just finished hcv and it made me laugh cry angry and feel all warm and fuzzy too all the things a good story should make you feel ive read alot of good stories on twilighted and yours is one of them hcv is tied for first with fridays at noon (if you havent read it do its amazing) hope to see more from you thanks for your hardwork and heart you put into this 

Um, I have to point a majorly huge thing that bothered me in this chapter. When they went to Midnight Sun and Edward ordered wine? It's not true that alcohol is safe during pregnancy; even a small amount, just once, can cause fetal alcohol syndrome. Not sure if you're aware of that or not, but I was shocked to see that in there. I just hate the idea of anyone thinking alcohol during pregnancy is safe.

Other than that...I liked Edward's proposal, except for the fact that it was a little long. Oh, and I knew as soon as Esme said she had something for Edward, I knew what it was! Cause she's awesome like that. ;)

Wow, the adults in this story are majorly effed up. I mean, I know that real life can be just as cruel, but I've never wanted to hit so many people so badly. I was undecided on whether or not Paul would actually be able to make off with Bella or not, but I did consider that he might be successful, at least briefly. I only just realized how much older Tanya is than Edward. Either she looks young, and/or she's just a good enough actress to make him disregard anything that might seem suspicious. BTW, still waiting for Edward to propose. :p

Love Jane, hate Rosalie(dude, really??), I have to say, I kind of agree with Edward that Billy didn't try maybe as hard as he should have. I did suspect that Edward And Tanya were not dead; totally conspiracy theorist sort of thing, but it didn't fit. And the phrasing you used when talking about it...it just didn't seem right. I only briefly entertained the idea of the twins being Edward's, but Leah wasn't computing well into that equation, and I've had a hard time following your timeline, so I dismissed the idea pretty quickly. Gonna be interesting to see how all this goes down.

It'll definitely be interesing to get her POV on things. I think I'll always prefer Edward's POV more, in any story, but I like being able to get both sides. Oh, and don't let Edward got to jail or anything, okay?

Wow, expensive Christmas! Poor Emmett, though, to be spending the holidays this way. Rosalie needs to straighten her act up. This is insane. Still getting used to calling him Emmie, though...so weird, lol. I'm glad to see Esme and Bella getting close. I don't think I could handle it if they didn't get along, too.

Aw, that was really sad! I'm still kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop, though. I mean, there's no way we've seen the last of Alice and Rosalie and their snide, thoughtless comments. Not to mention Sue. Gosh, I can only imagine what that might entail. Is it really legal for Emmett to give Bella legal guardianship of the kids with Sue not around? I mean, doesn't she have to agree to it, since, in theory, she's still living?

Wow, I didn't expect it to be that bad. I mean, okay, she lied, but she had to. Edward has to know that. And dude, really? It's not like she's underage! What's the big deal?? You know, for someone so messed up, he really has an acute conscience. A very confused one, but acute nonetheless. Up until that point, I thought this chapter was really cute, and much lighter than past chapters, which was a nice change. Now I'm worried we're back to angsty and rough, big time.

Totally personal. I have my suspicions as to the culprit, but once more, I'm keeping them to myself, at least for now. Though, I must say, as a veteran donater to Locks of Love, there is no way she could have cut off 15 inches and still had her hair in the middle of her back. I am also 5'2", and I always do 10-12 inches at a time, and I go from my shoulder blades to my chin. Her hair would have to be more floor length for 15 inches. Anywho, having trouble picturing that one. As for Thanksgiving, I'm sensing...complete disaster. Even before learning the chapter title.

Holy crap. You made me want to b*tch-slap Alice. And I have never wanted to do that before. I really hope she doesn't continue acting this way. But really, wow, that was quite the spectacle. I didn't expect Bella to be there, but I was astounded at the way that they were talking about her. Kind of disappointed that Carlisle didn't step in and try to shut his daughters up. I mean, really, they're his kids, you'd think he'd have been able to raise them better, or at least hold some position of authority with them.

Edward teaching her how to read is unbelievably cute. I'm loving those scenes. Didn't love hearing how he was bullied in school(sore subject), but it was nice to get a look inot his past. Kinda upset with Alice; used to Rosalie, so she's not so bad, though I do hope she maybe felt or at least acted a tiny bit remorseful after yelling him when he was in the hospital. Still don't understand his issues with Esme, she seems like she's treated him well. Love Emmett more than ever. Would definitely like to understand Bella a bit more. Can't believe it's only chapter 10...feels like more, for some reason. I'll use that as an excuse for my impatience.

I hate to say it, but Bella seems kind of stupid. And I don't mean just because of her book learning, though it is a little odd that she can be so good with numbers, never having gone to school, but not know her letters. But other things, too. I feel almost as frustrated as Edward is, wondering what's wrong with her, what happened.

I think it would be hard for anyone to read this and NOT be mad at Edward. I mean, really. Dude. I know he's jaded and all, and his life sucks, but wow. And um, control freak, much? Things don't go the way he had them all planned out, nice and perfect, and suddenly he's in a snit with everyone and everything, and everybody hates him. Poor Edward, all taken advantage of. Seriously, dude, man up. Little self-centered, are we?
