Summary:

Two years after Justin leaves, Brian decides that living apart isn't what he wants. He makes his move to be together. What if that happens along with an offer from a friend to have a baby.

Lorie thank you for doing what you do for me as my beta, the readers probably thank you too.

Awww, I love Dad Brian, he's so protective.  As always nicely done.  I love spending my time reading your words!

Summary: Feature

What happens when Justin's need for food, Brian's need for something (but he doesn't know what) and Michael's need for attention clash...

This is a co-author fic with Bea Johnson, who suggested the idea.  She, Nichelle Wellesly and Kathy Hearns are my awesome betas.  Thanks ladies!

Oh, this cute and funny.  I like Slick, she's stark.  I wonder if she has a fem girlfriend?

Brian as savior can be fun and I'm looking forward to the kaboom fallout.

Why Deb you saucy one!  Very cute date for Deb and Horvath.

Micheal is thick but it seems people are shooting pretty straight, he'll get it even if only by repetition.

Poor Mikey, yet another huge clue, you know nothing of your "best friend'" life.  Perhaps best is overstating it a tad.  Watch out for glass doors, you're dingy enough to walk in to one.

Too bad she's not Lesbian with a name like Slick imagine how popular she'd be, in a positive life affirming sort of way, lol.

Well that's done and done.  Can't believe Michael would say such a thing.  And Lindsay was warned to act proper, now look. 

Summary:

Justin meets Brian at a show and walks away with a present.

Lorie, thanks for continuing to be my beta.

Brandon is clearly a nut, but is he the stalker??? I don't know, lol.  I'm thinking there's two people, but and I don't know. Mikey keeps ending up where he shouldn't be.  I wonder if someone is using him to throw off suspicion? 

Cant wait for more!

Awww, that was so sweet!  I really liked the ending cuz it was angst you for a while.  In the end everyone got what they deserved especially Brisn and Justin -- happily ever after.

Mikey as Tina Turner, lol.

Oops, Mikey got slammed in the head with truth and it took Deb out too. I loved when Deb used a handjob in highschool as an example to adults.  That kind of logic could mean picking a dead husband out of the paper is fine. seriously, as a mom it's a huge deficit to lie about dear old hero dad, and it's tacky.  Mikey is full blown crazy now, crazy for Ben, poor guy.

My poor stressed pregnant kidnapped hair cut and dyed Justin.

Yep, time to deal with Mel.  Once all of this is handled Brian and Justin can go back to slowly getting to know each other and enjoying their new baby.  What a crash course ifpn love, so much drama. I love it!!!

Carl, lets rough him up and make him talk, lol.  Ok,  so Sam took Justin and Brandin took Justin from Sam and Mikey would have but didn't get the chance?  Simple? Nope, but perfect.  I am also counting myself as right because I had everyone as a suspect, lol.

I'd  like to hear the why.  Then perhaps Brian and Justin can relax and have Bella.

Ohhhhh no, Ma has found proof of Mikey's crazy!  I wonder how she will react? She seems to miss Mikey's bad points.  

This is all too stressful for Justin and little Bella (lol).  Perhaps Brandon and Mikey will work together and split the couple with Brandon getting the blond he onesies about and Mikey his brunette? Then again Linds is a suspect, again. 

We'll see... :)

Still my top suspect - Mikey.  He never had Justin to have him stolen from him; he was in NYC and sort of caught; and I think he ransacked his apartment to throw off suspicion.

Im thinking Brandon is a red herring but he may just be the bad guy. If he isn't then he's just a big groupie and wants out Justin. 

Have I listed Cameron? He's bossy and wouldn't share.

I wonder where Lindsay is? Frankly, I think it's Sam.  He's creepy and narcissistic.

Finally, I want to know what Justin ate at the ice cream parlor.  45 mins in an ice cream place, I bet he had a brownie, lol.

I think I've listed most every character as a suspect.  I'm leaning toward split personality Mikey.  

Sam knew he was breaking the law and Lindsay as usual doesn't care.  What a mess!  I love it

I love it, I have no clue what's going on.  Seriously, I trying to find the bad guy and each time I'm sure it changes.  

I loved when they laughed about Mikey and keeping things.  The Capn Astro jacket is hysterical.

As usual this fic zigs when I expect a zag.  I was ready with my new list of suspects and here you are with the answer and yet another problem.   It's fantastic!

Justin is so cute.  His bravado with Lindsay and his willingness to face the stalker rock.  I even like that he likes Ted but finds Mikey icky.  Brian is strong and protective which is uber sexy and sweet. Cameron being in there us perfect for fueling out Rage, the more he protects Justin and baby Bella the more he loves them.  

You should be very pleased with the flow and the building and layering of suspense.

Oh, they're in love! How fun! Jealous bossy Brian is adorable.  Justin is shocked and moved even as he wants to stay tough.  Love is ia good thing because with a stalker in the loose, who knows.

Mikey poor beaten up Mikey.  I wonder if it is a girl cuz a guy beating up Mikey us unfair.  

I loved Justin's questioning.  He was such a toughly about it.  Telling Deb that if they had minded their business they'd be fine was fantastic.

New suspects added 1) Jen cuz her beating up Mikey is hysterical 2) Daphne cuz it would be just as funny. 3) Sam cuz he's a creep and Lindsay would flip

Ooo,Ooo, a new story and its Mpreg - I love it!!!

Here we have poor little successful rich and impulsive Justin meeting so far  our Sex god of mystery, Brian. I love it!! And Lindsay with Sam means she's likely a disaster, lol. 

I can't wait for more.

I love cocky Justin! He's already liking the Kinney vibe, yay.  Ted definitely between Mikey and Ted -- he is a cutie.

Mom's hooking up their children is always hysterical.

Well, that's jumping in with both feet! Brian is in pregnant Justin's room, and Mikey is trying to date Justin.  What a mess.  Brian's in love and it's a mess.  I can't wait for more!

So much for hiding the relationship.  Seriously, Mikey should have paid attention they had already met.  And trashing your best friend is a terrible way to start a relationship.  Frankly, Emmett is ticking me off too.  If Brian is so bad then leave him alone.

Judging from the kiss Justin is squarely on Brian's side.

He called their moms? Who does that?  Mikey you will never get Justin this way.  And planning an orgy is just wrong.  Brian has self control even if you don't believe that.

As for Jen and Deb, wow, I hope they see the light and cut the cord. Brian was right to threaten Deb.  Jen needs to listen to Justin she has no say in his partners. Emmett better wise up! 

I love that Justin is bitchy.  I love that he yelled at them and put them out.  Brian seems to know what he wants and Justin is it.

Well, damn! Mikey got dumped literally and Craig's girl could be a goner.  This person is a problem.

Oh, when it's true you just know, Ted and Blake too cute!! Protective Brian is a doll!

My official suspect list 1) Mikey split personality 2) OMC 3) Lindsay bat sh$t crazy in drag.

Loved the Justin, Terry, and Brian meeting.  It's funny to see the differences in approach.  I also loved the way Brian checked Terry and Terry defended himself.  They both seem like honest men who care for Justin.

Emmeett has gotten wiser, and the Novotny's are getting dumber.
