Awe man this can’t be the end, I loved every word of this. I’m so proud of Gus for achieving getting his novel out there for the world to see. Then the proposal wow that made me giddy happy I hope we will get to see the wedding someday. And JR she really went for her goal and got good on her she is a power woman. 

 

Brian and Justin should be so proud they did so good xox

Author's Response:

I am so happy that you enjoyed the sequel as much as the first installment of this story, Vicki.  Several years ago I had written about a half dozen chapters of a third installment that I called Double Trouble: Grandparents.  Then real life took over and many different issues (some health, some family problems) took over and my muse left me.  I stopped writing for quite a while.  I pulled the story from the sites, but I never threw it away.  I have now retrieved it and am slowly but surely working on more chapters.  This time around I want it completed before posting.  I would hate to start posting again and then have something come up to stop me like before.  I will promise to keep working on it and hopefully will have the entire story finished someday in the future.  Thank you so much for your wonderful support for this story.  It is very special to me.  Warmest hugs, Grammy

Good on you Noah I’m proud of you for going and talking so openly with your brothers. Please listen to their advice and stand up for yourself. Break free and live your own life the way you want to. 

 

Fantastic work x

Author's Response:

Noah was definitely lucky to have such compassionate and understanding older brothers.  Now it is time for him to use what he has learned from them to make for a much better future for himself, which might include one lovely young lady.  Huge hugs, Grammy

Thank goodness for this I was praying they would work it out fast and they did. I loved what Brian said to his son it was very Brian mixed with Justin lol. I want to throttle Tom so badly that no words are enough to describe it. I can’t wait to see what’s next for these two boys they are such an adorable couple. 

Author's Response:

Now that Gus and Jason have come to terms with the issues that threatened them, they are ready to tackle whatever comes next... together.  Sounds a lot like Brian and Justin.  LOL!  Huge hugs, Grammy

Oh Lordy no, I can fully understand why Gus reacted like that I think I would have as well to be honest. I hope they work it out and fast because they are soulmates and need each other so badly. 

Author's Response:

Have faith, Vicki, because we have to remember that Brian and Justin once had almost all of the same kind of issues to deal with and their experiences may prove invaluable.  One mistake doesn't have to mean the end when there is tremendous love between two people.  Huge hugs, Grammy

Hmmm I don’t trust this Alejandro, there is something about him I don’t know. I think JR could do a whole lot better then him. I loved her teasing banter with Brian and Justin it shows how close they. 

Author's Response:

I think that there will be more to Alejandro than what is on the surface.  The question is, will JR feel comfortable with all sides to her new romantic interest?  Huge hugs, Grammy

Oh Jason tell Gus right away this is a huge mistake keeping the info from him. They are so wonderful together and I hope they have kids in the future a nice big family. I hope Jason does tell him everything eventually I want them happy. Wonderful chapter x

Author's Response:

Like so many folks, Jason is afraid that the truth will hurt Gus and thinks it is better to omit it.  He rationalizes that it isn't really lying.  Looks like it's time for another talk with experienced Brian and Justin.  Huge hugs, Grammy

JR is taking a bit from each of her dads and mother with her confidence she has which will do her some good I’m sure navigating College life. I hope her heart doesn’t get broken by Noah and tat she trusts her gut with everything. 

 

Gus and Jason are serious hot aren’t they boy girl you get my phone on fire. 

Author's Response:

JR is in for a bumpy ride with her interest in Noah.  But at least she will also have the support of her Dads just as Gus does.  Sorry about the overheated phone.  LOL!  The boys just can't help themselves.  Huge hugs, Grammy

 

That feckin Tom I knew from the mention of his name before I didn’t like him. That grrr he is evil isn’t he. He better be glad I’m not in that story or I’d deck him. I do hope our boys will be ok and that their love will survive x

Author's Response:

It looks like Gus will have to face the same kind of challenges that Justin did with Brian.  Only time will tell how strong their relationship really is.  Huge hugs, Grammy

The boys are have a tropical paradise dream trip aren’t they. Hot and sexy with romance talk about perfect d83;a039;d83;a039;d83;a039;. JR really has it bad for this young man, I do hope if they meet again and actually talk that it goes well for her. Happiness is what we all need isn’t it. 

Author's Response:

Good people deserve to find happiness with someone who is their perfect match.  Doesn't always happen, but we'll see if it does for our young folks here.  Huge hugs, Grammy

They are going to have an empty nest soon that won’t be easy for them. They have done such an amazing job with the kids and should be very proud of themselves. It’s going to be interesting to see how they all get on living outside of home. 

Author's Response:

The one thing that Brian never thought he would face is 'the empty nest syndrome', but he will always have Justin to help him deal with it.  However, as with all parents, you never stop being a parent even when the kids are grown.  They will still be needed many times over.  Huge hugs, Grammy

I’m so sad to see the end of this story as I never wanted it to end. You captured every beautiful side to them. I loved Gus’s passion in trying to find his books and Jason’s love in helping him and reassuring him. Noah and JR are so cute together and my love of them all is strong. You have brought characters to life and made me love them. Thank you for writing this story xxx

Author's Response:

I am absolutely thrilled that you have enjoyed my DT stories, Vicki.  I am hoping that I will be able to finally complete the third story which I began quite a long time ago.  It is called Double Trouble: Grandparents.  If I can finish it, I hope you will join me in the continuing saga of Brian/Justin & Gus/Jason & JR/Noah, along with all their friends and family.  I appreciate all the wonderful comments you've left me.  Thank you so very much.  Huge hugs, Grammy

Noah’s trip to his brothers and their family was so moving. He really needed that and I hope the love and power they gave through that love carries him through with what he needs to do. Noah needs to break free and be himsisbd let himself be happy. I hope he can get to talk with JR and that she listens to him and understand Ms. This was so powerful and fantastic x

Author's Response:

This trip for Noah has proven to be the best thing he has ever done, so far.  Now it is time for him to take what he has learned and change his life for the better.  Huge hugs, Grammy

My heart is so glad to see them make up and get back to what they have. Those two are so beautiful together and so in love it would be such a shame for it to end forever. Love how you have them together 💕💕

Author's Response:

There is no way I could keep such a loving couple, who are perfect for each other, apart for too long.  So glad you enjoyed this chapter so much, Vicki.  Huge hugs, Grammy

I’m so worried for the boys I pray this won’t separate them forever as their love is so beautiful. I’d love to see them marry and have a family of their own.  Brian and Justin I’m sure will be there to support them no matter what.  I wonder how JR will react to all this . 

Author's Response:

True love is a very powerful thing, which is why Brian and Justin survived so many trials and tribulations in the beginning years.  And of course, they will always be there for their loved ones.  Huge hugs, Grammy

I now feel for Noah, he brain is so confused and his dad is in there sprouting that hates I hope he can break free of it. This new guy seems nice and JR seems happy with him. I hope all can be happy as they all need joy in their life. 

Author's Response:

Noah is one of my favorite characters to write because he is so complicated.  His brain says one thing, thanks to good old Dad's indoctrination, but his heart is saying something entirely different.  As for the new guy, not everything is as it appears.  Hugs, Grammy

Gus is so romantic doing that for Jason, I do hope their future is bright and loving. I do fear not mentioning Tom was a mistake and that Tom is hiding something. I’m loving Gus and Jason together. I hope they start a family xxx

Author's Response:

I agree that the lie of omission can be just a deadly as an outright lie, but only time will tell how much damage Jason's decision will cause.  Hugs, Grammy

I think maybe Noah could be gay and afraid to say it out over his dad being apart of the church. I do hope JRs heart isn’t broken. I love Gus and Jason they are so cute together so I hope they get married and have a big family. I’m loving this story so much 💕💕

Author's Response:

Oh, Noah will have things to deal with regarding his family, but being gay isn't one of them.  But you'll learn a lot more about their family as the story continues.  Gus and Jason do have a great connection, which will take them far into the future.  Hugs, Grammy

I’m so mad at Jason for doing that and I’m wondering did this other guy stage anything to make it look like they did something. I hope the boys will be ok. 

Author's Response:

As with most relationships, even the most loving, there are those moments when the bumps in the road are hard to take.  This incident will be the first true test of just how strong their love is for each other really is.  Hugs, Grammy

Gus and Jason sounded like they had a thrill magical holiday they needed that before their working life starts. And JR she is a smitten kitten isn’t she. 

Author's Response:

The boys definitely enjoyed their last vacation before real life starts.  As for JR, she is very intrigued by the stranger, no doubt of that.  Hugs, Grammy

They boys are doing fantastic with JR and should be very proud of themselves for that. Lol I can’t blame Brian for getting out of town on shopping day with the girls. I love that the boys are still so passionate with each other xx

Author's Response:

The previous four years have been a great learning experience in parenthood for Brian and Justin.  They've done a great job, as witnessed by the success their kids have made of life so far.  Gus and Jason are definitely still very much in love with other.  There will be bumps in the romantic road ahead, but life always offers such things so that we appreciate the good times when we have them.  Hugs, Grammy

Awe I loved this, I love seeing them inlove it warms my heart so much 💕

Author's Response:

I have to laugh cause I just finished responding to your last comment on the original story and hoped you would check out this sequel, fully unaware that you had already started to do so.  LOL!  But I'm thrilled that you decided to continue with their story.  I hope you will find this one as interesting.  Thanks for being such a great commentator, Vic.  Huge hugs, Grammy

Didn't you start a 3rd story in this series? I was going to re-read it one day, but wanted to wait until you completed it, but now I don't see it anywhere.

Maybe I'm confusing this with something else, but I thought it might have been a BJ grandparent story...

Author's Response:

You are not confused, Kellydeer.  I did indeed start a third story in this series which followed up on B/J as grandparents.  Unfortunately, I had a number of serious issues to deal with in my real life for quite a long time, including health and family problems.   As a result, after far too many months of not being able to work on two of my chapter stories...this being one of them...I pulled the story so that no one else would get into it and find it incomplete.  I still have the finished chapters in my file and truly hope to get back to them someday.  I've only recently started writing again, but am concentrating on a different couple (Agron and Nasir from Spartacus) for now.  When I dp get back to the 'Double Trouble' story, I will only post it when it is completed so that there will be no danger of it getting stalled again.  I do appreciate you asking and apologize for the long, long delay.  Thank you so much.  Grammy

OMG Grammy I just loved this series you are such a wonderful writer your stories keep me enthralled till the end. I just loved how Brian realises that he is truely the man Justin knows he always was. Brian eagerly accepts the justification of his parenting skills could only be done because he shared the load with Justin.

I am sorry I always keep skipping ahead but as I said your stories enthrall me.

 

Author's Response:

I am so happy to hear that you liked this series, Chris.  I have a Part 3 on the boards and scheduled to begin very soon.  I hope you will join me as the young couples contemplate making a family of their own, which will make Brian and Justin the sexiest Grandparents on the planet.  LOL!  Thank you so much for all your support.  It is truly appreciated.  Warmest hugs, Grammy

You go JR! I loved this chapter.

Author's Response:

JR is one feisty young lady.  LOL!  Hugs, Grammy

The genius of your writing is the subplots you create rich in such detail with the human conditon. You never fail to entertain me my dear. You do it with entertaining examples and I poorly try to do it being all preachy like. Can't help it as a product of a firm Baptist background now enlightened about the truth. I recently shared some of my facts on homosexuality and the Bible on a Christian group online and the hate mail was flaming hot. They don't want to know the truth.

Author's Response:

I feel so lucky that religion was never such an issue with me while growing up.  My family always tended toward free thinking and making our own choices.  I'm a confirmed agnostic now after attending a Christian College, which led me to believe that it was man who created God(s) rather than God who created man.  I believe man did it to try and explain away all the things that they didn't understand or feared.  Of course, my mind is always open to everyone's ideas, because I do believe that anything in life is possible.  That said, I hate how religion is used to hurt and harm anyone else.  More people have died or suffered in the name of religion throughout history than from almost any other cause, if not for any other cause at all.  This is why I created Noah and his family, to show the harm that overzealous religion can do to others.  I really appreciate your comments on this,  I'm so sorry that you had to endure such hate for trying to open the eyes of the blind, Bob.  Warm hugs, Grammy

 

I love where this is going. Don't bother answering these short dribbles; I just want to raise your count.

Author's Response:

Well now I understand why I never answered all your responses before now, but too late.  LOL!  I just checked and see that I did respond to your final comment.  Mea culpa, but I'm still glad that I am now taking time to let you know once again how much I appreciate all the comments you leave me, Bob.  Bless you for your kindness.  Huge hugs, Grammy

What will Gus do? So many ways this can go.

Author's Response:

But, of course, it has to go the right way for our boy.  Hugs, Grammy

Sweet

Author's Response:

Thank you, belatedly, Bob.  Warm hugs, Grammy

Wow! I'd like to bitch slap that preacher dad and tell him a fact or two about his Bible and gays.

Author's Response:

Preachers like John are the thorn in the side of religion.  That is the sad truth.  Hugs, Grammy

Good they made up but the first crack is always the most painful.

Author's Response:

I'm so mad that I failed to see your comments, Bob.  They are always so insightful.  I hope you are seeing now how much I appreciate what you say.  Apologetic hugs, Grammy

If JR is anything like Justin that boy is in a world of trouble.

Author's Response:

Way way too late in responding to your comments, Bob.  I'm sorry I missed it.  But my appreciation is never late.  Thank you very much.  Huge hugs, Grammy

This chapter was so anal; you might be surprise how very few gay guys do that stuff.

Riming that is.

Author's Response:

I can believe you JT.  It's like anything in life, some are more apt to indulge in certain behaviors than others and at different rates.  I often have our boys enjoying that particular sport, but mostly for the kick my readers get out of imagining it.  LOL!  Great comments, as always.  Huge hugs, Grammy

I am so glad Justin & Brian had a sensiable head on and talked some sense into Gus.

But at the same time they are very good at giving info to you and letting Gus make his own choices 

Author's Response: You hit the nail on the head Carrie.  Brian and Justin have learned how to pass on hard earned experiences but allow youth to find its own way....the sign of a truly good parent.  Thank you so much for your comments, as always my dear.   Big huge hugs, Grammy

I've been reading this story over the past few days and really enjoyed it! Brian and Justin did such a great job with Gus and JR and I love that Gus wrote a book about his family!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed this story Kat.  It started out to be a tale that would show what great parents Brian and Justin could be and then took on a life of its own with wonderful characters like the Tyler family and lots of love to go around.  I'm so happy you were pleased with how Gus and JR turned out and what great parents our boys turned out to be.  And don't you think they should make a TV series based on Gus' book?  LOL!  Big huge hugs, Grammy

Good grief! Jason and Gus are as bad as B & J! :)

And I sooooo knew JR was going to bump into that guy at the church when she couldn't find him as the hotel! It was fate.

Author's Response: I know Carrie, what you mean about Gus and Jason.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to being in love...at least not in their case.  It's amazing where you can meet the people who end up being so important in your life.  I actually stole the idea of the bride leaving a purse behind with a Senior ring in it from my own life.  Unfortunately for me, I never got my ring back even though my bridesmaid did find my purse.  Unfortunately for my bridesmaid she didn't find an adorable hunk in the rectory either.  Sometimes fantasy is more fun than the reality.  LOL!  Thanks again for your great comments.  Big huge hugs, Grammy

Oh thank god Ben seems better in this story :)

Nice to hear what hunter is doing and he's all grown up with a family of his own. I don't know why but I always kinda forget he's about Justins age in these future stories and not the teenager.

I can't believe Brian was so shocked Justin spanked him :) I'm sure Brian's dished it out enough.

I always knew Justin was the one secretly in charge of their relationship :) Poor Brian was just a sucker. I love that bit were Brian is debating if he should trust Justin and Justin looks innocent. 

Author's Response: This is one of my favorite chapters to write because it clearly shows that time has not dimmed the playfulness between Brian and Justin which helped to make their love affair so much fun.  One of my favorite scenes from the show was when Justin was dancing on the table for Brian and ended up getting a spanking for his trouble.  I laugh every time I see that scene.  I know what you mean about Hunter but the truth is he is only about 4 years younger than Justin.  I knew he couldn't have children naturally because of the HIV status but I didn't think he should be cheated of a family of his own.  I'm glad you liked that part too.  I agree with you Carrie that in some ways Justin was very much in control of the direction that his relationship moved with Brian.  They actually were perfectly complimentary to each other in personality.  Thanks so much for the wonderful comments.  I appreciate them so very much.  Big huge hugs, Grammy

I am so choked up that the only thang i can say is the story was beautiful just beautiful.I got so emotional at the end. Wonderful job Gammy

Author's Response: I am so glad that you enjoyed this story Jerri.  Thank you very much for going on this journey with me and for letting me know how you felt about it.  Big hugs, Grammy

oh sandy, you had me all teary eyed with this ending. you did a fantastic job.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your wonderful comments Sherrie.  I hated to end their story but other stories were waiting impatiently in the wings and I thought it was time for both Gus and JR to embark on their own futures.  I'm so happy to know that you enjoyed the ending...tears and all.  Thank you for being such a loyal and loving reader.  Big huge hugs always, Grammy

soooo great.... where were you? I missed you :-)) rose

Author's Response: I'm so sorry to have been missing for so long Rose, but thank you for asking about me.  I am a diabetic with a number of other health problems to deal with too.  Unfortunately the diabetes has caused serious years long damage to my left leg and sometimes the pain in that leg is almost unendurable.  When I'm going through a bad spell with the leg I have to stay down with my leg raised.  It limits the time I can spend on the computer quite seriously.  I also have arthritis in my hands which prevents my being able to write out my stories long hand.  (Don't ask me why I can type for long periods of time without pain but I thank heaven for that blessing.)  To make a long story short, I've been under the weather for a bit longer than my usual bouts that normally only last a few days.  This is why it took so long to get this chapter out.  I'm trying to get back into the groove and am working hard (whenever my leg allows) on the next chapter of 'The Story Teller'.  I hope to have it up soon.  I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter and hope you will be back for the conclusion to this story which is coming up next.  Again, thank you so much for being such a wonderful reader.  Much love, Grammy

Happy for the new chapter.  It was good to find Gus happy and JR making a decision about her "boyfriend".  (a good decision)

Author's Response: I'm really glad you enjoyed where life has taken Gus and JR.  Luckily JR finally accepted with her mind what her heart had been telling her all along.  The story is close to its conclusion and I thank you for staying with it all this time.  Big huge hugs and happy holidays from Grammy

lovely chapter. i feel for noah because he's not going to know where to go once he talks to his father. the elder roberts will not be happy once he sees that noah has a mind of his own that he decided to use it. it's going to be hard for noah to get out from under that thumb.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for those wonderful comments Sherrie.  Actually, that is why Noah pulled out the writing pad on the plane.  The dam has broken and he is a very intelligent young man who now is thinking for himself and he isn't going into this without a plan.  He just needed the right push to get out from under his father's heavy thumb and his wonderful brothers provided it.  Soon he can move on to mending fences with JR.  Stay tuned for further developments.  Big hugs, Grammy 

brian and justin still have it. that was one hot session.

i'm glad that gidge's parents are there in case there are any problems or jr needs someone to talk to.

noah is going to come back from rhode island different. different in the way he feels and in the way he thinks. that's going to be good for him.

Author's Response: Changes are definitely in the air Sherrie.  And it will be in both their best interests.  Glad you enjoyed the little bit of horseplay our darling boys had fun with.  Never too old for parlor games...right?  LOL!  Thanks so much for your comments my dear.  Big hugs, Grammy

thank you. you just made my day... or evening here in germany...hihi... I am soooo happy to see that gus and jason are reunited.... I love even more for that.... :-)) rose

Author's Response: I couldn't keep our young men from each other too long.  Their love is as genuine as Brian and Justin's (actually Gus has the same strong feelings as his Dad...when he falls, he falls hard).  I'm glad it brought a smile to your face Rose.  Thanks so much for commenting.  Big hugs, Grammy

sandy, this keeps gettting better and better.

i'm glad gus finally realized where his heart belonged, that finally the light bulb went off. he has to thank his fathers for that one. if there were anyone whom he could look to and see what he wants to have it would be those two.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you are enjoying this story Sherrie.  I love showing how Brian and Justin and all the angst they had to go through in their lives has made it possible for them to help the young folks they love so much.  Thank you so much for your wonderful comments.  Hugs, Grammy

glad to read more about noah... I thought you did forget him...I can´t wait for their brother reunion... matthew is gay, isn´t he??... JR open your eyes...:-)) rose

Author's Response: Oh Rose, I never forget my characters, especially one I like as much as Noah.  He has based his whole life on the teachings of his father who kept an iron hand on his youngest son, especially when he couldn't control his older boys.  But Noah has a good heart that simply needs the right person to open it wide.  And yes, Matthew is gay which is why the Reverend forbid Noah from seeing him.  Luckily the eldest, Jacob, who is also a preacher is nothing like his father.  Keep a close watch on the interaction between the three brothers which is coming up.  Thank you so much for your comments my dear.  Hugs, Grammy

ok... so they brake up to taste life... to be with other men and learn to appreciate what they had or could have again... great idea but it makes me sad... I really liked them.. but I know, they will be together really soon again... great done as always..:-)) rose

Author's Response: Don't despair Rose.  They are not breaking up in order to try out other men, as Gus has said.  They are just going to spend time apart for a bit in order to reevaluate the strength of their relationship.  Brian and Justin know that they have never tested their boundaries and that is why they agree with Gus' decision.  If the couple can survive a separation then their foundation is strong.  I can promise you that they will learn just how strong they are very soon.  Thanks so much for your comments Rose.  Big hugs, Grammy

Hi grammy, this story is getting so good. I can't wait for the next chapter. Also i love all of your stories that I have read. I'm glad you are feeling better cause miss you. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Author's Response: How very kind of you Jerri, and how thoughtful of you to write these lovely comments.  I'm so glad you are enjoying this story.  I love writing about Gus and the special relationship he has with his two dads.  I will do my best to keep writing stories that you can enjoy.  Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how you feel.  Big hugs, Grammy

i don't know what to say about noah. it seems that his beliefs are in the wrong place. his faith too.

jr does need to take the chance on someone else and i think so far so good with alejandro. will have to wait and see.

brian and justin are a riot. how the kids put up with them is beyond me.

Author's Response: Noah, sadly, is the product of his upbringing but don't count him out yet Sherrie.  As you can see, he is beginning to question whether his upbringing is the right path.  And remember that not everything is as it seems.  Just a little heads up.  As for our long-time couple....hee hee, you just know they embarrassed those kids on an occasion or two.  LOL!  But I doubt if they could stay mad at them for too long.  Thanks so much for your comments.  They are so appreciated.  Big hugs, Grammy

poor noah... he needs answers...he needs his brother right now... maybe he should visit him. :-)) rose

Author's Response: I couldn't agree with you more Rose.  I have the feeling that it will be just the ticket for our young man to get his head on straight.  Stay tuned for further developments on the JR/Noah/Alejandro front.  Hugs, Grammy

Hi Gramms, thanks for the update. Hope i'll still be here when they celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. Love Brian and Justin.

Author's Response: Knowing Brian and Justin, they'll be staying at the same hotel and indulging in the same pleasures ten years later.  Thanks so much for your comments Thess.  They are always appreciated.  Big hugs, Grammy

i love how they're getting along, but this tom is going to bring nothing but trouble go them. not only is jason the pride of the office, but gus has something tom wants. doesn't bode well, especially now that jason is keeping him a secret from gus."He knew that Gus realized how important Jason's job was to him so he convinced himself that Gus would appreciate not knowing something that might jeopardize Jason's job or their relationship. Let sleeping dogs lie, Jason told himself." that is so wrong. i thought part their relationship was based on honesty.

Author's Response:

You are so right Sherrie, about the honesty thing between Gus and Jason, and I really struggled with whether to have it remain Jason's secret.  I'm afraid I found it necessary for where the story is going.  In a way they are both keeping something from each other...Gus with Jackson's continual flirting and Jason with Tom as his co-worker, but neither means it in a harmful way.  But you know what they say about good intentions.  Only time will tell if they are able to weather this brewing storm.  Have faith.  Look at all the Hurricanes and Tornadoes that hit Brian and Justin and they made it through.  Remember that Gus questioned whether he and Jason had something strong enough to survive the way his Dad and DJ did.  Whether he likes it or not, he will find out eventually.  Thanks so much for your wonderful insightful comments.  Big huge hugs, Grammy

Hoping that JR gives him another chance and he can actually find an opportunity to explain himself.  I was so happy to see I had 2 chapters to catch up on.

Author's Response: You are wonderful Judy.  I love how you haven't given up on Noah.  There is a lot more to the young man than what his father has tried to make him.  Hopefully JR will see that in time.  I told you I'd try and keep busy while you were away having the time of your life.  Hee hee!  I always keep my word.  But boy am I glad you're back.  Big huge hugs, Grammy

very powerful chapter. Sounds like JR needs to still like Noah, and drag him home to educate him, perhaps Justin can be the voice of reason that points some things out to her.

Looking fwd to the next chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your comments Alys.  I wanted this chapter to strike home that not all things are as they seem.  Noah misunderstood JR and now JR is misunderstanding the heart of Noah.  Hopefully two souls can overcome their mistaken ideas.  Stay tuned.  Grammy

poor noah, to be living in that household. another homophobe to join the long list already involved with the kinney/taylor clan. no thank you.

i can understand jr's anger, but she doesn't know the whole story behind his thinking. right now i can't see it working out unless noah was to leave home and be honest with her. maybe even meet brian and justin. does he have mr. peterson/marcus as a teacher? wouldn't that be a surprise.

Author's Response: Poor Noah is so right.  We are often a product of our upbringing and this poor kid has been bullied by his.  But don't count Noah out.  Remember, he has two strong and loving older Brothers.  And his feelings for JR are pretty strong.  We all know that love is a stronger emotion than hate.  Only time will tell.  And thank you so much for your wonderful comments Sherrie.  I love to read them.  Btw, Gus isn't teaching anything Noah is learning, but the Professor just might have some lessons for the young man to learn outside the classroom.  Hmmmm?!  Big hugs, Grammy

when is the balloon going to pop? i'm really happy for all of them but  all this happiness can't last forever. jr and noah? yes, stop being the chaser and become the chasee? i hope it doesn't backfire on her.

Author's Response:

Awww, there are a few more things to learn but you are right on track Sherrie.   Always got to have a little trauma to make the good times even better.  LOL!  JR is definitely in for some surprises.  Thanks so much for your wonderful comments.  Big hugs, Grammy 

 

Yeah, great advise from B&J for Gus. Wonderful chapter, love the dynamics of the 4 men.

Author's Response: There is nothing like the advice of two experienced men to help two novices to life.  Eventually it will be Gus and Jason's turn to pass on lessons learned.  I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter Alys.  Thanks for your comments.  Grammy

our men have certainly learned alot in the past years, and who more knowlegable than them to give gus the advice he needed. experience is a wonderful teacher.

Author's Response: I so agree with you Sherrie.  That is what a good parent does...pass on their own hard won knowledge.  A smart kid, like Gus, pays attention too.  Thanks so much for your comments.  Big hugs, Grammy

I wonder if Brian or Justin will kick Jasons butt for hurting their sonnyboy. Jason shouldnt have lied because it sounds like this Tom would have just loved to inform Gus where Jason really stayed the night so its just aswell Gus found out of Jasons mother, update soon

Author's Response: Don't worry Sara.  I have the feeling that Brian and Justin will be more than capable of handling the situation and being of help to Gus in dealing.  Jason certainly did learn the mistake in not being honest and upfront.  That was what Justin always loved about Brian....he never lied to Justin, even when Justin didn't like what he was hearing.  Update coming soon.  Thanks for commenting.  Grammy

What doesn´t kill you makes you stronger. When you think the one you love is worth it you will work through everything together and come out of it - stronger as before. And Gus will get the best help and advices anyone can get from Brian and Justin. They really have pretty much experience in that department.

Great chapter as always.

Hugs, Sunny 

Author's Response: I agree with you completely on everything Sunny.  This next chapter will show how important it is to learn from the experiences of ones elders.  Hee hee!  We all know that Brian and Justin had to learn to be together as a full fledged couple the hard way.  How handy that will be for poor Gus, who had romantic notions of neither of them ever making 'that' sort of mistake.  Ah, to be human.  Thanks so much for your comments Sunny.  Big hugs, Grammy

great chapter. noah is sooo shy... sweet. but jr will fix this problem...he won´t know what hit him...:-)) rose

Author's Response: Thank you for your comments Rose.  JR is going to find quite a challenge in Noah...and his family.  But JR will have her family to help her deal.  Hugs, Grammy 

"She counted herself lucky to have two, not one, fantastic men to help her when she needed some sound advice. The guys had never steered her wrong so far. She doubted they ever would. " if they were any other men i wouldn't take their advice, but we all know that they speak the truth. she certainly is one lucky girl.

Author's Response: I thoroughly agree that Brian and Justin have been through the attraction wars and know a lot about how to get a man's attention.  Who better to help JR now that she has finally found someone that she feels that special chemistry with?  But trust me, she's going to need their wisdom a lot in the coming months as she learns more and more about Noah.  Thanks so much for your comments Sherrie.  Hugs from Grammy

JR has found the mystery man again, it will be interesting to find out more about him. Gus and Jason are so in love its sweet. Great chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks for your comments Sara.  There is a lot more to learn about our gey-eyed stranger...some good, some, well you'll soon see what I mean.  There is a lot more to Gus and Jason's story too.  Hope you'll enjoy the journey.  Hugs, Grammy

gus and jason are having a great time that's for sure.

jr's mystery man, he's shows up at the oddest places. i thought for sure he's be with the wait staff at the reception. she better give her name and number or get his before she leaves the church. will it be just her and gidge on a beach in hawaii four years from now? i don't think so.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your comments Sherrie.  Always a pleasure to hear your thoughts.  I have to give Gus and Jason some fun before real life intrudes.  LOL!  As for the mystery man...I know it seems odd that the young man shows up at both the hotel and church, but you know I always have method in my madness.  It will all make sense in the next chapter, I promise you that.  I'm afraid that poor JR is in for some confusing times, but I'll say no more.  I know...I'm a stinker!  Big hugs my dear, Grammy
