I have enjoyed these stories immensely. I am just wondering why is Ron Petersen paying for Michael. It is one thing to put out so much money for your own child, but why for someone that is not even related to you. And you know Michael will never pay anything back.



Author's Response:

Thank you glad you're enjoying it.  Oh but he is going to make him pay him back...he's going to be the janitor...or homeless

Oh please don't let that poor baby sleep with Ethan. Not because of Brian but because Ethan is a horrible person.



Author's Response:

Ethan is pretty despicable in this story at least. We'll just have to wait and see what happens to Reece. Thank you so much for reviewing.

Summary:

Justin is tired of the games Lindsay and Michael play to tear him and Brian apart. What happens when Justin discovers he's pregnant? Just how far will Lindsay and Michael go to get rid of Brian's true love? Will they succeed or fail?

Did Debbie just leave Justin out when she named her other sons or was it just a mistake? Because if she can't accept Justin as one of her sons, there's going to be problems.

Summary:

 

Brian and Justin had a drunken weekend of debauchery and both ended up pregnant with daughters, but only found out too late to do anything about it. Fourteen years later fate and the Avenue conspire to bring them back together.

I love your stories. Anyway, I wasn't surprised by Michael being Jenny's father. She seems to be the only child he likes. My theory is that the person who keeps calling Michael, is the one who either knows about or who is the one who helped switch the sperm sample. I can kind of figure out why Michael did it, but I haven't quite figured out what is in it for Lindsey. We know that Lindsay has always been greedy, but what would she gain by this? What they did would be illegal, I would think and it could cost her her marriage. Another thing I'm confused about is why have they not confronted Michael? I know they have messed around with his bank account, but I would have wanted to hurt him for what he said about my child. I know they wanted to deal with Lindsay and the money, but Brian is a millionaire and I don't think he was really missing  the $16,0000 or $30,000. Anyway, I love, love,love your stories. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Summary:

Brian told Justin to get some friends his age – what if the kiss Michael saw was misconstrued? What if miscommunication was only the start of it all? Just how far does the butterfly effect go?

I'm going to start off by saying, I love your story. Me and my Mother have some of the most heated debates after each chapter. I'm more sympathetic towards Brian and my Mother is a total Justin girl. While I believe this story leans towards being a bashing Brian story. I understand he is to blame for a lot of Justin's problems, but when is everyone else Justin included going to start taking some of the blame. I feel the way this chapter ended that Alex was maybe headed to confront someone, probably Brian. If that's the case then Alex needs to stop being Brian's therapist, because I feel that would unethical. He probably doesn't need to be both of their therapist anyway. I also think Brian is in a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation. If he stays around he is going to be emotionally trashed for everything wrong in Justin's world. But if he goes and leaves Justin alone, it will just prove everything Justin said is true, Brian never cared about him. Once again don't think I dislike your story, because I don't, I love it. It makes me think and I love stories that do that. I looking forward to your next chapter.



Author's Response:

Believe me, this isn't headed towards a Brian bashing. What happened between Brian and Justin was ugly, but the "blame" lays elsewhere. Justin isn't without fault in this, and at this point, he is still blind to what is happening around him. His eyes will be opened sooner than you think.  ;)  And I'm glad this fic makes you think - that's all I have ever wanted when I write a story, is that it makes people feel and think, so if you are doing that when you read, then I am doing what I set out to do. And the fact that you and your Mum are debating this makes me grin. So thanks, hon, I appreciate your honesty. xx

OK, I don't know what to say. I've missed this story and I'm glad your back, but this chapter was fucked up. This started out as Michael semi taking some blame for what he did to Justin and Brian, even though it still seemed as more for Brian's benefit than Justin's. Then the next thing you know, it's Michael talking as if he knows Justin better than Brian. Then talking about Brian or Justin having a daddy kink and than acting as if he is superior to Brian because of how he treated Justin. I'm sorry but I still think someone wishing you were dead, is worse than any thing Brian or anyone else did. Your story always makes me cry, but this time I think it was more from frustration at how it ended then anything else. Can't wait for the next chapter.

P.S. I'm glad your back and that your Mom is doing better.



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you picked up on this because Michael was way out of line here. Remember when I said in your last review that Justin would soon start to open his eyes? This chapter is the reason why. Michael thinking he knows everything, when he is in fact, ignorant to what is real. xx

Summary:

Sequel to "Filled Silence" set in the Post-Stockwell Era, Brian and Justin makes some decisions that will redefine their definition of the word 'relationship'. Although inspired by the concepts within "The Experiment" by Wren and "The Dare" by Edom, it's my take on what should have happened in the series. ENJOY!!!

To the Wonderful and Talented Lorie Austin, Thanks for being my beta, but most of all, my friend. I couldn't do what I do without you.

Thank you for your response. I believe I better understand your point of view. I still don't agree, but I appreciate it none the less. I know many people will consider me a horrible person, but it is just how I personally feel. My views on this is so strong that that reading everything up to the Mel and Harry part, I literally felt nauseous. I've never disliked Vic more than I did in this chapter. Anyway I really love your stories, sometimes I just get a little too into them. Thanks again for your response.

Ok, I'm going to start off by saying I love all your stories, so please don't take this the wrong way. But WTF, I know I'm must be a horrible person, but why why must they forgive Debbie. What she willingly did to Brian and Justin for the sake of her horrible son and herself is unforgivable. And what does Emmet and all of the others have to be forgiven for? All they have to forgive themselves for is that they trusted Debbie and Michael to begin with. And also why after Debbie reverted to her true self did Emmett have to apologize to her for walking out? I'm thoroughly confused. But the last section between Mel and Harry was very interesting, I can't wait to hear more about that. I can't wait for the next chapter.



Author's Response:

 

Hey Regina,

Let me just qualify what Vic was saying here about forgiveness. One thing I've learned about the act of forgiveness is that you can forgive a person, but still have nothing major to do with them and their lives. It doesn't mean absolution, which is really the act of freeing a person from blame or guilt. "Forgiveness is for YOU, not them" means just that. It is a choice of whether you choose to grow and learn from the experience, or remain stuck and continue to be hurt by it. And I don't know about you, but I absolutely REFUSE to let someone cause me to dwell on them well past the incident(s). 

 

By not forgiving those who hurt you in life, they keep power over you- both mentally and spiritually. They have an emotional hold over you where if they walk into a room, your mood instantly changes causing a physical reaction often manifested in a frown, snarky comments or displaying 'attitude' as we know it. It takes far more effort to forgive and move on with your life- either with them or without them in it- than it does to stay mad, but it also shows your character as a person. It is intergral in keeping the integrity of the core person you are, or are growing to be. That is why the act of forgiveness is so important. It's so that you can be a whole person, not just a shell of one through the careless and thoughtless actions of others. 

Thank you so much for your rant (LOL) and giving me a chance to explain this point of view a bit further.

HAPPY READING AND HUGS,

~Nichelle

I'm kind of disappointed, I thought we were getting to the big smackdown this chapter. Oh well, I can't wait to the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Hey Regina,

We are actually at the very beginning of the smackdowns. There's no way I could jump right into it without setting the scenes for you. Doing anything less than what I've done here would have taken you 'out of the story' and made it feel rushed. My motto and mission is always going to be to provide a quality story, so I couldn't speed through it.

The thing is that if I put everything (what's here already and what I have yet to write/post) into one chapter, the word count would have been anywhere between 15-20K, at the very least. And although it's nothing for me to write that much in a normal sitting, I'm still not in a position to do that yet. Believe it or not, it will take quite a bit of conditioning for me to get there again, especially since I usually like to do those types of long chapters in a day or two at the most with minimal breaks in between. That's about the standard length of a novelette.

But rest assured, next chapter somebody is getting SMACKED! LOL I promise it will be worth every ounce of the anticipation you're feeling right now.

 

Happy Reading and HUGS,

~Nichelle

Summary:

I first want to say, I love your story. But after reading other reviews, I'm wondering if I was reading a different story. How could anyone think Jennifer is such a great person. She put all the blame on Brian as if she's has no blame what so ever. She got to be Grandma but doesn't seem to care that Justin wasn't allowed to be a Dad. And the fact she can compare any little problem she and Justin had with him growing up, to what she's doing now. It is deplorable. I know we will find out more backstory as the story continues, but right now the only victim here is Justin. I not including the children. I hope you write Justin with a backbone, because he needs to knock these people off their high and mighty pedestals. I can't wait for the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your comment and I am glad you enjoy this little craziness my fantasy has come up with ;)

 

I totally get you, I am a bit surprised by all the sudden love for Jennifer as well. When I was writing this, I still felt Justin's pain and hurt over her betrayal and can't say that I felt much love for her. It will take a long time for Justin to forgive her, if he can at all.

Their upcoming conversation in the next chapter will be intense and very emotional and we'll finally get some insight into her and Brian's reasons for not letting Justin know about Luke.

I think I gave Justin a backbone, but you'll have to be the judge of that when you read the upcoming chapters :)

Justin is screwed. This is still all being dictated by Brian. How is Debbie's home neutral ground, she betrayed him too? I know Justin is shocked and upset, but when is he growing some balls? And Ted would do good to stay away from me. He would never step foot in my home again, thinking he could threaten me. He is just another so called family member that betrayed him. And I would definitely not show up without a lawyer to this meeting. Brian has all his supporters around him and Justin only has two. Please tell me that Daphne did not know about all this stuff with Brian and Justin's son. I love this story, but I want to scream right now.

P.S. I'm so upset with Ted and Brian right now that I couldn't even get into any questions concerning Michael and the girls.



Author's Response:

I think we have to cut Justin some slack here - he found out that he has a 5 year old son that his mother and former fiance have kept from him less than 12 hours ago. Poor guy is entitled to some time to regroup and figure out how he wants to handle everything.

Interesting comment about Brian having all his supporters around him. We'll see about that ;) 

We'll find out about Daphne soon, but I think we all know the answer about her involvement. She would never do that to Justin - or would she?!?

It will be interesting to see how Justin will handle the upcoming meeting: Will he go at all? Will he bring a lawyer? Will it be Melanie? So many questions...

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 ;)

I wish I could agree with everyone else that this was a great chapter, and that this was a good beginning for Brian and Justin to start again. But all I read into it was all the problems they still have. I think it was a mistake they didn't sign the agreement. Justin rightly so still has a lot of anger and I think Brian thinks spending some time with Luke will make Justin fall back in line. I also think Brian disregarding Justin's anger towards Jennifer and anyone else who betrayed him is going to cause more problems. But I think what bothers me the most is them thinking Justin can just visit this child without having actually having met him. Brian wanting to just send him off with Justin and Justin wanting to pick him up from school, just doesn't make sense. Justin and Luke don't know each other. It doesn't matter if Brian has told Luke about him or Gus has told him fun stories about Justin, they are strangers. Does Luke even understand that Justin is his other father or does he just see Justin as another playmate? Also, Justin knows nothing concerning his son's likes or dislikes, if the kid has illnesses or allergies that he may have. Because God forbid something happens to Luke when he's alone with Justin and everyone would come down on him. I know I'm over thinking things, but like I've said before your story makes me think. It frustrates me, but I can't wait for more.



Author's Response:

We will see if Justin made a mistake not signing the agreement or not... Only the future will tell. But we can only hope that this was a step in the right direction. Of course there are still problems, huge problems, but maybe this was a beginning to move them in the right direction.

You raise a lot of good points about Justin and Luke and their relationship and that's definitely something that will be addressed. Absolutely :(

I think on some level that's also a reason why Justin might want to meet with Luke at Britin and not take him to his place - he knows with Brian being at Britin as well, there will be a safety net of some kind.

But we'll find out soon - more will be up tomorrow :)

Disaster waiting to happen. Justin needs to get a backbone quick. He trapped and doesn't even realize it yet. This child is going to think Justin is gonna stay there. They are going to have to make Luke understand they are not a happy family and he can't have everything he wants. Justin and Brian are going to have to understand that their son will have hurt feelings sometimes. I just feel like Justin is going to come out as the bad guy, because of what everyone else chose to do, by leaving Justin out of Luke's life. And that is going to kill Justin. Can't wait for the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Why wouldn't Luke think Justin is gonna stay in his life? Justin has mentioned nothing about wanting to leave and I doubt leaving his son is something he is currently thinking about...

As for Luke understanding that they are not a happy family - this was only their very first meeting. The first time they saw each other. More meetings and more conversations will follow which will also deal with Luke and Gus understanding the dynamics between Brian and Justin.

If anyone is the bad guy in this story, it's Brian for keeping Justin out of Luke's life. Justin is the innocent party here and I don't think Brian will do anything to further hurt him after all the pain he has already caused Justin.

Have hope ;)

More will be up soon!

I didn't mean that Justin wouldn't be a part of Luke's life, I meant he would expect Justin to stay with them in the house. Also, Justin has already started their new relationship with a lie. Everyone is gonna have to realize that Luke's feelings are going to get hurt sometimes. It's just a fact of life. The first time your kid calls you mean or says they don't like you can break your heart, but Justin is going to have to toughen up quick. Also, not let anyone else make him bad for not covering for everyone else. That's why I keep saying Justin is going to look like the bad guy, because you know none of the other co-conspirators in this shitfest are going to want their parts in this brought out, especially where Luke and Gus are concerned. I just feel so bad for Justin and the kids to an extent, but mostly Justin. I know I keep bringing up all the bad things that could happen, instead the excitement of Justin and Luke's first meeting, but I just can't help it. This story just feels so real, that's why I like so much. Can't wait for more.



Author's Response:

Ah sorry, I totally misunderstood you then. My bad :( Please accept my apologies!

Obviously Brian has talked to Luke before he was picked up by Justin (as indicated by both Luke and Brian) and Brian would have explained to Luke that Justin is not gonna stay at Britin with them and won't move in with them. We can trust Brian to be at least that honest.

I know we can't trust Brian and Jennifer and anyone else right now, but neither of them would hurt Justin even more by making him the bad guy. Everyone is well aware of the part they played in this whole mess and they're all ready to face up to that. The question is: How to explain all that to Gus and Luke? It will definitely come up over the course of the story, that's for sure...

Don't worry about focusing on the bad stuff - it is emotionally heavy material and hard to stomach. I totally get you and I am much like you when reading a book or story. I always think about the worst that could happen and my fantasy goes crazy ;) 

I love your comments and I do appreciate your interest in this story :)

Well, after this chapter, I think this is the end for me. Maybe once it's finished I'll try again. I just can't take Justin giving in for the sake of the child. It's a disaster waiting to happen and everyone is being let off the hook for all the horrible things they did to him.



Author's Response:

Fair enough - I know this story is not for everyone.

I guess we all just have very different outlooks on life and for me Justin is not giving in - he very clearly said that it's going to take him a long time to work through what Brian did to him. 

He's just trying to establish a common ground where they can all co-exist together without their tensions impacting the children. I can't blame him for that ;)

Thanks for all your comments so far! I have really appreciated them :)
