I love Ian and how much he can help Gus to forgive himself and be with the people he loves.

Emmett is a joy to read about and he even gave his approval that Blake was back. When do the kitties arrive in NY?

Hi again... I was just thinking about the conversation between Brian and Em in reference to David not wanting Jenny close by. Of course, David is just selfish enough to realize that Michael's attention would be refocused away from him and Hank. But I also think he's smart enough to realize that with Jenny's access to Deb's world outside of Michael, he wouldn't hesitate to use Jenny to gather information.
Beyond that though, the thing that stood out the most would be the fact that Mel potentially doesn't want to move back BECAUSE of David. So that made me wonder if there was some sort of agreement between Mel and David, possibly centered around Michael's support payments. I mean, if David is taking care of all of Michael's financial responsibilities, wouldn't that include Jenny's child support? And in turn for keeping the money flowing to her, could it be that Mel agreed to limit Michael's access to Jenny? A little extortion among Egomaniacs wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I absolutely LOVED reading about Michael's issues. Karma has come back for him in a HUGE way, especially since he always loved the feeling of control over everyone else. It must absolutely suck for him to know what being beholden to someone else feels like. I don't feel not one bit sorry for the little ingrate! He tried to play with everyone's psyche about him returning to David, only he's the one who's paying the ultimate price for his headgames.
I really proud of Deb here, for so many reasons. The first is that she's letting Michael face the consequences of his own actions. It's funny that he is seeing just how selfish and controlling he is from the otherside, and that Deb is not doing ANYTHING to bully David into letting Michael go as she might have done in the past. It shows major character growth on her part. Secondly, I LOVE that she's not expecting Brian to clean up the mess with Jenny that Mel is making. Deb, in turn, told Jenny the entire truth as she knows it instead of trying to sugarcoat the misdeeds that began this mess in the first place. She didn't try to force her opinion of the situation on Jenny, but gave her the fact so she could draw her own conclusions.
But what I was largely impressed with was that Deb didn't yell at Brian for keeping Lindsay's situation a secret from her. She didn't allow her inherent need to know everything get in the way of accepting Brian and Justin's reasoning in not telling her. Sure she would have wanted to help Lindsay, but Brian's right in that it would have broken Debbie's heart not to have been able to do so.
I LOVE EMMETT!!! That's all I can say about him. His and Patrick's banter was so adorable, and Brian sounding like a father was hilarious. But what I really love is that Em will have the up close and personal chance to see Gus and Patrick build their own dynamic separately from the circumstances of how they met. And not only that, but as rare as it was on the show, I've always loved to see Em in protective mode. I'm sure with Melanie coming, he's going to have plenty use for that awesome verbal sword he has.
EXCELLENT chapter, StarBaby and looking forward to MORE!
HAPPY WRITING and HUGS,

I loved Emmett and his babies, what a nice reprieve. It was like sunshine after the dark clouds. It brought smiles.
I take it that David, Michael, and Hank live in Pittsburgh? And it's interesting that David owns Michael's shop. I have to wonder if it makes any money... and does David allow Michael to work in it?
It was nice to hear Deb's take on everything. And forewarned is forearmed... always a nice thing. And maybe there's hope for Jenny yet... especially with Deb's input.
I might be angry at her, but I don’t want her dead. Mel better have her armor intact, because, between Emmett and Patrick, the swords might come out.
And doggone you... you made me tear up again. But yay for Teddy and Blake. But, it's too early in the day for this!
Good job... Great story!

Wow extra chapter tonight. I still find it hard to believe Brian kept this secret for 14 years.
