Date: 22 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 25: Don't Worry, Be Happy
great chapter, things are moving along nicely for bella and edward, life is good and peanut getting stronger all the time, leg cramps are shockingly painful (i can remember only to well) i like their names conversation using elizabeth as a middle name is a wonderful idea i have done the same with my daughters they all have my mothers name as a middle name (she died 10 months before my eldest was born) its a great way to keep a memory of someone you treasure alive, i'm with bella on ed snr i'm still not convinced we've seen the last of him and now he has that diagonsis it makes him even more of a threat
Author's Response:
Thanks, Tracy. It was time for some happy instead of all the doom and gloom from before. :)
Date: 22 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 26: Party On!
a great super chapter, it made me laugh alices line et tu bella, also the sentimental six in the bedroom super fluffy, but honestly who dosent want to be spoken to like that by their husband (almost makes me wish i wasn't single but don't think i'd be that lucky) the baby shower was hilarious being english i dont know about them we just dont do that here, did you make those games up? or do you guys play them for real i'm still giggling at the thought of those three handsome men drinking from babies bottles, and yipee bean is about to make an appearance my moneys on boy for rose/emmett girl for bella/edward but its your story and i love it so thanks, cant wait to read your emmett transformation fic
Author's Response:
Ah, the baby shower...they're actually a lot of fun. Lots of baby-themed games (I've played all of the ones mentioned in the story) and silliness. It's usually just women, but I wanted the boys to be there to make it funnier, and they needed to be around when Rose went into labour. The baby bottle game is a blast. Hun, you're preaching to the choir on the being single thing...why do you think I write such awesome men? Because I don't have one of my own. I need to create them. ;)
Date: 22 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 27: IT'S A ---!!!
oh excellent stuff emmett pov is just a blast, they had a girl well i was totally wrong on that front lol and lily is a lovely name, emmett talking to his new daughter was sweet and his reasurances to rose throughout labour and delivery were lovely even if he did need his sister to give him a pep talk to counter the nerves and remind him rose needed him, no more f-bombs rose says i bet that a hard one for him to follow lol and running up the corridor in his bathing suit shouting out the good news funny and classic, i'm still amazed you reply to every review you receive
Author's Response:
I made a commitment to respond to as many reviews as possible and I don't plan on giving that up. You guys are important to me, and I wouldn't want you to ever think I don't appreciate the time you've spent reading and responding to my stories. :) I would love to be a fly on the wall watching Emmett going through all the new daddy stuff he'll get to experience now that Lily is here. ;) He'll be a good daddy.
Date: 23 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 28: Perfect
another super chapter, that i just managed to read and review before i left for work not waiting all day again (only left 10 mins late lol) emmett talking to lily was just lovely, and jasper is thinking of becoming a parent this family is growing and growing quick, poor bella feeling like crap but bed rest is not so bad lots of us have had to put up with it, she has lots of people to rally round and help, and edward undressing her he truly is a devoted husband, loved the bit at the end of course alice would not forgo shopping, she'll just switch to online loved bella words heaven help in deed lol, thanks for another super chapter
Author's Response:
Geez, tracy, how did not respond to this! Sorry!
Thanks for being such a great reviewer. Really. :)
Date: 23 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 29: Hormonal Horrors
great stuff, dear esme i'm sure she dosen't know who to help next, alice is funny "step away from the bella" loved the yoga class conversation why is it pregnancy makes us more than normal horny? how pleased is bella to be able to get some lovin pleased enough to grab edward in the hospital corridor lol and good news about her job she's just going to do it via a web cam, another fab chapter
Author's Response:
I don't think I'm getting all my notifications! It's been almost a month and I haven't responded to this. Gah. Sorry. I guess since you reviewed over on Twilighted that it's not as urgent, but just the same, I'm sorry.
And thanks. :)
Date: 23 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 30: An Expensive Lemon
a super, super chapter, i love the painting of their bodies and photos idea, bella gets her lovin and peanut reacts, not such good news with her blood pressure spiking but its like she said you have to do anything and everything to avoid a premature birth i had like 6 weeks of bed rest when pregnant with my triplets for precautions and yes its a drag when you look forward to a toilet trip just so you can get out of bed, but once again how brilliant is her husband organising the body cast and the photo shoot which sounds beautiful and very intimate bringing everything to her, loving this story,
Author's Response:
Edward is a peach. :) Everyone needs someone like that, to pamper and do sweet things like that.
Sigh...sometimes i feel lonely. ;)
Date: 27 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 31: Fa La La La La
yes, you scared the crap out of me (bad author please dont do that again lol) was not expecting peanut to arrive right after the best xmas ever! you made me giggle with emmett being warned he could be mistaken for a homicidal maniac and rose finding him totaly hot in his santa suit, leah & jakes gift was a very thoughtful present as she has used the music to help her at school and now she is having twins wow, i was wrong i guessed peanut was going to be a girl and wasnt expecting such a traumatic birth with them both in mortal danger i was scared when he said "we're losing them" fine chapter even if you did put my stress level through the roof lol
Author's Response:
LOL! Sorry for scaring the crap out of you...ah hell, who am I kidding...no I'm not. That means I did something right. ;) I mean, I do kind of feel bad, but I'm glad that you got so into it that it took you off guard. The whole first 3/4 of the chapter was a ruse to make you feel complacent and like everything was wonderful and fa la la la la...then BAM! But, Peanut's here! Yay!
Date: 27 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 32: A Peanut By Any Other Name
ok no more heartfail well maybe a little, i'm grateful my system cant do that twice in a row, a super fine chapter, i love the name nathan (my nephew has the same name) although i never knew thats what it meant i cant imagine what distress edward felt when he heard bella flatline and the rest of the family, i'm super pleased she's ok, as victoria helps them realise this is the begining of a drama less life just as they both want well as much as it can be with a baby but you know what i mean her and edwards bonding was precious with the baby, as always loved it super chapter
and anyway what do you mean this wonderful story only has 4 more chapters to go, you mean it dosent go on for ever! lol i appriciate every story has a natural close but i will miss my up dates of this one very much so
Author's Response:
Sorry for all the heartfail, tracey. ;) I'm also sorry that the story is, in fact, nearing its end. I'm not saying it's gone forever, but I'm done with it for now.
Date: 10 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 33: Homeward Bound
what does the spermdoner mean were not finished? cheeky bloody bugger would somebody please push him off a cliff already or dispose of him some other way, another superb chapter (sadly 3 chapters left) now bella is home i'm sure she'll feel better and heal up especially with esme about to help out, glad sophie got to go home with her mum,
ps i looked up encore on ff, and it's a superb read, i have been waiting for it to appear on twilighted, do you know if it will happen any time soon? if not i'm going to have to cave and read the rest on ff even though that site is not my fav, its killing me to see chapter updated and try to ignore thinking it wil be on twilighted soon thanks tracy
Author's Response:
Hi Tracy,
Encore will be up on Twilighted probably in the next few days. It's been in queue for almost three weeks. :( I think a lot of people are moving their stories over there after the recent crap over on FFN, so it's a bit slow. Once AliceDances is allowed to post the first chapter, she will. She's been keeping me updated on the status.
Oh, and Encore was featured on a blog! www.theedgegirls.blogspot.com featured it on Monday!!!
Date: 10 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 34: RUN!
a chapter named run in caps no less had me worried before i even started reading, panic when he popped up in the kitchen and then relief when he began to calm under bellas words and then panic again when he went off again, so thank god he had a lucid moment and they got permission to get the baby out and then severe panic when i read the line esme was bloodied and swollen and bella sobbed no esme no, catching breath untill i read she put her thumb up, a dramatic chapter but at least it brings closure to the whole spermdoner father lurking in the shadows thing, i would think with his very obvious display of severe mental health issues he will be sectioned and kept out of society for as while, cant wait for the last chapter (big sigh) fantasticly well writen chapter thanks tracy
Author's Response:
You make me smile, tracy. :) Thanks for continuously and diligently responding to each chapter. My review counts over here are all because of you. :) Take a bow, chica!!
Date: 10 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 35: Normal
big sigh of relief as this time the chapter name dosen't have me sweating buckets before we start, this whole chapter was sentimental and emotional but in a good way, edward was not in the hospital long and the way you described him and bella reconnecting at home was beautiful not just after the birth of their son but after all that trauma as well they still found the time to desire each other and show their love again, esme is on the mend thank god and i'm sure carlisle is doing a fab job of tending to his wife, and finally they put the whole spermdoner madness to bed with his death and i must say they made a magnanimous decision to bury him as they did but if doing it that way gave them all closure then so be it,
just the epilogue are you sure? lol no sorry i know it reaching its natural conclusion but just to say i have enjoyed reading your story such a lot so thanks leelan
Author's Response:
Aren't you glad that Encore doesn't have chapter titles?! LOL! No more heart attacks when you read the titles.
Date: 10 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 36: Epilogue-Bittersweet Symphony
i think for the first time ever in a review i'm stumped for words, back in 5 you've left nothing outstanding, left no question unanswered, left no part of this most wonderful story untold, i've been left with a nice big satisfied smile on my face (even though its finished) knowing that bella and edward got there in the end, that they have a good happy marriage, the rest of the family are sorted and happy and most importantly everybody has peace and harmony in their lives, thankyou for writing such a wonderful story that really has evoked every emotion going in me at one point or another it been a great ride shall we say
good luck with encore just read your a/n so my other question is answered, (i think) is encore coming here?, ohh yeah yes yipee no waiting for validation cant wait thanks tracy
Author's Response:
Encore will eventually make its way over here. I've got a lot on my plate right now, and I need to get it done, but I'll eventually start posting here. :)

Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - The One That Sings
edward is certainly a conflicted man well vampire but you get my point, i love how this is similar to twilight but different at the same time, so the whole family know about bella being his singer and vow to help even rosalie? fab chapter, reading on
Author's Response:
oh yeah, Edward is conflicted and only gets more so. trust me. LOL very conflicted.
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 - Lunchtime Observations
another fab chapter, bella is active in the church how is that going to conflict with edward view of no soul or is he a little different here? edward is gradually getting used to her scent but is she in a position where she would welcome his friendship? edward is increasingly thinking of her and not a lot else, must read more
Author's Response:
I am hoping byt the end of my fic to save Bella and to convince Edward he's not a monster and has a soul.
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Recon
i agree with edward she is a complicated girl, but that conclusion dosen't stop edward wanting to get close, his compulsion to get to know her is a bit like imprinting, fab chapter
Author's Response:
;) ;) very much like imprinting except stronger and mutual! you're on the right track.
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - If my Heart could Race
hey there, another fine chapter, edward sure has got it bad for bella, i'm thinking that's what alice and jasper refer to alice probably would call it love but edward has not thought of it himself yet, he's just trying to process a lot of emotions that feel odd to him, loved the family meeting that did make me giggle,
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - Breathing her Scent
love the photos great idea, this story is getting more and more intriegueing, i feel compeled to keep reading to answer the questions running about in my head, you write so well you've completly drawn me in, thanks
Author's Response:
you are an incredibly sweet and wonderful reader thanks :) glad you liked the pics, now I have to figure out how to set up some polyvore pics!
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Revelations
super chapter, i wonder what the google search will reveal? if anything, i'm also wondering if she's tried suicide before why does she always cuffs on? edward sure is keeping a close eye on her his resolve to not let her dictate or change his schedule diddn't last long now he's camped outside her house every night and passing up partys,
Author's Response:
Edward might be a tad bit smitten, though he denies it and doesnt get it. clueless vamp ;)
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - Learning More
ohh he's going to meet her, what ever is wrong with bella has been wrong a while is that right? if last xmas going back home was a mistake and the other visits she has made bella had to stay in a hotel, every chapter brings more questions fab stuff moving on
Author's Response:
Well every chapter will continue to brin gmore questions than answers for a while, and yes this all happened a while ago, 2 years in fact. :)
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - So We Meet
their first meeting went well, bella was not so nervous and it was her who initiated the hand contact, i bet it was edward bella spoke about on the porch, why does she believe edward would hate her? now what are we going to do about jessica she's making poor bellas nightmares worse, if edwards scary vampire face dosen't get her to back off let's send in rose cause she really is scary lol, fab stuff
Author's Response:
lo, I have to share that whole Jessica thing was never planned, she literally wrote herself in. LOL so I went iwth it.
Bella assumes that everyone hates her right now, plus when she saw him that first class on Tues he was glaring and she assumed she did something to make him mad.
Rose is scary!!! I wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley! heck or a well lite one!
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 - Working Together
another fine chapter, their lunch meet at the coffee shop was sweet, their all going away for 5 days i wonder if edward will cave and come back early? bella really is being brave she again initiated the contact, this story is cool
Author's Response:
thank you, it was a sweet easy mtg, now will Eddie come home early????
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - Mental Meanderings
another fab chapter they were having fun in denali, edward is all stressed about bella but i doubted he would be anything else, what has caused her to be on the floor? a relapse? must read on i'm invested in this story now and am begining to worry about what happens
Author's Response:
do I apologize that you're invested and worried??? I don't know that I feel bad.
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - A Haunting Past
oh sad, sad, sad poor bella laying on the floor all that time crippled emotionally i dont think it was a rape thats too obvious a conclusion to make and this fic digs so deep into each persons character and explores their thoughts and feelings i think it would be something else i was thinking that for a couple of chapters and this one kinda helps me believe that more, i also think her parents are dead and thats why bella asked for flowers to be given to her mum, and seth says the last trial does that mean their was another at some time? bella is feeling the pull and dear edward feels it in other places and is upset with himself,
Date: 16 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 - Is She at Rock Bottom Yet?
bella is really poorly isnt she? with the chapter title i think probably yes theres only so much our bodies can cope with before it says enough i need a break and bellas has had enough
Date: 17 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 - Meet the Cullen's
you do manage to cram a lot in per chapter, i like that, yeah bella has had the week from hell her birthday being nothing other than a source of misery for her culminating in her collapsing, poor edward couldn't be more disgusted with himself having physical reactions as well as emotional responses to being so close to bella, bellas friendship to the cullens is all baby steps, i'll go read what jasper thinks now thanks
Author's Response:
I manage ro cram a lot in each chatper? Really? hummmmm never thought of it that way. Bella's birthday :( yeah it's not happy memories for her at all. Edward is a roit, I'm sorry but he is so clueless but still so Edward, it is just, yeah I love him. a LOT!!!! Thank you for getting the baby steps. That's what it's all about!!
Date: 17 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - Coming Back from the Dark
i'm so pleased bella is doing better, not completly but more like she was when they met and dear esme i diddn't think she would be able to not help for long, i hope this party is good for bella rather than a source of stress, and did we get a little glimse of the prebroken bella? a girl who's witty and resourceful and sticks to what she says? super chapter
Author's Response:
oh yeah, Bella has a very sassy side that she has repressed for a long time. You'll be catching glimpses of it, more and more!!!
Date: 17 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - Not Her
god i hate that f***ing eric what is wrong with blokes that they think that shit is funny, it is so not, getting arrested is him getting off easy (i can think of a few things) and then we move to edward, was bella that scared of him really? was she shocked thinking he was making a move or something (the eyes wide bit) or is that just how edward sees his behaviour being as he believes himself to be a monster? then he saves her from a traffic accident and that sets a whole new set of problems into the air that truly puts the cullens between a rock and a hard place, tell her v dont tell her either way people are in danger, as i said before ( in fact i hope i did) this story is well written and emotional
Author's Response:
Edward was totally reacting to what her perceived was going on with Bella. Let me put it this way, Bella is in an environment at that party that couldn't be worse, it is already everything she can to to hang on to her sanity, rubbing up against Edward and seeing hunger inhis eyes was NOT a good thing for Bella, then to have him take off scared and hurt her and she doesn't get why. She does not hate him, but Edward thought she did because of course he hates himself!
Yeah Eric's a douche and you will find out later what he wnated to do was WAY worse then anything else he could have done.
Date: 17 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 - Reactions
oh revelations, revelations bella had them sussed and once they began to talk it was easy for her to make the vampire conclusion, but then decisions, decisions whats bella going to do? she obviously stays but will she continue to be friends? i dont think she would talk thats just not who she is, bella is determined to do something that is important to her is it the trial? and thats why she asked if the voltouri could be put off, must read more brill thanks
Author's Response:
you got it all right. Bella is living for these last two trials, that's all she can think about and all she is hanging on for, the Volturi killing her now would kill her, well you get what I mean ;)
She did suss it out pretty fast, Bella's a smart cookie!
Date: 17 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - The Deal
so dear alice is not allowed to search the future anymore where bella is concerned, bella sure wants her secret protected she dosent want the cullens to find out and i can understand that, she did have an extreme panic attack to the knowledge about eric so maybe there is a sexual assault in her past after all, and i'd like to think bella got some measure of comfort from edwards touch at the end there
Author's Response:
Will Alice not seeing Bella's future come back to bite them?!?!?!
you're also exactly right, Bella doesn't want anyone knowing her secrets yet. It's too much for her to handle or deal with.
she got a lot of comfort from Edward, it's confusing her but she definitely found comfort.
Date: 17 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 - Abiding Friend or Soulless Monster
oh catmaster you cheeky author fancy having the handsome edward running all over town commando style **begins daydreaming** what was i doing oh yeah review time, they had a nice lunch together joking around, and did bella drink the coffee edward brought her in class? another nasty panic attack that edward was good at getting bella to calm from, then edward in full on angst mode after he put down the monster at least carlisle can reason with him and he has a big family to help, now what's going to happen when bella comes over? fab stuff thanks
Author's Response:
CONGRATS!!!! On Ff most people couldn't get past the commando bit to leave anything else in their review. It is a beautiful image isn't it, something to reflect on. Ahhh yes give it a moment . . .
Yeah Bella drank the coffee. Edward is getting good at calming her panic attacks, that's a good thing,c ause she has more coming!
What would a story be w/o Edward being emo and blowing things out of proportion and running thinking he's a monster! He needs to do that to be Edward, just be glad I brought him back before he pulled a full New Moon leaving!!!
Date: 17 Feb 2010 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - A Day at the Cullen's
i agree huge chapter i'm not sure where to start, of course bellas not just going to roll up to the cullen house and start chating about her past and what happened to her she's suppressed those memories well tried to for years and she's only known the cullens a short while like you say that stuff takes years with therapy and bellas fighting her demons on her own, it is nice that she can trust edward and the other cullens not to hurt her but thats it for now, bella now has to prepare for homecomming that probably takes a lot of mental energy to get to that mindset, cant wait for more this story is very well laid out and put together, and lastly i diddn't like the spider monkey comment either
Author's Response:
Can I say I <3 you! I can't believe you read the whole thing that fast! Dang!! I'm in awe that you were that interested!!!! You of curse are exactly riht again. She trusts the Cullen's to not hurt her, which is no little trust for her to give, but she can't do more yet. Physically I don't think she could get the story out w/o havinga full panic attack.
HomeComing will be a trial for her but all the Cullen's will be there to help out. Edward will have a harder time then she will in some ways . . .
Date: 02 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22 - Where are we now?
another jampacked chapter, this story is superb, sad but so very well written, ok i might join a edwards is an idiot club but not a bella is pissing me off club she has her reasons for her behaviour and they are solid and valid, edwards reasoning is a bit iffy i mean jasper makes sense when they talk on their run but he can't see it, always the negative, how close are we to dec & the trial? just ignore if answer in the next chapter which i cant wait for, thanks, sorry meant to say yes i did love the mike thing peeing his pants, provokes much more humiliation over a longer time span so therefore a better punishment (should have said before)
ps i like twilighted i am a member and dont find the site a pain like some people are saying i like it and hope you get on ok posting over there
Author's Response:
You are soooo sweet to me. To answer your question next chapter is the Homecoming dance so we are about mid to late October. Between now and the trial there won't be anything major happening. There will be chapters, and they won't all be fluff, there will be action and monor HF but there won't be anything epic. does that help? Well Jasper makes sense because he knows Edward mated, if that darned vamp would get a clue. LOL Trust me he will and hate himself but until then we just want to shack him!!!!!!
Thanks, I hope I get accepted on T'd as well!
Date: 09 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23 - Homecoming
oh the kiss, the perfect kiss, i think edward is begining to cotton on, he is realising that this has significence, and bella allowed the kiss, she enjoyed the kiss? this is huge for bella after all her attempts to shut herself away from the world, to close herself off from everybody in order to survive just for a while, here she is enjoying a dance, enjoying the company of a man, she must be overwhelmed by her positive feelings and not know quite what to do, it's a massive conflict for her when she has been so low for so long, superb chapter but where has bella gone? i'm hoping it's to somewhere close by and edward can find her quickly like the church, bella is such a homebird would she go out at night on her own? i'm not sure? should i be worried? thinking what else to write but i cant cause now i'm worried, please now no more bad for bella
Author's Response:
ooooh thanks. I was so worried, that kiss was sooooo long in coming I didn't know if it would meet expectations so thank you that you think it did! you have no idea how I was worrying!!!
You have Bella's thoughts pretty well pinned down. She is over whelmed and freaking out. Would she go out at night . . . if she had a special spot she might . . .
Be a little consoled I have no plans for anyone to harm Bella . . . yet.
Thanks for the review, here's your tease for next week, I hope it helps! Finally she had finished her nightly rituals and climbed in bed sighing. I listened steadily to her and her heart rate dropped indicating she was asleep quickly. I went to her room and walked to her in wonder. In sleep she looked so much more at peace than she did when awake. The worries of the day no longer causing her jaw to clench. As I looked though the tension was diminished but not gone.
My angel’s brow was not smooth but slightly furrowed. I tried to resist, but I found my fingers reaching out, seemingly of their own accord, to caress her brow hoping to smooth out the tension. I breathed out a breath I hadn’t been aware of holding. As I touched her the connection I felt to this diminutive human girl was again complete. Now my brow furrowed in confusion as to why this human girl affected me so. Slowly the tension seemed to ease from her as I continued to softly caress her.
Date: 23 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
big sigh of relief bella is ok she was gone for 24 hours but she came home safe, poor edward was beside himself with worry and carlisle is asking him to tune in to her emotions and he still does not think of her as his mate, loved the meadow scene i'm pleased edward went for it and knocked on the door, bella had had her time to analize and disect everything from saturday night it was time to talk, i cant believe bella is a murderer she must have been forced to do something, i think hearing about edward past helped bella to think shes not undeserving as she thinks edward deserves a life and yet his past has similar links to hers (the murder thing) they both spoke some truths and drew comfort from being together again, love how bella slept on his shoulder this is probably another first for her, great chapter more please
Date: 30 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25 - Just a Little Bite
oh what a chapter, bella was just ticking along quite nicely she seems to have found a groove with the cullens and had settled into a easy to cope with routine that included all of them, reinforcing the truth of the conversation that bella and edward had before when declarations were made, but the then the accident and things not looking so rosy anymore they are going to leave her??? its only two weeks to the trial, will alice see that if they leave she surely will commit suicide? please you dont mean it surley not, i'm grateful to ginnyw31 for her schooling effots in hea's lol we cant have a dead bella please no!!!! i am reading the outakes and they are cool thanks for a super chapter, more pleasse
Author's Response:
Bella has found a groove with the Cullens, she fits into a piece none of them knew was missing!
will they leave Bella? Alice isn't suppose to look in her future, then again if a vision is super strong she may see it without trying, hard to say what would happen. I've said we are about half way through the story so there is a lot to come, not all good. LOL but really, with how Bella is, do you think the Cullen's would leave her? lte Edward leave her???
I'll pass on to Ginny that you're appreciative of her schooling me on HEA's!!! Glad you're still reading!
Thanks for the review, here is a tease for next week. This is Carlisle and Bella.
I walked slowly towards her, unsure of what her response was going to be. I gestured towards her arm. “Can I see it better now?” Bella held her arm out to me. Her shirt was in the way of some of the cuts. “Bella, can we take your shirt off so I can get a better look at your arm? You’re going to need stitches and I can’t do it with the shirt.” Bella’s already white complexion paled more. “I promise I won’t hurt you or take advantage of you.”
Bella swallowed and her heart raced, she was starting to have a full fledge panic attack. “Ok, never mind. Keep your shirt on. Since it’s already ruined would it be ok if I cut the sleeve to get at what I need?”
Bella’s eyes took a minute to focus on me. I could see she was trying to process what I said but she was so caught in her head she couldn’t make sense of it.
“Breath, Bella, breath. Your shirt stays on. I’ll just cut it. Ok?” Bella nodded with short jerky movements. I gently held her arm as I dug in my bag for a scissors. I cut her sleeve away, tearing open a few cuts that had already started closing. I washed her arm up with a rag I had brought with me when I washed my hands. She slowly composed herself and her breathing evened out.
Date: 06 Apr 2010 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26 - Aftermath
ok i suspose if i was being rational i should know that the cullens would not let edward leave but i was worried for a bit, the jasper thing really dosent bother her is it because she has had a lot worse done to her so even though its vampires to bella its not bad at all? once again bella shows how amazing she is by leaving her doors open and once again trusting, i'm glad they talked about the nightmares and edward knows he is not hurting her one less thing for him to stress about, excellent i love this story
Author's Response:
Bella, is owrried about the others because that's who she is. but also because she's worried that she caused the problem. She knows that Edward is Emo and doesn't want him to fret because she's a klutz. Of course the Cullens wouldn't let him leave. Trhy know how much she needs him!!!! Bella is on the road to becoming more trusting. and you're right, Edward needed to hear she doesn't dream of him hurting her.
Thanks for the review, here's a tease for next week:
“Edward,” she said into the silence.
“Hum?”
“May I ask you something?” I looked down at the top of her head.
“Of course. What’s on your mind?”
“You know homecoming night?”
“Yeah, what about it?”
She took a deep breath. “Well, you kissed me.”
I smiled. “Yeah, I remember that.”
“You haven’t kissed me since.”
“No, but that isn’t a question.” I didn’t want to play games, I wanted to know exactly what was on her mind.
“I was wondering why you haven’t. Kissed me again, that is.”
My body tightened in anticipation. “Do you want me to?”
Date: 14 Apr 2010 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27 - Being Left Alone
oh my another fine chapter, bella asked edward for a kiss which sounded lovely untill his erection freaked her out, so kissing was ok the erection brought up the bad memories and she has some very incorrect ideas about that which i'm assuming is linked to her trauma? my heart breaks for bella, she is so sad again leaving for the trial alone i kinda get why she wants to go alone does she want to be able to tell edward herself and not have him find out via the trial? she still has some negative thoughts about herself and how stuff is her fault, poor edward at the end just on his knees , about the lemon i think it would be nice to have it in showing bella healed enough to be that intimate and trusting with edward would be a nice ending for her, thanks tracy
Author's Response:
Yeah poor Bella. She made a huge step asking for that kiss. To bad Edward is always sporting wood adn she was stratteled on his lap. So yeah, ended badly but not horrid. It was important that Edward plant that seed that he can be with her and be excited sexually and still not harm her and that he could freak her out and still calm her.
Her going to that trial alone. *sigh* It is horrible that she's there alone but she needs to be. She wasn't ready to open up yet and the Cullen's shouldn't find out her history from the newspapers. Plus this time away will make both of them realize what they mean to each other and will let them move forward. That's also important.
I agree with you on the lemons but wanted to check with my readers.
Thank you for the review and here's a tease that should make you happy for in two weeks:
I smiled. I was mated, to Bella. I let the idea sit with me and I felt lighter and happier just thinking of it. I was mated to Bella. The phrase played over and over in my head. The more I thought on it the more obvious it was and I felt like the biggest idiot for not seeing it sooner. Bella was my mate and I loved her. How could I have not seen it? I loved Bella. Now that I considered the idea I wanted to kick myself for not realizing sooner.
Date: 26 Apr 2010 Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 28 - Mated
hey there as always great chapter, dear edward even having the conversation with carlisle he cant quite accept it but he gets there in the end, it's a sad necessary that they are apart as they obviously both feel a void despite the stilted phone conversations,
questions i wouold ask are
edward, you're planing on telling bella you and her are mated, how will you tell her and where?
what life/relationship do you plan on offering bella now you realise you cannot be parted?
how will you deal with bellas issues and her screwed take on relationships due to her history with the increasing intimacy you will face?
thanks tracy
Author's Response:
Tracey those are great questions.
it is sad they're apart and I wish I could say all will be ok, but alas it isn't all ok, but I promise to make the pain quick!! does that help??
Thanks for the review! Here's a tease for next week:
I hadn’t been off the phone with Bella for long when I heard Emmett and Jasper coming up to get me for a hunting trip. I groaned before they made it to my room calling out, “I went hunting with Carlisle yesterday! I don’t need to hunt again.”
“Get up brother! I don’t care if you went hunting. We need manly brother time together. Now that you’re admitting to being mated we need to make sure you’re not going to fuck with our little sister! So get up and get moving!” Emmett bellowed as he plowed into my room.
“Language” Esme called up the stairs.
Emmett smiled. “See, that’s why we need to have this conversation elsewhere. Don’t need to upset the ‘rents.”
I rolled my eyes. “Seriously, Emmett, can’t you say parents, or better yet Esme and Carlisle? Or the best idea, ignore it all and leave me alone!”
Jasper interrupted before Emmett and I bickered and nothing got accomplished. “Just come with us Edward. We want to talk to you about a few things. I promise to keep Emmett in line.” As much as I can. He finished.
Date: 05 May 2010 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29 - Being Away from Her
oh my lord another super chapter, it is so hard to hear poor bella practically break apart at the seams and edward become more frantic as time passes as they are seperated, her breakdown at the hotel, i wanted to cry but she does have people who care about her and they came to help, with her part in the trial done for now she is on her way back to the cullens for some desperatly needed t.l.c, i think the last thing edward will worry about immediatly is what to tell bella she'll be in such a state with the no eating and no sleeping he'll just want her to get a little better before he begins to talk about things he discussed with his brothers, i wont ask for more i'll just patiently wait, as you got so much on my best wishes to your mum for her recovery and your part in that home schooling thats a big undertaking thanks tracy
Author's Response:
Can I say I love you!!! Seriously you see soooooo much in my story!! I have had sooooo many people ask me if next chapter Edward will tell Bella he's matedm but you pickedup that Bella won't mentally be in a place to have that conversation right out of the door! It is coming but it will still be a little bit. Not to long, he will tell her the first chance he relaly can, but a lot will happen beofre then!
If Bella hadn't had close friends that could be there for her on some level, Edward would ahve gone to her. It was hard enough for him to stay back!
Thanks for the review, here's a tease for next chapter. Don't hurt me!
Emmett spoke up. “Will she be ok Carlisle?”
He nodded. “She should be fine. She’s dehydrated, and has lost a lot of weight. From the look of it she hasn’t slept and it looks like her body just gave out. It happens to people that push themselves past the point . . . “
Carlisle cut off when Esme gasped and Rose called out, “What the fuck!”
I had been avoiding the thoughts of the women to give Bella as much privacy as I could, but immediately I saw what they had seen. I shot off the couch yelling. “What kind of sick sadist did that? What happened to her?”
I started pacing and was growling. Jasper put a hand on my arm to calm me. I wrenched away from him. “Leave me alone!”
He didn’t take offense but spoke in a calm voice. “Talk to me brother. What did you see? What happened to Bella? Is she ok?”
I tugged at my hair. “Yes, no, I don’t know. She’s . . . marked.” I couldn’t bring myself to say more.
Emmett came up to me. “What’d you me marked?”
I swallowed and put my hands on my hips trying to get the vision out of my head, but it was burned there and would never leave.
“On her stomach . . . it looks like she was cut with a knife . . . multiple times . . .” I took a deep breath. I couldn’t even say it.
Carlisle spoke. “What else son?”
I looked at him and whispered, “Someone branded the word ‘MINE’ over it.”
