Loved it  - the centre sounds amazing - and the lemon was pretty hot too!!!! :0)

Author's Response:

Edward is amazing, so it stands to reason that the centre would be too. And they have amazing support. Glad you liked the lemon... my beta gets all jazzed when I write lemons. Thanks for reading.

I am looking for a chapter when Edward has moved on from Tanya. He is still there and so is his family. I have been there before. At one point or the other the new girl needs to be the only one we talk and think about.  There is not room in a relationship for two lovers dead or alive.

Author's Response:

I BELEIVE YOUR AT THAT CHAPTER, THAT ONE AND THE NEXT... HE HAS A MOMENT WHEN IT ALL JUST FALLS INTO PLACE FOR HIM. 

Was it Lewis Grizzard who said naked is having no clothes on - nekkid is having no clothes on and being up to something!   I've always loved that - so evocative of the southern innuendos.  So, when Edward said nekkid I just thought it was marvelous. :D

I know nothing about autism and children with learning or emotional problems, but I do know how extrordinarily difficult it can be to find and afford any help for mental illness and the like.  Usually, if you find some help it's only for a limited time which I find fascinating;  as if it will just go away in that finite amount of time.  A centre like the one in your story would be a Godsend to many, many cities and towns across the country.  How fantastic for two people with complimentary interests and goals to find each other and work towards something so meaningful and useful.  Kudos to you in your real life and to your characters. :)

As always the lemony goodness was chock full of heat - it melted the meringue. ;)  Somehow I don't think those two will mind cleaning it up... .

Looking forward to more and thanks again!

Thankfully we have centre's for austims and developmental disabilities, and for people with mental illness. But even here it's can sometimes be a bitch to get things rolling Thanks so much for reading, as always, I love hearing from you. I've been working on fine tuning the next few chapters before I send the next to beta. I'd like to be a few a ahead of you guys so the wait, once they're ready for my beta isn't so long in between. I'm writing chapter 29 now. I' like to get to 30 before I send her 28. 

Happy fan-ficing

Way to go Charlie, giving love to Alice. Her parents were jerks. Papa Swan just adopted another daughter. Lots of couple celebrating going on tonight. Good thing Esme's not calling Edward to let him know they know Bella is the one and she and Carlisle love her.  Wouldn't be appreciated by him right now.  There would be two Cullen men pretty frustrated and upset. I think both ladies would rather enjoy alone time with their men too now.

Author's Response:

Lovin' all around tonight! And no, I think Carlisie might be forever pouty if Esme went off to call Edward. Thanks for reading and thank you for stopping over to give a little love to EIK. 

~Jen

looking forward to more 

Author's Response:

I just tweaked the next chapter and sent it off for the first beta run. Hope to get it out to you next week. Thanks oodles for reading and for throwing a little love at EIK.

"Doctor Raimi's coat closet!"  I was snickering for a while over that one. :)  Esme and Carlisle are just too much fun.  Poor Esme, she evidently has a better relationship with Edward than most mothers if she thinks he would have listened to her about Tanya.  With most parents, you get the exact opposite of the advice you give in those type of instances. 

Love your version of Charlie.  He's just delightful.  If he gets to know Alice much more and gives her more of that 'papa bear' behavior he may just end up walking her down the aisle.  If I remember correctly he did that for Rosalie Lillian ;)? 

As for the rest *fanning myself* - very, very hot.  Though if I were Alice I'd kill Jasper. :P  You know, from what I understand disinfectant in some areas really, really stings.  Hee, hee. 

I told one author that I didn't want to bug her for updates because in my experience nothing bred resentment and obstruction like constant harassment and badgering.  I was assured that it was not the case in this instance.  (Of course, I hadn't badgered her, either... .)  Soooo, please more updates/chapters soon?  Please?  :D

Love it as always,

Ginger

Author's Response:

Ah, Ginger...christ I love you and you wonderful reviews! Charlie always seemed (canon wise) like such a protective being. Such a Dad. He might be awkward about it sometimes, but he's so very much a Dad. He's become one to Rose and now he's taken Alice under his wing. I love him. No judgement, just fatherly love. And he didn't walk Rosie down the ailse, but he was there front and centre, parked with the family.Her father gave her away. In my head it was the last "fatherly" act she'd let him have. She'd stopped trying to be his little girl, because now she had Em and Charlie in her life. She she gave her father that and then walked away. I don't think I went into such detail here, but that's the way it went down in my head. i'd chosen not to build up too much reagrding that issue because this story is main a B and E story.

And you're not badgering in way. You know I fucking love hearing from you guys, so don't ever stop. And I'm still working on the chapter. We've caught up to where I am, so there isn't anything that's pre-written and just needing tweaks an editting. You'll be getting it hot offthe press so to speak.

Wet, sloppy kisses

I can't speak for the entire US, but when my sister got served, she had moved out a couple months prior. In Connecticut, we have a no-fault divorce, meaning you don't have to prove WHY you want a divorce. It was settled in one morning of negotiations.

Author's Response:

Lucky for your sister. In Canada we like to drag it out and the judge can call us into court at anytime to give reason/justification for it. THANKS FOR READING:)

HEY...READING YOUR STORY IN NAPA, CA. THANKS!

Author's Response:

Well Hello Choices from Napa, welcome to the story, glad to have you!!!

~MissJanuary

Lord, I love your A/N's!  I was snickering before I even started the chapter.

I'm going to end up writing this review as I read because I'm scared I'll forget something.  How dedicated and, um, creepy is that? :)  I loved the wedding dress fate.  It reminded me of one of my favorite shows - Mythbusters - where if you do it right, you blow it up. :D  And Bella's comment about 'smoke and mirrors'?  Any chance that was a tiny reference to the FF?  'Cause you know Deb would love that.

"I don't know what's worse, your father walking in, possibly toting a gun, or my mother. Nothing like seeing your baby boys head clutched between milky white thighs."  ROFLMAO!! :))  It was the 'milky white thighs' that did me in!

I'm going to have to look into some stories about Jasper and Alice.  I'll probably be disappointed because the interest is coming from what you're doing with them in this story.  The by-play between them in the car was intriguing and made me want to know more. 

Ah, how I love your Rose and Emmett - and their interaction with the Chief. :)  It was good to have a little insight into Charlie's mind as well.

Honestly, I've got to stop commenting on every part of this or this will be an epic, but if I ever run into anyone like Carlisle and Esme I'm going to wet my pants and probably spew a drink like Bella.  This also puts a whole new light on Edward as far as most stories treat him.  It's hysterical and I love it!  I was 'laughing like a loon' too.

That was a fascinating proposal. ;)  Like Rose, I was thinking, 'uh-oh, steer to the side!  Iceberg ahead!', but he was quick with the save.  Bet POV's from everyone on that little scene would be a riot.  Still, Alice would no doubt forgive him almost anything and say 'yes.'

Well, for a bitch of a chapter I sure enjoyed it.  The different POV's were fun and kept the pace quick.  I liked getting into the heads of some of the other characters for a bit of insider information on their views. Fun, fun, fun.

Now I've got to go listen to some music. :)  Thanks for all the hard work and, as usual, I'd like another chapter, oh, now.  :D

You rock,

Ginger

Author's Response:

High five for the Mythbusters! I love that show. And no smoke and mirrors was nt a ref to another fic. But if its one of Deb's I'll llikely end up reading it at some point. I'm glad everyone seems to be getting a good chuckle out this chapter. Feels somehow vindicating when there's any love for something that gave you such a hard time. It's funny, I always have an idea of what I want in the chapter, but I never know who's going to do most of the talking until I'll seating their witht the keyboard in my lap. 

Thanks oodles for support!! I need more readers like you. YOU ROCK!

~JEN 

Loved the chapter with all the POV's.  All the lovey dovey between all the couples especially Edward and Bella.  Just can't get enough of each other.  Charlie being happy with Edward being in love with his daughter.  Happy for his little girl.  Finally getting a man who adores her.  Laughed so hard with Esme's POV and Edward's first drunken adventure. Especially tidbits being added in by Carlisle.  So cute.  My husband wanted to know what I was laughing about.  Jasper's proposal was unique and sweet.  Just perfect for the two of them Jasper and Alice so cute together.  Rose and her mouth.  Gotta love a mouthy woman once in a while.  Especially when she's telling Emmett (crude one) off.  Good all around chapter.  Great party at Bella's everyone having a wonderful time.  Only part a little sad was Bella and not her heart's desire, a baby.  She's got Baby Cheney to hold for now.  I'm fairly sure Edward will give her one some time in the future.

Author's Response:

It was a pain in my curvy backside to write, but I have to say, after reading it over, it really does feel like you're floating around this party. So it's a win. Thank you for taking the time to toss a little love at EIK. 

~Jen

US depends on state and whether or not you live in a 'no-fault' state. Lovely chapter. I enjoyed reading the other POVs.

Author's Response:

Thanks bunches, I wasn't sure people would be able to follow it, but it seems to a win. Thank you for reading and for taking the time to toss a little love at EIK.
