What the frak?! Anthony's grand gesture is nice but he didn't even know what she had going back in Texas. What if another man was there? Anthony disappeared without a word.
I love that Natalia is a pharmacist. I haven't run across many stories about us. :-)
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like the pharmacist aspect of the story.
I know what you're saying about Anthony showing up unannounced at Nat's house. He doesn't know her situation. As it stands, he doesn't seemed terribly concerned either. He came for his baby. More on that next chapter.
Thanks for reading and commenting, JFJD!

I am so glad she is pregnant and she made the decision to keep her child and really not pay her sister any attention about killing her child. Barbara is an ass for calling her nephew a bastard, I know she believes its a bad idea to keep the baby and she has voiced that but enough of her mouth she needs to take of her on house. Anthony really came through! I can't wait to know what Richard will do when he finds out.
Author's Response:
I think there's a petition circulating to evict Barb. She really does need to respect her sister's decision and go home. Will she? We'll soon see. Richard's reaction is coming in future chapters. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Kimyso!

OH, I JUST LOVE THIS STORY! AGE DOES NOT DETERMINE THE CHARACTER OF A MAN AND ANTHONY, THOUGH 25 IS A MAN! MORE OF A MAN THAN HIS FATHER. YAY FOR ANTHONY. AND NATALIA HAS THE COURAGE OF HER CONVICTIONS. IT IS HER DECISION, NO MATTER WHICH WAY SHE GOES. ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY, I'M GLAD SHE IS KEEPING THE BABY IN LIGHT OF HER STRONG DESIRE TO HAVE A CHILD. SHE IS A STRONG WOMAN, SHE CAN DO THIS. AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE SHE WON'T BE DOING IT ALONE.
I SURE HOPE THERE IS MORE.....SOOOOOOON......

Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nyeesha!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story.
I agree--age doesn't determine the character of a man. We'll see what part Anthony plans to play and how Nat handles that and the pregnancy in future chapters. Updates forthcoming.
Reviewer: Nyeesha Signed [Report This]Date: January 18 2014 06:56 am
Oh my, now the fun really begins. Your story deals with the serious subect of single parenthood with humor and that can be hard to do. So glad Anthony came through--now he can hold her hair while she throws up and I wouldn't trust Barbara around my bas...er, baby.
Nat may be older than Anthony, but she will age gracefully and he will catch up. In a way she is saving him from his crazy father. I like that she is smart with a regular job and he is going to be a great writer.
Loving your long updates.
Author's Response:
Thanks Penelope! So glad you're enjoying the story. It remains to be seen if poor Nat will continue holding her own hair. Anthony will make his intentions next chapter. Though I can't promise 7K words, a new chapter is in the works. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

There is nothing else to say but wow! to how you end a chapter. Damn that was good. Your charaters are so friging explosive. As exhausted as I am, I cannot help but rub my eyes and keep on reading. Wow! This was such an marvelous chapter and your AMAZING ability to write this story from two different points of view separatey, but still show each person's reaction simultaneouly is simply 'The Best,' let me quote the amazing Tina Turner. I cannot wait to read the next chapter. I'm sorry Joelle, I cannot write you a review on the story or this chapter because I'm still in awe over the writing. Give me a day or so to get the grin off my face about this chapter. I'm hooked again. Bravo..

I need to frame this review for those dark days when I'm feeling less than adequate. Thank you, Caribbean Fire, for the amazing review and for making my day. I REALLY appreciate it!
Reviewer: Caribbean Fire Signed [Report This]Date: January 18 2014 02:15 am
I have to say this was one of my favorite chPters because Natalia did what she had to do by telling Anthony the truth. The only thing that she did wrong was assuming he didnt want to have anythi NH to do with the child because of who his father was and what he had done to her. Her sister gets on my nerves and needs to go away. Im glad that Anthony showed up and wants to be apart of his child's life. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response:
I think everyone is with you on wanting Barb to pack up and head back to her husband. She seemed convinced Anthony wouldn't be involved with the baby. Nat was more hoping he wouldn't. More on that and Anthony's intentions next chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing, JovanBleu!!!

Anthony fooled you didn't he Nat? Her sister Barbara is really annoying, I wish that she go away! I knew that Anthony would be a real man unlike his lame father. Thank you for this amazing chaper! Happy New year.

“My baby is here. Where else would I be?”
This made me fall in love with Anthony.
And Barb needs to take her judgemental ass home. Will she call that baby a bastard once it's born?
This is a good read.

I am also looking forward to Richard's reaction. Btw Richard is sure a piece of work!
This story is funny as hell... A second Xmas gift... yay! 'Til next time cheerio...

I don't agree with her views on abortion. I don't think having an abortig makes you weak in any form.
Author's Response:
I'm going to assume you mean you don't agree with the views Nat expressed about abortion--which are generally pretty vague with the exception of her saying she doesn't equate abortion with birth control as her sister would suggest she do. Only Barb has strong views, and hers don't assign value to procedure. Neither Nat nor Barb say that abortion makes you either weak or strong. Nat simply explains why it's not right for her while Barb agrues that it is. The only time strength is mentioned is when Nat talks about adoption; and she actually says she lacks the strength to be able to give up her child. Whether weakness or strength is intimated with respect to abortion, as with most things, is subject to interpretation. But it's not something I deduced when re-reading the story. In any case, I respect your right to your opinion about abortion and the story. Thanks for reading and commenting, Sleek.

Payback is a bitch! God don't like ugly and now their is a child involved because of you need for revenge. Tell Anthony that he helped to create a life and I believe that he will be more of a man than his father. Great as usual!
Author's Response:
Yes it is and no He doesn't. We'll see how Anothony reacts to the news next chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Pam!!!
Reviewer: pmgayles Signed [Report This]Date: December 19 2013 03:33 am
Wow, that was deep!!! I have to say in some twisted way revenge was over powered by a choice to love a baby that she has always wanted. Given the fact that she thought through all her options and didn't take the cowards way out by not having it, by not putting it up for adoption, by not telling the father she has chosen the path to rectify her pain and anger which lead to a twisted revenge plot. Looking forward to seeing this tale unfold. Thanks for another amazing chapter.
