Well, I personally am still getting my head around the fact you've killed both Roo AND Angelo off. On the one hand, it sucks, because they're such vital characters to the whole story (Roo not so much as Angelo) and I wanted them all to have happy endings. On the other hand, I like the potential for Roman and Nicole's Father/Daughter relationship as they both deal with their losses. They've somehow got to grieve themselves and support one another. That is, if and when Nicole manages to get free. I can't believe she kissed Penn back though. What is THAT all about? Are Red and Zoe onto something? Has he drugged her? Or is the situation just THAT messed up she doesn't need drugging? It does say she wanted him to put her down whilst he was carrying her up the stairs. Maybe she's just completely frozen with shock and fear she can't do anything? Arghhh, what is going on? OMG, I hope they can find Nicole before DOCS find out, because if they think either of the children are in danger, especially after this (where TWO people are already dead), she may well not get them back, but you wouldn't be cruel enough to leave Nic with NOTHING, would you??? (Well, she'll have Roman andAden, but I'm not sure she'll be comforted by it). Now I'm even more worried. Can't wait for the next part.

It's 12:30am, I'm tired, but started reading the updates and couldn't stop. I had a whole heap of comments I wanted to make, then you go and do THAT. Now, I've forgot everything. I can't believe you just killed Angelo off. Now I need the next update real soon, ok??? Again, I apologise for being away from here for so long. Though I may be wishing I'd stayed away after this. Just kidding. Seriously, I loved it Zetti.

Cold, wet and windy. It's 14°C, but it feel a LOT colder. We've had the heating on today and we very, very rarely do.

It's been chucking it down with rain pretty much most of this morning. Has eased for the minute (Though it's still raining a little) and it's fairly bright. Temperature is 14°C.

It's been overcast all day. A few dark clouds around with the odd shower, but nothing heavy. It's 15°C at the minute.

Thank you all of you

Thank you Dingo, QA, Carina, Lesley, Zoe, Sabrina, Kristina (You have AWESOME taste in couples!), Zetti and Barbara The comments mean a lot. A random update:

That is so pretty! I love them all, but that one jumped out at me right away.

Wow, I've missed a lot. Firstly, and most importantly, sorry to hear you've been so unwell again Zetti. Glad you're back home now and I hope you take it easy and rest for as long as necessary. Secondly, at the updates. I loved the last Roo/Roman one. I hope they eventually sort things out. It's obvious they're still very much in love with one another. Likewise Nicole and Angelo. It's heartbreaking to see how much she wants (needs) her family back together. I still have a hope they will one day be reunited. Still not liking Penn, Stacey or Julianne. Fabulous updates Zetti. Ipromise to keep focused on reading updates sooner from now on. I apologise for being so inactive of late.

Thank you again Zetti, Lesley, Sabrina, Carina, Dingo and QA. The comments are hugely appreaciated. Random update.....

The ones of George are adorable. Lovely update, Barbara

Thank you Sabrina, Lesley, Carina, Zetti, Dingo, QA, Zoe and Barbara. Another random update with various characters and colourings.

lmao. I love those Jen. They're so quirky and unique.

OMG, The twists just keep coming, don't they?! Just hearing Penn call him his son makes me SO angry. Yeh, because Angelo's so much worse than you, Penn. Aww, I love how he's being so cautious for Rob. What a nice little part. <3 Not nice because of the situation, just nicely written. Rob! Angelo calling him "Sport" is so adorable. <3 Both so adorable. !!!!!! OH MY GOD. Mia!? MIA?!!!! WTF has happened now? It's like one bad luck after the other. I'm with the others, I'm thinking Stacey and/or Julianne have something to do with this. I do hope Mia is found soon though. With Rob tied to explosives and Mia missing, Nicole wont know where to put herself. That poor girl just can't catch a break. I really hope both the children are home safe soon. It's heartbreaking to have them going through this. Another awesome, angsty update, Zetti Can't wait for the next one.

Firstly, I want to apologise for how much of this I've missed. I haven't been hugely active on BTTB, other than a bit of a browse, because I've had other stuff going on. I've settled now for the weekend, so I've just read the updates I've missed. I shalln't do my usual quoting thing because, with more than one update, it gets a bit chaotic and confusing, but I promise, I have read every single bit. I kind of agree with Pembie. I'm having a bit of trouble knowing who to trust. Aside from Angelo, Nicole, Roman and Roo, of course. I'm not entirely convinced Aden is completely innocent here. I don't know if that's intentional, or if I've misinterpreted and he is completely innocent, but his arrival did somewhat happen out of the blue. But why would he be involved??? I'M SO CONFUSED. THIS didn't help either. WHAT????? What is going on???? My brain still hurts. I'm really looking forward to the next installment now. Hopefully, I should be back to my usual quoty-replying self soon

Thank you Zetti, Carina, Lesley, Zoe, QA, Sabrina, Lise and Barbara A very random, unorganised update....

My brain hurts. LOL. I can understand that. Involving the Police is risky, even if it is for the best. If she thinks involving the Police will make things worse, it's understandable she's be unsure if it's the right move or not. Aww. I hate it too. It's amazing just how much their relationship is so incredibly bittersweet. I'm sure neither of them thought any possible reunion would be around such drama. This Stacey girl is the same one Angelo slept with in Realisations, isn't she?! If so, I applaud such amazing continuity. OK, That's all kinds of heartbreaking. HE DID WHAT?! THIS IS NOT GOOD. OMG. Stacey can't be too bad, if Rob doesn't mind her. How is all this "protecting" Tyler(?) exactly? Has this guy, whoever he is, lured her in with a threat towards her son??? What is going on!? Rob thinking his Mother doesn't want him. That's so sad. It's kind of a blessing that BTTB doesn't allow swearing, because I could swear hugely at that. So evil, even if she doesn't want to be. Who puts a little boy through this?! Rob's such a smart boy, knowing they "having fun" without him because they don't know he's there. That, right there, literally put a lump in my throat. ..But what does it matter to the kidnapper bad guy person that Stacey is a woman that ended up pregnant by Angelo after a one night stand? (Thanks for reminding us of that by the way. Really nice of you. ) Why does he have such a hold over her that makes her unable to walk away? Or is he just that manipulative and scary? I kinda feel bad for Stacey too. Not in the same way I feel for Nicole, Angelo and Rob, but still, she obviously doesn't really want to do all this. It's all very confusing and sad, yet amazingly written. As always, I look forward to the next update.

Probably not what I should be thinking, but I still can't help but adore the little Nic/Angelo moments. Just the simple though of them climbing into bed together is so adorable I can't help but squee, even in such dramatic circumstances. See what you've done to me?! Angelo kind of has a point, and I hadn't thought of it like that until then. With everything they've been through, this would be such an ideal time to have a bit of breakdown, and people could easily think that's what it is. Then the situation could just end up even more out of control than it already is. Having said that, they have to do something. If, indeed, they contact the police, they're going to have to act fast. If these people have been in contact, but don't want to be known just yet, they'd have to move around a lot, otherwise there's the possibility of them being traced, through these phone calls or any other way the police track down these kind of people. Awww. I really hope it happens sooner rather than later. Yet another adorable Motherly!Nicole moment. Yes! Reveal your identities, now! Who is this guy??? So it's somebody Nicole has already been with. Penn? (Maybe he's not dead. You never know in fanfic land). Other options possibilities do include Trey and Elliot, but I'm not sure Elliot ever really believed they were good together. Trey I could believe. Or is it just an OC ex? I'd still plunge for Penn, Elliot or Trey. Unless Geoff's gone crazy, LOL. Another great chapter, Zetti. So much intrigue. Can't wait for the next update

Yey for an update. Sorry I didn't read it sooner. Awww, Rob! That poor boy. This is the 2nd time he's been kidnapped in his life, and he's still only so young. That's horrible. Who are these people?! Awww. </3 Aww, bless Aden. I love the fact he and Mia have bonded. Aodrable. Roman! Don't be silly! ...Or she'll just push him further away. Pull yourself together, people! *Does a little dance*. They're back together. <3 My heart appreciates that. So sad But he should be back! Not with these evil people that don't love him like his parents do! Grrr! Another amazing (and sad) chapter Zetti. Really heartbroken for them all. I do hope they can all be together again some day. They've been through more drama than most families ever have. Can't wait for the next update

Good golly, you move fast with getting these written and posted, don't you? LOL. Not that I'm complaining. Aww, poor Nic. Awww, I'm so glad she took him back. Lets hope things can work between them. Who is Aden dating?! Is it just a random or a familiar face? Lovely speech. Brax would be right. Awww. At least they can see a future. I like that. They'll never forget Rob, but they have to move on too. Angelo Not funny at all! What on earth?! They both sat there staring at the paper, neither of them knew what to make of it, it was very confusing and they both had no idea what to do. LMAO. That really did make me laugh. WTF?! So, like, he's not dead?! Was he...... kidnapped? By Penn's sister?! All this time? That's awful! OMG, I just had a thought...... Is Aden dating Penn's sister without realising it?! Or am I totally jumping to the wrong conclusion there?! Because they obviously didn't know his sister beforehand, so they wouldn't know. I hope I'm wrong, of course. LOL. Honestly, Zetti, one chapter in and I'm already so intruiged and confused! What are you like? LOL. I'm very glad you're writing this though. I can't wait to see where this all goes. At least with Rob not dead, there's now chance of some sort of happy ending. I hope so anyway, but I know you Can't wait for the next update already

I REFUSE TO COMMENT. *folds arms across chest and stamps feet* That was MEAN. I'm all heartbroken. --- Now, seriously. I'm not going to quote as much as I usually do, because there was so much happening, I'd probably quote it all. LOL. I love how you brought Irene into it Kind of stopped wishing for much from here on. They're not good odds! Again, another pefect line. Stop it!!! Don't pause it, stop it!!!! If they think they can make it work down the line, then they don't want to be getting divorced yet. They may want to stay married in the end. As much as it breaks my heart every time Angelo expresses defeat in himself, I adore how consistent you've been with that throught the whole story. Even now, when Nicole's ready to move on, he's still doubting his worth. Beautifully written. Another perfect, powerful line (I bet you're sick of hearing that by now! LOL. Sorry). ADEN!!!!! Is he the..... doctor? Or did I read that wrong. Either way, wow at you for putting that in the final chapter. Another thing I've adored about this whole thing is Angelo's obvious love and devotion to BOTH the children. Rob's DNA has always been completely irrellevent to a point where, at times, even I forgot he wasn't biologically Angelo's. It's such a great thing to read. As much as I've wanted them back together for pretty much most of it, I do like how it's taken them until right at the last point to make it official. It sort of makes everything worth it. *Amy sobs* That was the most heartbreaking, dramatic twist I've read in any fanfic ever. I've really adored Rob as a character, even if he didn't always say much, but he was sweet and it's heartbreaking that such a horrible, tragic thing happened to him. Now, onto my essay. I've genuinely adored reading this Zetti. Along with Realisations, it's been the first long-fic I've read in a really long time, and it's been so worth it. From the drama of the kidnapping in Realisations, to putting that behind them and starting their own family, and then all the drama that's followed that, it's been such a roller-coaster. I've loved the little glimpses of their happier times, and the way it's been such a huge contrast to the dramas they've gone through. I'm awfully sad it's ended the way it has, but there's no doubt it will be a fanfic that sticks with me, for that very reason. It's also kind of inspiring that you've given it such a dramatic ending that leaves the door open for this whole new story (That's not a hint, unless you want it to be *cough*) of their grief and their relationship following such a traumatic event. Honestly, I don't really know what else to say except thank you for writing it and sharing it with us. I hope, one day, you'll write more Nicole/Angelo fics. You're a very talented, creative writerand I'm so glad you wrote this and shared it with us. Thank you so much.

Penultimate chapter! Awww, I'm sad. Poor Rob. What a tough time! Little guy doesn't have much luck, does he? </3 I'm glad Roman didn't glare at him. I know he's no fan, but it's about Rob, not them. Poor Nicole. Angelo, indeed! They need to comfort one another, me thinks. They're both going though the hell, and it's heartbreaking. I don't know why, but even now, two fics and many, many chapters later, my heart still leaps when Rob is reffered to as Angelo's son <3 At least they've called a truce though, even if it's only a temperary thing. Fair enough that Roman doesn't trust him. It's his family too, so it's not surprising. But he's doing the right thing by trying to relieve the tension at least a little. Awww! <3 Angelo looked at her and made her sit down with him on the chairs nearby. YEY! I'm glad they cleared it up. I know Nic was angry when she said that to begin with, but it must have been suck a kick in the guts for Angelo, ad it's so nice that she's expressed the fact she doesn't see it that way at all to him. I think he needed to hear that. ‘I appreciate that Nic; we need to make sure that Rob is okay.’ WHY?! Are they still divorcing? Are they not? I NEED TO KNOW!!!! Awww. Come on Rob, be that fighter Roo is so certain you are!!!!! That such a heartbreaking little image. Awww, another fabulous update Zetti. I'm glad Roman and Angelo called a truce, and I'm hopeful that, with that in mind, there's some hope of a happy ending here. All we need is Rob to wake up, Angelo and Nicole to reunite (I'll settle for a hint that it may happen in thefuture if needs be!) and a little bit of happiness for them all. I want to say I'm looking forward to the next update, but it's the last one, and that makes me sad. LOL.

Awww, only 3 parts left. that will be a sad moment, when it all ends. I've loved reading this so much. I actually think that's a good idea. Even if he wants to make things right, he's still living with the torment, which has been obvious all along. Counselling might actually do him good, so long as he's willing to do that of his own accord. Spot on. And if neither of them are moving on, the kids have no chance. Understandable. I don't think any parent could prepare for that sight. I like how subtle that was. <3 Good! After everything they've already been through, the added stress of concerns from DOCS would have been too much. Angelo. That's so sad. Understandable. I don't know how I'd cope, and I'm in no way related/connected to this fictional child. LOL. I *adored* Roo andRoman mirroring the line about Rob being a fighter. That's why they're so perfect together. <3 I love how concerned Roo is for Angelo. Mia She must be so confused and scared. DON'T SAY THAT. We need POSITIVITY, people!!! Stay Positive <3 3 parts to give them a happy ending, I think we can do it, but can we?!!!!! Only you can tell us, Zetti. Another amazing update.
