Oye vey1 Shock the hell outta A.J. why don';tcha Brian!?!?! Tryin' to give the poor younger man a heart-attack or what!?!?!?!
Wonderful update!!!! BRIAN BETTER GET BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Lenni~
Author's Response: Brian had to tell somebody didn't he? Of course he was rather blunt as he said it, but can't really blame him. I probably would have said the same thing. Then again, I have a pretty foul mouth for a girl so compared to Brian, mine wouldn't have been so sugar coated. I'd say it's all part of the coping process for Brian. As always, thanks for the review! I'll try to crank out an update soon, hopefully before Brian and I move to Florida. [Ashley]

Amazing chapter....so worth the wait! :o) I'm happy that Leigh and Brian made up...and she isn't mad at him at the moment. Poor Baylee though...he just wants time with daddy. Poor little guy. I agree with Aj though. Brian needs to stop acting like he is already dead. He's still got time left! Great update...and if you dont get one before you are in Florida....there needs to be a double update when you do get there! haha. J/K...take your time. Glad I could inspire you with this chapter!
Author's Response: I think we all agree with AJ when it comes to Brian acting like he is already dead. Then again, you can't really blame Brian. He's dealing with a shit load and I can't imagine dealing with that. I had a dream a couple months ago that I was in the same position he was and I can't even begin to describe the feelings, except that it was absolutely horrible and nightmarish. Glad you liked the chappie though and I'll try my best to get the next chappie out before I move to Florida. Thanks for the review Ashie! [Ashley]

I never write a review to a chapter when there's already way more story after it, but I can't help myself. I have to head to bed cause I gotta get up at 6 for class, so I can't keep reading, but I just want to let you know Ash, that this chapter is amazing. I cried a little *smiles sheepishly*. It's just so real! I felt like I was there right beside Brian, but being able to feel how sick and off he felt at the same time. It's so incredibly sad and heartbreaking. I cannot wait to read more of this story. First thing tomorrow afternoon when I get home, I'ma continue on with this thing. I don't even know if you'll see this, but who cares! You'll be hearing more from me when I'm done. Your writing is incredible. I'm highly impressed!
Author's Response: Awww Dani! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful compliments and feedback. As an author yourself I am sure you understand exactly how much it means to get such a detailed review! :) I was really hoping you would take a look at this (ITNC) and maybe leave me a review, so you have totally made my night or morning if you want to be more politically correct. Yes, it's 4:20am and I'm still awake. Brian (my boyfriend) and I have been packing, well trying to at least, considering we have one more week before we are out of our place and then we are moving to Florida! I honestly can not wait to see what else you think of ITNC. Thanks again so much for your wonderful review! You're awesome! :) [Ashley]

Amazing chapter, Ash! Leigh should give Brian a break though. He is going through enough right now without her sour puss ass giving him the cold shoulder. Nick is an awesome friend...hopefully he can help Brian see the good in the time he has left. Please update again soon....I absolutely am in love with this story!
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback! I'm blaming Leigh's bitchiness on pregnancy hormones. And I decided it was about time that someone smacked some sense into Brian, so I volunteered Nick for the job. Aren't I such a nice author? LoL [Ashley]
Date: 02/01/08 09:54 pm Title: Chapter 1
im confused...maybe its been awhile since iread that part, but didnt brian give up on surgery? or was that surgery on his own heart and he would be willing to get a transplant? either way, it can sorta be like john q cant it? minus the hostage situation of course, but like near the last minute he can get a donor! please!
Author's Response: It's not that Brian gave up on surgery, it's that Dr. Henrich in the beginning told him that further surgeries would be more detrimental to his deteriorating health. Brian isn't against the transplant surgery if they can find a donor. He's just always been against going to that cardiac center. Thanks for the review and I hope I answered you question. [Ashley]

My heart aches for Brian whenever I read new updates. Still I'm glad to see a new update! Hope Nick can bring Brian out of his funk a little bit and that Leigh will stop being mad at him, he shouldn't have missed the appointment, but hey I think he's got enough on his plate right now! Update soon!
Author's Response: I agree he's got enough on his plate as it is, so I would think it might be a little expected that his mind might wander elsewhere. Although I decided it was finally time that someone needed to put a foot down and smack some sense into him. As you can tell, Nick got the job of doing so. LoL. Thanks for the review! [Ashley]
Date: 02/01/08 06:51 pm Title: Chapter 19
Yeah Nick to the rescue! well sort of. I hope he is able to help Brian get out of his funk a little. I mean what Brian is deeling with cannot be easy but hopefully Nick and the others can help him see that he does not have to stop living yet.
Author's Response: That's why I figured someone had to put a foot down and smack some sense into Brian. Who better to do it then Nick? Thanks for the review! [Ashley]

Thank-you Nick!!!!! Yeesh!!!!!
And they had BETTER find a donor, dammit!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Lenni~
Author's Response: I figured it was about time that someone finally put their foot down and smacked some sense into Brian. And who better to do it then Nick? Thanks for the review! [Ashley]
Date: 02/01/08 06:19 am Title: Chapter 18
Oye vey. If this weren't such a good fic, I'd vow never to read it agian, as it always makes me cry! Lol.
I'd say udpate, but I've actually gotta catch up - haha.
dammit! I DON'T want Brian to die!!!!!!! *wails n scowls*
~Lenni~
Author's Response: Poor Lenni. But if you vowed never to read it again then I would cry because that would make me sad. I always enjoy getting your enthusiastic reviews! Thanks girlie! [Ashley]
Date: 01/25/08 04:10 am Title: Chapter 18
damnit...you made me cry again at the end of the chapter. So emotional. I dont blame Leigh for being a little upset with Brian for missing the appointment...but he has so much on his mind and her giving him the cold shoulder wont help things much. Awesome update, Ash! Can we se another one really soon? Pwease???
Author's Response: Well certainly y'all can see another chapter soon. At least that is the plan anyway. I have basic outlines written up for the next three chapters so that should help a little bit in cranking out chapters quicker. Anywho, thanks for the review and glad to know that you haven't dropped off the face of the planet. I haven't talked to you in ages! [Ashley]

A heart attack?! I wish I had time to read more, but as it is, I'll have to come back later. You do such a great job with the emotion in the writing. I feel like I'm right there with them experiencing the pain first hand. Keep up the good work. I'll be a regular reader of this story from here on out! You have me compeltely hooked!
Author's Response: Ok, may I say shibby to the fact that I've managed to hook you with this? That just makes me feel great and I think I may just have to go do another little happy dance like I did after I updated. LoL. So shibby to your enjoyment and shibby to me hopefully getting a chapter out soon! [Ashley]

Wow, talk about intense. I like this story. The detail you give is amazing. You have a great voice as an author. I can't wait to read more. Gotta go to the next chappie!
Author's Response: Thanks for the uplifting feedback. I really do appreciate it. I'm glad you are enjoying what you have read so far and I look forward to hearing more from you! Thanks again for the review! [Ashley]
Date: 01/23/08 06:50 pm Title: Chapter 18
brian wont be sad anymore if he gets the stinking surgery or something! and keep writing, im here! sometimes the stories get pushed back to far and i wont now it was updated till it gets updated again, but im here to read! :D
Author's Response: Great to hear from you felikia, and don't worry because I still plan on writing no matter what. I actually already have the epilogue written and have had it written for almost three months now (I know, kinda weird since the story is no where near being finished, but I do know how I want it to end). Anyway, thanks for the review! I appreciate it! I should have chapter 19 started soon! [Ashley]
