AAAAHHHH!!!!  How can you do this to us???? Ur evil! U are so lucky you can hide in cyberspace!!!

Gawd I love big daddy C!  We don't get to hear from him often in the fanfics and he is loving and caring and oh yeah HAWT!

Please don't make her wake up as soon as she hears his voice.  I need more angst and Edward needs to suffer a little more in this new personal hell.  I know I am a little horrible for this but Edward needs to pay.

Bella has to be strong! She has to stand some ground and let him feel her pain. I know they were both in pain but she also had to live with the growing child in her tummy.  In a time that she should have been so happy, to an extent since they are still in high school but still, she should have had Edward there with her figuring things out. I know that she still loves him but she needs to lock that up for a little while at least.

Ok, so the stand off is next... Charlie will flip.  He will scream and yell and cry, this is gonna be bad.  I was barely able to read through Carlisle's POV.  I hate that Charlie will probably be horrible to Esme.  I hope that he can see through his anger and grief, understand that right now they all need to be one and pull Bella and the baby through.  Is it really a good idea for Emmett to be there.  I mean, Charlie is gonna completely FLIP OUT and he will most likely take it out on Em! 

Which brings me to thank you for Emmett's role in this story.  He is just so awesome.

How is Jasper going to fit into this?  Maybe he will be the one to help mend Bella's heart and bring her back to Edward? I really want to believe that Bella won't cave too easily. Jasper already feels the guilt for supposedly being the cause for their break up and this will help fix that.

So many questions... so little answers... so much speculation!

Author's Response: I absolutely LOVED reading your theories! Thank you! Some were close and some were off, but all will be answered. BTW, you will get some answers on Jasper in the next chapter.

Poor Bella.  Bringing new life into the world is an emotional, stressful time as it is and to add complete and total heartbreak on top of it is...ugh.  I know you said there was an HEA and I totally trust your vision of the story, so I only hope both Bella and the baby come out of this in good health, both mental and physical.

Looking forward to the next update and keep up the good work.

Author's Response: There will be an HEA and there will be healing, but there are miles to go before we get there. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Oh dear goodness. Broken heart syndrome breaks my heart. The sorrow, the pain, the angsty goodness...this chapter has it all. Thanks for the update, great chapter (per usual).

Author's Response: Aw, thanks! Poor Carlisle. Poor Bella! It is just such a hard chapter.

oh. my. God. i haven't cried while reading a fanfic, like, ever. fan-freakin-tastic.

Author's Response: Wow! Thanks so much for the compliment and the review!

I am crying my eyes out, and I love it. Next chapter please :D

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I will get the next one out soon!

I need more. Need it. Crave it. (wow, that sounds a lot creepier than I intended it.)
Just so you know, I've been pimping your story out on LJ. Because it rocks, and deserves even more reviews than it has.
Thanks for a great story, I want more of those 12 chapters!

Author's Response: Wow! Thanks for the pimpage! I am so grateful! Of course I will get another out soon!

*looks in kitchen cabinets*

what to throw...what to throw...

canned soup...no

box of minute rice...no

marshmellows...no, i threw soft stuff last time and look what she went and did!

I know!

*Picks up 5lb bag of sugar*

Maybe this will help remind her to put a bit of sweetness into her next update.

"Oh Pomme....DUCK!

Thanks for updating :-)

Oh and funniness aside, I don't remember how far along Bella is, but can't they take the baby/wouldn't they take the baby, once they knew that the lungs were mature enough. There is a test that can tell them that, and not having to support the baby's life and her own, might make recovery go more rapidly.

Author's Response: That will be addressed. Good point! At this time, they don't know if taking the baby will improve her condition so they are just waiting it out a bit. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Heartbreaking, but not unexpected, all things considered. :(

I'm just counting on what you told us awhile back...you said that you believed in happy endings and that we are heading towards one...eventually. Many bad decisions were made over a period of months that unfortunately have equally bad consequences. I'm trusting you that in the end everyone will be ok, and enjoying your talented storytelling in the meantime. You do an amazing job painting a picture, expressing emotion so vividly with your words. Thanks for sharing with us. :)

Author's Response: I am so grateful for your unwaivering support! Thank you so much!

Ok yeah I can't do this anymore. I think I am just gonna wait till the story is done or things improve to a certain point before I read further. God it really hurts to read (i know weird way of saying your writing is awesome) I would ask why they don't try to get the baby out but if her nutrition has been this bad it would be a bad move. I just want to ask though couldn't they insert an ng tube, ehh won't do much good now. I can't do this anymore and that says sooo much I can take a lot but this is man. Its a good thing though.

 

Author's Response: Love, hang un there. It is a TOUGH read and I know this. The HEA ya a ways off. But you will learn the baby's fate long before. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

AHHH dont do it lol...dont leave us there...please ud soon

Author's Response: Lol! And the next chapter is a completely different POV. But you will get what I think you want in 23. Thank you for reviewing!

HEA, HEA, HEA--it is coming at some point, right? I know that the story is very involved, so itneeds time to develop get there, but I can't help but wish that I could jump forward to when the pain is over, like ripping off a bandaid. Thanks for another great chapter.

 

Author's Response: Lol! Well, put it this way... The HEA is the end. Do you want the story the story to end now? There is still so much to say! Thanks so much for the review!

so sad..... i can't wait for more

Author's Response: There is a huge break in next chapter. Code Green! Then the shit storm starts anew! Thanks for the review!

Spmething harder than THIS is coming?  Sweet mother of pearl, I don't know if my poor heart can take it.  Please have mercy on us, please update soon!

Author's Response: Oh yes. Quite a bit harder. But hold on and it will be worth it! Thanks for reviewing!
