I'm really enjoying this story. It is so different from anything I have ever read. I'm hoping Edward and Bella will be meeting soon. Looking forward
to reading more.

Edward and Bella will meet in Chapter 9. : )

I guess Bella and Leah are friends? I never liked her much in Twilight but I guess she would be different here since she's not the girl wolf. I'm liking Quil. It's just so different hearing the wolf part through him because it's always through Jacob. I kind of like that Jake isn't a wolf in this story. BTW thanks for the quick update. I'm looking forward to reading more soon.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thanks, and yes, Leah and Bella are friends. Leah wouldn't have turned all bitter if Sam had never left her, so it's nice to see that side fo her. I think.

I really do enjoy reading the QPOV. Now I'm wondering if he's going to imprint on Claire. I like a man that can admit to watching a soap. I love The Young and the Restless but I have to say that General Hospital is my favorite. Thanks for the updates. Can't wait to read more. I love everything you have written so far.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I know the wolves aren't always everyones favorite so I am glad that I can make them interesting.

Poor Bella being attacked by her own son. This is definitely an interesting turn of events. Why is Jake never there?I'm really starting to get curious as to what is happening with him. I wonder how Edward is going to react to Bella being attacked. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Jake is trying to feel important by dealing in wolf things. Don't worry, this will be a bit of a wake up call for him.

Poor Bella. I imagine it has to be hard for her to have a son who is a wolf and to have this weird friendship developing with a vampire. Talk about a complicated life. So the first of the pack imprinted on a ten year old? I can't wait for the rest of the pack to imprint. Amazing writing like always.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reading. I can't say at this point if any more of the pack will imprint. ; )

Sorry for your loss. I hope you can still have a nice vacation.
I'm glad Jake is trying to do something nice for Bella, but I have to wonder if the damage to their relationship is already done. I really want to know what happens now that Quil knows she is still having contact with Edward. I imagine that is a conversation Bella never wanted to have. Can't wait for more.

Author's Response:

Well things will be heating up in the next chapter. I don't believe Jake and Bella's relationship at this point is doomed, but there will be something that happens to make it so. Just can't tell you what.

I'm so glad you are back. Hope you had a great vacation. Thanks for updating so quickly after just getting home. You are definitely the best. This chapter was so intense. I feel so bad for Quil even after what happened with Jake. So many changes have occured in his life in such a short time and he is still so young. I imagine it has to be extremely hard for him no matter how much he puts up a brave front. I can't wait to find out what is going on with Bella. I'm really interested in seeing what led her to make that choice. Definitely looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it. There is lots going on with Quil, I feel like I am beating on him a bit but thems the breaks. LOL

Poor Quil. It seems like eveything in his life is difficult. Poor kid can't seem to catch a break. He did just imprint on the girl his friend is dating, right? I'm glad he told his sister the truth. She deserved to know even at such a young age.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you. Yes he imrpinted on his friend's girlfriend. Lots of people over on FF thought that Christopher had already imprinted on her but he hadn't.

I'm glad things are starting to look up for Quil. Christopher took the news of the imprinting better than I thought. I guess he truly is a good friend. I really hope that Quil will be able to work things out with Bella. Great chapter like always. Hope to read more soon.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

I think more that Christopher knew he couldn't win so he bowed out with dignity. I don't think it was out of friendship.

I can't make up my mind about Quil. At times I want to kick his ass for how he speaks to his mother, but other times I understand his concerns about her relationship with Edward. For some reason I had forgotten about Rebecca. Isn't she only ten? This definitely affects her if Bella chooses to be with Edward forever. Although it's not like she is a typical ten year old when she has a brother and a soul mate who are wolves. I'm so interested to see how all this will play out.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Yes Rebecca is only 10 and that will effect things for Bella, for sure.

I hope that Quil can work things out with Bella regardless of what choice she makes. I'm glad Claire took things well. Atleast something in Quil's life is ok. Great chapter like always. Can't wait for more.

Elli :)

I'm anxious to see what will happen between the wolves and the vampires. I keep wondering if there will be a fight or if it will be something more peaceful. I can't wait to see what you write. I'm sure it will be something great. Looking forward to reading more soon.
I'm curious, is the story near the end? I was just thinking about this so I thought I would ask.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

We are getting closer to the end, I think we will have about thirty four chapters and two epilogues.

I loved this. It was definitely a great chapter. It's sad that one of the wolves had to die in order for Quil to realize that fighting wasn't going to change the fact that Bella had already been bitten. I'm glad Quil realized that the Cullens meant them no harm. If only he had actually taken the time to speak to them the outcome might have been different. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I actually had a different wolf die in my outline but I couldn't do it in the end.

I can't believe so much time passed. I cried at the beginning of this chapter when Quil was looking for his mom. That was just sad. I never cry when I read. I guess I can't say that anymore. LoL. The fact that you could make me cry speaks volumes about your talent as a writer. I think that first scene just reminded me of how hard it has to have been for Quil. He underwent so many changes in such a short time and suffered so much loss that I actually felt his pain. I hope Rebecca and John do find Bella. Hopefully Quil will get to see her again. I can't wait to read the epi's, although it makes me sad to see the ending.
Love that you made yourself a wolf in the story. Do you end up with your hubby? I think I remember you saying once that you named one of the wolves after him. Could be wrong and it's after 3 in the morning so I'm too lazy to check. If I'm right, I think that's cute and if I'm wrong, sorry I'll try to pay more attention next time. LoL.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Yes, my hubby's name is Chris, so yes, I wrote myself in as his imprint. Tee hee.

Perfect. Wonderful. I don't know what other words I could use to describe the ending. I'm so sad to see the story end, but I absolutely loved every minute of it. You already know I think you are a fantastic writer and I look forward to reading more of your work soon.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much, your kind words mean so much to me.

I loved this outtake. I remember that I told you how much I loved that he marked her. It was great, I think you did an awesome job with the EPOV.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thanks. The EPOV's were a lot of fun for me. I like writing the boys better than the girls...go figure!

I like how you alternate POV. I like that even if you are going through the same day it doesn't necessarily say the same things. I'm really enjoying this so far.

I absolutely loved this story. It is one of the sweetest things that I have ever read. I actually cared what happened with these characters in the end. That doesn't happen often when reading a one shot.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I am so glad you enjoyed.

I don't hate you for Bella's answer. She really doesn't seem like the impulsive type so I was actually surprised when she wanted him to ask again. I'm so glad you wrote that Edward was acting like a girl because the entire time I was reading that is exactly what I was thinking. LoL. I thought it was funny that he was even thinking up a dog name. Great chapter. Looking forward to the next.

Elli :)

Hey, just stopping by to show you and your story some love. You already know that I think it's awesome.

Elli :)

I love it. You're right about it being like a different chapter. It's amazing what a few changes make. I'd like to think I caught all the changes, but it's been a while since I had read it and I might not be as observant as I thought. LoL.

Love the James POV. I like that you are giving us a chance to look into his sick mind. I hate that he saw Edward, but only because my instinct is to want Edward to be protected. However, I think the fact that he saw Edward makes it even more interesting. This only proves the story is about to get even better.

Elli :)

This was really good. I definitely noticed the changes here. I can't wait to see what happens with the gala and the party. Can't stand Tanya. I think I've only ever read one story where I didn't dislike her.

I love that you gave us a Rosalie POV. I wasn't expecting that. I can't wait to read about the
party and the gala. I'm glad you are going to do both POV. I can't wait to see how that is going to play out with the changes. Thanks for the update. Can't wait for more.
Elli :)

I thought this story was great before, but somehow you keep making it even better. Please don't take long to update. I can't wait to find out what is going on with Bella.
Elli :)

I love that Edward sounded disappointed that she didn't kill James. LoL. I was kinda hoping that Edward would find out who they are trying to bust. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Elli :)

I definitely did not see that coming. I get that Edward doesn't want to talk about Tanya, but how could he take Bella there and not tell her that his ex lived there? That was just wrong. How is Bella supposed to tell him the truth now when he was involved with Aro's niece for so many years? I don't want Bella to doubt Edward, but I think it's going to be hard. When someone is as powerful as Aro people always know. How could Edward not know? Shit... I'm doubting Edward. LoL. I hope you update soon. I really want to know what is going to happen now. I don't think you should Aro's POV. Atleast not yet. He should still have some sort of mystery around him. Elli :)

Author's Response: Thanks Elli for your awesome review. I'm writing the chapter now and I promise you things will be explained, and why Edward didn't mention Tanya..you know our girl Bella is going to get on him for that...first, she has to get out of The Volturi Mansion. ~Korry~

Great chapter. I'm glad Edward knows the truth and was able to connect the dots. Can't wait for more. I really don't care how long the chapters are as long as you update quickly. Hope you update soon. Elli :)

Loved the chapter. I guess it was time to say bye to James. He had served his purpose. Aro is apparently even crazier than I thought. Can't wait for more. Hope it comes quickly like this chapter.

You are definitely the best for giving us another update. Now I'm really going to sound greedy because I so want the next chapter. I'm hoping it's coming soon. So..... Aro is dead. That's what he gets for doing his own dirty work. LoL. I like that Bella hit Tanya but I was kind of hoping she would get killed off. You know maybe get caught in the crossfire. I think that would of worked. LoL. I hope Edward is ok. I'm thinking he just earned himself major points with Charlie for trying to save Bella. Looking forward to the next.
Elli :)

Great chapter. I'm glad Bella and Rose talked. Atleast now Bella knows what is going on in Seattle. I love Edward and Bella together and I thought it was cute that she got jealous of the girls. Looking forward to the next. Can't wait.
Elli :)

I loved it. I thought it was fitting that he proposed in the place he first saw her and fell in love with her. It's sad to see the story coming to an end,but I definitely enjoyed every minute of it.
Elli :)

Author's Response: Thank you, hun. Your support of this story has meant so much to me. I am so thrilled that the ending of this story has gotten such a warm response. It's sad to see this story end, but I'm also happy how it's turned out. Thank you for your amazing reviews as always

I didn't know you had continued this. I feel like such an idiot for not saving the story, but I thought it was only a one shot. I got so excited when I found this today by accident :) I love that Edward is still geeky and I so enjoy his inner monologue. Looking forward to reading more.

Elli :)

Great chapter. I love that Edward isn't going to let himself be bullied anymore and the fact that he helped Em and Rose shows what a great guy he is.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

thank you for reading & reviewing!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Hope to have another one out soon.  :-)

I'm so behind on my reading that I just got around to reading this. Carlisle is hilarious. I love seeing that he has that reaction to Edward being with Bella. Did he think Edward couldn't get himself a girl or something? I'm not sure how I feel about Leah telling Edward what happened with Jacob. She's putting him in a very difficult situation and I don't like the idea of him not telling Bella. I understand that it's not his secret to tell, but his relationship with Bella is new and I don't like the idea of there being secrets. I guess we will have to wait and see what Edward decides to do. Can't wait to find out.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading & reviewing!  I'm glad you think Carlisle is funny...not everyone does.  I will explain his behavior in future chapters.  :-)  As for Edward and the secret, sit tight.  We'll see how things go.  Thanks again!  :-)

Loved this chapter. That ending was just hilarious. I hope you update soon cause I can't wait to see what happens after that reaction. I love geeky Edward. I think it's so cute that he does research for everything. I really enjoy when you mention Carlisle. I think he's funny. Can't wait for the next one.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed the chapter.  LOL...I think I went a little nuts with the references, but I'm glad you thought the chapter was good.  Thanks again :-)

Loved it. Okay... So I thought it was too soon for a baby, but I felt really bad for them because they were both so disappointed. It could always be that the test was wrong, but since I don't know where you are taking the story I won't speculate too much. About the annulment, my guess would be that she did know she could get one but chose to give the marriage a try. Edward just assumed that she didn't know because she never mentioned it. Okay.... so the quote in this chapter I'm not too sure about. The only one that I can see is from Eclipse: "I promise to love you every moment of forever." That is the only one that pops out at me, if there is another one I can't see it. Definitely looking forward to the next chapter. Can't wait.
Elli :)

I like that Edward knows that she could have left him if she wanted. The fact that she stayed says a lot about how she feels about him. Okay, so I'm really starting to think that her test was wrong and she really is pregnant. She seems to have the symptoms. What is up with Edward? Is it about the baby? Are we going to find out soon. Can't wait.
The quote in this chapter is from Hot n Cold by Katy Perry; "You change your mind like Alice (a girl) changes clothes"
Elli :)

I loved this chapter. I'm actually glad she is pregnant. I thought it was still too early in their relationship considering they didn't even date, but they are happy so all is good. I guess when you know if it's the person for you it doesn't matter how long you date. I met my hubby when I was sixteen and he was almost twenty and he always says that if it had been legal he would have married me that same day. LoL. I guess we will have to wait and see how Edward and Bella's relationship goes from here. I never had any strange cravings when I was pregnant, but I did get hungry in the middle of the night a lot. My poor hubby would always have to go buy me something because I never wanted anything we had at home. He was great about it.

They really do need to watch it with the bad words. Trust me, I speak from experience. My hubby is very bad about controlling his mouth and lets just say our parents were not amused when my son was only one and would say "fuck" all the time. My hubby thought cursing in a different language would stop the kid from saying it and that didn't work either because the kid still picked it up. My son who is now eleven can curse in english, spanish, and italian all thanks to the hubby. At least the kid can control himself and doesn't do it often.

I laughed when I saw the quote you used for this chapter because we were watching that movie last night so it was fresh in my mind. The quote is from Sorority Boys: "My name is Emmett (Roberta), and I'm addicted to porn and I mastubate constantly."

Bella is a much nicer person than I am because I don't think I could have forgiven Edward so quickly, maybe never. As much as I like the new Edward, I wanted to kick his ass when she had the flashback. Apparently I'm a little vindictive. LoL. I kind of think he's getting off easy. It makes me wonder if Bella is just saying that she forgives him because she doesn't want to dwell on it. I know the saying is forgive and forget, but I don't think people forget. My thinking is that Bella still has a lot to work through, but then again I don't know what you have planned. I'm actually very interested to see where you are taking the story.
The quote in this chapter is from Remember Me: "Ghandi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it."
BTW, I feel a little cheated because I got the quote right in the last chapter and I didn't get a preview. LoL.

I love the new banner. It's great.
Great chapter. Loved it. I think Edward needs to realize that Bella might be bitchy her entire pregnancy. She's allowed to be moody, he is not. LoL. It kind of seems like he reverts to his old self when he snaps at her. What's up with Renee? Is she really sorry for what she did? I'm not sure I believe her, but I guess time will tell. Can't wait for more.

The quote is from Twilight: "It's okay, Bella (Jasper). You won't hurt her."

Elli :)

Great update. The whole getting ready for breastfeeding thing was just hilarious. I loved how eager Edward was to help her. I had flashbacks of when I breastfed my son and my hubby decided to announce, in front of our parents, that he was so jealous of our son while he was being fed. That was not one of his finer moments. He's lucky our parents are pretty laid back and just laughed. I was so embarrassed, but it didn't phase him at all.

I can't wait to see what happens when Renee comes for a visit. I wonder what was up with the dream at the end. Bella isn't going to lose the baby, right? Definitely looking forward to reading more.

The quote is from Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason: "Why are you dancing around in that tent business?" "Because I don't want you to see any of my wobbly bits."

Elli :)

Okay, so I started reading the next chapter and I was confused. Turns out I never read this chapter so I had to come back. Don't know how I missed this update. I'll leave my review with the next chapter.

Nice chapter :) The picture hunt was cute. I can see why you said you had a lot of fun writing this chapter.
The quote in this chapter is from Sweet Home Alabama: "You're just shittin' me, right?" "I never fully understood that expression, but no, I'm not 'shitting' you,"

He has a crush on Rosalie? I didn't see that one coming. I like that Carlisle isn't their dad.
Elli :)

Took him long enough. Edward was so slow realizing his feelings. I loved the last line. I wasn't expecting that.
Elli :)

So glad he finally asked her out. Jack is adorable. Looking forward to the next update.
Elli :)

Thank you so much for your review! The Monday teases are up on the Blog (kitsushel.blogspot.com) as we speak, so check them out if you'd like! I have it on good authority that it's a *squeal*-worthy one!

Loved the date and the kiss. Can't wait for the next update.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your review! The next chapter should be up sometime tomorrow (well, later today, lol). It's a bit shorter than normal, but on the plus side, you'll be getting a full chapter again on Friday. Oh, and have you checked out the Blog teasers yet? There is doozy of a one up there this week! Plus the one for Chapter 22 will go up Wednesday night. (kitsushel.blogspot.com)

I loved the chapter. I suspected maybe someone was adopted in the Cullen family after reading the teaser on FB, but I was not expecting that. I guess it's easy to see now why Esme and Carlisle have been so nice to Bella. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your review! Just in case you're unaware, the story updates every Friday and I post teasers on Mondays; the latest teases are up on the Parachute Blog as we speak!

Loved it. I can see why Jasper was upset, but I think he was able to see that the Cullens are nice people. However, with a situation like this you can't be too trusting. I think it's cute that Edward was jealous. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Elli :)
