Interesting start when I first started reading I thought of CriminalMinds one of my favorite shows. I like the relationship between Michael and Patrick because Patrick is trying to get his friend to see he isn't living. Doing your job and taking care of your son isn't living. I feel like this first chapter was telling instead of being home with his son, he is working which tells me that he doesn't have that bond with his son that his wife wanted him to have. He's there for him and he loves him but because he is in an emotional state of denial he can't really be the father that his wife asked of him. He loved his wife that if evident in his thoughts but he is stuck in a moment of time that will destroy him.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

One thing is for sure, if Monica was so "stable" in her relationship with Jake she sure as hell wouldn't need to get I to Sierra's like some insecure school girl. Sierra has done a lot to herself which took Jake down a path of having to watch someone that he loved/loves go down a path of self destruction. He's not over Sierra and until he admits it to himself he will continue to fight the urges when it comes to her. I'm not liking Monica in this story because Sierra is working on herself not getting to anyone's face about Monica getting her man. Monica so needs to wake the F*** up because if she was so secure about Jake, Sierra wouldn't even be a factor. But not only is Jake letting Sierra in but so is Monica. Looking forward to the next chapter.

This is one hot cast looking forward to seeing how they interact with each other. Can I be the meat in that sandwich of David and Dominic?? I promise to not get to you his feelie. Lol

Interesting turn of events, I glad that Lance tried to support Nina in a way that would t crowd her. It's truly a shame that Lance doesn't think more of himself because of his family being dead and him still alive. The question remains why is he punishing himself in which he is not really living but is alive. Looking forward to learning more about the demons that haunt him. And what secrets does Nina have. Another great chapter. 

Very interesting way to introduce Nina and Lance to each other. Sure Nina being attacked wasn't the best way for them to introduce themselves but they seem to be each other's saviors. I guess what Nina almost went through hasn't really kicked I. Yet since she seems to be more worried about Lance food then what almost happened. I guess when the high wears off she will begin to to process what almost happened. Looking forward to the next chapter.  

Can I say that Rita is my new favorite person because unlike everyone else trying to hold her hand and make decisions for Natalia, she was honest the kind of honesty that Natalia needs to hear. Because maybe just maybe she will begin to deal with those unresolved feelings of lost, love, and honesty within herself.

Of course Jamison's mother would want to talk about this fake engagement, of course she would want to throw an engagment party and a grande wedding. Of course she would say that she will let them make that decision, but lets be real Jamison is like his mother forceful. So I don't see that lasting too long.

So Joelle in her reply to me was talking about the wonderfulness that is Jamison. Unlike her I don't like the guy nor do I think he is prince charming in any type of way. He is so in denial that he would rather force Natalia into something knowing that their relationship isn't going anywhere, knowing that she isn't as happy as he wants to believe, and knowing that she feels guilty as it is, he uses that to get her to go to therapy? Really? Is this dude for real.

But the one thing that I am grateful for is that Natalia is seeing Jamison for who he is. She thinks he is her in away but I think he is nothing like her if he isn't willing to see that maybe he is with Natalia not because he loves her or really wants to be with her but because he sees himself in her then maybe he needs to stop be ignorantly blind and open his eyes.

So now that I know Anthony is getting his life together even though he might not be living his life like Rita would like, I hope Natalia goes to the party to see him. Because they seriously need to talk, then need to have a conversation that they haven't had. Yelling, and being emotional can't get you to the root of things when guilty in a factor pushing you to wanting to know the truth but not ready to hear it. And I love how Natalia was a little hurt that Anthony hasn't contacted her, she showed more emotion in that conversation with Rita then in the last 5 months with those surrounding her. Didn't she want a clean break from Anthony, didn't she want him to move on with his life, didn't she want him to live? Because her reaction showed me that she might be able to fake it with everyone else including her own head but her heart knows the truth. And maybe therapy will do her some good, especially if Jamison gets to hear the truth for once and have to deal with it.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

PS: Yes I will always have a shoulder for Anthony. You got me rambling about this chapter. Love it!!!

Pay back comes on the form of Natalia F***in Anthony and letting Richard know. And now that you have given me a glimpse into this story I want more, I want to see her pregnant, I want to see Richard see his son be a man and then I want Richard to have a stroke because those that you keep in the closet always come to light. Great short story!!!

Wow, that was deep!!! I have to say in some twisted way revenge was over powered by a choice to love a baby that she has always wanted. Given the fact that she thought through all her options and didn't take the cowards way out by not having it, by not putting it up for adoption, by not telling the father she has chosen the path to rectify her pain and anger which lead to a twisted revenge plot. Looking forward to seeing this tale unfold. Thanks for another amazing chapter.

So I am very proud of Natalia for being honest about being married and engaged. But I think she isn't helping herself any by wearing that ring so that people can "think what they want." Because Jamison's mother seems like she will be planning and Natalia will have to either go along with it or tell the truth. Now if she could be honest with herself, I feel like she likes who Jamison represents not so much Jamison.

Maybe it's me, maybe I just have no tolerance for BS but Jamison annoys me for so many reasons. (It has nothing to do with me wanting Anthony and Natalia together.) But if he knows that Natalia hasn't spoken to her sister in months why the hell would he think she knows how Natalia feels. Push come to shove he probably knows everything there is to know about Natalia and the fact that he wants her to perpetrate a fraud by wearing that ring says a lot about him to me. Why would he have her wear a ring when he knows she is t ready. I feel like he is no better than Richard because even though Richard was all about keeping her a secret, Jamison is all about making his family believe something rather than Natalia. He might say he wants to take things "slow" but I don't believe him. 

Looking forward to the next chapter. 

PS: What's Anthony up too? I want to make sure that he doesn't need my shoulder to cry on.

This was a great chapter. I am glad that Anthony wants to know more about his father and that Natalia gave him the space to make that decision. I had a feeling they were going to have twins and a boy and a girl at that. I loved that Natalia was still apprehensive about being pregnant until she fully understood the words coming out of the doctors mouth. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Wow this was one very powerful and heartfelt chapter. Rich feeling like a wondering soul made me truly feel for him because even though he has tendencies to be douchey at times he was protecting his brother from not only the truth but then had to reveal Otto protect him from the mother that loved a man more than her own son.

Then you have Natalia stuck within the middle trying to give Rich hope of a relationship with his brother and best friend. But also needing and wanting to be their for Ant. I love the fact that she was honest and told him that she knew and that she wanted him to know but thought it was Richards truth to tell. Ant might have been angry with her but she had a point it was his parents responsibility to tell him and those two fools failed him.

Ant needing time to digest what Natalia had told him had me holding my breath but when he let her hold him and he began to open up about the man that was his father, I knew he had made progress in the right direction. How could Mercedes not keep those things for Anthony? Because let's be real she and Richard surely didn't last too long and Anthony had a right to those letters. I'm not sure I want to know what happened to Anthony's bio dad because that's just another loss for him to handle. 

The end scene where he wasn't going to sleep without hearing Natalia loved him was something he will need for a while to know that he is loved. And like Natalia I pray there is a baby and that Richard didn't take another person away from Anthony to punish him for his mother and his own sins.

looking forward to the next chapter not looking forward to the end of this amazing story.

Another chapter where I could truly feel their pain. Natalia feeling like a failure was so believable and heart felt that I wanted to hug her. I dont think she nor Anthony have been given a break in regards to all the bad news lately. But maybe this ttime apart will help heal the part that needs to be healed. This couple may have started off by a one desk stand but they have cime a long way. I do hope they are able to find their way through this darkness together. Because I would hate for Natalia to feel like a failaire when itcomes to having a baby and Anthony to feel like a failure when it comes to giving Talia what she wants by having a baby.I swear its a shame to be scared by the possibilities of not having a healthy baby but I hope it doesnt push them apart. Looking forward to the next chapter.
