Ahhhhhhhh! :DDDDDDDDD

I read that way too fast, though. I need to re-read it.

I love this chapter. I think the writing and dialogue is great, even if you did struggle with it a bit. I'm also glad that Gabe didn't freak out too much about the Willow thing, even if he still is in a little bit of shock. I still don't know if Wesley interrupting Gabe was a good thing or not. On one hand, Rowan seemed to be getting a little pissed off, but on the other, he still really needs to know about Sage. This may not be the best time, though. >_______>

And poor Cecelia. Though it's not really her fault, I can't even imagine how terrible she must feel. And Jasmine, too. ♥

Great chapter, as always! :D

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it... yeah it was a struggle but I got past it. I didn't want this chapter to hold the story up, lol.

Yeah Gabe is still in a bit of a shock, and I don't think he realizes exactly what being a witch is entirely but he does care about Willow. I don't think it would have kept him away. And whether or not Wesley interrupted him, he probably would have at least tried to hold his ground about not giving away Meadow's secret (though he does disagree with Meadow keeping it from Rowan). You're right, Rowan does need to know about Sage. I'm sure he will in time.

Oh, Gabe and Rowan! I know those two don't interact very often, but whenever they do, it is perfect. And I can't wait to see how that talk with Meadow goes ;)

My guess is that Wesley was not a moment too soon there. Good thing he managed to find them at all. Here's hoping Willow's going to be okay...

Great job with the transition piece! Those can be really tough, but you nailed this one :)

I'll admit, I love getting Gabriel and Rowan together. They really are fun and that scene was probably the easiest for me to get through. Everything else was pretty tricky, and having writer's block and being busy with work didn't help with the creative process. But I couldn't let this chapter hold up the story, lol. ;)

Wesley did luck out on finding Rowan.. but there'll be a bit about him in the next few chapters. Willow too, of course.

And thank you very much. I don't know what it is about transition pieces which makes it really hard to write. I think it's because I've planned all the plot points but haven't put a lot of thought on how everyone gets where they need to go. I can time warp all over the place, but it wouldn't be as fun. ;) I am really happy you liked it though. :)

Heh. Rowan's such a softie when it comes to being the protective older brother. XD Even if he doesn't care to admit it.

Yeah Rowan is and of course he'd never let it show. It's part of his charm. ;)

The scene between Rowan and Gabe was perfectly done!

When Wesley appeared I was like "How the hell did he get there?" but then I went back and saw him fly over. I am way too slow...

Thank you. I really enjoyed writing Gabe and Rowan together in this one.

And yeah Wesley can be pretty sneaky when he wants to be. ;)

This was perfect-- Gabriel and Rowan not only had a perfect conversation, but now they're both starting to realize the things that they need to know. Rowan is a pretty good soul when he's not being his usual self. I think when he finds out about Sage, that'll really bring a change in him.

Of course, all that's probably gonna happen after he finds Willow.

Transition chapters can always be a bit of challenge, but you nailed it. :)

Yep, Gabriel needs to know that Willow is a witch and Rowan does need to know that he's a father. As for the latter, he'll probably learn in time. Like I was telling Dinuriel, transition chapters are really tricky for me in particular. It wasn't infuriatingly hard, but I was sort of disappointed that it wasn't flowing the way I wanted to. I think I came to a good compromise by focusing on Gabriel and Rowan for this chapter. So I'm glad the interaction between Rowan and Gabe worked for you. Thank you. :)
