    Chapter 8

    I think it's important to note that 30 years ago, it was a lot more normal to keep adoptions hush hush. Woman would pretend to be pregnant or disappear and return with baby. Adoption is a lot more open nowadays. But there's a lot of people my age (36) and older that have some emotional horror stories from all the secrets. I'm glad it's been normalized. My youngest is adopted and its nothing like it used to be. Everything is an open book. With that said, I'm still upset with how the parents handled it. They didn't set anyone up for success. They were blinded by their own need and desire

    You handled this so much better than me. My characters would not have communicated as well as yours. Kuddo's. You're a better writer than me lol
  3. I can't post the story without posting chapter one. Or, I can't figure out how to anyways... eta: nevermind…I see what you mean now

    Well, that escalated quickly!! Poor Kim. My heart cannot even fathom what that had to have been like. I wonder if there is enough therapy in the world do be normal after that kind of ordeal.

    Ahhh, thank you. I agree, I will miss them but I’m happy they will live on!
  7. Triplets?!! Man…things are escalating
  8. I hope. I like the name James better. No offense to the John’s reading. John is a proud name. Very strong… I’ll leave now…
  9. They definitely looked at Matt's age and made assumptions. They also played Seamus. They knew they could intimidate him, why else slam him with lawsuits? Intimidation. That's why. And it was working, except Matt would have none of it. He could see past the smoke and mirrors. Thank God.
  10. Praise to Matt for not letting things go quietly into the night. I agree that Seamus needs to give it a rest, but I'm also glad that he got to see Matt take charge and see first hand that there was nothing to worry about. Seamus has been through a lot in his past, it's hard to let certain insecurities go.
  11. Technically, Aidan would be little baby's uncle (since he is Matt's brother biologically). But in every sense of term, and in accordance with the law of the state, as well as the law of emotion and family dynamic, Aidan is the big brother.
  12. Is that all?
  13. It's me. That people is me.
  14. It’s honestly pretty close to finished. The only hold up is that we’re hosting my nephews graduation party this weekend and trying to get everything done in time is kind of hectic. SO doesn’t handle the stress of prep well, so I’ll be coming in clutch…emotional support lol.

    Chapter 6

    I kind of wondered if this craziness was drawn from personal experience!! Either that or it’s what you wanted your life to be like 😉
  16. The epilogue is almost finished and there’s so much in it. I do think you’ll be happy
  17. Thank you for being there. Your input has been invaluable.Thank you for being there. Your input has been invaluable!
  18. Seamus took a deep breath as Matt came to him. His closeness was welcoming but did little to calm the anxiousness coursing through his veins. Matt cupped his face, then ran his hands down until they were on his chest. The touch was infinitely better than the close proximity. Matt waited until Seamus looked at him before he spoke. “What’s not good?” “Mike is suing me.” “Suing you? What the fuck for?” Seamus pulled out a chair and dropped into it. “Honestly, I don’t fucking kno
  19. Thank you! I may be partial but I do think this is a great story. I hope you enjoy it

    It should be coming soon. Honestly, I needed to do a re-write and I was really struggling with it. Good news, I think it finally came to me and I'm actually working on it right now.

    Chapter 5

    I think you meant to say: Anything but coconut: 1 Coconut: Infinity Glad I could clear that up for you. I also can't say much more. The secret handshake is giving me anxiety. I'm sitting here watching the shoe rise. It will soon block out the sun, before crashing down. It's all very terrifying.
  24. I'm now determined to work this word into my vocabulary on the daily. Watch for it in my next story. I will make it happen.

    Plot Twists

    I think the groundwork is CRUCIAL. I've read so many stories where the author is overly obvious about what's coming and they beat the clues to DEATH. When the plot twist finally comes, you've already been watching it from a distance, it no longer adds to the story. IMO. My favorite stories are the ones where the author keeps it so simple. Lay it, water it, but leave it alone for the most part. Small details that make you think and wonder. I hate being told. I want to use my brain! I want my imagination to be challenged.
