Reviews For Growing Pains
Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: April 19, 2011 08:16 PM · On: Chapter 13

 Cool!  Look who is becky in town!       :-P

  'As I took in the torn and blood splattered tent, I repressed a shudder of disgust. It wasn’t completely unheard of to have an animal attack in the woods around Forks, but judging by the size of the prints leading away from the campsite, it looked like the rumors of a large bear in the area were true. And strangely enough, it had a taste for human flesh.'       What the heck...??  Well, I will guess it was a random nomad's work.  What happened to the camper?

  "I'm afraid you'll have to compare notes with me first, Charlie. There's a few things I need to tell you, and show you, before you talk to Officer Mark"(...)  Two minutes later, everyone in the house except the sleeping Lizzy heard Sarah's somewhat hysterical response to Adam's frantic 'What's wrong?'.       "Jake is about to phase in front of Charlie. On purpose."       Oh, man...!  Bella will be crazy!!

  I imagine Jake's purpose is to stop Charlie from opening the giant wolves' hunting season.  How much will he tell him this time?       :-|

  'Of course it could have been Lizzy's not-so-subtle preference for my mate that prompted her decision. Lizzy had captured all of our hearts, but of all of us, she seemed most comfortable with Adam. Which delighted him to no end and annoyed both my sisters.'       Hmm, will Leia have competition later?  But it is good to know Alice and Rose are alone in their disgust for Adam!       X-P

  Too bad Sarah's panick attack crumbled Leia and Adam's night.  It sounded so promising...       P-)

  Mystery, mystery...  Who could it be, this faceless vampire that is friends with Irina and intrigued with the Cullens lifestyle?  Too bad Felix delated his/her letters.  I guess Caius wants to deal with what he perceives as a frightening infestation of Children of the Moon.

  Man, this promises to be bad!  After all, the Cullens and the Wolves are not in the best terms right now!       :(

Whew! That birth went a bit smoother, fortunately. I can't wait to read more about little Lizzy. What a perfect name, by the way: it links to both Edward's mother and to a character from one of Bella's favourite authors. No wonder Bella was touched to tears when she found out Edward had nicknamed the baby Lizzy.

Just wanted to show my appreciation and encouragement. It's been a while since I've read any fanfics on this site. And low and behold, I had Dream Walker under my favorites and the rest, as you say, is history. I've actually been on a reading binge and have read from Dream Walker to present-day Growing Pains and just want to say this has got to be one of my favorite AU series of all time! I love how you made a blind vampire so realistic and possible in the Twilight Universe. Thank you for following through to "Breaking Dawn" in your series. I can't wait to see what happens next!!! 

P.S. I think Alice and Jasper are in trouble, whether it be from Irina, the Pack, or the Volturi. That's why Alice never answered her phone, but everyone is to preoccupied with Lizzy's birth to notice.

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: January 16, 2011 09:43 AM · On: Chapter 12

  Hey, hey!  Becky is back!  :)

  Oh, yes, the morphine.  Another change brought by Leia.  Ack!  This time, we will have lots of screams. :-{

  Ok, I liked your version.  This deliver was much more smoother than the original, despite Carlisle's absence.  :)

  However, at the occasion, Rose almost lost control because of Bella's blood.  I suppose the quantity covering Ness...mean, Lizzy, wasn't too much for her restraint?

  And Lizzy makes her first show...  :)

  Sweet, Becky!  But what are you planning for Charlie?  Without Jacob to pull him into the events...  I don't see Adam doing it this time.  They are all too worried with Bella's self-control, they have no idea what she is capable.  So, how??

  Becky, I just realized you are mischievousness incarnate!!  Your chapter doesn't end with a cliffie, so you just poke our curiosity with your End Notes?  Girl, that was a veeery dirty trick!   :-P

  Oh, just my two cents about Daylen's question on Leia borrowing Lizzy's vision.  Leia's power is not really telepathic, or Bella's shield would block it.  So, I don't think Leia should see anything of what she is showing to someone else, if borrowing her vision at the same time.  Your only decision should be if she can link Lizzy at distance or only by touch; in my opinion only.  :)

Reviewer: Samolly (Signed) · Date: January 15, 2011 06:51 PM · On: Chapter 12

Now that is how the birth should have been done!  Make haste to Louisiana and edit that script!

Reviewer: Daylen (Signed) · Date: January 15, 2011 05:24 AM · On: Chapter 12

awww little Lizzie is here, Bella's burning through the change, and Leia's potentially got some echoes to worry about when she links to Lizze's eyes at the same time as she's relaying memories? hmm

 



Author's Response:

Not sure how that will affect Leia's vision borrowing. :) i'm glad she's here too.

Reviewer: rosaliehale (Signed) · Date: January 14, 2011 08:02 PM · On: Chapter 12

Aww Lizzy!!! I have to say, I like that so much better than Renesmee. :) Great chapter! And it's so nice to hear from you again!!

~Madelyn xx



Author's Response:

Thanks, Madelyn. :) I'm glad to have something to post again. I'm still a little slow going, but I'm determined to finish this series.  Yeah, I like Lizzy. She's still Renesmee for all intents and purposes, but there are big differences, starting with no Jake and  a supportive Edward. Makes things go so much smoother.

Reviewer: Robin Jeannene (Signed) · Date: January 14, 2011 05:30 PM · On: Chapter 12

awesome! I like that name Elizabeth much better than Renasme, its a bit of a mouthfull



Author's Response:

Hi and thanks so much for reviewing again. :) Yeah, I'm keeping Renesmee, but I did change things up a bit. I think Edward would want a say in the naming process and I like to think he'd think of his mother since Bella was thinking of Renee and Esme.  Besides, there's no Jacob to make Nessie a household nickname, so I needed a different one.

Reviewer: LittleMissAbigail (Signed) · Date: January 10, 2011 10:18 PM · On: Chapter 11

Awwww.... Edward is bonding with little-Cullen. How sweet! I knew Adam couldn't be mad at Leia. Both you and he are too sane for that. ;) I'm glad you are going to change the birth scene. *nose scrunch* I was never a fan, personally. Are you going to change Renesmee's name? I've never liked the name Renesmee Carlie either. Plus, Lizzy Cullen just sounds precious. ^_^

 

Thank you for updating,

Abby



Author's Response:

I actually don't mind Renesmee much. It's unique and kinda pretty, but I liked the idea of Edward having his own nickname for the baby and especially thinking of his mother.  This way, all three moms get recognition. :)  Thanks again, Abby. :) Glad to hear from you again. I've been a bit AWOL myself, as you've noticed. Hoping to get back on a two week posting schedule again. :)

Reviewer: LittleMissAbigail (Signed) · Date: January 10, 2011 10:10 PM · On: Chapter 10

Sorry I haven't reviewed until now. I read them weeks ago but I haven't been near a computer. Sorry...again. (:

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2010 10:54 AM · On: Chapter 11

  Edward bonding with the baby.  Nice!

  “Best Aunt’s nothing. I’ve got godmother on lock.”  Ahaahhahaha!  That's my girl!  Way to go, Leia!  :-D

  Renesmee Elizabeth Cullen?  Not bad.  Sounds good to me.  :)

  Good thinking with the cup scene.  Things will get bumpy enough even without it, right?

  And about Leia and Adam, my votes for they having their special moment soon.  And if someone as frail as Bella could have her way with Edward with no more than a few bruises, these two can do it with even less...casualties.  :-}

  Oh, no!  The end of the line!!  AAAAAAHHHH...

  Now I will have to wait like everybody else.  X-(



Author's Response:

Hehe...well, I must say I'm sorry I've been lax checking my reviews of late. I'm so glad you've enjoyed reading this series. I've been a bit lacking on the motivation and muse lately, so chapters are slower in coming.  I loved reading all your reviews, too. :) I won't go back and respond to all of them again, but if you want any questions answered, to help jump start my muse or brainstorm with me, feel free to do the 'contact me' thing on my profile. :) 

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2010 09:46 AM · On: Chapter 10

  Hah!  I should have known.  If it isn't a Wolf, it's another.  So, Adam had the inspiration about the blood.  Good!  :)

  Very thoughtful of Adam, foreseeing the effect on his sister.

  No surprises in his understanding of what happened.  Seriously, who would blame her hearing the whole story?  Well, maybe the rest of the Pack (Seth being the possible exception), but they are biased, bigots! :-/

  Speaking of who...Did anyone hear Adam's thoughts when he phased?

  Oh, do we have to leave so soon?  The hot springs seems to be so inviting...  X-)

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 21, 2010 08:59 AM · On: Chapter 9

 Alice is definitely making a fool of herself!  Geez!!  Berate Leia about who she loves!  Better she grow-up a bit and stop hostilizing Adam, before it's too late!  :(

  I'm glad it wasn't this time.  Almost worth it to see Leia jump on Adam after Jasper brought him back.  ^_^

  That was an interesting twist, making the Denalis aware of the case during the pregnancy, instead of after the birth.  Tanya's reaction was very callous;  I'm proud of Bella for showing her some fire! :)

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 20, 2010 08:45 PM · On: Chapter 8

  Ok, I have to bite my tongue!  Bella's belly was smaller than I thought.  Lucky them Nessie didn't kick during Charlie's visit.  :)

  Then, a nice dinner with Charlie (where only 3 people ate),  the family being together again after the rift over the pregnancy, the travel, cafeine, Adam savior... Good, good! :)

  And Edward apologizing to Leia.  It was just about time, you idiot!  P-)

  A nice and healing chap, Becky!

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 20, 2010 07:18 PM · On: Chapter 7

   Hmm...I suppose it makes sense Bella asked Leia for help, instead of Rose, even if she was in the house.  Hey, did Rose and Bella ever had that talk about what happened to her and her dreams of motherhood?  I can't remember...

  "Are you so jealous of my relationship with Bella that you are willing to let her die?" Ugh!  That was a low blow!  He could say it to Rose, but never, EVER, to Leia!   :(

  Glad am I that Leia and Adam were enough to stop Edward and Carlisle; and that Leia could hammer some sense into that know-it-all head!  :)

  Yep, if the Pack knew about it, could be disastrous this time.  Darkness!!  Jacob could even side with Sam in destroying the child!  He isn't a true friend since he phased.  Really a pity Adam haven't Alpha potential.  :-/

  Two days later...  Time enough for them to go to Alaska before the birth.  I wonder who will come up with the idea of blood drinking.

  Charlie will see Bella pregnant??  Oh, man, he will freak, will totally lose it!

  I don't think they will use the adopted niece bogus here. :)

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 20, 2010 06:18 PM · On: Chapter 6

  Sarah I already knew, but David is Da Man!! :-D

  You know, if Jasper was trying to be helpful, he could have done it in a less annoying, mood-breaking way.  The fluff was so good...  :(

  Good thing there was more later!  :)

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 19, 2010 07:26 PM · On: Chapter 5

  I think you exagerated the Quileutes a bit...They played too dirty and too hard!  :(

  I can only imagine how Sarah and David feel about this decision.  Sincerely, I hope they cheat this banishment a bit, even if only through e-mails.  Maybe some clandestine encounters outside of Forks...

  Wedding... check!  I hope Angela gets the bouquet.  Now, to the honeymoon!  :)

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 19, 2010 06:45 PM · On: Chapter 4

  Bella-Edward fluff.  Always good!

  And the insights of this talk, both on the Quileutes' mindset and on Leia-Adam relationship, including the other Cullens disposition about it, I appreciate them.

  But, now, can we go to the main event?  :)

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 19, 2010 04:58 PM · On: Chapter 3

  A sprinkle of Leia and Adam, plus some Leia-Edward fluff...Nice!

  And the Quileute's decision knocking on the door.  Biting my nails here!  My most ardent votes for Adam not being injured by whatever it is!

  And now, going onward.

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 19, 2010 03:38 PM · On: Chapter 2

    I see the Quileutes were more difficult this time, for Leia to be forced to 'threaten' then with the Volturi so they would consider the exception.  I can't put my finger on why...

  And my sympathy for David Talldeer grows each time he shows his good will towards Leia!  ^_^

  A bachelorete party?  This didn't happened in the books.  I guess Alice was too focused in the wedding to think about it.  This time they had Leia to take charge of this one! :)

  Just sorry for the pizzas she had to eat.  So awful for them!  :-}

  I sorry Bella feels she will lose Charlie, but why would Leia's presence change what happened in BD?

  Sarah, on the other hand...

  Jacob reunited Bella and Charlie so the Cullens didn't go away with Nessie.  But, with Sarah as his new imprint, will anyone stop them from leaving, presuming Bella won't have control enough?

  *Tsk*  Now I'm worried for Bella and Charlie.  I have no idea of what you will do...

  I think too much!  :-P

Reviewer: Costa (Signed) · Date: December 19, 2010 01:42 PM · On: Chapter 1

  And here I am, following the next story in one of my favourite series!

  Too bad I will probably slam into a cliffie when I catch up with the last available chapter! :(

  Good begining with a Adam-Leia fluff.  I expect to see a lot of them from now on!   ^_^

  So, this is how the Pack will know about Bella's change this time.  In the books, Jacob figured it, but Sam, eventually, decides he won't start a war over something Bella did choose freely, despite Jacob's protests.  I hope he is as wise this time.

  Glad to see Adam is accepting, but it's not surprising.  Being in love with Leia and befriending most of the Cullens, it would be a little off otherwise. 

  Speaking of befriending the Cullens, how is Seth going?  :)
