Benji

.......................Great chapter, the get together was a great way of introducing the characters to the readers, was the absence of Wesley really due to illness or was the parental pastors checking out the home of Jam? Is the Irish pronunciation of Seamus (Sham - mus? or Seam us?) curious as I think I've heard both. School should be interesting since Jam and Phillip are a bit out, I wonder if that may be the reason for their first argument?

.............I agree Blu and Kyle dance around each other and not with each other, Chipmunk brought out the jealous mode for Blu. And unbeknownst to clueless Kyle, Kyle all but extinguished that little Chip moment. Kaleb's and Kyle's parents are really something else, wouldn't it be wonderful if Nan knew them in school in the past, in a polite social circle I'm sure, she could bring those parents down the ladder back to the first rung! Another great chapter!

............. Haha, I see the complaints paid off, now we have 3 gay couples intertwined in the story! Since 5 years have gone past, I'd guess the danger from the cartel is over. The fitted science lab should have garnered a lot more attention from the academia of the Science community, I'd think even being sought out from universities around the world for charters. That said, I'm sure they will make use of it somehow. Well we got right into the problems associated with charters not knowing about the unruly and sometimes bigots passengers, its up to Jasper, but he should follow Anton's instincts or allow the 'guests' a pass since they are not on board yet? Great chapter!

...................Wow, I loved the way you ended this chapter! I would hope that some of Ian's family might show up pretty soon. At least those that didn't feel the same as the father. I don't remember if he had siblings or not.

...............Great chapter! Vic Gay? Nope, didn't see that one coming either.

..............Actually the video is new to me, the song really grabbed my attention some time ago.

.................Maybe too soon, but how about Aber Run's I found;

................ I liked it, a great chapter freeing Kay of all his angst, finally breaking and giving that public kiss he has been floating to himself since he met Jake. Maybe he can relax more now when he is publicly around Jake and also loosen up more at home. He also needs to intro Jake to his family, that will seal his coming out.

...............Hey, some parts bring back memories, I too remembered the many times I dialed a phone number, reacted to a shared TV program calling out that it was on. Took me at least a year to stop picking up the phone to dial that number. Once 20 years ago and another 5 years ago, with too many other times in hospice and hospitals to count. I'm a little leery of Rob, I don't know why but I am, nice chapter!

............No I haven't, to be honest I was quite active here in GA a few years ago, but after some complications it took me awhile to get back in here, but I'll look up the story and read it!

.............Awww! The entire chapter was cute, Phillip and Jam together sounds like fun (how quickly Benji is kicked to the side ) Oye, an Irish lad is moving in the neighborhood, are you springing a trap for someone? Is Benji going to visit the dark side? Oh well this Benji always loved a bit of Irish cream in the morning!

.................Yikes, that is a different direction, Leukemia! Well at least he has his father if 'grafts' are ever needed. (I had forgotten that a dog ripped off my name ) Hey, I thought Benji was going to be an old teacher?? Not a hot looking potential BF for Phillip or Jam! Nice chapter!

.......................Hmmm, I don't know about that, Alex is still iffy to me. Besides you'd destroy the entire story that way!!

........................Totally disappointed in Sue, just when she started to grow a pair she crawled back to Don's corner. Don is doubling down, will the church people pay a visit? Don is still is worried about his image, he showed Robbie off around to his buddies when he first arrived like he was a prize worthy of Don's pat on the back. Now Robbie has ruined that image of the 'Cleaver' family home with Robbie being a homosexual, so Don cannot allow it to be publicly known around town as Sue pointed out. Leave it to Nathan to stick a subtle knife in Don's back, with a reminder of the 'couple' Daniel is getting much better and I can see it from this POV. this is good for Robbie as he will need the allies of Nicola and Daniel in the coming months. Great chapter

....................Well we all know that Aussies have everything backwards, that's why they are down under! They think in unlike terms such as a train station is a place of trains and a cattle station is a place of cattle, simplistic, yet so Aussie! Nice story, I guess we will learn more of Bas later, as his mood was ruined by his cousins mouth (of course, his cousin picked that up from...most likely his parents).

.................No thanks, I spent way toooo much time in hospital waiting rooms, and they never ended good. Did I miss something? Didn't the nurse initially say only immediate family could visit and excluded Cam? Yet Cam was allowed in with no problem. F'ing Jack, now no swimming for a few days while they have to drain the pool and refill, them Jack's are always troublesome! Great chapter!

...........Believe me, I already did!

.................Only if DQ doesn't kill Benji off!

..................Hmm, I like the name of DQ simple to pronounce and spell. Would make a hell of a character name!

...........But, but the last two stories that used my name, the characters were killed off!!

............... The 'gay' issue was resolved, the reason for his leaving the town was not! During my week off, I stayed at home and spent my time, getting to know Angela and Tom better, and I let Angela know that I now felt that I am Bisexual instead of Gay, as I had strong feelings for her, and moments later with a big smile, “Well in that case, would you do me the honour of being my husband” Angela said to me as we sat in her back yard, watching Tom swimming in the pool, “And be my dad too” Tom added, which made Angela and I laugh.

..........................That would be quite a petty reason for Tom to leave Drew, after all haven't been together for some time? Jam's jealousy didn't trigger Drew's memory enough to look at the possible larger picture. Nice chapter, looks like Jam and Philip might need to talk (no straight boy is going to describe to his friend about the 'cute' boy that just moved next door) is Philip trying to be coy here?

..........Well I enjoyed this story, Mitch has his family and his life go forward with. His home town knows he saved it, and in the back ground you have one word against the other I doubt Dave will have any supporters after this. Great story!

..........Agreed, Mitch should of had immediate response from the town, announcing he had a wife and children to appease the locals was a slap in the face of his professional skills and rank. Dave may face being ostracized by the town now that word gets out on Mitch and how he organized a quick control of the firestorm.

.........Err, I think she said she was DUE in 7 months! “Yes and we will have another one in about 7 months’ time” Angela said to me, and it took me a moment to realize what she had just said, “Oh that is wonderful news too, when did you find out?” I replied as I sat down next to Angela and gave her a big hug. “I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, while Aunty Jean looked after the boys. I have suspected for a few days, once I had recovered from the jetlag” Angela said.
