I read this as soon as I saw it published but RL has been hectic. Even now, I'm reviewing while helping the kid with homework. ;P
"She's an ungrateful little shit."
No matter what, I have to give it to Mikey for looking out for Brian even if it's a little overprotective and, essentially, the man was right, and, like Mikey, I'm still wondering what possessed Brian to take Alex in. I'm also wondering about Justin's desire to have a child. Is that still in his thoughts?
It was nice of Justin to look out for his older counterpart.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend - thank you for reading this latest chapter and for your comments; I greatly appreciate that. I think the pregnant Brian story has taken over - ha! So it's nice to know someone's been reading this one.;) Yes, Alex is the big sticking point right now. Will have to do something with her. I think Justin did think about the baby in this chapter somewhere along the line, so the idea is definitely in his thoughts. He and Brian will be having a discussion about that coming up.
I will have quite a bit yet to resolve here. I hope you will continue to enjoy it, Sandra. Thank you again for the support. *Hugs* ~Kim

Hurray! Fin won! But how will this affect his relationship with Tony, being in the public spotlight? Nice that Gus and his grandparents were able to show up. And what's going to happen with Alex?
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Yes, that's the major issue right now; I will have to give that some serious thought. I think I know which way I'm leaning, but I'll have to ponder that a bit more. In the meantime, I think I'll have some fun with Brian checking out the governor's mansion. But will it be like father, like son? (wink, wink). Thanks so much for reading and for the comments; I really appreciate your support. *Hugs* ~Kim

kim, i just wanted to add to your wonderful reviews. this chapter is one of my top ten. as you know i think you are one of the most talented writers on this site. you are not only talented, but you are also very giving. this chapter had me sniffling (happy tears). i love fin and tony, and was so happy to see that you brought gus back into this story, along with sean and kathy. i'm so happy that other readers loved this chapter too. i was doing a happy dance, (once i could breathe again. since you kept us in limbo until fin told tony he won), that was very mean of you;]. but i guess i'll forgive you ;p congrats on this great chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you for the comments, Gloria. You already know how I appreciate what you do. If it wasn't for your super speedy beta work and your 'eagle eye,' I would have an even longer time in between updates. So I thank you for everything you do. And I know; I was evil with the election results - ha! But I had to draw it out just a little for dramatic effect.;) I'm so glad you liked this chapter, my friend. Thank you again for always being there when I need you. Sending a big hug back your way. *Hugs* Kim

*just smiles*.....(you already know I was sneaking off to read this chapter right lol)....now for Governor-elect Fintan O'Connor's victory speech :)
Author's Response: LOL! Why does that not surprise me? You little sneak, you.;) I'm glad you did, though! Thanks for being so good at that - ha! And thanks for reading and for the comments, Tamara.;) I think Brian's about to take a tour of the new governor's mansion and properly 'christen' it (wink, wink). I'll get this updated just as soon as I can; moving onto "Parent Trap" now.;) *Hugs* ~Kim

Yay, Fin won!
Great chapter, Kim. Great scene at Babylon. I hope that seeing so many friends and loved ones of our boys, will make Alex want to stay with them. Debbie's demand that Michael vote at the last minute, was hilarious. And the little scenes between Brian and Justin, and Fin and Tony were great.
Wonderful update, as always. Hope to read more from you soon!
Cheers,
Vin

* makes happy dance * jeeeyyy Finn did it.
Great chapter Kim.
But now I wanna know about Alex in the next chapter. Please Kim.
* hugs *
Author's Response: Hi, Marny! THERE'S that happy dance; I've missed that! LOL! Fin says he is honored that you are celebrating.;) I have found an online, virtual tour of the PA Governor's mansion, and I think I'm going to have fun, especially, with Brian's reaction to it (wink, wink). Let's just say I don't think it's his normal designer style, but I'm confident he will make the most of it.;)
I'll see what I can do about Alex coming up. Something will have to be decided about her, but she's not exactly ingratiating herself with who may wind up being her future grandmother, is she? Ha! I think underneath that tough shell, though, is a very unhappy, fragile little girl.
I'll get this updated just as soon as I can. In the meantime, I'm moving onto "Parent Trap" and two OTHER little girls.;) Thanks for reading and for the comments, Marny. I appreciate that so much. Hope you have a good week, my friend. *Hugs* ~Kim

I'm very happy that Fin is the next Governor of the State of Pensylvania :))))
I think He will be a great Governor.
Kiss
Author's Response: Hi, Susana! Yes, I thought a while about whether or not to have him win, but in the long run I decided that was the way I wanted to take it. It won't be easy for him and Tony, but I think with the great love they have for each other they will be able to weather any challenges that come up. Thanks so much for reading and for the comments, my friend! Looking forward to seeing you next spring.;) *Hugs* ~Kim

It's interesting seeing more into the relationship between Fin and Tony. Their life is going to be more complicated, yes, but they can do it.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Yes, I have really grow to think of Tony and Fin as part of the QAF family now. And yes, this will definitely make their lives more difficult, but I really think their deep love for each other will help them to persevere. Thanks so much for reading and for the comments; I appreciate that very much. *Hugs* ~Kim

I WAS READING THIS NEW CHAPTER WHEN LINDC CALLED AND TOLD ME IT WAS HERE. HA! I BEAT HER TO THE PUNCH. DON'T HAVE MUCH TO DO EXCEPT READ NOW AND THEN. MY EYES ARE KIND OF LOOPY FROM THE CONCUSSION I GUESS. THE DOCTOR SAID IT'S NOT PERMANENT. I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT. LINDC FILLED ME IN ON HER READ-A-THON CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. THIS WOMAN IS A FANATIC ABOUT YOUR STORIES I SWEAR. I WONDER IF IT'S ILLEGAL TO DO WHAT SHE IS DOING. I HOPE NOT. WORD GETS AROUND IN A HOSPITAL. THIS CHAPTER WAS GREAT!! KNEW HE WOULD WIN-NOW THE FUN BEGINS. ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE US THROUGH THE SWEARING IN AND THE FOUR MAYBE EIGHT YEARS? I GUESS YOU HAVE TO RESOLVE A FEW ISSUES WITH BRIAN AND JUSTIN AND KIDS HUH? I MUST SAY I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR THIS ALEX GIRL-MAYBE I JUST DON'T SEE WHERE SHE FITS IN YET. THANKS AGAIN FOR WORRYING ABOUT ME-I AM JUST AN ACCIDENT LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN. I THINK I WILL GET A HUMMER-MAYBE THAT WILL AVOID ALL THE SCRAPES THAT SEEM TO FIND ME LUV 2 U
Author's Response: Hi, Sweetheart! Yes, I vote for a Hummer - ha! Whatever it is, make sure it is armor-plated. Can't wait to see what name you come up with for the next vehicle. "Tank" is my vote - LOL!
I hope your eyesight clears up soon. You have certainly had your challenges this past year. But you must be one hell of a strong person, Lee, to go through everything that you have been through. And yes, Lindc told me about the 22 people she's been reading the surfer story to. I was both humbled as well as shocked by that! It is very flattering, though.;)
As for this story, no, I won't go THAT far out into the future or I would never get done; maybe a sequel down the road perhaps. I WILL probably get as far as the swearing in, or at least take it beyond the election to where Fin is setting up his new digs. I found out there is a virtual tour of the Governor's mansion for PA, so I will be using that for 'research.' I think Brian's going to want to properly 'christen' the new digs with his hubby - ha!
I definitely have quite a bit more to tell here, in addition to Alex's situation. There is the matter of a possible child for B and J, as well as Tony and Fin getting comfortable with their new reality.
So glad to hear that you are continung to get better! Keep getting some rest and take care of yourself. Thank you for the kind words and for reading. I always look foward to hearing from you, my friend. Sending my love back to you, too. *Hugs* ~Kim

This chapter answered most of my doubts and questions except who will wind up with Alex. I hope it's not the boys as Justin would like a baby.. This story was quite emotional for me in places. I will pass on to LEE that this chapter is here. He is still recuping at home. lol
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Thank you for the comments. Hope Lee enjoys it, and I hope he's continuing to recover quickly. Yes, Alex is still the main question here. Justin badly wants a child, and Alex is certainly a street-smart kid; far removed from the child/baby stage, although I suspect she is more fragile than she lets on. And Debbie & Carl are probably too old to go through rearing an 11-year-old kid. So what to do with her? It doesn't seem right to throw her into the foster care system at this stage. I will have to give all that some serious thought. I suspect where I'm heading with it, but I will have to stew on that.
Thanks again for all the support! I know I always say that, but I never want you to think I take that for granted.;) Say hello to everyone and give them my very best regards. *Hugs* ~Kim

WOW! What a beautiful update! It brought tears to my eyes. Thank You
Author's Response: Thank YOU for reading and taking the time to comment; I am so glad that you liked it.;) I will update it again just as soon as I can. I still have quite a bit to cover in this, even with the election now over. Thank you again for the support! *Hugs* ~Kim
