Summary: 
This is the final story in the Double Trouble Trilogy. It picks up about 6 years after 'Graduation' ends. JR is happily married to husband Noah and pregnant with her first child... the first Grandchild for Brian and Justin. Gus is also happily married to husband Jason. This couple wants nothing more than to also make Brian and Justin Grandparents, but it has not been as easy for them. Then, out of nowhere, someone from Gus and JR's Canadian past comes back into their lives and may be the solution that Gus and Jason have been praying for.
