okay, wait a minute, one minute Justin is freaking out that he can't stay with the boys at Britin because it means to much to him and then less than a week later their all "hey he's moving in"...what happened to Justin's anxiety about the home that represented his future to him.  

Hi! Hm, yes, interesting chapter... I have to admit, I expected something like that. So, Brian's suggestion wasn't much of a surprise. And for me, it means, they are moving in the right direction... because, I want to see them together at some point, and not as friends! :-) But I think, this is a very difficult situation. It can only work if they either have no feelings for each other or both have them. If only one of them feels something for the other, I think sooner or later there would be trouble and pain. At the latest if another man would play a role. But we know that they both still feel something for each other. :-) So, great step in the right direction. There will be time for them without the kids. In the morning, in the evening when the kids are sleeping, at night when they can't sleep :-) to talk... to see changes about the other one... to whatever...

I do not know why, but nevertheless, Brian's behavior or his motives made me suspicious or let's say, he confuses me. He said, "he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask Justin to move back in with him" - but he is stupid enough to suggests this in front of the kids? It seems as if he thought about this suggestion since he heard about the house-hunting. He had had time to think it through. And then he asks this important question in front of the kids? Maybe he also wants to have Justin around and he just knew that Justin couldn't say no in front of the kids... On the other hand, it seems that he really didn't think much of it, because at first, he doesn't even understand why Justin is so upset. The studio... I mentioned it before in one of my reviews... I expected this! And I think it's clear, that Brian set this studio up after he knew about his pregnancy and also after he ended his relationship with Justin. According to "the Pittsburgh Years", in the beginning he still lives at his loft (or he could had done this in the first three month, but I don't think so). I've also already written about it. Brian really seems to live in two worlds. On one hand, he has ended the relationship with Justin and their life together and has now really understood how much he has destroyed a immediate common future. On the other hand, he hoped for more, set Britin up as if Justin would one day come back and they just keepgoing on where they left off. He set up a studio for him, he put a joint photo on the bedside table for Luke, he always integrated Justin into the family. It's just so sad... And I still think it's time for Brian to act a little bit more, to start to fight a little bit...

I wonder how Justin will behave and feel by living at Britin. He didn't want to stay there for three days when Brian went to Chicago because he said it would be too painful to be there because of their shared memories. Now, he decides to live there!!! So, I'm very curious about that and also about what happens with the family-drawing... Warmest regards!!!

Brian seems to make a habit of not thinking things through.  He needs to tell Luke and Gus, not to mention Justin why he kept his pregnancy a secret.  Then Justin can smack him for being stupid.

Baby steps forward, but better than no steps at all.  Great chapter.
