Parts of Me - Comments

I still hate baby momma, fyi.
I don't really see how there's any excuse to do what she did, without any word or explanation until this point.
But some of John's thoughts about Emily...
I'm gonna be salty if this goes where i think it's going to go >.<

@ everdeen
I think you might be feeling otherwise towards Her when you hear what she has to say, but next you may not find that in the next chapter

I still hate Emily, but I'm curious about why she left. Just feeling overwhelmed is not a reason, it would make her a bigger bitch if it was just that.
Dakota ♡ ♡ ♡ great name, great song, great character.
Ugh... I love this story.

too cute. dakota's awesome and i love her. the boys and john were actually adorable and i love this story so much already ahhhhh

These last two chapters were pure cuteness and love (or should I say almost love?)
I like Dakota, she seems such a strong woman and I loved their first date and how nervous John was feeling haha
the fact that she was the one who kissed John at the end of their date just shows how determined she is and it seems she goes after what she wants. I loved it!
I swear Mesa and Phoenix will be the death of me with all this cuteness going on (I'm not betraying Luke, he's forever my favorite).
What is it with you? you can turn something terrible and painful like chicken pox in something funny and adorable!!
“There is four of us, daddy,” he giggles, “you, me, Mesey and Kota.” - I think I was awwwwwwn during the entire scene, It was the sweetest thing ever. It was adorable. It was cute and I'll stop here because I can't handle how awesome daddy John is!
I agree with lacemoonz, she handled the confession pretty well and I agree with everything Dakota said, John focused more on the boys than his own feelings --which is normal, he had to raise two kids and try to figure out his feelings for the woman who left him is the last thing he'd do-- but I also think that somehow there will always be a little part of John that will love Emily, I mean they had a long relationship and loved each other a lot and she's the mother of his kids --the most important parts of him-- so it's normal to still have feelings for her. we don't forget someone who was so special to us.
I already said this but I really like Dakota and how great she is with the boys so I hope she came to stay.
please not emily. please not emily. please not emily. ugh life's a bitch so it's probably emily! nothing good lasts forever...I'm not mentally ready to see her appearance just yet. John and the boys aren't, too --but then, when will them be ready for this, right?--
I just want to say that you're really mean for dropping this hint...now I can't stop think about it. under what circumstances she'll be back? oh so many thoughts. you're so mean IG, so mean.

"I still have feelings for Emily." NOOOOOO.
The boys and John are so cute, oh my god, too much for me.
And Dakota handled that whole confession pretty well, a lot better than I would have.
I mean, I'm just going to make the obvious guess and say the mom is going to show up??? If that's correct, there's going to be so much going on. Like, how're the boys going to handle it, along with Dakota being there? Is John going to go back to her? Why did she leave? Where is everything going to stand? So many questions, I don't think I'm prepared so I kind of hope my guess is wrong.

Oh my goodness please don't set this really cute ship up only for the mother to come back and make me question my choices

But also please do because that's some intense drama right there

That was such a nice chapter. So happy and wow it made me smile, haha. I agree with everdeen though, the mom is going to suddenly show up and cause issues or at least an internal conflict with John.

An independent loving girl, oh yeah you know how to create a female character.
Daddy John is back in the game!
Such a cute chapter. I bet the mother is going to show up soon because that's life, if it seems you are extra happy, life throw you a problem.

Ooh! John likes a girl! She sounds pretty awesome. I can't wait to see where that goes. I hope the boys like her. I hope she likes the boys.

oh these boys! they can be cute even when they're being little monsters!
oh John I think it's normal to loose control sometimes, you are a single parent and have to handle everything by yourself so yeah it's understandable, don't worry, you are a great great dad!
you have no idea how much I love seeing John with those little monsters <3
Mesa made me cry with the whole ''will you come home'' thing, that was sad and it broke my heart.
When I was a kid I really wanted a twin, I wanted to have someone just like me to swap places and all those crazy things that only happen in movies lol anyways, I am imagining they trying to switch places when they meet John's new girl haha I really hope they try and do it with someone...

Daddy John is awesome! Not only he tries his best, but he also does all "by himself". That's a man.

Your whole kids speech was so accurate. Are you a psychologist?! Because you seem to have all the characters in different ages figured out.

I cried real tears when Mesa said "but will you come home?".

Oh my god. I definitely got a little choked up. Those poor babies. and poor John! It's so awful having to leave your children when you're with them majority of the time. And it's definitely hard leaving for two weeks and more. But you can see just how much John loves those boys. He's so amazing with them. And yeah it was the wrong way to handle them in the parking lot, but every parent loses their cool sometimes.

This made me emotional oh my god.

This is adorable! Love it!

Okay, definitely teared up towards the end. Of course it'd be hard for John. Most parents leave kids for a day or a weekend, but with his job he's leaving for two whole weeks.

I love Mesa and Phoenix, even if they can be little brats. Haha. But all kids are like that. I feel all sorts of emotions because John is basically doing this on his own. But at the same time, he's doing such a good job for it being just him.

@ kanitz
I'll try get one up later tonight!!

AAAHHH PLEASE UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! This is adorable, parents!8123 is by far the cutest AU for me

@ Jinx_
So happy when I saw how in depth this message was! I love when ya'll take the time to write me like this, i'm definitely feeling the lurrrvvve :)
I try to write as realistically as possible so that people can relate, like you said. I'm glad you liked that one shot and i'm glad ya'll are getting something out of this :)
I think as the story goes on and you find out more about why Emily left you might feel differently...the letter doesn't exactly cover all of the bases but you'll find out eventually...
I think we're two chapters away from a certain Miss coming into John's life, so stay tuned to see how that turns out ;)
But I can see how you'd think the boys would be about him seeing someone; surprisingly I haven't written any trust or separation issues into their personalities, which would be expected of me by now, aha. But maybe that's because they've only really known just daddy and no mama. Ugh I love family John.
ANYWAYS...
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, i really appreciate it! I'll try to update ASAP!

I agree with everything Jinx_ said, plus: THEY ARE SO CUUUTE ❤️❤️❤️
