Excellent chapter,

I'm so glad Bridget got to see another side of Ian like Deacon did of Brooke. I hope both relationships can begin to grow because of this time together.

Poor Bridget with her photo album of what use to be. I hope she and Deacon are able to stay together so she can have the family she always dreamed of.

Very good Missy!
This shows suck BIG time and it's nice to read a story that actually MAKES SENSE and is INTERESTING.
I'm glad you wrote the part about Deacon wanting to open a club because it's very true. It exactly what he WOULD want to do.
I'm glad Ian and Bridget seemed to be getting along better.
I think they just needed time.
I know you'll make sure that my Beacon stays happy cause if you don't I WILL come after you! LOL!!!

Hi Missy,
no it wasn't too short, I got about 1/2 way through during a lull at work this evening, finished the rest at home.
It was a good chapter, Brooke wanted Bridget and Ian to 'bond', seems like she and Deacon have probably had more 'talk' time though.
Why doesn't she invest in Deacon's club?

Those college guys didn't know who they were messing with. (typical)

If I was lost in the snow I'd want Ian looking for me!

You have me intrigued about the next chapter. (Ridge is baaaaad in this one, right??)
Thanks
Barbara

Missy I really loved this chapter. I liked seeing how Bridget was maturing and starting to see that the world didn’t revolve around her. She learned respect and in turn she earned Ian’s respect too. They worked well together and I think that now she may become more supportive, though I’m sure a part of her will still want her mother in the role she sees her in.
But my favorite part was Brooke and Deacon. I know now that Deacon really does love Bridget, but my goodness do he and Brooke share an awesome chemistry. Even on paper I can see it shining through. I love Deacon and love seeing him cut through the bullshit and tell Brooke how it is. Brooke has learned to respect him too and I think she is really starting to like him too. I’m glad he admitted that he had been attracted to her but that he loves Bridget now and doesn’t see her that way. While he may see her as a mother in law, I think that maybe he will see her more as a friend. He certainly sees the Forresters for what they are and he sees Ian for who he is too. He cracks me up when he talks about Stephanie, Ridge and Taylor and he is also right. Brooke needs to see that they are trying to turn Bridget away from her. Deacon is crude in ways, but he lives up to his last name, the man is sharp. And he really is supportive of Brooke as a mother too. It was sweet of him to tell her about those photos. I know it touched her.
I loved seeing Brooke feeling comfortable in her own skin, talking, eating, skiing, playing pool and cards. She’s a fun person, not a stuffy stuck up snob. I just love seeing her this way. I know that the stress will return when she goes home but hopefully now she will have Deacon and Bridget on her side as well as Ian.
So now I am worried about this search. I know that there is more to it than just the guys saving a kid. Either more is involved or something bad will happen. Just make sure that eventually Ian and Brooke are back together in each other’s arms!
I really enjoyed this chapter and while it was short, it was sweet and I know it is leading up to some really great stuff!
Thanks Missy!

Thanks for this beautiful chapter, Missy! I loved the way Bridget and Ian were finally interacting with each other, and seeing that they might have been wrong about how they felt about each other! It's good that Bridget felt secure enough to follow him, and to also show that she could help him, while letting him take the lead as well.

And Deacon and Brooke were a real hoot! That's how B&B used to be for real! I can't understand what happened to my favorite show! I'm so happy you're continuing this story as well, Missy, I really like Ian, and I like to think of Brooke far away from ALL the Forresters! (well, apart from her kids).

And Deacon always had those Forrester's play to a T. He's funny, and I'm glad he dared to show Brooke who he really is. That can't have been all easy.

Thanks again, Missy, and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Yash, thanks so much for the comments. Both Ian and Bridget have something in common other than loving Brooke, they both like to help people in need. It's their nature. So, when they had to help Colin, they forgot about their "dislike" of each other. They both needed each other. Though Ian may have been able to take care of the situation alone, having Bridge's medical eyes and suggestions made things easier on him. Ian got to see the other side of Bridget. His strength and wisdom coupled with her intellegence, they made one heck of a team.

Ian and Bridget weren't the only ones bonding. Deacon and Brooke did as well. Brooke got to see another side to her crasy son-in-law. She also got an outsider's insight to her family. Deacon's changing, Bridget doing that with her love. So, does it means that Brooke is now jumping for joy that he is her SIL, probrobably not but she doesn't hate Deacon. She may, in fact start to like him a little bit.

Bridget's photo album tells a story of alittle girl who did lose her family. She had happy times when she had her mother and Ridge. Just maybe she wants those times back. Maybe Deacon can give her the family that she always wanted.

Logan I can't agree with you more about the show...it does SUCK with it's unrecongnizable characters betraying people they claim to love. So...I'm focusing on my writing and not Bell's SHIT! LOL

Deacon is still Deacon however he is trying hard to be a better person. He has dreams and goals. He wants to run this club more than anything.

Bridget and Ian have made a tenative truce in order to help Colin. It was easy. They also both realized that the other capable, hopefully the ice will start the met both literally and figurativly and they will get to see good in each other.

Logan I will try to keep Beacon happy(Bridget and Deacon) so YOU won't have to come after me. LOL

Glad that you didn't think it two short. LOL

Brooke did get her wish it seems that Ian and Bridget are indeed bonding but not how she hoped. She didn't want them in danger in order to do it. LOL Brooke also did a little bonding herself with Deacon. She got to see another side to him and really learn some things about Deacon.

Good eye and seeing a possible development. I will tell you this, Brooke will invest in Deacon's idea down the road.

If I were lost in a snow storm I'd want Ian out there looking for him. Good looking, great guy and capable. He's really in his element. Yes----LOL Ridge is the bad one in this story.

Hey Quennie! Glad so much that you had time to read Dot. Lately I've been down about the show ( you can figure out why though I know that you are happy) so instead about getting bent out of shape, I've done what I've done in the past. Let the show go...though this time I'm not sure I'll ever come back because I just can't see Brooke the same way again. Anyway....I can focus a little attention to my Brooke. So..you've got some Love Story though a short chapter.

Bridget is starting to mature just a little. Sometimes it takes focusing on someone else to stop making up act like jersks sometimes and that is what has happened. Bridget's concern was for Colin and in that she began to see a different side to Ian. Ian was in his element, assessing the situation and being in total control. There is nothing like a man in action, is there?As for Ian, in his eyes Bridget earned his respect. She stayed calm, listened and was helpful. So, it's a good start for them.

It was also a very good start for Brooke and Deacon to get to know each other as son-in-law and MIL though finding out that Deacon thought that she was "hot" for kinda a hoot. Yes Brooke and Deacon seem to have a chemistry but NOT that kind of chemistry. LOL I'm keeping it clean. But what I will tell you is that Deacon will become a strong supporter of Brooke's and a strange kind of frienship will develop between them.

Deacon is going to cut through the bullshit. He's going to tell it like it is and in a sense Brooke is going to need that kind of honesty back in L.A where people seem to lie so easily. As far as Brooke is concerned, yes she has begun to respect him a little, he's half way there, and I have a feeling that she'll respect him more. Deacon's different. He's got an edge and yes you are right he is SHARP...Brooke might need someone like that on her side.

Brooke is confortable. She's letting her hair down doing the everyday things that she's hadn't had the time to do. Eating, skiing, and playing pool. This is a different Brooke. A more relaxed and confident one. When she gets back home there will be plenty of stress with Stephanie, Taylor and Ridge trying to steal her company. Hopefully she'll be rested and have her family (Rick, Bridget and Deacon on her side). Most of all, hopefully she'll have Ian.

Thanks so much for the quick comments Dot, I know that this story is your favorite. ;D

Thanks so much Lexxie...I knew that you needed someting good to read after the last week or so. LOL. So I hope that you've enjoyed the chapter though it was a little short. (Sorry

Bridget and Ian are opening their eyes up about each other seeing that they both have something positive to give. Bridget was very impressed with how Ian handled the situation. He acted quickly and probably saved Colin's life. Now he is out there looking for Kendall, how can you hate a man like that?

As for Bridget, Ian saw a different side to her a well. Not a spoiled brat but a woman who listened, took orders and gave sound advice. Her feelings and fears wnet out of the window when it came to someone else. He respected that. So...I think that we will see a truce between Ian and Bridget.

Brooke and Deacon were a hoot! While Bridget and Ian were saving someone's life, they were playing pool, drinking beer and playing cards. Doesn't quite seem like Brooke does it? But it was perfect for her to get to know Deacon. Their conversation will telling in so many ways as Deacon finally got how he felt off his chest. It also allowed Brooke to see past who Deacon used to be and who he is now. Brooke wasn't the only one to grow up the last couple of months, Deacon did as well. At the same time he hasn't lost any of his witty,streetwise charm has he? Deacon is still Deacon but I really like this one. I have a feeling that Brooke's starting to like him as well.

Lexxie...thanks so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule. I always love to hear what you think. Thanks : )

[mysticbridge]

All I can say is ;D. I mean I'm a huge BRidge fan and rarely find Brooke and anyone else (except Deacon) sexy but Ian is wow. I love how easy they are together. she's like his perfect foil. I especially love the interaction between Deacon and Brooke in this last chapter. You've painted her the way I expect she would be if she ever let her hair and her guard down (or gets away from the Forresters).
Do you have the rest of the story posted anywhere else? Are you gonna continue with the story.

Mysticbridge...I'm thrilled that you are enjoying Love Story. Ian is so sexy, isn't he? Even as a Bridge fan I wish someone like Ian would be on the show. He and Brooke share so much fire. She's not afraid to stand up to him while at the same time he makes her burn.

Deacon respects his mother in law and enough though she wasn't orginally fond of him, she is seeing him in a different light because he makes her daughter happy. Brooke sees that there is much more to Deacon.

Brooke has let her hair and other things down LOL...Ian brings out the best in her.

As for LS....great news. I'm working on a chapter and hope to have it up by the end of the week. Thanks so much!
