Author's Response:

Hi i-heart!

Consider this fic updated!!! Thanks again for the Chapterlove. We are moving on and heading into the home stretch. I will be incredibly sad when it's done too. Thanks for the review.

This whole chapter makes me giggle and saw awww at their stolen kisses and looks at each other through out the day.

I am happy that they are able to be civilized with each other due to a greater cause.

Gotta Love that Charlie! He was being protective and understanding to Edward's akwardness and nervousness at being at his current girlfriend's ex boyfriend's father's house with all his friends and family. That was mouthful.

Edward is such a class act in this story.  I mean it is quite refreshing to read a story where he is level headed, supportive, and overall just a great guy.  he is so swoon worthy

Author's Response:

Hi again!

That was a difficult chapter for B & E to get through. That proximity, the sweaty-sexy, the inability to act on their desires because of the company they are currently keeping... and of course, knowing where their day is headed...

Charlie is such a great dad character. He's stern and gruff, but there is so much love there, and apparently it even extends a little bit in the direction of awkward, nervous, out-of-his-element Edward at his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend's father's house, surrounded by judging friends of the ex-boyfriend. That was a real mouthful.

Glad you like Swoonward. He is a class act. He's just doing his best to love the girl, no matter what that entails.

Thanks for the review.

First sorry for being a fail at leaving you reviews.  I have read the updates I swear. 

So now for my review:

Those girls are so relentless! To be honest I would do the same to my girlfriend though.  Like i have said in past love their closeness and teasing nature to each other.

You know some of favorite part of Twilight was the 'getting to know' one another part, sorta sad the glossed over it in the movie, but i know time restrictions so something has to go, but still can pout. I am glad you included here on the drive to Forks.

Oh and I am sure it is just a 'nature' walk they will be heading on next chappy.

I am kind of confused though. In your original, and i may be confusing this with another fic, didn't James sort of attack her at the gym? Is that later or did you take that out? just wondering. I like when E plays the hero so i hope you didn't.

Author's Response:

Hi lb!

I'm failing at my replies, so no worries on the reviews. ;) Glad you liked the Hyena Girls. I kind of love them, poking their noses into someone else's business. I'm sure they won't be able to contain themselves when B & E return from their Sexscape...they need the detes.

I'm glad too that you liked the continuation of the getting0to-know-you portion of B & E's relationship. I think that stuff is important. I don't know, I don't like to leave things unsaid/undone.

You are confusing my story with another one. I never included James beyond seeing him at the party in the initial go-around. That was one of my big regrets and part of the reason why I re-did this story. But now I have plans for James. ;)

Thanks for reviewing.

okay, so I'm a new reader, but I'm not one of those nice ones who reviewed after every chapter. I chose to just read until my head hurt and my eyes were crossed.  Ugh. However, as you've said, there is something that makes you keep reading!  I'm enjoying the story and love the James stuff.  You definitely needed that to keep the readers on the edge of their seats!

Author's Response:

Hi Mom of 2 in WI!

I am sending you some Tylenol for your headache and I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what to do about the crossed-eyes thing. Maybe read the chapters backward now and they'll uncross. The biggest compliment a reader can pay me is that they were too engrossed in reading the story non-stop to pause and leave a review. Totally acceptable when you state it like that. ;)

Glad to know you love the story and the James aspect. He's a recurring nightmare, isn't he? Hope you continue to enjoy as I wind down. Thanks for leaving me this review to let me know that you enjoyed what you read. Keep in touch.

i think that was a good way to end the jacob part of the story.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN 4 CHAPTERS????????  I will have a serious problem with that.. i will need at least 3 epi's to get over my withdrawl.. k? k! 

Love ya! 

Author's Response:

Hi accsmom!

Glad you liked the bow I tied on the Jacob package. Now he's happy, Bella's happy and because Jake is happy, Edward can be happy.

I know, 4 chapters and I think an epilogue...I'm toying with a different idea; we'll see. I will be suffering some serious withdrawals as well. I will miss all the readers reviews. I'm going to try to start the next story and upload the first chapter soon, we'll see how that goes. The story is a little daunting to write, but, heck...I've got time, I guess.

Thanks for the love and all the supoport and reviews over the many chapters.

First, I'm totally switching to Team Charlie...what an awesome guy how he smoothed over the embarrassing intros! Most. Excellent. Job.

I really really enjoyed this chapter considering I'm panting for nightime (shivers). OMG..shirtless sweaty winky tenting Edward??? GAH!

Enjoyed the banter, humor & quips. Nice story on Emily. And, you clever girl, Nessie? Very well done.

Now..ahem...let's "get it on" with The Good Stuff, shall we?? ;+) Linda

Author's Response:

Charlie is a good guy, a great dad, and an intimidating presence when he needs to be. It must be the mustache. LOL He did a good job with the intros. I was giggling when I wrote the "Can't stand here gabbing all day" line---like Charlie is a gabber. LOL Glad you liked that part. I was happy with it. Don't know what Edward would have done at that house without the police protection.

Glad you enjoyed the chapter. I know everyone is anxious to get on with the sexing, but there are things that I think need tying up, and even the next chapter, it's just the beginning of Saturday night.

Glad you liked the image of shirtless, sweaty, winky, tenting Edward. Me too. *sigh* *drool* *puddle*

Glad you liked the Emily thing too. It's kind of the Bella/Jake/Edward story too, but with a more bittersweet ending.

And Nessie--I had to go with the canon pairing, because I just don't understant how you do a fan fic without canon. But I can't stand the name Renesmee---so I guess you caught my dig, and I also hate "Nessie" when you can call the girl "Renie" "Nessie" is the Loch Ness Monster to me, ever since I was in 7th grade, Nessie has been the Loch Ness Monster. So, no how, no way, am I calling her "Nessie."

And the good stuff....nearly there. ;) Thanks for the review and the smiles.

Hi Lisa, hope you got my message. So, I got no real spare time in half-term at all. I was much busier than normal, but at least Mum's not phoning all the time because she's bored or lonely!

Mum is now safely in the IOW, my baby turned 21, my best friend was 60, had lunch with an old school friend, went to the theatre to see a Medium and my feet are recovering from being danced off them last night! Phew, roll on Christmas!!

I think it will be some time before Carlisle's Twilight POV poem is finished, I never seem to get to walk the dog alone anymore - my thinking/writing time. Plus it is already over 1400 words and I've only got to the meadow scene!

Right, now I'm going to read.

Ha ha, Jasper trying to influence Alice's mood - nice touch.

Thank you Alice and Rose!! Things would not be half as much fun if you didn't keep making Bella spill. LOL!

"Have a seat, Pete" Ha ha, so Jasper!

Who knew Emmett could be so grown up? Yeah, Big Sis done good! (I'm reading a story on fanfic where Emmett is a dad to twin boys and he's being an awesome dad!)

And another Twilight line, I always love those and they always make me giggle. I like it better in this context though, in Twilight I think it makes Edward sound a bit pompous. ('Course you know it's the "Bella is unavailable" quote). Poor Tyler.

Do you know what?

"What?" I hear you ask.

I don't think I can do a whole chapter in one go any more!! God, I must be getting old - or maybe menapausal or just plain tired. Well, you know me, when I get tired I just kinda ramble all over the place making less sense than Jasper at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party.

So I guess we'll both wait for the rest, lol.

Looking forward to ch56 part deux, Isabel

Author's Response:

Hi Isabel!

I've been ridiculously busy myself. It's been really difficult to update. I've hardly had time to sit and mull things over, and I do so like to mull. And I like mulled-wine as well. Maybe that's what I need.

School has been really busy, with quarter grades due. Tests and quizzes and essays, oh my! Sounds like you have had a very nice bit of family/friend fest. I'm happy things worked out well with your mom. My mom has adjusted to her new life-style as well. She's nearer my sister and more family, so that's a good thing for her.

I enjoyed your limerick and think I wrote a reply to that email but then I think I lost that somehow and was so cranky that I just let that activity slide. But that was delightful and I'm sure your friend enjoyed it immensely.

Glad you found some entertaining moments in the first half of chapter 56. Hope you make it through the rest of the chapter. I have faith. The story is nearly done. I know I've worn so many of you down, making you wait for the sexy. But rest assured, I am working on a song to reward you upon completion of my chapter 60. LOL

I'm glad to know that you enjoy the throwback lines to the original Twilight that I incorporate. Sometimes I wonder if readers are enjoying that kind of thing or merely rolling their eyes at me. I think of it as an homage to the original.

Take care, Isabel. Keep in touch.

Oh my lovely Bannerday,

Girlfriend what a trip that was with Shirtless Sweatward and the "wolf" pack!!!!!!!!!!! Sweatward won the contest handsdown!!!!!!! Gald to see Ms Grope passed out, would hate for Edward to have flashbacks!!!!!!!

Edward going all alter-ego with the monolouges:  paul putting a stake in his heart, thinking Bella was biteable!!!!!!

Then we meet Nessie sorry but I do like Jake's nickname better!!!!!!!! Hair like Edward's and brown eyes, telling B and E that they should name their child Reneesme because of their mom's...... do we have a seeping of an AU happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry to miss the chocoalte bastard cake but the muffins are a good sub!!!!!!

Well I can't for the big night!!!!!!!! and to find out what happens to James back at school....maybe we will get to see some more of Fightward!!!!!!!!!! He is most definitely yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

laters!!!!!!!!

Twi-Ho

Author's Response:

Hi my dearest Twi-Ho!

Glad you enjoyed the outing with Shirtless Sweatward and the "wolf" pack. I think Sweatward won as well, especially after he helped me to get Mrs. Cope into the wheelbarrow and dump her back into the car. That woman can snore!!! What a drunken bender...she missed all the action. Thank God! I hate when she purrs, so at least we didn't have to listen to that noise.

I love the alter-ego thing. It keeps me entertained when I can throw that stuff in there. I never know if my readers are giggling or groaning when they read it though.

I tend to think Loch Ness Monster too when I hear "Nessie" so I have a hard time dealing with it. The only way I was going to be able to include her in this story is if I could give her a different name. Well, I kept the original name, but played with that a little. I had to go with a canon pairing, though, so there couldn't have been anyone else other than her. She just wasn't going to be an infant in my story. LOL

Almond poppyseed muffins---my faves.

On to Saturday late-afternoon, early evening. Chapter 59 should be up shortly. It's just waiting on validation. Thanks for the review and the giggles.

Yet another amazing chapter... I can't stop thinking about Bella's 'new white boy'... mmm that got me lauhing... hmmm sweaty, shirtless, hard-bodied Edward, winking and blowing kisses... ... ... ... almost an overload of info there :)

Author's Response:

Bella's "white boy" made me crack up too. Granted, he's not as alabaster-toned as the original, made-of-marble Edward, but apparently he's rather pale, like Bella, and certainly much paler than the guys on the res. Or a Samoan surfer from Hawaii! You think that mental image of Edward is an overload...I had to deal with that the whole week as I wrote that up and edited and drooled. ;)

Thanks for the review.

Great chapter. Loved the half naked sweaty Edward, not suprised he distracted Bella. It's nice to see Jake happy and I'm glad that they all got on well together.

Can't wait for the next update. T x

Author's Response:

Shoot girlfriend! Half-naked, sweaty Edward was distracting just writing about him! I think a happy Jake means a happy Bella and a happy Jake means a relaxed, more secure Edward.

Update this weekend, I hope. It's written, just waiting on validation. Thanks for the review.

~Hell, if Paul had been her boyfriend I’d probably have a stake right through my heart by now.~

My favorite line in the whole chapter!!!!! I Love it. Great way to end my night besides a convo with the bff. Sad to say that them actually getting some means that it is almost the end for our lovely couple. That just means I get more lovely stories from one of my favorite authors!

Love this and Love you!!!

Kate:D

Author's Response:

Glad you liked my vampire-inspired comment. Sometimes I just can't help but giggle and throw that stuff in there, just to see if anybody is paying attention. ;) Glad to know it caught your eye.

I'm going to miss this story when I'm done. I think I'll curl up and read the whole thing from begining to end, just for the trip down memory lane to see what the heck I wrote. ;) I'm going to try to upload the first chapter of my other story soon, so look for "So Much to Learn" and let me know what you think. And chapter 59 should be up in a day or two.

Thanks for the Storylove and Authorlove. And know that for you, I have Fanlove!

BRING ON THE SEXY TIMES!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response:

Heck, Esquire, now you're shouting for smut! What have I done to you with this torturously slowly evolving physical relationship between B & E? Something tells me you're going to need a big hug after you read chapter 59. But after chapter 60 you might feel a little more replete. ;)

Thanks for the grin and giggle.
