So I was right about james. He is such a creep. I hope Bella doesn't wait too long before she tells Edward about it because he's going to be a little upset that he was left out of the loop for this long.

Author's Response:

Yes! You were right about James. He is creepy. And he's just going to get creepier. Bella will tell Edward, it's time he knew. and he will be upset, but the real one he will be upset at will be James.

Thanks for the review. chapter 52 should be up tonight or tomorrow.

See I knew I could trust you with the Jake thing.  You wouldn't let me down.  James has me a little worried, but I really don't think at this point you will let Bella be hurt to badly.  I just wish she would hurry up and tell Edward before this all blows up in her face.

Edward really does have bad timing doesn't he?  The poor guy can't catch a break whenever Jake is around.  Hopefully it goes better on the weekend.

So is Bella ready?  I am assuming yes, but with you I have learned you never know!

Until next time

Hi CM!

Yeah, I don't hate Jake, never have, never will. He's just a tragic figure---in love with someone else's girl. And then he falls for an infant. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hoo boy! Okay, I'm over it. He's not falling for a toddler in my story. I'm going to give him more credit than that. Sheesh...talk about robbing the cradle. What the hell was Steph thinkin'????

James has us all worried...well, everyone except for edward, who is clueless but not for much longer. Edward's timing will improve around Jake.

Bella...is she ready? I'll let her tell you. I just finished chapter 52 and it's waiting on validation. Hopefully up tonight or tomorrow. Let me know what you think of THAT chapter.

Thanks for the review.

GREAT chpater!!! Youre awsome!!!!!!! the writitng was great keep up the good work and pls pls update soon!!!! Gah!!! Why can't we all just have our own personal Edwards!!!

;)

Happy to see that the dog didnt cause too much trouble!

Author's Response:

Hi i! Glad you liked that chapter. It was a fairly busy chapter. I have finished chapter 52 and it should post tonight or tomorrow. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts. If we all had our own personal Edwards no one would be reading these fics. ;)

Yeah, the dog...turns out Jake isn't a bad guy at all. I've never hated him. He's kind of a tragic figure. But still---Give me Edward anyday! ;)

Don't bet against Alice! This is a fun story!

Author's Response:

Hi l f! Why would anyone ever bet against Alice? Glad you are enjoying the story.

Too funny! one thing after another. perfect!

Author's Response:

They can't help but notice one another, right? That could turn out to be a good thing.

Thanks for reviewing.

I wish James would just go away. Oh Edward is so wonderful to go help!!!

Author's Response:

James is like a recurring nightmare---he never seems to go away. Just keeps popping up when you least expect him. Edward is such a doll, isn't he? You'll get to read his inner turmoil in the next chapter. He's got some concerns about the weekend. ;)

Thanks for the review,

James got a boob graze??? How is he still breathing oxygen? You know there will be a showdown once Edward catches wind of this.....and that makes me think plans for all that lovin' on Saturday might have to be put on hold. I know James is a psycho but I think in this case he needs to be worried about Edward's reaction.....bannerday, you better tell James not to fiddle with his belt if at all possible, it could be his death sentence!

Author's Response:

Yes. Boob graze. Back at the coffee shop. She's about to spill to edward. That will not go over well. James is still breathing because until now, Edward has no idea. Saturday will still take place. James doesn't get the whole Edward thing. He thinks Edward's just " Little Cullen." I sure as hell hope James is fiddling with his belt buckle when Edward runs into him.

Thanks for the review.

Uh hummm - " I just really want to be with you, love. I want to make love with you, Bella. I want to show you how much you mean to me. And I don’t know if you think you’ll feel ready for that yet...but I just wanted…to see what you thought."       ahhhh HELL YEAH!  Is that a question, really????  I would be loading the car before he could finish the sentence. 

HOT DAM Bannerday - that was a wicked chapter.  Let's see, Jake is buckling his belt, Edward practically breaks down the door to Bella's room, Alice figures out who sent the tumble weads and James is back in the picture. 

Some one has had an active imagination lately! Whatever medication your'e on, I suggest that you double the dose and get cracking on the next chapter.  We need more - quickly!

:)

Author's Response:

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHoo boy. I just rolled and rolled reading your first paragraph. You are right: the key would be in the ignition, the engine revving, we'd be moving before Edward had even realized that I'd picked him up bodily and flung him across the center console as I was driving away to the nearest Motel Sex. I mean Motel Six.

Glad you liked my very busy chaper 51. Lots O'stuff going on there. Lots O'stuff coming up too.

It'a amazing what storyline concepts sound good to you when you are smoking crack. :) Actually, I am now sick with a terrible cold, so we'll see how that comes across in my next chapter. The second half was written under the influence of nasal spray and Vick's Dayquil Sinex daytime/nighttine sinus relief medicine. We'll see how that translates into the second half of chapter 52.

Thanks for the review.

I'm glad Jake made an effort to not be an assclown.  Edward was ready for a showdown.  James is beyond creepy and the fact that he knows where she loves is frightening.

Author's Response:

Turns out Jake is a good guy. He's not the assclown you were worrying about. Edward was ready to duel. Jake is just the wrong guy. He needs to save up that adrenaline for James--who is creepy, and yes it's scary that he knows where she lives...and loves. ;)

Thanks for the review.

James?  Creepy creepster!  Edward better set him straight.  I have thoughts of a Bella kidnapping...  Edward sweeping in and rescuing her.  Maybe working together with Jake...  Can't wait to see how it goes!

Author's Response:

You got James pegged. It would certainly be good if Edward could set him straight. A Bella kidnapping, you think? We'll have to wait and see. I do like Swoopandrescueward. Jake's too busy with his new love interest and planning on the build at his dad's house.

I'll update shortly.

Thanks for the review.

James. What a creepy disgusting putz! *shudder* Maybe Emmett will give him a little something to think about?

OOOO... Are they finally going to get away and be alone together? Like ALONE, alone? I almost think we shouldn't hold our breath...

Protectiveward was ridiculously hot! Jumped the gun a little, but who could really blame him? His luck (not to mention his timing) IS extraordinarily bad!

Great chapter, as always!

Author's Response:

Hi Tammygrrrl!

James is a real creeper.

And yes, they are really going to get away and be alone together. ALONE, alone, alone. TOGETHER, together, together.;)

If you like Protectiveward, there's more coming. Bella is finally going to be forthcoming.

Thanks for the review.

So I've totally fallen of the face of the planet, but I'm back and once again I've got to say great chapter!  Edward really needs to work on his timing though. lol. I have a feeling Edward isn't going to react well to the news about James.

Author's Response:

Hi z!

Glad you made your way back to the face of the planet. Glad you liked the chapter. Lots going on there. Edward needs better timing, you are right about that. Jake neds to put his belt on correctly.

Nope, Edward is not going to be a happy camper about James.

Thanks for the review.

Ok so I was wrong about Jake but I was right on target w/ James.

James reminds me of a creepy guy who stalked me when I was a teen. There were no stalker laws back then (yes I'm old) so when my parents contacted his parents, his mother asked if he tried to break in YET. I was so freaked out especially when the cops said unless he harmed me or damaged my property there was nothing they could do. Finally my father &  a couple of large uncles paid him a vist & I never saw or heard from him again.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Edward handles the James situation, but even more so looking forward to their Saturday evening together!

Author's Response:

Hi twimom!

Sounds like you had quite the creepy creeper experience. Glad it got 'handled'.

You know Edward won't handle the fact that Bella didn't tell him. very well. And of course he'll be pissed at the friends/sibs for not telling him. And of course he'll want to rip James a new one.

We'll see. Thanks for the review.
