You do realize they are going to see the D.A. and that will be covered in the next chapter - right? Just don't . . . nevermind

Sunlight peeked through the blinds when Jason woke. Still lying next to him, Peter appeared to be sleeping peacefully. There were no more yelling episodes, at least none he heard. Feeling the need to pee, he carefully got out of bed, hoping he didn't wake Peter up. Peter smiled as he slept so Jason decided not to disturb him by getting back in bed. His clothes, still in the same place he left them last night, were barely worn so he put them back on. Quiet as he could, he went into the ki

Keep your barf bag handy, I might end up making them sickeningly sweet at some point if I am not careful.

Thanks for reading and for commenting. I will appreciate hearing feedback - especially nice stuff like this I have to say, as much as I enjoyed writing this, I will be glad when I am able to post the last chapter - hell glad to finish writing the last chapter lol - it sort of consumed me for a time but I am happy I did/am doing it. Thanks again. - Andy

I could go with sappy and describe Mike, but truth be told when I met him - 16 years ago this week, I would not have said he was my 'ideal mate.' He didn't live in the same city as me, he didn't like baseball or soccer, didn't like sci-fi, was too preppy, was more artsy and less sports bar than me. In short he was not half the things I looked for in my ideal mate. But he was cute, so that got us talking. And he was fun to be around, [let you figure out what all that means], so that kept us talking, and he is sweet, smart, funny, caring, has a good heart, treats me with respect, is patient and overall just is a wonderful person, and that has kept us talking ever since. Over time we have learned to share some of the things the other liked, he now enjoys going to baseball games, he took me to a DC United v A.C. Milan friendly match for my birthday, I go antique shopping with him, or try to have something intelligent to say when we are discussing things for the house. He still isn't a romantic, but I have enough of that for both of us. So to steal a famous line from Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart who In 1964, tried to explain "hard-core" pornography, or what is obscene, by saying, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced . . . ut I know it when I see it . . " I couldn't tell you what my ideal mate would have, but I knew it when I saw it. Andy

At the risk of being rude, where was that picture taken?

Just a few???? Too funny Soup - nasty, gross, and retina burning, but freaking funny nevertheless. Um now to make sure Mike does NOT buy me chocolate for V-day. One can never be too worried about one's weight it seems.

LOL now I feel stupid, I replied to Trevor, THAN read your review - doh! Well at least we think the same about the need for a pause to catch your breath chapter here and there. I know she will tut tut me but if you see improvement as I progress - thank Anyta, she has helped me enormously by pointing out what I should and shouldn't do and where to add more, write less etc. But thank you for telling me, I appreciate hearing it. - Andy

Being the voice of dissent is fine Trev. I expect it - I mean everyone can't like it all the time. I am left to wonder if you would feel differently if you were reading this start to finish with the chapter by chapter approach. I say that because - in my mind at least - this is the natural progression of things as it moves to the end. So if you could read to the end, would a chapter like this throw you off, or give you a moments pause. IDK - but thanks for telling me what you think,

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.

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

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.
