*THUD* The anticipation is KILLING me! Phew, I didn't cry. Thank goodness! But, oh god, I can't even imagine how the next chapter is going to go. I said this already in the thread, but I have a surprise for you Ellie looove! I just, can't tell you what it is until maybe 2-3 days from now, sigh. Hopefully you'll find out sooner. I know it may sound confusing, but just wait. I'm hoping it will make you smile at least a little because you are sooo deserving of it :)

I have a new goal! To get this story on the Most Reviewed list by the time it's finished! And since there are roughly 15+ chapters still waiting to be posted, I'm sure it's something that will more than likely happen. Look at your review count! *happy dance* I'm ecstatic for you!

Can't wait for your next update, too! Hopefully it's another speedy one because I'm chewing my nails off here!

OH MY GOODNESS!  I'm so curious and nervous and ... now I know how that cliffie made folks feel! 

And the Most Reviewed List?  Do you honestly think we can do that?  Jeez... I didn't even think this story was good enough to post!  That would blow my mind!  So much of this is because of you and your support and pom pom skillz.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I submitted 18 last night.  It should be up soon!

Oh my God! It was really, really good! I almost peed my pants!

LOL!  I submitted it last night.  Thank you for reviewing!

Ahhhhhh! She was pregnant - so she had the baby - oh what a cliffie!!! Now great - I won't be able to sleep until the next update :)

Author's Response:

LOL!  I submitted it last night and I do address the 'was'.  Thank you for reviewing!

AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!  This is killing me...plus i am a tad pissed that he has that whole betrayal thought going on.  he is just about to get his ticket punched on edward cullen screw up train of angst.  i am so praying you have submitted the next chapter.

Author's Response:

LOL!  I submitted it last night.  Edward is very confused right now, and reacting, rather than thinking.  Give him a little bit of a break for feeling like his family kept things from him.  They did.  Even if I don't agree with him having any right to feel betrayed, I can understand that he would.  Thank you for reviewing!

You left it like that?!?!  There better be a reason, like you said there is.  JK!  Can;t wait for the update though - I have to know what Edward does.

Author's Response:

LOL!  I submitted 18 last night and I do explain why I split them up.  Thank you for reviewing!

This chapter literally made my stomach hurt!  I can't wait to see how Edward is gonna react!

Author's Response:

You should see it soon!  I submitted the chapter last night.

Thank you for reviewing!

AAAHHHH!!!!!  You CANNOT leave it like that!  Evil!  Evil! :)

Hey, you got room behind that couch for a sad soul.  Shit now I know how Twilight Jasper feels.  So here I was at the edge of my seat waiting for the bomb to drop, you know my hand and wrist doing that circly thing like come on... 

Emmett's emotion was very strong for me.  It's like he wanted to beat the crap out of Edward but really wanted to believe E didn't know but if he did know then he'd have no choice but beat him up and throw him out of the plane.

Esme  could only cry and feel despair for what this is doing to her family and Bella and the unborn baby....her grandchild... yeah, her entire family.

Carlisle had the tough job of breaking the news...not knowing what to expect when he finished.  How would Edward take this?  As if he doesn't have enough stress.  

Alice can only sit there...sit and try to soothe him...be there for him...hope he won't sink back into himself so far he can't find his way out.

And Edward, achtaleeba (phonetic), what must be running through his mind.   I could literally feel the whole dry throat, can't swallow and the bile tries to come up and no matter what the feeling does not go away.  Poor kid just took a hit that he never saw coming and in his already weakened state.  Sure he knew something was up but certainly not this.  And surely he feels a sense of relief that she is not dead.  But still and he has to feel a great deal of self loathing right now.  So in his mind does he throw himself off the plane, so Emmett is off the hook?  Does he scream out things like BELLA! and What Have I done?  repeatedly and become feral in his actions as he paces like a caged animal?  Or does he retreated into himself so far that no one can reach him ...  lost to himself, lost to those who love him ... how will he ever help Bella from there?

I'll tell you what.  You go ahead and tay behidind that couch while I lay on it with a cool washcloth on my head as I ponder various outcomes.  I'll do my best to keep the emotional mob at bay.  In the the meantime you work on getting the next chapter posted okay?

You've really gotten the emotions down.  That is exactly where they all are and they *all* are deeply affected by this.  I am sure I'd be obsessing over Edward's potential reactions as well, if I didn't already know what it's going to be!  Don't worry, you will find out in short order!

I did submit 18 last night, so hopefully it will be up soon!

OMG I can't wait for the next chapter.

Thanks for updating regularly :D

I love it

Author's Response:

Please don't hate!  The next chapter will be out really soon! 

Thanks for reviewing!

Wow, that is a lot for him to take at one time. My heart breaks for Bella and Edward. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Author's Response:

I submitted it last night.  Thank you for reviewing!

I promise not to throw anything.  again I repeat my mantra...I trust pomme believes in happy endings.  Emmett was priceless here, I knew he wouldn't be able to hold back the anger.  Edward's self loathing is very believable.  I am interested to see his reaction to the news that she is/was pregnant.

Author's Response:

You should see really soon!

Emmett is trying *so* hard to hold it back, but it's so difficult for him!

Thank you for reviewing!
