I'm glad Charlie and Carlisle have connected. Now let's see where it goes from there. I wonder what Edward will do when he finds out Bella is gone. And for gosh sakes, let Emmett hurry up and read his email!!! :-P

Author's Response: Patience, my friend. The big guy cometh! Edward is not going to like this, I assure you. He asked for it though. Thank you for reviewing!

It never came to mind when I was thinking of who would come next, but a joint Charlie/Charlisle POV chapter was the perfect next step. My only complaint is again Edward is being kept in the dark about the consequences of his stupid decision. He needs a good kick in the butt not being handled with kid gloves...at least in my opinion...lol. Anyway...*grin*...hmmm, who's up next? I'm thinking that Esme is a likely candidate, since Carlisle is planning to share this with her. Is Renee a part of this story? I can't remember hearing her mentioned. Although I'm not sure what she would have to add. *shrugs* Good chapter...thanks for posting so regularly! :)

Author's Response: I love the guesses! So many good ideas! Yes, *everyone* makes questionable decisions in this story, including the dads. It will all work out in the end. Renee is only mentioned in passing, alas. Thank YOU for reviewing so regularly!

Amazing Chapter......

Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing it!

The poor dads!  I felt so heartbroken after reading this........I want them to find her!  Ellie you are killing me! *bangs head repeatedly on desk*

I can't wait for more of this wonderful fic!

Author's Response: Aw, thank you girlie! The poor daddies are not doing well. Hopefully Carlisle can succeed where the police have not... Poor Charlie! Thank you for reviewing, girlie!

Boy is Bella ever going to be surprised when she realizes just how many people miss her.....

Author's Response: They all love her desperately and they will do whatever it takes. Thank you for your reviews!

I just found this story and I really enjoy it.  I can't wait to see who we hear from next.

Author's Response: Well, welcome and I am glad you found us! Thanks for reviewing!

This is a bit emotionally exhausting. Don't get me wrong...terrific writing, but, whew..I think I am going to go read a bit of fluff somewhere. The story, so far, is very raw and real. Thanks for an addictive spin on E/B.

Author's Response: Try writing it! I cry at almost every chapter! I had to write some crack fic smut to relax! I am glad you enjoy it enough to review! I appreciate it!

I love the story more every chapter. Thanks for your support and encouraging words on my story.  And of course thanks for my bot too. You are a rockstar.

Much love and hugs.

Author's Response: Thank you my sweetling! The story would be nothing without you guys giving me feedback! Thanks for reviewing!

That was a nice surprise. I won't venture to guess about who's up next, since I was so completely wrong last time...oh what the hell, I'll give it a shot. It's kinda fun to think about...

Let me see....a surprise would be Rose or Emmett, but I'm thinking Edward.

Thanks so much for the update.

Author's Response: Lol! Edward will be coming soon, but not next chapter. Surprises are good, right? Thank you for reviewing!

Amazing!  Another excellent chapter.  I did really want to hear from Emmett, but I can be patient now that you gave us such a great POV from the fathers.  I imagine fathers would have overwhelming feelings in such a situation, in pain because their families are torn up and feeling helpless to fix it.  You really captured that kind of emotion, so great work!  Can't wait for more - please don't leave us hanging long - now I'm getting really anxious for when Edward learns Bella is missing (I think Carlisle should tell the kids because I'm still feeling vengeful toward Edward for what he did & think he should suffer a little more, worrying & not knowing about Bella's welfare).

Author's Response: So much in this review to answer and I am on a Blackberry so forgive my brevity and typos! I am glad you liked the father's perspective. This story is about choices and their consequences and both men are dealing with theirs in this chapter. Thank you for reviewing!

I jumped! Yes I did! Thank you for another powerful chapter. Please update soon.

Author's Response: Yay for jumping! I will try to submit the next chapter by tomorrow.

Reviews are better than warm brownies and Cool Whip??!??! :O Ok, I guess I can see your point...but here are some brownies from me anyway. :)

I looooooved seeing it from the dad's POVs. Poor Charlie...his heart has been broken for 6 months and then he gets that email...you just about had my heart break when he traced the words on the computer screen...damn girl! And then he called Carlisle...thank goodness!!! It's about time they knew Bella was missing. I can only imagine how Edward will take this. Aaah!

I hope you know that your story is one of the FEW that I do a happy dance when I get the email saying its been updated...which is strange since this is a sad story at the moment. But I LOVE the story that much! Can't wait to read the next chapter! :)

Author's Response: What an awesome review! I am so glad my angst makes you happy! And yay for brownies! I know a lot of folks expected Emmett, so it is good to hear you liked hearing from the dads! Next chapter should be up soon.
