Great chapter.  Can't wait for the epilogue.  This has been a fascinating story from the beginning stories.  Thank you for your wonderful writing.



Author's Response:

So glad that you enjoyed the story.  Thanks for waiting for the updates

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: November 07, 2018 04:36 AM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

They'll find their rhythm. It will take some time, but they'll be fine.

Michael should be happy. He's surrounded by all he holds dear.



Author's Response:

absolutely-  everybody is where he wants to be

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: November 06, 2018 08:36 AM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

Michael is getting what he deserves, if he had just thought about others things may have been different . I feel for Ben, he has so much ahead of him to deal with but I’m sure he will handle it. JR is trying to wrap him around her finger already lol good luck Ben. 



Author's Response:

Michael is where he wants to be- owner of a comic book store and Ben is where he wants to be.

Reviewer: rulisteningbj (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 11:57 PM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

Yes, where is Daddy Michael and how are your going to explain that one Ben?

Dee Dee



Author's Response:

That is a hard question, but Daddy Ben will figure it out

Reviewer: rulisteningbj (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 11:40 PM · On: Chapter 51- Opening Doors

I don't know how I missed this chapter.  Michael is such a child.  So glad that Emmett and Ted were there for Ben.

Dee Dee

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 11:23 PM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

Well, that's a loaded question!!    JR living with Ben will definitely be a new experience for both of them.   I liked how Ben was able to counteract her attitude and explain things in a way she understood.   



Author's Response:

Ben will be challenged but he is up to the task

Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 08:52 PM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

Daddy Ben is being thrown into parenthood pretty quickly.He is going to have his hands full bringing up a little girl.  



Author's Response:

Daddy Ben is going to be just fine; he really wants to do this.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 06:05 PM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

Jenny asks very good questions.  Somehow I don't think Michael is going to tell his mom.  He doesn't seem to realize he is in the wrong, does he?  Looking forward to seeing how Ben explains things to Jenny.



Author's Response:

Michael may not tell Debbie but Debbie is smart- unlike Michael and will figure things out

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 04:19 AM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

What a place to end, I wonder how Ben will answer that question.  Another great chapter.  I hate the reminder that the story is coming to a close.  Bill



Author's Response:

Bill.  I know you have really enjoyed the story as have many readers,  Hopefully my next endeavor will be just as well received.

Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: November 05, 2018 03:32 AM · On: Chapter 52- Reality Sets In

Great update.  Love that Ben is taking care of JR !!!!!!!



Author's Response:

Thanks-  Ben really wants to be a dad and this is something he isn't going to mess up

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: October 18, 2018 11:40 AM · On: Chapter 51- Opening Doors

Good chapter!!   Michael really needs to grow up!!   No matter what anybody says to him, it just goes in one ear and out the other, as he only hear what he wants to hear.   Everything everybody said to him was totally correct - he only thinks about himself and what is good for him, and not anybody else.    That isn't helpful when trying to raise a daughter.



Author's Response:

I don't think Michael will ever grow up unless he sees that his needs aren't being met. Since he has his comics and the life he wants, there is no incentive to change

Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: October 18, 2018 01:49 AM · On: Chapter 51- Opening Doors

Great update.  Love that Ben is dumping Mikey and taking care of JR.  Terrific writing.



Author's Response:

Thank you.  I am working on the next chapter and hope to finish it by the weekend.  Another update soon. (lol)

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: October 17, 2018 09:25 AM · On: Chapter 51- Opening Doors

Wow! Super super super awesome chapter. Good for Ben. He handled everything just right.

Author's Response:

Thank you.  I thought about what Ben would do and this is what I came up with.  Glad it was believable

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: October 17, 2018 08:22 AM · On: Chapter 51- Opening Doors

I feel for Ben what he is going through right now is so hard. I’m so happy he has the support of his friends he is going to need them. Gosh Michael has never grown up and thinks he is the center of the world. I’m dreading to see Debbie’s reaction to the news I pray she is on Bens side but I doubt it.

 

this story can’t end its to good to. 



Author's Response:

Vickie:

  Eventually all good things come to an end.  I do have many more stories if you want to read some of my other work.  Thanks for your comments.  Debbie will not be happy, most likely.

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: October 17, 2018 04:35 AM · On: Chapter 51- Opening Doors

Ben went about the end of his marriage the right way, although I feel he should have spoken with Deb. Not to necessarily that he WS asking Michael for a divorce, but to inform her what was going o with JR.

It isn't looking good for Michael. Even his friends think JR is better off with Ben. Some people just won't grow up.

I do have one big question. When is someone, like Brian, going to explain to Michael that Justin has become Brian's best friend and visa versa?



Author's Response:

Good point about Michael thinking he is still Brian's best friend.  I don't have an answer for that, but will think about it.  I toyed with telling Deb first, but thought out of courtesy, Michael should know first.  Ben will want to tell her about JR and I think things may be different than if she just heard he was divorcing Michael.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: October 17, 2018 03:26 AM · On: Chapter 51- Opening Doors

I HATE the part about ending this story!!!!  I know a story on MW that has 100 chapters so you could still add another 49 to your story.  You did the impossible here, you made me feel a little sorry for Michael, very, very little but it's there.  Another great chapter, I am always excited to get the update emails.  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Bill



Author's Response:

lol-  I don't think this story could support 100 chapters. I just got an email from a reader asking when it was going to be finished as they don't read WIP.  Since it has been three years, I think maybe I need to stop.  I will continue to write and I hope my next adventure is one that you will read and enjoy as well.  I made you feel sorry for Michael, wow- impressive.  I think Michael is not a character that I understand.  I don't know how the writers came up with a marriage between him and Ben.  

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 08:58 PM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

I love the story, so I say keep on going....   And I'm still trying to figure out who is the worst parent - Michael, Lindsay or Melanie.    Poor JR, if it wasn't for Ben, she would end up so lost and alone, its pathetic.    Thank goodness Ben is stepping up to the plate and being there to care for her.   



Author's Response:

I would have to say that Mel and Linds win for worst parent as they are supposed to have full responsibility for J.R.  But I'm glad that Ben stepped up to the plate.  So pleased that you are still reading after so long.

Reviewer: rulisteningbj (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 08:36 PM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

Poor Ben has his hands full with having to tell Michael.  I agree with Brian and Justin to tell Emmett and Ted before he talks to Michael.  He is going to be a great Dad for JR

Dee Dee



Author's Response:

Telling Ted and Emmett should be an interesting discussion, and I'm working on that one now.

Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 06:58 PM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

Great update. Love this story and glad it proved to be longer than you expected. Wonderful writing.



Author's Response:

Thank you.  So glad that you are enjoying this story as well as the other arc.  When I look back to see when I started it, I am amazed that I still have folks reading. 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 01:43 PM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

I am so happy for JR.  I do think Brian gave some good advice.  Really looking forward to Ben telling Emmett and Ted, it will be good practice for telling Michael.  I'm sure Ted and Em will have advice on ways of telling Mikey.



Author's Response:

Justin and Brian are still fairly new at the parenting ( full time) thing but they have really stepped up to the plate for Gus.  Emmett and Ted will be a little harder to judge, but I'm sure they will be great.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 12:22 PM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

Brilliant chapter, my heart was so gripped in this and the emotion that is around Ben. This is such a huge situation for him and taking on J.R is a huge responsibility. I would be shaking my head at Mel and Linds as well. How can mothers treat their children like that. I am so glad that Ben canturn to Brian and Justin for help and advice. They are really good friends to him. I don’t envy Ben I wish him well for the next few days and I pray that Ted and Emmett are on his side. 

 

 

Fantastic work xx



Author's Response:

Vicki:

  I appreciate your support.  It pleases me to know that my writing brings out such strong emotions in folks.  J.R. is lucky that she has Ben and he wants to be her parent.

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 09:19 AM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

He's making all the right moves and taking all precautions. He'll be fine.

Talking to Ted and Emmett will definitely help , but I think he should also talk to Deb. Let her know what's been going on and what's going to be happening with Michael. Do that before Michael comes running to her with his crocodile tears and lies.

He and JR will work things out. As for when they go food shopping and things like that, JR is old enough to help put the shopping cart away with him. No need to leave her in the car.



Author's Response:

Telling Deb will be an interesting conversation as well.  I think she will support Ben as this is her granddaughter and she doesn't want anything bad to happen to her.

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 06:09 AM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

Wow! Good for Ben. He will be a great dad. Can't wait to see how Michael acts.

Author's Response:

I'm sure that will be an interesting conversation.  My muse hasn't decided how that will play out.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2018 03:30 AM · On: Chapter 50- Father-Daughter Bond

WOW, big changes are coming.  I can't imagine what Michael & Debbie will have to say about the changes.  When Debbie finds out that Brian is bankrolling Ben he better not eat anything from the diner.  Always so happy to see an update from you!!!!!!!  Bill



Author's Response:

Bill:

 

Yes, this story has taken more twists and turns than the Mississippi.  I started out writing a story about Justin and Brian having a baby and now it is turning into a custody battle for J.R.  So glad that you are still reading and enjoying the tale.

Reviewer: cullengirl08 (Signed) · Date: August 28, 2018 12:49 AM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Shocker of all shockers.  Mel and Lindsay are finally doing the right thing where their kids are concerned.   And Michael will be in for a shock of his own once Ben talks with him.    He is living in lala land and I don't see any way out for him.   Ben was totally on the money with his description of Michael - an overgrown child, and I can't see him ever growing up.    



Author's Response:

I think the shock will be Ben telling Michael to high tail it out of their home.  I've never really seen what Ben and Michael had together.  He's just so irritating.

Reviewer: Nichelle Wellesly (Signed) · Date: August 06, 2018 05:45 AM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Sandy,

I kept wracking my brain, trying to figure out what the solution would be to this very intriguing storyline. You are AMAZING to have come up the is! Out of the 4, Ben is the ONLY one who actually thinks and acts like a parent. Lindsay is just...yeah, she just makes me cuss loud and long, while Melanie just makes me want to deck her. I mean, of all the reasons to conceive, one did for simply for some misguided link to her heteronormative fantasy, while the other's was an act of her over-inflated ego and jealousy! Then you took it a step forward to Lindsay the thinking she will make anyone, especially Gus, think her faux-act of altruism is for his benefit? Chicken head Chick get off the freeway of delusion! Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Jose Feliciano, Andrea Bocelli and the damn 3 BLIND Mice should be able to clearly see this act of purebred selfishness for what it is! I'm hoping all of her plans backfire in every way imaginable, including that 'dream' job falling apart! The conniving heifer is long overdue for a dose of reality about her own self-importance. SMH

As for Maggot-mouth Michael, we all know that he isn't going to go away quietly. It's going to be interesting to see the lengths he's more than likely going to go in proving what an asinine little idiot he is. If Deb is wise, she will just concentrate on establishing and solidifying her own relationship to Jenny and let her baby boy fend for himself. <insert deep sigh here> But when has Deb EVER been wise when it comes to the human noose around her neck?

Lookingforward to MORE!

HAPPY WRITING and HUGS, 

~Nichelle



Author's Response:

Nichelle:

 

So sorry it took so long to respond.  I appreciate your long and thought out response to the chapter.  I'm thrilled that you like my solution.  I wracked my brain on that one for a long time and thought it was a good one; I just wasn't sure my readers would go for it.  The girls have never been my favorites and I really do believe that I wrote them in canon.  Mel is so concerned with her career and really Lindsay only sees Gus in terms of capturing Brian.  I'm so glad Ben decided to step up.

 

As for Michael and Deb, I will have to see what my muses deal them in the next few chapters.

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: August 05, 2018 01:52 AM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

The girls and Michael are giving him evetything he's been wanting. More time and permanancy with having JR in his life, and Michael a reason to get him out.

Lindsay can't imagine how unbelievably happy that Gus is with him, Justin, and Colin all the time. I don't she ever will.



Author's Response:

I apologize for not responding earlier.  Ben is the only one who is actually worried about J.R.  The rest of them see her as a pawn in their many games.  

Reviewer: rulisteningbj (Signed) · Date: August 04, 2018 12:55 PM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Great update.  I can't believe the girls have finally realized that they do not need to be mothers. So happy for Ben.  There are going to be rough times with Michael.  I still love this story so much.

Dee Dee



Author's Response:

Dee Dee:

  I was concerned that folks wouldn't believe the solution, but it appears to have gone over well.  Rough times ahead for all concerned. No smooth transition as Michael doesn't really see anything wrong with his behavior.

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: August 04, 2018 06:13 AM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Wow! Super chapter. Who knew the girls could be so reasonable. I am happy for Ben. He needs to get on with his life.

Author's Response:

Thanks.  So glad you liked my solution to the issue of parenting J.R.  Now to handle the Novotnys.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: August 04, 2018 02:01 AM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Great solution but M & L are real losers!!!  Love this story!!!!!!!!



Author's Response:

Thanks Bob.  Glad you like the solution.  I tried to figure out a way to move the story forward without a lot of back and forth.  Still have to deal with Michael.

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: August 04, 2018 12:52 AM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Wow well that is a turn up for the books. The Gus situation I see working well but I sense bidg tantrums from Michael and Deb in relation to JR

Author's Response:

Yes, big tantrums for Deb and Michael, but they have had their head in the sand for a long time.

Reviewer: britintaykin (Signed) · Date: August 03, 2018 11:29 PM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

How many more chapters of this story are you going to be doing so I can download it to my phone so I can reread it anywhere.

Author's Response:

Well if you had asked me this when I started this story, I would have told you it was a short story, maybe 5-7 chapters, but as you can see, that did not happen.  Justin and Brian and Gus and everyone else started talking to me.  At this point, I really do believe that the story is nearing its conclusion and I hope to wrap it up in 4-5 chapters-  ( hopefully).  I am about to start a new job next week and I anticipate having some additional time to write, but I won't really know until a few weeks from now.  For right now, I'm working on the next chapter and we will see from there.

Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: August 03, 2018 08:12 PM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Great chapter and I think the solution is perfect.  Ben is so much better for JR than her idiot father.



Author's Response:

Happy Gamma:

 

So glad that you are still patiently waiting for updates and reading the story.  I liked my solution and am really happy that my muses decided this would work out.  It is even better that my readers like it too.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: August 03, 2018 07:48 PM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

I hate those two girls I swear they shouldn’t be mothers at all. I love how Ben cares for J.R. she loves him so much and I could feel that as I read this. I think he would be an amazing person to raise her. Michael needs to buy a blue and get some parent lessons and learn how to be a grown up. 

 

Brilliant work can’t wait for more x



Author's Response:

Vickie:

 

Thanks for the continuing feedback and praise.  It should be interesting to see what Michael and Deb do when the news of the parenting changes occur.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 03, 2018 06:31 PM · On: Chapter 49- What Is A Parent

Wow!  Now JR is getting the parenting she needs from Ben and Melanie along with Lindsay are willing to let him be there for her.  Great story!!



Author's Response:

Thanks so much YumYum.  Mel and Linds are finally admitting that parenting is not really their ballywack.  

Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: July 26, 2018 07:51 PM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

I just love this story!  Gus sounds like a great kid.  Justin and Brian are great dads.  I feel bad for Ben having to put up with infantile, selfish Michael.  I sure hope he gets custody Of J.R. 



Author's Response:

Agreed on all accounts.  I dislike Michael and wonder what Ben ever saw in him

Reviewer: Lori (Signed) · Date: July 25, 2018 02:32 AM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

i have really enjoyd reading thiis story.  Can wait for the next chapter.  Hope Ben kicks Michael to the curb lol.



Author's Response:

Not a Michael fan-  guess I should give a warning to that effect.

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: July 24, 2018 08:20 PM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

Great chapter. Perfect way to talk to a kid.

Author's Response:

Thank you.  It's how I would want to talk to a child.

Reviewer: Lori (Signed) · Date: July 24, 2018 01:03 PM · On: Chapter 25- Gus' Wish

This is an awessome story, thank you for writing it



Author's Response:

so glad you are enjoying it-  I just can't believe I'm still writing it

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 01:12 PM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

Really good chapter on a topic that is very relavant.  I love the way you worked it out.



Author's Response:

Thank you.  I felt that it was a topic that needed to be discussed.

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 08:54 AM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

Yeah it is always in the background of their life. I am surprised Justin didn’t show some concern about Gus stepping up to the bullies in case he gets hurt

Author's Response:

Justin wants to give Gus good answers but also doesn't want to show the bad side of life ( protect him a little longer)

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 08:40 AM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

Yeppie so happy to see an update to this story and what a brilliant one it is. I love how they are as a family. It’s so great to see Brian with his boys. I love love love how you are writing Gus he knows he can tell hem anything. My heart broke for him on talking about the bullying of Alex and Justin talking about his bullying. I soooooo can’t wait for more and to see how Colin’s first birthday goes.

 

Brilliant work x



Author's Response:

Thanks Vicki.   Colin's birthday-  I guess I do have to write that chapter- lol

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 04:19 AM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

Yeah I think Gus is to young to know about the bashing but helping his teammate is a good idea. He makes a new friend and hopefully keep the bullies at bay.

Brian is so cute with Colin. Who knew he had it in him? Justin, he knew.

Nice family time.



Author's Response:

I agree that Gus doesn't need to know the whole story of Prom but I like how Justin showed him that any bullying wasn;t good.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 03:06 AM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

I'm sure that was a dificult conversation for Justin.  Glad that Gus was bothered by bullying.  Still loving this story!!!  Bill



Author's Response:

Bill:

 

I think it will always be hard for Justin, but he always wants to be honest with Gus.

Reviewer: rulisteningbj (Signed) · Date: July 23, 2018 12:17 AM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

Gus is such a special little boy.  He will never let anyone be bullied again around him.  Justin handled it so well.  Brian wanting to be part of the bashing discussion when and if it happens show how much Brian has grown into a loving wonder man, husband and father.

Dee Dee 



Author's Response:

Brian has grown a lot in my universe and I think he would be there for Gus and Justin had the show continued.

Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: July 22, 2018 11:15 PM · On: Chapter 48- Uncomfortable Discussions

Great update.  Glad to hear you are working on the next chapter. 



Author's Response:

Glad you are still reading-  told you I was slow at writing,  But the next chapter is actually at the beta's for review.  Hopefully I can get a little time to write some additional ones

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: June 19, 2018 09:11 AM · On: Chapter 47- A Weekend With My Dads

I loved watching J.R. and Ben interacting doing things together and cooking. She really loves him and he loves her. I can’t understand why Micheal is the way he is, he needs to step up or step out for good she needs love and a dad. 

 

Brilliant work. I can’t believe I have caught up now what am I gonna do fail now xx

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: June 19, 2018 07:38 AM · On: Chapter 46- Dinner With Good Friends

That was a great visit with the guys for Ben and J.R., he really needed that and to see how the kids were. I loved him teaching Jenny about the food pyramid all kids should know about that an h made it fun for her. I’m very sad at how Micheal is, he needs to grow up I swear I have no clue what goes through that mans head. I hope Ben get custody she needs a good home.

 

Fantastic work c

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: June 18, 2018 05:28 PM · On: Chapter 45- Good News And Bad News

Brian sure takes a lot on his shoulders and remembering the bullies and everything was hard. It’s not easy and when it’s time to explain to the kids it won’t be easy. I’m glad Sam rang with good news I hope that it helps Ben with J.R. .

Ben is such an amazing dad to J.R. he knows what she needs and how to treat her. Micheal on the other hand needs a swift kick up the ass I swear if I could I would jump in there and do it myself. I’m so glad that Jenny feels comfortable talking to Ben about how things were. Brian and Justin will help them big time.

Ben is so good with her, I love how she respects him and loves him. I got emotional when the brother and sister met again that really touched me. I hope Brian’s lawyer friend can help him.

Poor J.R. now she is feeling it from the moms, its so not fair. She is only a small child and shouldn’t have to go through that. I hope Ben can help and I’m glad he did what he did. Fingers crossed all goes well.

I’m so glad that Gus asked to speak to his dads, it’s great to see he feels he can and say his wishes out loud to them without judgment. As for the Ben, JR situation that’s going to cause so many problems.  I hope it all works out.

Well done Brian he sure handled that phone call with Lindsey well. I’m glad he kept it together. She truly has no clue what the two of them did and I hope they don’t get Gus back. I hope Ben get ms J R that little girl needs a loving home as well.

Brian finally stood up to Lindsay-  yeah-   Ben is the only one who really wants her.

I like ALana as well and hope she stays. Oh boy I knew a blow up would happen at the school but wow. Poor Gus he was so scared. I’m so glad that te guys managed to get him in the car. Mel will regret tearing up those papers. I need to take a breath after that. 

incredible work x



Author's Response:

Mel was just really mad and didn't know what else to do.  As a lawyer, she should know better.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: June 17, 2018 05:08 PM · On: Chapter 38- Reality Check

Oh god I can see a major fight coming one that nag get very ugly. The girls are still delusional as to what they did with Gus. I hope Gus goes home with the guys and not them. I pity Ben, he is a good guy and trying to talk to Micheal is like talking to a two year old. Micheal needs to rise up, not everything in his life should revolve around Brian. Brian has a new life he is different now. He is a family man. 

 

Brilliant work x



Author's Response:

I'm not sure Ben has it in him to fight Michael.  AFter all, Brian Kinney can do no wrong and Ben has heard that so many times.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: June 17, 2018 03:09 PM · On: Chapter 37

Thank god the school listened to them because lord knows what the girls would have done. Do they even realise what they have done themselves the girls blanked Gus to much. Thank good for the boys. 

 

Fantastic work x

Grrr Lindsey can go suck an egg with those tears. How on Earth didn’t they notice he wasn’t there. I’m trying to hold myself back from shaking those two girls until all their bones fall out. I pray all will be ok for the guys and Gus and the rest of the family back then ip.

Wow I’m outta breath after reading this chapter. My heart was in my mouth right from start to finish. Poor Gus is terrified if he has to go back live with his mothers. As for the girls reaction is just unreal how dare they when they didn’t even notice he wasn’t there. I’m so angry 😡.

I think the state Justin found the girls house in reflects how their life is. No child that age should be left alone that long with a younger child. Who is looking after Jenny that poor child must be neglected as well. Gus is still trying to find his balance isn’t he. Gosh I can’t express how much I’m loving this story. Love the guys as parents

I love that they adjusting so well to having Gus live with them. It’s so important for him to feel wanted and not in the way. They are working as a team, a family and having him involved with looking after his brother the way they are is great. My blood boiled as well that Lindsey didn’t even ask about Gus when Justin rang her to see about getting his LEGO. They better not fight the boys on custody grrr.

Tears are streaming down my face right now from reading this chapter. It was beautifully written. The way you had the boys handle Gus was perfect. The little boy is looking for security he isn’t be been cheeky or bold he is just testing the waters to see what his dads will do. He doesn’t need to worry they love him and will look after him and spend time with him. I think they will have just as much time building the LEGO city as Gus will. They need to put some saftery rules in so Colin doesn’t eat the LEGO.

Brian and Justin are really great parents they are really good with Gus and Jenny and need no help from her. I actually feel for Mel, she can see they are good parents. I hope they involve Jenny as well just as much as Gus. Brian buying that car for the baby well Justin was fantastic and such an amazing gift to get and the same with Justin’s gift to him.

I love Gus and him having these thoughts after overhearing his mother’s concerns are normal. Kids will always over think things and their self confidence is vulnerable with a new baby coming. I think if the guys get Gus involved as much as possible would be a good thing. Take him with them to the next scan get him involved with picking the name. The sne with looking after the baby. It’s important to let them help as telling they can’t do this or that can be hurtful. Even changing a dipear can really build a child’s confidence to say I am really helping and bonding with my sister or brother. Of course take one one e time baby sitters for the baby will be plenty full I’m sure. As for Guss plan to live with them is a very child’s mind as well. Hope all will be ok.

Well Michael being ass certainly helped Ben make a decision about his marriage,, but I think it may have made it a little harder for him to become a single parent. Michael is going to fight him. The girls are going to fight him and JR is going to be caught in the middle. Not a bright outlook.

No matter how much time is spent with JR he's going to probably need character witnesses. I guess Michael will see where Brian stands in reference to their friendship when he and Justin choose to stand with Ben and JR.

So true.  It is an uphill battle for Ben, but in the end J.R. will be the beneficiary.

I loved the conversation between Brian and Justin , you can hear the affection they have for each other in it and that gives you a warm feeling which is always a good thing right. As for Cynthia who I always love she is offering such an amazing gift. I must admit I tested up with it and Brian’s response was very Brian you can tell he was chocked up inside but didn’t know how he should show it and Cynthia knew this. Justin’s reaction to the news when Brian told him about her offer made me tear up again that’s twice in one story. Such a beautiful moment you could feel it as if you were right there with them in the room. Thank you for writing this x

Well, Michael hit the nail on the head - he is not JR's parent.   Truer words were never spoken.    I think Ben has made up his mind regarding Michael and their marriage and its only a matter of time, before he fills Michael in on it as well.   At this point, Mel, Lindsay and Michael are all in a three way tie for worst parent ever.   All they care about is themselves.



Author's Response:

The sad part of this is that J.R. suffers.  Luckily she has her DAddy Ben and her Uncle Justin and Uncle Brian to go to bad for her.

Michael should never be a parent.  It went in it for all the wrong reasons.  I love that Ben is concerned about JR and making her stay a good one.



Author's Response:

Micahel was flattered that Melanie asked him to be the father of her child.  He went into the whole situation not really understanding or thinking what this entailed.  As long as the girls were not asking him to give up parental rights, he is legally responsible for the child.  I still can't believe that Melanie thought he would make a good contribution to a child.  Ted would have been a much better choice.

Good Morning Darling! I was so happy to receive my update email, I could've cried. Instead I settled into my happy dance (think Snoopy), grabbed my coffee and blanket, and then settled in to read the last two chapters on the deck in the backyard. It's still a bit chilly up here in Rochester, NY (43 degrees) and Mother Nature NEEDS her damn Prozac. Someone should remind Father Time that she's gotten her damn Seasons mixed up again and he needs to give her the damn meds! Now for my review...

GIRLLLLLL!! Girl! Honey, I could just chew and spew nails at Michael, Mel and Lindsay! Talk about pissing me off to the point that I am pre-writing death scenes in my head... The neglect and disinterest that J.R. has been, and continues to be shown is both heartbreaking and anger-inducing. Basically she is being treated like a 'PAWN' and a 'CHECK' by the most selfish, self-absorbed idiots to ever be written about within the fandom EVER! I was really happy when Sam imparted the news to Brian about Ben's chances of getting permanent custody of Jenny. Now only if he can pass custody of Michael back to his Mama, all would be right in Ben's world.

I think Ben has the right idea that he and Michael will NOT work! I still can't figure out how men as intelligent and culturally-aware as David and Ben ended up falling for Michael. I know that in theory opposites attract but DAMN! Anyway, I digress... Ben is finally understanding that 'supposed' innocence does lose its charm eventually. That Michael won't even try to mature should tell him all he needs to know about the fate of his mismatched marriage. I say he should drop the zero, find him a hero and raise HIS daughter (she sure as hell isn't one to the other parents- just a maid and a toy). Hopefully, Debbie won't run true to form in her defense of her overgrown baby (insert lip curl here) but if she does, please write me into the story so I can kick some sight and sense into her. It's definitely long overdue if she continues to be blind to the faults of that whiny man!

I'm also hoping that when, not if (yep, I'm putting in my plug, LOL) Ben gets custody of Jenny that Mel and Lindsay are either ordered to pay Ben child support or have their parental rights revoked. Honestly, like Joan Kinney, the two of them shouldn't be allowed to raise a damn cactus, much less another human being. Those types of 'mothers' are just plain toxic to the idea of growing up with a sound mind. Too bad they can't be put in jail because their obvious neglect isn't physical; it's emotional, which in reality much worse, but also harder to prove. So at this point, I'm just looking forward to their comeuppance whatever form it takes.

Happy Writing and HUGS,

~Nichelle

Nichelle.  First, let me tell you your review was amazing.  Ben is finally coming to his senses regarding Michael.  He had some trepidation regarding pushing for parenthood , but I think he is ready.

My normal happy dance when I got my update email.  WOW things are erally up in the air for Ben, he has a lot to figure out.  Very sad to hear JR talk about her current home life.  L & M really are incredibly selfish.  Thanks for another great chapter!!!!!!!!!  Bill

I am getting excited for Jenny and Ben. Bye Bye Michael

Thanks for update Love

 



Author's Response:

I think Ben is tired of Michael.

I dont care how many times I read this chapter. I get all goose bumps when Justin comes rushing out. I cant explain it maybe it the talk with Jenn and Brian that was going on and then all the sudden Justin rushes out.

Jennifer reation is pricless

 

Thank you Love I always love this series/universe you have created and so happy that the muses will not let go  :)

So glad that you are enjoying the story.  I'm always happy to hear that my readers can visualize events in their head as I write them.

Hopefully this is good news for Ben.  Brian is very happy with his life and fatherhood  They have a wonderful life.  Lots of stress coming up.

Author's Response:

True.  Ben will probably have a fight but we'll worth it.

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: April 09, 2018 04:58 AM · On: Chapter 45- Good News And Bad News

Thanks for the summary. I like this story so much, I actually forgot where it came from. I wish it was simple for kids to get the loving parent they deserve.

Author's Response:

I've been writing the series for so long that I thought a summary would be good.  Glad it helped.  Thanks for reading and commenting.  All children deserve living parents.  At least in writing I can make that happen.

 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: April 07, 2018 01:44 PM · On: Chapter 45- Good News And Bad News

Another brilliant chapter.  I love the review of how this started and that you figured out a way that Ben might be able to get custody.  Can't wait for that conversation.



Author's Response:

I've been writing this trilogy for so long that I thought this was a great opportunity to review the story and how they got to this point.  I struggled with the custody issue and glad it appears feasible.

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: April 07, 2018 05:02 AM · On: Chapter 45- Good News And Bad News

Sam gave Brian sime great news. Can't wait to see how it plays out. Have a feeling Ben may be raising her alone. All the better if you ask me.

Gus is smart. He'll ask when he's ready and they'll be able to answer whatever questions he may have because they'll be prepared.

Nice that you went over everything from the first story this one and how they all connected.

Brian's thoughts are so Brian. I'm glad he's finally happy with all facets of his life.

I think this story is winding down to an end. Will miss it when it goes. Been with it from the first word in "The Stripper".



Author's Response:

Sophiesmom:

 

Wow.  Just wow.  I've been writing these stories for so long and I'm impressed that you are reading them for so long.  The discussion with Brian and Justin about the bashing will be interesting.  It seemed like a perfect place to put the review the entire series and I'm glad it fit in.  So happy that you are still enjoying it.  I may write some more in this universe-  not sure-  My muse went on a very long journey with this story and it hasn't finished yet.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: April 07, 2018 03:36 AM · On: Chapter 45- Good News And Bad News

Always so happy to get the update email.  I love this story!!!  Very interesting that Ben could get custody of JR.  Wonder what Debbie will think about that.  The bullying discussion with Gus should be interesting.  Thanks for the update!!!  Bill



Author's Response:

I think Debbie will fight Ben most likely but my muse will have to decide.  The bullying discussion will be difficult.

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: March 11, 2018 05:53 AM · On: Chapter 44- The Father Father Talk

No words. I have no words for the first half of this chapter in reference to that idiotic little man. Can't blame his up-raising or mother for his delusional dream world he lives in. That's all his own doing.

Ben is doing his best the best he can. It will all work out in the end. 

Please not have Michael at dinner. He's only going to try and monopolize Brian. Probably won't even notice JR or even Ben,Gus, or Justin. Can't there be a flood at the store?



Author's Response:

Love it, a flood at the store- we will see what the muses come up with. I really appreciate the comments you continually post.  Debbie is not to blame for Michael's parenting or lack thereof, but there will be consequences. 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 11, 2018 02:40 AM · On: Chapter 44- The Father Father Talk

I have a feeling if JR is to grow up happy, Ben will need to find some way to get custody.  Michael is to selfish to raise her and would only use her to be close to Brian.  Not good.



Author's Response:

Ben really wants her and lets see if my muse can help make that happen. 

Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: March 11, 2018 01:04 AM · On: Chapter 44- The Father Father Talk

Good chapter.  So happy when I saw the new chapter posted.  Love this story, just not Michael & the girls. 



Author's Response:

I promised that I would update the story.  I'm just  not that fast at writing and updating.  I have a full time job and a part time job teaching.  I'm also looking for another full time position so my time is limited.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: March 10, 2018 11:38 PM · On: Chapter 44- The Father Father Talk

Poor Ben, he has two children to take care of.  I see dinner time disaster coming soon.  Did a littel happy dance when I saw your update email.



Author's Response:

Bob:

So glad you are still enjoying the story.  Dinner disaster-  hmm- makes me want to go read what I planned at the dinner.  

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: March 10, 2018 11:14 PM · On: Chapter 44- The Father Father Talk

Wow I am not sure Mel and Linda would ever agree to J.R. being out of their custody. This is a very interesting development. The guys are right that Michael isn’t and won’t be a full time parent and I suspect will put barriers up as well to stop Ben being the full time parent. He won’t see the alternative of Brian and Justin if it got that far being the parents as a good thing for J.R. just as aiding his obsession with his best friend

Author's Response:

My muse has added an unlikely twist to the story and we will see where it lands me.  In the beginning of the story, Michael appeared to be a doting father, but it is all face value.  I doubt he really cares about children.

Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: February 18, 2018 11:21 PM · On: Chapter 43- Evening At Britin

I wish Ben recorded JR on his phone. It would so help jis case. The same with talking to the idiot he married.



Author's Response:

That is an interesting idea.   I may have to incorporate that into future chapters.

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2018 04:06 PM · On: Chapter 43- Evening At Britin

Ben is a good dad, and man. It is sad to listen to Jenny.

Author's Response:

Ben never thought he would be able to be a father and he is going to grab the opportunity.

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2018 11:34 AM · On: Chapter 43- Evening At Britin

Wow what a selfish pig Michael has become. He should be thrilled his ‘honeybun’ is staying with them. I look forward to the next chapter to see what the lawyer says

Author's Response:

Michael has never really cared about Jenny as a child, more like an object to give him status.  Very sad for her.

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2018 04:20 AM · On: Chapter 43- Evening At Britin

I love how Ben cares about JR.  Not so pleased with her mothers who feel that her doing their work is right.  Not too thrilled with Michael either.  He goes out and drinks rather than taking care of his daughter.



Author's Response:

Never been a fan of Michael or LInds and Mel.  I think everyone is glad that at least somebody is interested in her.

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: February 17, 2018 03:52 AM · On: Chapter 43- Evening At Britin

Poor Ben, saddled with Mikey.  Hope things get better for JR.  Hate to hear you write about this story ever ending because I enjoyt ti so much.  Always happy to see my update email!  Bill



Author's Response:

Bill:

I've been writing this story for almost three years-  can't believe that folks are still interested in reading a story that has gone on for that long.  Glad that it is still holding your interest.  I've always wondered what Ben saw in Mikey.
