Nick's cats scare me XD They're creepy, and that's coming from someone who adores cats and treats her two cats as her babies. lol

Poor Brian. *pats his head* He didn't want to betray Nick and Leighanne and his good intentions just didn't repay him.
But, I have to say... Lauren is totally Nick's soulmates: way to be overdramatic XD Though I had expected her storming away and slamming the door behind her back. lol

Author's Response: I think it's the whole lack of hair thing that makes them so scary. I would not want those cats running around my house!! LOL Poor, poor Brian ... he tried to be such a good boy and he ended up making things worse. *Sigh* He should have just gone with it. Maybe he would have enjoyed himself!! HAHAHA

I find it funny that, while the general fandom belief is that she's hated by all the other wives, Leighanne is the one you actually see interact most with all of them (and yes, it's shocking, even Lauren). I love when real life basically proves wrong all the fandom's "truths". lol

Second thing funny: Brian and his reaction to Nick's DWTS. That's me! That was what I said when I heard the news. lol It's not like he has gained much more popularity after... oops? XD

Plus, can I say it was totally heart-breaking how Brian wanted to thank Lauren for believing in him? *hugs him as tightly as possible without chrushing his tiny bones*

I know I don't say it often, but what I really like about your stories is always the plot. You always come up with such amazing and original plotlines that it actually makes me forget how much I hate 1st POV's stories and keep waiting (im)patiently for the next chapter. =D

Author's Response: Honestly, I hardly pay attention to the wives and what they do/don't do. I have no interest in them aside from their husbands!! LOL That being said, I have seen them all interacting with one another fairly often. I think that you would almost be forced to become friends when your husbands are all so close. I know that has been the case for myself and my best girlfriends; our husbands are now all close friends by default because we all spend so much time together. Anyways, in this situation, it's poor Brian who is buying into the fandom's "truths" in that he has just assumed that his wife is left out. Poor Brian! He needs to stop jumping to so many conclusions!! LOL In terms of DWTS, I watched it whenever I remembered that it was on, but I wasn't like glued to the TV or anything. I don't really enjoy all of those reality talent shows ... but whatever floats your boat, right? ;) HAHA - You have mentioned before that you hate 1st person POV, so thank you so much for your lovely praise!! I truly enjoy reading your reviews and they give me motivation to keep writing! :D

I was literally waiting for this very moment, the moment when Nick had to sing being Brian and could finally understand what it means to be the one whose voice is just disappearing, no matter how hard you try.
And, just out of context, I say that everyone should experience before even starting to think about judging Brian. It's so easy to talk, to assume what one is doing or not to heal or to get better is right or wrong. But you can't really know until you're living with it. Until you realize how it really feels.
So I loved Brian/Nick (I'm getting a little confused here. lol) asking Nick/Brian what he was supposed to do.

And yes, Nick, you are really that selfish. XD

Author's Response: I'm so glad that you were waiting for this moment, because I was waiting to write it! It's been on my mind for so long that Nick really needed to feel what it's like to not be able to sing without having to think about it. Perhaps this will be a turning point for the two of them?? Who knows!! HAHA You didn't really think that I would give anything away, did you?? FYI, I have to agree that Nick has been pretty selfish. I really need to make him not come across as a total A$$.

Oh Baylee... I really hope you will never find out all the crap that some "fans" have said to your dad about his voice problems. (And that reminds me a soundcheck video where Brian said that Baylee protects him in the same way Brian protects him)

Plus... Baylee is totally a mini Brian. Even with Nick. lol

And I agree with your reply for the last review. Thats why I love writing Brian so much: he hides so much and people might be fooled by the fact that he doesn't share his "dark side" (which is one of the reason why I love him in first place.). As a writer, that'sn infinite pot of gold because you can dig, dig and go under that smile and positivity.
Brian is the perfect character ever to write and work with.

Author's Response: It's kind of scary how much Baylee is like his dad (appearance and personality wise). HAHA I felt that it was only proper that Baylee would figure out that Nick was really Brian. Now, you will have to wait and see if he really is able to keep it a secret. :P

First of all, I just want to say that I love reviewing this story. *_* So, sadly, you're going to have to read my nonsensly rumblings until the end. lol

I'm selfish, I know. I know that it might help him, that the group would benefit and whatever. But I don't want less Brian. Already I had to go through an album where Brian's voice could barely being heard. Him giving up leads on older songs? Hell to the no! U.U Especially cause it would feel weird. Can you imagine Howie singing Brian's parts on As Long As You Love Me? O.o No, thank you. lol
And I'm like Nick. Him giving up his leads will be like him giving up getting better. And maybe I'm a hopeless optimistic, maybe I should be more realistic, but I believe in a very few things and one is Brian getting better again. U.U

Author's Response: Like you, I'm holding on to the (unrealistic??) hope that Brian will get better. Brian is the reason why I became a BSB fan in the first place, and if he were to leave I don't know if I would still be a fan (at least not to the extent that I am now). I do enjoy AJ's voice quite a bit, but not as much as Brian's. Nick's voice had also gotten better (in my opinion) over the past couple of years. However, their sound is based on the five of them ... even with Kevin missing the sound wasn't quite the same.

I admit. Although I know it's pretty much impossible, since Leighanne has said multiple times that she can't have any more kids, I so wish for Brian to be father again. Just the image of Brian holding a little girl... *_*

And yes, Brian is so going to be in trouble with Nick but... aw. To be in Lauren's shoes in this scene. *pats the head of her cats who will be the only company in her life*

*goes eating a bowl of chocolate ice cream waiting for the next chapter*

Keep going!

Author's Response: I think Brian would be amazing with a daughter! Although, I do find it strangely fitting that AJ has (so far) been the only one to have a little girl. Has Leighanne said that she can't have more children?? I actually didn't know that. I always thought that they had just decided on "one and done". So far, I only have one child and sometimes I think that I would be happy with just one as it's SO much work! LOL The next chapter will be up sometime this week. Until then, enjoy your ice cream!! P.S. Yes, Nick might actually kill Brian when he finds out. HAHA

Dear Boys (and I'm talking especially to Brian, the more mature between them. Seriously, Brian? LOL), the only way you two are gonna get back to normal is very, very simple: TALK! COMUNICATE!
Why are men so complicated? LOL

Author's Response: I ask my husband that question almost every day!! HAHA His response is always that men are simple and that it's the women who are complicated. *sigh* Also, if Brian is the mature one then they're both in trouble!! LOL
