Thanks for the update!! Great chapter! OOoo CHarlie! Now that is a twist!

Author's Response:

Thanks for sticking around!  And for reviewing.

Next chapter we find out more about Charlie.

Keep writing - loving it so far...

Author's Response:

Im so glad :)  I hope you continue liking it.  Keep reading ....

Right now I'm thinking she hallucinated Edward and it was another vampire attack.  I NEED to believe this!

Author's Response:

ohhh interesting theory.... keep reading.

Thanks for reviewing, I love "watching" you react to the chapters :)

Did Victoria attack?  Is Charlie a vampire now?  These are the thoughts running through my head!

Author's Response:

Well I'm thinking you will just need to wait and see... I promise you will find out in the next chapter.  ;p

LOL Sorry couldn't resist it.  Thanks for reviewing, I do appreciate it.

OMG I'm so happy you've updated! I've been waiting for this story, and now a new chapter is here! Yay! :D

Wow! The beginning was so amazing! That passage from Eclipse fit so perfectly! Angela is so sweet! And Jake, I'm glad they all can get over their prejudices against each other and be there for Bella; that he can respect her dicision to stay with the Cullens!

“And don’t let the bugs bite.  If they bite, squeeze them tight and they won’t bite another night,” Wow, Emmett is hilarious! Lmao! I've never heard that last part before, but that's really cute! :P

It's good Bella decided to take the semster off. She needs the extra time with her new family, to readjust into being a part of the Cullen family. Then, she gets to go to college with them all! Lol! Yay!

Aw, the cacti are so sweet! It's such a great idea, and Bella can have something to remind her of her mother! Go Esme!

And her birthday! She's now 20, the same age as Emmett and Jasper! Lol! Sorry Emmett, she's not (really) you're little sister anymore! :P

Why is it that whenever she has a birthday around the Cullens, something bad happens? This would be the second time; te first with Jasper, and now this. Charlie's back, and with Victoria. Yup, figured that was the case. :( Poor Bella. This is not good at all. Edward's such a sweetheart, being so romantic, and of course, something has to go wrong. Ugh. :P

“Bella no!  Stay still!  It’s not what you think ….” I'm thinking Charlie is now a vampire, and Bella's thinking he's still human and she can save him from that fate. Oh, this is so not good. Bella's not going to like this, I just hope seh doesn't try to do anythng stupid and listens to what Edward tells her to do. I hope! :)

I love this story! And I'm so glad you're back to writing it! Please, update again really soon! :D

Author's Response:

Thanks for not giving up on me Chellie!  I'm so glad you stuck around.

I'm glad you felt the page from Eclipse fit in.  I had been struggling with how to move on and then it hit me, SM did it perfectly so I stole it from her :)

Jake really has grown up eh?  It's amazing what true love can do to someone.  I always felt he had the potential in the Twilight books to grow and be a great friend, I just wanted to give him that chance.

The bed bugs song is one my dad used to sing every night when I was little :)

Thanks so much for taking the time out to review, I do appreciate it.  Next chapter will be up soon.  I promise.  And we will find out more about Charlie in it.

I KNEW it wasn't Edward! More, more

Author's Response:

Keep reading :)

Thanks for reviewing, you make me smile.  I love watching your reactions as you read these chapters :)

just started this story and am psyched to see what happens

Author's Response:

welcome to my story!  I'm so glad you found it and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for reviewing, I do appreciate it :)

Hope you continue to read and enjoy this.

Truly one of the most beautiful chapters, if not stories I have EVER read.

You have literally brought me to tears (in a good way).

As I imagined the ceremony in La Push and the funeral in Forks, I could not help but think of everyone I have ever lost. At this moment, I am happy to remember them and all the memories I have of them. As each person tossed in a token of love (for that was what those objects were) and story of Charlie, I wanted to do the same for every person who has passed on.

This chapter spoke to me in a way that has not happened in a long time and for that and the tears that streak my face, I am grateful.

Thank you.

Author's Response:

wow, what can I say to that?  Thank you seems such an inadequte thing to say.

I am so glad that you were able to relate to the chapter and the story behind it.  I'm happy too that it brought back memories for you.  And the tears too, sometimes tears are quite cathartic.

Thanks so much for taking the time out to review.  I really do appreciate it. 

The next chapter is in the queue for validation and should be updated shortly.  I'm not sure what my Beta's timeline is right now as I have been lax in sending in this update.

I hope you continue to read and enjoy this story.

god edward never learns does he!!!!

Author's Response:

well got to give him points for trying... a 90 year habit is hard to break.  I hope he learns his lesson before it's too late and he loses Bella.

friends.... well its start!

Author's Response:
