Guess Michael did good by going to Brian. Ben didn't have the history. Justin will understand. Like Brian said, she's going to be needing help, eventually.
She did carry it a bit too far and too long.
Author's Response: Debbie is an emotional mess. Brian is one of the few, maybe the only person, who can get through to her right now. Thank you for reading and commenting!

Hilarious and brilliant chapter...thanks.
Author's Response: Glad you found it entertaining! Thank you so much for commenting. :)

Superb ..poor mikey..lol
Author's Response: Michael is in deep trouble with Debbie. Will she forgive him? Keep reading! Thank you for the positive review.

Brian's plan worked, but I think Justin is right Mikey needs to depend on Ben.
Author's Response: Michael and Justin have always had a little jealousy going on between them in terms of Brian. But since Michael is married to Ben, you would think that instead of going to Brian, he would rely on Ben. Some things never change. Thank you for commenting, hon!

Debbie and Brian just have a special bond between them. Glad in this story it is a good one. Good chapter.
Author's Response: Yes, Debbie and Brian do have something special. I appreciate you reading. Thank you, as always, for the review!

Hi, Terry! Glad to see an update to this. :) Justin obviously can keep a secret a lot better than Michael. Ugh... I honestly don't know how Ben puts up with him!
And I was afraid at first when you mentioned a 'klunk,' that it was Debbie falling to the floor instead of hanging up on him. But it would serve Michael right if she died like Vic did (i.e., when he is not around). That man has some major growing up to do. Not sure if that will ever happen or not, though. He has depended on his mother for so long that I don't think he will ever mature properly. It will be interesting to see what happens after he doesn't have her for support anymore.
Thanks for the update! Looking forward to the next part. Glad to see you back on here! ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi Kim, Debbie falling would have indeed been a good one. It's uncanny how you mention Vic among other things. It must be your writer's instinct, I swear sometimes that you are reading my mind! lol You will understand when I post my next chapter. Thank you so much for your support and your positive review. -T

Justin did good by letting her know both he and Brian will be there for her and, he knows how to keep his mouth shut. His worried moid coukd have others thinking it was due to his upcoming show.
I don't blame Deb for being angry at Michael. It wasn't his place to tell. Better to give hera few days before trying to talk to her again.
Author's Response: Justin, unlike Michael, knows how to keep a secret that someone entrusts him with. You are right when you say that it is not Michael's place to tell Debbie's news to anyone. Debbie should have been able to decide when and who she wanted to tell. Thank you for reviewing my story. Hope you continue to read and enjoy it!

As always, I love the story. You have a gift for storytelling. Even though the chapters are short, they beg for further investigation of the tale. I can't wait for new updates.
Author's Response: First, let me say thank you so much for your kind words. I am just happy to be writing again and realize that I am but one writer on this website of many, very talented writers, such as yourself. As for the chapters, I've never really written very long chapters, I guess it's not my style. However, I am sincerely appreciative that you are reading and also taking the time to leave such a nice review!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 18, 2018 09:33 PM · On: Chapter 4
Oops. Looks like the cats out of the bag. Justin didn't know he wasn't supposed to know. Michael is so funny. He knows he made a mistake and now he has to pay. It's a good thing that Ben loves him in spite of his faults.
Author's Response: You're right. It is a good thing that Ben knows exactly who Michael is and loves him anyway. Let's see what happens now that Debbie is pissed! I appreciate the review. Keep reading! :)
Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: March 18, 2018 07:20 PM · On: Chapter 4
Michael will be getting at least one smack to his head. Happy to see an update. Bill
Author's Response: Ha, ha, that would be just like Debbie, wouldn't it? Thank you for reading and commenting, Bill!
Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: March 18, 2018 04:36 PM · On: Chapter 4
Typical Michael, can't keep his big trap closed about anything. Great job.
Author's Response: Michael should have known better. Now he has to deal with Debbie! Thank you so much for the your encouraging words.
Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: March 11, 2018 04:58 PM · On: Chapter 3
I can definitely see Brian handling Debbie's cancer this way - although Justin did enjoy it... but then to hear about Debbie after... (shaking my head at Brian) And Michael never could keep his mouth shut - I expect all hell is about to be let loose. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind review. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: March 10, 2018 01:36 PM · On: Chapter 3
Hi, Terry! Well, while for most people this would be a very odd way of telling your lover/partner that someone he dearly loves has cancer, I can see this being done by Brian. His form of 'pain management.' I don't blame Justin for being a bit miffed for not telling him before, but then again, I think Brian needed that physical bond with Justin to perhaps help him realize he is very much alive, and to help steel him for what he needed to tell his partner. I'm glad he told Justin, though, and did not keep it a secret from him.
Michael...grrr....while I feel sorry for him because it's his mother, he just can't do as he's instructed! He HAD to know that Brian would have to tell Justin. Now he must deal with the consequences. He just never learns.
In a way, all this support will be a source of comfort to Debbie, though, I hope.
And you were right - ha! There was definitely B/J interaction in this chapter - LOL! Thanks for this engrossing story, Terry. I'm glad to see you back. :) ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi Kim! You hit the nail on the head. Brian did indeed "f---" Justin into oblivion because he wanted to feel alive. And yes, he needed time to tell Justin. For all the years that Justin has known Brian he still doesn't have a clue sometimes. Justin often reacts with his heart, not with his head when it comes to Brian. Michael is another story all together. I've always thought of him as immature and "needy". He couldn't do the one thing he was asked to do, keep this a secret until Debbie felt like telling her extended family. Thank you so much for reading and I am glad you are getting into the story. I hope it will continue to intrigue you! Hugs-T
Reviewer: galesweetie (Signed) · Date: March 09, 2018 08:39 PM · On: Chapter 3
T, It's been awhile since I've read a B/J story. It was nice getting back into their lives again. You didn't lose their voices (after all this time) they are crystral clear! I fell right back in! Does that make sense? lol!! Love that your B/J are still together ! No NYC for JT! And YES! They are doing it 'raw'! Shoot! Haven't said that word in eons!! ;) Sad that Britin's gone but the LOFT was and always will be their home. Heartbreaking about Debbie......and spot on about the wait for "call" from doctors. Even w/MSK ....before they make a move they need EVERYTHING! As you and I both know. Looking forward to the next chapter!!! <3
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Frannie! It took me a while (a long while), but I finally felt inspired to write something. I'm definitely bringing my personal experiences into this. Has anyone not been touched by cancer? I really appreciate your positive review. Hope I don't disappoint! Love you! -T xoxo
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 09, 2018 01:21 PM · On: Chapter 3
Sounds just like what Brian would do. Now what happens?
Author's Response: Guess you'll have to read and find out. While the story is not B/J centric, it will have B/J in it. Thanks fo the review!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 09, 2018 12:42 PM · On: Chapter 2
I'm glad that Michael isn't being a selfish shit. I worry what the diagnosis will be.
Author's Response: Diagnosis will be coming very soon. Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 09, 2018 12:36 PM · On: Chapter 1
Continue, by all means. This sounds just like them and I want to know what happens next.
Author's Response: Thank you hon, I will. I always finish my fics. It's nice to hear some feedback, though.
Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2018 07:29 PM · On: Chapter 3
Mikey can be such a dope. Of course Brian was always going to tell Justin even fi he was told not to tell anyone. Interesting story, sad but pulls you right in. Bill
Author's Response: Doesn't anybody realize that Michael will always spill the beans. That's just who he is. Yes, Brian was bound to tell Justin, but always in his own time and his own way. I'm so glad that you are enjoying my story. :)
Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2018 07:18 PM · On: Chapter 2
So like Brian to want the best for Deb. Not sure how Mikey will get along without his mother.
Author's Response: Michael was always the weak one. And Brian has always been generous with his friends and family. Thank you for the review!
Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2018 02:48 AM · On: Chapter 3
Brian handled the news with his tried and true pain management...sex.
Yeah Michael forgot that one little bit of info although Brian would have been a bitch to live with if Justin didn't know what was going on with him.
Author's Response: Although a little more tame than in the past, yes, Brian is using sex to deal with his fears/pain. It's a good thing Brian told Justin. Justin was pissed that Brian hadn't told him when he walked through the door to the loft. Thanks so much for the review. I appreciate it!
Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2018 02:16 AM · On: Chapter 3
Come on Justin Brian’s need for connection was to drive his fears away for a few minutes. Sex is his go to comfort zone. He has major strides by going home to Justin and not the baths!
Author's Response: You've got it exactly right. Brian's way of dealing with his fears/pain. Thank you for commenting!
Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: March 07, 2018 12:24 AM · On: Chapter 3
Good chapter. Michael just can never keep his mouth shut.
Author's Response: Michael never seems to learn. Carl should have known that telling someone like Michael to keep a secret would make him want to tell someone even more. Lol
Thank you for reading!

Awesome work...like the plot..thanks.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I haven't really read a story with this plot, so I decided to write one. I didn't know if there would be much of an interest. Glad you like it.
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: March 04, 2018 02:13 PM · On: Chapter 2
Hi, Terry! Happy to see another chapter to this intense story. I read one of your review responses, and it doesn't surprise me that you seem to have personal knowledge of the ins and outs of dealing with cancer, b/c what you wrote seemed very precise and believable. It has to be SO frustrating to know you have this virtual, ticking time bomb inside you that needs to be dealt with quickly, and yet there is still all this red tape to go through!
I suspect this will be a real emotional roller coaster, not only for Michael and Brian (and Carl), but also for the readers as well. And I do think we often take a lot of our loved ones for granted; especially the young ones, that they will be here a long time, and that is not always the case. Makes us realize that we need to slow down a bit and think about what is REALLY important.
So happy to see you posting again! Thanks for the update! I'll be looking forward to more. :) ~Kim
Author's Response: Thanks, Kim. Yes, this story is very personal to me. When cancer strikes, it effects everyone connected to the person. Writing this will hopefully be cathartic for me.
Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: March 04, 2018 03:57 AM · On: Chapter 2
Cancer is such a scary disease, I'm sure most people have had family or friends that have either gone through it or lost their life to it - I Know I have. Debbie cooking is so Debbie. And the waiting is for answers is terribly difficult. Michael of course, is being Michael but I do understand his frustrations at the red tape. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Unfortunately, this story will have some of my personal experiences with loved ones and cancer woven into it.
Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: March 03, 2018 08:50 PM · On: Chapter 2
Carl and Deb are doing the right thing by keeping busy. It's the only way to making it through.
Michael, can understand him being upset, but even if it is Brian, he should have followed Deb's wishes and not tell anyone. Ben better put on his big boy pants for when Michael really needs him to help keep Michael from drowning in loss.
Author's Response: Michael never could keep a secret. Thank you so much for the review. I appreciate it.
Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: February 28, 2018 09:33 AM · On: Chapter 1
I'm happy to see you are back! I'm not sure if I can read chapter by chapter because it's difficult for me when there is the death of a character. But I like this beginning and I can read it when it's completer to see how everyone will react to Debbie's death.
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm happy to be back. I appreciate your feedback. I can understand you not wanting to read it until it's finished. Hopefully I can give you a good story to read!
Reviewer: sophiesmom (Signed) · Date: February 28, 2018 03:37 AM · On: Chapter 1
As long as Michael doesn't go into whiny why me mode and cling to brian, i say go for it.
Welcome back.
Author's Response: Thanks. Not really sure where I'm going with this, but I'm taking it chapter by chapter. Thank you so much for the review!
Reviewer: Lori (Signed) · Date: February 27, 2018 06:43 PM · On: Chapter 1
I like the story, but hate to think of Debbie dying, but please continue to write the next chapter.
Author's Response: Hi Lori, Thank you for reviewing. Anyone who knows my work knows that I always complete my stories. Hope I don't disappoint you!
Reviewer: landlady_4rent (Signed) · Date: February 27, 2018 04:26 PM · On: Chapter 1
Hi Terry, it's great to see you back. I think you should continue. It will be interesting to see everyone's reaction. Hugs! Annie
Author's Response: Hi Annie! How did I miss this review? Hope you are well. I am excited to be writing again. Thank you for commenting! {Hugs}
Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: February 27, 2018 05:50 AM · On: Chapter 1
Yes I think you should continue as I can see the chapters focussing on each of the family and their way of dealing
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing the story. I will continue and delve into this deeper. I think it will be interesting to see how everyone handles this.
Reviewer: PA Boi (Signed) · Date: February 27, 2018 04:59 AM · On: Chapter 1
Debbie wanting to cook seem so in character. This is a very interesting start, hope to read more. Bill
Author's Response: Thank you for the positive review, Bill. There seems to be some interest, so I will most likely continue with the story.
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: February 27, 2018 02:23 AM · On: Chapter 1
Hi, Terry! What a wondeful surprise to see you writing a new story! I definitely would love for you to continue. Debbie had such a profound impact on everyone around her that I would find it interesting to see what happens when she is no longer there as the 'glue' that holds the family together.
Great beginning! Hope you will continue this. Welcome back! ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi Kim! I really value your input. I wasn't sure if this kind of story would be of interest to anybody. I am definitely going to continue it. It's nice to be back! :)
Reviewer: Happy Gamma (Signed) · Date: February 27, 2018 01:06 AM · On: Chapter 1
Great start. Think you should definitely continue with the story. It is well written and caught my attention from the beginning. Looking forward to reading it to completion.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the feedback. I haven't written in such a long time. I guess I'm a little insecure as to whether people want to read this type of fanfic.
