Interesting scene with Debbie and Michael.

Hi! Great chapter! I really love this new side of Brian and that he rather stays at home with his "baby sunshine" (that nickname so cute and beautiful by the way) than going out... That reminded me of this leather ball in S1 when he left Gus with Justin. I found his behavior in this situation so pathetic and it made me really sad. So, I really love this matured and grown-up Brian. Still so sad, that there isn't Justin by his side... He would have loved to see this Brian... They could have been so good together... Although there still enough demons left to fight and enough issues to deal with. I'm curious, but you don't have to spoil anything... There is still the therapy to come, but if I understood right, this just comes up after Lindsay tried to kidnap Luke...

If it wouldn't be so sad than one could laugh about the way you let Michael act... "What baby?" These things Michael is saying are so cruel and hurtful and I'm so glad that Brian finally has enough of his shit. He's just so stupid and pathetic. And it seems as if Ben slowly also realises this. Warmest regard!

How sweet of Ben to give Brian books for Luke.  How stupid of Mikey to think Brian would give his son away. 

The parts with Gus are amazing. The parts with Linday were predictable, but she didn't lose her time. Too bad Brian did stop calling Mel; it would have been very interesting knowing her POV.

Hey... Just recently read this, same as your other Back for Good story.  I'm enjoying this one much more.  Lindsay needs a good smacking... although, I really think Brian should touch base with Melanie...  Thanks for updating as often as you do...

Great, amazing chapter! I love how you described Brian giving birth to Luke, how he shows his emotions and his love, how he thinks about Justin... But these are also all the moments which are forever lost to Justin - and that's what makes this chapter also so damned terrible sad. And Jennifer... I still can't accept her apologies and explanations for not telling Justin. All the others... I somehow can understand, but Jennifer, I don't know why I feel that way... Maybe that's why: I think you have characterized all the characters of the show so fabulously and I could imagine them all to act just like you let them. But not Jennifer. I just can't imagine her not telling Justin something so important (although you have given her the right reasons).... and it's your story, but in my opinion, it would have been better if she woulnd't had been included in the whole betrayal.

I could kill Lindsay for playing mother and wife... And I asked myself how Mel dealed with this. She stays away... Why? Because she's working? She could have joined them on their visitations to Brian. But I'm sure, Lindsay would have had something against it... That bitch! She's trying to take Justin's place... i'm very curious how this continues and when Brian will start to realise what Lindsay tries to accomplish... Thanks for sharing and warmest regards!

The baby is finally here.  Why the name Luke?  I'm glad that Brian is happy, but sad that Justin doesn't know.

Hi! Again, amazing chapter, but so much pain and hurt. The "two best friends" It's amazing how you pictured, characterized them so well. Although I don't believe that the makers of the Shów had so intended, that is what many of us see in them. Both think only of themselves. Michael with a pathetic stupidity, but at least an obvious one. And Lindsay with a manipulative sneakiness. In my opinion, the latter is unfortunately much worse, because she makes it so clever and she so deceives Brian. That's why for me, it's harder to read her part in this and to endure how Brian doesn't see through her bullshit. What a bitch. I think, she wouldn't like it to hear Brian think about her as "aunt Lindsay". She seems to already imagine herself to be the mother. Pathetic... I am so glad that her plans have failed...

And then, you nearly made my cry. How Brian talks to the baby about Justin... It's soooo sadand so tragic, because they could have been so happy! Warmest regards!

I bet Lindsey was delighted to paint a mural for the baby and come every 3 weeks without paying anything.

Michael is such a weazle. 

Fantastic chapter.  I have always believed that we should not hate, dislike yes, but hate no.  However, in the case of Michael, I absolutely hate that person he is.  That is a sign that your writing is great making the readers feel the emotions that some stories do not bring out. If he is a friend, heaven help those he doesn't like such as Justin.  

Hi! I must again admit, how hard it is to read this story, knowing there won't be some happy end... It's really hard to see Brian like this without Justin by his side, where he would belong. To read Brian's thoughts, thinking about how he missed Gus' firsts, first words, first steps and first scratched knees, and how he knew that he would never get those years back, at the same time not recognizes, that Justin also won't be able to get those first moments with Luke back, that he also will miss Luke's firsts, knowing that it's Brian, who takes them away from Justin, that it's Brian's fault and doing... It's so painful and I'm suffering for Justin and his loss. And it makes me so sad, that Brian doesn't see, can't see what he's doing...

I already told you that I disliked Michael and Lindsay at the show, but their behavior now makes me even more angry. Some best friends they are... So, Justin ist out of the picture... Who cares... Go, have fun tonight... Arrgghh, I wish them all the worst... But I haven't expected anything else from them. This is also so sad, that it seems as if Brian doesn't want to or can't see what they are doing to him... So, next there will be Michael's reaction. OMG, I think, this time I'm not curious, but angsty and already annoyed by michael... :-) Warmest regards!

That meeting with Michael is going to be quite brutal and I bet the trip to Toronto might be rocky as well: Wendy is not going to like the idea of a baby from Justin.
