Think every one is hurting, Jill started out as a bit of brat and grew (in more ways then one) into a caring person.

Sam is hurting, don't know if he will ever forgive himself, it will always a be a what if.  I am sure he would of traded his life for Jill's in a heartbeat, that's just the man he is.  I also believe at some level Julie knows this as well...

Julie, just as she is dealing with her own self-inflected wounds from her treatment of Sam this hits.  She's likely angry at Billy, maybe angry with Sam, could be angry with the police, but I think she is if she's being truthful with herself most angry with herself.  She has trained with Sam, she knew what he could do before he shrunk, she has likely heard from the Cops what a "hero" he is (and likely some parts of her know that as well), maybe even seen the tape and knows it beyond a doubt.  The for lack of a shoe sieries of events have to play in her mind.  If she hadn't of done what she did to Sam, Billy might of never been an issue, if he was Sam even at 4'9" would of easily dealt with him and kept Jill safe, if she hadn't of 'assulted' Sam he might of gathered his confience earlier and dealt with Billy, for everything Sam can blame on himself, she can blame at least two of her own actions for why Jill died.

As stated Julie knows at least on some level Sam would of died to save his sister, in an ironic sense Julie may of wished for that to happen.  Not cause she wants Sam to die, but if he had to go it was THE WAY to go and he would be free of her and what she did to him.  The only person Julie would likely want to die more is herself, maybe she could do right by Sam as he had done right by her.

It may take her some time, and she is going to be angry, with Sam blaming himself she may find comfort in blaming him for a while and let him continue to be her 'sin eater' but I think she has matured enough that over time knowing the man Sam is as she gets over her grief she will try to heal Sam.  In fact it maybe easier for her to get over her grief then Sam as Sam always takes the littlest of things to heart.

Hope they heal and are their for the other, hope the crew heals and is there for both of them.  Thank you.

Jill and Sam not good, hoping the crew comes together...

Not sure if they gets Julie out of her current state or makes her feel worse.  The if onlys start to kick in especially when she learns Sam is in surgery.  She will listen to every message and think if only I had been there and with her reconiciling with Jill it will only make it that much worse.  Maybe Zoe cuts into her as well (she has been doing that for the last couple of chapters).  Any way you look at it likely Julie will feel even worse then before.  Hopefully she has matured enough to know at some level it this instance isn't her fault it's Billy's and that she has to be there and strong for both Jill and Sam.

I am a bit worried about Sam and Billy being at large, any normal sized person could take Sam.  I would hate to be Billy if he did hurt or kill Sam and Julie finds out.  All that angunish would become rage with a focus, someone other then herself had hurt Sam, I doubt Billy would enjoy or even survive that, not sure Julie would survive the gulit afterward.  She would likely see it as yet another sin she inflicted on her Love, after avenging him, she would berate herself for letting him come to harm.

Speaking of Julie, it's becoming ever more clear she has always needed Sam.  She is the poster child of 'Love makes you crazy' and 'Love makes you evil' (both from Tv Tropes).  She has been growing up (at times very slowly), her physical growth spurt didn't help matters, nor did Sam's enabling of her.  Though I doubt Julie of chapter one or fifty would have the moral courage she has now.

Don't particulary like the other girls trying to crowd Julie out of Sam's life.  Understand they believe they are protecting him, and that there are times when you have to retreat or even give up.  Even if Sam has reached that point Julie still needs him as a fellow human being.  His nature is to help and if something happened to her you know he would feel awful.  They should let Sam be Sam and if they can fix things they should be happy for him.  The once bitten twice shy rule doesn't completely cover this, Julie wasn't gloating over what she had done, she was geniuely remorseful and from Jill and others she is devestated by what she did.  It doesn't excuse it, but as mentioned before she did have a time when 'Love made her Crazy and Evil' don't think that applies any more to her.

In the end Julie needs Sam in her life (at least a friend) if she is to be happy.  He has been her anchor, her rock, her means of support.  She took ihim for granted and got jealous a fair bit. she also allowed other to mock him and took it out on him instead of them (Sunflower girls),but I hope that with her confession came an ephiny and that she know her emotional and mental growth are much more important then her physical growth.

Without Sam, what does she do, she won't be satified with the Sunflower Girls, will she work things out with Jill and do her utmost to treat those like she infected?  Will she become so desponent that she seeks out the same disease she gave Sam so she can return to the way things were in forlon hope for Sam?  Will her own growth perhaps provide a treatment or cure for Sam?  If so, and if he's cured would she try to get back together at that point or will her guilt stop her?  After her realiztion can she allow herself to be happy again?

I believe Julie will from here on out attempt to support and help Sam.  She will do it covertly, quietly and in sercert.  I think she has reached the point that she feels she no longer deserves him, or anything good in her life.  I think Sam being Sam will do the same for Julie, he will help where he can, support as he can, and wish her the best if they don't heal.

I think they should meet and let time and healing take them where they can go.  If it's friends that might be good enough, but Julie never had to tell the truth, one day, could of become one week, a month a year, maybe on his death bed (or hers).  She knew the pain it would cause both of them, but Sam deserved the truth.

Thank you for a great chapter, still want healing beteewn Sam and Julie...

Sam is remarkable, other then not being able to 'keep it in his pants' he is a very good person.

Worried about Julie, doubt she's ever felt like this before, I am guessing Sam's first instinct is to go to her and tell her he's fine and its ok (after a couple of days).  Most poeple are their own worst critics, I think right now that is espcially true of Julie, every kindness from Sam right now may be more acid on the wound (I don't deserve him, I am a monster, He needs to stay away from me for his own good...).  Sam does have to be Sam so as K suggest a message that he's ok and he hopes she feels better and he is there for her and would like to talk if she would may cause lots of tears but also give her hope.  A small living plant of a non-romantic nature that he knows she likes with a note like the message would burn as well but would also reinforce he cares for her without being overbaring.

Right now Julie needs to determine iif she can be good for Sam (which I believe she is).  If she's grown like I think she has in spirt and emotionally every time she sees, talks and makes love with Sam from here on out there will be that bit of pain to remind her of what she did, and the wonderful man she did it to.  In time (maybe a short amount) the joy will outwiegh the pain, but it will never go away, cause I believe at some level she will never forgive herself for it and over time Sam is smart enough to know it and though he forgives her he will have to stop saying or it will become picking at an old wound..

Good Chapter, saying 'hi' hoping time and life are treating you well!

I think Jill would have to confirm it, she would ask Sam or Zoe and if it was confirmed Jill would likely try to start healing rifts at multiple levels.  First her and her sister which would be the main focus, if after all the water that has passed under what's left of their bridge can be made better, pretty much anything could in Jill Point of View.  The Sam and Julie, Julie wouldn't of gotten there if it wasn't for Sam, Jill though standoffish as you stated likes Sam, she would put a fair amount of effort trying to get them to at least reconcile and if the sisters can get back together, she would make that her main effort, the others would flow from the first two.

They need to protect Gail, Jill and Julie are the only ones without weapons that can do it, so hopefully somewhere in the conversation beteewn Jill and Julie, or later Sam and Julie they understand bad stuff has gone on, but right know Gail needs her and Sam doesn't want to leave her on the street, so as they work through things Julie if possible needs to stay close to Gail.

The whole situation is this Sam I believe will forgive her, he will take her back as a friend, the issue is being burned twice will that make him to gunshy even if her sees improvement with Julie?  Me I would be warry, but Sam's a trouble shooter, he can have set goals that she needs to reach and attempt to fix things, if Julie doesn't push to hard and if Sam finds even one more milimeter I believe they can in time make it work.  The key issue is how hurt Sam will remain, if it can even be partially healed they have a fighting chance.  I am hoping they do reunite, as you said Julie likely didn't know just how bad the thing she did was and when she did figure it out she burried it hoping it would stay six feet under, now she knows she will likely do everything she can to start fixing it herself.

Thank you.

Seemed like more a transion chapter, but a good one.  Keep it up every story needs to shift gears from time to time.

Hope you are doing better and again sorry for your loss.

Sunflower girls arc/new story.  Depending on the ending, if things go south for Julie and Sam I would like Julie to have a redemption story (hopefully not much of 'redemption' would be needed just her maturing a bit) with the Sunflow girls as a follow on story.  I would espeacilly like it form Julie's prespective (since this story has been all Sam all the time).  If she and Sam are together how she plans to get the Girls to help others.  If events force her and Sam apart at the end, that she strives to be worthy of his friendship, that finding the golden road back to him (and the way you have it set up right now Zoe).  Using her size to help find a cure, trying to get him to an average hieght, being there for him when no else will be.  Excelling at things other then being big, strong and fit knowing Sam would want her to be sucessful in all things (and makes her appealing to him as well).

After Julie, how she begins to mold the girls in her image, works so that they see others as being worthy of help, of care, or compassion.

Them being the Sunflower Girls there still will be arrogance and some sense of entitlement, but in will be channeled into good works and pushing things for those 'poor slubs' who are tiny through no fault of their own.  Basically they become good, and strive to do better but there is always going to be a touch of narricissism even in Julie, but it doesn't stop them from help others, in fact in a perverse way them being "better' makes them work harder to help.

Hope the jumble here helps on your call, sent message with regard to IRL, hope things get better for you.

Just Read 79, the baggage appears, Jill has no problem sabatoge Julie so the fight they may of been bad, even apporaching what Julie did to Sam level.  My guess is Jill wasn't happy with how Julie treated same when she had her 'lapse" and Julie not dealing well with the gulit projected how Sam did things to her and how he had it coming or the like.  It was likely just a stupid sentence or two and she probley felt horrible about it, but as bagage goes Julie saying something like "he had it coming', or 'the Sunflower girls were right about him' would put a bit of cold water on what's becoming a ever hotter pot.

If it was worse Jill would spill, she had no issues 'letting' it slip that Julie knew about Sam's disease.  Julie not spilling with everthing else she's done that's right means she's ashamed or worries it could hurt or end their relationship.  I personally think she said some things stupid, that she regerts them even when she was a bit pissy (when they were basically broken up and she was a bit full of herself in a bad way) and that it was a difference it scale not in kind, which Sam already having some issue that he's resloving will hopefully not act in haste but see how she's grown even in the time they've gotten back together.  Sam's 'big' enough to know that everyone when stressed makes mistakes, Julie at the time of her assult was definitely stressed she likely said some very stupid things to her sister who by her existance has been know to piss Julie off, so Sam has some issues he need to tell Julie and Julie likely has a Whooper to tell Sam, the scales should mostly blance and they can continue to heal.

Thank you for a great chapter.

Good Chapter, seems Sam is getting over his little hiccups with Julie.  Julie likes the three some, as does Sam and Zoe.  I think Julie would be fine with just the cuteness factor of Zoe and Sam, I think she wants to love and protect them both very much.  It could be an issue if she becomes overprotective or maternal (or both).  Both are wonders of talent, reslove and each helps others, Julie just being around them has to have a high going, then knowing she's so much physically more powerful, oh god that love of hers must be rigid all the time around them...

I know Sam has to suffer, but when all the girls are taller then him, can he hang inverted on Julie and begin to grow (from all her growing and love for him and her really wanting him to have a normal hieght if only to know what's like, not that Julie would love him less if he's two feet then five, but I think she knows how hard it is on him and would hope for his sake to allow him to feel just a bit of what she feels).

Know it's the final run so problems will come fast and furious, but as Family Julie, Sam, Zoe and the rest of the crazy mixed up brunch can make it through and stick together!

Thank you for the chapter and hope home life improves.

I like the playful, confident, sexy and dominate Julie.  I think she has a contact high every time she thinks about Sam, Top Secret clearence, well-paid, smart, problem solver, has a great heart and is willing to do things for even those that hurt him (like her) all that and he fits into her hand :-).  Thats part of the high as well to know this man of so many gifts is hers and if she was of a mind to he could be hers alone (no one is going to challange a 8' tall supergirl like her), that she has all this power on Sam in size and attraction, she might not need Zoe and Sam for anything else, not that having Zoe in a simalir situation doesn't make her motor rev higher.

Physically Julie will be careful, but she is still young, I don't think she gets all the mental aspects of her power.  Even being gentle playing with Sam and Zoe like they are dolls maybe cute as hell for Julie, but maybe a tad controling for Sam, and I think Julie knows it's a bit controling (experimentation), but I don't think she's to the point where she considers her every action, so for a while she's going to make 'uncomfortable' mistakes.  Sam's a grown man he knows it will be ok and he did ask for experimentation.  Though I did like Sam being trapped under Julie's panties, from her laughter Julie did as well, embrassing but fun Sam can handle...

Everyone is still growing but Sam, considering all he's been through and all he has he can deal with it though and as he stated he's never had more instreting and fun times, now the author is going to put some problems in his way, but we all need character develop.

Great Chapter, hope things are moving in the right direction at home.  Keep Julie and Sam together, together they can handle anything!
