Crappy ending to a fun start....leave it to Brian to find a place to have his way with Justin in the middle of the party
Author's Response:
Brian can have a good time anywhere, but worry free days are not necessarily in his future. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 4: The Party's Over!
A tragedy for the whole family...Gus would live with Brian and Justin, JR with her father Michael and Ben. Knowing Michael he won't man up
Author's Response:
This is indeed a tragedy, but as always everyone will pull together for the good of their family. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 5: Changes Are Hard
Well you found a way for Michael not to take JR....Brian is a mess but Justin stepped up
Author's Response:
Justin will always be there for Brian, something that Brian appreciates more than ever as time goes by. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 6: Setting Things Right
Brian is soooo lucky to have Justin to support him
Author's Response:
You are so right, Fantgirl. I think that it is Justin's loyalty and support that made Brian fall so deeply in love with him long ago (not to mention his beautiful body and heart). Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 7: Saying Goodbyes
I think the Dads will do well and the teens will be fine (as fine as teens can be ) On the road again
Author's Response:
They'll work as a team, but of course raising teens isn't going to be all smooth sailing. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 9: Getting to Know St. James
Gus is gay right ?
Author's Response:
Ah, is he or is he not? That is the question. Read on for the answer, dear Fantgirl. Huge hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 17: A Nightmare Revisited
Thank you
Author's Response:
You're welcome. I simply couldn't let history repeat itself, and Brian needed closure from the horrific incident that haunted him for so long. Huge hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 10: Looking Forward to the Holidays
OK Jason is gay who knows about Gus, i think he is but my gaydar doesn't work on computers LOL
Author's Response:
There is definitely a close friendship developing for Gus and Jason. Only time will tell where it leads. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 11: The Turning Point
Good chapter....I hope neither boys get hurt...they are so young.
Author's Response:
Justin was the same age when he met Brian, and he just knew what he wanted. Gus is sometimes more like Justin than Brian, so the couple do have a chance. Only time will tell. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 12: The Morning After
Poor Gus and Jason...they will figure it out maybe with their dads help
Author's Response:
Experience can be the best teacher, and boy are Brian and Justin experienced. LOL! Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 14: The 'Talk'- Part Two
Good talk wish more parents were like this I know too many sad stories
Author's Response:
I used the experience I had when talking with my Granddaughter, who came out as gay to us as a teen, to try and imagine how Brian and Justin would react. I'm so glad you approved of 'the talk'. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 15: A Bowl of Cherries Before the Pits
Is it all going to hell in a hand basket ?
Author's Response:
Unfortunately real life usually is full of potholes on the road to adulthood. But when there is enough love, one can usually ride it out without too much damage. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 16: A Day of Fun and Fury
Not another bashing PLEASE
Author's Response:
I know how you feel. That bashing was one of the most heartbreaking scenes I'd ever witnessed. I cried for a long time over that. Have faith, Fantgirl. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 18: The Best Revenge
So glad the boys are happy and safe
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you are enjoying the journey this young couple have been on. Thank you so much for your great comments. Huge hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 07, 2018 Title: Chapter 19: Here's to the Future!
I loved this Thank you
Author's Response:
All your comments have been fantastic, Fantgirl. I truly appreciate you taking time to let me know how each chapter has affected you. I hope you will give the sequel a try too. There is much more to the story of Gus and his young lover, Jason... as well as time for Gus' sister to have a story of her own. And of course, there is much more on what life is like for Brian and Justin as the parents of young adults. Thank you again. Huge hugs, Grammy
This is the sequel to Double Trouble and it will help you to understand the characters and their motivations if you've read DT first. Hopefully this one will stand up well on its own. This story picks up four years after DT ends. This time it is Gus and boyfriend Jason who are graduating from college and their sisters who are graduating from high school. The story will look back on the previous four years and then move on to their new lives together. Brian and Justin, still happily married, look with pride on the kids they helped move into adulthood together. I hope you will enjoy this continuation of their saga and remember that I welcome all comments. Many thanks to the genius work of Eka for the banner and my friend Pat for the beta work. Enjoy!

I cried all the way thru this Happy Tears Brian and Justin have done a wonderful job with the kids But then they had great material to work with thanks to their Moms

That is so true, Fantgirl. Mel and Linds were loving parents to Gus and JR and it showed. I'm so glad you are checking out the sequel to Double Trouble. I enjoy your comments very much. Warm hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 08, 2018 Title: Chapter 2: Graduation Day, The Girls: Part One
The guys are going to miss the kids so much........What did Jas do ?

Date: Jan 08, 2018 Title: Chapter 5: Who Is That Grey-Eyed Mystery Man?
I loved it when Brian tossed the conversation to Justin " The Stalker"
Author's Response:
Brian and Justin are the perfect duo. Each has their own set of answers for whatever the kids need to know. In this case, Justin is definitely the right one to give advice, given his experiences with Brian. LOL! Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 08, 2018 Title: Chapter 6: Reflections On a Mistake
At least Gus as his dads.....will they tell him about the Fiddler ?
Author's Response:
Brian and Justin will always use their hard-earned experiences to help the people they love, especially the kids. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 08, 2018 Title: Chapter 7: The Voices of Experience
Dads to the rescue again, but then what are loving parents for if not that
Author's Response:
That is so true, Fantgirl. And it always helps when the young are willing to learn from the experiences of their elders. Hugs, Grammy
Date: Jan 08, 2018 Title: Chapter 8: School's In Session
I hope everything stays OK with the boys.....JR should just give up, she can't be herself around him
Author's Response:
There will be more roads to travel for the boys, but it is JR who will have the rockiest road. But sometimes you just can't help yourself, even when you know better. Hugs, Grammy
