“Just wait a bit. I know you’re anxious to get on your way, but I’ve got some help coming.” “Help?” Drew asked suspiciously. His mother looked altogether too smug. “I called Anne. She’s working this evening. She’s rounding up the boys and sending them down. They’ve got a presentation tonight so both teams are up there.” “Boys?” Aria asked sounding nervous. “Rugby boys, love. They love a good tackle.” Drew groaned. “They love a good fight too, and that’s the last thing we want

Don't worry, next chapter is's Mam to the rescue, with some unexpected help

She's somthing

Well, she's not quite like Maggie Smith. I think Jay exaggerated a bit. But she's certainly...interesting.

I had great fun writing grandmother. I think she'll come as something of a surprise.

With Aria occupied in the kitchen and Amara dozing at his side, Drew took the opportunity to call Jeff. His friend was unrepentant at his part in the twins’ escapades. “Call me a romantic,” Jeff said with a throaty chuckle. “I’ll call you a bloody fool. What were you thinking? Amara could have made himself seriously ill, and Aria needs far more help than I can give.” The laughter dropped out of Jeff’s voice. “Is he no better then?” “I don’t know. It’s going to take a long time, J

The next chapter is a bit more dramatic. We don't exactly find out what goes on at the pub because their visit was cut short, but they certainly had fun

Um.... maybe not dating given that Cerrian is almost forty (although she doesn't act like it) and Jay isn't yet twenty. She's almost double their age - physically. Mentally, I think Jay is probably the more mature.

Haha, yeah. Poor Aria has been so attention starved and cooking together is very much a bonding exercise. I would imagine that she could have asked him to do anything and because they were working together he would have loved it. Actually, peeling potatoes is fun - the first couple of times

Don't worry, the story builds gradually and they have plenty of fun in the meantime

You're right to worry. This is a peaceful patch and it will liven up soon, but I think it's fair to say that at least for the next few chapters it will be difficult but more than they can handle - and it will be fun fun fun

Thank you!! Yes, Mam is a nurturing person and she's determined to be a mother not just to her own children, Aria and Amara, but Jay too and it's going to be interesting when they realise that. Jay has been even more alone than the twins. At least they have each other. Yes, there will be interesting times ahead

Oh for sure, Aria is a naturally loving and forgiving person. He's spent his lifetime trying to make his mother happy and wanting her to love him, he's not going to lose that overnight. However, his eyes are opened and he has more perspective. I think he'll be more like Amara, still vulnerable to her in some ways, but able to stand up and say "I'm me and you either accept me as I am or not at all." There might be tears behind it but he's definitely getting stronger as far as she's concerned. Yeah, Jay at a club. Don't forget this is the Welsh Valleys so it isn't going to be a nightclub or anything Jay will have gone to before. It's either a working man's club or a rugby club, or a mixture of both. Spit and sawdust Families will be a theme for a while.

Oh dear yes. Cerrian is definitely a force to be reckoned with as we will see in the next couple of chapters. She seems to have taken a liking to Jay You're welcome

No of course not Mind you, I can't comment. I've been breaking down all day over the Mars Rover. It's only a robot but it's broken me. It's last words were "My battery's dying. It's getting dark," or something along those lines. OMG Broken!

The twins are well and truly wanted now. I think it will take time for them to appreciate it and at some point they're going to have to go back to their other lives, but they'll take this time home with them. They've changed and they can never go back to the people they were. The trick for them will be to find a middle way.

There is a lot of hope, and I promise a happy ending, but in between there is plenty to come.

Yes. I think that's a key thing for Aria. Not just being loved but feeling wanted, needed and real

Haha! They've gone to the local rugby club so you might be right!! Mind you, Jay has their kicking boots on

Half an hour later, Drew went downstairs, leaving Amara asleep. They hadn’t got very far, defeated by Amara’s pain, but Drew was glowing, his footsteps and heart light. Amara was talented in more ways than one and it was clear he had experience to back it up. Drew shivered when he imagined what it would be like when Amara was well again. The sound of laughter stopped him half way down. It had been a long time since he’d heard Aria laugh like that, so unrestricted and free. The sight tha

I'm glad your like my other story. Thank you for saying so. It's important that I'm clear. Polyamorous relationships are absolutely not about cheating. All partners are fully aware of the situation and all discuss parameters so everyone knows where they stand. . It's not about one partner turning a blind eye while the other cheats. They're all in it together.

Thank you so much. I don't think I'm giving you any spoilers if I let you know that Jay plays a big part in the later chapters and will be in it until the end. I love Jay, too and I couldn't let them go

No. It is very possible for three (or more) people to have a loving sexual relationship with each other. Whilst there is often a primary couple (sometimes a married couple) and a third, that is by no means the only way it works. The dynamics between the people involved are as unique as the people. In the relationships I know of, one is a woman "married" to two men. They all live together and both men have sex with the woman, sometimes separately and sometimes together, and also with each other. Another relationship is three men who all share a bed and are always together, although sometimes it's just two at a time. The other is a woman who has four boyfriends. They all know about each other and sometimes double up. The final is a man whose boyfriends is part of a married couple. He never has sex with the husband although they are all friends and the husband knows everything. You see they're all different but they all work is not a case of watching someone you love having sex with someone else because your involved and often you love them both) all. So it wouldn't really matter if Aria is asexual or sexual as long as they figure out what feels right between them. Having said that to make things perfectly clear from the story point of view Aria will never have sex with Drew and the twins certainly won't have sex with each other.

Oops I didn't mean it to sound so sinister. It's good. All good for now. And you know me, no matter how much I torture my characters there is always a happy ending for those left standing

Thank you. It's kind of you to comment. The only thing I think you're wrong about is being able to love to people at once. I know a few people who are in polyamorous relationships that have worked very well over many years. The key is communication and being very clear about roles
