Wow Jake sure has turned a new leaf.  Glad that he is at peace with Bella & Edward.  That part of her life seems to be settled.  Now about James, holy cow, Edward is going to freak with protectiveness!

Glad that Bella is feeling better, looking forward to Edward meeting Chief Swan and the weekend.

Thanks for your speedy continuation of this story.  I love this Edward and Bella!

Author's Response: It just goes to show you that things were on the decline between Jake and Bella. He is able to move on so Bella can be more at ease about moving on with Edward. james will bring the drama. Doesn't he always? Edward will bring some drama of his own. You're looking forward to Edward meeting Charlie. Not so sure Edward will look forward to that. I hope to update mid-week. Thanks for the review. -bannerday

I knew it! JAMES! Can't wait to read what's next.

Author's Response:

You were right! JAMES!!! YUCK!!! I'm working on the next chappie.

Uh oh...I'm dreading James' return and Edward's reaction to it...

Continue!! And thank you so much for the quick updates!!

Author's Response:

You just know Edward won't take this sittiing down. I will most certainly continue. You're welcome for the fast updates...the next one will take a bit longer, I'm out of town for the weekend on a mini-vacay. Yippee!! But I'll miss my storywriting time. Maybe I'll sneak the laptop, much to my hub's dismay. Just what he wants--take me for a little getaway and I bring Edward along. ;)

Thanks for the review.

ooohhh something to look forward to after a day of hard work for Bella lol

Author's Response:

Let's just hope they don't overdo it at the Black's so they can't "do" it later. We don't have to worry about Edward---look at all that sex drive he had last weekend. He's got three years' worth of stored up sex drive to unleash--I think Bella just barely nicked the surface at the Cullen Compound. ;)

Man! That is so much info, but I'm hella excited. How many more chappies do you think we have left? Wait, don't answer that. I'm just going to enjoy the ride. Glad to see you closing all open doors - the James thing, the flowers, Mike and Jessica. It just futher proves that you're a writing mastermind and knew where the story was going! Love you always bannerday!

Hi Tay!

Last chapter did have a lot going on, didn't it? They're going in so many different directions at this point. I think I've got somewhere between five and twenty chappies left. ;) You know me...I'm a wordy bitch, and I like to let Edward have his say, and he's a wordy bastard, plus there's all of his inner ramblings. I will continue to tie up some loose ends, and put neat bows on what I've packaged up.

Ooooh---a writing mastermind! *author hugs self* Never would have thought of myself that way. Thanks for the compliment. Don't know how deserved it is, but I'm taking it anyway. ;)

Thanks for the love in all of your lovely, loving reviews!

i knew it was james! he is such a creep! i hope that they can keep him away from her! edward is going to flip!

Author's Response:

You were right! And he is! Edward is not going to be a happy camper.

Thanks for the review.

Edward is so cute... every girls dream.  I'm guessing there is going to more flowers... from James maybe?  What is Jake doing?  Maybe he doesn't want Bella to rely so much on Edward so he brought back her truck?  Great as always. 

Author's Response:

He is. And he is. And there is. Could be. Okay, you're probably irritated with my reply, so I'll stop that nonsense. I can't really divulge because you just have to read, but then again, maybe you already have. I'm slow about getting to my reviews.

Thanks for the review. Thanks for the compliment. Keep in touch, Cina.

*sigh*...where can i get once of these?!?  I want someone to take care of me when I am ill or cramping...so unfair. *giggle*

 

 

Author's Response:

Hi again!

If I knew where to get one of these, I'd have my own. Unfortunately I can only write about him. That's kind of great---I can make him do any damn thing I want! LOL

Thanks for the smile,

I think it has been too long since i left you a review.  Sorry about that. As you know i am re-reading this story here on twilighted. I actually finished the whole thing a few months back on FFn.  I really do enjoy your story. I enjoy the interaction between all the characters.  As well as the touches of loving you are giving us to build up the real deal.  there is humor and sincerity. there is fun and drama. there is budding love and friendships.  I have so many stories that are so angst ridden i wanna cut out my heart and bleach my brain, i come to your story for a break from them.

On this chapter, I would so stare at E too and instead of being embarrased I was caught, I would tell him "It is mine to look at anytime I want" *giggle*.  I was laughing at him talking about leaving evidence so he had to do the laundry. 

“Let’s see, I’ve got to wash my cum-stained pajama pants, my cum-stained boxers, my cum-stained sheets…”

“I just pretty much spent the entire weekend ejaculating.”

crazy kids!!!!

on to the next chapter

Author's Response:

Hey there lbritt!

Thanks for the lovely review. You had so many nice things to say. I had a hug-fest as I read it. I'm wondering if you see much improvement in this version of the story compared to what you read on FF. I'm still re-updating that site's story so it will match this one, because I think this is so much better and more complete. And there are a few extra storylines that weren't in the original. After the initial few chapters I beefed these up on this site, maybe by one-third as many words. I think it tells a more complete story, and I've gotten into the characters a bit more. If you get the chance, let me know what you think, comparing the two versions.

I'm glad my fic offers you a break from the angst. I've got a little angst here, but not much. I'm too happy/silly of a person to write too much angst very well. ;)

I liked what your words to Edward would have been, had he caught you checking out his goods in the middle of the night. ;)

I couldn't decide if Edward was too gross, describing his laundry, but at least he apologized to Bella afterward, and really, he was only speaking the truth. ;) It's pretty much the way we would have wanted him to spend his weekend anyway, right? LOL

Thanks for the lovely review. Keep in touch.

I loved this chapter, it was so sad and I am glad they both found happiness and continue that way with a happily ever after! I am a sap too. lol!

Author's Response:

Hi vampgirl!

Thanks for the Chapterlove! I really loved that chapter too. It was sad, and yet a little uplifting that she's helping him to move past it and look at his relationship with Tanya a bit differently than he had been.

I think these two deserve a HEA, don't you? ;)

Saps unite! lol

Thanks for the review.

Noooo what the hell is dog boy doing there? Can you how fondly I think of him? LOL! Edward needs to run up to her ASAP and make sure the dogs keeping his hands to himself. Ok so I'm thinking the flowers were for Bella from james because he's all creepy and could be after her for getting him fired. Plus he seems like he could have stalker tendencies. Or maybe jake's gone all crazy trying to get her back.

Author's Response:

The Dog Boy (As opposed to Shark Boy!)....sniffing around where he doesn't belong. He's probably brought fleas, too. LOL

You've got some good ideas in your review. Some of them are even right. You'll have to read chapter 51 to see which are which. I'm posting tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for the review. Stay tuned. Keep in touch.
