Wonderful chapter. Finally good new and happiness. Hope it stays that way. Love this story so much. It makes me smile or cry at times, but it is amazing. Fantastic writing. Hope you are ok.
Author's Response:
I think at this point we can all do with some happiness and good news, so I'll try to do my best :)
Awww, thanks! I am glad you like the story so much. It means the world to me when people like all those silly ideas I put out there :)
I really appreciate all your comments. More will be up tomorrow!
I am well, thanks. I live in Ireland and we're under complete lockdown and have been for three weeks now. It has just been extended to May 5th, so we'll see. I miss my friends and family, but thankfully there's Skype and the likes. At least I am healthy, so that's worth a lot!
Stay safe!

Great reunion of the family: even with Daphne, Ben and Hunter. That was a very good idea to have them for the princess arrival.

Hi,
I really what you have done in this story. I feel really bad for Brian and the family. I was so happy when he got pregnant with his second child with Justin. I'm so glad that Justin got to experince being there for Brian this time. I'm still sad that Justin can't have any children. I love the relationship the boys have with Brian and Justin. I love how Gus was with Justin anyd that he can draw like Justin. I love Luke he is cute and attached to his daddy. I hope that Brian gets better. I hope Michael and Linsay don't come back to cause trouble. I hope they don't find out he has Cancer. I hope gets the all clear with doctors. Please post more soon!!

I am glad that you like the story :)
I love how the relationships between everyone in the family have developed from the previous stories. They are a unit now and there is a lot of love. Brian and Justin have grown so much and were ready to try for another baby, Gus and Luke who are each so attached to their fathers and love them so much, Brian and Justin who love their boys so much and now there is also Vicky to love. No, it wasn't all perfect, especially with Brian getting sick like that, but in the end, I am sure they will be fine :)
As for Michael and Lindsey... Hmmm.... My lips are sealed ;)

Such a traumatic time for everyone in this family all for different reasons. But they have two things in common 1) they have all been terrified and are still scared about Brian's illness 2) however they all love so fiercely and that includes Vicky now.
Author's Response:
Yes, and I felt it was really important to show the different sides of how everyone is suffering from each family member's perspective. We've seen Brian's fear, Justin's fear and exhaustion and it was important to also see how Gus and Luke were doing and feeling and how they feel about their little sister.
Thanks for your comment. More will be up soon :)

Another beautiful moment between father and son! What is great with kids is that they say what they think/feel without filters. Brian needed to hear what Luke was feeling.
Luke's question about Brian's hair was very interesting as for him, hair means normalcy, not health as adults might think.
Author's Response:
After Gus and Justin had their moment, I felt like Luke and Brian deserved one as well. I am glad you liked it :)
I love children and how unfiltered they are. I adore their honesty and it's too bad that once they grow up they forget about it. We could learn so much from children!

Beautiful moment with Gus as the big protecting brother. He was also very nice to let Luke hold her sister first. Great family. Knowing Brian's treatments are finished, life will start resuming its normal way.

Art is something Justin and Gus have in common.

Yes, and it's something they have bonded over ever since Justin has been back. It's their thing :)

Just to let you know, I have been reading this again. Well, more like skimming to ensure not too bad. As you know you are one of my fave authors!
Also need to shout out to Hotesse, who works in labs testing for the current virus and still updates her story!
All you authors are, as Auntie Em would say, FABULOUS!!! To keep us all going and to provide a distraction in this shitty world!!!

Great chapter. Finally they got to hold Vicky. Could just picture it thinking of the series and Brian holding Gus when he was born. FANTASTIC writing. Hope all is well with you during this virus situation.
Author's Response:
I am glad that you liked the chapter :) It was time for some good news and hopefully there will be more good news from now on :)
So far I am fine. I am in Ireland and the country is pretty much on lockdown. Schools, bars, restaurants, etc, everything is closed and only grocery stores, pharmacies and drug stores are still open. I've been working from home for more than a week now and mostly it's just very boring, but well... That's a small price to pay!
Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you for this beautiful chapter: this was long overdue for the longing and desperate fathers. I hope she will continue to improve so her brothers could finally meet her.

Beautiful chapter: first of all because Justin was able to discuss with Gus and it was really time that someone saw/heard how much in pain he was/is and then because Gus has been able to see that his father loved him from day 1, despite everything Gus must have heard from his mothers and from the gang. It's something that must have done a deep damage in the young boy.

I just love the relationship between Justin and Gus, them bonding over their common interest in art and them being able to talk about things that Gus knows Brian might be uncomfortable with.
I also wanted to show the effects that everything going on has on the boys and how it makes them wonder about other things as well. Especially Gus, who at 14 is now a teenager, looking for answers.

Hi there! Oh, you‘re killing me here... They all can‘t seem to catch a break! So painful... I really suffered with Brian, asked myself why isn't Justin calling and got really nervous. And really, Justin? The battery died? I mean, there are other ways to call from a hospital than your own cell phone ... Hm, but that's just a small detail... And I totally agree with Brian... „They all deserved a break" Hopefully things are going better now! Warmest regards!
Author's Response:
Me? What, no? I wouldn't dare ;)
Well, Justin was woken up in the middle of the night and immediately rushed to the hospital. He didn't get enough sleep, was worried about his baby - clearly not thinking straight, poor guy! We shouldn't be too hard on him ;)
At least it looks like Vicky will be alright and I agree with you: They all deserve a break! Hopefully they will get it soon...

Whoa! They really have a very disturbed and emotional life! What a nightmare for both of them: such a roller-coaster! Poor baby: I hope she is not suffering too much and that there won't be lasting effect on her brain / health.
The only good news is that they should be able to finally hold her.

At least he's not closing out Justin and allows him to help in whatever way he can.

Hi there! Well, my son was sicker than we first thought. After a week of fever, he even had to take antibiotics, but he will go back to school next Monday!
Again, I‘m behind with my reviews... That was a real beautiful chapter. I really thought there would be a bigger discussion between them, but of course, on one hand Brian had time to think a little bit about everything and on the other hand, he isn‘t the old Brian anymore, he‘s matured and wiser. Beautiful, how you let them handle such things! Warmest regards!
Author's Response:
Oh God, poor boy. It's good to know that he's better now and things will go back to normal soon. I am glad to hear it :)
No, he isn't the old Brian anymore and being sick has also taught him the important lesson of not wasting what little energy he has. As you mentioned, he had time to think about Justin's reasons, he had time to think about his own behaviour and knowing how he has matured and changed over the years, he knew that a big fight would have been a waste of energy, especially since he played his own part in making Justin act the way he did.
They have both grown up and especially Brian has changed into a more reasonable, mature man. Good for him :)

Wonderful chapter you tackled the awful milestone of hair loss from chemo so sensitively. We know it would freak Brian out but you had Justin reassure him that his hair is not who Brian is to Justina Nd his children. Great chapter thank you
Author's Response:
Thank you!
Unfortunately, I had to see my grandmother go through that and I was with her the day the hair loss started and will never forget her reaction. She had been prepared for it, had been to wig fittings in the weeks before, but when it really happened, nothing could have prepared her for that :(
