What a nice trip into New York and I love how you put Randy in the story. Way cool.
Author's Response: Thanks- thought it would be fun to mention real life events and incorparate them into the story. I might actually get to see the show if he is still touring with them in March. The local boradway production is bringing Cabaret to my city and we have season tickets. I hop[e he's still touring at that time.

Looks like Brian and Justin are well prepared for their little one. So glad Cyn is the surrogate, she won't be using the littleone like Linz uses Gus.
Good that the boys are having a small vacation before the event.
Feel Jen will be better at helping them than Deb, she is too brash ane over does all the time.
Fantastic update, thanks for sharing!
JoAnn
Author's Response: Brian and Justin are as prepared as possible. I think Jen will be thrilled to have a biological grandchild but will know well enough to stay back when needed.

The closer to this baby coming, the less I like this Brian. I hope Justin is right an out Brian changing once the baby's born. Justin has to remember that Brian wasn't around Gus 24/7. Its going to be tough that's for sure.

Oh joy! Another chapter and about shopping. I can just imagine Brian acting that way. Why is it they never had this stuff when my kids were born.
Author's Response: Brian does love his shopping- Yeah- didn't have this stuff when my kids were little either- based on my grandson's tons of paraphenalia

No couldn't picture Brian in Lamaze classes. Justin's just wonderful about it all. Brian certainly has some conditions for going to the second day. Sure Justin won't mind meeting them. Fun story. Touching and heartbreaking at times, like when Debbie or the girls or Michael open their mouths. But all in all it's fun. I thought this would be posted on another site but This fine.

Hope Brian and Justin beat some sense into Linz, Mel, Mikey and Deb.
Thanks for sharing, RL can be very hard sometimes, take care.

I'm glad that Gus is not disappointed about not living with his Daddy & Justin. Families can be really "helpful". I am thinking they might hear about that helpfulness from Brian. Still really enjoying your story. Bill

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: January 23, 2016 07:30 AM · On: Chapter 10- Christmas Aftermath
Thank you for this terrific story.
We got a problem with Gus. He has determined that he is moving in with Brian and Justin and is learning things to help take care of the baby. No, Gus is not moving in, we are going to have a very unhappy Gus. He is going to be one very disappointed kid. We can be sure that Brian and Justin will try to explain to him once again that he is very important to them and will always be. I don’t think that will be enough. I just hear him asking ifAC the new baby can move in, then why can’t he. Good luck trying to explain that.
I will be interesting to see how all this plays out, but I fear, very badly.

Reviewer: Nichelle Wellesly (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2016 05:36 AM · On: Chapter 10- Christmas Aftermath
By the look of this chapter, and thanks to wanton-speaking 'adults' (I'm certainly using the term loosely), the next chapter will probably be named "Ode de Tantrums" starring Gus Peterson-Marcus (Kinney)! I sure hope that B&J can reassure him and remind that poor darling that they have NEVER lied to him unlike the other pain in the ass adults (there's THAT word again) in his young life. Lindz, Mikey and Deb (possibly even Mel by default) should all be tarred, feathered and GAGGED throughout the remainder of the baby wait!
In the meantime, thank you for giving me a well-timed and well-written diversion from my own work!
HUGS,
~Nichelle
Author's Response: Nichelle:
Thanks for thoughtful comment. I don't hide my dislike for some cannon characters and I write them in the future in the same vane. Lindsay and Melanie only want Brian for the money he contributes while Lindsay has fantasies of the nuclear family with Brian as the leading man. I can't imagine Brian forgetting Gus, even with a new baby.
I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the story and it is keeping your interest. Updates are soon coming. Just need to find a new beta- if you know of anyone- please pass their name to me.
Reviewer: Blossomlegs (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2016 05:11 AM · On: Chapter 10- Christmas Aftermath
Brilliant update!
Looks like Gus is goig to have a confusing/hard time when the baby arrives. Mel, Linz, Deb and Mikey shouldn't be saying such negative things in front of him about how wrong it is for Justin and Brian to have this baby.
Hope Brian and Justin canmake him understand that they will still love him as much as they do now and they will still have time for him.
Good to see Brian and Justin standing up to Linz and not gettingaway with her bull----.
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to next.

Lindsay is going to be sorry. Brian will distance himself from her if she isn't careful. It's about time that they caught onto her jealousy. They'll make great parents, and no matter what, there will be Cynthia.
Author's Response: Aboslutely. Lindsay is walking on thin ice and she may fall in, only to find that no one will rescue her. I think Brian and Justin will make great parents.

The baby should be here soon. It's disappointing to see that Mikey and Deb are not being supportive. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: The baby should be here soon. I was hoping to have it arrive before the end of the year but it doesn't look like that will happen. I think it will take as long to write the story as it takes to have a real baby. ( lol) but regardless, thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know you are enjoying the story.

All I have to say is that Mikey needs to give it a rest already.
Author's Response: Yep- totally agree- I'm not a Micheal fan
Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2015 01:02 AM · On: Chapter 8 - Jealousy is a Green Eyed Monster
Yep, I am still out here, and still enjoying this story.
As for Michael, I don’t give a damn what he thinks. He just doesn’t matter to me. I am glad you wrote the chapter, but Michael will never understand that bond between Brian and Gus and Justin and Gus. But Michael is right about one thing, Brian will have less time for him. But more importantly, Brian will ‘want’ to have less time for Michael.
Again, thanks for the story. We sure have come a long long long way.
DavidR
Author's Response: Thank you for continuing to read despite the slow process in writing the story. I really don't like Michael- he needs to grow up and I don't understand how Ben ever stayed with him. Yes, when the baby comes, Michael will definetly be low on the total pole.
Reviewer: Nichelle Wellesly (Signed) · Date: October 25, 2015 04:24 PM · On: Chapter 8 - Jealousy is a Green Eyed Monster
Hey Darling! Just catching up with this story and I can't wait for MORE!!! OH Good God's Garage where do I start??
I am absolutely EXCITED that Brian and Justin have chosen Cynthia for the baby. I wanted to smack the fire out of Lindsey and Melanie several times during the series for the way they discounted Brian's feelings/ role in Gus' life. It's nice to read fics where they get their comeuppance for that and they preconceived notions are proven false. With that in mind, I have to say it was also REFRESHING to see Melanie as the voice of reason when speaking with Lindsey and Michael about Brian and Justin's relationship/parenting of Gus. I think this is finally opening her eyes and seeing the Brian that Justin has seen since night 1.
As always I want to put a muzzle on Michael. Honestly, I don't know how Ben did it in the series and I certainly don't while reading the various stories. I always find it strange that in a friendship 15 years in the making, Michael never got to see and understand WHO Brian was underneath all the bravado. But I guess we can attribute the saying "People see only what they want to see" to Michael- a character who refuses to accept change and has no filter to accept reality. I seriously hope reality takes a big bite out of his ass big time...LOL
My prediction: Michael and Lindsey will lose their minds once the baby arrives. Gus will go stay with his Dads. And Melanie will restore Brian's parental rights so that Michael can no longer use that as a Brian Bashing Tool. Well at least that's what I would love to see happen. However, I am LOVING your story as is! Although I will continue to follow this, I can't wait until it's finished so that I can read all the related fics back-to-back again. You've done one helluva job on the series so far and I'm HOOKED!
Happy Writing!
~Nichelle
Author's Response: Nichelle:
First, let me say thank you for the well thought out and generous comments you left on the story. As a writer, I aprpeciate each and every comment but is always nice to have a long discourse.
Cynthia seemed to be a good choice for the surrogate. I know in many stories, folks have chosen DAphne, but I didn't want that for them. I thought Daphne was better suited to being an Aunt than a surrogate mom. The time that Justin and Daphne had sex brought way too much angst to their relationship and I just didn't think that was a good combination.
I totally agree about Ben. It just seems wrong that anyone would stay with a spouse where it was obvious that their feelings for someone else are still very much to the surface. Michael wants Brian and he really isn't ready to accept that Justin has him.
Not going to address your prediction- it will spoil the story. Glad that you are enjoying the story and I hope the ending will be good for you.

Urgh Micheal is such a controlling putz! He just never gets a clue no matter how many times he is told!
Author's Response: Michael does not realize that Brian has grown up and that he wants different things in his life. Maybe one day, he'll realize that Brian has the right to change.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 24, 2015 04:06 PM · On: Chapter 8 - Jealousy is a Green Eyed Monster
Love how Melanie is the voice of reason. Ben too. Michael has a one track mind and has lost the ability to empathize with other people.
Author's Response: Thank you for the comments. I think Melanie sees Brian a little differently. True, she is not a big Brian fan but I think that is more due to the jealousy she feels for Linds' feelings for him. I've never seen how Ben can put up with Michael.

still reading...and still enjoying and anxious to see what happens
also - while I am admittedly not a Michael or Mel fan - it is refreshing to read a story where Michael is actually positively involved in JR's life - the parents get along - and except for the Michael and Brian whinefest...the usual resentments and Brian bashing ae not the main character - thanks for that
and - not that it will stop him - I'm glad everyone is letting Mikey know they don't agree with him
looking forward to more

Michael's still an ass, and I think everyone is finally getting a bit tired of his immature rantings. No redeeming qualities, can't see what Ben is suppose to.
Author's Response: I've always wondered what Ben saw in Michael. I think I totally lost any respect for the man when he told Brian that Justin should have died after the bashing.
Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: September 21, 2015 01:02 AM · On: Chapter - All About Gus
Thanks for the chapter, it was good.
There sure looks like a problem will exist with Gus. Brian
and Justin failed to convince him that with the new baby, they
will still find lots of time for him. I wish Brian had told Gus
about the day Gus was born, and the bond that had formed
instantly. No matter what, a new child or whatever, that bond
is never broken. I think Gus would have understood that.
Now of course, when his plan is rejected, he will feel rejected,
and I guess it will be up to Brian to convince him of otherwise.
It sure won’t be easy.
Thanks for the story, I do enjoy each update.

Author's Response: David:
Thanks for the wonderful comments. It is an idea to have Brian talk to Gus about the day he was born- I might use that. Glad you are enjoying the story.

Great update. I just have to ask though what the hell is wrong with everyone? Why would they even fix their lips to tell Gus that his dad's won't have time for him or would forget about him? They need to check themselves.
Author's Response: Thanks- The gang is true to form- not thinking and still believing Brian is the "bad guy". I don't think they ever learn.
