Esme is wise, Esme is good. And eloquent! and subtle.

 

Poor everybody - all the harm cause, all the harm felt. sigh.

 

moving forward, though - and now she's got to love on that little baby!!! 8)



Author's Response:

Oh, let's face it, Esme is da bomb!

Thank you so much for reviewing!

Oh such a sad chapter!  Everybody is so heart broken.

Sadward and Broken Bella.  Esme is beautiful.  I'm glad that she felt she had to pleed for her son, it is nice to hear her have faith in him and to ask Bella give him a second chance.  Enough with hanging the shit on Daddyward - it's time to mend this thing!

So Shirtless Daddyward again?!  Yes please!  Perhaps he and Bella can bath Elizabeth, this could possibly require som shirtless action yes?

Author's Response:

LOL!  Shirtless Daddyward is making quite the impact.  You will see him again before we are done with the story...

Thanks so much for reviewing!

I'm happy with this chapter. Real things happened and real conversations were had. I would still like the conversation with Edward and Bella though...but you are doing a very good job of stalling. It's not even making me anxious anymore. I'm just trying to see how long you will be able to hold out. I'm rooting for you to drag this out as long as you can...hehe. 8D



Author's Response:

I honestly am not purposely stalling... this is just the story that I hear in my head!  It's so hard because it seems like she's been awake for months, but it's only been about 48 hours.  That's a lot to take in in such a short time!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Author's Response:

I am so glad I brought a smile to your face!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: KelseyJane (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 11:32 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Oh Esme. That woman has a way with words. It's going to take Edward and Bella a very long time to get back to the way things used to be. But they are strong and love each other like no other and they'll make it through this. If not, well, I'm gonna shoot Edward. Or at least, get in line to do so. Great chapter!



Author's Response:

LOL!  Don't shoot Shirtless Daddyward!  He's trying!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: azafrinah (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 11:30 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Thank you, again.

I hope that in the end everything will be all right, but not yet!(He have to pray, beg, grovel etc.  that in the end Bella will take him back!)

I just love this story SO MUCH! Everytime you have write another chapter I feel like it is time to open a christmas present. lol!

So THANK YOU!



Author's Response:

I am so glad you're understanding why I am taking this route with the story.

Thank you so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: HopeStreet (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 11:27 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

It's so sad that they can't speak with one another.  I can understand how that is too much of a step for Bella, no matter how much she would like to include Edward.  I think she needs the time to work through some things in her head bedore she is strong enough to talk to Edsward.



Author's Response:

I just think she needs to absorb a little.  It seems like she's been awake for weeks, but it's been less than 48 hours and it's a lot to come to terms with. 

Thank you so much for reviewing.

Reviewer: JW11 (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 11:01 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Both Angela and Esme's Pov this chapter were beautifully written.



Author's Response:

I am glad you enjoyed their points of view.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: msbull (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 11:01 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Outstanding.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: LJ Summers (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 10:32 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Your Angela is the best.  Really and truly. I so admire her determination and heart.

I am appreciating how you've got Edward and Bella working their way back to each other. It hurts. It's painful, but I see a slow circling that should yield results.  Eventually. That's the only way to heal from this kind of heartbreak.

Beautiful, as always.



Author's Response:

I am so glad you like this Angela.  She's strong but compassionate and tells the truth even when it hurts.  I admire her.  I am also so grateful that you understand why I am writing the story this way.  We can't just throw them back together and everything will be hunky dunky.  This kind of trauma doesn't solve overnight.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: Kiwibeme (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 10:27 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

I love Esme!!! She is like June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson rolled into one! I love what she told Bella. It was so honest and real. I hope Bella puts as much weight behind it as I did. She has to see that Edward still loves her. I just can't wait until they talk to each other. I expect to have my heart ripped out and left beating on the floor...it can't all be "lets kiss and make-up" at first can it?

I love it and can't wait to read more. I find myself checking for updates daily. The suspense kills me! I have also recommended this story to several friends...all of which later called me crying and cursing me for spreading the addiction! =)



Author's Response:

Wow!  I am so honoured you are enjoying this story so much and have told others about it!  Esme gave Bella so much to think about - we can only hope Bella can absorb and accept it.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Reviewer: silly sad sarah twilighted (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 10:21 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Squee!!!  Sniffle POUT!  I was happy about the conversations sad that we didn't get more Band E time and pout because I want more and I want it now but I can wait I love the story its very good and deep it affects so many in so many ways!



Author's Response:

There is definitely more to come!  I am so grateful for all of your support!

Reviewer: lyleslove (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 10:17 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

beautiful esmom moment... le sigh... love this story so so so much!



Author's Response:

Esme is such a great role model!

Thank you so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: april09 (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 10:10 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Angela is so smart--it really is an issue of trust not love.  I definitely still think there is a lot of hope here...especially since Edward realizes just how much he fucked up AND his family realizes their part in all of it too. 

Bella definitely isn't the sort of person who would cut all the family out of Elizabeth's life!



Author's Response:

This is *all* about trust, and, IMO, Esme is right.  Trust can be earned.  But there is a lot of damage to overcome here.  No, I can't see Bella cutting them off from Elizabeth.  She already knows what it's like to be missing a parent.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: MustangMel1968 (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 10:03 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

It's time for them to become a family!



Author's Response:

I wish they would too!  Not long now!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: pink_photographer (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 10:00 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

GAH when are Edward and Bella just going to get back together?! :(



Author's Response:

Alas, they have so much to work through, but we're getting there quickly now!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: icrodriguez (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 09:59 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Ok....DYING for the big talk now. Seriously, I'm beyond famished for it. The suspense is killing me. 

Btw, “Did… did you… did he… anyone… even miss me?” broke my heart in two.

Again and again, it’s just more beauty to the canvas.

Bravo.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for all of your support for both Not Like This and ...Becomes the Swan.  Your reviews are always so wonderful and so appreciated!

Reviewer: sherylb (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 09:53 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

So so sad....so much hearbreak.. I do hope that,Bella will take Esme's advice....



Author's Response:

Esme definitely gave her some things to think about!  Thank you so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: missingbrinly (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 09:52 PM · On: Chapter 1 - The Beginning of the End

Well I can't wait to read the next chapter, even though I'm not looking forward to Edward leaving!

You've got me hooked already!



Author's Response:

Reviewer: Zoey0223 (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 09:39 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

God, they're both in such a royaly fucked up (excuse my french) situation. I don't think I could do it...



Author's Response:

It's not a pretty picture, but there is hope.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: AJ04 (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 09:38 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

It's great to hear that Edward is going to man-up and try everyday to gain back Bella's trust. *Go Edward!* Ahh Bella, Bella, Bella, poor girl has alot to deal with. So much pain, and not enough self confidence. I do believe she will do right by Elizabeth and at least let Edward try to be there but it definatly will take time.



Author's Response:

They have so much healing to do.  Both of them have a lot of work ahead.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: AstonMartin823 (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 09:33 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

I love them tag teaming them! They needed to hear it!  Good chapter.



Author's Response:

They definitely needed to!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Reviewer: krisandrob (Signed) · Date: October 26, 2009 09:32 PM · On: Chapter 42 - Trust and Faith

Well they both have their work cut out for them but i know their love will  prevail.



Author's Response:

They do have so much to work through!  Just have faith!

Thanks so much for reviewing!
