This was such a good chapter to read. The imagery was spot on and the economy of words left all the junk out and included all the important points. Thanks
Author's Response:
Thank you :) I was worried that I had too much medical jargon in it that would leave non-medical professionals and non-spoonies (a chronically ill person) confused as anything. Glad that it was relatively understandable :)

You've gotta feel for Amelia. Good chapter. Thanks.

Hard to read about someone so young going through a medical crisis. Acute or otherwise. I know it happens but it's still not easy to hear or read about. Really good chapter. Thanks
Author's Response:
You are definitely correct there. It does suck, especially when it is a largely incurable condition and all that you can do is manage it, and hope like anything that it works.

Such a good, yet difficult, read. Thank you

Bittersweet. It makes you wish the FF Cullens could save all the desperate children inRL.

At least she has some closure re Bree.
Author's Response:
I agree with you there. If nothing else, Amelia has that closure. I wish that Bree could have had her happy ending.

Another wonderful chapter. Thank you. Just as a side note, the formatting on this page, and some previous ones, is all over the place in regards to font size. It is quite frustrating. Just FYI
Author's Response:
Hi there! I am so sorry for not responding sooner! I wrote a massive exam on Friday which had me studying frantically for the past three weeks. I do apologise for the formatting. I was having such difficulties trying to get it all the same, I hoped that it would be correct but I guess not. Thanks for alerting me to it. I will try to get it right. Do you know how to format decently? Thanks :)
Date: 17 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Poor girl. A good read. Thank you
Author's Response:
I seem to be unable to re-reply on the previous message. I just browsed through some of the chapters. I swear I just wanted to claw my eyes out. That was supremely painful to see those massive formatting differences. I am working on it. Will reupload the appropriate chapters once I figure out exactly which ones are affected. Many thanks again for letting me know!
Date: 17 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13
Gees! How could anyone do that to her? Bastard! Good chapter. Thanks
Author's Response:
Thank you! You'll hear more of Amelia's story later on. She's holding a lot of it back to protect Esme. It all comes out later on :)

Reading this chapter made me think about ordinary people, on average incomes, providing medical support for their sick children. No wonder marriages breakdown in these types of circumstances. The stress and worry, financial and emotional, must be extraordinary. A chapter to reinforce the Cullen's firm hold on their humanity. Thank you. Oh. Just noticed that you have replied to some of my reviews. Thank you. It is lovely to get your input. Thank you, also, for looking at the formatting. And no. Sorry. Long ago I was really good with formatting, but that was when electricity was a new fangled invention. Hope the hard work with your exam has paid off. Best Wishes.
Author's Response:
Thank you for alerting me to the errors! I started uploading each chapter as a text document so hopefully it doesn't become an issue again. If you do pick up a glitch on another chapter, please do let me know :)
I speak from experience when I say that it is supremely difficult trying to afford all of the medication on top of everything else. Medical aid only covers so much, and often you have to pay for the bulk of it yourself. Fortunately, my sister was involved in a few medical trials so then the medication is free because of its research value. With the ten year age gap between us, I had a better start to life, medically speaking, than she did (yay for medicine advances!) but my mom often said that there were times when she went without lunch simply to make sure that my sister had all the medication she needed, times when she worried where the next meal was going to come from. "We didn't have two beans to rub together, but we made it." It's tough, but when your sick child needs the medication, you make sacrifices :) And in the bigger scheme of things, our medical condition is minor compared to what some families go through. Mucous Plugging Syndrome (affects 1% of Chronic Asthmatics), which is what we have, is honestly nothing compared to cancer kiddies, for example. Marriages do breakdown, relationships end. It's reality because it is really stressful. I don't know how parents do it. But I am grateful that they did :)

Can you imagine the look on the face of a 300 + year old man when he is greeted by a young girl saying 'sparrow's fart'? LOL. A very positive chapter. Bella's sense of humour is refreshing. I am looking forward to her meeting the rest of the family. Patience. Patience. ;D
Author's Response:
Patience indeed ;) Haha I never actually thought of that. Now I'm literally laughing as I type this. Aaah you have made my day :D Amelia has an amazing sense of humour, which is very uplifting. When you're chronically ill, laughter gets you through some really rough days :)
Date: 30 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17
i have to agree with her on the Aston and Bentley. Not the Merc though. Merc's quality control and reliability, plus their lack of innovation, has really suffered over last decade. The bulk of their sales is made up of the smaller,cheaper models. or as one car industry commentator likes to call them 'shit boxes'. lol. Shall we not mention VW and their criminal actions? Wonderful chapter. your proportional breakdown of crowd behaviour was pretty good. there's always one couple...
Author's Response:
VW... Please. Do not even go there. Not sure what they did (criminal actions? No mention of it in my country at least - I think we live in different ones), but my mom has one and their after-sales service is atrocious. It's sad really, because her car is great. I used her experience as a stepping stone and got a Toyota which I am so happy with. My dad loves it too. It's his favourite car. Sadly for him, he can't drive it (he drives like a turkey.. There is a reason we all buy manual transmission - so that our cars are safe from Dad!). Darn, I really liked Merc. But even so, I could liken VW to them as well. Take the Polo Vivo, it's essentially a Citi Golf engine, in a Citi Golf body made to look like a Polo. It's no "stronger", structurally speaking, than a Citi Golf. Merc's only problem for us was the handbrake on the older models - it was foot controlled apparently which made renting a car a nightmare for a certain member of our family. I believe the newer models are electronic and finger controlled (which I like actually - though I do prefer a physical handbrake over a little lever in the centre of the console). Merc is very pricey over here though, unaffordable to the average Joe. So I cannot really comment, although the new A Class is very ncie to look at...
Aston... When I go to the rich people's mall (very touristy too), I always walk past the dealership and stare... I may or may not fantasise about owning one. Bentley is luxurious as well. Jaguar is not too bad either, wouldn't mind getting one. I find that Porsche is becoming very popular and it's very annoying. It's everywhere you look!
Yes, there is always one couple... Always.

Who's going to have a disruption to their sex lives. The new parents of course! Amelia seemed particularly well over this day. I wonder if humidity has a positive or negative impact cystic fibrosis?
Author's Response:
Haha!! I love how Esme feels like a new Mom, it's so sweet. I actually have a one shot idea where Amelia inadvertently interrupts them while they are hunting in the forest and.. other activities... and they come sprinting out of the forest all dishevelled and their clothes are wrecked and she just packs out laughing. She wasn't needing their help, Emmett snuck up on her or something and she got a fright, but their very tattered state could make for a hilarious one shot. What do you think? (only reason it's a one shot is because the story is basically done :P)
Date: 30 Aug 2016 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20
Even though Amelia's circumstances are not positive you have succeeded in making this a positive read. Without the love and affection this story would be 'angst ridden and depressing. instead, you are writing a 'the joy of life'.
Author's Response:
Aw thanks! I like to think that it's about living your life when you're terminally ill, and in Amelia's case, rediscovering what it means to have a family. There will be some angst, but she is coming into her own. It also shows a bit how important it is to surround yourself with family and people who care for you when you are at your sickest. Maybe that's just my glorified opinion (haha) but family makes all the difference. Amelia had no one to fight for, and now that she has a family, she will fight a little harder.
Thank you for all of your lovely reviews :)

Edward Cullen is the heir-apparent to the most infamous crime families in Chicago. He was notorious for his time with his enemies, his many dates and his ruthless skill in the board room, the front for the illicit dealings of the Cullen Crime Consortium. However, to take over the family, his father reminded him about the stipulation that Edward needed to be married. Edward hated that stipulation, but he agreed to it and he had less than a year to make it a reality.
Isabella Swan is a struggling graduate student, working as a waitress in a local diner, The Swan Dive. On a chance meeting, Edward finds Bella to be enchanting and the perfect woman to marry. He makes an indecent proposal, suggesting marriage and paying for Bella’s tuition, and then some. Will Bella accept his proposal, with the possibility of having her dreams come true, but married to a sexy, enigmatic rich businessman? Or will she figure out the truth, that her future-husband is Married to the Mob?
