Loved it!

Great story
Date: 19 Aug 2018 11:18 PM Title: Chapter 71: Outtake 1
Absolutely one of the best story I have read here. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your other offerings.
Date: 18 Dec 2017 4:01 AM Title: Chapter 68: Waking Up
Actually, when you have been under general anesthesia, they will usually put in a catheter so you don’t need to worry about getting up to use the toilet or having an accident. With either Fentanyl or Morphine on board, surgery patients have a tendency to sleep very heavily. A catheter is a good idea. I have had surgery almost 30 times now, and I don’t mean elective surgery with a plastic surgeon, and I haven’t used a bed pan yet.
Author's Response:
Um...as amazing as it is, I've had multiple surgeries on my leg and I didn't use a catheter and used a bed pan after I woke up from one of my surgeries. You really don't need to talk to me like I'm stupid. Just because something hasn't happened to you personally, doesn't mean it hasn't happened to anyone else in the entire universe. I'm sorry if this comes off as harsh, it's just that usually reviews that start with "actually" aren't usually well recieved. Have a great night! :)

I loved this story and the richness of Edward's journey to redemption. Well done!
Date: 11 Dec 2017 5:25 PM Title: Chapter 67: Redemption
Now that is a twist of a tale. Nicely done! I'm even willing to bet on some level Seth knew Paul loved him. Unrequited love always shows itself in small ways. Now Edward is shot? Give this sweetheart a break please.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 5:14 PM Title: Chapter 66: Hurt
Thanks for having him call his therapist and going deep into a bottle or buy drugs. I knew Paul was a part of this but why seek out the family? Stupid.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 3:17 PM Title: Chapter 63: New Year and New Beginnings
My kind of new year. Great idea for this year I just need a well hung Edward ;-)
Date: 11 Dec 2017 1:13 PM Title: Chapter 62: Charlie's First Birthday
Okay didn't Edward take Bella to Elizabeth's birthday party in chapter 19 when he got Charlie's benefit paperwork from his dad? So Bella has seen his mom. Also Elizabeth had a shit situation sure. Husband in love with someone else and cheats but fuck Edward was a baby. Also Carlisle was the weak one here. He dumped off his child and expected his wife to love the object of his betrayal. Bringing Edward home meant life changes. He should have made them. Also he should have told Edward at 16 maybe saved him pain and self destruction. A mess all around. However, Bravo Bella. Bravo!!!
Date: 11 Dec 2017 6:21 AM Title: Chapter 60: Reaching Out
Now I think I understand Paul's guilt. He's the hit and runner right? That would explain his distance from his godson. Hmmm..
Date: 11 Dec 2017 6:09 AM Title: Chapter 59: Old Friends
What's Paul's guilt about? What's going on there?
Date: 11 Dec 2017 4:59 AM Title: Chapter 53: Looking Ahead
It must be such a huge relief to have some answers and understanding.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 4:51 AM Title: Chapter 52: Opening Up
Actually there is Charlie Swan, Charles (Esme's husband) and Charles who is a nomad vampire mate of Mackenna in Breaking Dawn II so you are okay naming the the cutie Charlie;-)
Date: 11 Dec 2017 4:39 AM Title: Chapter 51: Esme's Story
Good grief what a mess huh? Better late than never I suppose.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 3:42 AM Title: Chapter 49: Good Riddance
Well Elizabeth is no peach and was horrible to edward but Carlisle and Esme screwed the pooch on is one. Carlisle has a lot of explaining to do.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 3:14 AM Title: Chapter 45: Confrontations
Can Liam be gone now? I mean why come back now it's been years. Please don't let him get edward in trouble again these kids deserve a break.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 2:38 AM Title: Chapter 43: Liam
Don't these poor kids have enough drama to make the story amazing Bella doesn't need a stalker too. JS
Date: 11 Dec 2017 2:27 AM Title: Chapter 42: Shopping
First of all I freaking love Iris and second this chapter was one of my favorites of Edward's thoughts.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 2:20 AM Title: Chapter 41: Therapy
Seriously Carlisle left that poor boy in that shit situation while he was off working. Why was he raising him and not Esme? Poor Edward didn't stand a chance. At least now he has one.
Date: 11 Dec 2017 2:05 AM Title: Chapter 39: Esme
I know it was information overload but I wish he could have avoided that drink. Carlisle really fuck up that poor boy lacked love from a mother because what? A shame really.
Date: 10 Dec 2017 11:58 PM Title: Chapter 33: Return Home
The woman is Esme right? I mean Elizabeth is a lost cause. Yes I vote Esme. I love Edwards open heart so hard right now ;-)
Date: 10 Dec 2017 11:31 PM Title: Chapter 60: Reaching Out
I wonder if Paul is the drunk driver that killed Seth and Kate?? He just acts very strange.
Date: 10 Dec 2017 10:43 PM Title: Chapter 32: Coming Clean
I know her parents are grieving and they are older but they could have made an effort too. Also, no need to be rude. I'm glad they said 'I love you.' I loved vet this little family. Again where the heck is Carlisle and where did Elizabeth disappear too?
Date: 10 Dec 2017 9:39 PM Title: Chapter 31: Road Trip
I don't want you to be down on your self either sweetheart. Bless Bella and Charlie
Date: 10 Dec 2017 9:25 PM Title: Chapter 30: Halloween
What's up with Paul guilt? Also, where is Carlisle?
Date: 10 Dec 2017 9:05 PM Title: Chapter 28: Morning After
Sweet date, hot night both responsible and sexy. He morning after...pull out doesn't work Edward I hope Bella's got the back up. I love him and Charlie together.
Date: 10 Dec 2017 8:20 PM Title: Chapter 23: Meeting The Family
God Edward's drinking, fighting and drugs was all because he lacked love and affection in the home. It's amazing how we can damage our children all while not taking the blame. I know Carlisle traveled for work but did he really JUST notice how cold and mean Elizabeth was? Come on!!! I want this Edward to succeed so bad. HEA all the way!
Date: 10 Dec 2017 7:50 PM Title: Chapter 19: Birthday Party
I don't know about all of you but I don't think Edward is hers. Elizabeth based on Edward's flashbacks and her utter lack of maternal energy says he s adopted or...? But Edward is not hers she almost resents or hates him even when he was 4. So drugs is not the reason. If this were a mobster fic which I've been reading like crazy, I would say she is Carlisle's goomah's/mot kid. Just saying ;-)
Date: 10 Dec 2017 5:30 PM Title: Chapter 7: Bella Swan
We are all broken in some fashion. No life is without pain Edward.
Date: 10 Dec 2017 5:23 PM Title: Chapter 6: Apartment Hunting
I am loving this redeemable and sweet Edward and this loving Carlisle. Little Charlie is definitely going to help keep Edward in the light. Now with the stress of everything and Edward is recovering he needs a meeting for additional support. I have feeling Bella is going to be amazing. *fingers crossed-* also my final thought if Seth was the responsible son and a college educated fire fighter with a new baby wouldn't he and his wife have had life insurance for their baby at least or for his wife if he died on the job? Curious!
Date: 18 Oct 2017 11:27 PM Title: Chapter 71: Outtake 1
awww cute seeing her POV

wow Edward is really a forgiving soul. Sweet wedding. Charlie is just too adorable
Date: 18 Oct 2017 11:12 PM Title: Chapter 68: Waking Up
Well at least Paul turned himself in. Wonder what the wicked witch will do when she finds out.
Depending on the length of surgery, he'd have a catheter.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 11:05 PM Title: Chapter 67: Redemption
Oh My. Sadly this is kind of where I saw the chapter going.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 11:00 PM Title: Chapter 66: Hurt
Oh no I was afraid he'd drink....glad he called Howell though.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 10:50 PM Title: Chapter 65: Paul's Story
And the other shoe drops. I figured the secret was either Paul was actually Charlie's dad or it was Paul who caused the accident.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 10:43 PM Title: Chapter 64: A Fresh Start
hmm wonder what the deal with Paul is? I keep thinking that he's charlie's dad or something.....
Date: 18 Oct 2017 10:32 PM Title: Chapter 63: New Year and New Beginnings
So glad he is clean and sober. He's doing Seth proud. Charlie is lucky to have B&E in his life.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 10:09 PM Title: Chapter 62: Charlie's First Birthday
oooh Mama Bella takes on the wicked witch.....Love it. Awww for the party

wow Powerful chapter. Glad he is still being strong against his addictions.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 8:30 PM Title: Chapter 60: Reaching Out
Wow, Edward is really nice with asking her. I don't know if I could be that mmagnanimousgiven how she treated E. Surprised she didn't contest custody.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 8:22 PM Title: Chapter 59: Old Friends
My conspiracy mind is churning. I'm going to ignore it and just go with Paul is just missing Seth and not anything else.
Date: 18 Oct 2017 8:15 PM Title: Chapter 58: Thanksgiving
Sweet sentiments by everyone. Cyndy sounds too cute for words
Date: 18 Oct 2017 8:03 PM Title: Chapter 57: Chief Swan
Women like Brenda give us all a bad name. Glad Paul is working on himself

Date: 29 Aug 2017 7:37 AM Title: Chapter 65: Paul's Story
So did he cause it or did he just run after.

Date: 25 Aug 2017 8:49 PM Title: Chapter 66: Hurt
Edward should not have been driving. He drank and he was so angry that he wasn't paying attention to the roads. He could have hurt someone also. I think Paul wanted him to know the truth.

I love this!! I am so happy that Edward will be alright and I am proud of Paul for finally being brave enough to own what he did and turn himself in.
I didn't think twice about the bedpan he probably would have been catheterized during surgery anyway. *cringes* What I thought about was them medicating an addict with pain killers. This is such a fantastic story and I am always excited when I get an update alert!!! ;)

I really wanted it to be option 1. :( What a terrible thing to happen.
Date: 07 Aug 2017 1:50 PM Title: Chapter 64: A Fresh Start
So I haven't read for a few weeks and by the way love your writing but I can't help my mind from creating what I think are Pauls issues. 1) He drank as a youth because Elizabeth took advantage of him in a sexual way. horrid, nasty woman.
And/or
2) Paul was the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident.
or I could be so very very wrong so I'll just keep reading.
Thanks
Date: 07 Aug 2017 8:08 AM Title: Chapter 67: Redemption
I don't know what to say.... this is gripping, heart-wrenching, edge of the seat reading. I had a feeling that Paul had been the one who killed Seth & Kate, but you have described his agony and love so well I can feel it in every word. Please hurry & write the rest of this story, I can't wait!!
PS: Happy, happy Birthday you very talented writer XX
