The hospital will have to report it, but in a small town like this with the sperm donor being who he is, nothing will happen.

Killian's sperm donor is going to be hot under the collar. I truly have not seen anything that would honor him with the name of dad or father. Have to admit, Killian asking questions will not be well received by many in his high school, too small town and to insular, protect the status quo.

Honestly, if there any creature with more capacity for stupidity and viciousness than the average American teenager, I would like proof that it exists.

Some really interesting characters, and well developed for only the first chapter, can actually visualize a couple of them fairly easily, and already know which ones we should all avoid.

Very powerful start, makes you want to know what happened, why, and how will it get better, or will it?

Let's hope that things come together for Ed. George is a good friend but needs to be careful that he doesn't lead this new friend on. Marie Louise will never learn.

Finely allowed his instincts to override his plans, it was instinctual, and not something he could help. He needs to be very careful how he handles telling Emmett that he is part of his hoard. Emmett understands that Finley is young, for a dragon, and his instincts can be stronger than he realizes. But to some extent, this has been Emmett's safe place, no one is going to react well to the thought of losing it. Lovely chapter.

Ack, another story to add to my ever growing list.

Vince is right, Graham seems to be gaining confidence, not only in his public speaking, but just his life in general as well. Matt is supportive and there, but not too there yet. Vince is starting to understand Graham better, and they are getting closer. I know it will not be a total surprise statement, but I am wondering if this is not what their father wanted when he set the will up about the Grange. Peter is helping Graham but also getting some exposure for the Centre and their mission. Graham has a website designer, and a fan as well.

Thanks for the round up, but here in Texas, our lows are still in the upper 70's and lower 80's. Wishing and hoping for some cooler weather and some rain.

Marc is smarter than most of the others, he realizes that Remy needs to be protected to some extent. Remy can deal with so much, but Anduin just throws him completely for a loop. Are we sure a fatal accident could not be arranged for Anduin and his mistress? Marc cares for Remy more than even he realizes. Wonderful chapter.

Will and Travis went to Brad and Jake, who then went to JP and Stef. Each pairing built on the information they had to get a better understanding of what they are facing. Talk about convoluted. Not even sure if ABC was this complicated. So, Fellows may or may not be gunning for the Serian mob, as in a takeover and going to war with them? The law firm could never go public; their involvement in all of this would have them under the scrutiny of both the Bar Association, the courts, and a whole lot more. But I do agree, our group needs the documents before the Serbian mob or anyone else gets them. Could the law firm be working with Fellowes to try and take over the Serbian mob? My mind is whirling. I know that most will not agree with me, but Jeremy is my favorite character of his generation. To have gone through everything he has survived and be functional as well as fabulous is a major miracle. That said, Kris is so good for him. I will need picture of what he does with the house in Manhattan Beach. I can so see him pulling this off spectacularly. I know his aesthetic is more refined than what Travis will want; but he understands Travis and will make the house a real sanctuary for him. @Mark Arbour, this story has just been brilliant from the start and can't wait to see how you bring it home.

What they cannot control they will seek to destroy.

And almost everyone lives unhappily ever after...

Rory's father is a total prat. Glad that Rory has Audra and Jock to help balance it out. Rory's friends stood by him, something we are all glad to see. Matthew was there for him as well. Gavin needs to realize that Matthew already at least suspects that something is on between him and Jason. Jason's article may lead to more than anyone realizes right now. Can't wait to see what develops next.

Marie Louise is still an idiot. Ed is probably guilty but maybe has extenuating circumstances that might help him. George Jr. might have a new friend.

Ah, so Frost's brother did perish, and in is twins' arms. Truly a tragic event and sounds as if Frost never really got the help he needed after that to deal with the ramifications of it all. Todd visited his old station, and just a hint that he might consider returning would make them happy and give him a quicker response to Bridge if something happened and to Frost if anything developed. Bridge is a tough old bird with a true heart of gold. And she sees and knows more than she lets on.

Marc will never be able to truly move forward until he finds some way to either come to terms with what happened with Michael or forgive himself what happened with him. Remy is trying to help, but their backgrounds or so different that they can't fully understand what lead to some of the actions of each of them. Just sad, yet with a tinge of hope.

Thanks for the update and insight.

Small world indeed, this could and will get messy way to fast.

Oh, a gay commune, never thought about that. The Rotary club will be all up in arms. LOL. Graham has got to stop worrying about saying things in front of Peter, he has dealt with his past and it is just that the past. Surely Peter realizes that he means nothing about him in his comments. Freddie is a real delight; glad he is handling all of these changes so well. And glad that he is willing to help keep Graham organized, not every teen at that age would consent to spending time doing that. Vince is right about Jacob, a certain distance is required, but friendly and pleasant is always a good thing. Matt has so much going on, but this little chat with Graham at the end of the day was nice, and shows that Matt is moving forward as well.

Wonderful chapter, so much going on with so many variables. Poor Henry, seemingly shunned by his own mother now. He feared that his reaction with Dante had made Dante mad at him. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dante cares for Henry as a little brother deeply. Dante must decide how he feels about Frank and how he is going to handle it. While Frank is clearly not a child, Dante could easily hurt him more deeply than even I think he realizes if he isn't careful. Sawyer is just a total flirt. Blaise confuses me. Mistress Alice and Valentine share a past, and Dante is right, the fact that all of these families grew up together knowing each other can complicate matters, but it gives you a sense of belonging. Good for Matthew.

We get a look at their past. The team suffered losses in civilian lives, but they saved way more than they lost. Sylvie is right, they are here and fighting the good fight, now to figure out why someone would want to stop them, or more likely monetize their abilities. Sometimes the world is just evil, but these guys are starting to realize that they can't save everyone, but doing the best they can do will be enough.

Marie-Louise worked fast, and Nelson got more than lucky. Is there any chance that Ed didn't do it? Or could he have just completely disassociated himself from the crime, doesn't necessarily show insanity but still.

Thanks for keeping these wonderful stories in front of us all, they all deserve another reading or two.
