First off I just wanted to thank you for writing the story in my heart way better than i could have. I love the way you let bella and jacob be people and fall in love. Edward and bellas relationship always seemed so high school to me with all the high highs and lows it was just so dramtic and thats why i felt it wouldn't last. To have a happy life you need balance and they never had that even in the end. you also need trust and love. I  am biase, i compare my husband to jake he is love and light and fun. i love how you managed to stay so close to the original version and wound around it. all the same things happen but so differently. Jacobs dream about the birth made me laugh it seems so unreasonable, like alternet univerase.

I would love to see how colage and life unford and when jacob stops shifting and they have a family. i just feel thats you are so right on. the what could have flows so well, i dont' know if i will ever look at the books or the movies in the same way.

thanks again for writing!!!!

Thank you so much for your awesome review.  I really do appreciate it.  I wanted to write a story where you can see how the characters fall deeper and deeper in love.  But, it's not always ice cream and puppy dogs.  Real life, real love has issues...and not just the stalker, obssessive, controlling issues that B/E's relationship had in the books. ;)  Anyway, I have lots more planned for this story.  I look forward to hearing your feedback on future chapters. :)

Again, poor Edward, but now I feel better that Alice has for seen happiness on the horizon for him. As for Jacob, I don't think there are words to describe him, just that he truly embodies ALL the characteristics of the perfect man, and here everyone was thinking it was Edward who was perfect, they've seen nothing yet.

 

Thanks for replying to all my reviews, I love seeing what your responses are. You have a great talent, thank you so much for sharing it with the rest of us. Louise.

Hi Louise,

I respond to every review, because I want to show how much I really appreciate you guys taking the time to leave a comment.  I know that it can be annoying, and most people don't do it...but, I thrive off of them.  So, thank you.

And, yeah, Edward's situation is pretty sad.  But, it's always been my intention to give him the opportunity for a happily ever after.  I don't think Bella was ever a right match for him...at least not the one in the books.  My ideal woman for Edward is one that will challenge him, whip him into shape.  And trust me when I say, I have the perfect woman in mind.

Anyway, thanks again.

Erin

They're not have much luck are they? First Phil and now Seth, poor Seth. At least he'll have a good dream tonight.

Author's Response:

I know...someone's always making a mess of their alone time together.  Poor Seth!  You can't unsee that!

Douche-wad, classic. 

Although I'm totally Team Jacob all the way I do feel a little sad for Edward.

Author's Response:

Yes, Edward is a total Douche.  But, I'm glad you do feel a little sorry for him.  Unlike a lot of stories that villify Jacob, I'm trying to be a little more fair to Edward.  Yes, he's made bad mistakes, but he's not evil.  He loves Bella, and now he's lost her.  I think he deserves a little pity, even if he did bring it all on himself. :)  Thanks again for taking the time to review so many chapters. Erin

I think I might have to have a break from it though, my kids are getting impatient and hungry. I to am wwwaaaayyyyyyyyyyy to old for this but absolutely love, love, LOVE this story. GO TEAM JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Author's Response:

It's always so nice to hear from fellow Team Jacob members.  There aren't enough of us on this site.  I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far.  I really appreciate your feedback.

While reading this I had a thought, what about the Volturi? Am very interested in seeing what happens with that.

Author's Response:

Don't you worry...I have plans for the Volturi.  They'll make an appearance...maybe a few. ;)  Thanks for leaving yet another review.  I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

Ok so i just went and saw New Moon again and now I really really need a jacob/bella fix.  It was so sad to see Jacob upset again.  All I could think was "come on bella pick jacob."  And when she didn't I need some j/b stories.  Just thought I'd let you know and know that I'm waiting for your next update and until then I'l reread this story.  :)

Author's Response:

Trust me, I have the same, exact reaction towards the movie as you do.  It's sad, because I think it's far better than Twilight, yet it doesn't end the way we want it to.  Thank you for keeping tabs on me.  I'm now in the revision stage of the next chapter.  So, with a little help from my beta, I hope to post a chapter sometime next week.  Plus, I already have a lot of ideas for the following chapter...so hopefully you won't have to wait too long for that one either.  Anyway, thanks again for following up.  Erin :)

Hey
I like how you put in what really happens in the book but put in a form of a nightmare for Jacob.
I'm just waiting for the Volturi to come because now matter how much i love Jacob. Aro owns my heart now since i have seen Michael Sheen play him. He is just so dark and alluring. Do you know of any good Aro stories on thie website cause im having a hard time finding decent Aro stories.
This has to be one of the best Jacob x Bella stories i have ever had the pleasure of reading. Keep up the good work.

Author's Response:

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your review.  I've tried to stick closely to the original series, only w/my own take on how things should have gone.  I'm glad you're enjoying it.  I definitely have plans for the Volturi, don't worry about that.  I'm actually working on the next chapter as we speak.  So, hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the next update.

I do have an Aro story recommendation for you.  One of my fellow Jacob/Bella Chronicles contributors wrote a one-shot about Aro.  It's pretty steamy.  Check it out...it's called "The Mind's Eye," by diamondheart.

Happy reading.  Until next time...Erin

:O

Author's Response:

I know, right?  ;)  I hope you enjoy the next chapter too...and then you'll be all caught up! :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I DON'T WANT TO FINISH NOW!! IT MAKES ME SO NERVOUS!! NOOOO!!! D:

Author's Response:

I know, I know...this chapter was pretty harsh.  But TRUST me...keep reading.  I think you'll find it's more than worth it. :)  Thank you againn for reviewing.

yay! I love the way you are handling the Alpha Jake thing. How the packs split and yet were able to work it out. and now it looks like you're heading towards possibly uniting them? I must admit I LOVE me some Alpha Jacob, and I love reading stories where he takes on the responsibility of his heritage. I feel that your story has one of the better 'natural course of events' with this issue out of all the ones I've read here. Keep up the good work!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your review.  I love Alpha Jake too.  I like seeing how he balances his duty/love/priorities.  I think it's a great facet to his character, one that I will be exploring more fully later on.  I'm glad you like how my story has played out so far.  I'm working on the next chapter as we speak.  Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the next udpate.  Anyway, thanks again.

I love this series!  I just found it about a week ago and have already read the entire thing thus far.  Can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your review.  I'm so glad you're enjoying this story.  I've been working hard on plotting out the remaining chapters and I'm really excited about it.  I look forward to hearing more from you.  Thanks again.  Erin
