Anonymous – I’m flattered you confused me with Viola. There is a fine line between me and her. I think there have been times Nick has been like that in real life. It wouldn’t surprise me. There’s lot of rumors flying around about him acting like that. It does make him an interesting character though. Viola isn’t having the babies yet. I’m going to build up to that point.
Anonymous – Eek, I don’t want the anxiety to kill you! Fruitcake is nice guy. Nick has his moments of being mean but he can be nice when he wants to. Unfortunately his emotions get the best of him sometimes.
Paty – It is unfortunate it took something so drastic for Nick to be shaken. He’s going to have to do a lot of sucking up to Viola. I think he loves Viola so much he doesn’t know what to do with himself sometimes.
Betty – Viola and Nick’s relationship is just beginning in a lot of ways. Sure they’ve known each other for a while now but they are still getting used to their individual moods. She has let him walk over him too many times and I’m glad she got a chance to spite him by not letting him in the ambulance.
LaShonda – One of the toughest parts of being a writer is making sure everything makes sense to readers. I am so flattered that my story can evoke emotion in you, that it is refreshing for you, and that you can imagine the scene in your head. I pour a lot of thought, time, and feelings into Fantasy/Reality. Thank you for being addicted to my story and I hope you continue to be addicted!
Brittany – They do fight a lot but I think its cause their relationship is still starting. They’re not used to being calm around each other. For Viola, this is the first time she’s actually had a boyfriend and for Nick, this is the first time he’s smitten with someone who doesn’t want anything material or shallow from him.
Nikki – Yeah! The saga does continue. I support Viola’s decision in not letting him ride in the ambulance with her. He has some serious Fruitcake issues and I hope this will teach him not to be such a jealous asshole.
Danielle – I was actually getting worried about not showing much of Viola’s fantasies lately but I’m glad you prefer to see Nick’s side. I’m with you, I can’t wait to know what happens with Viola and Nick. This story writes itself most of the time and there are times I surprise myself with what I come up with.

Betty – Like Viola said, actions speak louder than words so Nick’s going to have to show he’s capable of stepping up to the situation. Hopefully he’ll simmer down on the stress and freakouts.
Paty- Hopefully this will be the last straw for him. He does have too many mood swings and his pride is high. I think it’s not that Viola doesn’t care about her pregnancy. She does care but I think she’s not sure what to do. It is her first time being pregnant and with two babies at the same time. Like Nick, sometimes Viola’s pride is high and she does want his help but she also doesn’t want to seem like she’s mooching off his wealth.
Anonymous – I do worry about the pace of the story. I don’t want to go too fast nor too slow. When I finish each individual part, I’m not sure what will happen next. I may have an idea of where to go but sometimes what I know and what I see in my mind are two different things. I never planned on this story to be as long as it is. It was supposed to be a one part short story and we’d never ever from Viola and Nick again. Then the whole Aaron thing was conceived and I couldn’t stop from there. I originally wanted the story to end when Nick got his memory back from the amnesia but I was so attached to Viola so I continued writing. As for Nick and Viola being immature, they do have their moments at that but I think it’s because they’re still new at this whole parenting thing. I don’t expect that overnight they will magically turn into mature parents. They didn’t even hook up in conventional way. From the start, Nick used Viola as a fuck buddy. As for their plans, they have so much planning to do that I don’t think I can explore all that in one chapter. I think over the course of time they will build up to that. As of right now, the media doesn’t know the whole story between Nick and Viola. To me, Nick’s love life isn’t front page tabloid news. There’s definitely speculation and there’s a few pictures out there. The fans don’t know officially that Nick is a father yet.
And since in the 7th comment you said you were the one who wrote the 3rd comment I’ll reply to your comment along with the 3rd comment. I hope that makes sense.
I was hoping I wasn’t so transparent. Do you have a camera inside my brain? I confess I have had my moments where I’ve lost interest in Viola. Not really Nick but Viola is the spine of this story. Without her, there’s no Fantasy/Reality. I really connected with her in the beginning because it was so easy to join her in her fantasy world. Now she’s dealing with a lot of reality and I don’t know if it’s possible for her to revert back to her fantasies when she has so many things to think about like her pregnancy and relationship with Nick.
Viola and Nick are currently in a bubble, just the two of them. I think they need to strengthen their relationship before they take the leap and tell the media about their situation. I think if they rush they’ll just end up falling apart. Since the start of the story, their family, friends, media, and fans haven’t really been featured that much so I don’t want to all of a sudden bring them all in. Don’t be afraid to criticize. I’ll take constructive criticism as long as it’s justified which yours is. You say “this was one of my favorite stories.” I hope I can change your “was” to “is” :-)
Brittany – I know part 47 appears totally repetitive and that the story isn’t progressing but I thought long and hard about this and decided this was the direction I wanted to go in. Viola has so many issues with Nick and she is still struggling with them. She’s not the kind of person to suddenly change. From what she’s experienced with him, she’s extremely cautious about anything and everything and I think because of that she comes off as stubborn. There’s a part of her that’s still used to dealing with the asshole version of Nick. On top of that, she really doesn’t know what she’s doing. She’s a first time mother so she’s bound to make mistakes and not be as knowledgeable in pregnancy/mothering skills. I’ll be honest, there are times I’m out of ideas for this story and that I don’t know what to do with this crazy couple but I do know I want to continue writing it. This story has become something I never thought it would be. I never thought people would care so much about it and I never thought it would have such a following. I only wrote it to get it out of my head and it turned into something more. I did get a little too carried away with the jealous Nick but a lot of that jealously brought us to where we are in the story now. If he wasn’t so jealous over seeing Aaron and Viola together a few months back he wouldn’t have had that accident. His jealous has sparked a series of events for them and hopefully he’ll reach a point where he’s comfortable in his relationship with her and won’t feel threatened. I think they’re still getting used to each other and they haven’t fallen into the comfort of being a couple just yet.
Mandy- Awww part 47 is like a bedtime story for you. I think you are definitely into this story! I will update as soon as I can.
Mandie – Don’t worry about taking so long to comment. I take long to reply so I guess we’re even. Nick does need to get over himself. Viola hasn’t had it easy and it just sucks for her that things keep happening to her. She is in a difficult situation and like you, I wouldn’t know what to do either if I was her.
