I don’t mind saying it really broke my heart a bit to find out that Cynthia wasn’t pregnant. It would have been interesting to see where that storyline could have taken us. In the grand scheme of things though, I’m glad that everything is well and that Brian was there to help her through all.
Author's Response:
Sorry for the disappointment...my intention was to introduce a complication for Cynthia that would give Brian an opportunity to be there for her in the same way she has been for him. Yes, I agree it could have been interesting...I'm not sure I'll ever write B and J in this 'verse with kids (other than Gus), but I won't say "never." At this point, though, Justin in this 'verse doesn't really want a child. He loves his and Brian's life exactly as it is -- and if they need a kidlet fix they can always go to Rob and Adam's. :)

This was a great story. I really enjoyed a story from Cynthia's point of view. Glad she was not pregnant, but I lol when Brian offered to go with her to child birth classes and be there for her. Love this universe and you continue amaze me with your ideas and your writing.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! <3 It was fun to write a different POV...though I always am ready to return to Brian or Justin, I do enjoy exploring someone else's "voice." Thanks for indulging my love for "this" version of Brian! I can't seem to let him go.

What a wonderful ending. Cynthia, indeed, is part of the family.
Author's Response:
Thank you! <3 Yes, she is! And Rob too. Now to see what they can all do together as a team.

While I'm glad that Cynthia wasn't pregnant, I'm also sad, because a little Cynthia would make for a wonderful storyline. Glad to see that Rob is going to be joining the crew.
Author's Response:
I knew there would probably be a few people who were disappointed, but it was more of a way to really give Brian a big reason to step up and help her out in the same way she's helped him. :)

This was wonderful! I loved Cynthia's perspective, and how Brian takes care of her. Hope to read more like this in the future!
Author's Response:
Thank you! <3 Brian takes care of everyone, I think, in his own way. He won't hesitate to step up for the people he cares about...he just doesn't want any fanfare or a big "to do" made about it. One of my favorite things about the character is the man behind the facade, and I'm having so much fun playing with that in this 'verse. Thanks for reading!

Excellent!!! It's rare to read such a long story with Brian and Cynthia. They are so great together that it's something I missed in the series.
I love "Kinnected"; great name!
Thank you for sharing this story with us.
Author's Response:
Thank you! Glad I was able to give Cynthia a little bit of extended airtime. ;) I loved the two of them in the series as well and wish we could have seen more of the friendship they even seemed to have in the series.
Now we will see what I can do with Kinnected now a part of the fold, and a totally different industry happening under Brian's roof. :)
Thanks for reading!

Very surprising news and all good for Kinnetik's partners!
It must be really nice to be pampered like this!
Author's Response:
Haha, yeah, it would be awesome, huh? I need someone to take care of me like that!

Perfect endidng to a wonderful story. Loved that it centered on Cynthia with Brian adding the "spice" that it needed. You have an amazing talent. And this "Changed" series is beyong fantastic. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it and are continuing to enjoy the series. And thanks for the wonderful compliment ont he series -- it makes me so happy to know that after a year, people are still loving this version of Brian as much as I do. <3

It's great to see how Brian and Cynthia feel each other and their mutual support is amazing.
Author's Response:
Thank you! :) I enjoyed writing that scene between them in the car, as Brian reiterates his promise to Cynthia, though she's having trouble accepting it.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like Cynthia very much right now? So she’s mad at a guy for wanting to marry her that she just might be pregnant by? And the fact that she’s not planning to tell him doesn’t paint her in a good light. She should at least give him the courtesy of letting him know what her intentions are. I’m sorry but she’s be pretty unfair here.
Do we get to know if she’s actually pregnant sometime soon?
Author's Response:
At this point, since she doesn't know, it's not something she wants to bring up with him, but if she is, she will definitely have a lot more to think about than what she has at this point. And we will find out more soon! As for their relationship, Cynthia is a woman who is very career focused and knows what she wants out of life, and Rich wants something very different. Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Great chapter. Cynthia is hanging in there, but you can feel the toll it is taking on her. Wonderful writing. Will Monday never get here for her appointment. LOL

Thank you! Monday is coming up soon, I promise!

It seems that Cynthia already made the choice, in case she really is pregnant.
If she is, I'm wondering if she is considering asking Justin and Brian to adopt the baby as she would never want to have happened.
Glad to see how Brian and Cynthia are aware of the other's needs and step in to help/support.
Author's Response:
Cynthia is definitely a woman who knows what she wants, and though this situation has thrown her for a loop, she still is sticking to her guns as much as possible. The main theme of this story is all about their "work family" and their relationship with each other, and how they take care of each other.

I forgot to write that Brian's reactions to the stick and to Cynthia's girly parts is hilarious. If only Lindsay could hear him, she would blush from head to toes, knowing she is the only one Brian saw naked (I guess they were).
It helped lightening up the mood.
Author's Response:
That part was fun to write -- glad you enjoyed it! And yep, Lindsay is the only woman Brian has ever been with. ;)

I always find weird that someone like Cynthia would throw such a box in an office trashcan, even if it's in a private bathroom. I guess it was due to the shock of the result and I understand that's a way for Brian to find out.
Author's Response:
The cleaning crew normally empties that trash every night, and they were there when she was there, so she assumed it would be safely gone by morning...they just missed it that night.

This chapter is heavy on emotions and suspense. It doesn't seem like a great news for Cynthia though; if Rich is the father, he might get worse than he already is about what Cynthia is supposed to do. Will she be able to know who the father actually is?
Author's Response:
We've still got a lot of twisting and turning to go...I can't really answer that question right now. ;)

Was the "wondering if this is how the next 9 months going to be if I'm pregnant" a hint?
Glad Cynthia was able to get a replacement thanks to Justin.
Author's Response:
She's just experiencing a lot of "what if" and a lot of dread right now, and not knowing what's going on is also not helping her at all...

So well written. You can feel the emotion and struggle that Cynthia is going through in each word. Wonderful writing, as always.
Author's Response:
Thank you! <3 It's a tough time for her right now, for sure. I'm glad that I was able to convey that effectivel through words!

Awesome chapter a in charge but gentle Brian and for once a flustered Cynthia but two friends really connecting
Author's Response:
I feel like that gentle side is a side of Brian not many see or want to see, but it’s there, even in the series. Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Great scene. Brian steps up as usual with all his friends, even if it is uncomfortable. REally liking this story, but I have enjoyed all of them in the universe.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you’re loving it! Writing this scene was hard, feeling like I got the right balance of emotion and caring and of course Kinney snark and their easy banter with each other. Hopefully I got it in the end!

You give us an honest look at the questions that Cynthia is asking herself. Now we have to wait for her decision.
Author's Response:
It's definitely a moment in one's life that causes a lot of deep thoughts...I'm glad it came across as honest and true. I've got a few more monkey wrenches to throw at her first. ;)

Interesting twist. I can't wait for an update. Since in the last story, Rob has finally jined Kinnetik, this is next in the timeline. Wonderful storyline as always.
Author's Response:
This story overlaps timeline with the previous three stories, so I could fill in some gaps and add some details to things. ;) Glad you liked the twist...more surprises are coming! We aren't done twisting yet...ha.

Looks like Brian is going to need Rob's help. If she is pregnant perhaps Justin can talk Brian into adopting?

They all have each other's backs...and I love that about all of them. :)
