"And, yes, I know this sucks, but I promise to make it better. So tell me true, how much do you hate me right now? ~Ali"

A lot! * sits with arms crossed and pouts*

But I trust you when you say you'll make it better...but it better be soon!

[gradgirl_07]

Sorry you hate me so much. And yes, I am physically incapable of not including a happily ever after for them. Thank you for reading. ~Ali

[gypsiesheart]

It's okay. Like I said....I trust you to make the hurt go away.

And I'll read anything you write. You know that =)

Thank you! And I do appreciate the trust. I know this story is difficult, but happily ever after is on the horizon. :-) ~Ali

This is a fantastic story. I really look forward to reading more.

[gradgirl_07]

Oh, well thank you so much. I really appreciate that. ~Ali

Mark and Lily huh? That should be an interesting pairing. Just hope Mark is up for the job. LOL. And I don't hate you for this. I actually love you for this. When I read that Luke needed to talk to Reid about something, I was thinking that he was going to leave Reid for awhile. Reading that scene in the bedroom made me cry. It was so raw and emotional that my heart broke for both of them. And I love that Mark talked to Reid about the kid situation. The image of Reid curling his body with Luke's pillow made me cry so more. So much heartache. But I do trust you to make it better. But I'm loving the angst. I don't remember Mark, but will re-read to refresh my memory. Thank you for yet another great chapter. .

Mark and Lily is a possibility, I suppose, if he can actually ever speak in front of her. ;-) And I love you for your comment (well, all your comments). Glad you're enjoying the story and everything that is going on. I'm afraid, I cried myself with this chapter. Thank you again! ~Ali

I really liked Mark. The dinner scene was great! I am sad for the boys...fix please?

[gradgirl_07]

Thank you. I will fix, I promise. :-) ~Ali

Oh my God, Ali...I cried the whole way through this. It started as just a few tears rolling down my face, but I am full-on bawling right now. This is HORRIBLE! Really, really horrible and not exactly what I was expecting. *sigh*

This is one of those things I've always said is a deal breaker. Their marriage in this story obviously didn't happen the usual way, so they never even discussed it, but honestly, this is really one of those things you need to agree on or it's not going to work. I don't think that Luke should have left, I agree with Reid. You don't cut and run when something like this happens. They should be working through this together and actually talking about it. I don't think that Reid has even had a chance to talk to Luke about why he feels this way, and that's not really fair.

I know you promise to make it better...I'm hoping you do that quickly because I cannot cry like this when I'm supposed to be working! Thank God I work from home!

I am so sorry. I was crying while I wrote this (and rarely do I cry). And, yes, I have to agree that it is not something you compromise on, either you have children or you do not. They need to figure this one out. Luke left because he feels he will have to give into Reid and not have children. I promise by the last chapter they will be beyond happy! Thank you for reading. ~Ali
