I love it when stories take after real life. Love Gus and his knowledge of kissie faces and I'm glad to see that Brian can't resist the midget. Maybe Justin can move in and help walk the doggy?
Author's Response:
YumYum,
We have gotten lots of story ideas from our lives.
We'll have to see about Justin being chief dog walker.

so the back story comes out- really liked the way they each shared their stories- now Brian has an inkling that Gus is his and Justin has shared his story with a man who appears intersted- lets hope that Brian doesn't freak- this Brian seems to be a more level headed man
Author's Response:
sfscarlet,
Brian knows it's time to change things in his life, so he is trying to be more open.
Glad you're enjoying the story.

Loved the sheneaghins at dinner! So funny, horny little boys lol Brian told him he loved him! Well duh!
Gus was so cute, he didn't want to leave Aunty Em....I'm sure he'll have more 'playdates' with Molly & Em & Ted. 'The boring man' lol poor Ted
Author's Response:
Glo,
Brian just couldn't resist teasing his blond.
Em is fun, that's all that matters to a kid.
Poor Ted.

Sounds like it was a fantastic first date except Gus didn't want to leave Emmett. How did that happen? Wonderful chapter.

The "booty/beauty" remark is excellent and so are the texts' exchanges.
Emmett's lessons of life are a masterpiece.
Author's Response:
Sno,
Gus tries to relate things to his favorite movie.
Emmett may be silly and campy, but his 'lessons' do have a point.

LMAO I love Gus so much. I could totally picture his little face being all exasperated with Brian for not wanting to leave him at the preschool. Protective Daddy Brian is HOT.
Loved their phone call on the roof, that was smoking. Their "date" is going to be so delicious :)
Author's Response:
Sally,
Poor child is probably rolling his eyes clear up into his head.
Hot phone call. Hotter date.

Love how fast Gus adapts and how he wanted Brian gone so he and his new friend could do crafts. Emmett better be able to kidsit. Great story.

Toys, happy kids and 'crefs' are always better than old parents.
Em loves kids.

Well they just can't wait now can they? lol Gus was the cutest, pushing Brian out the door! Kids are definitely adaptable and resilient! Looking forward to the date! Oh wait...it's not a date lol
Author's Response:
Glo,
Brian is kind of starved for sex, he needed relief.
Once they see something more interesting than parents, kids just don't care about us anymore.
Their 'sort of' date will be fun.

I just started reading that story yesterday and completely fell in love with it! It turns out to be a beautiful idea and really well executed. Gus is absolutely adorable and so is the relationship that he and Brian are developing.
I was really curious about how you were going to introduce Justin in this. That was surprising, but in a good way! I like that you got Molly into this, she is such an underused character (including in the serie) and I really like "mature and responsible" Justin. It's gonna create an interesting dynamic with Brian. I can't wait to see how their relationship will evoluate. That's interesting to see Brian face such a life altering situation, that happens to him all of a sudden, and the impact it's having on him.
The only thing that I didn't really understand is what is happening with social services finally... Did he call them or not after talking to Carl? Carl kind of advice him to retain some information or let say "edit" the story regarding his paternity and maybe also the situation with Lindsay, so if he did call, what exactly did he tell them and what are they going to do? I think this would need to be clarified...
I can't wait for the next chapter! :)
Author's Response:
Mychad,
Yes Brian did call CPS. He told them that he is the father and that Lindsay just sent him Gus without any warning and then disappeared. He asked them to help him locate her. This way Gus will be left with him while they try to find her.
Glad you're enjoying the story.

Why doesn't Brian take Gus to the hospital for a DNA cotton swap test? I'm surprised they haven't done that yet. Love the text messages! Their so adorable! Now is Leather Bear ever going to get another outfit? Lol

We'll get to that, be patient. ;).
At least they're communicating.
Not sure.

Was Brian going to call CPS even after Carl suggested he didn't? *shakes head*
Gus making the love letter for Brian's "booty" was so cute.
Love the text exchange between B&J :)
Sally, Carl suggested that Brian not tell them that he not the father, because then they would have to put him in foster care and Brian wouldn't be allowed to have any contact with him. They will leave him with Brian if he says he's the father. Gus likes Justin and he thinks Brian needs to have someone. Brian is trying to change, maybe Justin is just what he needs. ~Tag and Lorie~

Awww. Brian taking his mini-me to work. Ted had a great idea of Emm watching the little one. And Gus learned how to paint nails. Maybe Brian can do the same when he takes Justin or Booty as Gus calls him to dinner.
Author's Response:
YumYum,
Yes, Brian was getting a little stressed with Gus there, but he handled it well.
More interesting stuff to come.

Excellent chapter: they start to be at ease together, and with the kids; Brian starts to think Gus might be his kid.
The only touchy thing is that Gus is really traumatized and it's dramatic; it would be worse if Brian can't keep him; I don't use the verb won't because I don't see him going any other way.
Author's Response:
SNO,
They would be a great family.
Brian will make sure Gus is well cared for.

Alright well Brian is putting 2 & 2 together & realizing that Gus is probably his son. The BBQ was so adorable...poor Gus, thinking that Brian is going to be angry with him all the time.
Yeah Brian, you WILL call Justin! Lol Go get him!

Brian will eventually find out everything he needs to know.
Everyone will get what they need.

Poor, Gus :( hearing how scared he was to make a mess broke my heart.
I really can't wait to find out Lindsay's story. I feel like there might be more to it than I first thought.
Brian, I HOPE HE CALLS JUSTIN :)

What a wonderful picnic on the roof. Brian is so sweet to comfort Gus. Somehow I think the midget is staying and I'm pretty sure Justin will be getting a call.
