I really enjoy this story. I am sad that it may come to an end. I love your Edward and Bella and their relationship. You write very well and have such a creative mind. Thank you for sharing with us.

Author's Response:

Thanks very much.  Story is very close to the end, but I'm so glad you've enjoyed it so far. 

You do a great job with this story! I like your version of the baby's birth and Bella's pregnancy better than SM's. 

 

Keep up the good work. I can't wait to read more!

Thank you very much!  Interestingly, Emma is one of the names on their list ... but we'll get to that in the next chapter.  I'm glad you're enjoying the story, and thanks for your review.

 

This chapter was so beautiful in all its details, windchime!  You created so many sweet little vignettes in this one, and I loved them ALL!  Shopping at the baby store ("Are you sure we don't need a bath with ergonomically designed grooves to support tiny hips?"  LOL!!!  That line had me cracking UP!!); Bella's negligee birthday gift; Edward's drawing of her; and that adorable soap bubble fight!!  Sigh.  It was all just so romantic.  And of course Edward's little "unworthy" moment.  You conveyed the emotion in that scene so well, and it was just SO EDWARD!  Queen of Keeping Edward in Character strikes again!

"Happy birthday to you ... "   Another deep whisper.  He took his hands from my breats and in a fluid movement, his blue pyjama pants were gone.  Just gone.  And he was all Edward, on his knees, above me.   Lips smiling, eyes too.  Hair tumbling.  And then, he reached up one hand and ran it through the bronze strands, pushing it out of his eyes.  I thought my heart was going to stop."

I always know I'm reading the work of an author who really knows how to write a good romance scene when my heart starts beating fast and I get butterflies in my stomach.  :-)

Hip, hip hooray for Bloodlines!!!  :-D

Author's Response:

Wow, Heathcliff, I don't know what to say.  Heart beats and butterflies!  A massive compliment, thank you so much.  Your reviews really mean a lot and I appreciate all your feedback.  Thanks again.

You put so much into your chapters I don't know where to start first.  First of all, am still loving this story. Your writing is stellar and I can't say enough about it. 

Thought it was so sweet that Edward and Bella celebrated the happy news about the previous healthy birth - alone.  They are are so sweet together and Edward couldn't be more tender with her.  I don't think I've ever read a story where their love and devotion shine through more.

Again it's so sweet to see Edward so excited about their baby. They were cute in the store and I felt so sad for him over the baby pouch. When he realized that he wouldn't be able to keep the baby warm. But again, Bella made him realize their are ways around that. I love that your Edward is less brooding.

And him buying her the bear that growled was just adorable, as was his telling her to squeeze Mr. Cullen so he would growl. I loved the way he "sang" happy b-day to her. Edward could sing happy b-day to me like that any time! 

The moments in Bella's bedroom were so tender, when he realized that she had bought that old book on the day he told her about George, just to try to understand him better.  His self doubts came out, but again Bella was able to make him realize that he does deserve her love.

And I almost cried right along with Bella when she found the drawing of herself that made her realize just how much Edward thinks she is beautiful.  Nice touch that she asked him to paint the mural in the babies room. 

And the stuff at Charlies house with them playing in the water was adorable. And Charlie hearing about that baby? I want to see how they're going to explain that. Really...this pregancy is progressing a bit faster than a normal one, if she's already showing a bit, how in the world is she going to convince Charlie it's a honeymoon baby?   Such a sweet moment when they felt the baby kick and they were both marveling over "their baby"  sigh...

As you can tell, I can't say enough about your writing, this story I think is amazing and one of my top favorite stories ever.  Can't wait for more...

Author's Response:

Wow, thank you so much!  :)    I'm really glad you're enjoying the story.  I'm pleased you like all the little details, I thought the picture was a way for Bella to see how Edward sees her, and the old book shows him how important he is to her - I'm glad that came through.  And yes, I think Edward could sing happy birthday to me like that any day, too!

Thanks again for your support and lovely words, it's very much appreciated.
