Because it IS cute. Absolutely adorable

That's a very good point. But Wade and Matt already have two kids of their own (+ Ethan) to take care of, so how much time will Wade have to fly to England and look after Alex's son?

Rob appreciating male ass is nothing new as Eagle-eyes pointed out in the forum. As to whether it will lead to anything, time will tell (or not). Re cliff hanger, see my reply to Caz. Feel free to dream, but if Rob won't lead girls on he's certainly not going to do it to a guy. Plus Nelson would not be amused.

How could you? How could you do this to Ty, the Leopards, Peter and us? Putting him out of the team with a knee injury in such a non-important tackle? How are they going to win the finals now? Let's not pretend the brat can be absent, he is the best player of the Team and as important as Roger. Arrrrrgh And the worst thing is now I don't even want the Blues to draft him, because I want the Leopards to win the finals with the brat on the team. I may forgive you if Ty's injury is less than first assumed, letting him play the final. The only good thing about this chapter was Dave getting some relief from the arrest, and the way they sent that stupid AFL scout packing. But of course this won't last either... Because the trial looms in the horizon. Together with non-stop rain since this morning you managed to ruin my Saturday.

I couldn't help wondering whether JJ tried to call Brad first, but was ignored. But then I realized I was being unfair to Brad. In this situation he would have dropped everything and come to JJ's rescue, just like Will did. JJ simply did not wish to call Brad, and very understandably too, because Brad didn't like JJ's relationship with Alex and he would have been pleased it was over, even if he'd been furious at the method. Even a perky Will is preferable to a I-told-you-so Brad. Of course I loved the image of Will as a Knight in shining armor. Concerning Brad's jet I think it was simply his way of trying to keep track of Will and JJ and to curb any silly shopping spree by Will. He probably assumed that if it was important, they would either have contacted him in advance or have no problems with the charter needing his approval. Obviously, he's still unable to understand how Will functions, but in this case it was a wonderful opportunity for Will to spend money in order to piss off Brad. And I can just imagine him saying (self-righteously as only Will can, lol) "Well, if you hadn't restricted the access to your private jet, Dad, I wouldn't have had to spend all this money." I'm not going to speculate on Zach and the break-up. Mark's mind is too devious for me, and I trust Will to find out what's happening and find a solution. And it was nice to see Will acting that bit more maturely, and I guess something good might have come out of the whole Tony deal, though it pains me to say so. I hope Wade discards ME and Alex once and for all, and throws his lot in with JP's family. Or he could argue ME is now part of Alex' family ahd therefore no longer worthy of consideration as a Danfield. Will is going to need Wade, and Matt will want to help JJ, so this aligns nicely. Having Wade snub him as a dishonorable and weak ex-friend will hurt Alex as much as losing JJ.

I may come to regret the cliff hanger even more than you, because I have absolutely NO idea what happens next. So it may take a while for me to write ch. 35. I agree that it's important for the four of them to be friends, it makes it a lot easier for Nelson and Eric. And Rob can go to college knowing there are two great guys looking aout for his brother.

Well, I was happy to see my other readers enjoyed it too.

You're the only one so far to ask about the kindergarten story. I may try to write about it at some point. So the naked soapy hot bods didn't distract you from the conversation?

Thank you, glad it worked for you too. Teen romance is so difficult to write, so I'm always when my readers like my efforts. Only Nelson gets a first person POV, everyone else is written in third person POV. I don't know why, it just happened that way.

Why Caz, are you saying you approve of Rob's plan ? Well, it may work out, we shall have to see when I get that far. I got distracted in the next few chapters.

LOL. I think Carlos was disappointed Rob didn't do a CJ and thump the idiot, but I decided to give Jazz a chance to shine. Glad you liked it.

How could you forget Kyle and Eric and Will's broken nose? It was the incident which led to one of the most painful moments in CAP when Will once more was betrayed by someone in his Family (his Grandmaman and Claire). But at least Brad was there for Will, standing up for him - one of Brad's finer moments. If Will wants to salvage his relationship with Zach, he should stay away from Tony - hell he should stay away from him in any case. It seems to me whenever Will gets involved with Tony in any way it fucks him up - including his relationships with others. I want him to write off Tony as anything but an old acquaintance he's polite to when they meet. Sorry, but I hate Tony.

YAY another book lover lol the banging of heads and does occur to me at times when writing Rob chapters. and now you're making me miss Irri, because she would be right there with you about Rob and Jazz. But you may be surprised about the redhead

Well, don't expect me to always be this productive, although I have to admit your enthusiastic reviews and comments in the forum do inspire me to keep writing. All authors thrive on feedback and I'm lucky to have many GA friends responding to my stories. Anyway, I'm glad I fulfilled your expectations about why Eric did not come out to Rob earlier. It made sense to me. I would like to add that not only does Rob feel entitled to meddle in Eric's life, but he expects Eric to meddle right back. Ignoring Rob would make him unhappy, and Eric taking an interest is important. Baseball is the prime example so far.

Thanks Gary, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been having difficulties with writing Rob for a while, trying to balance the carefree, fun guy with the caring brother who appreciates Eric. I hope I managed it here.

Thanks Caz, I did luck out with this chapter, all my hungry birds liked it. I'm glad you liked the crucial part of Nelson dealing with Eric's insecurities, it was important to me to get it right, so it came across as real and true.

LOL. donuts twice in one day is OK with you too? Glad you don't think they are getting intimate too fast.

Somehow I knew you'd like that scene, Caz. Hope you enjoy the sequel too.

Great review, Isaac. I love how you identify the important points. The brotherly affection becoming clearer and how Eric can help Rob and not just the other way round. Rob may have ignored Eric's opinion at first, but he would have taken a closer look at Melanie rather than letting matters slide and staying in an empty relationship. I'm still not sure about Rob expressing admiration for a male ass. Is he doing it to tease, to show Eric he's cool with 'gay stuff', or does he actually appreciate male beauty? Perhaps time will tell.

That is a very astute observation. Eric teasing Rob is noteworthy and signals his growing confidence and a more relaxed attitude. And Rob telling Eric he respects his opinion was important. They need to gradually become more equal as brothers and friends. The age difference still plays a role, but it will disappear eventually. Thank you for reviewing.

Thanks CG, I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully, Eric is slowly working out that voicing his concerns and wishes is better than hiding them. Not only in relation to Rob, but even more so with Nelson. Communication is a must in a relationship - not all the time, but keeping quiet about important matters is stupid. I'm speaking from experience here. I'm not sure we'll ever get as far as the prom, but whatever happens, Rob is likely to do well. That boy is destined to come out on top in every situation.

So simply having Rob dominating a lot of the chapter is no longer enough ? He has to be naked too? Jeez this is going to be difficult. You will have to revisit ch. 32 for your Robgasms. Did you get the joke without the footnote? I wasn't sure whether I could leave it out. But hopefully it can be ignored if unnecessary.

Well, is she evil or simply not too smart and sort of uncaring about others? In any case, Rob doesn't seem to heartbroken.

Thank you - I wouldn't be able to write this without your first line prompts to inspire me, so I'm delighted you approve. I was worried I'd run out, but the most recent ones have worked well. So keep them coming, please.

Yes, I think you're right, LOL. I laughed so much when I wrote the start of this chapter. I'm glad you caught the painful incidence of being told to buy nice clothes. Eric and Nelson have to snatch those sweet moments together whenever they can.
