I just finished ch. 24 and I gotta tell you: you are an amazing writer. Seriously. Well, I've cried many times throughout this story, but what really got to me was the chapter where Larry had the flashback to when he and Bry first met. How happy they were together for awhile before Bryant's illness started taking over. This last chapter when Larry came to talk with Bryant and try to get back together with him was also extremely emotional. As was the scene where Richie finds out about James screwing around on him. All these scenes were especially hard for me to read b/c I've lived every one except for the getting back together scene. Anyway, you conveyed the raw emotions perfectly; the anguish, the anger and sadness. I could go on and on. Your story is excellent. I did comment the other day when I first stared reading this about the mama being a male; it still throws me off, but who cares; the story is fantastic and I'm just sorry I'm almost all caught up! If you're still doing email lists, could you add me? LisaT25@msn.com Thank you!

I just finished ch. 26 where Richie had that talk with his kids. It was heartbreaking. As a parent to any age kids, but these kids are so young to truly understand what's going on, you don't want to bad mouth their other parent. That is the worst thing you can do to your kids. What James said is so horribly wrong; he has no business taking out his anger over the situation on his kids by talking bad about Richie. And Aunt Corinne's speech; what a fucking WITCH!!!!! I mean, come on! You are more concerned w/the stupid, bigoted, two-faced bitches that she calls friends, than the happiness of her only nephew who she thought of as a son????????? What a cunt. I'm sorry, I don't have time for insipid, morally challenged bigots and people who spread rumors and lies about other people they no nothing about. Anyway, fantastic chapter! As always. The thing w/this story is the reader, well ok, me, is not only wrapped up in the main characters story, but those of all the other minor players. It's amazing!

OMG! I just finished chapter 14 when Shay sees Jimmy Dean again. I am speechless. No matter which direction Shay turns in he is met with disaster. I cannot imagine how you are going to address this situation. I will just have to read and see. I am glad that the communication is still good between Shay and Randy. And you were making us look at Corrine as the possible family problem! Very devious. Good job.

david tucker, that mother fucker. i hope someone rips him a new one. though james is an asshole, and stupid, you kinda have to feel at least a little pity for him. i hope his stupid decision doesn't gain him sympathy from others though, because he really is an idiot. uuuugh.

anyway, i'm so happy to see you've updated! it's been such a long time i was almost afraid i forgot everyone's names, but they came back easily to me. it's nice to see richie moving on. take care of yourself!

Man Richie getting it on with that EMT guy too quick >.< he was supposed to be the sensible one but I guess he did deserve some of that. James, yikes don't trust that dude he'll totally mess you up~ I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of that Tucker dude hopefully with Randy's fist in his face. Thanks for the update!

Truth behind the lies is an amazing story. It is well thought out and very well written. I have enjoyed reading every chapter so far. I am so happy to see that Shay and the babies made it through the pregnancy okay. I am sorry about James and Richie. James is definitely having some problems. I wonder how the problems that he and Richie have could posssibly be resolved. However I see that Larry did some horrible unforgiveable things too and he is not beyond redemption. I guess the main problem with James is that he hasn't even realized what he is doing wrong. He hasn't admitted (maybe even to himself) that he cheated on Richie and abandoned his pregnant lover and unborn child. Maybe James is guilty of the same sin as Larry. He is protecting himself and running away from his problems. And yet like Larry there are redeemable parts within James. There was a time when he was a good husband and father and at the start of the story James was a great supportive cousin to Randy. I can't wait to see what happens to these three couple. This truly is a gem of a story. Thanks for putting all this work into it.

Wow, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandpa. My condolences to you and your family. I thought the two chs were awesome. The Dnate bit did shock me because like Ritchie said it was just sooo not him. Larry is a sweet heart now. My gosh talk about a 180! I actually feel really sorry for the sot. Okay if you are turning James into an addict....get him good!It's good to have you back.

! I am on chapter two and your story has already captured my heart ! I feel like squealing with delight and weeping at the same time. You are very good at bringing out emotions in your story. I have already fallen in love with baby Jack and sweet Shay. I am so happy that I get to read thirty chapters in one stretch.

This story is frickin awesome. I just started reading it today and couldn't stop. I am totally not liking James. He needs a true wake up call because if he's still blaming Shay for his messed up life then he still has some learning to do. I also don't like Randy's aunt. I actually never like her. She doesn't deserve to be in Randy's life. Seriously though, I love this story. I'm gonna have to read your other stories now. I'm hooked!!!

Ok, I just started this story tonight and I finished ch. 3. I'm sorry, but every time the word mother is mentioned in the same sentence as Shay, or Bryant, I cringe. They're the fathers, correct? When two men are parents, aren't they like "My Two Dads"? Anyway, how do the men get pregnant in this story? I've read mpreg stories, but they're usually scifi or fantasy. Even so, wouldn't the MALES be the fathers, not the mothers?

Anyway, it is a great story. I feel so sorry for Poor Shay; he's had such a shitty childhood. And now Randy finds out rumors that aren't even true about Shay, right?

Oh, I did have another question: if Plumsfeld or is it Plumsfield, has only 3,300 people, and Randy's clinic is 30 minutes out of town, which would make it, what, 15 - 20 miles away, which would be at least two towns away, right? Then why are Plumsfeld people there? Or, shouldn't there be people there that aren't from Plumsfeld? Just wondering....
