FINALLY!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. At least for now, the CAP world is a happier place for me to be!!

My guess is that Alex didn't want to give Matt up and Wade can't figure out why he can't find a man to leant just him. That's how I'd feel.

Matt needs to have another epiphany. Wade wants/needs a committed strong solid relationship with a grown man who can share the responsibilities of fatherhood. I think Wade matured much faster than Matt partly because he became a father and embarrassed it. matt has very often commented how well he knows Wade. He has fooled himself into thinking that. He does not. Part of that is Wade's responsibility because he has never come out and told Matt what he wants/needs. He wants and needs a monogamous relationship at this point. He recognizes that most solid longterm relationships need an extremely solid foundation before opening it up to others. Otherwise you are inviting in over-night guests before the roof is even on the relationship house. Most of the time, that house is never finished. Some will say that he should just tell Matt that but I disagree. If Matt doesn't understand and get there on his own, it won't work either. Matt still has lots to figure out. He should be talking with JP, Stef and possibly Brad. Considering Brad's "friendship"(yuck!!!!!!! What a scum!!!) with Wade , he is probably not the best choice. Perhaps they can give him the advice he needs to see where Wade is coming from. I'm pretty sure Wade is not ready to share his heart with Matt in the way Matt wants. He shouldn't either. Maybe Matt will figure it out. If he gets there, they have a chance. Moving to Boston is the right thing to do. Their relationship is likely doomed if he doesn't.

I think that Brad has stepped so far over the line that he will be shocked at the consequences. Wade has done the same thing. They were both talking and consoling each other so they were both aware that Wade still has feelings for Matt. They are both completely aware how Matt feels about Wade. Matt is Brad's stepson, JP & Stefan's grandson, Frank & Isadore's grandson and Darius, Will and JJ's brother. Neither he nor Wade cared about the consequences to anyone else in the family He is a smart guy and so is Wade. Without any doubt, both Brad and Wade knew exactly how the others would feel if they found out, thus the hiding. If I read the hints that Mark has put in this chapter, this is not just fucking to feel better therapy anymore either. They are having a relationship. I would dearly love to see this come out in front of the whole family and for Brad especially to feel the betrayal and hurt and genuine sadness this will cause the whole family. I have been struggling trying to decide how JP will handle this so that the whole family doesn't disintegrate. I think this is the most profound betrayal that has occurred in this family and it was perpetrated but the one who had assumed the mantle of family leader along with JP and always purported to put the family first. What a load of crap. How are any of them going to trust him at all? His moral compass is so messed up right now. I think that there will be fireworks coming from many sources and I think that Brad will find himself cut off and alone from most if not all of his family because of this. Will is not the only one who will have had his foundation rocked. I think the Darius, JJ and Will trio should all confront him and tell him how they feel. After the crap Brad gave Isadore about the Billy situation, I think she should have a go at him too. Frank should have a double go at Brad because of Robbie and Matt. Brad is so morally corrupt, he disgusts me. I think JP and Stef will be so shaken by this that they may just stand there with their jaws dropped and watch the fireworks. I can't see anyone but Matt standing up for Brad. Matt is a very forgiving guy. He has shown it time and again. Sure he has a temper. He needs to vent. Some condemn him for hitting Brad. What a load of crap. Brad beat the shit out of his own brother and Robbie murdered someone. This doesn't even in the same ballpark. Bring it on Mark.!! I can hardly wait to see how the family reacts.

This is my first post to either the comments or forum for the entire CAP series. I faithfully read all the comments and have generally enjoyed reading all the points of view about the characters and events. However, since the Matt-Tony betrayal, I'm finding so many comments to be so far from my life experience that I feel the need to comment myself. I do not understand all the negative comments about Will's portrayal. He is not lacking maturity. He is a 15 year old teenager in grade 10. He is far more mature than almost any 15 year old I know. I remember being 15 struggling to grow up and looking back, I think he is far beyond the vast majority of other kids his age in the maturity category. In addition, I really like him. He has so many excellent qualities. I would love to have him as a friend. I also have real difficulty understanding all the comments about Will's reaction to Matt fucking with Tony. I realize that the CAP family moral standards are somewhat different than many but I see what Matt did as the ultimate betrayal. If I had a friend who did that to me, I would write them off completely and forever. If I had a sibling do that to me, it would be worse because you are supposed to be able to rely on them to have your back at all times with no questions asked. I'm actually disappointed in the entire group of them except for Brad and Darius. They should all be shunning Matt for what he did. Matt can NEVER be trusted and forfeited any right to expect any support from them. I am 100% behind Wade kicking him to the curb. He does not deserve a place at the table.

Started your story yesterday and read until almost dawn but couldn't finish chapters 18 and 19. Love the character development, the suspense and settings. Then I realized it's been months since chapter 19 was posted. Please tell me you haven't abandoned us!!!!!

Not Robbie!! Please not Robbie!!

Thanks CJ!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the story. Any chance for a follow up for Trevor and Shane?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I know there is an epilogue coming but what about a sequel starting sometime later in their lives? I'm not ready to lose my friends yet!!

I need more of all these characters story and somehow chapter 20 just doesn't feel like the end of the story.

Wonderful wonderful story!!! I feel Sammie's pain in a very personal way and it gives me hope that I can love again when my partners ordeal comes to an end.

Wow! Feeling so much after that.

Can't stand the suspense. Those three heartbeats had me worried. But despite the predicament they are in, I'm sure they can find a way out. In the mean time - Ding Dong The Witch is Dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found gayauthors.org less than a week ago. I looked around for a few minors and then decided to start reading Circumnavigation. I was completely hooked on the story and characters after just a couple of chapters. I read furiously until last including very late nights. Thrilled that Trevor found Shane. He just better not lose him. Late last night reading chapter 152, I realized there was no way the story could be wrapped up in only one more. I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE REMAINING CHAPTERS AND EPILOUGE. C James. I love your story and love your characters!!!!!!!!
