Naw Shel holding Landon (wtf? Landon? More surprises?! lmao!) was just too cute. She's going to do well. She might be worried now, but once the baby's born and she'll hold him/her in her arms, she won't. At least, that's what I heard, the feeling women get when holding their newborn baby. I'm too young to experience pregnancy already LOL!
*crosses fingers for Shel to win the poker game... or Mason*
Author's Response: Yup, I couldn't wait to introduce Landon vicariously through Shelby's story! LoL. :) And the poker game's all in good fun...BUT I can tell you that Addy wins. She's a scary poker player. Don't mess with her and cards! The next chappy is skipping a little. I'm thinking Thanksgiving. I enjoy holiday chapters. :)

''Noah was a gentlemen.
Or a flirt.
Or both.
Probably both.'' He's such a Carter!
I was missing so much the Carters and the guys together.. well still miss Howie and Bri.
And Liv's so right to say that, her kids are screwed by Carter's gene! ahahhah
Mas will be missed.... poor Kevin is still having a thing. Don't blame him. I think he will be the one that will care most about the baby when he or she be born.
About the blog thing..... I miss those blogs!!
Author's Response: I miss those blogs too! They cracked me up to write the tour blogs from Nick's POV. :)

Oh the sweet reality... love THIS Party at Casa de Carters!

I agree with one of the other comments that Liv be gr8 person to talk to, I know this is a Shelby story but i missed Liv n Nick. Really look forward for Brooke story to to see what going though her mind esp other what happen to her it and really happy that she still daddies girl (singing my little girl) b/c I was worried there. me think that Noah likes Kayleigh yep I agree with Shelby diff both with Noah just like his dad
But she gonna make gr8 mom :)
Author's Response: Yeah Liv's a great person in general. Go Nick for marrying her! LoL. Yeah I miss their daily lives but after awhile probably the most exciting thing is laundry day. But not where Brooke's story is concerned. And very good job on the Noah observation. :)

Aw, I really liked this chapter. :) Thanks for the ages of all the kids. lol This means that Shelby will be 20 when Brooke's 16 and around that age with Kayleigh and she'll be around 23 (wow!) with Peyton's story and 21 with Ally.
But you forgot two kids: What about James and Stefania?lol Great chapter. :)
Author's Response: James would be fifteen...if not fifteen like fourteen and 3/4, haha. Stefania would be ten and a half. :) Shelby will reappear in Ally's story, never fear. :) You'll get a nice glimpse into the future FUTURE.

It's so nice to read about the other familys, especially the Carter clan ;) I can't wait to read Brook's story. Are you going to start on writting that one after you finish this one or.....?
Anyways..loved the updates. I see Shelby warming up to the idea of having a baby herself ;)
Oh and lol at the īBobī īnickīname hahaha.
Author's Response: Brooke's will be started BEFORE the end of Shelby's. I'm gonig to try to get the first couple chapters done this week actually.

I LOVE that she still calls Nick Bob...lmao!!! Nicky Bob!!
Author's Response: Oh, Nicky Bob...it's funny that his dad's name is Bob too. LoL Shelby cracks me up.

Grrr...I forgot something! I hate when I do that. I just wanna say that I loved the mention of Brookes hair previously. I just can't wait to read her story. And I think you're genius the way you throw these comments in and tie everything together so well. You must take really really good notes! Lol
Author's Response: I take good notes...all in my head most of the times. But I do refer back to what I've written. That helps me as well. I try to include little tiny clues sometimes that allude to something that will happen in the future - i.e. Nick's ginger comment, the hair, etc.

Aw, how fun! I would love to play poker with the BSB :) lol at Molly usually winning the pot. I love that Shelby still calls Nick "Bob." It's hilarious. This was a great chap, very relaxing and seems like the good ole days when they were all together. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: I needed a fun chapter. Too much drama can clog a persons arteries! :)
Date: 09/01/10 06:46 pm Title: Chapter 34
haha your in luck, cos im at home now = internet and free reviewing time haha!!
I think Liv might become someone Shelby will seek advice from. It will probably hurt Molly, but i think Shelby will benefit from that. Getting advice from someone who she's not related too will not only have her listening, but she won't feel like she's being told what to do, which we all know thats how AJ and Molly have been.
and i LOVED when Liv was all like when Brooke gets old enough she'll be on the pill! HAH Addy may be smart, but Shelby's right, both her and Mason's parents are deffo stuck in the stone age.
I was so sure that Brooke and Kayleigh were going to ask Shelby about the baby. Maybe they don't know yet, but i just had that feeling.
I LOVE Ally. She's going to be a perfect Aunt for sure. I can't wait to read her story, especially as Shelby and Mason's baby will be a kid by then. (that is, of course, if they keep it. Which i think they will haha)
I can't wait to read the other girls stories. Especially Brooke's Reading about how she delt with the whole kidnapping and everything. Just by the fact she hadn't cut her hair since proves its something that plays on her mind still.
and i love days off! Mine isn't till the weekend. I swear AC has become the site i visit the most. Im addicted haha! Between reading your stories and updating my own... i really have no life HAHA
Author's Response: I have no life either. But it's seriously okay right now. Fanfic is going to get me through a bad semester. I can feel it. :) As you know I'm uber sentimental where Liv is concerned so you might be on to something there. And, I'm going to chalk up Brooke and Kay's lack of questions because there were SO many people in one house! Egads that was hard to write. I kept forgetting someone and going back and tagging in an action. That's what happens when I make these boys multiple like this. :) Also, got to give you more kudos for noting the whole hair thing with Brooke. Good eye, my friend!

Great chap. I have to say that I was not expecting for the grandpas to be to just blurt out the news like that. Lol. And I'm kind of sad that Kevin didn't know that Nick and Liv had another baby. Do they not keep in touch? Lol. And I love the name Landon. I love reading about Nicks family...they're a lot of fun. It was great to "see" the other families in this chap.
And I love how you ended it. Thanks for another update.
Author's Response: Kevin doesn't keep in touch as much as the other guys. I mean AJ and Nick keep in touch because they live so close. And Brooke's best friends with Kayleigh. And with all the 'Mason/Shelby' drama of the summer I'm sure AJ didn't sit around and talk to Kev a lot about the Carters. And then there's Howie who will reappear once I get to Brooke's story. He's MIA right now, lol.

Amazing two chapters can't wait for more loved it.
Author's Response: Thanks!

Review tiime! I actually read this update on my break in work, but alas... stupid phone won't let me sign in, and i kinda forgot what i wanted to review back then :( Buuut I still have more to say HAHA
One thing that stuck in my mind... well several actually.. One was how Nick and Brooke were with each other. A father who absolutely dotes on his daughter, and a daughter who idolises her father. I know you didn't write much interaction with them, but i kinda read between the lines.
And another.. How everyone took Shelby and Mason's news. Nick was speechless. probably because he thought he had foot in mouth syndrome with bringing the ginger babies up, and he's probably imagining what it would be like if it was Brooke pregnant at 16. And Liv's reaction... pretty much sums up how anyone who knows them would probably feel.
It's pretty much hit home for Shelby and Mason now, the fact she will have a tiny baby of her own. It probably sounds real easy to them, having a kid... but she only held Landon for a few moments before freaking. Landon's obviously only crying because he's picked up on her nervous state, but i can already tell Shelby's going to think its because she's not going to be a good mom.
So yea i still cant remember what i was originally going to write. I'll probably review again when i do haha!
Any more updates for today?
Author's Response: Ooh I really love psychological analysis of my writing...especially when it's SO dead on. So let's see...I'm all alone here at work so I will pick this up bit by bit. I'm SO glad you caught the whole Nick/Brooke thing. He thinks Peyton's cute as a button but there's still that bond between Nick and Brooke. I get warm fuzzies. :) Nick def. had foot in the mouth syndrome and Liv totally echoes everyone's sentiments. I actually continued Liv's line of thought in chapter 34 (as you will see). Shelby and Mason are going to have a lot of those 'brick wall' moments before this story is all done. And you're right, Shel's got a horrible fear that she's going to be a big screw up...but it was just Landon picking up on the stress. You'll see a better side of that, again, in chapter 34. So, in conclusion, I hope you get another break at work because I just posted another update! Probably going to be the last one today...I had school all morning and I work until 10 tonight. But I have tomorrow off so maybe I'll be uber lazy between homework assignments and go on a writing spree!

nick is awesome. babies are overwhelming. sorry this comment isnt better.
Author's Response: Haha Nick is awesome. I miss writing about him all the time. Any crazy thing I can think of I can write through him and it can be believable. :)
