I love all the action in this chapter. You sure know how to write sexual tension. The Jade storyline is growing on me. It was so bizarre that Michael went all "Ridge" on his brother over Ade. I think he has plenty on his plate without worrying over his ex. Yes, they are close, but as soon as he knew Ade was on board he had no room to talk. I know Brooke's firm stance will straighten his ass out real quick. The whole family is wound so tight with the Bridget news and all the stress of a new baby and everything else. I was kind of surprised that Michael hit the bottle that hard after just getting it on with Brooke. I guess reality came crashing back in.
Had to smile at the story of Thorne running FC into bankruptcy with his ineptness. Your little dig at the character. Hee. We can kind of see where this is going - a history lesson ala the BeLieF formula. Eric wants to be reasonable and fair and Stephanie wants to play dirty and not give an inch. Eric was wise enough to learn from the first time and know they may end up with nothing. It really seems like Brooke is ready to let go of the company and probably would sell her shares if approached reasonably.
Bridget has really grown up fast! I'm glad her attitude turned around - her good outlook will really help all aspects of managing her condition. I guess once she had time to process her diagnosis, she really matured quickly.
Now I'm starting to wonder if one of Jason's biological parents is someone we already know...
Thank you for entertaining us.

Thanks. I like writing the sexual tension and the fun stuff that comes eventually too LOL! I'm glad you're getting inot JAde. They're fun to write and I think that they are well suited in many ways, though not in some others. Michael has a lot on his plate and he was handling it well, but then when everyone started coming over it just sunk in and he felt helpless and useless and he just suddenly couldn't deal with it. Brooke tried her best to be understanding and she did tell people to let him be. She did understand, but it got out of hand. Michael and Joey have always had a volitile relationship and Michael is still not trusting his brother. He was in protective mode with Bridget and it carried over to Ade big time. He overreacted but he sure did get called on it. And yes, I think Brooke is already straightening out his ass LOL!

| Yeah, it's really a lot like the Belief story with one learning a lesson and another not. I can't help but pick on Thorne a bit, I just don't see him as a savior and I wanted them to really need Brooke back or Eric back at least. It may backfire like you said because Brooke was really ready to leave and now I'm just not so sure she will be.

Bridget has been through so much and she is growing because of it. It helped when Michael treated her with so much respect and as an adult. The condition is enough to mature anyone.

Wow! What a great chapter! But I really hope you either have Brooke over-reacting about getting a divorce in order to get her point across, or Michael passed out and had a night-mare like that! I do not want one of my favorite Brooke-pairings to get a divorce on just one thing like that. It's not like they think that married life is easy, so let them both continue to fight for it!
That doesn't mean that I don't agree with Brooke about Michael having to see that he is married to only her, and that Ade and Joey can do whatever they want to. I just hope that once Michael sobers up, he'll realize how utterly insensitive and over the top he was. And that he'll apologize to all involved, including Bridget for fighting because he was too drunk at her welcome home party.
Ade and Joey are going to be SO HOT together. I bet you can't wait to write the next chapter... hint hint, nudge nudge LOL
I don't understand why Stephanie wanted to come to the party, only to show that she wouldn't let anyone exclude her? And really, Eric shouldn't have told her that she could come IMO.
Will your Ridge ever learn? He still thinks that he can just charm his way into Taylor's good graces, doesn't he? I'm glad she's standing up to him! There also is Michael's new colleague who seemed quite taken with her, so let her keep her options open.
I'm glad Bryan and Connor found someone that might help them understand a bit more who Jason is. And I feel quite sure that even if Pam is his real mother, she'll let the adoption go through. Storm and Colin could still have a chance to raise him.
And so, on to the most important thing in this chapter, Bridget letting Brooke know the reason why she ran away from home. I felt so sorry for both of them, and you really wrote this beautifully!!! I'm sure a mother would react the exact same way Brooke did, and I also understand Bridget, I would feel so bad if I had to tell my mom something was seriously wrong with me, even if I could still live a very long time. Thank you so much for including this in your story, it is something we almost forget about again, since HIV and AIDS isn't 'new' anymore. I am stunned about how some people think it just doesn't concern them at all. My heart really broke reading how Brooke felt knowing her little girl has HIV, and that she might actually pass before her. I think that must be the hardest thing for any parent! It's not meant to be so that children die before their parents, and I think that kind of sorrow will never leave anyone ever again.
I absolutely loved this chapter, Dot, thanks again for spending time making something about B&B worth waiting for!

It’s not a nightmare, I’ve used that a few times already so I won’t go back to that for a while. But Brooke IS over reacting. And perhaps she is giving Michael a lesson that he’ll never forget. Emotions are running rampant and no one is really thinking before acting. I think the morning will open some eyes. Marriage isn’t easy but their marriage is important to both of them and I feel that they’ll both fight hard for it.
You’re right to agree with Brooke, at least to a point. Michael knows about her history with Ridge and he should have realized that his actions were just like Ridge’s. But if you look back, the first punch was thrown by Joey and it was when Michael said that he’d be going after Brooke next. These brothers are not strangers to settling things with their fists. As for apologizing, I can see Michael apologizing to Brooke and to Bridget and to Eric and to his sister, but I don’t see him apologizing to Joey or Ade, he still thinks that they’re wrong.
Ade and Joey are hot and they both want to try this relationship, but I wonder if the fight will make Ade think twice about it.
Stephanie doesn’t ever like being told she can’t do something. She feels that she is the matriarch of the family and that she should be included in anything to do with any member of the family. Eric should have said no, but I think she would have just come on her own anyway. At least this way he had a little control.
Ridge never wanted to let Taylor go. He thought they were back and happy but things kept putting doubts in Taylor’s mind. She still does love him but she needs time to think about her choices and yes, there is Chris who might be a fun distraction for her!
Bryan and Connor are working hard to help settle things with Jason. Things are starting to open up and it could be good, or it could be bad. If Pam is or knows the real mother things can get complicated. Would she approve of two gay men raising Jason? Could she fight to regain custody? Would she help Brooke and Michael get him?
Bridget’s story was hard to write and I’m glad that people are enjoying it. You’re right, a parent should never have to see a child die but maybe Bridget will do well for a long time. I think that this has made Bridget grow a lot and it is making the family grow closer. Of course there are always secrets that could come out and ruin some of that too!
Thanks so much for your comments and I’m glad you enjoyed the chapter. I’m working on Paradise now!

Wow. Long time no read, I almost gave up on ever reading a new chapter. But it was worth the wait, the chapter was amazing, as usual :-)
I should be doing schoolwork now, but just want to comment on Brooke's reaction at the end, which was a bit over the top IMO. Sure she has a right to be angry at Mike, but the divorce-card was too much. Make him sleep in the doghouse and suffer, divorce is a bit extreme. But I know that her emotions are all over the place and it has been a bad day for her too. I know that you wrote it as a hothead reaction, and not in Bradley-style, where random comments soon become reality. I know Brooke and Mike will work this out, I have faith in you.
Keep up the good work, and please, a new chapter a bit sooner? please? LOL!

Don't worry. The Copelands are not going to get divorces, but Brooke sure did put a scare into Michael and I think he'll think twice before he acts that way again. Yes, she was mad and she overreacted, but I think she said it just to get to him in his drunken state. I promise you'll enjoy the next morning and oh yes, Dr. Copeland is going to be in the doghouse.

Hi Dot, thank you for another great chapter.
Poor Bridget, I feel so much for that girl! But I adore her strength and how she trusts Michael. She knows she can open up to him completely and he would do everything to help her. They have such a strong relationship, Bridget knows he loves her as much as he loves Bethany! Bridget's disease is hard to deal with for the whole family. I wonder how you'll go on with this part.
Like in the show Thorne has not really sense of business, has he? But what does this mean for Brooke? Will she go back to control Forrester again? And what will Michael think about it, now that he has partner? And what does Stephanie have in mind? We know she loves to play dirty - and I don't think that Eric, Ridge or Thorne can ever stop her! She and Ehlers are just... (where is the puke icon?)
Ade and Joey - they sure have lots of chemistry! I just love them together, but it seems Michael has a big problem with them as a couple. I wonder why?! Joey just proves himself to be worthy of the family's trust, he'd do anything for Michael. Ade was such a good friend and help to Brooke when the times were rough. He should think about his attitude FAST! I hope he's only concerned for Ade and not jealous! And I do hope Brooke is not serious about a divorce - please don't tell me she is! I mean, I understand that she won't have another threesome marriage but they were always able to talk about their problems.
I wonder where Ridge and Taylor will stand in your next chapter. Closer or a little more apart? I thought she and Chris might have a good start, but I also think back to what she and Jackson shared. He loved her so much. Is it really over for them and will she ever be ready to move on without Ridge?
I like the Jason part of your story! It's getting very exciting - did they find his parents? And who are they??? I can hardly wait for your next chapter!
Hugs, Alex

WOW dot WOW!!
I feel like a real fool that I didn't check out this board before. 
I really like this story, all the elements are there for great drama, and I love how you have incorporated new and old characters into it. The story also flows very nicely.
I love Brooke with Mike, and I am sooo happy that she seems to have Ridge out of her system. I also love how Taylor finally took the blinders off and is seeing her beloved hubsand for what he is. Most of your story is fresh in my mind, I just finished reading to ch.131.
Here are my thoughts on the last chapter:
I think Mike and Brooke will work things out. He is at his wits end, and he did have to much to drink. Brooke was right to call him out on it. However my impression of his fight with Joey, was not necessarily "his inner Ridge" showing but more he is still not sure of his brother's true intentions. I really think he doesn't want Ade to get hurt. Up till this point, Mike hasn't appeared to be to concerned with who Ade was involved with. I can certainly understand Brooke's position though, and he was an ass to let things get out of control like that, but he is afterall just a man.
Poor Budge, but like many she has to live with the repurcussions of her actions. I feel sorry for her, and she was young and foolish, it seems almost unfair for her to have to deal with this so young, but the tragic thing is that people do have to deal with this type of situation. Overall I think it was a good move on your part, it allows for many heartwrenching sls for her in the future.
Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie.... She just can't seem to let it go can she. Tsk Tsk Tsk.....I know she will continue to cause trouble for Storm and Colin, as well as Brooke and Mike,and I think I see a major, and I MEAN MAJOR custody battle coming up. I may be wrong, but poor Jason will be caught in the middle, and I think his bio parent and grandparents will be found. I also beleive that Mike at some point will have to once again defend himself from Keith Ehlers and that hag he's sleeping with. They do make a formidable team, but frankly so does Brooke and Mike, and I think it will be great drama when it happens.
FC.....I really had to laugh at the typical Ridge reaction to putting Thorne in charge of the business end of the company. I almost wonder if those papers Eric showed Brooke weren't doctored to make things seem worse than they are. While I think Thorne maybe a little out of his league, he certainly doesn't have the support and encouragement of his loving family. If they spent a fraction of the time helping him, that they spend bad mouthing him I have to wonder if the company wouldn't be "in trouble".
Ridge definately needs to have his ego checked. It is always about everyone else, and never himself. I still haven't seen him do some honest to goodness soul searching and examining his feelings. He is the poster child for pointing the finger instead pointing the thumb.
Lovely writing dotd, and I'm working my way thru the other fan fics, I just have so much to read because you guys have a lengthy headstart.
My only complaint....LOL is that I wish that these stories were published as books. I would love just to curl up in my favorite reading nook and lose myself, instead of having to sit at the computer to read.

This is by far the best story i've read! I've read all the others, but this one just held on to me and wouldnt let me go!!!! But now, can you imagine to my horror, that the story isnt even done? I feel cheated and its been over a year since the last post, so i'm figuring there'll be no more. Girl, I would never have started reading this masterpiece had I known it had no ending. I'm suffering!!!!This is so distressing to me. I wish you'd finish this story. I just know it would've had a fantastic ending!!!! MAN OH MAN!!!

Thanks guys. I've been so disheartened with the show that I put my story away. But it's still here and I'm dusted it off and I'm thinking about where I can go from here. I still have my notes and I still remember where I was heading so if anyone is still interested please let me know if I should continue.

I do, I do. Dot, I love this fan fiction! (This is Kay by the way. Dogbreath is my testing name when I am making changes to the board and I want to see it as other registered people do, LOL.)
Anyhoo, I would love it if you came back and started writing this story again. This is the one that started it all for me and I want to see it to the very end.

Dot - please do continue all your stories - don't let the show take it away from you. I have been so looking forward to reading more of your stories. I love reading all of the stories here - at least we can enjoy our Brooke as she really is & not the Brooke that BB writes.

Hi sweetie, I just re-read your story - it took me quite a while but it was more than worth it. I even went to see what's going on at B & B and let me tell ya: I'm still glad I turned off. Alwayws the same old battles, no new ideas - well they could learn from you, my dear! Please continue this story, it's so much joy to read - just like all your others. Any chance to see something new? Big hugs!!!
