Michael looking for attention runs to a reporter to rat out Emmett so he could finally be in the spotlight, who cares who he hurts in the process just as long as he is getting the attention he deserves.
What an Ass!!!

Loving this story, as with all of your stories! I knew that Michael was being Michael and hopefully this time Ben will cop a hold of his nuts and man up for heaven sake! Be there for the child, Hunter, that needs you not the manchild that's having a tantrum and will NEVER stop obsessing over Brian! Can't wait to read more...subtle hint clang!

Michael using Ben as an excuse for why he agreed to adopt Hunter, then using Justin as the reason why nothing is going right in his life.
Michael Novotny, The Man Of A Thousand and One Excuses
Justin wants to save the world and Brian is willing to help as much as he can.
It seems love is growing between these two men and a weekend away is just what they need.

Michael as usual opens mouth inserts foot and to Hell with fixing it let someone else clean up the mess.
Hunter is already feeling down after hearing that from one of the men he considered a father sent him running to someone who would listen and give him a safe haven.
All Michael wants to do is wallow in self pity because he didn't get to grow up in a mansion, he really doesn't care that he hurt Hunter he just wants all the focus on him.
I can understand why Justin isn't real interested into getting to know Michael I wouldn't be thrilled to be related to Michael either.

I find it scary that Michael actually thinks he can handle a baby when he can't even take care of himself, Hell he and Ben can't even take of Hunter who just needs them to listen him instead of just dismissing his problems.
And Lindsay should have thought about Mel, Gus and Jenny before she began her affair with Sam, lying about it doesn't help especially now that she is expecting twins cause The Bank of Kinney is closed.
All the joy of meeting the in-laws

I like the whole staring through Lindsay thing Warren and Justin were doing to Lindsay it knocked her off her game.
I feel bad for Emmett he fell for someone who was engaged and kept him in the closet, now it is out and it doesn't look like it is going to die down anytime soon.
Warren was honest with Deb and even though she didn't like hearing it she has to realize that Michael is not going to be thrilled with this new development.

Well well well!!! It seems there's NO HONOR among opportunistic, narcissistic jackasses, is there? Good for Lindsay... and plus how exactly did she think she was going to manage FOUR children? Stupid ass!!! I wonder what Ben will do now that he heard that he is basically a means to an end.
I'm glad that Brian and Justin are joining their lives and that they are going to stand with Mel. If Michael thought he didn't have anyone in his corner before, well he certainly does NOT now! Wait until Debbie gets wind of his petition to take the kids away from Mel. WHOO-WEE to be the fly on the wall watching the smacks fly!! LOL I can't wait!
Happy Writing and HUGS,

Oooooo Grampy shouldn't have stepped on those toes if he expects Justin to help him.
So Justin and Michael are related!!
Deb really should have owned up to that lie years ago instead of letting it spiral out of control, Michael uses not having a father for the reason why nothing works out for him.
Emmett and Drew's secret is out and now they must deal with the consequences.

Lindsay hitting the floor was the blessed relief of having to listen to her voice joining with Michael's to wail their favorite song.
Of now that Lindsay knows who Justin is related to and her know running to Mommy and Daddy to no doubt gloat, just means she is going to try harder to get near Brian and Justin.
Love the fact that Warren just by past Lindsay and kept going though his choice of a house for Justin might have grandfather and grandson at loggerheads? lol
Ben just sounds like he is making excuses for him and Michael that Justin is not buying for one second.
Ted may never be able to breathe properly again :)

How Lindsay and Michael thought this would work is beyond me. They are going up against the big boys and if I'm reading this right Ben's about to jump ship.

I love you so much. I'm laughing as I write this.

Date: Feb 21, 2017 1:24 am Title: Chapter 8
Warren seems to be an interesting character he is like Brian doesn't take crap from anyone and appreciates honesty and directness.
Now Ted may need to carry around an oxygen tank if Warren keeps coming to the office lol
Ben and Michael are so caught up in the new baby they have forgotten Hunter who is starting to feel left behind and ignored.

Date: Feb 21, 2017 1:03 am Title: Chapter 6
Lindsay you spread your legs for Sam and want Brian to deal with the consequences?
THIS CHICK MUST BE HIGH?!?!?!?
Brian and Mel have finally put this animosity towards each in a hole to never be seen again and now with Lindsay not thinking she is trying to bring it back to the surface.
Brian is doing the right thing by letting her figure it out on her own instead of fixing her problems.
Besides Brian would rather get to know Justin then deal with Lindsay's drama or Michael's whining.
Date: Feb 21, 2017 12:27 am Title: Chapter 24
The drama just jumps off the screen!! And with that the yummy love! Ben was played like a cheap harmonica, I wonder how he will react to the truth?
Date: Feb 20, 2017 10:53 pm Title: Chapter 23
Perfect!! They needed to really spend time together and now they know a lot more about each other. They will be just fine. As for Linds and Mel I'm not so sure. It's a high hurdle and two women who really aren't the most monogamous.

I love Warren in this. He's level headed and seems to really understand people. He gives small insights into people that others my noth think about. Slightly different perspectives. Especially Brian. Love that he really likes and respects Brian, but how he climbed up to where he is, how honest he is and because he doesn't kiss his ass. More importatnly though, because he has real affection for Justin. Yup, Warren is a trrific character in this and am emjoying him thoroughly. He pulls no punches and is brutall honest, a character trait that Brian himself admired is anyone. they'd make a great business team.
I'm really really like how Brian seems to be so protective if Emmett. soemthing we don't normally see, at least not so blatantly.
I hda to re-read the part with Michael adn Ben to make sure I hadn't missed anything vital. Did Danny's talk with Michael actually make a difference? Is Michael actually going to grw up a bit or this just a temporary thing? Ben's right though. they need to work on themselves and Michael needs to take onus for the shit he's caused. Nees to stop feeling sorry for himself. Perhaps once they do, they'll be able to be parents to Hunter.
Lindsey too seems to be whilsting a different tune. she and Mel seem to be coming to some kind of concensus. they'll part as friends and both be parents, but Lindsey at least has finaly admitted what everyone already knew. Kind of impressed.
Brian's words are causing me pause though. That neither she nor Michael do anythig without a selfish motive. Are they pulling the wool oever everyone's eyes here? Do they have some kind of plan afoot? (are they smart enought to HAVe a plan afoot?)
Nice quiet time for Brian and Justin, Who'da thought of Brian fishing? Definitely a time for him to become more introspective mind you. To be more open with Justin, and show him as his true self. They are definitely on teh right road together!!
Cheers,
Elaine

Nice place to escape!
Ah ah ah, Brian the fisherman!!! After picking tricks, he picks fishes. I wouldn't have imagine such re-conversion.

Date: Feb 20, 2017 4:28 pm Title: Chapter 23
Everyone is finally figuring this out. I like that. This is one story I love to read every day.

Date: Feb 20, 2017 4:16 pm Title: Chapter 22
Love the interaction between Michael and Danny. Danny says what he sees yet Michael sees it differently. Perhaps Justin could promise Disney for a later time? I can see that Brian letting Justin deal will be a problem, but then if Brian had taken over there would have been a problem.

Date: Feb 20, 2017 4:01 pm Title: Chapter 21
I love how your characters point out the obvious yet certain people don't see the truth. I also love that Brian realizes what he feels for Justin is love and Justin feels the same way.

Date: Feb 20, 2017 3:31 pm Title: Chapter 20
For someone who had no idea about caring for someone other than himself until Gus was born, Brian has come along way. Michael was his friend, but now he's seeing him in a light that is not flattering.

Date: Feb 20, 2017 3:16 pm Title: Chapter 19
I think that if Sierra hadn't hired a party planner Drew wouldn't have met Emmett. It's wonderful to see Ted's reaction to Michael's bid for attention and that's what it is. Justin hearing that Mel is upset about her baby and doing what he does is fantastic. Mel has more friends as back up than she thought. Brian and Gus are adorable.
Date: Feb 20, 2017 3:07 pm Title: Chapter 22
Oh, Mikey you ugh. Totally what I just said, he didn't evan try.
Callie and Gus were too cute trying to get in on the trip. I'm glad their going to spend time alone. Heck, Grampy liking you could make you fall in love.
Drew likes Emmett!! See, I was sort of right, so was Grampy.
Date: Feb 20, 2017 2:52 pm Title: Chapter 21
I was hoping Mikey would give his Dad a chance, perhaps understand the part his mother played in keeping them separate, but, nope. True to form Mikey is focused on the completely wrong thing. Grampy let him have, poor dumb dumb.
Brian is projecting about Drew because ultimately there were so many factors that dumping the fiancé wasn't easy. You can only hope Drew loves Emmett, which us the same position any couple should truly be viewed in. Even when love is obvious, it may not be love.
