Author's Response:

LOL! I like to throw little surprises in there. :) 

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - as always! :) 

loved the cliffy.  anxiously waiting on pins and needles for the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! And thanks for reading and reviewing!! 

HA!  I knew the hussy was lieing about the baby being Edwards!!!  She got knocked up by the other Dr.!!!  Lets see what she has to say about it all.  If she told Mathews, and he took off out of town (probably to think) and Tanya got freaked out she wouldn't have a baby daddy then she tryed to go after Edward.  This is my guess... Or maybe she wanted Edward more than Dr. Mathews?  Humm we shall see!

I sure hope Bella quits being stubborn and gets some professional help in order to get on with her life and truly be happy....

Great Chapter, can't wait for the next update!! :)

Author's Response:

Your guess might not be too far off - see, I've already said too much! :) 

Bella's working on getting there - I promise!

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!! 

Curious what is wrong with Alice.  She's definitely not herself lately. Edward finally talking to Bella and seeing just how far broken.  Mentally she's a wreck.  She has attempted to hide her problems by burying them.  Edward hadn't really been seeing her until Esme mentioned Bella's distress.  Edward finding out that it was Bella who was driving the night of the accident.  5 miles from home, she pushed herself too far and fell asleep at the wheel.  That's a lot of guilt to live with inside.  Edward's suggestion of Bella speaking with a counselor didn't go very well at all.  Even though she does have the name of a counselor in Seattlel wonder if she'll finally call.  Thinking she can handle everything she had experienced alone hasn't been working.  She is still as devastated as she was after the accident.  Once she learned the damage and loss caused by the accident.  Edward already has decided her fear of driving is legitimate.  Bella's afraid she'll have another accident and kill someone else.  Her selfless personality is concerned not so much with her, but what she might cause by driving.  What she has inside her is internal guilt, loss, fear, etc...  It's all bottled up inside.  So much it's overwhelming for her to determine which piece should be dealt with first.  Especially in her case if the pieces aren't dealt with in a certain order Bella could be even worse.  Remove one piece wrong and all the pieces will crash.  Good news about Tanya.  Either Alistar or Edward is the father.  I'm still betting it's not Edward's.  Tanya was playing both men.  It might even be a third man involved who won't step up and do what's right.  So to save her she claims that the other sex partners are the father.  Two fathers are not possible.  Which means Tanya wasn't faithful.  When Bella learns that Tanya has told another man he is the father also might help with some of her stresses, doubts, and fears of losing Edward.  Looking forward to the conversation between Edward and Tanya.

We'll find out what's going on with Alice in Chapter 22 (I'm writing it now!) Everything about Bella's accident hasn't been revealed yet, so we have a bit more to learn on that end.  I think she'll end up listening to Edward about the counseling - she better anyway!! :) Tanya has a lot of explaining to do and we'll see it all at the beginning of the next chapter.

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your reviews - I really, really appreciate it! :) Thanks for reading!! 

Please oh please let Bella and Edward get a break and have her lying to Edward!

I am loving this story.  There is so much to it.  I like that it is not so cut and dry, and that Edward isn't able to "fix" Bella just by being with her.  It is more realistic this way.

I look forward to the next update!

Thank you for reading and reviewing - I really appreciate it! 

Scheming, scheming little Tanya, hmmm? I wonder who's getting the short straw next chapter, Alistair or Edward? As usual, a great chapter indeed :)

Author's Response:

Awww, can you guess? Would I bring you so far only to make Edward the dad? Yeah, actually, I probably would. LOL. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. :) 

Thank you so, so much for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it! 

Great chapter!

I'm glad that Bella is talking a little more. Hopefully it will help her get better.

I really hope that Tanyais lying to Edward. I really, really do.

Looking forward to your next update!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! I think the more Bella opens up, the better off she'll be. Hopefully Edward will help her do that. :) As far as Tanya goes...we'll just have to see! :)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!

I literally jumped up out of my seat when I read that DR. MATTHEWS and TANYA were having a baby...HOLY SHIT!!!! I can't wait til the next chapter!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response:

LOL!!! Trysh, your reaction is the best. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :) 

Thanks for reading and reviewing!! 

I have been waiting for the next chapter getting frustrated here

i have a feeling the story is just about to begin? abk

Author's Response:

We're headed for some interesting developments I think! :)

Thanks for reading and reviewing!! 

i actually felt sorry for edward and bella ,but i think they did the best thing possible by removing themselves temporarily from the situation ,ive read a few reviews and i think i agree with just about everything everyone said and i didnt think of the rest of the family having different views and they all seem to think that tanya is not being completely honest i myself was hoping that tanya would lose the baby but i know thats not nice maybe she's got some padding on(think glee...lol) anyway i just want bella and edward to be able to have alight at the end of the tunnel ,they seem so accepting of the mess that has been thrust upon them

oh and can we have another musical number from emmett?...lol

Author's Response:

So sorry for my late reply - time has gotten away from me this past week! 

Tanya is definitely pregnant, so no padding there. That being said, I think you'll like the next chapter.  And that's all I can say. :) 

I'll see what I can do about a singing Emmett. 

Thanks for reading and reviewing!! :)

Uh-Oh...what WILL Charlie have to say about the pregnancy?

Author's Response:

Um...not much actually. :) LOL. All will be explained next chapter...

Thank you for reading and reviewing!! :) 

Bella has so much to deal with. She was so blissfully happy and now...not so much. I know she loves Edward but she ought to take a page out of Rosalie's book and smack him upside the head. And what I wouldn't pay to see Emmett singing Oops? lol

Author's Response:

LOL. I had to add some comic relief in there, and that's just what I pictured Emmett doing at his sister's store. A cop with a crazy sense of humor. I just love writing him. :)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, as always!! :)
