I'm glad that they had that opportunity to talk things out. It's difficult to just forgive and forget, especially when it comes to cheating. The fact that they've overcoming this makes it that just harder to see her suffer. The emotions you put me through, Timberlake. I'm going to remember this! ;) lol Update soon.

Author's Response: I know. It's nice to see them working at it rather than everything going from bad to good in an instant. It's never just black and white, there's always some gray. I'm glad that I'm putting you through different emotions, lol. Thanks so much for the review, hun. I'll update asap.

"They would be close to each other when Josie got older. I could already tell." :( Another beautifully written chapter my dear, the dialogue between the two of them was just heart-wrenching. It captured so much emotion, your dialogue always does, it felt like you described exactly how they felt about the holes in their relationship, and thats a fantastic trait in an author. And the way you merged past and present at the end was really effective. If I could give this 20 stars I would lol. Great work.

Author's Response: Aw, geez, Helena. I'm blushing like crazy, girl, lol. Thanks so much. I can't even find the words to tell just how grateful I am. Thank you so much.

I always get caught up in the cuteness of the flashbacks, only to be reminded that Nakia's dying. How could you?!?! You are SUCH the meanie. *sobs* Update soon.

Author's Response: LOL! Sorry, hun. I'll try to update soon. Thanks for the review.

Hell yeah Nakia! Kick the shit outta that boy! LOL That was hilarious. I was just thinking "Yeah, you give him one girl"...and she did! lol I also so glad they gave it another go, Justin really did seem sorry. But then, there was that horrible bit at the end of the chapter which just made me think, "Why can't all stories have a happy ending?"

Author's Response: LOL! Yeah, she hit him good! LOL! I'm glad they gave it another go too, Teeny, but it's still bittersweet, isn't it?

I'm with Ani, my heart didn't break too much today! Lol, great chapter as usual, and yet again you packed a punch into it. I loved Justin trying to get Nakia to hit him and I loved Nakia actually doing it lol. And yay Josie for asking Daddy to stay for dinner, the seperation must have been tough on her, poor thing. Update soon!

Author's Response: LOL! I saved you guys the tears. I thought all that sadness was bringing everybody down so I lightened it up a bit, lol. I loved that punching scene! LOL! I was feeling a little angry yesterday, so I added that in to relieve some of my tension, lol. It's always hard on the little ones, isn't it? Josie's so damn cute that it breaks my heart too, lol. Thanks so much for the review, sugar.
