn't feature any Brian/Justin (unless we count their break-up in the beginning), so I am glad you enjoyed it as well :)

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: November 12, 2018 02:33 AM · On: Chapter 34

This has been a great story and a companion to another great story.  I am sorry to see them end and look forward to ore stories from you.  Bill



Author's Response:

I am glad that you liked this story :) I know it wasn't everyone's cup of tea as there was no Brian/Justin in it, so I appreciate it even more that people actually finished it :)

Thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate them!

It was a delicious chapter. It's good that Brian is talking about Justin to Luke. we know how he will pay for the consequences of having hidden his son from him. Too bad we come to the end of this one too. You wrote 2 fantastic stories. Thank you.

Author's Response:

I am glad you liked the stories :)

Thanks for your comment!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 03:26 AM · On: Chapter 33

Luke and monsters do not get along.  I'm hoping that Justin turns up.



Author's Response:

I don't think anyone and monsters go along :P

As for Justin - we know he will only turn up when Luke is five years old and not before :( 

Thanks for your comment :) 

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 12:00 AM · On: Chapter 33

Sad to hear that there is only one more chapter.  I hope you continue this universe n a new story.  Great idea for keeping monsters away.  Always happy to see an update!!!!!!!!   Bill



Author's Response:

I thought it was a cute idea as well with the picture :)

Deb's back!  And the kids have godparents that they love.  Great job.

Wonderful chapter. Gus and Luuke could not have better godfathers

No, they couldn't :) Brian chose good godfathers for his son.

Brian was very sweet with Debbie but I have to say he is clueless about Justin's feelings.  If Debbie missed the boys, he should consider how much Justin would want to spend time with them if he knew Luke was born & Gus was with Brian.  Really enjoying your story.  It will be interesting to see Jennifer & Debbie interact at the cookout.



Author's Response:

As Brian is convinced that he has done the right thing for Justin and his career, he doesn't even think about questioning himself and his actions. We know from Back for Good that it took Brian quite a long time after Justin's return to Pittsburgh to realise the mistake he has made and he needed Justin there and needed to see the pain he had caused him and Luke to really start seeing how wrong he has been all along :(

Thanks for your comment! More will be up on Wednesday :) 

Reviewer: britintaykin (Signed) · Date: October 29, 2018 12:21 AM · On: Chapter 31

Ted is there to catch Brian if his meeting at the diner doesn't go well.  Love Ted.

I love Ted as well <3 One of the most underrated characters on the show!

Glad that Brian was able to resolve his feeling and let Debbie know how she failed him.



Author's Response:

Yes, it was long overdue that Brian told her how he felt. And she needed to hear it :(

More will be up tomorrow :) 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 25, 2018 08:39 AM · On: Chapter 30

With his therapist'help Brian finally was able to tell Debbie exactly how he felt and take her a chance.After that I wonder why he did not give a chance to Justin it was also time to put his life in order with the children.

Author's Response:

Brian said some things that have been long overdue and needed to be said - good for him!

I think we're forgetting one thing concerning Justin: We know from Back for Good that the situation with Justin was completely different than the one with Debbie. The situation with Justin was never about broken trust and we know that Brian for a long time after Justin's return still thought he had done the right thing for Justin and his career. Brian is absolutely sure he has been doing the right thing for Justin and only realised the error of his ways when Justin was back and he saw the pain he had caused the love of his life day in and out. For Brian there is no reason at all to think about Justin as in his mind he has done what needed to be done and Justin is happy in New York with his career. For Brian there is no reason to contact Justin, all it would achieve would be to pull Justin away from the career he deserves and Brian would never do that.

Brian seeing the therapist was a good step.  Having Ted not tell him what he should do was another good one.



Author's Response:

Brian really needs some therapy in his life - it helps him so much in the long run :)

And Ted once again proves what a good friend he really is.

More will be up tomorrow :) 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 22, 2018 08:57 AM · On: Chapter 29

It's normal for Brian to have a hard time forgiving Debbie she was horrible with him regardless of his stock. I am waiting to read how he has allowed her to return to his life and his sons. Great update and Carl is a good guy!

Author's Response:

Yes, she was really horrible to him and Brian is a person that has a hard time trusting anyway, so it won't be easier for him now :(

Carl is a good guy indeed :)

More will be up tomorrow!

How many more chapters of this till it's finished and are you going to finish it up this week

Author's Response:

The story has already been finished months ago (the writing that is) and is being posted twice a week, on Sundays and Wednesdays. It will not be completed by the end of the week, there are still more chapters to come :)

In total there are 30+ chapters.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: October 22, 2018 12:36 AM · On: Chapter 29

Poor Brian, that is a hard decison to make.



Author's Response:

It is indeed :(

He really deserves some happy times once all of this is over...

Sadly Deb made her bed and should lie in it.



Author's Response:

Yes, she did and yes, she should :(

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: October 19, 2018 03:16 AM · On: Chapter 28

I resisted reading this part of your story because I didn't want to see Brian's side.  Once you had B&J reconcile I decided to take a look at the dark side.  I really enjoyed this story and finding out what Brian was going through.  I still think Brian & Jennifer are rats for hiding Luke's existence but still a great story!!!!   Bill



Author's Response:

I totally understand why this story might not be everyone's cup of tea. It features no Justin, it shows Brian and the family at their worst... I totally expected that way fewer people would read it, but when I wrote Back for Good, I figured that there were parts of the backstory that deserved more attention and a deeper focus which wouldn't have worked in Back for Good, so it was really exciting for me to write this companion piece at the same time.

I am glad you're enjoying this story as well! :) 

I don't disagree about what Brian and Jennifer did to Justin - I am right with you :( 

More will be up soon! 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 18, 2018 07:56 AM · On: Chapter 28

Things are getting better for Gus and Brian too. Ted shows Brian what a true friend is without being intrusive. Great chapter.

Author's Response:

Yes, things are finally looking up :) 

And it was time that Brian learned what real friendship is like and how a real friend behaves!

More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 18, 2018 02:34 AM · On: Chapter 28

Love that Brian is getting help and that he realizes that Ted is the friend he always thought Michael was.



Author's Response:

It was long overdue that Brian talked to a therapist as well... And yes, Brian needed to see what a real friend is like :)

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 15, 2018 08:10 AM · On: Chapter 27

I'm glad that Gus is doing better. Does Brian take Billy's suggestion.? Great chapter.

Author's Response:

We'll have to wait and see - though if you've read the Back for Good story, you probably know the answer already ;)

Thanks for your comment - more will be up soon :)

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 14, 2018 09:27 PM · On: Chapter 27

I can see Brian having a talk with Ted and Blake about Gus in the future.  Bet he doesn't mention that the doc recommended that Brian see someone.  It's a push that both of them need.



Author's Response:

Maybe he will talk to them, maybe not. We'll see ;)

Thanks for your comment - more will be up soon :)

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: October 14, 2018 08:04 PM · On: Chapter 27

This will be interesting to see if Gus accepts being left for short periods

Author's Response:

We'll see - it will definitely be hard :(

Thanks for your comment - more will be up soon :)

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2018 08:15 AM · On: Chapter 26

Poor Gus losing his 2 mothers is traumatic especially with melanie behavior. Blake and Jennifer are right to advise a psychologist for Gus but Brian may need it too. The new relationship of Justin is surprising since in back for good he said there was no one or did I misinterpreted? Or it will not work. Once again great chapter very upsetting. thank you while waiting Sunday

Author's Response:

Yes, poor Gus needs help. After everything he's been put through, who could blame him? I feel bad for what I am putting the poor guy through :(

Justin was single when he came back to Pittsburgh. That doesn't mean he wasn't dating anyone at all in the five years he was in New York ;) As for why he was single when he came back to Pittsburgh? We'll see...

Thanks for your comment :) More will be up on Sunday!

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2018 07:55 AM · On: Chapter 26

Wow poor Gus but it makes sense he would have abandonment issues. I still never understood Jennifer’s stance and not telling her son

Author's Response:

Yes, poor Gus is the one that suffers most from his mother's actions. Poor guy - I feel so bad for what I am putting him through :(

As for Jennifer - it's probably not something anyone can understand :(

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2018 12:40 AM · On: Chapter 26

It's hard to realize that you are not enough for your child.  I think Brian needs help as much as Gus.



Author's Response:

Yes, he does :( Good thing we know that he'll come to realise that and will get the help that they both need :)

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 08, 2018 02:53 PM · On: Chapter 25

Poor Melanie.  Her daughter will grow up without a father that was barely involved.  Instead of being the mother they need she's turned spiteful.  Does she allow Deb to be involved with JR?



Author's Response:

With that father it's probably better for poor JR that he won't be involved too much :(

As for Deb: That has been answered in Back for Good. After Melanie has moved away from Toronto, she broke off all contact with Debbie as well and Debbie hasn't seen JR since the time prior to the trial. Brian and Justin talked about it before Thanksgiving when they were considering whether or not to tell the family that Justin was now Gus' legal guardian.

Thanks for your comment! More will be up soon :)

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 08, 2018 02:50 PM · On: Chapter 24

You're not going to let Melanie get away with trying to keep Gus away from his dad.  Even thought the judge ruled in Brian's favor she might try which is a shame.



Author's Response:

Thanks for your comment - I really appreciate it :)

By now we know what happened next :(

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 08, 2018 08:15 AM · On: Chapter 25

Melanie is really cruel and out of touch. I thought she was more intelligent she is completely blinded and does not want to realize what she does to Gus.Gus will be where he belongs. And Jennifer can be his mother figure. Brian can put his life in order.

Author's Response:

Melanie is hurt and guided by her pain :( Not a good combination and yes, the one who ultimately suffers from it all is Gus :( It's a good thing that he has at least one parent in Brian that truly loves him and only cares about his well-being :)

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: October 05, 2018 09:16 AM · On: Chapter 24

This chapter was amazing. Melanie's pettiness resulted in the loss of her and now Gus will be where he truly belongs.



Author's Response:

Yes, Gus can finally be with his Daddy and his baby brother :) 

More will be up tomorrow!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 04, 2018 08:43 AM · On: Chapter 24

I don't know what Melanie was thinking by denying Brian his visitation that first weekend, as it was court ordered. Her, as a lawyer, should have realized what a stupid move that was.? What did Melanie expect? That Brian would continue to send her $5,000 a month? Stupid woman. I look forward to Mélanie's reaction. Thank you for this wonderful chapter. Waiting for Sunday!!!

Author's Response:

We'll see Melanie in the next one and will finally get to meet her in person :)

Thanks for your comment, more will be up tomorrow!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 04, 2018 05:35 AM · On: Chapter 24

So we know know how Brian ended up with Gus.  Good job.  But will Melanie comply or will Gus have both mothers in jail.



Author's Response:

We'll see about that in the next chapter. We'll also get to meet Melanie in person then - finally :)

More will be up tomorrow :D 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: October 01, 2018 07:33 AM · On: Chapter 23

Ah the jury has made a fair verdict, the two idiots deserve the penalties incurred. I really want to know how Debbie got back into Brian and Luke's life after his behavior at the court. I think Carl did not have a good time to show her the truth. Jennifer is perfect there and Blake and Ted too..

Author's Response:

Yes, they absolutely deserve what they got!

We'll find out about Debbie and Brian later on in the story :) Same about Carl - we'll hear from him again.

Thanks for your comment! More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: ForeverLove50 (Signed) · Date: October 01, 2018 02:53 AM · On: Chapter 23

I know in Part 2 Debbie is there But after hearing what she just Spat I hope you had her coming crawling back on her hands and knees begging for giveness to ALL them especially Blake.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 01, 2018 12:51 AM · On: Chapter 23

Yes!  I'm glad the jury came to the right verdict.  Now to find out how Deb changed enough for Brian to let her into his son's life.



Author's Response:

Yes, good for the jury!

We'll see about Debbie and Brian later on in the story :) 

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 27, 2018 07:56 AM · On: Chapter 22

It's good that the trial begins. the fact that the two idiots were unable to speak to their lawyer that Brian's past proves how disconnected they are from now. I hope when they go to the bar Stephen Watson will blow them up and they will get what they deserve. Does Debbie begin to reveal Michael's involvement? is Carl going to testify too? I have lots of questions, hurry Sunday.Ted is still so effective but the distant attitude of Melanie is really strange. Thank you for the update.

Author's Response:

Yes, finally they will get what they deserve!

As for Debbie - hmmmm, we'll see soon ;)

Yes, Carl is going to testify as he was at the airport that day and is a witness. 

More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 27, 2018 12:01 AM · On: Chapter 22

We still don't know where Melanie's mind is.  We do know that Mikey and Lindsay are going to play that Brian never changed and never wanted a child to the hilt.  Not going to work.



Author's Response:

We will find out more from Melanie later on in the story!

As for Michael and Lindsay - we'll see really soon what their "defense" is.

More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 24, 2018 07:40 AM · On: Chapter 21

Jennifer talks to Brian and sh ows him his support. She does the right thing.
Ted and Blake have the situation well in hands and Melanie.what a bitch! How can she hurt Gus like that? I can not wait to see how the lawyer will explode !!
I do not want to talk about Debbie I think she is overwhelmed by grief and disappointment for what Michael did because still claiming Brian pays is completely twisted
Thank you it was an intense chapter!!

Author's Response:

Yes, Jennifer did the right thing. Just what Brian needed at that moment :)

Melanie... well... she is hurt and everything, but to let that out on Gus - a bitch indeed :/

More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 24, 2018 12:18 AM · On: Chapter 21

Unbelievable that Deb should think Brian needed to hire a lawyer to defend her son against the undefendable.  I cannot see him letting her near the baby.



Author's Response:

Well, Debbie is quite unbelievable at times :/ 

We'll see how their relationship will develop later on in this story :)

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: Giotto (Signed) · Date: September 21, 2018 11:09 PM · On: Chapter 1

OMG!I haven't noticed you wrote this story, but I'm really happy you did, cause I so love the other one. Thamnk you so much



Author's Response:

You're welcome :)

It's obviously quite a different story as it doesn't really feature a lot of Brian/Justin, but I figured some events mentioned in Back for Good deserved to be explained in more detail and it just couldn't be done in the other story, so that's how the idea for the Pittsburgh Years was born.

At least now we'll know everything in detail ;)

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 20, 2018 07:18 AM · On: Chapter 20

Ted defends Brian as a lion and tells Debbie his 4 truths. How can she ask that Brian help Michael it's crazy !!! I think she can hardly believe it but something will make her realize reality and she can not blame Brian for everything. I love this chapter Ted and Blake are the true friends.

Author's Response:

Ted is a true friend. A good friend :) As is Blake!

Debbie will come to see the truth about Michael and what he did and then we'll also see how Brian allowed her back into his life...

Thanks for your comment! More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 20, 2018 02:30 AM · On: Chapter 20

I'm surprised that after this that Brian allowed Deb into Lukes life. 



Author's Response:

I can understand that surprise -we'll see later on in the story in more detail how that came to happen!

Thanks for your comment :) More will be up soon!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 01:23 PM · On: Chapter 19

Ted and Blake are good friends and Ted has the best idea - call Carl.  Michael need to be committed.



Author's Response:

Yes, Ted and Blake are real friends :)

As for Michael: He'll get what he deserves! Soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 07:51 AM · On: Chapter 19

Ted and Blake are really good friends for Brian. Michael is really stuck in the past and I hope he will one day realize what he has done. What an odious friend. I'm waiting impatiently for the rest of it, and especially the reaction of Debbie and Melanie, was she aware of Lindsay's plan? Thank you for the update.

Author's Response:

Yes, they are good friends indeed :) 

I think Michael is too far gone in his own fantasies to ever realise and admit to himself how much pain and harm he has caused the people around him :( 

We'll see Debbie and Mel soon!

More will be up soon - thanks for your comment :) 

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: September 15, 2018 08:48 AM · On: Chapter 18

OMG! There are no words. Carl doesn't have to worry about Brian getting his hands on those two monsters. I'll take one for the team and end them myself. This chapter has me so worked up that I'll have to double my nerve pills this morning. Great job...



Author's Response:

Oh no, I hope the chapter didn't get you too angry :/ That was not my intention!

Though I am sure there will be many volunteers for doing some great pain to Michael and Lindsay right now!

More will be up soon and hopefully it will get better and the two will get what they deserve!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 14, 2018 09:25 PM · On: Chapter 18

Michael's betrayal has stamped an end to his association with Brian.  Can't wait to find out what Melanie knew about Lindsay's mechanics.  My heart hurts for Brian.  Thank goodness for Blake and Teddy.



Author's Response:

Yes, there will be no more friendship after this :/ 

We'll hear from Melanie soon and will find out then what and if she knew anything at all.

Yes, thank God for Ted and Blake - good friends on so many levels!

More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 14, 2018 02:02 AM · On: Chapter 18

Michael is no friend of Brian.  Neither is Lindsay.  Brian not being able to confort his baby was heartbreaking.

No, neither of them is a friend to Brian :/ 

It broke my heart, too :(

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 13, 2018 06:55 AM · On: Chapter 18

Of course because of the other story we knew what had happened but wow it was intense everything is explained. I understand that Brian wants to kill Lindsay and Michael because me too !! What bastards they deserve what will certainly happen to them. Thank you for this upsetting chapter.

Author's Response:

Yeah, I think you'll find many volunteers who would join you in coming after Lindsay and Michael. They deserve everything coming their way :/

More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: September 12, 2018 08:52 PM · On: Chapter 18

Wow, I knew from reading Back for Good that Luke was kidnapped, but your detail is amazing.  Oh, I just want to help Brian out and kill those two lying, nasty creatures.  Great writing.



Author's Response:

Awww, thank you :)

I can totally understand about wanting to go after Lindsay and Michael! I think you'll find many people who feel the same right now ;)

Oh my god it's so scary! What a diabolical plan still of these two, even if we know what happens after I can not help but steal. Grrrr. Thank you for the update.

Yes, it is scary indeed :(

And we'll get to the real bad part real soon!

Thanks for your comment! More will be up soon :)

Nooooo, Brian! I'm begging you, do not leave Justin's baby in the hands of that conniving wench! Sorry for getting carried away even though I already know what is going to happen. Shame on Lindsay and Michael for betraying Brian's trust. Great chapter, BTW!



Author's Response:

Yeah, if only Brian hadn't trusted in what he thought was his friend :/ So much pain could have been spared for everyone.

Shame on Michael and Lindsay for doing this to their best friend.

We'll get to the really bad part soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 06, 2018 08:43 AM · On: Chapter 16

I think Brian should be wary of Lindsay and listen to Jennifer even if it's hard to lose friends. Great chapter.

Yes, he should be very careful of Lindsay :/

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 06, 2018 03:01 AM · On: Chapter 16

Jennifer has only made things worse with informing Brian about Justin's activities.  I don't believe Lindsay for one moment.



Author's Response:

In Brian's mind, Jennifer is only confirming that he has done the right thing. That Justin deserves his career and it was right to keep Luke from him. Obviously he is very wrong about that, but he won't see it that way :/

Lindsay should never be trusted...

More will be up soon!

Poor Brian. He is learning the hard way that love can make you as blind as a bat. He would do well to listen to Jennifer's women's intuition. Great chapter.



Author's Response:

Yes, poor Brian indeed :( 

We can only hope that he'll realise the truth of her words before it's too late...

More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: September 03, 2018 07:39 AM · On: Chapter 15

Well his 2 best friends are really shit. It's so painful what they do to him. It's good that Brian is facing Michael and Lindsay and that Ben knows what they have done. This chapter was intense.

Author's Response:

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Yes, Ben needed to find out the truth about his husband and what he's been up to.

More will be up soon. Thanks for your comment :) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 03, 2018 01:36 AM · On: Chapter 15

I am so glad that Brian confronted Michael and Ben was a witness.  Ted and Emmett will testify on his behalf I'm sure and Michael and Lindsay will be a thing of the past.



Author's Response:

Yes, Ben needed to find out the truth about his husband...

We'll see about Michael and Lindsay - we can only hope :/

Thanks for your comment. More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: August 30, 2018 11:32 PM · On: Chapter 14

Wow! Michael is unreal. Ben and Deb should have drop-kicked him. Brian is doing a great job raising the baby but I am still soooo angry with him for what he has stolen  from Justin. Shame on the entire family!



Author's Response:

Yes, I can agree with your opinion on Brian and the family :( Shame on them!

And Michael - he's a hopeless case, I am afraid!

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 30, 2018 07:36 AM · On: Chapter 14

Wow I understand why Michael was able to help Lindsay in his madness. He's a real asshole, even Ben and Debbie are disgusted, the slaps behind the head are not enough or he has no brain anymore. Thank you for the update.

Author's Response:

Yes, he's an absolute asshole :/ 

Too bad the slaps don't help in increasing his brain activity...

More will be up soon :)

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 30, 2018 12:34 AM · On: Chapter 14

Even Ben is disgusted with Michael.  The man does not have a brain. 



Author's Response:

Nope, he does not :/ Wonder how long Ben is gonna live with such a brainless idiot ...

The beginning of Lindsay's shenanigans? The Lady of the manor will certainly know the father Brian! I can not wait for more even though we know a little bit about what will happen. Thank you for the update

Author's Response:

Yep, this is the start... More will be up soon :) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 27, 2018 12:20 AM · On: Chapter 13

So this is the start of the Lindsay debackle.  Looking forward to how you get her out of Gus' life.



Author's Response:

Yes, this is the start... More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 23, 2018 07:54 AM · On: Chapter 12

OMG what a beautiful chapter: the birth of Luke and Jennifer who can not help but think of Justin who will not know he is a father. She pissed me off in this magical moment.

Author's Response:

I am glad you liked it :)

Now, finally Luke is here and we'll see how he and his Daddy will do for the next five years without Justin...

I think Jennifer is very disliked at the moment - you're not alone with your feelings about her!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 23, 2018 01:18 AM · On: Chapter 12

Such a wonderful birth.  But I still feel bad that Justin doesn't know and missed this once in a lifetime time.



Author's Response:

Yes, I feel bad for Justin too :( I always will!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 23, 2018 01:05 AM · On: Chapter 11

It's great that Gus is excited about his baby sibling.  I'm a bit concerned about Lindsay.  I'd really like to see Ben getting involved and telling Michael to back off or else.



Author's Response:

Well, you're right to be concerned about Lindsay...As for Ben - we'll see him soon :) 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 20, 2018 08:21 AM · On: Chapter 11

Lindsay already has her crazy idea? Surely and Michael is still the same asshole with a selective ear Great update.

Author's Response:

Hmmm, has she? We'll see ;) 

Michael will always be Michael - at least to me :P

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2018 02:00 PM · On: Chapter 10

You have Michael down pat.  He doesn't seem to see what's right in front of his eyes or believe what he is told.  Ted is being the friend that Michael seems to think he is.  Great chapter.



Author's Response:

During the last two seasons I constantly felt that Ted was a much better friend to Brian than Michael was. Then again I was never much of a Michael fan ;) 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2018 01:47 PM · On: Chapter 9

It hurts to know that Brian thinks he's doing what's best.  Something strange seems up with Lindsay and lord knows how Mikey going to react.  But that's what makes for an interesting story.



Author's Response:

And it will get more interesting along the way ;) 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2018 07:19 AM · On: Chapter 10

Well it was Michael in all its splendor !! I hope he's really out of reach and will not hurt Brian or the baby. Which will not be the case ... Ted should have hit him. Great chapter.

Author's Response:

We will see about hurting Brian and the baby - Michael better stay away from now on :/ 

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: August 15, 2018 09:45 PM · On: Chapter 10

Omg Michael you are such a spoilt nasty man

Author's Response:

Yes, he is indeed :/ 

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: August 15, 2018 09:12 PM · On: Chapter 10

Wow! Michael was a total douche and I would have loved for Ted to punch tat idiot's lights out for Brian. Great chapter.



Author's Response:

Thank you :) Yes, Michael is one of a kind and not in a good way :/ 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 13, 2018 08:10 AM · On: Chapter 9

I wonder what Jennifer said to Cynthia? To take care of Brian? So weurd these behaviors. I'm waiting for the reaction of Michael and the girls when he goes to announce his pregnancy and Gus. I think he will have hard times. thank you for the update..

Author's Response:

Maybe that's what she said...

The girls and Michael... that will be interesting indeed. More will be up soon :)

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2018 08:39 PM · On: Chapter 8

So Emmett never learned that Brian was pregnant.  No greater love has a friend when Teddy managed to not tell Em.



Author's Response:

No, Emmett has never known about the pregnancy and is therefore someone that has never willfully betrayed Justin...

As for Ted and Emmett - we will find out more about that over the course of the story and how that worked out between them.

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2018 08:26 PM · On: Chapter 7

Considering that Deb never told Michael's father that he was a father, makes it easier to not tell Justin.  It didn't bold well for when Justin found out.



Author's Response:

Sometimes it's easier to hide behind our own past than to face what might have been wrong behaviour :( 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2018 08:16 PM · On: Chapter 5

It's good to know that Ted knows.  Brian should listen to him.



Author's Response:

If only he had done that :( 

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: August 09, 2018 11:44 AM · On: Chapter 8

I find myself not liking Jen at all in this chapter because she was selfish and only conceded about herself. She threw Justin under the bus. Emmett played right into Brian's hands by severing their friendship. And, I don't care if he's knocked up, Brian needs a good swift kick for being so blind and controlling. Rant over, great chapter.



Author's Response:

Haha, yes, somebody needs to kick his ass - the question is: Who? 

Yes, it seems as if they were all thinking more about themselves than Justin. Poor guy never stood a chance :(

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 09, 2018 07:50 AM · On: Chapter 8

Wow I can not believe Jennifer's reaction I understand but she did not deny Justin like that she should have told him for a long time. Emmett also tells Brian what he thinks, What will Brian say when he realizes that Emmett is done with him, He was a good friend of the two. I can not wait to read more.

Author's Response:

Yes, she should have told him :( They all should have!

As for Emmett - we will find out ...

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: August 06, 2018 07:32 AM · On: Chapter 7

I really do not understand how Brian was able to reject everyone's opinions and lock in Justin's career and success desire. Well it's Brian and the Kinney Cliffs.We learn a little more in each chapter but I can not wait to see why Debbie and Jennifer ended up accepting Brian's decision.Thank you for the update.

Author's Response:

To Brian Justin showed his desire for having a career by cancelling their wedding and moving to New York - that meant to Brian that Justin was serious about his career and really wanted it. Why else would he have gone as far as agreeing to cancel the wedding? We learned in Back for Good that that was a terrible lack of communication between them and that Brian completely misinterpreted why Justin has left, but add to that Brian's inability to trust and believe that someone would really love him and we're in this huge mess :( Kinney cliffs and all...

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: July 31, 2018 04:40 AM · On: Chapter 5

Wow. Brian was deer in the head lights,  full on panic mode. And poor Teddy tried to talk him down, to no avail. What a mess!. I feel for both of the guys. Great chapter.



Author's Response:

Yes, full on panic mode :/ 

A mess indeed - if only Brian could have been honest with Justin... 

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 30, 2018 08:21 AM · On: Chapter 5

Was Ted the only one to tell him the truth and confront him? He should have listened to him and not run away and talk to Justin. He did not have the right to decide for him it's so important.

Author's Response:

We'll see and find out if Ted will stay the only one that dared to tell Brian the truth... 

And yes, he should have listened to Ted and should have told Justin the truth :(

So many bad decisions!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: July 27, 2018 01:20 AM · On: Chapter 4

Why does Brian always seem to make the wrong descision



Author's Response:

Can we blame pregnancy hormones? 

Yeah, Brian isn't really thinking this through and will come to regret this later :/ 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: July 27, 2018 01:15 AM · On: Chapter 3

So we now know what Brian thought Justin might feel about things.  Boy was he wrong.



Author's Response:

Yes, very wrong :/ And one day his decisions will bite him in the ass :( 

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: July 26, 2018 09:05 PM · On: Chapter 4

Brian, Brian, Brian...SMH...so he  decided to make Justin hate him now instead of waiting for the contempt and hatred that  may or may not occur in the distant future? Seriously? Daphne should have brought Debbie along with her to slap some sense into his head. I hate seeing himsad and alone.  Still loving the story.



Author's Response:

Can we blame his bad judgement on pregnancy hormones? ;) Joking aside, Brian made really bad choices ... 

Knowing what we know about Debbie from Back for Good, I am not sure she would have been much help for Daphne. After all Debbie kept Brian's secret and didn't tell Justin either :/

More will be up soon :)

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 26, 2018 07:54 AM · On: Chapter 4

It was an intense chapter but I still do not understand Brian's reaction. As Daphne said, they went to get married, they had a house. To do that to his child to deprive him of his father is just horrible.

Author's Response:

Brian honestly thinks that he would be destroying Justin's life and a possible career by telling him about the pregnancy at this point in his young life... Is he right? No! Is he making the right choice here? No... It is horrible indeed :( 

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 09:53 PM · On: Chapter 3

I get it. Brian let his fear and negativity overwhelm his rational thought processes. The nightmare pushed him over the cliff. However, he had no right to make such an important choice without Justin's input. He was selfish even if he felt like he was doing the right thing.  



Author's Response:

No, he didn't have the right to make that choice on his own, but... Brian doesn't always think rationally when it comes to feelings, emotions and most of all love :( 

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 09:14 AM · On: Chapter 3

Wow what a bad dream !! How could Brian let him dominate his choice like that? He already knew that Justin wanted a family with him. Grrrr

Author's Response:

A bad dream indeed :( Brian's subconscious was really trying to tell him something...

Can we blame pregnancy hormones for Brian not thinking clearly? ;) 

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 03:21 AM · On: Chapter 3

Such screwed up thinking from Brian. No fair deciding what is best for someone else.  



Author's Response:

Yes, definitely screwed up, but then again Brian has always been good at that (pushing Justin into Ethan's arms, Hollywood) :(

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: July 19, 2018 01:12 AM · On: Chapter 2

Interesting side of the story.



Author's Response:

Hopefully it will give a bit more insight into Brian's side of things.

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: July 19, 2018 12:00 AM · On: Chapter 2

Shame Brian didn't contact Justin right away, but then the story wouldn't be the same.



Author's Response:

We'd certainly be missing a lot of angst and drama then ;) 

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: July 16, 2018 10:38 AM · On: Chapter 1

It's a good idea to tell the Pittsburgh part and why hide Brian's pregnancy because that's why he's getting bigger.

Author's Response:

Thanks for your comment!

I just felt that there were some events mentioned in Back for Good that deserved more time and depth than I could give them in that story. So that's how the idea for this companion piece started :)

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: July 16, 2018 02:05 AM · On: Chapter 1

We now know why Brian is gaining weight, but what possible reason could he have for not telling Justin?



Author's Response:

At this stage Brian doesn't know yet that he's pregnant...but in this story we'll see his whole thought process for what made him keep Luke a secret from Justin.

I have a feeling there will be even more Brian hate coming my way ;)

More will be up soon!

Reviewer: Enohvee1875 (Signed) · Date: July 15, 2018 11:48 PM · On: Chapter 1

Nice job on this first chapter.  It great that you're filling in the blanks for us. Can't wait to read more.



Author's Response:

You're welcome :) When I was writing Back for Good, I realised that some events just deserved more time than I could give them in that story and that's how the idea for this story started to develop :)

More will be up soon!
