Michael and Lindsay truly have some shit with them, thinking they have some kind of leverage in taking Jamie away from both of his parents! The both need a reality check and FAST!
As for Michael, once again, lying to Deb... I mean, can we really be surprised? He's never had to own up to his stupidity before. He has the audacity to tell her that Brian's partnering in the store with him, and when Brian really sets Deb straight, has the nerve to not only get angry with Brian for being unwilling to keep the lie going, but threaten to help Lindsay in her quest to become Jamie's mother legally? What the hell kind of shit has he been smoking to buy into her pipe dream?! He really is an ASS!

Mel may be trying to be reasonable, but why should Justin just have to understand how Lindsay is feeling? As far as I'm concerned Lindsay can have several seats and get over all her new mom-induced delusions!
“Well, Michael told us that you weren’t coming back, that you were living with Brett and you seemed really happy in your new life.” I mean, shouldn't have the fact that Michael implied knowing ANYTHING about Justin's life/plans set off all kinds of warning bells for everyone involved? No way in hell would Justin have EVER confided that piece of foolery in Michael without talking to Brian first.
I also HATE that Michael is putting all reason for his fuckups on Ben's illness, and trying to save his own ass yet again. I swear he reminds me so much of Lindsay; always passing the blame like it's a glass of champagne and never taking responsibilities for the fact that he's a natural-born idiot!
God, I just have to say it again: GUS is ADORABLE!!!!
That last scene, as always with Brian and Justin, was HOTTTTT.
HUGS,
~Nichelle
Author's Response: Surprisingly Mel is trying to do the right thing in this fic, instead of blindly supporting Lindsay. Michael lies like Trump. Anything to get himself out of trouble, and especially if he can make someone else look bad at the same time. Gus really is totally adorable. How can Brian and Justin not be HOT! Just being in the same room sends endorphins spinning out of control... Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

WOW! Brian and Joan are growing so much, and each in their own ways. I was moved by the scene between them.
LOVE that they have officially chosen the baby's name together, which is how it should have been.
Michael is, as always, a rotten little bastard to his core! $40-freaking-GRAND in gambling debts!!!!! Why oh WHY is Brian going to bail his ignorant ass out of trouble AGAIN?! He's had his life threatened and all he can think about is action figures? What a dweeb!
HUGS,
~Nichelle
Author's Response: Yes, in this fic I'm trying to let Brian and Joan try and resolve their problems. Yes, they've named Jamie, even if Brian couldn't admit that Baby J stood for Justin. Michael is and always will be a total bastard, but his time is coming... Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen
[Report This]Date: Jul 31, 2019 5:24 pm Title: Chapter 2 ~ Baby J
Lindsay has a helluva nerve thinking that she has some say in what Brian, and now Justin, ought to do concerning THEIR child! She best slow her roll, and pump her breaks and realize quick, fast and in a hurry that she has a place, but raising this particular child is NOT going to be it!
“Fine, I’ll go home and pack his overnight bag, but this isn’t over. We need to have a serious talk about everything.”
“Do you think I wasn’t serious this whole conversation, Lindsay?..."
HA! You tell her Justin! So HAPPY that Brian and Justin are being reunited. And Gus is absolutely adorable and hilarious!
Off to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Even though Justin maybe be a little shocked about his new fatherhood status, he'll always standup for him and Brian. Especially where Lindsay is concerned. Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen

[Report This]Date: Oct 19, 2016 6:17 pm Title: Chapter 2 ~ Baby J
How is Lindsay and Mel suppose to afford to take care of three kids when they could barely manage one without Brian's help?
They just totally disregarded Justin's feelings about them raising his child which is not surprising, they hounded Brian about giving up his baby so who cares what Justin wants.
I feel for Brian having to deal with that while Justin was in California he should have told Justin the truth so he could come back and tell the girls to go to Hell.
Author's Response: You're so right, they couldn't afford JR but they went ahead and had her anyways. They always seem to think that the bank of Kinney is open for business. Shaming Brian,and telling him he's unfit, then disregarding Justin completely is deplorable. Brian has always been insecure when it comes to feeling loved, but now Justin's back they'll come to truth each other completely... Later Sweetheart ~ Kathleen

Welcome to the world Nicholas! I'm so excited to see an update to this story. I'm loving it.
I'd love to see them with a house full of kids. I wonder if Brian would carry the next baby or if he's gonna want Justin to.
Can't wait for more. Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: Yes, Nicky's finally here! Hmmm... Papa Brian or Justin? I guess will have to wait and see, but it would only be fair that they take turns. Although I can already hear Brian complaining about his girlish figure... he, he, he... So glad your enjoying this fic... Later Darling ~ Kathleen
Date: Sep 12, 2016 6:30 pm Title: Chapter 1 ~ Christmas Presents…
Thrilled to see a new chapter. Good to catch up with everyone's lives. A lot has happened to them all.
Poor justin. I totally get where he's at. that last bit of pregnancy is so utterly frustrating! Between being the size of teh good year blimp, your emotions are all over the place, & you want that thing out of you NOW!! thankfully Brian is so understanding and more importantly aware fo all the upheavals Justin is experienceing.
this Maryann chick.........woah!! Have been to several churches with different denominations and have witnessed many things. She's a few steps past "evangelical" and pretty much into harsh manipulations. Her family has really done a trip on her. It's folks like her that give religion a bad name. It's one thing to want that kind of life for yourself, deeply set in teh bible, to go on those missions and pilgrimages, but it's ontother to force it onto someone else, or to lead another person into that life via manipulations.
Mel...heart is still breaking for her. What a difficult times she has to go through. Losing JR and Lindsey. missing them both terribly. Her missing Lindsey is more out of missing old Lindsey or the Lindsey in her mind rather than teh real Lindsey. Much like how Michael adn Lindsey ahd their own views.perspective of brian, I think Mel did the same with Lindsey.
will Deb have that investigation done? I certainly hope so. thing is, will Michael be so entrenched into this new life, that he ignores anything that comes from it? What will happen if he's confronted with teh truth? while I can't stand the guy...he certainly doesn't deserve all teh crap that's been handed to him. He's not mentally strong enough to withstand the truth of what's happened to him.
Happy that Caril will be taking Deb away for a vacation. she really needs it.
BABY IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! Boucnig with excitment!! Thrilled for them both!!
Big family huh? Who's carrying the next one? lol. wil lthey keep trying till they get a girl?
thank you for this!!! Have been waiting patiently. (only becuase you sadi you were working on it lol)
Cheers,
Elaine
Author's Response: I know it's been a while, but I'm back... Thankfully Brian's been very understanding of Justin's mood swings. Of course, he knows all to well how the little things can set you off, and being away from home just makes things even harder. Nicky made an early exit, and now Brian finally has a chance to hold and swaddle his little butterball. Justin's such a proud papa, and he wants everyone to know that him and Brian are solid and going strong. Lindsay may not be handling it well, but then again her life is a total mess and she needs to focus on herself. Melanie's trying to move forward, but it's hard losing your daughter and wife all at once. But she has her surrogate family that love and support her. Michael, what can I say, he'll have to learn the hard way, you can't pray the gay away... Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen

[Report This]Date: Sep 11, 2016 10:06 pm Title: Chapter 28 ~ Nicholas Declan Taylor-Kinney
It's so good to see more on this, but let me start with -Poor Justin. I can relate and I'm not even pregnant. Michael- poor guy, will he find out that his new wife is keeping his friends and mother away? Are will he go with the flow the same way he did with David, until David decided he'd had enough of Mikey's whining. Melanie - she's in a good place all things considered. She's not rushing into anything, which is good. Ted - amazingly he and David seem to be going strong and not rushing into a relationship. Hunter and Hank, an interesting side note. Lindsay - totally delusional and should be put away for everyone's sake. Especially Melanie's as she is not taking responsibility for Jenny Rebecca's passing. Debbie and Carl - it's nice that she's focusing on their relationship seeing as there is nothing to be done for Michael. Emmett - love that he's doing so well. Jennifer - interesting that she's looking for someone new in her life. That should make Justin happy.
The we get to the meat of the story. Hurray for Brian who not only buys his apartment building but gives Maria and Consuela places to live that benefit all of them. He even puts up with Justin's misguided perception that he's overweight. Fortunately the new little one makes his appearance a tad early, making everyone and your readers extremely happy. I don't blame them for not telling everyone when it happened, they needed the peace and quiet to adjust. All the pictures you picked to post were phenomenal. And we look forward to your next chapter.
Author's Response: Thankfully Brian could relate to all of Justin's pregnancy issues, but he's all ways been a drama queen. Brian's such a proud papa, and he wants to make things as comfortable as possible for everyone. Having Maria and Consuela close by will give Justin the freedom he needs to continue painting and not have to worry about all the paint fume and the kids. Michael and Lindsay are both still just as delusional as ever, but at least Lindsay under lock and key. Mel's better off with out Lindsay, now she just needs to heel before she makes to many new changes. Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen
[Report This]Date: Sep 11, 2016 7:22 pm Title: Chapter 28 ~ Nicholas Declan Taylor-Kinney
Not surprised Michael has walked into a relationship that he doesn't really understand, why didn't Deb notify the hospital about what Marianne is doing to Michael?
I feel bad for Mel she has to deal with living without her child because of Lindsay's jealousy and selfishness, while Lindsay sits in jail getting more delusional and just ignoring the fact that Jenny Rebecca is gone due to her.
Glad Ted and Emmett are doing so well in their relationships and business they have found happiness.
I always thought Jennifer was happy with Tucker had no idea she would be the one looking for a new relationship?
Just so happy for Brian, Justin, Gus, Jamie and their newest edition Nicholas Declan Taylor-Kinney, also happy that Justin will have a show at the Bloom Gallery to display his pictures.
Everything is looking up for Brian and Justin but we all know this is just the calm before the storm.
Looking forward to the next chapter :)
Author's Response: Let's face it, Michael an idiot, plan and simple... Deb needs to have Maryann investigated, what she's done is do wrong. But Michael a fool to not see the forest for the trees. Jealousy, Selfishness and Delusional, that pretty much sums up Lindsay. I think Tucker was good for Jen for a while. But their lives experiences are soon to start showing a little strain, he's not ready to be a father, let alone a grandfather. Gus, Jamie, and now Nicky, the Taylor-Kinney clan is just too adorable... Brian and Justin need to start bracing for all the drama, but they can handle it... Later Darling ~ Kathleen

So happy to read a new chapter of this story.
It's funny that Brian wants a girl. I hope they will have one with blue eyes.
I imagine Brian buying women clothes for Justin, hoping he won't find out. Too bad, he did.
Did you take the pictures yourself in Santorini? I hope so as it's an amazing island.
By the way, thank you for the link to Gale's pictures. Very interesting and he smiles on some... Self fan... Really gorgeous man.
Author's Response: Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it. By the time their little Brianna comes along, Brian's going to be a total softy, and she's sure to be daddy's little princess. Maternity clothes. I though that would get a good laugh, and turn Justin into a total drama queen. I wish I had vacationed in Greece, my sister's been, but I haven't. I downloaded the pics from the internet. Now onto Mr. Talk, Dark and Sexy... Swoons... I need a shower... So glad you enjoyed them... Hugs Hon ~ Kathleen

SO HAPPY to wake up to this!! YAY!!!! Justin and his pregnancy issues were hysterical. I remember those days all too well and yet I have a 21 and 15 year old. This took me back! I'm lso thrilled that Justin has been given a show at Bloom Gallery. What an exciting time for the Taylor-Kinneys!
I sort of feel sorry for Deb...sort of. Michael was a moocher and a manipulative user. I can only see his defection into the straight world as good for her and Carl. But I understand that she is his mother and she worries. I wonder how Maryann will like what her machinations have wrought when Michael reverts to type- spoiled, manipulative, whiny and GAY!! She's the type of person that I HATE with a passion and I'll be all too happy to see her get her comeuppance. I doubt he'll be able to even get his little peen up which will add to her plight.
I don't feel no way sorry for Lindsay. She needs to remain locked up for the rest of her life be it in a mental institution or in JAIL, which I prefer. She killed Jenny but instead of that being her main focus, Brian and Justin getting married sends her over the bend? Burn, BITCH, BURN! She deserves everything she gets!
As for Mel, I can understand why she would be reluctant to move on with Georgia, especially since she is in the middle of a divorce and her switching teams could cause major problems. That said, Mel really does need to move on from Lindsay. It's past time really and to me, Lindsay is no great loss. I know that it will take time to heal from it all, so I would say that she should go out to remember what it was like to have fun, work on her career and sleep with as many women as would take her fancy for the night until she's ready to move forward. Basically channel her inner Brian Kinney until her grief subsides a bit.
I'm glad that both Ted and Emmett are finding fulfillment in their lives! They are so deserving of some happiness of their own!
I hope this Tom guy will not start acting a fool on Jennifer and Justin. If he starts pulling a 'Maryann' with Jennifer, I think he'll find that she's not as easy as Michael to trick and manipulate. She's already been there and done that with Craig.
Can't wait for MORE!!!
Happy Writing and HUGS,
~Nichelle
Author's Response: Justin's drama daddy moments were hysterical, but Brian totally understood. Been there done that... I also think it's good for Deb and Carl to not have to deal with spoiled/whiny Mikey. As for him, I also thought he might have trouble popping Maryann's cherry. They might need to get a strap-on to fulfill Michael's needs. Otherwise he might become chummy with the pastor's and the choir boys. Mel deserves to find someone stable, but like you said, in the meantime she needs to channel her inner-Brian Kinney. I'm thinking Tom will be a better match for Jen. He's more apt to be a better grandfather figure, than Tucker. Brian and Justin have had a fun summer all to themselves... Let the chaos resume... Hugs Darling ~ Kathleen
