Great wrap up!That was a fantastic story, with its funny, family fluffy, creepy and bizarre moments. Thoroughly entertaining.  

Thanks for sharing your imagination and talent.

Wow! Well, Lindsay didn't kill her mother, but Nancy may wish she had if she ever regains consciousness. Both the lawyer and her father are throwing the Lindsay problem over the wall, back to Mel.  How nice for Mel.

Oh, Mikey, Mikey, Mikey.  Snort, it's not funny, giggle.  Really, it's not funny, Bwahahaha.  She bit off his ear, while he was waiting to hear that Brian, his bestest friend, maybe, possibly wanted to see him.  It could happen, right? Only in your delusional mind, Michael. ROFL

I found that hysterically funny and oh so righteous! Thank you. <BG>

Well, maybe Lindsay will achieve some fame after all (or should I say notoriety?), she'll be a case study for the BAU.

I feel sorry for the lawyer sent to help Lindsay, he doesn't know what he's walking in to.

And there's the root of Lindsay's problem right there...Nancy.  So conscious of what others are thinking or will think about her, she isn't even concerned about why in the world would Lindsay even lie about this. Sigh!

Michael's back and it looks like he bought a small clue!  I think Blake did a great job of explaining the facts of the Brian and Mikey Show to Michael.  Had to snicker regarding Michael's thought of contacting Dr. Alex. Poor guy!

And the tally of charges keep going up and Lindsay hasn't even left the police station.  Wonder what mommy and daddy will do to try and make this all go away and cover it up?

I'm glad that B/J and kids got away.  They all needed it.

Another stint in jail and is it possible...has Michael finally bought a clue?

I had to laugh at Lindsay wanting real gifts at her wedding this time around.  If she wasn't thinking of marrying Justin, I could sympathize with her remembering that fertility statue or whatever it was that Michael/Ted got her and Mel.

Justin was bound to do something that didn't fit in with her fantasy.  Now that has happened and so publicly, what will she do?

Poor Justin, you gotta empathize.  He has to curtail his life because Lindsay isn't capable of living in the real world.

LOL, I'm with Brian, run over the two of them at the same time, he's got insurance and any publicity  would probably help his art sales. <g>

I think Max is reading both Michael and Lindsay correctly.  Michael is in a waiting game, he has been for 2 decades and probably will be for the next 2, not so silently pining.  Like he deserves Brian for having waited all those years.

Drat! Too bad the police were too slow getting to Lindsay...it will happen, she can't help herself.

Giggle, I knew Michael would violate the restraining order, I just thought he would go to the house or Kinnetik.  Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Another great chapter, on to the next...

I get Brian's need to vent, but he has to remember this meeting with Lindsay was just a means to an end. He got custody Gus, mission accomplished. I'm sure Justin will know just what to do when Brian gets home.

The bitchfest between Michael and Lindsay was funny and Michael of all people to mention a restraining order was hysterical!

Wow, Lindsay is spiraling.

As always, excellent POV's from each character.  I could see Justin not wanting to believe it was that bad until Lindsay used Gus as a bargaining chip.  Gus doesn't matter to her anymore, only her fantasy has hold.  Wonder how she's going to react when she gets the restraining order?

I love the way the gang is rallying round B/J.

On to the next...

Lindsay's hamsters have bought real estate in NeverNeverland. How do you jump from supposed mentor to wannabe wife? I'm worried for both Brian and Justin.  Would she hurt Brian to get him out of the way and/or Justin because he's not falling in with her fantasy?

Well, at least she has no problem signing the paperwork to dissolve her marriage with Mel.  Maybe Mel can slide paperwork in there to sign over custody of Gus too?

Poor Ted, leave the office for two weeks and look what he's missed.  I agree with him to a certain extent, in just how far would Lindsay go to fulfill her fantasy.

Funny how Lindsay went to Brian first to talk about getting out of Justin's life, instead of speaking with Justin first.  Is there still a grain of the truth rattling around in her brain, that Justin would shut her down unless she can get Brian to leave first?  It looks like she's willing to barter custody of Gus to get what she wants.

Speeding on to the next chapter!

That whole conversation between B&J about the Oreos and the girls was made of win. And Brian's delivery of more cookies made me love Brian too.

I wonder if Michael will get arrested for violating the restraining order before or after the custody hearing?

I think I feel rather sorry for Michael's lawyer...no, not really.  The hearing should be a slam dunk for Mel.

I, too, wonder why Ben stayed so long, but now he can get on with the rest of his life and move forward.

I don't think Lindsay is just a budding stalker anymore, not with the internal monologue she just had in her head. 

Gus' perspective on Lindsay's visits as being drive by or like a drive thru is spot on, if a little sad.  Although truthfully, the less time he spends around her the better.

Great chapter!

I didn't realize that E was tasteless. I was wondering why Ben went with it willingly.  Wow, I think he has every reason to be royally pissed -- the potential risk to his health, not to mention his job, Mikey's lies, attitude regarding JR, and Mikey is more concerned about having to face Mel!  I'm glad Ben didn't let this slide.  I hope this is the wake up call required to get Michael out of his life. It could only be to his benefit.

Michael's been rooting through the loft and B/J don't know?   Ewwww.

Lol, Lindsay keeps showing clearly why she couldn't effectively manage the gallery, the poor dear.Lovely how Brian is taking care of Deb and Carl. How wonderful that they are going to Hawaii.

That was a good conversation between Justin and Mel.  If all Lindsay can talk about in their counseling sessions is Justin's career, I think the marriage is a partnership of one.  I mean, how do you work with that?  Actually, I'm kind of surprised that the counselor isn't recommending a different type of therapy for Lindsay...

Loved the Yoda comments!

Michael called Ben a drama queen? That's adding insult to injury. 

Justin strikes again with the perfect response to Michael. Lol.

Great chapter!

When are Mel and Lindsay finally going to end it.  I don't think counseling at this late date is going to be of benefit, especially when one of the partners is a budding stalker and neither recognizes it. 

Michael, drop in dad extrordinaire.  I'd feel sorry for JR (I hate that moniker, it always makes me think of junior or JR Ewing - and for anyone not in the know, there was this evening soap opera in the latter half of the prior century called Dallas, this character was an oil magnate, who was an asshole and eventually got shot) except that the less exposure she has to him has to be better for her.

I'm disappointed that Ben didn't and continues not to see through Michael's machinations.  Or maybe he doesn't want to see?

Ted is so gaga over Austin, I'm glad.

The drop in dad is suing for custody and he thinks B/J will support him. He really has gone to NeverNeverland. He should buy real estate and stay there.

That Lyndsay feels she can horn in everywhere in Justin's life is appalling.  Glad she got no satisfaction from Reed and it's a good thing Justin and Peter talked about what the true boundaries should be regarding Lynsday.

Where is JR? Drop in dad strikes again and this is going to help his custody hearing how? What a moron.

Great chapter.

I think I mentioned before how much I like the different POV's.  You do them so very well.

Michael is going off the deep end because Brian doesn't want to come out and play with him.  I don't blame Ben for being pissed (although what he ever saw in Michael is beyond my ken).

Lindsay is in full angst mode because no one sees the value of her opinion and won't listen to her.  Why she keeps showing up to take care of the girls, when she can't even manage JR & Gus...just who does she think she's kidding? Certainly not B/J.

I like getting the glimpses of B/J day to day banter in their relationship as lovers, partners and fathers. And I think its great that Ted/Blake and Emmett/Calvin are evolving right along with them and have remained good friends.  

The conversation or should I say confrontation between Brian and Michael, is a perfect example of how selective Michael's hearing is.  After everything Brian said, Michael's response is that Brian is cranky. smh

Lol, I loved the conversation between Jen, Justin and Brian.  Very apropos!
