Author's Response:

Thank you very much!

This story is great.  So much better than the orginal.  I cant wait for the next chapter to see what was in the letter.

thanks

Loved this chapter it put me in a good mood which was good cause I had a bad day and was about to have a bad weekend. Can't wait to see them go shopping for baby things and can't decide what way I'd prefer it. Funny or sweet. lol It's all up to your genius writing skills. Can't wait for the next chapter. :)

Author's Response:

Thanks very much, I'm glad you liked it.  How about both - sweet and funny?  I'm glad the chapter put you in a good mood and I hope your weekend is going to be okay.

You've done it again.  May i crown you with the title of, "Queen of Keeping Edward in Character"?  The way you show Edward totally makes me fall in love with him even more (if that's possible).  It's SO nice to see Edward get the happy experience of planning for a baby, in opposition to the hell he went through in Breaking Dawn.  One of my issues with BD is that, even after Renesmee is born and Edward loves her, that father-daughter relationship is never really established or developed.  You have already picked up on all of those fatherly emotions I was looking for from BD, and the baby's not even born yet!  I cannot wait to see what a good father you portray him to be after the baby is born.  Seeing Edward this happy makes ME happy!!

I don't think I need to mention how exceptionally well written it is as this point (I've gushed over that before!).  Loved the ultrasound scene and the hot chocolate maker in this chapter.  Oh, and I have to tell you the line from Isle Esme that REALLY got me going:  "I want to do that."  Mmmm... ;-)

Great job! :-)

Author's Response:

Thanks very much,  I really appreciate your comments and am very flattered by my title, thank you!! :)

Originally, Bella was going to drop the nightgown all herself, but then I thought Edward might want to get involved - I'm glad you liked that part (I did too).

ok, i usually don't criticize but the whole cullen family would have heard the conversation in edward's bedroom. so its not like it was a total shock. other than that loved the chapter. like that you are making this a slightly better than SM because i felt bad that edward didn't have that wow moment when learning about bellas pregnancy. Also i'm very curious about what Carlisle said to Edward.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review.  I guess if the other Cullen's are busy concentrating on their activities and not actually focusing on conversations taking place elsewhere in the house, they might not actually have heard.   And yeah, Edward needed to feel a bit WOW about the whole thing.  As for what Carlisle said to Edward, we may never know - that was between them.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. JUST.....BEAUTIFUL.

I am in awe at how seamlessly you managed to incorporate in ONE chapter the wedding, the honeymoon, and now planning for the baby. AMAZING! 

NEVER, not once, did anything ever feel rushed or forced. Every single scene was laced with so much love and excitement that by the end I was all smiles. It made my heart happy. 

*The ultrasound: wonderfully written. Hearing the heartbeat was a particularly lovely way of conveying the emotional element of the moment. 

*The wedding: just enough was covered to not let it dominate the chapter. All gorgeous details.

*Isle Esme: Bella standing in the moonlight as her nightgown began to fall off of her was a very beautiful and erotic moment. And the romance of that moment was palpable.

*Hot Chocolate: fantastic way of tying in the present with the past. Very cute.

*Planning for Baby Cullen: I swooned when Edward stated that planning for the baby was going to be "theirs". Just a wonderful way for Edward to claim his and Bella's role in what's happening to them. This scene served to illustrate just how excited and ecstatic they are about the baby. What a relief!

*Siboahan's Letter: For a brief moment my heart stopped as Edward let the pages fall. But THANK YOU for rescuing that scene from what could've been utter agony. I

I also need to thank you for allowing our beloved B&E the luxury of actually being happy and, at long last, peace. 

And so now a couple of questions: first, you ARE going to give us an EPOV chapter or epilogue, right? I know you love us too much to be so cruel as to not! PLEASE! Second, how many more chapters are left? I keep cringing every time I come to a new chapter, terrified that it's the last. 

And btw, I love how LONG this chapter was. You love us! YOU REALLY LOVE US!

 

 

 

Author's Response:

Thank you so much.  I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter - yes, Edward is definitely going to keep Alice in check on this one, he wants to experience and savour every part of this adventure with Bella. 

I know I've said this before, but I really think there'll only be one or two more chapters.    But ... yes, there will be an Edward epilogue - an Edilogue!  It might take a while though - I don't think writing from his point of view will come easily for me, but we'll see.  I'd rather take my time and feel that I've got it right.

Thanks again for your reviews - they always bring a huge smile to my face and I appreciate every one of them very much.

I have LOVED LOVED LOVED reading this...in all honesty, no joking, i think this version is better than BD....way better bc Edward gets to share in the joy of the pregnancy...

You are a terrific writer!! i would read any fiction you write. Bravo!

(Btw, I didn't know Bella et al were British LOL)

Author's Response:

Thanks very much.  I'm really flattered that you like my version of the pregnancy so much!

Oops, I don't mean for Edward and Bella to sound British - are you referring to some of my word choices (like undies, jumper and torch?)   I'm Australian and we share a lot of words with the British.  I've tried to make a point of using Americanisms where I can, but I guess sometimes I just forget.

Awww! I love this chapter! Fluffy, and no drama. :)

And, I love Emmett! Seriously. 'World's Second Greatest Uncle'! I can't stop laughing about that.

Author's Response:

Thanks very much - it was time for fluff.

great job loved it...ud soon
