I get why she feels that way.  I really do.  I hope that Daddyward can prove himself to her.  I just have to remember this isn't the end of the story.  I hope it doesn't take too long for them to get back together and move the burbs lol!

Hang in there!  I’m not done with these two yet!  Don't write them off - they're stronger and smarter than we think.

 

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

No!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are you saying Bella???????????????

I hope this door you are hidding behind it's strong enough, because now im not thinking very good things. Ok, just kidding i know you believe in HEA, so everything it's going to be ok in the end, they will suffer more previously but they can't be without the other, we read that: 7-8 months separate and they almost died

 

I love your story, but i cry like little Elisabeth almost on each chapter (you should invest on a tissues company, that would make a lot of money), it's very emotional and i like how you change POV and how Angela took an important role on this story.

Please, make Edward fight against the wall Bella is putting between the two of them.

 

Can't wait for the next update!

Hang in there!  I’m not done with these two yet!  I think your English is wonderful! 

 

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

good on you Esme, wise words.

Author's Response:

Esme definitely knows how to dole out the wisdom.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Hello, This is my mom's user name that I am under.  I am 18 I just don't have my own, I am not much on reading.  With that said, my mom begged me to read your story and so I did.  It is the best one I have read.  I was looking at alot of our reviews and they were so upset that Bella didn't just cave at the first apology.  I would just like to say, I am 18 and if I had to go through what Bella did, I would kick him in the baby maker.  I like that she did not just jump and say " I forgive you will you forgive me" and make Edward think that she did something wrong.  I mean she did, but only to Charlie and Angela.  Everybody else, wronged this girl and if she never forgives them. then you can't blame her.  But that would not make a good story so, I know that she will and that is fine, as long as she didn't at the first try he made.  So, just wanted to let you know I liked the chapter and I think I am gonna like what you do next!!!!!  And for those crying and wanting to tear you a new one.....find another story!!!!!!!!!  Real Simple

 

Author's Response:

Thank you for understanding why I went this way with the story.  You are right, there are a lot of upset folks right now, but honestly, this is just where I think Bella is at the moment.  She is protecting her heart and her child.  If she'd just forgiven him outright, it wouldn't feel very real, at least to me. 

I appreciate your review!  Thank your mum for letting you pop on and share your thoughts.

That was heart wrenching... But I loved it. And I can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Hang in there!  I’m not done with these two yet!  Next chapter is in queue!

 

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

I got teary reading about Edward meeting his daughter.  It was so sweet!

Author's Response:

Daddyward is a sight to behold.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

I would do the same thing, he can't expect to waltz inand make everything perfect again, he needs to learn a lesson and make her understand over time that his sticking around.

 Sometimes we get so hooked up in the fact that it's Edward and Bella rather than the actual relationship between two people.  If you step outside the square and look at what happened and pretend that they are nancy and joe and not E & B than I think some people would see it different.

Anyway enough of my rambling, hope someone understands what I said.....

Author's Response:

Thank you for understanding why I went this way with the story.  You make a great point above.  People are so invested in these particular characters, it's harder to be objective.

 

I appreciate your review!

dang. I need to quit reading this at work or people are going to wonder why I'm sitting in my cubicle crying.

Author's Response:

It should have a blanket *Do Not Read At Work* warning on it!

Thanks for reviewing!

I <3 Emmett POV.  He makes me laugh.

Author's Response:

Emmett is such a relieft, isn't he?

Thanks so much for reviewing!

*fans eyes so that mascara doesn't run*  That was a really good chapter.  can't wait for the next one.

Author's Response:

I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for reviewing!

Go back behind that door, you! You totally just made me tear up at work, and I swear I'm made of steel normally.

Author's Response:

Hang in there!  I’m not done with these two yet!  Sorry I forgot the "Do Not Read At Work" warning!

 

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Oh Pomme.  The whole chapter was intense. 

Your Angela is the best.  I loved the brief convo between Angela and Rosalie.  Angela tells Rosalie much of the same thing she has told other family members but Rosalie is able to process the information without the emotional guilt that the others carry.  When Angela talks with Edward her words are gentle but firm and leave me with a sense of hope that everything will eventually come out in the wash.

Esme's moment with Bella was almost spiritual in nature.  It damn near gives me shivers that Esme held Bella with all the love of a mother as Bella held Elizabeth with all her love.  The bonding moment was so intense.  The conversation they share is very sad but the fact that Bella is talking to her at all gives the reader a sense of hope.  Esme's answers are honest and from the heart and Bella, being the trusting soul that she is, is taking it all in.  She has so much to process and needs to set her own pace to do so.

If nothing else I leave this chapter with the sense that she will forgive but she will not forget and it is the forgetting that she needs to come to terms with.  In essence I guess it is the same as her love for Edward will always remain but the trust, yeah the trust.....   We know there will be an HEA because you told us there would be one when you asked us to trust you.  Now we just have to find a way to trust that you will fix this. 

Hmmm.  Spandex pants are doing a better job holding me together better than I thought possible.  Yes, well now to peel them off so I can pee.

Don't get spandex burns!

Yeah, the real issue here is trust.  She loves him, she probably already forgives him.  But trusting him will be far harder to come by.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

You need to get out of the witness protection program, and bring shirtless daddyward with you. We need him right here! And you too so you can keep writing this brilliant story.

I always thought that Edward got off to easy in New Moon, to easily forgiven. These two need to figure things out in their own time. And they will, I'm sure. A happy ending can be many things.

 

Author's Response:

Thank you for understanding why I went this way with the story.  It will have a happy flavoured happy ending, but it's not now.  This isn't the end.  But this is what felt organic at this point in the tale.

 

I appreciate your review!
