Yes, the outcome of the chase was desirable for both of them. lol! I'll really try to update soon. *crosses fingers*

Yes, I needed this chapter to explain how Edward found out she was in the mob. Glad you liked it. Thanks! =)

Thank you. =)

Thank you! I thought it was cute..See you soon Happy New Year

they are..they dont want to be seperated..i love that about them!

Damn pregnancy hormones, if thats the problem...we shall see

Hi Again~

Well, what did you all think of seeing Edward and Emma together? Pretty cute wasn't he? And Jack, too. I know I've had A LOT of questions about Isabella and Edward having a baby. I won't answer that with a yes or no, but to clear one thing up...there is no medical reason why Edward can't have a baby. The rest, we'll just have to see how it plays out.

I am so looking forward to Sunday to see what you all have to say about the next chapter. I'll remind you again, be sure you have tissues handy and keep chanting, 'Must have faith' over and over again, okay. HEA...don't forget that.

Don't forget to sign up on the discussion board if you haven't already...and I know most of you haven't! We'll be posting lots of information on there and it's a place where you can ask me any questions you might have about TGG, TPWC...or anything else. Also, be sure to check out the story rec thread and leave your favorites there. I'm always looking for new things to read, and I'm sure lots of you are, too.

I know right, edward is such a douche, but he's dead serious. He means business when it comes to what he wants. thank you for reading sweets

thanks!

Yes, it's finally time for vampire Bella to make her appearance. And yeah, Edward was feeling the pain of her transformation. As for a time jump, we'll start to see them with Edward's next chapter. Time between them won't be quite as synchronized as it has been so far but they'll catch up to each other soon. Thanks for the review. I love hearing what you think. Much love to you - D

Until next time...let's take a peek at what Edward and Carlisle have been up to:

Henry was regretting his decision to talk to me so I quickly continued, keeping the smile on my face to keep him from feeling guilty.

"One word of advice from someone who's been there before. Whatever you do, do not let them know that you think they've gone crazy." I chuckled. "We'll keep that between you and me. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy this time while it lasts. Oh and one more thing, make sure you learn what my father used to call 'the three magic words.'"

I stopped walking and held his shoulder, staring at him as if this was of some great importance.

"You must learn to say 'yes my dear' and leave it at that."

That had him laughing again. "I think your father was a smart man, Edward."

"Yes he was," I said, remembering the great man my father was.

Henry and I spoke of safer topics as he finished his route for the day. It was a great morning and after we had said our goodbyes, I realized that Carlisle's shift was scheduled to end at least an hour ago and he should have found me by now. As I made my way to the hospital to find him, I caught his frantic thoughts.

Please let her live. Please let her live. She can't die, not like this. This can't happen. I won't let it happen.

I'm glad you liked it. It was definitely time to move the story along and bring mamma Cullen into the mix. She's going to make them a real family. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

Until next time...let's take a peek at the next chapter which will be posted soon:

I gripped my head harder, heard a crack and screamed in pain. Fingers clamped around my wrists, pulling my hands away. Struggling against the hold, my eyes finally opened. The blond man was standing over me and the instant his face came into view, my vision clouded red.

Using his grip on me, I pulled an arm closer and bit his wrist. My teeth nearly met before he ripped his hand from me. He stumbled back and I lunged for him. My body crashed into his and knocked him through a tree.

We tumbled to the ground, rolling until I had the advantage. The thunderous cracking sounds meant nothing to me as I slammed my fists into his chest.

"Murderer!" I shrieked. "You killed them!"

His hand came up to block my assault but I couldn't stop. I wouldn't stop. He killed them and I wanted him dead. His howls of pain were like music to my ears and I swung faster and harder, hitting him with everything I had.

As my hand came down again, he caught my left wrist before I could hit him. Out of reflex, my right hand punched his arm to get myself free. I froze when his arm broke at the elbow and flew towards the trees.

"Oh God!" I screamed. "What are you?"

Once Edward finds out that Bella is gone, he'll move on to live by himself for a while but don't worry though, he won't be alone for too long. Well, too long in the life of a vampire, that is. LOL. Thanks for the review, darlin. Love you tons - D

Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter:

With a devilish smile on his face, he whispered, "Are you ready for more, my dark angel?"

Just as I was about to answer, his eyes widened and his hand flew to my mouth. My normal reaction would have been to struggle against his hand but the worried look on his face stilled me. He took a deep breath, tasting the air but when I tried to do the same, all I could smell was the scent of his skin.

His arms wrapped tightly around me. "Leave now." His whispered warning was just for me.

I tried to pull away but he gripped me tighter.

"Use the rooftops and run for the trees."

Sensing his sudden fear, I held onto him just as tight. "What is it?"

He loosed his grip and took one step back. One hand touched my cheek and his eyes bore intently into mine.

"Please, Bella, just go," he urged. "Now."

"But what about..."

He cut me off, knowing what I was about to ask. "I'll join you soon. I swear it. But you must go now." His eyes glanced over my shoulder toward the main street before meeting mine again. "You have only seconds, please go."

Yeah...Edward should have definitely chosen his words better. Bella's definitely not going to be happy. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love to you - D

Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter, which will be up later today:

"I could have done it, Angel, but I was afraid of what would happen when you began aging and I didn't. There was no way to explain it to you without telling you the truth and doing so would have ensured your death." A horrified expression crept across his face. "You mocked me before but I was afraid of the Italians, Bella. They're vicious men and I was terrified of what they would do to you if they found out you knew our secret."

"But you could have changed me, Edward. We would have been safe."

"I couldn't ask you to give up..."

I was in front of him in a flash with a hand covering his mouth. Our eyes locked and his face blurred as the venom filled my eyes.

With more emotion than I thought myself capable of, I whispered, "I gave my life to you when you were alive." My hand slid to his cheek. "What made you think I wouldn't have given you forever if you asked for it?"

Slowly, his hand covered mine.

"I wanted that," he whispered back. "I wanted you...so much that I couldn't stay away any longer. But when I came back you were gone."

It's gonna take some time and a lot of love from Edward to help Bella get over all the pain she's been feeling for the past fourteen years. Have faith. He'll do his best to bring his girl back. Thanks for the review. I really, really appreciate it. Much love - D

Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter, which will be up later today:

A growl rumbled deep in my chest as Edward's scent pulled me from my thoughts. Turning my back to the shed, I scanned the darkness. I couldn't see him but I knew he was close.

"Don't take another step, Edward," I warned, knowing he could hear me.

I heard his footsteps come to a halt as silence hung in the air. A few minutes passed as I searched the area around me. He was nowhere to be seen but I could feel him out there.

"Please let me help, Bella." His voice sliced through the darkness.

"I don't need your help."

"Don't shut me out, Angel."

My eyes closed for a split second as the old name brought more memories of our lives together.

"I watched my father die, Bella," he continued. "I know how you feel."

"How long have you known, Edward?" I hissed, ignoring his last comment. "How long did you watch my father suffer before you came to find me?"

Yes they have many issues to work through but they're doing it together now. No matter how much they fight and argue, they always come back to each other so they can find their center again. Something they can only do together. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

Until next time...here's a peek at Edward's next chapter:

Picking myself up off the floor, I took another steadying breath before rushing downstairs. Bella's quiet sobs hit me as I opened the back door and I was kneeling at her side in an instant.

"Bella," I whispered.

She was so lost in her grief she actually jumped when I touched her shoulder. Her face was marred by sorrow and I couldn't stop myself from pulling her into my arms. Her body molded to mine as she buried her head in my shoulder and cried.

Running my hands through her hair, I whispered soft, soothing words, hoping to settle her tears. I didn't know how much time had passed before she calmed, nothing left but tiny whimpers of grief. She was so still, had she been human, I would have believed she'd cried herself asleep. Though, just as the thought passed through my mind, she spoke.

"Please, Edward."

If I wasn't so focused on her, I would have missed it, but I didn't. I heard those two devastatingly heartbroken words loud and clear.

"Anything for you, my love," I whispered as I dipped my head to kiss her temple.

Sorry my response is so late, but I just wanted to personally take time out to thank you for reading and reviewing my story! Hope you will continue to read!

Krazi
