Sad thing is that I doubt very much Mel.or Lindsay will think how they are raising the kids is so wrong, despite them explicitly favoring Jenny Rebecca over Gus
Author's Response:
Mel favors Jenny Rebeccas as she can't stand that Gus is Brian's child. So sad.

Poor Gus he is treated like he doesn't exist when Lindsay practically busted her ovaries getting Brian to donate and Mel treated Brian Luke he wasn't anything but the sleek donor.
Makes me wonder why they wanted kids in the first place if their careers seem to be more important?
Brian and Justin aren't perfect but they are doing what the can to show Gus he is Loved simply for being Gus.
What Is Wrong With Lindsay and Mel?!
Author's Response:
Gus grew up and they didn't plan on what parenting looked like. Brian and Justin want what is best for Gus.

With the amount of money Brian was forced to pay to spend more time with his son I a surprise they don't have a nanny?
What have they been doing with the money Brian gives them?
Why is Jenny Rebecca suddenly so much more important than Gus!
What about the promise they made to Brian when he agreed to sign his rights away?
Brian and Justin are making an effort with Colin and Gus so each knows they are loved but Lindsay and Mel can't be bothered to do the same?
Brian and Justin have important careers too but the still make time for their kids why can't Mel and Lindsay?
[Report This]Date: Mar 29, 2022 1:16 pm Title: Chapter 21- Gus' Visit
Mel and Lindsay have Gus around to keep an eye on Jenny Rebecca which is ok occasionally but he is a little boy too and he shouldn't be responsible for Jenny Rebecca all the time.
Lindsay and Mel can't spare five minutes for Gus?
Thought he was So Important To Both Of Them
At least that is the BS they constantly sprouted to Brian when they felt he wasn't doing enough for Gus in their opinions.
Author's Response:
So many parents use older siblings to watch the younger ones, but Mel and Linds have the means to not do this. They are definitely double talking.

They wee both smart enough to find a middle ground so they can pursue their careers while also making time for Colin and each other.
They love each other to much to give up and not figure out the best solution for each other.
Author's Response:
People have to work out what is good for them. If they sacrifice too much, they will begin to resent the child.

What Brian and Justin should have done before Colin came was to tell Michael, Lindsay and Dev to Mind Their Own Damn Business and keep their opinions to themselves or never see them or their baby again.
Their shallow way of thinking is so hurtful towards Brian and Justin which is not what they need.
Author's Response:
They always hoped that their "family" would be there for them and be happy for them. Sadly, they were mistaken.

I have enjoyed this story from the beginning. Things have worked out great for both Gus and JR. Shame the same cannot be said for the girls and Mikey.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much. Things do work out in the end- at least in fanfic

Thank you for this wonderful story. I have been with this story since chapter 1. We sure have come a long long long way since Justin dancing. It is sort of ok
that it is now ended. Simply put, It all seemed to get wrapped up nicely. Mel and Linz story seems a little strange to me. But it reached a point that I no longer
had much interest in them.
I loved the ending. The grouping of Brian, Justin, Gus, Colin, with JR visiting was a really nice way to end this story. So thanks again, it was really good reading.
Thanks,

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the story. It was definitely way way way longer than I ever dreamed. I never know what the muses will tell me to write. Maybe some day I'll return to this universe.

Those kids were destined to have better lives with fathers who loved them and made sacrifices and adjustments in their own lives to give them all the love, care and attention they deserved. Thanks for the wonderful journey in this universe :-)
Author's Response:
Yes, the children do deserve fathers that want them. So glad you enjoyed the story.

Good job Ben treating JR like a child but with respect for her rights to understand and choose her own happiness
Author's Response:
Ben understands the nuances of teaching and whether it is a child or young teen/ college student, they all do better with respect

You've managed to fix Gus' life and now you need a new story showing how JR and Ben become a family. I'd love to read that!
Author's Response:
I never thought about a story for JR and Ben. I'd have to think about that one. I still prefer Brian/Justin so I'd have to think really hard on that one.

It's nice to know where Brian stands on things. Ben and JR have a learning curve to get through. Can't wait to find out how you answer JR's question.
Author's Response:
Children do ask the difficult questions. It will be interesting to see how Ben answers the question.

Mikey is going to be a problem, but he will not find the support from his friends who know him. He truely thinks only of himself.
Author's Response:
So true. Mikey is very self centered and his life still revolves around what is best for him and not what is best for anyone else.

I'm very sad this is the last story in this very enjoyable series. I do hope that you will one day reconsider doing a sequel. Look forward to reading the epilogue and hoping your next new story will come soon.

The trilogy took forever to write, like years. I'm currently writing "Hi My Name is Brian and I'm an Alcoholic". If you haven't read that one, you might take a look. I have a few stories that I've written that I haven't posted here. One day, I'll find time to do so. A sequel may be in the future, but it will have to wait until some other stories are finished. I'm not good at juggling several stories at once.
Thank you for reading and I appreciae the feedback. it means the world to me.

Jenny is a tough cookie, such as Melanie and Debbie.
Michael could install a shower in his shop; it could give him some time to find an apartment, instead of living with his mother.
Author's Response:
Ah but Michael won't want to spend the money. Michael is a mooch and he will use everyone for his own purposes.

JR is much better off
Author's Response:
I agree. She is with a parent who wants her.

Whoa, Ben didn't spend too much time preparing Michael; he went directly to the jugular and bam! Debbie will not take it so easily though.
Author's Response:
I think Ben has already realized that Michael isn't father material and he wants to be a father.

It's so good that the girls are willing to let Ben help. I think seeing where Emmett and Ted will stand with this will make things easier. Mikey doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Author's Response:
Yes, Ben is in a good place and the girls want help.
