And Ellie for the win!!!!! Wow, that was intense.

We don't know how long ago Brett figured it all out. We have no idea what's going on inside Brett's head

We don't know how long ago Brett figured it all out. We have no idea what's going on inside Brett's head

The only problem with that is the fact that in the beginning he didn't know if he wanted to or not....nobody knows if they're going to be into it the first time...you can havean idea that you might like it but you never know for sure

So many people said that Josh and Kevin from TJ should be together. Let me know.

A good lawyer is lined up, we'll meet him next chapter. Thanks for your review! There are Rachels everywhere. Kevin does sound nice huh? We're going to learn more about him in the next few chapters. Thank you for reading and reviewing! We'll see what I can arrange about a meeting with Mel and Rachel. Like I said earlier, Amber is Jenny's Jiminey Cricket. Kevin and Josh..... That's all I'm' saying. Thanks for reading. Glad you enjoyed it! Sorry that I didn't cover Mel plans this time around. I was going to include the conversation at home in this chapter, but by the time I got there it was already over 7,000 words. I promise to explain more next chapter. I thought TJ deserved these friends after what Scott did to him. Thanks for the review! We don't need to worry about Mechel-they won't team up. I write as fast as I can, between work, sleep,and editing other's stories I don't have too much free time to write lately. But, I'm working it in. I'm happy you found this story. I have lots of plans for these characters. We're going to follow them till after graduation, and probably beyond. I'm also thinking about a spin-off told from Josh's POV. Thanks for the review! Dude! Shhhhhh! Not so loud, But, it's not what you think exactly. You're almost on the right track. Thanks for the review! In order for Mel to have a change of heart, there needs to be a heart there to begin with. Rachel's on the warpath, only now she can't do any direct attacks. We'll see what happens. Kevin and Josh seem to be a popular idea....hmmmm we'll see. As far as court goes, they are in Texas and Texas favors mothers 9 times our of 10 regardless of past circumstances. Glad you're along for the ride now! Thank you so much Gary. I don't think you fully understand how much your positive words affect me. You are one, if not number one, of my favorite authors around here. I'm so happy we've become what tim and I called "online friends." These are the people who we know only through our screens, but they are special to us still.

I know Park is tired and injured....but I miss my funny, sexual-pun-throwing, butt-ass-crazy-about-Ritch Park. Great job!

I love writing the scenes for Jenny. As far as Josh goes, I've said itbefore and I'll say it now, Josh is probably the most level headed character and the strongest (Amber might give him a run for his money)

The only problem is that in the State of Texas, family court favors the mothers about 90% of the time regardless of the circumstances.

Thank you for your help

You can say that again!

I'm not sure about the Kevin/Josh thing.....think about it Kevin is about 6'2"-6'3" weighs about 250 pounds of muscle. Josh is 5'7" and weighs about 140 pounds. Kevin would break Josh. lol I thought about them getting together....then thought no....then went back to yes. We'll see what happens. Amber does a good job of being Jenny's Jiminy Cricket. Mel might have had a change of heart you never know.

TJ Chapter 4 “Josh, what’s wrong?” I walked over to him. His face was red and streaked with tears. I pulled him into a hug and turned to Robert. “What’s going on?” “Mel called while y’all were out. She told me wanted to see Josh. I refused. I told her she hurt him enough the first time she left and I wouldn’t let her do that again. She told me to expect a call from her lawyer. She’s going for full custody.” Josh sobbed into my chest. “Why would she do this, Teej?” “I don

That's from Chapter 1...He said from the beginning "I can't"

Darn you Gary....I'm crying now. Great Job bub! Looking forward to next week.

Thank you for the compliments y'all! I only make suggestions, Jim chooses rather or not to follow them. I only take his ideas and suggest ways to make it easier to read.

Brett wouldn't know because he doesn't know who his father is. Jenny won't tell him. Jenny (and possibly Joey's parents) is (are) the only one(s) who know(s) the truth.

Great Job!!! I'm looking forward to the next installment, but not liking the implications the title suggests. I guess I'll wait......patiently....(patience is a virtue and I've never claimed to be virtuous).

This must have been a hard chapter for you to write. My thoughts are with you always.

Corey won't even give Bret the chance to say anything to him. Yes, Corey's hurting right now, but we don't know that Bret isn't. We don't know what's in Bret's head. We only know what's in Corey's head. Right now, it's easier for Corey to deal with the pain by looking at Bret as the enemy. And I had a friend while I was in high school/first year of college who I messed around with as often as possible (we lived 6 hours away from each other, we started messing around when I was 12 and lived down the street from him), he decided he was straight my freshman year of college didn't know how to tell me. He still had sex with me one last time before he told me. I know what Corey's going through.

Thank you thank you thank you! The Supreme Court ruling that laws prohibiting same-sex marriage is unconstitutional is not the same as the Court deciding that same-sex marriage is legal. The difference is explained in a scene I just finished writing for TJ.

I'm certain that Bret loves Corey, in his own way. He just doesn't know how to tell him that. Bret's trying to figure out his sexuality. He's also slowly realizing how badly he effed up.

Why was Graham at the station? How did he know to go there? Did Lovett call him when he left the room?

oh yeah, I meant to tell you that you were right here..,,.passed is the verb form

Awww thank you Poppa Gary
