Your instincts are correct..that's all i'm sayin'. :)

Thanks for reading and reviewing!! 

WOW....There is definitely some heavy duty shit going down here.....I am sorry that I couldn't review on some of the other chapters, but I am been having some compter problems and sometimes Twilighted doesn't work properly when it comes to reviews.  I just love this fic, but I am very worried for Bella.  She really needs to see someone about all of her issues and especially now that she loves Edward and there is a possibility that FUCKING Tanya might be pregnant with Edward's child.  That is a lot to handle in a new relationship, especially since she has so much other horrible stuff to deal with.  There is no way not to have therapy when you almost lost your life and your Mom and Stepdad were killed.  I will try to put my reviews in more because I always like to review and give the author some feed back.  THANKS FOR THE FUCK AWESOME WRITING.  Sher

I am glad that Edward is going to take Bella to dinner on Thursday.  She needs to have a good time and who better to do it, Edward. Y U M M Y!!!!!!!THANKS FOR THE AWESOM READING.  Sher

Ut oh!!!!!!!I really hate Tanya.  She just sucks!!!!THANKS FOR THE AWESOME WRITING.  Sher

Edward wants Bella!!!!!Edward wants Bella!!!!! He wants to be with her, he wants to date her. Can you guess what movie that saying is from? THANKS FOR THE AWESOM READING. Sher

I guess that Edward is the typical man in this fic.....Men, thinking with their dicks as usual.  Offered some tail and all thoughs of any other women go right out of the window.  But is now out there that he was interested in her at first look.  THANKS FOR THE AWESOME READING.  Sher

Hmmmm....Jake is marrying Leah but is best friends with Bella, which leaves her open for our boy, you know who, Edward. And now, Alice appears,  Looking forward to reading more.  THANKS FOR THE AWESOME READING.  Sher

Hi

I a little confused with Bella.  I know she is having problems, But I don't understand why she keep so much from Edward.  Depression sucks.  I should know.  But what she said to him is mean.  even if she is having trouble letting him.  I got a bad taste from this.  Love the chapter thou.  but it sad Bella is hurting Edward too.  Just so you know I understand a bit.  But she does'nt make sense.  Can you explain to me.  Why she said al that.  I want you but don't want you.  Help!  Have a great night.  Smiles Leona

Hi Leona,

Bella's not really keeping that much from Edward - just telling him about her flashback. And it's not that she's not going to tell him or doesn't want to tell him, she just hasn't found the right time. Right or wrong, her intention is to tell him, but she just hasn't done so yet.

As far as keeping the doctor's name and information about her therapy appointments from him, it's more a sense of wanting - for the first time in eight months - to be able to do something on her own without having to rely on someone else.  Carlisle helped get her her job, Edward is making appointments for her, not to mention all the stuff that Jake and Charlie had to do when she came home from the hospital. Rationally, this probably doesn't make sense - it's not really supposed to. She's not thinking rationally right now, she's thinking emotionally.  There's very little she feels she has to her own right now - she's sharing a home with Alice, she can barely drive so relies on others to take her places, and Edward is basically taking care of her every need.  The problem with all that? That's not who Bella is deep down inside. She's used to taking care of others or dealing with things on her own (ie: She mentions in the chapter that she used to take care of her parents, that she didn't share things with her ex-boyfriend or even her best friends).  Bella is used to figuring out life and navigating her way alone.  Now that she has Edward she's having a hard time letting go of a bit of that independence.  She knows realistically that she needs to talk to him and let him in, but it's hard for her - it's the one part of herself from before the accident that has really managed to survive, so it's hard for her to let go of that.

I hope that all made sense. LOL. I got a little wordy. Thanks always for reading and reviewing!! :) 

At least Bella talked her thoughts out to Edward, somewhat. I sense a Jasper Jr love connection coming...or I could be way off course with that one lol

Author's Response:

Bella is getting there - she's having a hard time letting go of some stuff. :) 

And your intuition is right on the money about Jasper Jr. :) 

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing as always!! 

I am really enjoying this story! Is this therapy process going to be a long one? I was just curious. I also can't wait to see Jazz and Alice and how you get them together now that you have introduced him into the story. Have a great weekend and looking forward to the next update!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much! Honestly, I'm not exactly sure how long Bella's therapy is going to take - there's something coming up that might mess with the therapy timeline a bit. :) And I hope you'll like how I bring Jazz and Alice together! :) Thanks for reading and reviewing! 

anxiously awaiting the next chapter.  hopefully you will be able to post it soon.  i can understand about the therapy issue btwn b & e.  i have been there and done that even bought a few t shirts.  looking forward to reading more.

Author's Response:

Yeah the therapy issue is going to be a sticky one for a bit. :) They'll work on it.

I'm writing Chapter 24 now and kind of editing what I already have written as I go. Hopefully I'll have it off to my betas soon! 

Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)

For some odd reason I remember reading at least six of the first chapters to this story and then never hearing from it again (perhaps I thought I favorite'd it but I didn't press submit), but then I find the story again and now I've read up to here.

It must be fate! I'm so excited to see how this plays out! This story has all the angst and fluff I need! Thanks!

This time I will also make sure FOR SURE that I get updates for the story now :]

 

Author's Response:

Well I'm so glad you've found After All again! :) I'm very happy you're enjoying it. :)

The next chapter should be up soon; it's been submitted for validation. 

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!
