Well this is definitely interesting!  So Edward will meet Bella as the mother of one of his classmates??  That is most definitely a different twist.  Usually I'm not the biggest fan of Bella/Jacob - but this is interesting since you can already see that their relationship is lacking.  Plus the fact that I'm a fan of your writing - so I'd probably read it regardless of who she ends up with.  I am wondering about why Bella didn't go to college.  It just seems like something she thinks about with the way she mentioned her high school friends.  I was thinking surprise/young pregnancy but if my math is right she was 20- so she never went?  I don't know why I am so concerned with it... just weird I guess. Don't mind me.  Great start!  Going to read more...

Ewww!!!  Having someone else use your toothbrush is so gross!! My husband did that to me once...he learned.  LOL.

And yes - 10 is the new 16, actually though I'd even venture to say 6 is the new 16.  It's crazy!  

Glad to see Rose is the same.

Poor Bella - now I do feel bad for her.  Didn't realize small town Forks would be so cliquey.

Oh goodness.  So it begins...  

Jake - ugh.  *rolls eyes* Why is he so distant and uncaring to Bella?  She deserves better - like perhaps one of those beautiful Cullens.  ;)  

 

And I'm not ignoring the QPOV chs - I just don't want to be super annoying by commenting on every chapter.  :)

-Jen



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your reviews. And don't worry you could never be annoying by leaving them. I appreciate hearing what my readers have to say as they go along.

As for the toothbrush, I agree....it's just wrong!

As for Jake and Bella, he loves her, he really does but he has become complacent as most do after 15 plus years together.

Oh wow.  I can't imagine being the unsuspecting mother.  Poor Bella.  



Author's Response:

Thank you for the review. I hope you are enjoying.

Well that was unexpected.  Why would Edward want that job in the first place?  It seemed like he didn't know about Bella's family - which was the reason I was thinking he wanted it.  

Jake is growing on me...a little.  ;)

 

And as for that last sentence....I highly doubt it.



Author's Response:

Edward was just looking for something to do other than school. A break from the mundane of his life. Probably wanted to get away from the couples of his household a bit....oh and of course I needed some way for them to meet. LOL.

Reviewer: jkoch812 Signed
Date: 27 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10

I KNEW Edward would be off brooding about attacking Bella!  I KNEW IT!!!  

Uh - oh that last bit doesn't sound too good...  

I think E/B meeting like that was much more interesting than just seeing each other at school or at a store...  Poor Edward though - I guess there is only so much a '15 year old' can do/get for a part time job.  LOL at the image of him mopping the floors (or whatever the job consisted of) though!!  

 

P.S. - Thanks for replying to my comments and questions!  I love reading and commenting for your stories b/c I know I'll probably hear from you.  I think it makes reading so much more fun - having a link to the author!   I know how time consuming it must be - so I really appreciate it!!!  :)   



Author's Response:

I love responding to reviews. Getting to connect with my readers is such fun!

And of course Edward is brooding...it's Edward. LOL.

 

Thanks for reading.

Oh Sweet Jesus...

Claire???

 

*goes to look at copy of NM (or was it Eclipse?) to check Quil/imprinting facts* - perhaps I should just google it...  :)



Author's Response:

Well it was the original Quil that imprinted with Claire. She was 2 when it happened so she is the appropriate amount older here.

 

As for anyone imprinting on her in this fic...you will have to wait and see!

Jake's losing me again...Going back to Team Edward now.  

 

Bashful Edward...*sighs*

Good thing I don't have anything better (i.e.-more pressing) to do today!  I'm reading the next 5 chapters if I don't do anything else.  Then I'm going to check out the FB page.  Sounds fun!



Author's Response:

Ha ha, sounds good to me. Make sure you say that I sent you over there (My name's Tiffany) That way I can say hi.

 

Yes, people seem to go back and forth with Jake. Poor Jake, but I'm team Edward too. LOL.

Wow - you just keep throwing those curve balls!  I definitely didn't see that coming.  I was waiting for him to take off after Edward and wage war without getting the details.  

Although that appears to still be possible.  

Poor warewolves...always so angry.  :( 



Author's Response:

Nope no war. They are way too out numbered still.

Reviewer: jkoch812 Signed

Ok first - *pouts* stay away from Edward??  Noooo!!!  Hopefully that won't last.

 

And second - EWWWWWWWW!!!!  I mean 10 is much less scandalous than 2 but still... ewwwwwwww!!!!  *shudders*

 

LOL - I kid.  I kid.  ;)  I have full faith that you'll make this not creepy.  :)



Author's Response:

Ha ha. Yes it's only four years and so it's not THAT icky.

Reviewer: jkoch812 Signed
Date: 27 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Ok- I didn't realize he's only 14.  See? Not creepy now.  :) 

Oh goodness - is someone going to find that lingerie and get suspicious?  Now I'm nervous!



Author's Response:

Ha ha, I should have had Quil find the lingerie...that would have been hillarious.

Reviewer: jkoch812 Signed
Date: 29 Mar 2010 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Oh wow - just when I was starting to like and feel a little pity for Jake again...  

Once again, I was NOT expecting that!  Is it terrible to say that at least now he's out of the way?  Because that was my second thought (after OMG!) when I finished reading.  I'm sorry but I'm with Canon Bella - "It's always been Edward".  I (sometimes) like Jake but every time it comes down to a choice or a triangle...it's going to be Edward.  

I will say that I am slightly sad b/c this will be hard on Bella and family.   I wonder how Edward will play into it all now.  B/c I know Quil isn't going to want him anywhere near Bella.  And knowing Bella - she'll find a way to make this her fault.

Can't wait for the next update!

Hope you enjoy Hawaii!



Author's Response:

I'm team Edward too. Sorry I missed this review somehow.

 

And yes it's sad but It's always been Edward for me too. : )

Thank you so much for your review. And yes, I agree, I have nothing against canon Jake, but it's always been Edward for me too. LOL.

 

You may be surprised on how they react, but maybe not! I will post a teaser on FFA if you are interested.

Loved it!  Glad to hear her reasoning.  Quil definitely has gone off the deep end.  Love Edward - he is kind of acting like a 17 year old with a crush...not quite understanding what she's going through.  



Author's Response:

Thank you. I try to keep all the characters in their proper age ranges with personalities, glad to see it coming through.

Date: 23 Apr 2010 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23

I really liked this chapter! You are making me miss Jake.  But then again as soon as Edward comes back into the picture - I'm over it.  :)  Loved last chapter too!  Work has been HELL for the last two weeks so after I read in a hurry thinking I'd come back to comment...it didn't happen.  Go figure.  

I KNEW you had to be purposely leaving the fact that Claire's boyfriend (can't remember his name) hadn't imprinted on her out for a reason!

Hopefully Quil can find a civil way to work things out with Bella or vise versa. I just can't tell you how much I love Edward meeting (and courting??) a 35 yr old Bella.  

You're on twitter?  I guess I might as well stalk you there too.  LOL!!  I just set up an acct earlier this week - twitter scares me!  Which is why I'm just now joining the 21st century.  FYI - I'm @rubyrandom (which is also my ff.n name - are you there too?)  I can get to ff.n from work - not so much with this site.  



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your review. I'm glad you were sad about Jake even if it was for a little bit, it means I am doing my job.

I just added you on Twitter as well. I am on FF (Readingmama) as well but I've pretty much moved all my stories over here, except my first two and an interactive drabble one.

Squeeee!!!  They're dating!!! 

Loved how she stood up to Rose - I guess being 35 as opposed to 17 helps you to stand your ground a little more.

Also loved how you took me back to the first time I read Twilight with your description of his lightly colored clothing (something the movie was extremely lacking in  - liked the pea coat, but that was about it).  And then how you described his vampire speed...I daresay you did a better job with that than SM.  I could actually picture it and imagine how strange/uncomfortable that would be at first.  

Awesome chapter!!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much. That was one thing that I found lacking in the movie as well. The only time I thought Edward was dressed like he was in the book was in Alice's vision in New Moon. And dare I say, I though that is where he looked the best!

Wow it is sad to me that 16 yr old Quil is getting more action than his 35 yr old mother with a 17 yr old boyfriend.  LOL  Which speaking of - after 28 chapters it is still weird to me to try to think as Bella as the mother of a teenager!  

Hmmmm... Things aren't looking so good for Bella and the Cullens.  Looks like all hell is about to break loose - and I am super excited to see how it all goes down!

An EPOV teaser!!  Sweet!

Oh crap!  Not how I expected that to go down...it was much, much better!  Can't wait to see what happens now!!  

 

Didn't realize you were so close to the end.  :(  Do you have any new stories/ideas in the works?

Author's Response:

Thanks so much. I will send the EPOV in a DM.

 

I do have another story that is four chapters and completed that I wrote for a fic exchange, I will begin posting that on June 1st and then I also have another short story that I started that I also expect to be about four chapters that I will post hopefully soon after Gloaming finishes.

18 chapters?!?  Wow - so I guess a lot is going to be happening in the next few chapters!  Awesome.  And WOW - my heart actually hurt a few times reading this chapter!  I can't believe he knew the whole time!  Seeing how upset C got at the thought of B/E sleeping together - makes me really glad they didn't (even if I kind of wanted them to at the time...).  I'm sure he probably always had a complex about Bella being with someone closer to her own age - if not, he probably does now! Maybe this is something he will be able to get over as he has more time to think about why she did it.  Poor Edward.  Hope he's found soon.  Can't wait for more!

Oh wow!!  Great story!  Great Chapter!!  I thought for sure that someone saw them in her front yard or on the porch.  The pictures are going to be much more difficult to explain.  My vote is for her to 'change' and just run away with them to start over in a new life... :)  But I suppose that wouldn't make for a very dramatic story.  I can't wait to see what you have planned!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reading. I was going to continue this one but then couldn't come up with a plot that woudl be exciting and not cliche so I'm afraid that it will be left as a one shot.

Okay - I'm just repeating what everyone else said but I loved this!  It made me smile AND tear up at the same time!  You are such a wonderful writer.  Sometimes reading stories that go back and forth on 1st person POVs gets old.  It seems to flow much better this way.  Not to say I don't like 1st person too but your writing style in this story is refreshing.  I didn't read the story info right and went in thinking it wasn't complete. So I was bumming out half way through thinking I'd have to wait for updates on this heartwarming story. This is probably the first time I've ever been happy that a story wasn't multiple chapters!    Anyway - loved it!  I'm definitely going to be checking out your others when I have time to enjoy them!  



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed my one shot. It's refreshing for me to have people happy with it being complete and not asking for more.

 

I hope you will enjoy my other stories as well and look forward to your comments on them as well.
