We are so spoiled, another update!!! Good for Alyssa for not taking that BS about breastfeeding from the high-and-mighty le leche leaguer! I would have liked to see it go a little further...damn the parents. Oh - and I have a theory about Sean.

Author's Response: LMAO I actually wanted to have Alyssa refer to Kim as a le leche leagur but I forgot to put it in :( Oh well... I'm glad your team Alyssa. One of my friends actually sided w/Kim and pretty much said everything to me that Kim told Alyssa lol I kinda wanted it to go further too. In my outline it was supposed to, but I stopped because I wasn't sure if it was too much too soon. I'm interested to hear your theory on Sean though.

YAY!  An update, made my Sunday evening!  I love the innuendo at the end...chocogasm is genius!  Sean is a prick, I was hoping that whatever computer hut he is in gets blown up while he is typing.  Still have a theory, we may have to chat sometime about it. 

Great job, Mel...can't wait for more more more!!!



Author's Response: Thanks Darby! LOl Yea I liked the chocogasm part myself lol In my mind chocolate and sex are pretty synomonus LOL j/k. Lol I would so love to hear your theory sometime. IM me anytime. I'd love to hear it!

Perfect!  You wrote this perfectly.  I must admit I wasn't expecting that conversation at the end, shows how far Alyssa has come!  I am glad she stayed and Nick is getting a chance to experience a little bit of the babydaddy action.  Can't wait for more, great job!!!

Author's Response: Neither was I Darby lol. It's like we've been talking about... Those damn characters taking over and changing your plans hehe. Hopefully the next update won't take me as long to get out!

What a pleasant surprise to return from out of town to find two new chapters!!!  You have been busy, my friend!  Love this chapter...the conversation between her and Teri was right on...I love how she always seems to be there to give Alyssa the little push she needs.  I think you wrote this one perfectly...can't wait to read the next chapter!!!

Author's Response: LOL Yea I have been without anyone to talk to AIM lol j.k. I also love Teri and Alyssa's friendship. She's like Alyssa's lil cheerleader lol. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter Darby!

So much to say about this chapter...first, I loved it (of course)!  The le leche woman needs to back off...she is TROUBLE...Alyssa is being smart by being more careful.  I loved the whole MILF shirt dialouge, too funny.  I think it is sweet that Nick is so into the baby, and that Alyssa is letting him be involved.  Its amazing how open they are being with each other since she has let her guard down and come to terms with her feelings for him.  I love the new dynamic between them, it is comfortable and hot at the same time.  Excellent chapter, can't wait for more!!!  Great work!

Author's Response: I;m glad you enjoyed the MILF dialogue. Here I thought it was really cheesy! Alyssa and Nick's communication these past few chapters has been awesome and I feel like it really shows through their interactions with each other. You're right it is completely hot and I am loving it! Good to have you back!

This is going to sound totally weird, but I almost forgot about Shayla.  We are so wrapped up in Nick and Alyssa's world and a bit of Sean that she fell by the wayside...we better not forget about her...she is manipulative and coule reap some havoc just like Meg predicted last chapter.  I am glad Nick talked to Angel, it showed things from his POV and the other potential collateral damage.  This could all turn very very ugly...I can't wait!

Great job, Mel!  Hugs!



Author's Response: Yea... It's really tough sometimes to not only write about Nick and Alyssa, but their spouses as well. Shayla did get a lil lost in the shuffle, but she'll be I think playing a bigger part in the next few chapters. It was nice writing the Nick and Angel scene because you're right. We got to hear Nick's side on the issue. Thanks for the review Darby!

Date: 07/14/08 Title: Chapter 41: Chapter 38 - What's In a Name?

Another fantastic chapter...I think you are outdoing yourself with every update if that is possible.  I think Alyssa and Nick are definitely getting to a difficult point in their relationship, defining things and making future plans will have reprocussions.  They did make a plan this chapter, however, I still feel like they are putting off the inevitable...

Can't wait for more :o)



Author's Response: Thanks so much Darby! I'm trying! They definitely are reaching a difficult part of their relationship. And yes there will be reprocussions. They are coming lol.

Wowza...explosive, huge chapter!  I love the nursery - big meaning in a small gesture.  Shows that he is ready for the next step and ready for her and the babes to make the condo their home.  Lots of meaning in that, it will also help make her and the baby's transition from Sean & her home easier.  Also shows that he is ready for her to be there with him.  I love that they are doing family-ish things together.

Now onto Shayla...I was beginning to wonder if she thought anything about the time he spent away from home or if she knew who he was with.  I would be upset if I was her too!!!  The fallout from all of this will be beautifully explosive...I can't wait to read about Christmas and see what the PI comes up with!

Great job, as always!  You are on a roll lately!



Author's Response: Yepp, didn't seem that way at first, but it was. LOl Thanks a lot for the nursery idea it really worked out well. It is cute seeing them do things like they're a married couple like pick out a Christmas tree and decorate the house. I know Shayla has been a lil absent from the scene for a while so I tried to catch her up to speed by explaining what she had or had not been noticing. You'll have to just stay tuned to see what results from this!

LOL...the Wal-Mart Santa outfit...hahaha!  Great chapter!!!  Things are definitely going to be getting interesting, Shayla is suspicious, and for good reason.  I am also interested to see if anything plays out between Alyssa and Angel.

As always, great job, my friend!  Can't wait for more!



Author's Response: Yea I couldn't resist that comment! No offense, but I think Wal-mart may have some of the trashiest lingerie lol. An Alyssa and Angel scene is in the works... Thanks for your comments Darbs!

What a huge chapter...you did an excellent job, once again.  I love the opening scene and Shayla's observations.  The scene between Angel and Alyssa is a huge one, totally get where Angel is coming from, but I must say I was proud of Alyssa for how she handled it considering the shock.  The end scene was awesome, HUGE...I think you did it perfectly.  Every chapter you write gets better and better...you are amazing, my dear.  Keep up the good work!  Hugs!

Author's Response: Aww thanks Darbs but I couldn't do it without your help! I'm glad you liked the opening. I've been trying to show a bit more from Shayla's POV since I've been neglecting it sorta. I like how the Angel/Alyssa scene went myself. In a way you can't blame Angel. I know what it's like to be wary of your brother's g/f. She's only looking out to protect Nick because she loves him. BUT she doesn't have to be rude about it. I think it was mature of Alyssa to realize that she's going to have to win Angel over by showing her that her intentions towards Nick are true. Thanks again!

Oh snap...talk about the ultimate slap int he face...I can't wait to see how Shayla responds, she doesn't strike me as someone who will just go quietly into the night. 

The scene with Alyssa by herself and the feeling of being completely alone is so profound...I adore it!

I'm glad I could help a bit...great work, you are incredible, keep it up!  XOXO!



Author's Response: Yea it definitely was a huge bitch slap to Shayla's ego (as if it wasn't bruised enough) but you are right. You know the saying. Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned... I thought the Alyssa scene was very thoughtful too. Kind of sets up where she's at as we go into this next phase of the story. Thanks so much Darbs! Couldn't do it without you!

I didn't :o)...and you little sneak, I didn't realize you were this far along in this chapter or that you were going to update.  I really liked how Alyssa was with Kim, that she was able to put her differences aside.  I also love the tenderness in the last scene with Nick and Alyssa...says so much.  Great job as always, you rock - but I tell you that all the time.  Keep up the good work, update soon!  Hugs!

Author's Response: Haha I know YOU didn't because you got the sneak peek lol. Haha I am a little sneak aren't I? I really wanted to finish the Kim/Callie/ Alyssa scene last night and I did, but then I was like hmm... the Nick and Alyssa scene shouldn't be TOO long, so I just pounded it out while I was still feeling it. Yes, I agree that it was very mature of Lyss to put Kim first even though Kim hasn't been the nicest person to her lately. And I'm glad you liked the chemistry between Alyssa and Nick. I'm amazed myself at how comfortable they seem to be together. Thanks as always Darbs!

I adore this chapter, glad I could help a bit!  I can't wait for what is to come.  This was such a tough chapter because it brings so many of the issues that Nick and Alyssa can inevitably face to the forefront.  I think people never anticipate the feelings of guilt!  Anyways, fantabulous job...keep going!  Hugs!

Author's Response:

Yea it was a bitch to write, but thankfully the next few chapters are going to be a lot more action packed and less emotional. I've had some prett heavy ones lately. It needed to be written though to set them up for the climax. Thanks again sweetie for everything!

WOWZA...let the games begin!  I had only seen the beginning and the end...and you know I adored both - but the middle, great job writing it, I would expect nothing less from you.  I like the little "Zoey sounds like a dog's name" for reasons that you may know...lol...

Anyways, super job, this is getting so exciting...can't wait for more, keep up the great work!  XOXO!



Author's Response: LOL Thanks Darbs! And of course that Zoey sounds like a dog's name is directed at you since you have a dog named Zoey as does Jess. I guess it IS a very popular dog name. Thanks for the review!

Ooh...good stuff...and the plot thickens.  What is up with Sean being all controlling?  I understand where everyone (even Sean) is coming from in this one.  And yeah, Nick's words...a leeetle harsh, but he is afraid of losing everything, and he has a lot to lose, even more than Alyssa really.

Great stuff, you rock my socks off.  Glad I could motivate you tonight...remember, I am mean...grrr...

Hugs!



Author's Response: Yes it does... I think Sean is overly paranoid about Nick and plus with the PTSD it makes him more controlling. It's tough because everyone has their sides in this one and everyone has a good reason for reacting the way they do. Nick was harsh at times, but you are right on the money about him. Haha slave driver! :)
