What makes you say that?
Obviously he cheated on Brian with Ethan, but after that? Not sure I can follow...

Brian should have remembered, Justin isn't the munchers or Michael, he wouldn't have done that to his child. Brian is still in the wrong here, the biggest wrong in the world, and trying to guilt Justin into "oh this is all about Luke"...well what about this Mr Kinney, if you hadn't lied about your son from the get go your son would have had two great parents to love him. Justin is a painter he can paint anywhere, that bullshit of you had to be in New York is just that. Fans have already blown that theory out of the water, New York isn't the 50's or 60's, it's a whole new market, painters paint in Montana and Alaska now days.
Author's Response:
And still the Justin who said that New York was not the dream of his life, but that Brian was his dream come true, cancelled his wedding with Brian and decided to move to New York...
Apparently at that point he agreed about having to be in New York as well :/ And we all know about Brian's cliffs and how he feels once he gets the feeling that people are sacrificing anything for him :(

Strange kind of greeting from Carl. Couldn’t he be a little more friendly?
Still, there are this two sides of Brian. On one hand he seems cold and as you wrote “businesslike”, but on the other and he seems to feel guilty and miserable and in my opinion everything he does screams love, and I don’t think it’s just the love for Luke.
I feel so damned sorry for Justin. He’s the most miserable one this situation. One can’t blame Justin for not staying calm. Who could stay calm in this situation? And I also totally understand his anger but I think here he has a wrong idea of Brian. Maybe I’m too romantic, but I think Brian saw Luke as was he was: he came from their love. And I think he didn’t cursed Justin for getting pregnant but being grateful to still have some part of their love and of Justin. I think he really didn’t believed that Justin would come home someday.
Is there really no other reason? With the sentence “and for what?” you made it clear that Brian in his sometimes twisted mind and from what he had learned as a child apparently really thought to do what’s best for Justin. We know already some of his cliffs. Nevertheless, in this situation was also another human being involved and there could, should, would have been a better solution.
Justin reacts so mature, thinking what’s best for Luke, putting aside his anger and hurt for the moment.
Great story! Warmest regards!
Author's Response:
Brian and love? Hmmmm... we'll see, we'll see ;) Could our big bad still have feelings or his Sunshine?
What Brian did, he did because he truly thought he was doing the best for Justin. Was he wrong? Definitely! But still in his mind he was doing the right thing and only had good intentions. He never kept Luke a secret to willfully hurt Justin or betray him.
He's seeing now how wrong he has obviously been in that assessment :(

I totally understand Justin's anger. I still think there is another reason behind Brian keeping Luke from Justin. There has to be!
Thanks for the update.

Right now Brian is exactly the kind of guy i hate the most. When you screw up the last think you could do is tell the truth and ask for forgiveness.
The agreement was the perfect occasion to be honest with Justin especialy when Justin say "why".
Brian wasn't "generous" with that agreement because he want the best for their son but because of his guilty felling. otherwise Justin would have know the existence of his son long time ago.
it's so simple he screw up by not telling Justin he was pregnant and the time he realise it, it was already too late. too many years have already past.
And now with his fuck up, twisted, manipulative head he try to put the blame on Justin with "that was about your best interest" and put his trump card "the caring father" to blast Justin mind away AND IT'S WORK.
GOD this is just to much for me. is Justin really that stupid to blame himself? WHAT THE FUCK
Author's Response:
I honestly don't think Brian is trying to blame Justin for anything... He knows what he did and that what he did was wrong which is why he's feeling so guilty. Of course that won't make it any easier for them to move on :(
As for Justin - poor guy should be given some credit here. I am sure once he actually gets a chance to be a father to his son, he'll find back to his old strength :)

Tough love between these two! I can't wait to read about the first real meeting between Justin and Luke.
Author's Response:
That will be coming soon :) Really soon! And it's about time. I've put poor Justin through enough pain to last him a lifetime!

"Brian had kept his focus just there, on the well-being of his child..."
No, Brian didn't keep his focus on Luke - he kept the focus *off* of his betrayal of Justin and his own cowardice and manipulation.
"What had he done? Damn... no wonder no one had wanted him around his kid... "
I'm floored. Don't even know what to say about this kind of thought. Now Justin is swallowing the guilt of others, taking it in as though he was the one who hid a son from someone for years? I could understand if Justin was chastising himself for not focusing Luke *now*, but to plainly state that his own behavior is some kind of valid reason for Brian betraying him? Again, I'm floored. I remember a tale my granny or someone told me years ago about a sect of untouchables in Appalachia, where I'm from. They were called the 'sin eaters'. By eating food off the bodies of the dead, they would ritually absorb their sins, taking them upon their own souls, to absolve the dead and allow them into heaven. They condemned themselves to hell in return for food because they were starving. That's pretty much what Justin is doing here. He's absorbing Brian's betrayal, making it his own fault, and in the process giving Brian a pass out of a hell of his own creation.
Author's Response:
At the moment, after everything that has happened, poor Justin is feeling really insecure and pain and hurt can cloud one's own judgement. Lets hope he'll find himself again once he gets to actually be a father to his son :(
More will be up soon!

I'm sorry but everything Brian said was utter BS!!!
He is comparing this situation with Justin to his situation with the girls which isn't even remotely the same, Justin wanted marriage, family and his career, while Brian mocked him for wanting to be like the heteros for even wanting that dream.
I this chapter it still seems like Brian is m excuse and Justin is made to feel he is too young to be pissed off that everyone lied to him for five years.
It just seems like hate is the basis for why Justin is getting dumped on and everyone else is trying to protect Brian.
Author's Response:
I think deep down Brian really thought that what he was doing was the best thing for Justin. I am sure he had good intentions, but as we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions and he obviously made the wrong choice :(

Ok, so now Brian wants to do what is best for HIS son. And what is he going to tell about Justin? Or was telling for 5 years. That his other dads carier was more important? That he decieded that Justin is not important to tell him about son? In this situation one of then can easily became the ‘bad dad’... really want Brians POV. Brian has kept the focus on the child? Or playing Justin not to be the guilty one? For sure Brian doesn’t love Justin...
Author's Response:
We'll find out very soon what Luke has been told about the whole situation. After all he knew Justin and refered to him as "Papa" when Justin saw him for the first time. So he knows who Justin is and there must have been an explanation given to him as to why his Papa was never around...
More will be revealed very soon!
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate :)

That can’t be the only reason Brian did what he did. Can it? Just because he wanted to give Justin a chance at a career? It seems like there’s got to be more to it... TAG

Author's Response:
Can it? We'll see... It wouldn't be the first time Brian threw Justin off one of his Kinney cliffs, because he thought he was doing what was "best" for Justin.
I am sure that deep down Brian was well-intentioned, but once again miscalculated how different Justin is from him :(
But we'll see - more will be up soon!

Brian's excuse was lame. Justin should have been allowed to make his decision.
Brian's reason for not fighting the custody agreement is sound. Luke shouldn't suffer because of his stupidity.
Glad Justin decided to put his hurt and anger aside for now. Enough time for that later. Funny how after five years he's still able to read Brian's body.
Author's Response:
Yes, Justin should have been involved in the decision making, but it's not the first time Brian made decisions for Justin and threw him off his Kinney cliffs, thinking he was doing what was best for Justin. Will he ever learn that Justin is his own man and smart enough to make his own decisions?
In the end, the whole situation with Justin aside, Brian is a good father and loves his sons. He knows he messed up, but he won't let Luke suffer because of that.
Yeah, lets hope that anger and pain aside, they can focus on what really matters: Luke and his well-being!

Well I wish I could say this was a good chapter, but I can't. I am such a Brian girl, but I really dislike him in this story. It just seemed like Justin was made to be the bad guy here. How can a career that may or may not happened be more important than a family? They've implied that Justin was too young to be trapped with a kid, but I think his age was in his favor. He had plenty of time to raise a family and still have his career. And also what is it with constantly referring to Luke as his son, meaning Brian, and not ours. I have so much I want to say about this chapter, but it just made me so angry. Please don't take any of my ranting wrong, I love stories that make me think and angry. They're the best kind.
Author's Response:
Haha, don't worry - everyone is entitled to their own views on characters and storylines :)
Justin is definitely not the bad guy - he's the innocent party in all of this along with Luke. If anyone is the bad guy, it's Brian. Then again, he was probably only trying do what he thought was best for Justin. Just like he has always done, even if it was at his own cost. It wouldn't be the first time Brian's so-called "good intentions" backfired :/
To be honest, I feel bad for all of them - Brian included. We know he never did well with feelings and emotions and it's not his fault. Maybe we can blame all this on Jack and Joan and give Brian a hug as well? :)
More will be up soon - hope it won't make you too angry ;)

Five years lost. Would Justin have regretted not being in New York. I think not. Justin wasn't as career oriented as Brian.
Author's Response:
No, Justin never was, but did Brian see that? Or was Brian just projecting his own goals onto Justin's life? Hmmm....
I think Justin wouldn't have missed much about New York and would have been happy to return to a pregnant Brian and build a family with him... But we'll never know, unfortunately :(
