Well i guess Michael can't really be able to be what Ben wants him to be..Maybe it's better for them to take break from each other for awhile..I just hope Debbie won't come to his rescue againðŸ˜

Oh I hope Em can keep this secret.. but making him get Teddy to spill was funny
really, Michael has not manners... not even telling the girls they are coming early? How does Ben not make him let them know? ugh

I'm glad Ted did the right thing and gave them the heads up... i don't hate the idea, but i think Mel is looking at it and going about things in such a rushed and messed up manor at this point.

Love the intro chapter... the reflections from each of them (except Justin)
did not see that mel would be the friend who wanted the baby... from the summary, I wasn't even sure which guy was the one... I figured Daphne asking Justin or Lindsay asking Brian again...
can't wait to read more... write quickly please... lol

Who are you and what have you done with Mikey?
on a serious note, could you please stop writing the most sweet and romantic words I've ever read? I want to live in you stories. When Emmett said he was waiting for Drew to move, oh, it was so swee! And Em and Justing talking about Brian was perfect. I like my boys happy.

I guess Daphne speaks Mikey. He seemed to listen as she reminded him to listen, lol.
I can't imagine Justin as a distance father and wanting caress makes my point.

Ummmm.....Hunter and Daphne? Not sure how I feel about that one.
Date: Jan 06, 2017 10:08 am Title: Chapter 25
Love it Hunter and Daph. Mikey is going to blowup. Nice that all the family will be their to show their support for Hunter andDaph.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing!

Ahh, so that's who Hunter was texting. Love it. And everyone is going to the dinner to protect both Hunter and Daphne. No greater love -

Oh dear. I thought Michael was a little strange but I was willing to roll with it. Now he's back to his normal self, which while fun is irritating because it's like dealing with a two year old.Maybe they can get Jenny Rebecca to explain it to him?
[Report This]Date: Jan 06, 2017 12:43 am Title: Chapter 23
Emmett and Drew are going to make it. Michael is acting out of character but if he keeps it up he and Ben have a great shot of making their marriage work. I hope he can.
Date: Jan 05, 2017 10:17 pm Title: Chapter 23
There really is no grey area for Michael is there. It's black or white, nothing inbetween. No wonder both Ben adn hunter are so weirded out. Hopefully he's able to gain some balance somewhere along the line. It's kinda of freaky they way he's talking. It almost seems disingenuous.
Huh....now it seems Emmett and Drew are going to move to NY now. the group is splitting up and moving forward. I think it will be healthy for all involved really, even if some of them don't see it. *cough cough* Michael *cough* so what happens if Carl and Deb move? Think they would? I mean he is retiring. Oh the next while is going to be interesting that's for sure! Hopefully Michael and Ben actually talk soon.
Cheers,

So Mickey finally got a clue??but i wouldn't expect it to last longer it's Michael we are talking here.i just wish Daphne kick hiss ass first for what he said about Justin years ago but maybe she doesn't know about it.?
Ahahaha Justin planning everything about the baby that isn't conceive yet is just adorable and cute much to Brian's amusement.🤗🤗🤗

This is such a cute verse. Looks like Mikey , Linz, Deb or Mel are going to be to anti?! Brilliant writing as always.
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to next update.

Good for Daphne!!! Finally someone gets a broom and sweeps out the cobwebs where Michael's mind should have been! I've always noticed the difference between Michael’s brand of 'friendship' and hers. Both are in their best friend's corners but for significantly opposing reasons. At first, it was Michael waiting for something that would never in a gazillion years happen. But even after Ben came along, the friendship- such as it was- was never put into it's proper perspective by Michael. Daphne is Michael's polar opposite as friends go and so was able to lay it all out there and help Michael see his assholery from the place of an equal title, regardless that Michael is older and should know better. I'm glad that she FINALLY got him to see reason- even if it is short-term. It's progress! As for her 'boyfriend'.... Hunter has indeed found himself a gem IF it's Daphne he's been texting. What a pair!
As for Justin.... LOL! What a neurotic little nerd he's becoming and they haven't even gotten to conception yet! He better not turn into another Michael or Mel, Lindsay and Brian might tar and feather him. I think it's just nerves and excitement for the possibility right now but mayne it's better that he gets it all out right now. Please tell ke he doesn't get any worse...lol As for Brian, his dry humor provides the perfect foil for Justin’s overzealousness. Calm, cool, collected and conniving if necessary when dealing with Justin, lol. He knew just when to tell Justin 'No' about the cameras!
Happy Writing and HUGS,

What an interesting chapter. I can't believe that Daphne finally got through to Mikey! Hope it works out. The text could have been from Michael and not from a girl friend. Bet that would surprise Ben. Justin is so funny and I agree that the camera might be a good idea. I need one to keep an eye on my mother. LOL.
Date: Jan 04, 2017 10:03 pm Title: Chapter 22
LOL! Mel adn Brian are both going to confiscate Justin's books in the near future. LOL.
I never thought in a million years that Daph would be the one to get through to Michael. Will wonders never cease! Good to see though, for both Ben and Michael's sakes, and Hunter too. It's going to be a long convo I'm sure, but one that's a long time coming. We'll have to see if he keeps it up. Will he actually derail when the girls actually move or will he be the supportive friend/father. I mean really....at least NY is closer than Toronto.
Well done!! I've been checking back to wait for updates. It's kind of mind numbing at work right now so this was a very welcome reprieve.
Cheers,
Elaine

FINALLY!!!!!! Finally Deb seems to have gotten a much needed clue! So glad that Justin took the opportunity to really tell Deb a few necessary truths. It seems like she really listened this time. I can only hope that she sticks to it. Hard hapbit to break, and I'm sure she'll have a few slip ups, but hopefully Carl and others around her will rein her in.
While Lindsey is getting some much needed "parentl acceptance" from Jen, Mel seems to have really softened towards Brian and seriously considering his feelings. That was a very nice and touching scene. Naturally they had their own way of communicating, without seeming to be emotional, but I do believe each were touched and a new budding realtionship can really begin between these 2.
Go Emmett! YAY! Relationships really seem to be blossoming and strengtheneing all round, except of course for Ben and Michael. Will michael finally get a clue like his mother seems to have? Highly doubt it. He's too driven by his own wants and needs. Really wondering if he's going to go through with this trip to New York or if he stops mid way remembering Ben's words. Again, highly doubtful. Looks like there is much angst to come for these 2. Ben and Hunter will have to take steps out on their own for a time anyway. Not sure if Michael will ever mature enough to see what's what.
Great chapter and as usual, can't wait for more!!
Cheers,
Elaine

So much happening. Debbie realizing that she need to stop helping Michael. Mel worrying about Brian, now that's something. Drew and Emmett getting back together! Good thing Deb didn't call Em, I think he's going to be too busy.
Date: Jan 04, 2017 1:19 am Title: Chapter 20
Hope Ben can find someone who really will care and love him, along with Hunter.
Mikey really needs to get dropped off a cliff, and be alone, to really see how selfish he is. Deb really needs a wake up call, think Carl needs to look or someone else.
Fantastic update, thanks for sharing.

**Tapping on the screen** Hey you, Michael are you deaf?? stay home and work on Ben. No one wants you around except Ben. And as Brian said it would be the first thing you've done right in 7 years! Ugh!!!
[Report This]Date: Jan 03, 2017 9:35 pm Title: Chapter 20
I can't get over how Michael doesn't think he needs to tell his business to anyone, but everyone should tell him and Debbie before they decide to do A-N-Y thing. And somehow it's everyones fault but theirs. How can Mikey fix his marriage when he doesn't think there is a problem. Carl told Debbie straight out what was wrong and she rejected it. Looks like Mikey is not the only one who ends up alone.

Good for you Brian,you no longer manipulated by your so called best friend!!Why don't you just cut him out from your life for good,maybe you and Justin will have peace for once...
Yaaap.the whiny brat is on the way to his own grave..as simple as stay home,he can't even manage to do that??He's almost 40 with a brain of a toddler...
Can't wait for the next chapter..
Date: Jan 03, 2017 7:59 pm Title: Chapter 20
Gee WHIZ!!! No one can buy Michael a damn clue! What a pathetic little troll he is! I'm glad that Brian FINALLY called Michael on all of his bullshit regarding the major break-up of him and Justin. Michael knew every single ounce of what Justin was feeling but instead of being a true friend to Brian, he chose to put his bid in to make them break up. People often ask me of the core reason why I can't stand Michael. Well there they have it straight from Brian's mouth in to Michael's deaf ears. Selfish Sot!
As for Deb.... I'm so happy that Carl put his big ol' flat foot down and gave her one of the ultimatums she needed to be able to let Michael go. It was high-time that someone forced her to see that the whiny brat needed to be weened from her boob long ago. He forced her to choose between Michael and herself. And the petulant PITA didn't help matters with his own entitled attiude. Perhaps she will stay in this vein... well hope springs eternal in that quarter!
As for Ben, I'm glad he told Michael that if he showed up in NY there would be nothing to fix in their relationship. Honestly, I think they are about 7 years too late to even try. Ben never should have gotten involved with someone who needed to be led through life in the first place. By the way, I am so PROUD of Ted, giving Michael the business straight-no chaser! Even if the Whimpering, Whiny Weenie-boy Wuss didn't listen, he can never said that he didn't know how Ted really felt. He heard it, even if his brain refused to process the words.
I really do hope that Mel and Lindsay move forward with plans to move to New York! Deb and Michael need to back off and go design their lives. Perhaps if they spend time trying to fix their own messed up existences, they will be too busy to fuck up the others.
Great Chapter and looking forward to MORE!
Happy Writing and HUGS,

WEll...this was a most interesting chapter! I mean WOW! So much happening here and so many possible repercussions.
So Michael inadvertantly over heard Brian and Mel. That was definitely not all good. At least not for him. At least he's in the know now. Adn boy o boy is he pissed! Naturally he goes running to mommy, who in turns takes it upon herself to say what everyone needs to do. They need to figure out that there's a difference between helping and interfereing. Michael is completely incapable of taking responsiblity for anything! I mean he's actually blaming Emmett for the whole fiasco!
Carl is a champ! Yowza! He certainly put Deb in her place. Let's hope that a starting off point for her to really face reality. That what she wants everyone to do doesn't matter. that their lives are just that...theirs and they need to do what's best fro them, not for everyone else.
Ben too was showing just how serious he was. Michael I really think believed him. He did turn teh car around. I'm a bit worried though. He's all concerned about Ben not leaving, that he "needs" Ben, but why does he? What's behind the need?
Brian telling things like they are to Michael was excellent! Loved it all. So many htings that needed to be said finally were. Brian was incredibly honest here and it was really breathtaking and brutal. Of course though, Michael doesn't listen, adn only hears what he wants to hear. and now.......he's off. Once agan, acting without thinking. Will it occur to him that Ben may not be there when he gets back?
the anticiaption on this one is going to be killer until the next update. An incredible chapter.
Cheers,
Elaine
