Chapter 19 – The Birthday Party
flesco commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 19 – The Birthday Party
Outstanding chapter! Holly’s birthday party was a success and the fact that she and Brittany spent a significant amount of time with the younger boys was really great. I am concerned about Aunt Sally’s medical issues, she’s as much a member of the Currie family as anyone else. I’m guessing that Danny and Brandon will mention this news to Josh who will move heaven and earth to aid her. Dion singing lullabies in the NICU and Trey telling nursery rhymes is very touching especially since the other children in the NICU were calmer and didn’t cry during the singing. I really like that Trey has begun assigning chores to the older boy’s to teach them responsibility, and how to handle household work like laundry and cooking preparing them for their future. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️ -
This is a very imaginative story that keeps you interested from the first few words. The storyline is complex and unique, the characters have an amazing depth to them that allows the reader to become engrossed in what is happening to them. The emotions are spot on and very believable. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking forward to an amazing Sci-Fi adventure well told. 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! Alex is suffering one of the hardest things that those in command experience, the loss of the lives of the people he sent to accomplish the mission. The military command schools spend countless hours explaining what the costs of command are. The fact that these losses were children only exacerbates the grief, anger, guilt and loss. Noah takes the finally takes the first step by kissing Alex. After the kiss Noah advises that Mac has ordered him out of his office for some time relaxing around the lagoon. Alex invites Noah on a date for a dinner for two. After the funerals for those who were lost in battle, Kelvedon Hatch announces that their attack on the aliens has failed and that their base compromised. The general says they will reach out when they reach their beta command base, communications are cut abruptly leaving everyone surprised. It appears that the fate of their survival now rests upon Alex and his team. Thanks for the new chapter and I hope that your writer’s block passes quickly. I am really enjoying this Intriguing story and the complex characters that you have created. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! Valentín took Lauti home with him on a motorcycle, which leads to spending the night together. Valentín showing his gallant side realizes that Lauti is not completely comfortable with the speed of their amorous and hormone driven escapades and assures his new boyfriend that he’s only going to go as far as Lauti is comfortable with. This really shows how deeply Valen cares for Lauti. Hormone driven teen males rarely can just stop. I have a great deal of respect for both of these young men as they have shown one another respect and responsibility early on. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! The new relationship was on the rocks due to misunderstandings by both boys. They each made assumptions about what the other was thinking. Young teens have very little emotional experience with romantic relationships and there’s almost always friction and fighting with each other until they get their feelings out into the open in order to make the relationship work. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! A chance meeting on the train between Lautaro and Valentín leads to an intense make-out session meeting Lauti’s mother and her driving Valentín home. There’s a new found relationship beginning for the two boys, but there’s also a great deal of uncertainty and fears of being discovered. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
-
Outstanding chapter! Lauti is confused about Noah and now Valentín and the kiss. How does Valentín go from hostility and outright hatred to demanding a very hot kiss? Can Lautaro figure him and himself out? I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😳😡

Excellent chapter! Forced to move to Argentina just before his senior year started due to his cheating father’s infidelity leaves Lautaro devastated without his best friend. This story has a great premise and a lot of potential. Please continue with the story. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃😡.

A truly enjoyable story from the first word to the last word. This story is full of hope, joy, happiness and love, in addition to sadness, abuse, anger, death and abandonment. A single gay man who was disowned and told to get out of his family’s home when he announced that he’s gay, goes on to create a business and a life he’s happy with. He becomes the sanctuary that a boy needs, when he needs it most. This event puts in motion a chain of events that create a truly unique and amazing family filled with everything that each member needs to excel and thrive.

Excellent chapter! A road trip is a great way to build bonds within a family, however, close quarters, fatigue and disagreements can fracture the best laid plans. I’m certain that Pete and Jimmy will set the tone and intervene if and where necessary. I’ve never heard of the kids planning an entire trip on their own before. I am curious to see how this works out. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! I’m happy that the construction was completed so quickly and that the family has made it home. Paul and the CPS lawyer contesting the adoption was ludicrous and blatantly illegal. Welcome to the family Alex! I’m also very happy for Donnie and Angela dating. Donnie is getting his CPA and we’re going to have to wait to see how this budding relationship develops. I’m glad that Billy and Al have joined in the fostering/adoption process. I think that they will be very happy and will enjoy the rewards of family life. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! There’s a lot of pain caused by Pete’s intolerable brother and parents, some of which spilled over onto Evie, Don and Donnie who were beyond loving and supportive. It’s very sad that the emotional pain caused by intolerance can spread throughout a family. I’m certain that Pete, Jimmy, Bobby, Butch and Alex never intended to cause Evie any pain and discomfort. Luigi offering the two upper floors of his building to Jimmy and Pete couldn’t have come at a better time. His love and supportive caring for his son and his family goes way beyond the norm. Once the construction is completed and the family moves into their new home, Pete and Jimmy can invite Evie and family to visit. I love this story, the complex characters and the realistic way that they interact with each other. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😢❤️

Outstanding chapter! Pete’s parents are a waist of chemicals and water, they clearly have no soul. Evie was horrified by her parents treatment of Pete’s children. Alex tried to get them to be reasonable to no avail and walked out on them. Religious zealots always forget that they’re forbidden to judge others and that they are required to love their neighbors as themselves. Translation: don’t judge others, and love everyone. It amazes me how short sighted these “good” christian people are, they will learn their lesson on their judgement day. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 🤬❤️

Excellent chapter! Trey and Dion are taking the care necessary to prepare for them to take TJ home once he’s gained more weight and the withdrawal symptoms have abated. This child could have a really difficult time for his early life, but this amazing family will be helping and supporting his growing pains. I sincerely hope that their are not any significant neurological concerns as this child develops. Having Josh, Danny and Brandon surely tips the scale toward a good and healthy life. The excitement of the boys about TJ and his health was truly touching. Everyone that has joined the family has experienced the total transformation of their lives through unconditional love and support through compassion , empathy and integrity. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! The boys are absolutely loving the tree house, they are spending as much time as possible and really enjoyed their sleep out. Xander is opening up and is starting to voice his feelings and opinions. He’s becoming a fully accepted member of the family. Another baby is coming to the family with Cole and Beth expecting in the spring. I’m looking forward to getting to visit with Shannon and Nick when Josh and Pop fly down to visit for a week. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! The road trip is over and Pete, Jimmy, Bobby and Butch are welcomed by Evie and her family, Michael Petes younger brother and Alex his nephew. They’ve all very happy to see him. Alex is the son of Paul and is mistreated by his father. Alex would love to live with Pete and his family. Next comes Pete’s parents. Hmmm... I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! I’m glad that there’s an investigation into the police officers involved with the sex offender, I really hope that they are convicted and incarcerated for a really long time. It’s very nice that when Pete reached out to his sister that she was supportive and invited the family to visit. She clearly told him that his older was wrong. Road trips are always exhausting and you can never be sure what kind of reaction you’re going to get when staying in hotels/motels. Bigotry is very much alive and quite prevalent. Typically the more expensive the hotel/motel the more likely you will encounter bigotry. It’s very sad, but is still happening every day. The reunion between Pete and his sister will be inspiring I believe. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! Butch being harassed buy the landlord at his mothers funeral is just disgusting, I am glad that he laid the bastard out. Pete contacting Texas about an outstanding warrant for being a pedophile led to his conviction and demise. Don’t Mess With Texans! I’m hoping that the police officer providing protection was, fired arrested and convicted also. There’s nothing worse than a cop who facilitates crimes against children. The new family is now free to move forward and live their lives in peace. I love that Luigi is supportive of their relationship and with the community at large. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😢

Outstanding chapter! Butch is overwhelmed by his mother’s condition, loss of the family’s apartment, a new school, a new guardian and a new younger brother. In addition he was told goodbye by his mother who said she would watch over him. This is an awful lot of stress for a boy of 13. Pete, Jimmy and Bobby are doing everything that they can to offer love and support during this extremely traumatic time in his life. Jimmy being invited to move in, shows that Pete is committed to the relationship and wants to share this new found family life with him. Pete has already committed to adopting Butch if his mother doesn’t survive. Luigi, Fred, Billy and Al will all support them. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😢❤️

Excellent chapter! Pete and Fred were visiting and talking about what it’s like to be a father, Bobby was having lunch with Jimmy at Luigi’s restaurant. Jimmy turned up at Pete and Bobby’s home with Butch a homeless teenager asking them to allow Butch to stay while his mother is in the hospital. They agreed and a relationship between Pete and Jimmy has begun. Butch is afraid that his mother won’t survive, Pete, Jimmy and Bobby are doing everything that they can to help. The priest at their church is bewildered by the second boy until he’s given the full picture. I’m afraid that Butch will be a permanent addition to this amazing family. I know Bobby will be able to comfort and support his new brother since he has already been through his own losses. I still am loving this story, and I am definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😢❤️

Outstanding chapter! This new family is now officially sanctioned by the court granting the adoption and Bobby taking Pete’s last name. The celebration at Luigi’s restaurant with the entire family and staff was truly amazing. Bobby has taken it upon himself to set his dad up with his friend Jimmy. Pete has come to the realization that he’s interested in Jimmy who is also interested in him. Bobby and Jimmy have been working together to make Pete notice Jimmy. We’ll get to see how successful they are in future chapters. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Excellent chapter! I was a bit concerned with Pete going to work and leaving Bobby home alone. He fortunately let Andy the doorman know that Bobby would be alone. Once he finished for the day he’s concerned when he doesn’t find Bobby right away, he found him asleep in Petes bed saying that he missed him. Pete decides to bring Bobby to work with him rather than leave him alone at home. Since Pete is the owner no one will argue if he brings his son to work with him. I am glad of this decision since a 9 year old boy no matter how mature is just too young to be left home alone. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
-
Outstanding chapter! The new family is coming together to work in the church’s soup kitchen offering hot meals to homeless and in need people. This is an excellent opportunity for Bobby to learn about service to others while making friends and boosting his fragile self esteem. When all you have been told is that you are worthless eventually you believe it. Thankfully his mother instilled her beliefs and morals before her death, so there is a strong foundation upon which to build back his belief in himself and his pride in what he is capable of doing. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
-
Excellent chapter! Pete and Bobby are bonding and with his circle of friends, now uncle’s a family is developing that includes service to others and feeding the ducks. Pete has managed to create a pretty well balanced life for Bobby, he will absolutely need to feed Bobby more than pizza and burgers. It’s still very early in this relationship but nutrition is always important despite the fact that kids hate anything good for them. I really am enjoying this story and the characters you’ve created, each of them has depth, history and is likeable in their own way! Thank you for this amazing story! I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️

Outstanding chapter! Pete is proceeding as though Bobby will become his son. Bobby is acting like Pete is already his Dad. Fred knows how to handle this situation and I’m certain that everyone will be happy together. Bobby is overwhelmed by the generosity of Pete with new clothing and a laptop computer of his own. Pete’s circle of friends seem supportive and caring. Thankfully since Fred is a Lawyer which will hopefully keep Child Services and their bureaucratic processes at bay. I’m definitely looking forward to the next chapter! 😃❤️
