Wow, didn't exactly see that one coming!  Please get OTT updated quickly so we aren't completely left hanging.  I have a sneaking suspicion that Jen may in fact be pregnant.  At least that has ben my thought since she first had the sick fit.  The dream of the little blonde boy isn't helping my thoughts.  Love both sides of this story and do a little happy dance each time I get an update email.  My co-workers are beginning to think they need to call the men in the white coats.  I don't think I want to know what my hubby (his name is Rob by the way.) thinks of my little addiction

Author's Response:

HEEHEE. so glad i can keep you guys on your toes! yay! LOL! i can't wait to get OTT up to this point... omg it's going to take forever!!!!! LOL!

hmmm...Jen pregnant.... hmmmm.

LOLat the coworkers... hey..they have Farmville... we have this... whatever keeps us happy....

thanks so much my dear! more very soon! and welcome to the forum! i saw you posted! 

MWAH!

Thank you for the quick update! Great chapter as always!

I gather they're now somewhere around mid-January and Rob is gearing up to start working on Bel Ami. And Jen has changed her Google background back from penguins to wet Rob! And she's gearing up to find something to do while Rob's working. I wonder what response she will get to her emails.

It was lovely how Rob played for Jen on his new piano. Their talk about Mike afterwards was a bit strained and didn't quite reach it's purpose. Jen was supposedly trying to tell Rob how she felt about Mike in relation to how she feels about Rob now. In reality what she did was share a very fond memory, albeit a painfull one, about her and Mike with Rob. She didn't tell Rob at all how that related to him nor how she felt about him. And then he also shares with her how he too fell in love with her at first sight, awww! He knows she loves him, but I can imagine the story still made him feel like he would always be second best. And since his self-esteem isn't that great to begin with, Jen really needs to start thinking more about the impact of her words and realising that he is young and inexperienced and therefore needs a lot of positive reinforcement.

You're leaving a lot of subtle pregnancy hints in this chapter, the throwing up, glowing, perkier breasts, wayward emotions. But from earlier in the story when Jen said she wasn't able to have children anymore, I gathered she had a hysterectomy after the accident. How does she know she can't have any children anymore? Cause if all the parts are still present inside her body there's always a chance, a possibility, even if it's a very tiny one, that she can still have a child.  Maybe you can clear this up in a coming chapter.  I'm kinda hoping she's not pregnant and can't get pregnant, because I would like to see them make the conscious decision to settle down and expand their family through adoption or surrogate. It's a very emotional process which makes for great writing/reading material.

The clothes washing and house keeping parts were comical and Rob really needs to grow up and not expect things to be picked up after him like his mother or assistant would do! Maybe Jen really needs to teach him a lesson. She could dress herself in one of those very sexy maid costumes and not let him touch her while she cleans up his mess!

I love Mike "Macktruck" Dean, he's very quiet, but lovely and just what Rob needs to feel safer. Loved how Jen handled him and stunned him into silence with her dancing queen and smoothie! I wonder how long it will take Rob to get Jen a bodyguard as well.

So Nick is fired, what will that mean for the future? When will the make their relationship public? Will Jen go with Rob to the set? Will she be self-doubtfull or jealous when finding out about the very elaborate sex-scenes with Uma and Christina?

I think it's high time for Jen and Mr P. to go on an excursion of sorts to find her a car and have a dad-daughter talk. She really needs some parental guidance to settle a bit in her new life. And Mr P. seems to really care for her and know his son like no other. Maybe he can give her an insight about the working of Rob's mind and his incredible protectiveness.

Also I can only assume Jen has to go back to the US anytime soon, at the very least to handle some affairs concerning her house and shop. She has not been working since she went to the UK and at the very least she has to close down her business. Besides her bookshop is also a internetshop, surely she has to attend to her orders?  Probably also pack up more of her stuff and have it shipped of to London. How will they handle that separation?

You mentioned in reply that you have a very definate deadline for this story. What is it? Is it a personal or storywise deadline?

Can't wait to see what will happen next!

Author's Response:

OMG Nancy! This has got to be the BEST review ever! Long and thick and so full of goodness... does that sound naughty? *shrugs*

phew where to start...

Let's see...this chapter ends around January 7th...so yes, he is gearing up for Bel Ami...

OMG I think you are the only one to catch the deeper meaning to her conversation about Mike... and Rob's frailties... he may not have shown it...yet... but she will have to say goodbye to Mike, and reassure Rob that he is indeed much more. she knows it, but she needs to say it...she needs to reinforce most definitely...

Jen and the pregnancy. I have kept her female issues vague. but we will see more on this in the next four or five chapters.. and I full heartedly believe in surrogacy and adoption... Jen needs to work out her feeling of being broken, she needs to let the family know and more importantly, she needs to know for sure that Rob is alright with not necessarily passing on his genes with her.

the honeymoon is waning, and she definitely is seeing things that frustrates her... maid outfit...heeheehee... that would be funny!

Jen needs some time with Mr. P.absolutely... a good heart to heart...oh i just want to update the next 4 chapters right now!  so much you have hit on! so much to accomplish!

she does have to go back to the States to deal with everything.. it's wearing on her.. and until she settles that... she is going to feel a bit in limbo... she has ALOT to take care of back there... how will they handle the separation is right...

let's see.. the deadline... not necessarily personal... more storywise... but also looking at it in that i'd like to end it in a great place... not to stretched out... 15 is a really rough estimate.. and if the christmas chapters was any indication (gee it thought it would fall around 32-it ended up 39!) we have plenty more to go... i have a definite ending for the story...just gotta get there...

sigh... wow... do you think our review and response will take up one whole page... that'd be awesome...

thank you so much Nancy for all your support and love... you guys make this story possible. i love the feedback..

I can't WAIT to post the next few chapters now... 

more soon!

MWAH!

I liked Mack! Can't wait to see more of him. I wonder, will Rob be jealous of Jens friendship with Mack? 'Cause it seemed like Mack kind of had a thing for Jen. And what's up with the throwing up, please. She is pregnant, is'nt she? It could happen, you know. Please! Love this, update soon :)

Author's Response:

YAY TEAM MACK! he'll be around a lot more... cuz well, he's Rob's shadow...hehehe

jealous of Mack? hmmm... maybe, although i'll tell you right now that Mack is married... so we're safe... But mack and Jen will definitely become friends.

throwing up... stress maybe? she has a lot to deal with... preggers? i shall let the story unfold... i'm cruel i know...

thanks so much my dear! more very soon! i am dying to get to the telethon! and then Bel Ami!

thanks!

mwah!

steph

OMG!!! the best chapter yet. I love the fact that rob can't do laundry. Having rob fire nick at the end of the chapter has all of us on the edge of our seats. Update soon can't wait.

Author's Response:

thanks my dear!

poor Rob... fill with water...add detergent in specified cup, add clothes..close door... that simple.... so cute...

Oh Nick... more in the next chapter...promise!

thanks so much my dear!

more soon!

MWAH!

steph

Alright Steph!

Evil cliffie girl.... I'm calling it right now. Jen.is.pregnant! 

Clare saw it, Liz see it, mentioning you know.. the change in her boobs.. Firing Nick? Hmmm that threw me for a loop. This will be interesting...Please, for the love of God...No more angst! With how Rob and Jen need each other I can't see that happening..(at least I'm hoping so) 15 more chapters you say?  Oh, she's definitely preggo....then I bet they are going public... Sorry... Trying to envision what I'D like to see. But, it's your amazing story.. Thank you so much for your reliable updates on both stories. since you update so often, I'm not too upset with the evil cliffie. LOL!

 

Author's Response:

LOL! i know evil cliffy... but we'll see what is up with evil Nick next up...I can't promise the no more angst... there might be some... 

*preparing my bunker again*

heehee... 15 chapters is definitely a ROUGH guestimate... and with my wordy butt, it'll probably be more than that... but i grow faint with the thoughts of 2 60 plus chapter stories... oh my! 

thank you for appreciating the updates... i try as an impatient reader to keep up on it... i know what its like to have to wait... and wait... 

and truthfully  i am jsut so excited to get to the next chapter, it's hard to hold back!

thanks my dear! 

more soon!

MWAH!

steph

Brillinat I love this story and want more.  I cannotimagine what is coming and love that.

great writing

thanks

Author's Response:

Thank you so much! 

so much on the horizon! i can't wait for you guys to read it! 

more soon! 

MWAH!

steph

YAY, a new chapter!!  The part where Jen is trying to show Rob how to work the washing machine was hysterical; I can just imagine him that clueless when it comes to mundane things like laundry.

Arrgh, what a cliffie.  What is that slime Nick up to now??

Author's Response:

YAY! for mundane daily things! Yep... the boy needs a lesson in washing... but it's ok... Jen is there to help out!

oh nick... can he honestly not do anything right? we'll see....

thanks my dear! more soon i promise!

MWAH!

steph

Ha!! Kicked Nicks ass? God,I hope so. Fired? Hmmm... I think that would be awesome from this stories POV, but in RL he's still around- lurking- so I'm guessing not for long.

Poor Jen and all the baby nonsense.. :( They (the fam) really are rushing things though. Geez... There are other ways to obtain babies other than birthing one. She can still be a mother. Maybe these options will be explored later?

I really think Rob will be much more relaxed when their relationship is no longer a secret.

One thing.. umm - I cheated again... I read your blog.. sigh.. I can't help it I just checked to see if you had by any chance added anything and there it was. I had to read it! :) Can't wait!!!

 

Author's Response:

Ok blog first. i have learned how to keep some of my Posts hidden so as not to distress anyone. But I wrote that one and thought, "why should I hide it until i get there? My feelings are just that. I am so proud. I want people to know."

so i kept it there. I hope it doesn't ruin my Remember me chapter (which is already written) But like Jen, i am so proud, and cried every time i saw it. I am so proud of our Robert. We'll see Jen's Remember Me exprerience in ummm.... chapter 462? hahaha... somewhere in the 50's to be sure...

yes... Nick is lurking in those photos isn't he? hehehhee.... what could that mean for our duo?

and poor Jen. the baby thing is only going to get worse the longer they hold it in. and there are other options. ABSOLUTELY. 

poor Rob. he will be once they are out. it just needs to be the right time. 

thanks my dear. so much in this chapter... and more to come.

thanks for being such a great supporter!

MWAH!

steph

That was a great chapter.  Wonder how the family will react to Jen's news.  I love Mack.  He is great.  Glad Rob fired Nick, he had it coming!

Author's Response:

thanks my dear!

The family reaction is very important to her.. which is why she keeps hedging... she may be surprised....

I LOVE Mack.. he is my newest fave character... we'll see more of him... yay!

and nick... he needed a swift kick. 

more soon my dear! 

thanks! 

MWAH!

steph

I really had many different emotions throughout that chapter.  I loved how Rob told her it was love at first site for him when he saw her.  That was so sweet.

Then poor Jen worrying about having kids and how his family will react to that.  I wish they would talk more about it.  They can always adopt.  I know it's hard for people but there are more important things in life then passing on DNA.

And then Rob punching Nick and firing him!  I can't wait to see his POV for that moment.

Another awesome chapter Steph!!

Author's Response:

Dear sweet Rob. how is it we can love him more and more?

They definitely need to talk about it. It's coming... very soon. she has to start dealing with all of this ....or she'll break...

heehe... Rob's POV of that moment... gah... it's so far away!!!! but it will be awesome!

thanks my dear so much! more soon!

MWAH!

steph

Intense, but Jen handled it like a pro!  She is really going to be Rob's rock through all of this.

Author's Response:

thanks my dear! lets hope she doesn't crack under the pressure.

more soon!

mwah!
