Hi, Kim!
Sorry, I've been MIA for so long, but RL is still being a bit of a bitch and is not letting me enjoy myself to the fullest quite yet.
Anyway, I am happy that I finally have a decent chunk of time to spend on reading today and I'm so glad I started with this chapter - it was a good one! I loved reading about Fin and Tony's romance and the scene between Alex and Debbie. I am curious what you'll end up doing with Alex's character, but my marshmalloyee heart desperately wants her to end up with Brian and Justin. I keep imagining the court system thinking that Carl and Deb are too old to take on a teenage runaway and threatening to send her to a foster home, or worse a group home, and BJ charging in on their white horse and adopting her at the last minute...or something totally cool, yet unrealistic like that. :) But however it turns out, I'm sure you'll make it wonderful, so I can't wait to find out.
That's it for this chapter. Now, I am happily going to read the next one. Lucky me!
Hugs,
Vin
Author's Response: Hi, Dear Friend! It is so great to see you reading again. Sory to hear that RL is still giving you grief. I do hope that things turn around for you soon. Thank you for reading this last two chapters and for your comments. I'm glad that you enjoyed them. Yes, Alex is going to be the real conundrum here - does she stay with Carl and Debbie, who should really be thinking about their 'golden years' of retirement rather than raising a child, Brian and Justin - who has his heart set on a baby of his own, or perhaps place her into the foster care system with total strangers? Or is there some other option still? And how will Tony & Fin react to living in the governor's mansion? And what about Tony's wish to be married like Justin and Brian are? Obviously I still have more to tell here. I hope you'll be able to come back and read along as you get time.
Drop me a liine sometime if you can and let me know how you are doing so we can catch up. I think of you often and hope that in the future we can meet up again. Tell your mother I said hello, and I hope one day you will honor us with some more of your own, wonderful writing. Take care, Vin. Sending a big hug your way. *Hugs* ~Kim

"Let's see what YOUR paralegals can find out."
I think I love the story of Fin and Tony even more than Brian and Justin's.
Author's Response: Hi, Sandra I can understand that in a way. I have really grown to love these two guys, kind of like an older version of their counterparts, but hopefully still somewhat unique. I think their relationship will continue to evolve here, just like with Brian and Justin.
Thank you for reading and for the comments, my friend; I will get another part of this up soon. *Hugs* ~Kim

Great chapter. Amazing story.
I like the way Fin and tony meet for the first time

Author's Response: Hi, Susana! Thank you for reading and for the comments, my friend. I really appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about how Fin and Tony met; I have been wanting to do that for some time now. I will get the next part of this posted very soon. Looking forward to seeing you in March! *Hugs* ~Kim

so glad to be able to visits with all the great characters in this story - and of course with our boys
while the election campaign gave great story - and of course got everyone where they need to be for the plot to move forward - we know its all about the love - and there are so many relationships to drive the next chapters that I truly can't wait until the results are in and we can look at each of them more closely...
Brian and Justin...of course...family planning...still learning more about each other as they grow...what's not to love? And if they do decide to have a baby...who will be the momma - and what part will she play in their lives?
Brian and Fin...their story is not done...they still have things to work through and feelings to share and memories to make...
Justin and Tony...other than Daphne - all of 'their' friends have been Brian's friends...I love that Justin's actions brought this man into their family...and it has been great to watch their friendship develop
Alex and...everyone! There are so many layers to this story - Justin seeing through her anger is just the beginning. And her relationship with Debbie will allow us to look at her through totally new eyes as well.
ok...I'll stop...lol...for now! rotfl - This story could go on for a long long time...and so I must stop myself from doing the same. ha ha
So looking forward to more...and congrats on the apparent win in the challenge - you deserve it!
Charle
Author's Response: Hi, Charle - I am always so flattered by how much time and care you take with your comments; thank you sincerely for that, my friend.;) And yes, there ARE a lot of layers to this story. Just when I think I can wind it down with the election coming up, I realize how much more I want to cover here. There IS a lot more to it after the election. In a way, the election was never really the point of the story, athough it did serve a purpose. I always thought the human aspect of the story - how each of the characters continue to evolve and grow, especially the four men - was really where the emphasis lay.
Even Fin and Tony will have a lot to discuss after this election is over, even though they have been together for so long. In a way, his son is a lot more comfortable in his shell this his father is.
I will get the election coverage up soon before moving onto "Parent Trap." Thank you so much for all the support, Charle, and for the well wishes. I am very honored by that. *Hugs* ~Kim

I missed this story glad you are giving us the results before you move on. I would also like Justin to let Brian know he wants a child soon or maybe for Brian to catch on thats where Justin is headed.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Thank you for reading and for your comments. The results (at last!) will be coming up soon; I will write that part before I head back to "Parent Trap." And the boys did talk briefly about Justin's wish to have a child before, but Brian had told him it was best to wait until after the election was over to talk about it. So something tells me that important discussion is coming up shortly.;) Of course, there is still the question about what to do with Alex, too.
Thanks again for reading and for taking the time to leave me feedback; it is greatly appreciated. *Hugs* ~Kim

Hi,
There is a large piece of me that would prefer Fin loses. I
like the relationship he now has with Tony. It is good, very
good. There Is no doubt that if Fin wins, things will change.
Will the relationship get better? Maybe, but maybe not.
If Fin loses, Brian has still gained a father. Justin has gained
a father in law and a friend, Gus has gained great grand
parents. Sadly, although Gus now has a grand father, he and
his grand father are very distant. What I am trying to say, is
that everyone has already won. I would hate to have things
become screwed up by Fin winning the election.
I know my reasoning is kind a f**ked up. But I feel that way,
and it seems right to me. If Fin loses then everyone wins
(Brian, Justin, Tony, Gus). If Fin wins – then who knows?
Sometimes, losing is winning.
Thanks for this terrific story.
DavidR
Author's Response: Hi, David! So great to see your comments! I am glad that you are still following this story. And no, I don't think your reasoning is wrong. I can understand it totally. I know that is one of Tony's fears as well. I can see both viewpoints here. There will be good and bad points about winning or losing the election. Things will definitely change for a lot of them. There could be some good come out of either outcome, as well as some issues; it remains to be seen how this plays out. I WOULD like to get back to the more 'human' aspect of this story, especially once the election is over.
Thank you for reading this latest chapter and for your always thought-provoking comments! I always look forward to reading them. I will get the next part up very soon. *Hugs* ~Kim

Hey again. I forgot to ask for Nonie if parent trap is on your NEXT list after this update. I think she is quite anxious for the next chapter as it is her fav. Just thought I would ask. lol
Author's Response: Hi, lindc! Tell Nonie I said hello! And yes, I believe she's right.;) Oh, and check this out! Ian Scott McGregor posted a photo to his instagram account of Randy with - squee! - my bobblehead doll that I gave him at the LA Con! So cute! I'm thrilled to know that he apparently liked it.;) http://instagram.com/p/d19xb4SDIS/#

Am so glad this new chapter is up. Lee texted me and told me, so I read it. What a wonderful chapter. I love the back story on the two others in this novella. Fin and Brian two peas in a pod as are Tony and Justin. Tony and Justin are so cute together comiserating about their men. I am not so thrilled with our way-ward girl. Will be interesting to see where you take her. Lee is waiting with baded breath for the election. He is your number one fan--after Brian and I of course. I don't know what he will do when this story is over, sadness. He is doing well, I'm not sure when he will be able to come back to work..We really need him as our team is using subs---ugh!!! Sorry but it's just not the same. I was trying to remember how old Fin and Tony are. You probably wrote it but I don't remember.. I will be reading tonite, but will have to bring people up to date that weren't here when this one started-so wish me luck with the synopsis. lol
Author's Response: OMG, that will be a BIG job, especially if they haven't read "Wedding Present." Maybe you need to offer a beginner's course on this topic - ha! Yes, I definitely wish you good luck on that! I, too, know what it's like to not have your regular team in place, so I'm sure you miss him a lot. So glad to know he's doing okay, though, but apparently there will need to be a memorial service for the Vixen.;)
Thank you for reading and for the comments, lindc! I had been wanting to do a backstory on them, and this seemed like a good time. Oh, and Fin is supposed to be in his early 50's, with Tony somewhat younger, maybe late 40's or so? Hope that helps. Will get the next chapter up very soon. Tell everyone I said hello and thanks! *Hugs* ~Kim

Nice hearing Fin and Tony's back story. They're great together.

Author's Response: Hi, my dear - thanks for reading and for the comment. I have really enjoyed fleshing out those characters; I feel like they could have been on the show by now - LOL!

Hurray! It's so nice to see this one again. I'm dying to see how big a margin Fin wins by. Love the backstory on how he and Tony met.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Thank you for reading this latest installment and for the comments! It is greatly appreciated. I had been wanting to do a flashback about Fin and Tony for some time, so I thought this was a good time to do that. Will have the next part with the election up very shortly. Thanks for all the support! *Hugs* ~Kim

YAHOO!! MY STORY UP AT LAST. GREAT CHAPTER-FIRST HALF. I WAS WONDERING HOW THEY MET. THANX FOR THE DEDICATION-IT SEEMS YOU HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE. I THINK THE PEEPS AND THE VOCAL CROWD WILL BE A TAD JEALOUS. MAKES ME HAPPY. I AM DOING BETTER AND HOME. MY CONCUSION HAS GONE PRETTY MUCH AWAY BUT MY NECK IS STILL QUITE SORE DEPENDING HOW I MOVE. JUST LUCKY--"V" NOT SO LUCKY HAVE TO PUT HER AWAY. IT WILL COST TOO MUCH AND SHE WILL NOT BE THE SAME. THE PERSON WHO HIT ME HAS INSURANCE BUT WON'T COVER ALL THE COST AND SHE WON'T BE THE SAME SO I WILL BE WALKING FOR SOMETIME. I THINK I NEED A RESPITE FROM THE WIERDOS ON THE ROAD. PLUS I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE A LOT LONGER. EVERYONE SAID THEY WOULD GIVE ME RIDES, BUT I THINK WALKING IS IN MY FUTURE FOR AWHILE. THANKS AGAIN.LUV 2 U.
Author's Response: Hi, Sweetheart! I'm so glad to hear from you. Tell lindc, the peeps, and vocal three that I am not slighting them (hope they realize that), but I know this story has always been your favorite.;) Tell them not to go out and get hurt, though, just to get a dedication out of me - ha! I truly appreciate all the support you, lindc, and Brian have given me, along with all the others, for some long, Your support - along with my other dedicated readers - is what keeps me inspired to keep going, so I never want to take that for granted. I am grateful to each and every one of my readers!
I'm sorry to hear about your 'baby,' but had to smile when you said you had to 'put her away' - sounded like you were saying goodbye to a pet - LOL! Just don't get hit by a car while you're walking! Seriously, I'm so relieved that you're doing okay. You must be one strong man - physically and emotionally - to handle everything that has been thrown your way this past year, so you should give yourself a lot of credit, Lee.;) I'm proud of you!
I will be working on the election part of the story next, so I hope to have that up very soon. Thanks for all the support, Sweetie; sending my love back to you, too. *Hugs* ~Kim

Fin and Brian are more alike than either of them know lol. I can certainly understand Tony's concerns regarding the outcome of the election. not being able to have much privacy would put a strain on any relationship.
Poor Alex, hopefully Debbie and Carl can find a way to keep her with them. She so desperately wants to have some sort of stability instilled in her life and she feels that is something that Debbie and Carl can offer her.
Kim I can't wait for more....the suspense of the elections outcome is killing me lol
Author's Response: Hi, Tamara! Thank you as always for your support, my friend. You're so good about that, and I truly appreciate it so much. I'm glad you liked this chapter. I really did want to get the election in here, but again, talkative me (!) couldn't quite make it. When I got to 10,000 words+, I figured it was better to post the first part and then write the other one soon afterward. So I will definitely have the election results in the next chapter (at last!).
As for Alex, her fate will have to be determined by what is not only best for her, but also Carl and Debbie. They really would be challenged by raising someone so young at their age. A grandmother instead, perhaps? Hmm...that is yet to be decided. And what would Justin think about that, yearning for a baby to put in his imaginary nursery. I think it goes without saying, however, that there will be a spot somewhere for her in this little band of friends/family.;)
And is Fin's election a sure thing? Not according to the polls. And is that what would be best for him and Tony? Another variable.
Anyway, thank you again, Tamara, for all the support you give me! I will get the next part up very soon before I move on in my story rotation. *Hugs* ~Kim
