Homecoming #41: Packing and Preparations

[wren_kt7oz]

At last - the next Homecoming chapter. Sorry it's been so long. It's been through a couple of redrafts and taken much longer than I'd expected.

Anyway, here it is.

As always, it's for Adults Only and by clicking any of the links you are stating that you fall into that category.

"You can't nourish others, if you don't nourish yourself." -- Justin Taylor would totally have been raised to take care of himself first so that he'd be able to take care of others, like a good little middle class WASP. This is the perfect sentence for Jennifer Taylor, the woman who is going out for a jog while her husband is in the garage contemplating the car he had run into Brian's jeep the night before.
"I wouldn't trust her to pack a lunch, let alone my Armani" -- love this line
"a milk splash on my favorite Prada boots" -- sound the alarms!
Great chapter.

Thanks, Kim. Yes, I think Jenn would know a thing or two about keeping balance in your life. I suspect that, if nothing else, she would have watched Craig not doing it and learned from that.

Glad you got a laugh from the 'packing' line. That came out of the last re-write yesterday, so I guess maybe it was worth waiting for.

I think the fact that Brian's not doing a total queen out over the milk splash speaks volumes for how his priorities might have shifted a little. *g*

The excitement is building and I am really looking forward to the move. I'm curious to see what Lindz is up to and I hope that she is controlled. It was great seeing this up today.

Thanks. One of the problems that I had was that I really just wanted to move them in, and that wasn't working. So hopefully that will be in the next chapter.

As for Linds, I have plans for Linds *g*

Lol in some parts of this chapter as Brian thinks he has everything planned and Justin thinks he is doing all the caring and planning. The boys do not realise how they work together for each other even though it looks like they are doing it all by themselves. Loved the line;
I wouldn't trust her to pack a lunch, let alone my Armani, brilliant line and then you say this; I'm just dealing with what looks like a milk splash on my favorite Prada boots. I hope it is Jennifer and not some more drama.

*g* Yes, in a way they're both going about things totally independently, but you're right, they really are working together. I think that's how things will always be with these two. I can't imagine them stopping to check every little idea they have with each other. It would drive them both nuts - Justin as much as Brian.

Of course, sometimes they will be out of synch, and things won't work out so well, but at the moment they're totally on the same page, so hopefully it will all go smoothly.

Glad you like the 'packing' line. It came to me yesterday when I was doing the final re-write and worked for me much better than what I'd had there before; so it's good to know that it worked for others as well. I really can not imagine Brian allowing Daphne anywhere near his clothes, I suspect he'd even think twice about allowing her to pack Justin's. *g*

Thanks, Kathleen. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm glad Justin let the lawyer know what Lindsay is up to, she really is behaving eratically right now!.

Daphne is a great friend and I'm happy she is going to help them move, they need more friends like that in their lives.

Jennifer is the perfect grandmother, helping where needed, and otherwise butting out, I love her in this story :)

Next, Babylon and some hot sex, yes? Yes!

[wren_kt7oz]

ITA about Daphne. I'm very fond of Daph. It annoyed me that we didn't get to see more of her in the last couple of seasons.

And yes, next Babylon. *g*
