Hey, sorry! Been so busy with school and work, I barely have anytime to take a break to sleep properly. But as I anticipated, that was intense... 😳 I understand Jack being upset, but to say that to his mom was a lot; hell it hurt me for a second lol. I'm glad he apologized tho. As for his interaction with Michael, I expected as much. It's unfortunate that he really feels like Mike abandoned them, when really Mike would've done anything in his power to be there for him and Becca. I'm glad they had that moment so at least all of the immediate, raw emotions are out of the way. Now they can focus on building the bond that should've been there from the beginning.
Now on to Mike and Becca... The tension that is about to take place in this house, ouuu child 🤦ðŸ¾â™€ï¸. I'm sure Mike is going to feel out of place in between his feelings for Becca and his obligations as a priest. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried avoiding being alone with her for long stretches of time, which isn't going to make the frustration or confusion any better. But hopefully, Michael will find peace in himself and get the answer to his question.
As always, great update! I mean it when a say you are a truely talented writer! 🥰♥ï¸♥ï¸♥ï¸ Patiently waiting for the next update!

you are so right, the more they are together the more intense the feeling become as they start to surface. he will need to find the balance if he wants a future with Becca because his feelings for her and his faith run deep.
thanks for taking time out of your busy life to read and review. Much appreciated

Of course he figured it out the kid the aint stupid, they should've told him sooner anyway
Hopefully now he knows the truth he will build a bond with his father too
Its obvious Michael and Becca still love each other, there's nothing that could stop them from dating again, his feelings for her always been stronger than the church so basically all he has to do is take off the necklace and be with the woman he loves, love is more important than the church at the end of the day
Author's Response:
now they all can build on a relationship and possibly more if he can let go of his guilt. it could be a great thing for all of them. thanks so much for reviewing

I believe it is going to be a long battle. Their son is 13 he will wonder why:
Why is is father a priest?
Why did his mother keep his father from him?
Why did his father never look for him?
I assume Jack will be angry, might even cause a little battle between Becca and Mike.
But LOVE cures all. I am sure with love and understanding they will get through this togther.

Loved the update. I gotta say that I am still upset with Becca because she took something so pivotal from him that can never ever be given back. He missed out on the. Most important years of his son’s life. I despise her for that. She knew Mike so well. She should have known better than to keep this from him. She should have trusted him enough to let him make his own decisions, but unfortunately she did not. In my eyes she can never redeem herself, because it is inexcusable. I wonder how Michael can keep on loving her. But I guess you will make me understand in time. I am still hoping for a happy ending though I find it hard given the circumstances. I don’t think Mike will ever get over it and I certainly would not blame him. Thank you for writing. 😘

Still think it's wrong what they did with not telling Michael about Jack and vice versa wonder what they told Jack about his father, it's time they tell Jack too, he's old enough to understand how much longer will they wait? I wouldn't blame the kid if he gets mad at his mother and the others
I wouldn't forgive them that easy or maybe not at all, they basically robbed a child from a father who would've loved to raise him
Mr and Mrs Thompson I'm kinda dissapointed in them still they knew Michael would've loved to find about Jack, did nobody think about the child either? Who deserves to know it's father?

Good for Mike for standing up for what he believes is right! Not going on the retreat! Give me a break!! They swipe the infedilities and pedophilia under the carpet, but a man whom has a son and wants to get to know him and do the right thing they ask for him to reflect and retreat! That's right Michael its Bullshit!!!!!
He can still be a God fearing man without being so dedicated to the church. He can get to know his son and eventually help raise him..
Great update Tink! Can't wait for the next update!

That's cold how the church did Michael. He came to them and was up front and honest about what was going on in his life and they was like this is what you need to do. I'm proud of Michael he was like I'm choosing my son over this church if you will not give me any choice.
Author's Response:
Yea they could care less and only cared about how it would look on them. now he is free to move on but it will hard for him to just give up what he has known for so long. thanks for reading

Way to go Mike! His last action speaks volumes! He should really follow Tony’s advice. He is so right! Great chapter
Author's Response:
I'm sure he will struggle with tring to figure out what is right to do. He's been a priest for so long. thanks for reading.

Ok.... So, that was intense. Not what I anticipated. I'm glad Rick was able to talk with Mike, even if it meant coming to him unannounced. Lol. That's not the reaction that I expected for Mike to receive. They could've atleast given him the time off, then see how he felt about the situation and make that decision. But I guess this would be a more realistic reaction 🤷ðŸ¾â™€ï¸ But like I said before, this may be an opportunity for Mike to follow both his calling and be with his family in the states. He could be an advisor, do missionary work, honestly a long list to choose from.
I just hope Becca doesn't freak out about it... Anyways great update! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸
Author's Response:
I try to make it as realistic as possible and in this case, I took a guess how they would react. I am catholic so I understand the inner runnings of the church so it helps and read up on some things. we shall see what he decides to do but maybe his hand being forced helped. thanks for reading.

It's sweet how Katherine wants to meet Jack I'm sure once she gets to know him she'll spoil him
Still I don't get Rick of he was honest to his best friend all those years ago Jack didn't have to miss out on his father and Michael would've been there for his son from day one, by the way Rick and Beccas parents smh at them too they should've told atleast one of their kids to tell Michael about Jack
Glad the bodyguard is just that and nothing more to Becca so atleast Michael will have a fair chance to be in his son's and Beccas life
Honestly I'm not surprised about the church acting like that, they need to move to this century with their beliefs and not stay stuck in the 1800s orso
Hopefully it's not too late for Jack and Michael to build their father son bond
Author's Response:
Rick was caught between a rock and a hard place with Becca threatening to not let them see Jack. He had already fallen in love with thebaby. Doesnt make it right but I kinda understand. Mike was definately the victim in it as well as Jack. Now all the cards are on the table its time to get to know his son and hopefully figure out where he and Becca stand. no obsticles except the oens he fights with in his own mind.
Thanks so much for reviewing

Great update glad something's got said. That was a real shock to Michael when he seen his son for the first time. And his reaction to Rick was real good he was honest at how mad and hurt he for him not telling him about his son.

Cute chapter. I remember hating boys and being grossed out by my brother's friend writing me a note that said "I love you, do you love me; yes or no?" I said no and he didn't speak to me for a month.

That's hilarious

New reader here. I really love how descriptive but not overly detailed in your writing. I am really looking forward to finding out more about these characters and their journey.

Wow, what an outburst of emotions. Poor Michael, they really did him so wrong - I would even go as far as saying the played him. No wonder he had a meltdown in the elevator. Rick ought to be ashamed of himself. Sure he promised his sister but Mike had a right to know. I totally understand Becca‘s conflict and I herbal turmoil but Rick. It wasn’t fair and definitely not right to keep it all a secret. Well written. I sincerely hope, though, that Michael and Becca will find a way to be together. And honestly, I believe that Tony‘s suggestion sounds not only reasonable but also tempting
Author's Response:
they really did do him wrong. the question is can he forgive and take a chance on becoming a family. thanks for reviewing.

Can’t blame Mike for being mad at Rick. He understands why but still he lost 13 years of his sons life. He buried his feelings for a Becca to become a priest. Now everything he is not suppose to feel is at a head, he has a son!
i am sure it will take time for both of them. But he is willing to try.
looking forward to seeing what happens next
Author's Response:
they are both willing to try. in doing so hopefully they will open their hearts and become something. thanks for reading
