I don't know which I love more -the new banner or Michael actually stopping with 3/4s of one beer!
I like how you used supporting characters (James and Hayley) to provide a mirroring of Michael and Nina's relationship. Michael needed that. Though, I'm slighly surprised that he didn't need neon signs and interpretation to see it lol.
She needs to tell Michael asap and bring him with her. That's what she needs to do. Pleeeaaaase have her be that smart.
Author's Response:
Yay! I'm glad you like it. I makes like 1000x more sense than the last one.
Michael knows his last chance is up with the drinking issue so that may have been the underlying motive to stay in control. As if that video of the monster Michael didn't scare him enough...
Yes, he did need James's perspective on the similiar situation. It may change how he handles what happened at the end of the chapter...

Aww shit. Grabs my pearls, cause its about to go DOWN. Nina LIED. AGAIN. Michael has every reason to be pissed when this disrespectful thug shows up to his home. Hmmpf! Kick his ass Michael. Outside of Maddox's viewing of course.
Author's Response:
LOL Let's see if she comes clean or if Michael gets a big surprise when Marcus shows up at their door.

well then! good that those two are making some headway for a change..let's see how long it lasts..
with how Maddox was I just hope he doesn't be like the rude children on Maury..
man for that stuff with the media is saying about Michael's shopping..some brain bleach is in order.
P.S. Thank you so much for supporting my Maestro fic. you're the best. <3
looking forward to the next part
Author's Response:
Maddox has been like such the perfect little well behaved child... It's starting to get unrealistic lol He has to act out sometimes. The more things get confusing around him between his dad, Michael, and Nina... the more he'll probably act out.
No problem. And I remember a while back you saying something about me trying out a Maestro fic. I may do that one day. I have a concept in mind. It's a little dark, but we'll see.

It may be a filler in your opinion but I loved it. They were a loving healthy family and getting along. Thanks for the update
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'm glad you loved it! Finally some loving happy family time!

Their mini heart to heart was touching. I love moments like that, when there is intimacy but it isn't corny.
Author's Response:
Its hard sometimes to write lovey-dovey stuff without sounding corny.

Awe damn, here we go! Let's get ready to rumble!! Ish is about to really get REAL now.
Author's Response:
LOL. It will be interesting to see how Michael deals with Marcus since he's not really a phyiscal fighter.

Girl I was waiting on Marcus's ass to pop up on their doorstep the entire time I was reading, talking bout 'good behavior'. Lmao.
I'm glad they got the chance to talk. I still feel though that the type of closure she says she's looking for with Marcus don't match up with all the effort she's putting in to get that closure. Wishing him well and happy is great but all that sneaking around makes it seem like there is more to it than just that. Even her thinking at one point of keeping Marcus around as a fail safe if things with Michael don't work out. I'm very skeptical of this 'closure'.
They didn't make me itch much this chapter at all. I'm proud of them. I can't beleive the girls are walking around already. Be still my heart.
More soon!!! Sending that Internet love your way!! <333 lol.
Author's Response:
LOL I know, I had to postpone his arrival until the next chapter. And yeah... we'll see what Nina does with Marcus is out of jail face to face with her.
The girls are going to be 1 year old very soon! They are growing up so fast.

Lmaoooooo. I loved you for those inbox comments!!! Yes I said I love you for it. You will accept my creepy Internet love and relish it!!!
These two!!
Michael in his superstar get up. I know he did that shit purposfully too. He's starting to wear his masks now. (He did start in the Bad Era) I could imagine him smirking underneath when he found out the baby was going to be a boy!!
THE BABY IS A BOY!!! Yay!
I know Katherine has a dislike for Nina but she's a God fearing woman she could have at least been curtious to her. She's the mother of 2 of her grandchildren about to be 3 now. It's only right she not be rude. Michael we already know his ass can be rude but she should have set an example and practice what she preaches.
i know Michael's ass don't want to discuss this later either. He's hoping to sex her into forgetful land. But this is why they're in the jam they're in now. Not enough talking and being truthful to each other!
Im still baffled as to what closure Nina needs. What is she expecting to happen? Like what she wants Michael and Marcus to vie for her love to see who wins out? Your married to another man closure should have come before any of that.
Let me go put this Goldbond cream on and wait for the next chapter.
More soon!! <333
I updated CTTG btw!!
Author's Response:
LMAO!!! I accept your internet love I don't find it creepy at all LOL
The superstar get up lol yeah he did it cause he knew he would be seen by the paparazzi and fans, but a little part of him did it to be a tease.
Michael's been pretty tore up about Nina several times now and as his mother, even a God fearing one... its hard for Katherine to be nice to Nina.
And right, he has no intentions of talking later... he's tryna get his and fall back into that pretendland so he doesn't have to deal with any of this... for now.
There will be more about Marcus later. He's a free man next chapter so watch out!
I saw that!! I finally just got a minute to read it too and I reviewed <3 <3 Amazing as always.

Is it wrong that I'm waiting for Grace to become a little creepy and controlling? This super-understanding Grace, is a bit unnerving lol.
Michael's mother needs to try and have a heart to heart with Nina. She's against divorce and for connection, so supporting Michael's skepticism feels odd.
The fight-make up sex cycle they are in is strong. How does he think they will have time to talk later on the plane? Umm...small space, Maddox, twins, employees.....it's hard to argue quietly, and most of what they do is argue. :/
(side note: none of this is criticism of your writing; it's just b/c I'm very into the story lol)
Author's Response:
LOL!! I don't know though... If I was MICHAEL JACKSON's employee, nanny whatever I'm pretty sure I'd be super understanding too. He'd have to damn near kill me before I'd want to quit or anything. Though, she might eventually hit a breaking point if she feels the children are ever effected.
In Katherine's defense, she's never really liked Nina since the first chapter of the first story. She is against divorce, but what can you do when your child marries someone you know isn't good for them? It's not like she could have stopped Michael from marrying the woman... So now she's in kind of an "I told you so." position.
and LOL he DOESN'T he's skirted heavy conversations with Nina forever... he has no intentions of having a talk on the plane. He just wanted to bury Mike Jr in his hot wife go back to their happy zone and pretend none of this drama will happen again.
(side note: our reader/reviewer relationship has grown deep, I'd say. I understand and appreciate ALL of your comments I wouldn't care if you outright flamed me. lol)
Date: Feb 15, 2015 03:40 am Title: Being In love and Loving Someone
man I could really begin to dislike Nina..I mean sure Michael screwed up but Nina is so petty expecting Michael to be like an emotionless robot after what she said..
and LOL at the chapter notes..you're too funny!! XD
hope I'm not scaring you but you're an awesome new friend :)
Author's Response:
Right! But Michael was wrong too playing the whole 'ignore' game with her and making his employees and his mother shun her.
LOL why would you be scaring me?! I know I'm a totally awesome friend lol jk jk All of you so far that I've met on this site seem to be pretty cool people. I'm glad I decided to join.
Date: Feb 14, 2015 10:17 pm Title: Being In love and Loving Someone
YES!! It's a BOY!!! ;)
These two are still acting crazy. They were wrong for putting the doctor in the middle of their mess.
Michael was even more wrong for bringing Katherine and letting her and himself behave the way they did. I would've slapped them both! Now, all this drama is ridiculous. Ninas still under the impression that any man worth his salt, would put up with this Marcus shit. Give me a break!
Shaking my head at these two fucking like Bill said. Really, after all this mess! ? I'd interrupt their asses.
Grace...lol.
Maddox...poor boy don't know what to make of that "noise."
I loved your little box comments! Very funny, but realistic reactions. Thank you!
Author's Response:
Thank you!!
They were wrong for putting the dr, and the employees in the middle of that! Nina should have told Michael to start with that she couldnt be with him until seeking closure with Marcus and maybe they wouldn't be in this constant mess.
LOL at Bill interrupting them. After all they put him through he should have!

*Paces the floor for a bit... Looks over at you then continues to pace...
SMFH!!!!!
I'm glad that Michael finally witnessed his destructive behavior. He needs to take the time to get counseling at the VERY least. His promises when it comes to alcohol a pretty empty so I don't blame Nina on that front...Now...
Nina Nina Nina you finally said how you really feel. I'm under the impression she is over romanticizing her relationship with Marcus in her head. Yeah I get she loves him and I get that he's the father of her child but she will come to see that the man won't live up to the legend she remembers in her mind when he gets out. I hope the realization hits her like a ton of bricks so it can knock some sense in her head. This break is low key what she wanted anyway. Like I said before itchy skin and high blood pressure is what they give me.
I'm sending you my Goldbond lotion and blood pressure medication bills!!! Lmao.
more soon!! <333
Author's Response:
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right Nina is on a path to destroy her relationship with Michael and for someone who (you're right) she is living more in the memory of. Jail time changes people and not always for the better. He's only been in there since 6 months before the start of the last story so a total of almost 2 years. It ain't really like he's learned a huge lesson.
Date: Feb 10, 2015 04:17 am Title: A Sobering Experience
I can see how the song would be..
Good glory is their drama gonna give me high blood pressure or what..*rubs temples*
But I hope Michael could prove her wrong..
Looking forward to seeing the new banner.
Author's Response:
LOL and you ain't seen nothing yet. I haven't forgotten your banner either. One of these days soon I'll sit down and work on it. I don't just want to throw something together like I do for myself it'll be good.
