Title: Chapter 29 - The One That Got Away

Well, Joelle, you had me going there for about all of the damn chapter I think I would have passed out if I held my breath any longer.

Natalia is one of those characters that wants to be strong and do everything on her own because she doesn't know how to handle the emotional fallout well, lets just say that her family isn't the most stable of people when it comes to emotions. She truly knows how to help others but not always helping herself. I loved the fact that she wants Anthony to have that bound with the only person in his family that has his back. Yeah, its Rich but we all have crosses to bare when it comes to our family and Rich is Anthony's lol. But lets be real Natalia and Anthony wouldn't know what to do with themselves without Rich, he is entertaining at best and douchey at worst but he loves Anthony and wants him to be happy.

Anthony having to deal with his mother and the she-devil would make any grown man want to slit his wrist or in his case (lay his head on my bosom and shoulder.) I find it interesting that the She-Devil thinks that she knows anything about Anthony and Natalia's relationship. I wish he would have said, " FYI Natalia has never tried to stand in the way of my relationship with anyone of my family members. it me and their selfish need to control my life that keeps me at a distance with them. And its you that makes me want to get even further away from them."

Natalia and Anthony having a baby...Aww I hope it truly is their miracle kid. because who knew a hand job could get one pregnant. (Ha just kidding.) I thinking they had a quickie in a shower trying to make sure Rich didn't interrupt them, that got her knocked up. (Thanks Rich. LOL) Natalia needs to learn to share her emotions with Anthony because he truly wants to be there for her in every way possible.  Her trying to deal with being pregnant on her own was a little selfish and understandable but she has to remember that Anthony loves her completely. He wants all of her the good, the bad, the ugly, and the Barbara. And he was worried about her which cause  him not to sleep or be able to focus. I love d this:

“Besides, Rich is bound to fuck-up sooner or later.  We’ll just take his kid.  He sure as hell won’t get it.  The courts would grant custody to a rabid one-armed monkey before they gave it to Rich.”

Poor Rich would never let a monkey raise his kid. I feel like Rich is trying to be free because for so long he was under that family of his that he did everything for them, for their approval and at the end of the day he doesn't know how to act on his own.

Looking forward to the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Great insight on Nat, JovanBleu.  And I agree that Rich is sometimes the disfunctional glue that holds it all together.  That's why I love him. 

Sabrina thinks she knows Anthony, but then again, so does his family.  It's part of the reason they get along so well.  You didn't get to see how that conversation between Ant and Sabrina ended, but your rendition was spot on.

Nat had every intention of telling Anthony about the pregnancy, but was waiting until she got herself together before doing so so she wouldn't worry him with her worry.  Unfortunately, she wound up causing him the stress she was trying to spare him.  Lesson learned.

And you just might be right about Poor Rich's behavior maybe being the result of having finally found freedom from his family's tyrranical influence.

Thanks for sharing your insight, JovanBleu!!!

Please, please let them be pregnant.  That baby will be the only thing to knock Sabrina off her block and these two deserve a kid to balance out the Rich Jr effect.

Title: Chapter 29 - The One That Got Away

I know that if this turn out to be another false pregnancy that would and should be disappointed, but there are other options. The can adopt or they can even use a surrogate mother with Anthony's sperm and Natalia's eggs. Or even only Anthony's sperm if they cannot use Natalie's eggs and they still want a child that is at least related to Anthony. So not all is lost. They need to keep an open mind. Talia needs to stop running though. She always ends up pushing Anthony away. They can't have a healthy relationship if she constantly does that. 



Author's Response:

Well, Anthony and Natalia haven't had the alternatives talk yet and may never have to.  But from his mention of adoption and her response, it seems their minds are open to at least some of their other options.  Thanks Miss Star.

Talia is making me crazy,  I just want het to quit running.  Anthony is a real man so treat him as such.  Sabrina is a stalker!!  Is it wrong to want Sabrina slain in carjacking? Who would miss her?She's's like that lone roach that gets caught when the come on!  Good gravy, I love this story!!

Title: Chapter 29 - The One That Got Away

These two will fall apart if the baby is a tumor instead of a child they both desire. Condoms are not a hundred per cent efficient. I wish that next, you will write about Rich because he has all it takes to be the bad boy who falls deep for a girl.



Author's Response:

Nope, condoms are not 100% effective.  But between their low failure rate and her having only three periods in the last year and some change, Nat was sure she had nothing to worry about.  Not sure if I'll write a story about Rich just yet, but you'll definitely see more of him in this one.  Thanks Ket!

These two have been through enough. Please let this be a baby and not another disappointment. On another note, Rich does need a girlfriend in the worst way. His story would be a delightful treat 😉.



Author's Response:

If never written a spin-off, but Rich would be perfert fodder for one.  I'll see what comes to me when this story's done.  Thanks AP!

Title: Chapter 28 - Four's a Tough Crowd

Nat with this damn house...Imma need her to do like that annoying ass Disney song & let it go. Not to mention that Thomas situation probably only made her want to keep it more. And I was surprised to see how she handled his resistance. Especially since I feel like he’s on board for Nat & Ant’s relationship. I’m all for characters beefing, but I enjoyed that you concocted & squashed it all in one chapter. I love that these two love each other enough to not let shit affect them. These two belong together. Can’t wait to see how they handle this upcoming doctor’s visit & future hating ass family members. Thanks for the great chapter JJ.



Author's Response:

Lol.  Yeah, Thomas had Nat stressed over what the relationship was costing Anthony and, therefore, a little gun shy about moving forward.  But she quickly got over that and let Thomas know what's what.  He's willing to accept Anthony's decision to be with her, but probably won't be rallying around him in a support of it.  Oh well.  Neither Anthony or Natalia seemed concerned with it, at least for now.  They shouldn't be, because they've got bigger fish to fry...  Thanks for reading and reviewing, CaramelGal!

Title: Chapter 28 - Four's a Tough Crowd

Thomas was begging for a knuckle sandwich and I have a feeling he'll be the easiest to deal with out of the family Natalia hasn't met yet. After Anthony and Nat have gone through, I hope they don't allow his family to drive a wedge in between them. They deserve to be happy. Update soon please. I love this story. 



Author's Response:

Lol @ the knuckle sandwich!  You're right about Thomas being one of the easiest to deal with.  The others can be beasts.  Hopefully, Nat and Ant can withstand the charge.  Hopefully...  Update posted.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Happy2bNappy!

Title: Chapter 28 - Four's a Tough Crowd

That was truly an intense chapter but I loved it from beginning to end. Anthony loves his brothers and wants to see the best in them but it's funny how the only one that was his back in anything and everything is Rich. Thomas thinks he knows and understands but he has no clue, their father has always been an ass to Anthony almost like he knew the kid wasn't his or something. Just because the douche didn't want anymore kids after Thomas doesn't mean that Anthony deserved to be dismissed just like Natalia never deserved to be dismissed. I would love to know what Rich told Thomas and I am glad that Natalia didn't let her fears push her away from a man that she truly loves.

 

Richard is never going to change that bastard doesn't understand nor does her care about Anthony, he just wanted Anthony away from Natalia and that's why Thomas thought they could make amends as father and son. 

Looking forward to the next chapter.



Author's Response:

Anthony had more faith in Thomas than he deserved.  But I think he knows that now.  Rich is the only one he can truly count on.  What he told Thomas will be discussed in upcoming chapters.

You touched on a great point:  Richard isn't really softening toward Anthony for any reason other than to further his goal of earning Natalia's affections.  And to an extent, she realized that.  We'll see how that works out for him. 

Thanks for reading and reviewing, JovanBleu!

Title: Chapter 1 - Cougars

Well it's official  Rich is my favorite after the story Anthony told  Natalia about the bike trips.    He had so much character, as a child, to know that his father was a prick.  Thomas didn't see anything wrong with the way his father treated Anthony and chose to continue with the outings.  Why is he trying to put Natalia down because of the relationship she has with Anthony.  Mind you they both were treated terribly by this man.  Why should they give a flying fig about him.  Natalia… excuse me …. give me a minute to bow down or high five her.  She  let Thomas know that they were without each for a year trying to appease  society's view of right and wrong and they were miserable.  I thought for a minute  she was going to find a way to end it after Thomas ripped her, but she let Thomas know She nor Anthony owed his father anything.  Richard should have care about Anthony when he was child.  Anthony doesn't need him now.   It seems that they are going to have a united front against their families.  At first, I wasn't too sure because of the way Natalia's family treated Anthony and she didn't tell them to take a hike.  I have hope for these two……but I'm stupid enough not to reserve a patch of my hair to pull out when you flip the script.



Author's Response:

LOL!!!  Oh VeMo, you know me so well. 

I heart Rich too.  Thomas is a bit of a daddy's boy and a Talerico loyalist.  He sees Nat as a threat to both. 

Nat and Ant will need a united front and big brother Rich for the foolishness ahead.  Stay tuned...

Thanks VeMo!

Title: Chapter 14 - The Reaping

You did an excellent job dealing with such difficult subject matter. This book is quite good. So many authors lack originality in dealing with relationships that start due to unplanned pregnancy. You took that storyline and made it heavy, heartfelt and very emotionally real.
