You go Charlie!  Nice plot!

Author's Response:

I know! Don't you just want to cheer the poor man on? ;) Glad you're enjoying the story...Thanks for reviewing! :) :)

This is fabulously well done. My hubs was a cop and he said your information about the investigation was really right on track. Love this.

Author's Response:

Wow, thanks! I appreciate you letting me know I wasn't totally off base with the investigation. I did my research, but I wasn't sure if it rang true enough. Glad to hear you're enjoying reading as much as I'm enjoying writing. I hope to have more ready for you soon! Thanks so much for taking the time to review!! :) :)

YAY NEW CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!! i LOVE Charlie's POV!!!!!!

This chapter was really interesting! I liked the flashbacks that he had. He like Bella is really perecptive,

Author's Response:

I love ChPOV, too! His voice is so much fun to write! Glad you enjoyed the flashback to "The Longest Day." It was emotionally taxing to write, but at the same time I had a blast dropping in little Easter eggs that Charlie would misinterpret. Like you said, though, Bella got her perceptiveness from Charlie, and it won't be long before he starts reading between the lines of all their lies! Thank you so much for taking the time to review! :)

Hi! Just want to say Merry Christmas from all of your fans here at Twilighted! ....Who are still waiting for an update....

Author's Response:

Hey there...

Sorry for the delay, SkittleE. I'll go into greater detail in my author's note, but the last few months have really been hard. You already know that I had to switch grade levels as a teacher. Then in November, my grandma suffered heart failure and was given days to live. Somehow, she made it, but her brain's been "compromised." It's been a struggle, but the family's starting to get back to the way things were before.

So basically RL combined with completely writer's block on chapter three came together for the delay. Good news? I used the chapter three writer's block to write a bunch of chapters four and five, AND I finally figured out a way for the problems in chapter three to iron out. I'm going to get the chapter into my betas' hands this week, and then it's up to them. Hopefully they'll get it back to me for validation by the new year.

Thanks for being so supportive and sticking with me. I hope it'll be worth the wait! :)

Great idea.

Author's Response:

Thanks! :)

You are pissing me off. I love this story so much, and yet you don't update. I've almost gotten to the point when I'll take you off my favorites list. Try to give us readers a little less break between chapters, because for some reason, four months in between just is a little too much.

Author's Response:

Um, wow, okay...I apologize for the long time in between the last couple chapters, but I've had a difficult time in real life. I lost my teaching job in the spring and spent most of my time filling out many applications and interviewing. I finally got recalled to my district, but I moved from teaching sixth grade where I've been for three years down to kindergarten. I don't have as much time to write as I would like because the kids just have to come first.

If you'd like to take Not All Those off of your favorites list, I suppose that's your choice. I'd be sad to see one of my readers go, but I don't regret putting my job and my students before my fanfiction. It's the way real life is sometimes. One of my favorite authors completely pulled her stories down from all the sites in the last week because of time constraints, and I refuse to do that to my readers.

I do have some good news for you. Chapter 3, The Longest Day, is almost done and should be submitted to Twilighted before Halloween, (it can take weeks to clear even for continuing stories, though). I hope you'll continue to be patient with me a little longer...Good things come to those who wait, after all!

This is really good... keep up the good work!

Author's Response:

Thanks! This chapter really kicked my butt, so I'm glad you liked it! ;) I really appreciate the reviews!

Hey there,
What a great chapter!
I loved how it turned out. All of the touches with Charlie reminiscing on Bella are absolutely spot-on characterizations. Like lost text from SM. Very touching and really giving us a very real insight into what Charlie;s emotional lanscape looks like.

I already loved Charile, but you make me love him even more. I would never have imagined him as a protagonist, but now thanks to you, I am all in!! Sold!

You did an amazing job with Rachel too - which is even more incredible when one oconsiders you had like a millimeter of book to go off of in order to get a feel for her.

You did a great job with Jacob too. Sometimes people make him a little too A.C. Slater for my taste - missing the whole point of what's actually charming, and frustrating, about him. But you really did well with the dialogue and the little nuances in personality and motivations.

The pace and the reveals are perfect, you are clearly in control of thsi story...whcih is at once reassuring and fustrating...you could give us a few tells!!

Love the humor sprinkled throughout too!! Very funny.

I will look forward to badgering you for more soon, just as soon as I get out of my glass house :-)

Author's Response:

Aw, you're such a sweetheart! When I imagined Look After You, I didn't see Charlie as being a character who could hold the weight of an entire plot on his shoulders, either. I mean, he's not interesting enough, right? Wrong...I was sooo wrong. As I got to writing him, I fell in love with his cadances, both spoken and thought. Charlie has a unique way of looking at his broken world though eyes that belong to both a damn good cop and a father lost. I'm so glad that I've sold you on his POV because he's such a great character to play with!

Thanks for the Rachel kudos. For having so little to work with, she wasn't difficult to write. In fact, my inspiration for Rachel is a more mature, more feminine, and less bitter Jake! ;)

And speaking of his wolfiness, I totally cracked up with the A.C. Slater comment! LMAO! I know *exactly* what you're talking about!!

So the pace doesn't drag? Whoo-hoo! :) Some times I worry about that. As for giving the readers more tells? Please - all in due time. There are already some there. You just have to know what you're looking at! ;)

Chapter three is already underway. Get your butt outta that glass house so you can badger away!! Thanks as always for the super-betaness and the review!

Love it --- can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Don't worry ... chapter three is halfway done already! And thank you so much for reviewing each chapter. I love hearing what my readers have to say! It's greatly appreciated! :) :)

Excellant plot! Can't wait to see what Charlie discovers!

Author's Response:

Thanks! Charlie is in for quite the wild ride, I can promise you that!

I can't wait for Charlie to dig a little deeper

Author's Response:

Then stay tuned because the next three chapters are all about him digging deeper...until he has way more questions he than he could have imagined! ;) Glad you're enjoying the story!

You decided to write a sequel, how wonderful. I have to ask did Jacob imprint on Renessme and did he seperate from Sam and the rest of the pack like in the books? I am looking forward to the next installment to this wonderful story.

Author's Response:

Yeah, I decided to take the leap back into multi-chapter writing. Haven't done that for a couple years! To answer your first question, no Jake didn't imprint on Renessme here. In fact, she doesn't exist in this fic's universe. I have an idea about what I want to do with Jacob's character, but that wouldn't come into play until the end of the story. You'll just have to wait and see for now! As for the pack, Jake never felt the need to separate from Sam back in 2006 because Bella was never pregnant......but that doesn't mean he *won't* at some point. ;)

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Again, I am enjoying this story.  Your writing is very engaging.  I love how you have been able to express all the subtext that is going on in every conversation.

Author's Response:

You're so sweet! I have a lot of fun messing around with Charlie. The more subtext I can throw in, the better! :) Chapter three is filled with it as Charlie remembers the day Bella died. Hope you'll like it! :) I really appreciate you taking the time to review. It makes my day!
