I have probably one part left to go on this chapter, but I thought I'd post a sneak peek as a late Christmas present and also because I'd love to hear some reactions before I finish it up. So... here it is if you're interested in reading! ;D www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/bms164sp.htmlI'm going to bed in a bit, and tomorrow I'm going to be out making returns and stuff, so I probably won't be around to see many comments until tomorrow afternoon/evening, but I would definitely appreciate some from anyone who reads!! Thanks!!

Ok this is a spoiler so i don't want anyone who haven't read chap 164 to read it -in case they don't want to spoil the taste of reading every line of Julie's amazing talent! All i can say is: Yaaayyy! I fought hard with the urge to stand up and dance on the chair because Jamie went back to Des Moines! Hehe, i was waiting for Nick to pop up a champagne but i think he's saving it for the divorce LOL. I would LOVE to see Jamie's face when he heard about the condo. He will definitely think that it's a complo theory of Nick's. It was so obvious that Nick just wouldn't let Claire get away with staying in a hotel. I don't know why but I sense that Claire's parents are more on Nick's side, though they are totally oblivious to the problems Jamie and Claire have. And Nick's shit-eating grin face, aah i can picture him in that den! I started reacting to them like real people, Julie! But girl, I love your writing! You are a pro at shaping up characters and giving the exact atmosphere. It feels so real in my head, sometimes i feel like i'm watching a movie instead of reading. Seriously. I can't wait to read the rest of the chapter! *Done with the spoiler* ;D

It's the way it's written. I'm always forgetting Nick really dosen't have a titanium leg. lol. As soon as her mom didn't go to the hotel I knew Nick was up to something. I bet Jamie is just going to looooooove that. I can't wait to read his reation. And yes, it seems her parents are on Nick's side. Everyone can see what an ass Jamie is and I'm sure her parents have seen that too. (see there I go, talkin like they're real, lmfao). I also let out a little "WHOOOP" when Jamie had to go back and Claire has to basically stay in Tampa till the babies are born. It's where she wants to be anyway. This story is going to kill me if it dosen't end soon, I swear.

I love it, as always. I love how Jamie had to go back, take that for being an asshole and taking that job in the first place! And I love Claire's parents for 'siding' with Nick, because he and Claire are meant to be. Most of all, I love Nick, because he is so sweet and nice and lovable and thoughtful and sexy and...(now my thoughts turn X-rated).

Aww, YAY, I'm glad you guys like it!!! Thank you so much for the comments!! LOL and I have to say, it's incredibly flattering that it seems so real to you! I guess that's what I've set out to do, although we should all be glad it's NOT real life, cause except for getting some good girlfriends, Nick hasn't had such a great time in this series LOL.
Anyway, I just finished the chapter and updated the sneak peek to be the full chapter now, so check it out! I'll post it officially on my site tomorrow/later today, but follow the link I posted if you want to see it ahead of time.

Oh yeah, and the whole thing with Claire going into preterm labor was JUST to get her stuck in Tampa and make Jamie have to go back without her... so aren't you proud of me? ;D

YESS!! Jamie is back in Des Moines and Claire is stuck in Tampa, how freakin' awesome is that. I can't believe that Nick brought her a condo and I sooo can't wait to see how Jamie is gonna react to this, this is gonna seal the deal that Jamie is gonna HATE Nick for life when he finds out that Nick did this. I loved it Julie and I can't wait for more!

It just took me so much time to get used to the situation of Nick having cancer and amputating his leg. There were times i felt really depressed because the story was just so real and made my heart ache. Which is just one of the signs that you are such a talented writer Julie. After reading Broken and By My Side up until now, everytime i look at Nick's videos or pictures, I'm looking for a trace in his face, a sorrow that's coming with Claire's love and my eyes always travel to his left leg, leaving me with the question "what if?"

YAY, Nick is buying everyone's love, and hate in Jamie's case with money! Finally, he's starting to think.
