Great chapter, even though Mike's a douche. I feel awful for Taylor's family, but I'm so happy there was a huge turn out - that way they know how much he was loved.

Ugh, I totally understand her worry - so much! I am SO happy, though, that she's letting him in. What a TRAGIC nightmare!
OH, and I didn't get a word in about Jake. I feel terrible about that, but I have a feeling Quil is going to get his - real good!
Love it!

I had been wondering about Bella's parents, I couldn't remember what happened to them (I kept meaning to go back and reread the first chapter or two but had not yet!!)
Now need to finish up this shit with Mike so they can marry & have babies!!!

Have you tried going to the website Autism speaks, it can tell you about the spectrum and the different branches of the disability, my niece and nephew are autistic, my nephew much more so than my niece but them my neice shows signs of having Bipolar disorder, so the kids are a mess
Date: 02 Jul 2012 6:37 AM Title: Epilogue
They say the best is saved for last!!!! I've read straight through, time allowing, only giving you the highest rating available. Now that I don't have another "Next" I need to apologize. I should have done a better job reviewing but I just couldn't stop with limited time for reading.
But ---- what an amazing story!!! You covered every emotion there is. Edward and Bella were very creative charachters. I believe the part that I enjoyed the most was from their wedding through to the end of the story. The most emotional part for me was the birth of the triplets. Love Lizzie's and David's personalities but I Marie found a place of my soul. I could see her tug on their ears and that just tugged at my heart. I know the struggles associated with a challenged child. My 18 year old son is not autistic but he is ADD,has a delayed speech pattern and also slight tendencies toward Aspergers. This might help you more understand my FB rant on bullying regarding the review that you received. Yeah, I'm a mom through and through.
I can't wait to read the sequel, time permitting. Im getting my son read to attend technical school in the fall.
Loved the story. You are a very talented and amazing author. Creativity to the Nth degree. I am so happy that I have an entire catalog of your stories to read!!! Thanks for writing for our fandom. I appreciate you so much.

Ok - a lap dance from Edward. Crap he didn't see my hand raised so instead of looking stupid I lowered the temp in the room!!! :D
This was a chapter well worth waiting for. Can't wait to see where things go with Rose and Emmett.
Loving the story.

I owe you an apology. I began reading last night really late and became so obsessed with your story that I continued to Rate and hit next. So I decided I would come back this morning, more alert, and give you the review that your story deserves!!!
I LOVE YOUR SNARKY ASSED BELLA!!! Her mouth, even though quite rash at times, simply puts everything into a proper perspective. She has verbalized thoughts that I have kept to my self before. And the blush is perfect!!
I LOVE YOUR GLASSES WEARING, LIGHTLY SCARRED SEXY ASSED EDWARD!!!! His history and personality are killing me softly. And when he blushes I just simply melt. I love that his personality is such that he has a beautiful heart!!
Yeah, I put those in caps. Thought it might put more umph into my feelings about these two. Just from reading this epistle can you tell that I LOVE YOUR STORY?
I read that this was your first forray into writing -- well honey, you broke into writing the right way. Truly amazing way with words.
I also read that this was cathartic for your. I believe that by the time you completed this story you must have felt pretty good!!!
Loving the story -- loving your words so well written across the page!!!
Elaine -- sparkledamnu on twitter Sparkle Damnu Phillips on FB
PS - I will do my best to review after every chapter!!! But I promise to always leave a rating. The no review from me means that I had to hurry on to the next chapter!!! Smiles shyly here while peaking through my eyelashes!!!!

It's kinda hitting home for me too. what's even funnier is that my husbands name is mike too!
Date: 11 Jun 2012 3:33 PM Title: Epilogue
Just finished reading this story... I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Date: 11 Jun 2012 3:46 AM Title: The Interview
Edward has money. Why hasn't he hired bodyguards or hired someone to find Mike.
Date: 11 Jun 2012 3:14 AM Title: The Fight
Totally disagreeing with Alice.
Date: 10 Jun 2012 9:54 PM Title: The Emerald City
I'm surprised Bella would tell a complete stranger about Mike.
Date: 10 Jun 2012 9:25 PM Title: The Christmas Ball
I can't fathom Bella allowing Mike to alienate her from her father.
Date: 10 Jun 2012 8:56 PM Title: The Conferences and Concerts
If she thought she was being followed then you never go to your house. Considering what's going on she needs to be smarter. Is she still going to therapy?
Date: 10 Jun 2012 12:39 AM Title: The Reality
Bella is killing me. I know she has issues from her marriage. But she left like as much as he left her. She wanted the divorce. And after what Mike has done him leaving is a blessing. And what "logic" is her mind using that would keep her in that condo after what happened?
Date: 10 Jun 2012 12:30 AM Title: The Talk
I'm not sure about the dates. Would Charlotte have been killed before Bella and Mike hooked up or during the relationship?
Date: 10 Jun 2012 12:11 AM Title: The Funeral
What is Mike's deal? He cheated and moved on with Jessica. Why is he obsessed with Bella. He wasn't this interested when they were married.
Date: 09 Jun 2012 1:52 AM Title: The Calm
Why is Bella not asking for alimony? She's only hurting herself.
Date: 09 Jun 2012 1:44 AM Title: The End
One of her coworkers? That's extra shady. Cheating is awful but when it's someone he spouse knows is worse. And Bella has to see the skank everyday.

I am loving this story and cant't wait till the part where Mike gets his. I would like to see them have twins. One boy (Andy) and one girl (Abby). I hope for a very happy ending. It's been great to read your story. Thanks
Date: 03 Jul 2011 11:27 PM Title: Epilogue
I came a little late to this party, but I'm so glad I did. This story was amazing! I absolutely loved it! Poor Bella and Edward went through so much, but they finally got their happy ending. I'm a teacher not a doctor, but it seems to me that Marie is autistic. I've taught students with autism, and one of my favorite little buddies is autistic. They are amazing children once they're given a chance and properly diagnosed.
I'm so excited that there's going to be a sequel! I'd like to see you explore Marie's relationship with her siblings. How does she get along with them, especially since Lizzie's so bossy? LOL Someone else also mentioned Edward's medical issues, and I'm also wondering if any of them will come into play as he gets older. (I wrote my own story about an Edward with a brain injury, and I did tons of research on it. Sometimes I felt more like an MD than a teacher! LOL) I can't wait to see what's next for our little family.
Date: 20 Jun 2011 5:22 AM Title: Epilogue
I have loved reading this story. Thank you so much for writting it. All that Bella went through is something so many women face everyday. I hope you do write a sequel I think it will be great to see what happens next with their family..

Thank you for the amazing story. I hope to read the next installment. You were amazing with this story. In the future I am curious about E's health and any lingering effects he may have from his accident when he was young.
