I had my cat Magik for 12 years and she died in my arms and I felt like I'd lost my baby. I've yet to get another one and it's been over 4 years since she died, so I know exactly what you mean. I love Inky too much to let him die.  As for Tobias, even big tough Marine sergeants go all mushy over a cat that saved their son and grandson's life.  Inky's a war hero, according to Tobias.  :)

Reg and Sirius fight like my siblings used to, and still do sometimes, and like Toby my dad can still put the fear of God into them, & they're adults with kids of their own, LOL!

The kids will eventually get over this, they're tough little scrappers and they've plenty of love and support from both Sev, Alaina, Tobias and their friends.

Yes, Christmas is coming and you'll soon find out what Sev is giving Alaina...it's rare and beautiful!   

That was great! It reminds me of my sisters, they're only a year apart, not me, I'm the baby by at least 12 years, 17 in the case of my oldest sister, so I never got to bicker with them.  But I have fun listening to them go at each other, it's pretty funny, they're not really serious about it any more. 

You'll get you wish, I have a wedding planned.  

And for the last chapter, Sev wasn't watching his back because he thought the others were covering it for him, since Dan had been knocked out by Tobias.  Plus, I wanted dan to hear how his daughter really felt about him before he bought it.  Hearing Lexy say she preferred Sev over her real father really hurt him in the worst way, the egotistical bastard.  He thought who the hell he was and she basically blew him off big time!  Go Lexy!  And it gave Inky a chance to get his moment in the spotlight too.
