Ouch.  They both love each other so much and yet they're afraid to hear it or to say it.  Love can be terrifying sometimes.

I'm with Jen. Aside from magazines like "Film Fantasy" or "Entertainment Weekly," when they come out with news about the movies,  I don't feed the media monster by buying gossip magazines.  I want to starve it to death.   

I love that Jen is rescuing him and theirs is growing into a relationship of equals.  They're saving each other.  Nice.  

Author's Response:

Thanks so much hun! 

So glad you are enjoying  the story. This chapter is really what made me start writing this story. Teh discussion about "why me?" came from a dream I had, where Rob just needed some time to get away. And needed someone to understand that and respect it. 

The magazines and internet do nothing but provide a host of rumors and speculation (eerie to say that in regards to this chapter written 3 years ago and it is so very evident today). I don't buy into anything they say. If I don't hear it from the horses mouth, then I take it with a grain of salt. 

This is the predominant theme here-  a picture is not worth a thousand words and you do not know someone based on magazines or interviews. 

They are definitely saving one another. sigh

 

Thanks so much my dear! 

MWAH!

So happy to see a new chapter!  Liked how you handled the jump in time.  

Sounds like a baby is on the way... YEAH.  Is one of the sisters the surrogate?  Can't wait to see what they have... maybe twins (we could have one of each).  

It's been fun reading your take on Rob's life & it's good to see a happy take on his life. Hopefully the circumstances in his real life will get better.  Feel bad for him.

Steph - As usual an awesome chapter in Jenn and Rob's life.  I really enjoy your style of writing and loved the nod to your other story about the boy's US road trip.

I wish things in Rob's life now were as calm and settled as in your stories.  He deserves a moment to think and reflect but no one is giving it to him.  

Thanks for another wonderful story (I know there is another chapter coming) but I wanted to let you know that your stories I have re-read from the beginning (NTE, OTT, and In My World) because I've been in the hospital for the last 8 weeks because my kidney transplant has failed.  Your stories have provided me an outlet to live somewhere else for a short period of time before reality comes crashing back in.

Thank you for your gifts of fiction.  They do make a difference in people's lives.

This is the best place to end this, Steph. I can't believe it.  Rob and Jen are finally living their lives.  Thank you for sharing the beginning of it with us.

I love that you and I have managed to forge a friendship.  Thank you for that.  Love you!

Yay! An update!  And the update of all updates, too!  So glad they're finally all out.  Baby on the way, secure housing, and all.... Sounds like Jen needs an in-home gymn... come on, Rob, get right on that! Can't wait for Baby Patz... soon, por favor!

I'm sure gonna miss these two. It has been a delightful journey with them.

Can't wait to see it from Rob's view.

Thanks so much Steph, for sharing them with us.

Well i have not been reading for all three yeats, but i soooo love rob and jen...thanks for not giving up and completing their story...im so excited, but i did want jen to finish w brit dr and carry her own baby, so who is it vics or liz or both?

The journey they have been on has been amazing so far.  I wonder are some of the hints actually red herrings?  Looking forward to more but I will be sad to see this great story end.

 

You are an evil little minx, Steph. ;)

So I have two theories. One is that they used IVF and Jen is pregnant. However, that's not really my first thought because her carrying a baby to term is somewhat unlikely and extremely risky.

My strongest theory is that they are using a surrogate, but Jen is conveniently wearing bigger clothes and allowing herself to gain weight so that when they announce the birth of their baby, they will believe that Jen was actually carrying it the whole time. That the pregnancy was a well hidden secret. Which it will be (I think), it just won't be Jen that is pregnant with their baby.

And the thought of Kellan and Leah? Awesome! I really do like him and kind of think of him as very Emmett-like.

I'm sad that this story is coming to an end, but it's not like you haven't put enought time into it. LOL

I'm looking forward to more of OOT and of course, the last chapter of NTE.

P.S. If you want to tell me privately whether or not I'm right, I'm totally open to that. However, if you want me to find out when you post the last chapter, I'm cool with that too.  Honestly, I'm not sure which I'd prefer. (Not that I'm indecisive or anything.) ::eye roll::

Love the time jump! I'm really really hoping, praying and begging on hands and knees that we eventually get to see Rob's POV in the doctor's office *snorts*

Best Rob fic I've read!  I suspected a time jump...  I guess it was inevitable. :( I know there are still a few chapters left but I just hate to see it end.  Jen will just have to update me on FB from now on!  

(((tapping my foot impatiently)))... And just wondering when your next fic will be posting!  LOVE your work Steph!!!

 

Jane;)

Hints, hints.  Oh I loved those hints and I'm so excited for the next chapter even though I'm sad that this part of the story is ending, as you said we still have the rest of Rob's journey to come but still my heart will break a little at the end of the next chapter.

Time jumping is a little weird but it worked so well and it felt so right.  I loved the reaction of the girl at customs when Jen was coming through the airport, she was so sweet and Jen was a gracious as ever.

As sad as I am that NTE is coming to an end I really enjoyed this chapter, despite what happened it's so full of happiness and hope and excitement for their future, brilliant.
