Awe Kathy and Sean with Gus, I love that and oh dear.... Claire, I'm worried

 He had Brian and Gus for his family, in addition to his mom and Molly, and Brian now had the real family he had always deserved; for him that was enough at the moment.

Looks like you have some plans for later.  It would be nice. LOL

Justin emitted the cute little squeak he always made when he was surprised as Brian reached down and flung him over his shoulders, fireman style.

That was so cute!

......There, standing in front of him with a newspaper folded in her hand, was his ‘former’ sister, Claire.

I did not expect this. Nice cliffhanger, even though I went  right on to the next chapter. LOL



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading and all the comments!  Yeah, what a way to start your new life together, with Claire the tormenter - ha!  But I think both Justin and Brian are more than capable of standing up to her.:)

OMG..... Claire???....the "Honeymoon" is definetly over..... lol...Thanks..



Author's Response:

Yes.......definitely - ha!  If you think that's bad, wait until you see who ELSE pops up in the next chapter - ha!  Thanks for reading and reviewing, my friend.:)

Nice chapter.  I particularly liked the thought:  “He was more


amazed that he actually had family that cared enough to want to do all


that; it was certainly a major departure from what he was normally


used to.”  Wow, ain’t that the truth.  Excellent writing. 


 


However, if Justin expects Brian to have a Daddy/Finn


relationship, well I just don’t see it.  The title of Daddy is often


earned when the child is 4 or 6, or  something like that.  He is


the guy who checks under the bed for monsters, and provides


other childhood needs.  At Brian’s age, current personality, and I


should add background,  a good warm and caring relationship


may develop --  But Daddy?  Justin should lower his expectations


if  that is what he is hoping for.  (I think?)   If will be interesting


to see how you handle that relationship and how far (or really


how close) they get.


 


Terrific story.   There are  lots and lots of interesting things going


on: Brian and Finn, the election, maybe a baby, and who knows


what else!

Author's Response:

Hi, David!  I always look forward to your thought-provoking and well-constructed comments - thank you!:)  I tend to agree with you about Fin and Brian - I think eventually in this story they WILL grow closer together, but I could never see Brian calling him "Dad."  I just don't think that fits his character.  BUT - I think they CAN come to a closer relationship through mutual respect and concern.  There will be some issues and events come up through Fin's campaign that will draw them closer together in that regard.  And there will also be plenty of other emotional issues that will have to be addressed as well, for example, Justin's wish for an expansion to their family, and Tony's wish to have a more permanent, 'official' relationship with his partner.  Hope you will stay on to see how it all progresses and will keep writing your very insightful comments - thanks again.:)

Great new chapters. After he nice honeymoon, I am looking forward to see more plot now. ;) I am especially curious about what Claire wants.



Author's Response:

Hi, Kate!  Thanks for reading and reviewing - I never cared for Claire, so you can guess her interaction with Brian isn't going to be as head of his fan club - ha!  Glad you're enjoying the story.:)

Reviewer: Rixa (Anonymous) · Date: May 16, 2011 05:53 AM · On: New and Old Family Entanglements

I haven't commented before on your stories so I thought I'd take the opportunity to say how much I've been enjoying them (this one, TLC, Paper Hearts Killer, etc). Personally I can't image Brian (the one I know from the show) wanting to be a 24/7 father. But then in this story he's a little different. I noticed you removed your author's note about mpreg. Does that mean you aren't considering it for this story anymore? I enjoy mpreg stories (something I hadn't ever read about before I started reading QAF fan fiction) so if you do decide to go that route I for one will be very happy (especially if it's Justin who gets knocked up! lol)



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for leaving your very thoughtful comments, Rixa!  I'm always so delighted to hear from readers, especially ones I haven't heard from before.:)  I'm so glad you've been enjoying my stories.  You are very observant.:)  Yes, I did remove the request at the end of the chapter shortly after I posted it, because after some thought, I didn't think it would be fair to spring an mpreg angle to this story without giving fair warning at the beginning that I was going to do that.  There seems to be two fairly distinct camps about that subject, and since I was already eight chapters into the story, I didn't want to turn off readers who were enjoying it so far by throwing something that unexpected into it that maybe they wouldn't like.  That being said, though, I am still very fascinated with the idea, however implausible it may be, and will definitely think of doing that in the near future with another story (it's a pretty definite possibility, I would say).  That also doesn't mean I won't introduce another child into Brian's and Justin's lives in this story, either - in fact, in light of Brian's unpleasant experience as an adopted child, I think that would be quite appropriate in this story to prove that Brian could provide an adopted child with the loving home they deserve.  Thanks again for leaving me your feedback; hope to hear from you again in the future.  BTW - I'm about to post the next chapter of Paper Hearts Killer - if not tonight it will definitely be by tomorrow.  Thanks again!:)

oooo. thanks for reminding me to go over there.  i hadn't read showers.  very good except the ethan part.  don't like him or stories about him..guess i'm just bias.  yup i have been reading another story--but you are my and the peeps main read.  don't be jealous--i have a lot of people reading you even if they don't review(don't know why).  off to the party.  we'll find out next week who the new body is--they better like mw or they can take a break elsewhere.  he he he. lol



Author's Response:

LOL!  I know the feeling - I never liked him either!  I keep thinking of that one scene where he's standing up serenading Justin that morning after; he looked so darn pudgy - of course, after looking at Gale, who WOULDN'T look that way!  The only advantage he ever had over Brian was Justin's need to know he was cherished and loved, something that our emotionally-stunted Mr. Kinney was not very good at expressing  - at least initially anyway.  (Hard to top buying a house 'for his prince,' however!).  Don't worry, though, I'm writing the third installment and it starts out with Ep 308, so he's very fleeting!:)  Thanks for going over there and reading - I may post this one later today.:)

ooooo. thanks for telling me about showers.  hadn't been over there for awhile.  really good, except for ethan part--don't like him AT ALL. don't like to see or read about him--color me bias i guess.  yup i have been reading another story--but you are my and the peeps special one--don't eer forget that.  of to the party. lol

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: May 16, 2011 02:39 AM · On: New and Old Family Entanglements

just doodling around.  i guess by my deductions paper hearts is next.  i bet your going to start a new one.  i know how your little sneaky mind works.  it just keeps you motivated to romp from story to story.  yeah yeah.  it also keeps your readers, me for one, from being bored, seeing how your stories are the only ones i read.  i feel others go too far of the story line of qaf.  i just watched the first season again.  i know, can't get enough.  lol



Author's Response:

Hello, my dear! Just read your comment and had to laugh!  You know me too well; actually, you're right on both counts:  I'm right in the middle of writing the next chapter of PHK, but I'm also thinking of posting a story I've written a couple of chapters on already.  I think you might have already read it, though, about the showers?  It's way too quiet over here - have to get something going, don't we? Ha!  Might wait, though, to see if I can get this latest chapter of Paper Hearts Killer done before the day is over.  I'm like you - I keep viewing the same DVDs over and over again (sigh...).  If only there had been more.  BTW - You're a flatterer (which is great for my ego), but I know we've been reading some of the same stories by other writers, because I see your name popping up there occasionally.  That's okay, though - I can share you (but I CAN get possessive, just like Brian - LOL! - just make sure you don't stray too far.....ha!).  Stay tuned - we'll see how fast my typing fingers can go!:) Say hi to the Peeps for me later.:)

oh dear Brian got a lot of family interaction in this chapter. Claire is obviously wondering about the Fin connection lol and I cannot see Brian being very communicative with Claire as his morning ritual was interupted lol.

Justin wanting a baby will be a interesting development for Brian to mull over and maybe his family to grow bigger.



Author's Response:

Hi, Chris!  Thanks for the feedback. I think the title of this really fits, because there are going to be so many twists and turns throughout the story as each character works toward what they want the most.   I appreciate you reading and reviewing!  Hope you'll stay tuned.:)

Reviewer: Marny (Signed) · Date: May 15, 2011 02:46 PM · On: New and Old Family Entanglements

Lovely update, thanks

But what does SHE want!? pfff

 

* hugs *



Author's Response:

Hi, Marny!  Yeah, she's a real pain in the you-know-what, isn't she?  But like I said, they're back to reality now, as disgusting as some of it may be......thanks as always for reading.:)

Reviewer: Megan Rose (Signed) · Date: May 15, 2011 11:50 AM · On: New and Old Family Entanglements

Oh, this is not going to be good. I can imagine Claire will have plenty to say and I can wait for what Brian has to say back.

Poor boys, back to reality. I love that Brian has taken to his grandparents so quickly. And very interesting plot point, Justin thinking about children. Foreshading, perhaps...:)

 

Reviewer: lindc (Anonymous) · Date: May 15, 2011 09:36 AM · On: New and Old Family Entanglements

ah yes! back to reality.  turbulation in store for our boys, lots of angst i see coming.  nice little bomb drop (a baby perhaps in the future)  reality sucks after such a whirlwind trip.  this story is going to be major.  glad you are feeling better.  being sick sucks.   off tonite, but had to check updates.  having a going away party for rick tomorrow night-as he will be leaving early to get settled in and have some time off before he starts his new job.  he says he will keep in touch with you.  hopefully, we'll see.  lol



Author's Response:

Hello, my friend!  Glad you had a little time off for a change!  Tell Rick best of luck in the future.:)  Stay tuned on this one - we're about to go on a roller coaster ride - I didn't name it "My Heart's Desire" for nothing - there are going to be a lot of characters going after what they want and each one has a different wish.  Thanks as always for the encouragement!:)
