Poor Ryan. The Atwoods really did a number on him.
No wonder he still fears to be too much trouble and that the Cohens will get fed up with him. It's the only thing he ever knew. And Dawn's words before still have a high impact.
It will take a long time and lots of love and reassurances from the Cohens to get his self-esteem build enough that he realizes and believes that he deserves to be loved and that not he was the problem, but Dawn and her cruel sick drug-infested self.
The Cohens are on the right way. They just have to continue to do what they are doing and not let work and stuff distract the again this much from being parents.

Great update. Thanks for sharing.

Love your new icon Kat.

It's the "bizz" and realllly hot!*waves* mwah

[katwoman76]

NEW??? Sweetie, the one I used is pretty much the first one I made at all. :)
I mean, back in the days I saved it only with the keyword 'Ryan'.
Which says a lot about how long I have it, cause nowadays - that keyword would not help at all with knowing which icon is which (I think I have around 50 icons of Ryan/Ben in various situations by now, so the keywords needed to be more specific over time. )

Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you liked it!
Dawn is a real bitch in this AU (she wasn't that good in canon but here she's definitely worse!) and the Cohens have to reassure their new charge to make him feel he's worth it.

I'm still loving this brassebouillon. I don't think that Dawn had "EVER" wanted Ryan.Bitch!!I'm glad that Ryan is finally albeit slowly allowing himself to be absorbed into this loving and caring family

[brassebouillon]

Thanks for your nice comment! Ryan has to stop to be the parent (as he is in canon!) and let the Cohens do this job!
I can't say anything about the next chapter because I haven't written it yet and the muses are pretty silent...at the end, Ryan's gonna be okay, but how? I don't know yet!

[jassylou]

:)))))...I is still excited LOL *nods* *beaming*
*rubs hands together* *sends you chocolate*.

Aww I loved what kirsten said, that was so sweet and just what Ryan needed to hear. I'm glad also that Sandy isn't going to try and contact Dawn because she would probably just make everything worse.

I love this story so much.

Thanks for you nice comment! I'm glad you like it!
When are we gonna have an update of your great fanfics *puppy eyes*?

[fredsmith518]

his hair feathered across his pale forehead. very nice image that

totally logical that Ryan would miss his mom, loved the way you used Kirsten's words from season 4 in this context

[brassebouillon]

Thanks for your comment! I think that Kirsten should have told Ryan those particularly words sooner than in season 4!

I'm with fred, I really like how you worked in Kirsten's "two children" speech into this chapter. Let's face it, the poor boy needed to hear it long before season four.

[brassebouillon]

Thnaks for commenting!
About Kirsten, I couldn't agree more!
Come on, she obviously loves the kid, so why didn't she tell him that before?!
What about ToF? *begging puppy eyes*

Twist is still in progress. My little one page chapter has turned into six pages. I'm having trouble finding my Sandy voice. However, I still have hopes that I'll have it up sometime this week.
