Wow...Edward did a great job with the proposal!  Hoping Esme and Bella can really repair their relationship.  Awesome chapter.



Author's Response:

I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter (I personally think "Marry Me" would be better sung by Edward than Train, but what do I know?).  i don't think B and Es will ever have a close relationship, but they are working on it.

Thanks for reading. Next update should be this week some time.

Author's Response:

Are you from around Boston?  It's worth the 45 minutes to get ice cream and ignore the gas prices.  Ice Cream = happiness.  (If you are heading over to Cabot's I can suggest the topping mellowcream fudge...yum!  Now I kind of want to take the drive to Newton!

Anyway, I'm glad you liked the chapter!  hte nexy update should be this week.

Bella is still dealing with the death of Charlie and now Esme is sick. She is not close to her and I know she feels guilty about this fact. This fight will bring them closer. They will need each other.

Depends on the type of cancer. My daughter's sister in law had both breast removed and a full hysterectomy. That is because her type fed off of hormones. I just lost a friend that had her initial occurance 14 years ago. One breast removed then she refused chemo & radiation. The next year same thing on the other breast. She changed her diet to reduce all hormone fed foods and no caffiene. The treatments now vary to just a lumpectomy on the smaller cases.

 



Author's Response:

I'm purposly making the cancer thing vauge.  We'll find out more as things progress.  Even though this topic is a real life one, I am not a doctor and am writing based on people's expreences.  Even though I am writing based on real events, this story is fiction.

I loved the scene at the gravesite. I love how close Edward was with his Dad. It doesn't change when they die. You still talk to them they just answer you differently. Thyey answer in how you in dreams or a sense of wellbeing after a conversation. Edward and Jane will understand this more and more as time passes.

Hi and thanks for reading.  I just wrote to another reader that i wrote this chapter for two reasons: the first was to show that Edward still very much loves Bella and wants to marry her.  He's working on that.

Also, I wanted to give soem closure to Charlie.  Edward was in a bad place when Charlie died adn didn't get to focus a lot on saying goodbye, so he got his chance.

Well FINALLY.  I am glad he has given up all his insecurities and TANYA. That was big. She had to go. Staying away from Hollywood for a while is a good idea. If he wants to do a movie at one point, he can pick the product demand more money and negotiate his time with his family.  Not one movie after another. He can also say ...NO Tanya in the cast.



Author's Response:

Hi,

I hope that you understand now where Edward was coming from and what he was thinking about during various parts of the story.  I know through your reviews you had some issues with Edward and I hope I cleared some of them up. Edward does't want the Hollywood life.  he's ready to hang it up and give it all up for his family, Bella and Charlotte.  I hope you like  him a little more now! 

I'm hoping to get the next update soon.  It's part two of Edward's POV.  I'm really looking foward to writing that one because I am hoping it will be more sentimental and all.  We'll see how I do!

I wanted to give you fair warning that this scene will come up in the next chapter or two (the next two are going to be from Edward's POV and he gets into this a little more).  I wanted to let you know this incase you didn't want to read it.

I want to put this nice. Edward has the cow hook line and sinker, milk and all free of charge and a calf... for free. So what is the hurry? His excuses are LAME. Tanya over and over.. BS  He is still that same selfish, self absorbed person. The only redeeming quality is that he loves his daughter. Perhaps he can teach her that marriage is a waste of time.  I am not his fan. Don't give a shit for his POV... He needs to change words are cheap.

 



Author's Response:

Hi, first I want to thank you for reading.  I appreciate the comments.

Edward (or me since I am controling his mind in this story) is working up to something.  He is somewhat of a perfectioniest and wants things perfect.  I know you don't want or like his POV, but when the next one is written he'll get a peak into his mind and see what he is thinking and what the hold up with the proposla is.  It'll make sense when all is revieled.  he isn't selfish.  He lives for Bella and his daughter.  I hope you'll stick around with the story long enough to see where I am going with this.

Again, thanks for the review.  I am hoping that the next update will be in just a few days.

Bella can't keep a secret. Rose asked her not to tell Edward and she ran home and told him about being asked to being a godfather. She talks about Edward not being trustworthy. Bella is a gossip and an eavesdropper. Edward was just really scared and had to work through some issues. He also received some very bad advice from her brother. Bella needs to realize that she is not perfect. Edward is not either. No one is and as soon as she realizes that their lives will be better. Edward should not have to worry that she might leave at any moment if he messes up.



Author's Response:

Hi and thank you for reading and reviewing.

Bella isn't doing anything to be mean or vicious.  She isn't trying to be a gossip or anything like that.  When she heard Edward and Jane talking about the engagement she literally walked into it.  She wasn't trying to or wanted to hear their conversation.  She also didn't want to walk into the middle of that conversation. She didn't want them to know that she heard everything.

She was also just excited for Edward to be asked to be the godfather and gave him the heads up knowing he could act surprised. She was excited that her family, Rose included, is seeing them as a couple.  

Bella knows she isn't perfect and just wants what we all want, to be happy.  She knows Edward isn't perfect either.  She knows that they both have their faults and they are doing what anyone can do, they are trying their best to work through their issues and whatever comes up. 

Trust me, Bella isn't leaving Edward.  There is no other place in the world she'd rather be than with him and their daughter.

I hope this cleared some things up! :)

The next update will be soon!

I thought it was a safe assumpption to assume Emmett's eyes were blue, thank you for giving me confirmation on it!

Bella kind of walked into the conversation that Jane and Edward were having about the engagement.  She didn't want to interrupt them and make it that obvious that she heard everything.  Plus she doesn't know how or when he'll do it (it's a little ways to go yet).

Since no one really knows the color's of Alice's eyes. It goes rom brown to blue to grean.

I think it's only natural that no one knows Emmet's either.

The most I've heard of his eye color. Is blue. So there's a start. lol

Esme is just as mysterious when it comes to eyes as well.

 

Is it odd for me to assume that all blondes have blue eyes? lol



Author's Response:

Thanks for the explanation on the eye color.  I've noticed that sometimes people get angry if you don't stick to excatly how the charaters are protrayed in the book, thus my disclaimer. 

I don't think it's odd to assume that blonde have blue eyes (i'm blonde haired blue eyes, however one of my best friends is blonde haird brown eyes.  I guess like with everything else sometimes there is a variation!

She let him off a little too quick and easy, but yeah, she should have forgiven him. Kudos to Rose for 'manning up' and giving Bella some decent advice for once- there may be hope for her yet. I don't think he should be arrested- I mean the pap grabbed for Bella. I think before they take him away someone should step up and say that the pap instigated the whole thing. Can't wait for more!!



Author's Response:

hello and thanks for reading/reviewing.

I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.  I had it planned for a little bit that Rose would be the one to offer advice to Alice.  Things with the arrest will get resolved in the next chapter!

Now do your home work. California has laws to prevent them from being harrassed. Also you might use the word "amazing" less. You used it twice in once sentence following another sentence with it.

 

Now.. good story. Of course we all hate Tanya. I find I do in most stories. Edward gets a lawyer and gets out. Tell Bella to follow the police to the station. She is a smart girl. She can bond him out.  When they leave Califoria..the land of fruits & nuts. Pun intended things will get better.

Forgiving him was correct they were broken up. He lied. More over he is good to the baby and that is #1 important.  He is growing up just in time to be a daddy.

 



Author's Response:

Hi and thanks for reading/reviewing.

 

I was unaware of this California law, however that isn't always the case.  Russel Brand almost got his work visa taken away when a paparazzo tried to take a picture up Katey Perry's dress. He had to pay something like $20,000 and was in jail for I think  a day.  There might be laws but it seems it doesn't mean anything (plus at the end of the day, this is a work of fiction and maybe if I use a story line like that agian in the future I'll look up the laws.  thank you for bringing this to my attention).

I've been under the weather the past few days and didn't realize I used the same word in the same sentence twice!  I usually try to use the thersaurous and use a different word.

I also find myself hating Tanya, even if she isn't potrayed as being the bad guy.    i am unsure if we've seen the last of her.  I'm kind of messing around with an idea but I don't know if it would make it into the story.

I'm so glad they talked things out!  Having Bella talk to Rose and get advice was a surprise but it worked nicely, re-establishing their relationship and giving Rose a chance not only to make amends but give Bella perspective on what happened. I'm especially pleased that they got to the heart of the matter - lying - rather than sex, since Tanya blew the whole episode way out of proportion.  Obviously they still have a ways to go (maybe they should get counseling as a couple?) but I'm just relieved that this wasn't a major setback. They are a family and Charlotte deserves both of them.

Now that E won he'll be in even more demand as an actor. I want him to stay focused on their family, but maybe if Bella isn't working they can all go if he does do a movie somewhere once in a while?

Hope Bella bails Edward out PDQ...he's too pretty to sit in jail for long!  :)

Thanks for the quick and regular updates!



Author's Response:

Hello and thank you fro reading/reviewing.

I planned the Rose/Bella talk a while ago to reestablish their relationship.  Tanya was beign a jerk about the whole thing.  She isn't a nice person, plan and simple. 

Edward won't be going back to work any time soon, Oscar or no Oscar,  He doens't want to.

Edward is way too pretty to be spending alot of time in jail.  The next chapter will resolve that issue!

Damn, I knew that secret would come back and bite him in the ass.  Edward just doesn't seem to learn his lesson.  I was just hopeful that they could get thru the oscars before everything hits the fan.

Actually, I was surprised with how devious Tanya is, she just can't let it go, and I am sure her being at the spa at the same time as Bella was not a coincidence.  Ugh, she is gross...

I hope Bella can find a way to forgive Edward for lying, but I don't see it happening easily since she asked him point blank a while back and he got defensive about it and continued to hide the truth.  He may have to propose to her just to get her back for good after this...

 



Author's Response:

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

Edward wanted to protect Bella.  Emmett seemed to think not telling her the whole truth was a good idea.  Tanya wants what she wants when she wants it and doens't care who gets hurt.  She is gross.  Bella and Edward will be duking it out in the next chapter.  I don't think at this point there is a way to get on her good side right now.

Say good bye to happy weekend and the end of their relationship again...

If it works out any other way I shall be amazed.



Author's Response:

Edward is a stupid man, who is in love.  He obviously didn't want to hurt Bella.  After talkign to Emmett he decided he'd keep his mouth shut and not bring Tanya up again because she was going to stay out of his life forever and never bothe rhim again, right?  WRONG!

Well I am not suprised. Tanya is that kind of snake. Remember what Jane said?  She either has to let is slide or forget him forever. That is all she can do. They still have the baby he still has a wandering penis,obviously.

 

The main thing is you can not keep going back to this.  Charolette needs both parents. He is doing a great job of that. So, she swallows the story and decides to set this out and see if he does it again. Or she finally once and for all says enough.

Deep breaths...ok.  Knew this was coming, just didn't know when or how.  I'm glad Bella didn't have a knee-jerk reaction and wants to talk.  Edward was wrong to not tell Bella that he came close to hooking up with Tanya before - definitely wrong, especially when Bella directly asked him about it.  However, there are some extenuating circumstances that Bella needs to understand. 

First, they weren't really *together* then. Second, her own brother is the one who told Edward to keep it quiet. He also advised this while he had Edward out on his little "threat" trip.  Edward was not about to go against Emmett.  Third, Bella's own mother flat out cheated on Carlisle earlier in their marriage, and they were able to work through it.  I hope daddy is able to give Bella some perspective, because I just know Bella is going to go off the deep end here. Finally, Tanya is a lying bitch whore. Plus, Edward was in a very different place then...but since then he's in therapy and is completely devoted to Bella and Charlotte.

I know it's going to be rough, but I hope they are able to work through this. Please continue with the regular updates so I don't go insane!  :)

I have to agree with Renee and Esme [can't believe I am typing that]...His earlier fears about babies and marriage stem from his past...well, Tanya is gone from his life and he has been in counseling for the rest...he has a baby that he loves and claims he loves Bella, so why it is such a big deal for him to man up and marry Bella...It doesn't have to be tomorrow, but to know it is in the future for them would be nice.

And lets face it, after he was such a dick and completely absent from her entire pregnancy, I think he owes one to Bella, and making one of her dreams a reality is the way to go...he even claims he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and knows she is it for him, so its really only a title at this point....Man up Edward!

However, I am nervous about his Tanya lies coming back to bite him in the ass with his relationship with Bella.  They are happy together but still seem so fragile, and I don't want to think about what will happen if Bella knows that Edward went to Tanya while they were apart and tried to get with him in NY.  Emmett's advice may not have been the best thing to follow...
