Okay, I knew this was coming but it's so sad you've made me cry.  They've all suffered their own loss but it's Art I feel for most.  He has to grow up now with just his memories of his mum.  At least his Nana and Papa will be able to tell him stories of her keeping her memory and love for him alive.

I'm so glad that Art got to speak to his mum and have a hug and cuddle with her before she died and I loved how Rob told Art that his mum had given him so many hugs and kisses for Art that he wouldn't run out.

Really a very powerful chapter.

Heart breaking. Should have come with a tissue warning. But I do so love your story telling. 

Hello!  Tissue warning, please!

This story is so unique in the fandom that it's like a little oasis.

Thanks,

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Love your story. 

Awwwww... please don't take too long updating.... we need to know....

 

Thanks.

Should have come with a tissue warning. 

Aww, poor Art he's so worried about his Mum.  I hope that the paternity test doesn't become public, it's the last thing they all need and people will blow it up into something it's not.  Rob has a lot to think about.  Once he has Art on a permanent basis both their lives are going to change radically.  I'm sure both families will rally around to help.

Starting out well.  Looking forward to the rest of the story.

Awwww, I hope that Dallas recovers from this bout of pneumonia.  It's sad that this is something that's giving Rob and Art more time together to bond, he's such a sweet little boy.

I'm glad to see you back flower, I've missed this story.

Oh boy, it's certainly different going out on a proper date without your child, I can vouch for that one.  You have this history and child connecting you but your lives have moved on without each other and that can be a bit awkward as neither of you are the people you used to be.....obviously.  I hope it goes well for them.

I hope they do go to London in the summer and then Robs parents can meet their grandson and his sisters can get to know their nephew.  Rob was so pleased with his present, homemade is the best.

so glad to see the update !! i really like the story- hope they all get to travel to london for summer break :)

I'm so glad that they've told Art the truth, he completely took it in his stride like most children his age would.  I loved s question about calling Rob Dad, it'll happen when Art's comfortable with it and probably when Rob least expects it.

I'm into this...at first I was a bit hesitant but I'm liking the flow.
