Click hereWhy she had arrived into our lives only two years after we'd had our first serious chat about the possibility of having a child...
Well I'm not sure if I'm ready to talk about it. I might need to let Rob tell that story.
It had been the worst three weeks of my life, and I knew for certain, the worst three weeks of Rob's life as well. But now, I was okay; I had fully recovered and I was almost thankful for what had happened to me because it had brought Rob and I the best gift life can give - our child.
We had a new album out but we didn't tour it, we did very little promotion and only played a few small gigs in Europe. First because we didn't feel ready or ratherthe need, to go back on tour and second because it wasn't an album meant to be toured. We had released it only because we wanted people to hear these songs and because we needed to let them go, as some sort of therapy.
Since the tour when we'd spent the biggest part of two years away from home, all our lives had changed dramatically, hell, three of us had married on that tour, one of us had found 'the one' and Rachel had become pregnant with Callum and the songs on our latest album - our first double - reflected that.
They were probably amongst the most soul-searching since the days when Rob and I were primarily writing about each other, before even our friends knew we'd become a couple, in reality before wehad become a couple, only now our emotional horizons had expanded with what had happened to me and with the arrival of our daughter.
Besides which, with us all having young children none of us wanted to disrupt their lives by hauling them around the world for months on, and in truth, none of us could face leaving them at home. Of course, we did intend to tour again, but we needed to make sure it would be a tour that'd work for all of us, including our children.
I, above all the others, valued the stable home-life Rob and I had built and I was determined that our daughter wouldalways have that - just like Rob had said during our first serious talk about having a child, that he wanted us to have the sort of family life he'd had when he'd been growing up, when all the time, he'd really meantme.

uniliveabout 2 months agoAuthorI don't mind long posts😆 actually I love them so feel free to comment other chapters if you want to! I won't answer your questions on here again, but thank you for taking the time to comment and I'm glad you loved the story so much, it's very rewarding!
AnotherSelf7 months agoLong Post alert –
I am so late to the party but I’m glad I arrived! I didn’t want to comment until I read the entire story. All I can say is WOW. Very rare is there a story that can make you feel a myriad of emotions at once and feel that you intimately know the characters and are a part of their story. I feel like I truly know Mark and Rob and I easily identified with both of them depending on the situation. I am so honestly sad to see this story ‘end’. As I read the comments after the chapters, it always amazed me to see you thought people didn’t want more or had gotten tired of the story.
I’m one of the weirdos who gets a hold of a story and NEVER wants it to end. There are so, so many stories left to tell. ….the gap between the confrontation and all of the babies….Mark’s issue…the continuation of music but no touring. Does Mark’s mom EVER decide she’s chosen so poorly in the past, seeing her misery in her son’s, she takes the big step and reaches out to Mark ….to leave? I did not care for her but when you think about it, what did she have to put up with just to give birth to Mark? What was her trade-off? Did her lack of ‘love’ for Mark allow them both to at least live?
I went through so, so many emotions reading this story, literally. The joy, anger, hope, fear, despair, hurt, love, etc. I felt it all. I truly appreciate that above all, this is a love story with twists and turns but at its core, a genuine, true love story. I have read a lot of stories, digitally and in print and I must say, this is now my all time favorite. There aren’t too many stories that I’m aware of anyway that shows the progress of love in the stages that this one does with two people who have grown up together. To be able to ‘watch’ them go through it and not read them reminisce about it is a true joy. I think everyone deserves someone to love and who loves them the way these two do. Simply the best!
In case you are wondering, I LOVED THIS STORY!!
Serious question as I wait for you to bring these guys back 😊… are you on other sites, have a fan page, etc? I’ve looked for additional work from you but haven’t found anything but I’m sure there is. I see there have been no comments/updates for a couple of years so I’m sure I won’t get a response, but I had to get my thoughts out so that I could go through the process of letting the story go.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story!!!!!!!
Bluepoohstar08over 2 years agoYou're an excellent writer. I loved your story. Can't wait to read more
Anonymousalmost 3 years agoAn absolutely brilliant and well written story. Fantastic in every sense of the word. You have a gift and you should cherish it. I have ready many stories here on Literotica but this is one of the tops! I especially loved how Mark finally had it out with the garbage that was his (shudder!) step-father. You should write as you feel the sprit moves you but don't change your style as it is classic and well done. Thank you.
S_Isemenalmost 3 years agoDamn!! I really, REALLY, wish there was a 'fanfiction' page on here, where authors could post their homage to a story on Literotica!!!
unilive - we know what happened in those three weeks . . . . but I'm not telling if you aren't. He-he
