Andrew Q Gordon

Thanks to all for the well wishes. Now in a mass address to you all, I apologize for taking so long to respond. Been rather busy lately. Lugh: One is fine to start, we still are planning for a second a year or so after the first. we'll see Sara: Very true, but as the doctor said, before we heard the heartbeat it was a number or a multi syllable word, once the heart is beating it is a baby Cia: You get a twofer here - yes I am pleased too. Whatever was good but I think one is better. Mike 'says' he would have been okay with twins but it took him a day to get to be okay. One is definitely better. We - or at least me - are hoping for a boy - since we all know everyone says all they want is a healthy happy baby - blah blah blah. I care about that too, but IF i got a choice, I want a boy - too late now, it is what it is right? I think we find out in 9 weeks or so. Anyta: The whole boy girl debate comes down to one thing at the end - Justin Beiber - or the Justin Beiber of the day. IF we have a girl, I have to take her to the concert - who wants THAT torture??? Chase: Thanks - you were actually the first one to tell me to blog about it, so I give you your props here and now. Stu: I see your folks never taught you not to tell fibs Frosty: Thanks - but I am going to guess your mum has nothing but good things to say about you these days Shane: Thanks - but 'sister?' Do you only have one? or is there one in specific you wish to torture Anyta with??? Deve: Thanks - and the answer is VERY Nephy: People say that and I used to think, yeah yeah yeah, whatever, a cold beer, a good ball game and hot pizza is just as good - well that was then, now I agree. I feel so possessive already - poor kid. Mike: Thanks and of course congrats on grandson number 4 again Eric: Share?? as in who gets to change the diapers? or who has to go to the Beiber concert? or who has to get up at 3:00 a.m. I don't think share is going to be a problem, seems like who is going to DO might be Vic: Oh how backward you have that. Those who know us both have said it is good we didn't have twins because raise three kids would kill me Method: Thanks I am majorily excited still. I know the time will fly by and at the end I will wish for more, but I just want to see and hold it now. Patience I know.

Glad you and everyone enjoyed this 'sweet' chapter. I might, just might find it in me to give them a few 'hot' chapters before this is over. Maybe

Thanks, hopefully I can keep everyone happy for the last few chapters. They both do care and love each other, now let's see if this new dynamic - Peter's recuperation - changes things.

Thus far, Peter has eschewed all attempts to have him get counseling. Jason has been too busy to think about it, but he might need it after the year he has had.

No nothing sinister at all, no more Jordan Colmar's sneaking out to attack them - promise.

The full - or should I say final determination of - the effects of Peter's injuries are yet to be determined. But Peter is as glad to be home as Jason is to have him back.

With about ten chapters to go, I don' want you to get your hopes up too much Frosty. There is a bit still left to deal with.

Wow Nephy, you're the first review for the chapter. Who knew being Hosted would allow you time for sure mundane things as talking to us lesser folks [seriously, that was just kidding, you've always made time for us little people ] As for what's next? Meh, IDK.

Lawyer? :wacko: Burn them all!! Too F'ing funny Mike.

Chapter 39: BackTo Where It Began is up. Sadly the last 3-4 chapters are a struggle for me, maybe I don't want it to end or maybe I was just preoccupied. Not that I have anything important going on in my life,. Anyway, luckily I have the next 5 written and ready to go, so hopefully during my vacation I finish writing it so there is no lag time in posting. Enjoy.

Entering his apartment, Peter walked through the small rooms, stopping to examine or touch certain things. “It looks so different, but it's just like I left it.” Trying to stay out of Peter’s way, Jason stood by the door watching. He wondered if Peter were reliving the last minutes he was here; the night of their fight. Jason felt his stomach tighten as he watched their argument play out in his mind again. “The plants look good Jase.” Peter’s voice brought him back from his thoughts.

Well then, I am going to stop posting until you get your next chapter(s) done, I waiting months for the next Chapter of SP. If you can leave us hanging like that, why can't I? Thanks for reading and for the comment. But I'm not kidding about the next chapter from you LOL

So to add to my review, Thanks for letting me work on this with you. I don't know that I added too much to things, you are a very talented story teller/writer. But I can't believe how long that chapter was - I mean 7K+? ? From you? Whose idea what that?? All kidding aside, this was a great story. Not heavy, not weird, not crazy, just very real. Sometimes that is the best thing for us when all we the reader want is to disappear for a bit into someone else's world. You did this marvelously well. Karl and Paul were real to us, it was like we knew them personally. So thank you for yet another wonderful tale. To all those reading, we really need a campaign to get GA to make Antya Hosted, or if not that at least Promising status. My understanding is you PM either Talon Rider or Cia now - the people who are in charge of the Writer Support Team [WST]. I've already done this so let's get some others to do it as well. Andy

Ummm . . . no not really, because unless or until you tell us, i get to imagine it anyway way I want. That means unless you mess it up, they are perfect in my eyes

Drats! Fine, last time I ask relevant questions. Next time I ask how hung is Dan and is Matt cut or not. Those won't reveal any plot lines will they?

Matt, Much as I love to hear from every reader, I do not expect a review for every chapter. Right now I think Jason is more cognizant of Peter's point of view than Peter is of Jason's. However, given things, I think that would be appropriate. The end is writing, I am just connecting the scenes so while I know what lies ahead, my lips are sealed. Sorry

Thanks Tim, as I mentioned in a few places, this chapter was a bit closer to home than many in that Barbara's reaction was similar to my mother's only lost a cousin before my mom came around so writing that one teared me up a few times. There is plenty of time to catch up, I won't be finished post til the end of the month at a minimum. My goal is to finish writing this by the end of the month when my leave is over. So you have some time

I am a bit confused by that chapter. Not in a bad way - like your writing or plot are confusing, but rather in the way of what the heck is Aenhol up to? What's really going on with Jacob? I expected Adam to be unfocused at training and am surprised they want him to train knowing that. I see Brain hasn't given up yet has he? Too bad. Adam and Jacob will either be together or will be dead. If one goes they both as I recall Ho-o saying. Oh well no one said life was fair. I liked the part with Rick at the end. It added a touch more reality to the characters. How many more chapters to go?

Shouldn't you be on a date??? Oh snap, the $50 you lost was your date money.

I have this feeling that if Trevor and I ever met in person our banter would be kinda similar. Then again, he might choke me for all the cliffs I left him on so I ain't taking the chance. Yes, Peter seems to have taken the new well. Let's see how he feels in a month or two.

Well letting him and being happy are not the same, time will tell how this goes. Jason may have been better to let Peter move back home - then again, maybe not.

Haha, well, I lived in PA 14 years ago, in a two bedroom in a crummy part of the county outside Philly. We paid about 600 or so for a two bedroom at that time, so I figured with inflation etc, $700 a month was about right. I originally thought $500 but that seemed awful low. But IDK, maybe it's too high, but I needed an answer to Royce's question and that is what came to me. In DC you can't get a studio for $700 a month in the bad part of town so this seems cheap to me. I must say, you have some of the most unusual comments, I love it. - Andy

I did wonder who would be post 200 and it is fitting and cool that it was you Anyta Chapter titles are one of those 'spirit move me brightly' kinda things. I have no idea what to call them until I am staring at the screen and it is asking me for a title. Some work, some suck, others are just right - if I say so myself

I believe there are 10 left, definitely no more than 11. Not saying nothing will happen but plenty of time for something to happen I suppose

Nephy, thanks for the comments. I thought for sure you would be mad - no cliffs in this chapter, maybe a cloud or two, but definitely no cliffs.
