Okay just one question, why did Lindsay get pregnant with Brian's frozen sperm if she didn't intend to raise the baby? Unless I misunderstood that part?
On to Life of Lindsay...
Hugs Daring ~ Kathleen
Author's Response: She just wanted to tie Brian to her all the more.

Oh oh... More troubles coming... Poor Justin. It must be so hard for him to fight against his parents. But I'm so glad that Brian does all he can to assure them a future.

Interesting that Regular Roy actually ruled in favor! And great news too - they needed that break. I'm so glad they're get to be a real family, legal and everything!

So much is happening! I feel bad for Justin - everything still must be so fresh and new to him and he just keeps getting bombarded again and again. Good thing he has Brian there for him. :)
Author's Response: Yes, it is. But he also has Gus, Dani, Emmett, Ted & Cynthia there for him.

Fantatic fic. What a shocker you pulled. Jenny, Brian's child, good for Gus and her.
This left a possibility for a sequel.
Thanks forsharing!
Author's Response: Hehe. Which shocked you most - Mikey being blackmailed, Lindsay using Brian's sperm, or Ben's reason for staying with Michael? Hopefully I'll have a little something in the works soon.

So sad to see this is the last chapter. I liked this AU and would happily read more - I feel like we have only just started to know Brian and Justin's new combined family. Will definitely miss the daily updates.

Yes...we need a part 2 please, and I can wait for answers. More questions to think about. Is Danni positive (cause saxophone was while pregnant wit him)? What is going to happen to her and Brian unborn child? Why cant Danni talk? Will ben ever leave mikey? Maybe have a old hot flame come to town hint hint. ;)
Author's Response: I've started another story hopefully to answer all the questions. Thank you for your comments.
Reviewer: nicole (Anonymous) · Date: April 23, 2016 09:32 AM · On: Chapter 17
Aaand..... what happens to Lindsay? Is dani Justin's ? Does Mel find out Brian is Jr's real father? Does deb find out about what mickey did?
Author's Response: Can you wait a week while I come up with some answers on Lindsay. Yes Dani is Justin's, as well as Brian's. The Judge said so. Lindsay told everyone including Mel at the open house. The question about Mikey causes some thinking. Probably not though. Not to disalusion that she thinks Mikey is perfect.
Reviewer: ME (Anonymous) · Date: April 23, 2016 07:06 AM · On: Chapter 17
Sequel needed! Please!!!
1- Does Lindsey ever get caught?
2- Is Lindsey really pregnant and if so will Brian get the kid?
3- How did Michael come up with the rest of the money when he would never give up any of his comics or other comic toys?
4- Does Mel fight to keep custody, because of her hatred for Brian?
5- Do all the kids get the last name of Kinney?

Starting to get really unbelievable. Dud Lindsay Really w in the lottery or just spending the money from Michael? Now Brian doesn't hsvrvto afoot Jenny. She's already his. Can't Justin use Michael as a sparing partner? He'd feel do much better. Deb is never going to see any of that money. What a shame.
Author's Response: And that I was I ended it where I did. But your question have spurred my imagination and I've started a story that hopefully will answer everything.

Well now, this chapter a quite a few twists and turns - but then everything worked out for the best. One question though - what about Lindsay new baby? - maybe an epilogue....???
Author's Response: An epilgue of the epilogue? Well, I have given some thought to answering questions that a few readers have posed. How does Life of Lyndsay sound? It would need an awesome banner, hint, hint.

There was a lot going on in this last chapter but it was all great fun! I loved this story. Not every loose end was tied up but that was part of the fun. It is also kind of like real life where all the loose ends don't always get tied up neatly.
My friend, I am truly sorry to see this story end. You know it is possible to have a story that continues for 100 chapters, I've seen it done. You could have tried to do that. I enjoyed your story from beginning to end!!!!! Bill
Author's Response: Thank you for all your support during this story. Not everyone has the imagination to go 100 chapters, only really talented writers do. Looking forward to reading much more of you latest epic.

Reviewer: ME (Anonymous) · Date: April 22, 2016 08:59 PM · On: Chapter 16
This story feels like there is so much missing. It feels like there are major gaps and you want us to fill them in. Like what happened with Lindsey and why was she acting the way she did in the previous chapter? I don't remember anything about Craig and Jennifer wanting to take Dani from Justin. I hope the Epilogue is long and covers all of this and so much more. Everytime I read a new chapter I feel lost and confused. The chapters just don't seem to merge well. I love the story/plot, but it seems like it's all over the place. I hope the epilogue covers everything and pulls all the chapters together and also includes why certain characters acted one way and what will happen to the now.
Author's Response: I'm sorry, but I'd write a chapter, then get an idea that I would work into another chapter. The ideas just kept getting wilder and I'd have to rewrite the thing from the beginning to fill in the blanks. Too much trouble. I can say that Jennifer was under the impression that Justin would move in with her and she felt that it would be better putting Dani in the system rather than taking him in. A nutcase if ever there was one. The epilogue isn't terribly long but the story/plot should be amusing.

WTF is right about this hearing. Great to know the judge regrets his Hobbs verdict. You really wrote a shocker with the courtroom and the verdict, it was a really good shocker!!!! Hate to think the end of this story is coming up. I have really enjoyed this ride. Hope there will be a sequel!!! Thanks my friend for this great story. Bill
Author's Response: If you thought this was a shocker, wait for the epilogue. I enjoyed writting this once I got past my block and started coming up with wierd ideas. No sequel, but I am working on something new. Thank you for all the nice comments you've given me on this wild ride, Bill!!!
Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: April 22, 2016 03:28 PM · On: Chapter 16
I think seeing them as a regular family is much better than to have them seem like they were made of plastic. Regular Roy suffered personally from his lack of punishment of Chris Hobbs? Good. Glad it changed him some though. Where was the new lawyer? What if Mel didn't show since she's been MIA lately. Time to go home and celebrate with their family. Let them walk past the hole Michael dug for himself without throwing him a rope. What an ass. As usual, I loved it.
Author's Response: Yep, I've come up with a backstory for that though I'm not sure if I'll add it. I thought it would be interesting to change him up for the heck of it. The new lawyer got things rolling and that's all that was required of him. Brian and Justin were probably surprised the Mel showed up and during the trial were probably wishing she hadn't. As for Michael, you'll have to wait for the Epilogue. Thank you for loving it. Hope you enjoy my little Epilogue as well.

Great chapter! I'm enjoying the drama. I'm a sucker for a court case- but I'am wondering what's the time frame from Molly meeting her brother and time of the court case. I'm also wondering how old Molly is. I feel like she should be in her 20s, possibly? because I think you mentioned that Gus is in his teens (15 y/o). So post so fast- I have so much to catch up, but I'm not complaining! :D

Should have known that when things are going great someone or something is going to screw it up.can't wait for this fight. Exactly who wants blood tests? The Taylors? Whatever for. There's no way that homophobic racist would raise Dani? The Chanders? Didn't know rhey knew about Dani.
Love these frequent updates.
Author's Response: Yep, the Taylor's are behind it. It's not like they are thinking straight, especially if they think proving that Justin isn't the daddy will change his wanting to keep and love the little boy. You know I completely forgot about the Chandlers. Too late now.
Reviewer: emac66 (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2016 06:04 PM · On: Chapter 15
things are definitely revving up!! B&J's heads must be at overload almost with so much going on.
Did Linds really with teh actual lottery or is her form of lottery some rich dude? ;) And how did she know where they were? Is she really tweaked? Really curious as to what's going on with her.
I get that Ted may have let it slip...but he really needs to learn discretion! Mel "demanding" an apartment? I would so tell her where to shove it! She's really being of no help to J&B really. Her tact has something to be desired and she ends up causing more harm than good.
I guess we must wait till tomorrow now... *sigh*
well done!
Cheers,
elaine
Author's Response: It was toss and go there. Give her a sugar daddy or go with something really out there. Unfortunately she's smarter then she looks and has inside information from someone who will be nameless. As for Mel, well in this story at least she feels entitled, but you have her pegged right. More to come.
Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2016 05:13 PM · On: Chapter 15
Sounds like "Rehab Addict" or Clint on "Fixer Upper" with the dumpster diving. I guess they won't find and ship lathe in Pittsburgh. So much going on!!!! I wonder about the legality of being named on birth certificate even if DNA doesn't match????
Lndsay won the lottery, wonder if Mel has any claim to part of that money. So many questions. Always so happy to see an update to start my day. This is a wonderful story. I do think people need to be learning sign language to communicate with Dani. Looking forward to more of the story!!!!! Bill
Author's Response: Nope, no ship lathe. lol. I really don't know about the legality but for the sake of the story let's go with name on certificate beats DNA. I was stuck so I said heck with it let her win the lottery and being the selfish person I think of her as she's not going to share. You'll have some answers in the next two chapters. Thanks, Bill for all your support. And most of all for posting another chapter in your story!!!!

The new building is a wonderful idea especially with the dojo. I do hope that with his slowly returning memories that Justin gets his artistic abilities back. Craig's control over Jennifer is a little scary - it's like she has no will of her own - sounds like there could be quite a cocktail of drugs he's got her on - she's too strong a woman otherwise. Looking forward to more.

I wish Justin would remember his painting but I love that Ted figured out a way for Justin to have an income. So sad to see Jennifer is so against Justin- especially when she was so upset when she thought he'd died.
Author's Response: She's not so much against Justin as not seeing reality. To her he's still the 17 year old kid who couldn't possibly take care of a child, especially one she is certain isn't his. What does she know?

I continue to be really frustrated by Jennifer. I do get the impression that her strings are being pulled by Craig, the master puppeteer. However, unless her custody of Molly is involved, or she's been completely drugged to the point of being a pod person, I don't get her complete change in personality. Definitely intrigued and really looking forward to how you bring that to fruition!
Neylor Holdings. Good idea. Hopefully that way neither jenn nor Craig are able to track them.
Ted is being wonderfully supportive!! A true friend.
Author's Response: Bad Jennifer. She needs a spanking. Personally I go along with drugged to the point of being a pod person. Glad you like Neylor, TayKin was taken. Teddy and Emmett really are both supportive.

Love Dani - he's such a character.... A bit worried about Mel and where she's coming from - really sounds as if she needs a professional to talk to - she's definitely acting hot/cold and a 'lot' (insert crazy) mixed up. Emmett, as always, is just 'fabulous'. Fabreez indeed.....LOL
I did a little happy dance when I saw the banner - my first banner!!!!!!! It's a like quilting (one of my favourite pastimes) but using photos instead of fabric. Just wait until I learn photoshop - it may take a while though - it's like you need a degree for it......LOL I did find some very informative tutorials on YouTube so just you wait - I'll get there.
My personal motto has always been "Never give up. Never give in. And never, ever let the bastards win." That goes for photoshop too.......LOL
Author's Response: You did a magnificent job. I think everyone likes your banner, I know I do. I'm glad you like my characters, the pic you got for Dani was perfect. Thank you ever so much! I'm working on another story, would you be willing to do another banner?

That's so sweet that Brian wants to adopt Dani. I know it must have been shocking for Justin to learn that Daphne is Dani's mom, and even more surprising that's he's his father.
So? Are you going to go into details about Dani's conception? Just curious if Justin donated sperm, or if they had a rendezvous...

Reviewer: Rixa (Signed) · Date: April 19, 2016 07:02 PM · On: Chapter 13
This doesn’t make sense to me that Justin is Dani’s father. In chapter two it says that years went by when Justin was missing/thought dead and Daphne comes by frequently to see if anything has been heard of him. Then when Daphne tells Brian she’s pregnant if Justin was the father that meant she had seen him (and had sex with him, which also begs the question of why he would have had unprotected sex with her in the first place) during that time so there would have been no need of her to be asking about what happened to him since she would have known that he was alive. Also I can’t imagine if she saw him then that she wouldn’t have told Brian (even if Justin has asked her not to) so Brian would have also known then that he was alive and where he was. Could Daphne have just put Justin’s name on the certificate for some reason but he isn’t really Dani’s biological father? If so they should try to find out who the biological father really is.
Author's Response: In case you've forgotten the father was the one that gave Daphne the gift of HIV, so no looking for him. But you are correct in that Daphne named Justin on the birth certificate even though he's not Dani's bio. father.

What the hell is going on with Mel? I don't get it. Both her and Deb have made derogotory comments about "the black kid", and Mel's behavioris highly questionable. I'm questioning her ability to be an efficient lawyer atm. Will she properly represent them? She's sort of coming across as slightly unstable. Between her attitude, her apparent abuse of Jenny...things are fishy. No idea wherer Lindsey is, but it's no excuse for her current behavior unless there are psychological issues at play.
YAY! Brian wants to adopt Dani. wonderful. If things don't start changing for Mel soon, he may want to try getting custody of Jenny as well!
Thaks for this.

What a cruel place to stop, and I'm just guessing here, but surely the smell of sex can't still be in the air lol. I think it's wonderful that Brian wants to adopt Dani...but Mel has a hell of a lot to answer for.

Justin needed to know about Daphne. He'll need some time to grieve. Mel, if it weren't for Jenny, I wouldn't lift a finger to help. Seems to me Justin could probably open a dojo. Then he can beat the crap out of Craig.

Jennifer and Craig are definetly out of touch- love that you've included molly int he story.
Author's Response: Thank you! Couldn't very well leave her out.
Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: April 19, 2016 02:16 AM · On: Chapter 12
In the years he's been missing, he's changed. He has to give Brian some credit and understanding that he's changed too. Brian needs to tell Justin about Daphne and Dani's birth certificate before that idiot Craig tries to have him taken away. So a lot of Jennifer's problems all boil down to Craig. Can't someone kill him off?
Author's Response: Ask and you will receive. The next chapter is up. Thanks for commenting.

Just caught up and may I say again that you have totally engrossed me with this storyline! Justin is getting some important parts of his memory back and I really hope that he gets them all by the time the other portion of this drama begins. He needs to be hale, whole and hearty if or no other reason than to combat whatever bullshit that Mel and Michael will come up with next. And now we have to add Craig to this mix off bullshittery! Whatever he is doing or has done to Jennifer to brainwash her needs to be put behind the locked doors of the government and never to see the light of day again. I worry what the two of them will try next to separate B&J from Dani (or more likely all three of them rom each other). I doubt very much that they will give up with their talk of being a 'perfect family.' Hopefully Molly, Brian and Emmett (Ted too if he's really for B&J) will be able to run some serious interference on Justin's behalf while he's still so vulnerable.
Looking forward to the coming chapters!
Happy Writing and HUGS,
~Nichelle
Author's Response: He remembers their first year together and the prom, then the memories of waking in the hospital in New York until the present. So he's still lacking. While I'm sure he won't put up with anything from either Mel or Mikey, Craig is a different story. You have reason to worry, as you'll find out later. Thanks for commenting.

Okay so the truth about who Dani's mother is needs to come out because the way people keep discounting him is absolutely ridiculous. Keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Dont' worry. Justin now has Dani's birthcertificate thanks to Brian or should I say Ted.

I'm thinking Craig had Jennifer lobotomized... Or maybe she was taken over by the pod people... He, he, he... Run, Justin, Run!
I hope things with Brian develop sooner rather than later, he needs to know how much Brian truly loves him...

Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: April 18, 2016 05:37 PM · On: Chapter 12
WOW, I HATE your Jennifer, like mine much better. They are the ying and yang of Jenniferhood. Interesting that Justin has "forgotten" his artistic ability. That was such a big part of who he was. Hope that knowledge comes back eventually. Love Dani, it is great that he & Gus hace bonded. You have me completely caught up in this story. It is really great, full of surprises, twists & turns!!!!
Bill
Author's Response: Your Jennifer is everything this one is not. She's the one that told Craig that Justin was fooling around with an older man and who thought she knew better what Justin needed after the bashing. Plus she has Craig's help in not facing reality. I'm glad you like Dani. : ) Hope you enjoy the surprises and twists & turns in the future chapters. As always your review makes my day.

Wow! If Jenn is off her meds, why is Craig still around? What the hell is going on with them! It's lke she got a lobotomy or something. Really looking forward to seeing how that plays out, or if in the end, Jenn is just a bitch. Thankfully Molly is around.
Is everyone an asshole in this? (Except Emmett of course :) ) Everyone is acting so weird. I'm loving it actually! It seems like it would be such fun to write them all as buttheads. LOL. Almost therapeutic in ways. :)
Am really glad you are updating on such a regular basis.
Cheers,

Author's Response: Unfortunately Craig is like a bad penny. The sad thing is that she doesn't even realize she's not acting like herself. Molly will be a stabilizing influance. Most of them brought out the worst in me so I'm having fun with them. You are right it is theraputic. Unless I have problems posting another chapter should be up tomorrow. Thank you for reviewing.

He'll get all his memories back and in the right order and things should be fine. Should be, but who knows. He was so worried about Dani, but Dani was only worried about his stomach. Shades of a you get Justin. Ha!

Hi, my friend - trying to play catch up it with so many stories lately. But I wanted you that I am enjoying this one and, and I'm glad you decided to post it on here. I always have been a sucker for Justin as a dad; I keep remembering that one episode on the show where he was rocking JR in his arms with that blanket, and thinkng what a great father he would be to a kid, just like with Dani. :)
Looking forward to reading the rest of this! And saw your note on FB; if you ever need a beta, I'm here. ;) Thanks again for the intriguing story. And thank you for all the reviews you have given me over the years, along with so many other writers ~Kim

Wow! So much has happen in the last couple of chapters... I'm so glad Justin got his memory back. Now I wonder how he'll react to all the time thats past, or if he'll remember everything?
Are you reading Bittersweet Promises by Charming and Lorie? Reading their fic and you fic at the same time has me going a little insane... They have some similar things happening, although they're very different stories.
Justin is in court fighting for his son, Gus ran away and is staying with Brian, and Mel and Lindsay have split up, and Mel been in court... So when I'm reading, these fics I get confused, intertwining them together and I have to stop and try and figure out which is which... I love both of fics, I just though I mention it because I'm feeling like I'm going insane at times. Ha, ha, ha...
I can't wait for more...
Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen
Author's Response: Of course I'm reading Bittersweet Promises, who could resist. I agree that the court scenes can cause confusion and I admit that my second court room scene was influenced by Bittersweet Promises. There are a couple of stories that I get mixed up in my head too. I actually have to read the last chapter I review to put the story where it belongs in my head. Thank you for commenting. : )

Justin passing out not good, but could be due to all the family and friends interferance.
Looks like Justin may have some memories returning.

Hello my friend, I have to say that your chapter synopsis did confuse me. I thought "Jen" was Jennifer Taylor and I wondered what Gus had to do with her and her issues??
Debbie seems to be quite the troublemaker. Emmett continues to be the voice of reason and Steady Teddy has all the details under control.
I really like those two friends really stepping up to help B&J. Now we need to know what made Justin collapse, could Mel have struck him? Does mentioning Hobbs mean his memory has returned? So many questions but I know we'll just have to wait until tomorrow. Still really loving your story. Bill
Author's Response: Sorry about that. I have gone back to correct that, besides why would Jennifer be talking to her mother, though when you think about it it's something that could happen. I'm not sure if Deb is so much being a troublemaker as warning Emmett that something is wrong. Yes, you will find out answers tomorrow. Thank you so much for your support!
Reviewer: Blossomlegs (Signed) · Date: April 16, 2016 05:41 AM · On: Chapter 9
Molly is a lttle spit fire, good for her. Hope she can learn all the past in her brother's life. Mikey and Deb better watch it or Molly might make them fall. Poor Justin there is so much bad along with the good that he doesn't remember, just hope he doesn't get dragged down when and if he gets his memory back, as long as Brian is there to give him all the support he needs hope it will be a little easier on him. I so love the little whirlwind Dani, he is very protective of his Daddy. Even with the age difference Dani and Gus are great together.
Fantastic update, thanks for sharing!
JoAnn
Author's Response: Glad you like Molly. She's missed so much in her brothers life. She's strong and not going to take shit from anyone. Funny you should say that about Justin. Both he and Dani will have problems in the next chapter. Gus has taken Dani under his wing, after all he did save the boy. Thank you for you wonderful comments.

Looks like Mel and Linz are going to have some problems with Brian and Justin regarding Gus and Jenny R. So great that Em, Ted and Cyn.have Brian's back, they are so great,esp.Cynand Ted getting a lawyer and being on top of everthing. Just hope it goes smoothly with not many waves. Hate to see Gus and yes even Jenny stuck in the middle of it all. Just hope the kids get what they want. So much happening and poor Justin with amesia ,now with all the reat of the drama. Dani is such a swet wirlwind, plus the handycap of not being able to talk,only Justin kowing sign language. Just hope Mikey and Deb,plus Jen and Craig stay away and leave them alone.
I'm so hooked on this verse and fic.
Thanks for sharing!
JoAnn
Author's Response: With Em, Ted, and Cynthia in their corner nobody will get away with messing with the kids. Glad you're enjoying this. The answers to your questions turn up in future chapters. Thanks for reviewing. : )
Reviewer: Nichelle Wellesly (Signed) · Date: April 16, 2016 02:52 AM · On: Chapter 9
Just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying this fic!! Besides, ANY fic where Michael gets his comeuppance deserves a prize, LOL! But seriously, I'm loving all the twists and turns of this. And its unique perspective on what could have happened had Justin hit his head again. Whereas I am sad for him, I am also hopeful that he and Brian can make a new start.
Michael and Mel....BOTH of them deserve for their partners to have left. I'm always pissed that Ben ignored Michael's obsessions and basically excused his bad behaviors towards Brian, Justin and also Hunter in the beginning. He never learned that it was okay to tell Michael that he was acting like as asshole and making a complete ass of himself. Michael is NOT a friend; he is a parasite. And it has been proven again and again throughout this fic. I'm glad that Cynthia knocked Melanie on her ass. From the sounds of it, someone needed to a LONG time ago! Is it sad that I hope that Lindsay stays gone? But I know that it won't happen. That bitch is like Michael which is why I consider her the bad penny that always shows up when one least expects it.
Debbie....no words for her at the moment. Well that's not exactly true but in the theory of respecting even my fictional elders, I will not say them in reference to her. Now Craig...that's another matter. Somehow I don't think the pills that he's been giving Jennifer are a means of relieving her anxiety but as a means control her. I don;t trust him further than I can throw Debbie.
Looking forward to MORE!

Lindsay up and left Mel? Hmm wonder why. What's Gus a house slave to be at her beck and call and watch Jenny? Yay Justin! Michael's had that coming for years. Do deserved. And Cynthia knocking Mel out flat. Whoa! Mel better watch who she messes with. Michael expects Brian to pay for Mel taking him to court for support payments. Is he completely out of his mind. Shame on Emmett for not checking who buzzed. Dani telling Justin he looked like a girl because of his ponytail. How cute. Great chapter.
Author's Response: I don't think you'll ever guess, why in a million years. Melanie isn't making any friends at the moment. Mikey has a blind spot where Brian is concerned and thinks he should be the center of his universe. Thank you for commenting!

Hi I think I caught a typo or somthing. In chapter six and chapter eight it says that he PI that Brian hired to find Justin was hired for the last ten years ever since the world trade. In chapter one it doesn't say that he hired a PI and in chapter two it says that's when Daphne came to him that's when he hired a PI. Which would be only five years. If you don't mind me saying all you would have to do if you wanted you could add a sentence to chapter one that Brian hired a PI to find Justin and in chapter two just have Brian tell Daphne that he has had a PI looking since the world Trade for him. Just so it would all say the same thing and not be contradicting. I by no means am trying to tell you what to do or mean you any disrespect, just giving a helpful suggestion. It must be hard to write a good story which you are doing and I respect that . And though I am not a writer I can only imagine what goes into a story as you put your heart into it.

Lift is a giveaway, Yanks call they elevators. So I enjoyed the chapter for that little glimpse of you my friend. Everything about the chapter was interesting. Bad PI solves that pesky time line issue.
Thanks for the fast updates, that make the cliffhangers easier to bear. Great story!!! Bill

Reviewer: Carrie (Anonymous) · Date: April 14, 2016 02:30 AM · On: Chapter 7
When Brian said it was luck that I found you and didn't know what to say. And then told Justin that he thought it might be a second chance for them I get that but why wasn't Brian showing emotion or thinking of his feelings for Justin at the hospital or the hotel. He never had any thinking moments about his love for Justin. And did he only think that he could have a fresh start because he thinks he changed. Doesn't he realized that he changed after the Babylon bombing and that would be enough for Justin. He says he changed a lot in the ten years and wasn't an asshole like he used to be but where did the emotion go. Wouldn't he have more emotion if he matured more. In the show he had more emotion in the last episodes.
Author's Response: You are so cute. Maybe this story isn't for you. You like stories with depth and mine is not. It's whimsical and weird. But in any case do you honestly think Brian's going to risk scaring Justin away by being emotional. Especially if Justin doesn't remember that Brian changed and Justin left. I don't get all emotional in my writing.

So he's not deaf or mute? Why does he sign and why would of Justin taught him if he wasn't deaf or mute? Waiting for more.

Hmmm - things are getting curiouser and curiouser... Seems like Craig is still an asshole and the pills that Jen is taking explains a lot. The line - Her Justin, all of seventeen walked over to the young man, smiled at his mother before merging with the young man.- that's sounding very 'supernatural' or was it just the pills? Pills which kind of sound like Craig is using to control Jennifer. Seems like the next chapter is going to be verrrry interesting.. Can't wait.

Author's Response: I think losing your memories will do that to you. Thank you for all your nice comments.

Now it's getting interesting. I'm glad that Brian told the truth but when Justin asked him how well do you know me why didn't Brian tell him that they were going to get married?
I don't know why Brian is so obsessed about Justin seeing him as a new person because before Justin went to NY he had changed for the better ,Brian opened up and then they were engaged. Maybe he changed more after ten years but he did change before Justin went to NY?
I am not fond of Jennifer she sounds bitter and unhappy probably because of Craig that jerk. I would love it if Craig would finally get what's coming to him and that Justin and Brian get to do the honors. Any hints that you can throw our way would be greatly appreciated. HA HA. Next chapter please!
Author's Response: I couldn't help but remember all the times when Brian had hurt Justin and vise versa. But Justin doesn't know that and I couldn't see Brian telling he that since he'd already dealt with Justin's memory loss once. There are a number of ways I could of gone with that and that was the way I went.

Thanks for the note.I read the chapter end note that you said you added. Brian never hired a dective to find Justin in chapter one after the attack He. Only did when Daphne came to him five years later in chapter two. But in chapter six it says the opposite that he hired someone that has been looking for him since the twin towers. So isn't chapter one not correct?
And the note also said that Justin was brought in the the hospital from the towers or a mugging when Daphne went in to have her baby. But you told a reviewer that Justin was in the hospital from the towers atrack and was in the hospital for like five years before Daphnbe even got there. They didn't arrive at the hospital at the same time. Is the note correct or what was told to the other reviewer correct. If you would be kind as to answer both questions that would also answer it for others and maybe the confusion would stop. We could stop the madness lol
Author's Response: When I started this story over a year ago, I probably felt that Brian was too busy with things and having money problems to have hired a detective. That didn't mean he didn't go looking himself. Technically nobody knows if Justin was a victim of the attach, he just happened to end up in the hospital at the time of the attack. This, of course, is subject to change at any time. LOL.

Something tells me I'm not going to like Jennifer. Of course, maybe I shouldn't judge her too harshly so soon...But she seems to have the capacity to be difficult. Anyways, as always, great work. :)
Author's Response: Thank you. I appreciate your comments.

I love how Brian acts with little Dani. I just hope if they are going to be a family will Justin and Brian find a way to adopt him. He has no records and was taken. I don't like Jennifer now hopefully she won't be mean to her son and Craig will he be the same homophobe as usual or will he apologize to Justin and make up with him? Fat chance maybe. Lol
Author's Response: You've been peeking at my hard drive!!! I don't want to give away the plot. LOL.

Hi. I read your story I found some things confusing so I read your reviews hoping to find answers there. When you had answered the same question with different answers so still confused. Lo
In the story in chapter one after the twin towers go down Brian does not hire anyone to find Justin or doesn't look for him. It seems he doesn't really care even if the rumors are that he could be dead. That's not like the Brian we know is he suppose to be cold not much emotion because Justin was the love of his life. In chapter two like four years later after Daphne comes to Brian it is only at that time when Brian hires someone to find him and then stops when they can't find him. If Justin was thought of being dead then why even hire anyone. In chapter six, Brian said to Justin that he didn't think he was dead and that he had a dective looking for him ever since the twin towers came down? But in chapter one he never had a dective look for him when the towers came down. He accepted that Justin was dead maybe. And only in chapter two four years later did he hire someone and that wasn't for very long because he didn't keep the dective that long. So the dective wasn't looking ever since the towers came down like in chapter six. Maybe chapter one is wrong about that?
Author's Response: Color me embarressed. I can come up with several different senerios for every question someone is confused about. So I decided to add an end note to the first chapter hoping that will tell people where the story is coming from. Unfortunately this will not be the last time someone is confused. The whole story will hit some people that way. However I had a lot of fun writing it even if it doesn't always make sense.

Everything was going fine. Brian did the right thing by telling Justin who he is. Not surprised he keep a scrapbook of Justin's life. What's up with Jennifer? We'll at least she'll learn not to hang up on someone before learning why they're calling. Hope she doesn't have any heart problems because she's about to get the shock of her life. Brian better get back to the house as fast as he can. Justin is going to need him.
Author's Response: You'll find out a little what sort of problem Jennifer has in the next chapter. I had a lot of fun writing it.

Very intense chapter. I'm guessing Dani signs because he's mute? Jennifer and Craig together can only mean trouble. Can't wait for the next chapter
Author's Response: A long while back I think I read that HIV babies have problems. For some reason I didn't want him deaf, and I've come up with a reason why he's mute (read end notes for the 1st chapter) You don't know just how much trouble Jennifer and Craig can cause. Hope you enjoy this strangely wierd story

Confused. How can there be a change in plans that Cynthia thinks that Jennifer wants to meet at the house and not the loft. Jennifer says that she can be there in 30 min . That means that she is leaving now to be there in 30 minutes? In chapter 2 why does brian say that Justin is not worth it. Doesn't he love Justin with all his heart? And what is all the signing from Dani about? He was a baby when Justin took him so who taught him and Justin told Brian that he is not deaf. Don't understand. There are a lot of other questions that I have but I don't want to bother you with but a lot of things don't line up. Details can be important but I will keep on reading.
Author's Response: So many people seem confused. When I wrote the chapter, I thought they would meet at the loft, but Jennifer seemed to think Cynthia was talking about Britin. You'll see in later chapters why. You gotta understand I just write these chapters, I don't always read them to see if they make sense. I try to, but sometimes I miss things. I can come up with half a dozen storylines for each question and have. Some of the questions are answered in later chapters.

You keep us guessing, Jennifer back with Craig??? YUCK! I wonder how she will react to Justin and to Dani. Fascinating weave of events, can't wait for more. I am amused by how many people want an accounting of time, I was just drawn in by the story and never thought about the timeline. Bill
Author's Response: You have made my day. Unlike your Jennifer who is strong and totally likable, you'll find mine a little strange but hopefully believable. And thank you, thank you for not thinking about the timeline

Just caught up with the last 2 chapters. I'm so glad that Brian listened to Ted. (I'm assuming that the 'someone' Ted spoke of was Michael) always best to get things sorted before Michael or even Debbie get involved.
Jennifer with Craig again....???? She sure has changed a lot - it will be interesting to see her reaction when she sees Justin. Looking forward to seeing how you deal with that. Ted, Emmett and Cynthia - really are true friends.. I do have a question - I'm not sure if I missed it - why does Dani sign? And some other questions - are they going to talk about Dani's HIV status - wouldn't he be need to be under medical care and how is Justin able to afford his medication under his current circumstances? Looking forward to what's next.
Author's Response: Jennifer has her moments, you'll be surprised by her attitude. Darn, just when I thought I had all the background figured out (check response to Carrie) you bring up another good point. For the sake of this story lets assume that while he is HIV Postive he doesn't have any symptoms? I guess I should have done more research and used a beta.

I agree with Emmett, Gus and Ted. Brian needs to tell Justinthe truth. I personally can't wait ;)
Author's Response: Yep and I've just posted the next chapter.
Reviewer: Alois (Signed) · Date: April 12, 2016 12:54 PM · On: Chapter 4
I'm glad Gus is okay. I'm wondering how Justin will react when he will understand who Brian is. Maybe Britin will help?
Author's Response: Just a few more chapters and you will have your answer.

Ohhh, the mystery :) off to read the next chapter!

Just found this story and wanted to know in chapter one Brian didn't hire anyone to try to find Justin after the world Trade tragedy but he did hire someone to try to find him after Daphne came to see him years later. Why didn't he try to find him before when the tragedy happened? He still loved him the same didn't he? Wouldn't he want to know that he was okay and do anything to find his love and not just believe the rumors that he was dead? Wouldn't he have gone to his apartment in NY or do somthing? Just wondering about what Brian was feeling then.
Author's Response: Do you know how hard it is to write a story and think of every contingency? I laid awake trying to figure out how to answer this. It would require a major rewrite on the early chapters and wouldn't really change the story. Let's assume that Justin went to NY. He needed to settle in. Brian had already lost Gus and now Justin was gone. Kinnetic was still young, money was going to rebuild Babylon. Perhaps Justin met someone, who knows. They drifted apart. Then comes the attack. It's pandamonium. Trying to locate Justin is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps Brian did go to NY and look for him. He had to go on with his life, Kinnetic became his life. Love isn't enough. The rest of the family have written Justin off as dead. Then Daphne shows. Ted works some magic and finds money to pay for an investigator. Then Daphne disappears, maybe she goes to NY looking for Justin. She's HIV poss., the baby is ready to be born, but there are medical people that are leary of her. She's alone and afraid and the stupid nurses are afraid they might catch something. (now I know that's not most nurses, but just suppose.) In the meantime Justin was brought in, whether it was related to the attack or he was mugged we really don't know. He has no id. No one to pay his bill. He drifts around the hospital, finding food, helping where he can. He's Sunshine, but doesn't know it. Eventually he's drawn to the nursery and finds one little baby who has no one to look out for him. The poor little thing is HIV positive. Maybe the embiligo cord was wrapped around his neck at birth. Perhaps Justin learns that this baby is going to be put into the system. The system that's already lost him. He hords bottles of formular, diapers and takes the baby and runs. Out on the streets it's even more difficult. Perhaps he sneaks into one of the many hotels and scavenges leftover food left by guests, rooms left open once they've checked out. He survives. He has no money no identification. He's just one of the many homeless taking handouts. Maybe this is his story or maybe you could make up one of your own. In the meantime I'm losing sleep trying to figure out what I left out of my original story. : )
