I loved this story it is such a great AU and I am now curious who Renesmee brought with her if it isn't Jacob!! Such a great story thanks for sharing it!!

Wow! I loved this story :) great job :)

This is the best Bella birth I have read.  It is the most realistic.  As the mother of 5, 2 of whom were born at home - the last one in a labor tub, this was the best description of the feelings of labor and birth. I was worried it was going to be another gory, scary, blood bath when the idea of induction was introduced.  Of course in real life a medically induced birth couldn't be an unassisted birth, but this is FICTION...... and I'm so glad that you put a REAL story of birth out there for people - especially young women - to read.  One that puts the thought that birth is NOT a scary, blood filled, horrible thing that everyone needs LOTS of drugs for and surgery (or vampire teeth)..... but that unmedicated birth IS possible.  DOable.  Hard but not impossible.  Like running a marathon.  It takes effort, support and concentration.  Hard but not impossible. And that birth can be quiet, beautiful, private and loving.  That no one needs to be rushed away to a warmer or nursery.  That the mother, father and baby can have such a beautiful loving moment.  Women's bodies work and babies know how to get born.

So, thank you for this birth chapter.  It reminded me of MY homebirths. 

Bella and Edward's life has turned out rather well and I thank you for that. I too am curious about Ren's boyfriend, I'm thinking Seth, but who knows!Hank and Mary Black need a good outcome also and I can never read too much about all the Cullens. Fan fic truly is the gift that keeps on giving! I'm off to fan fiction's site to see what else you've got for us. See you soon!

I wondered when Jake was in Alaska if his uncle was a shape-shifter too. Now we know, and it's a crying shame that his wife had to be mixed up in Victoria's nastiness. Hank fixed her, but good! At leastCharlie's safe and the problem is solved, this time. Now come the explanations! Sort of a happy ending.

I see where this going now and I'm really hating that Charlie is in Victoria's vicious little hands. She plans to take the fight to Alaska and kill everybody there! Just wonderful! The bad part is this could work out for her. unless the Cullens can turn on a dime and get back home. I suppose that's where the newborns come in . They must be the delaying tactic.

That sounds exactly like what Victoria would do to Charlie. The bad thing is, Alice can't yet see the newborn army that bitch has been hatching. That puts a whole new spin on the coming confrontation. The vampires and the wolves better get it together and team up or they are all going to have a hell of a fight on their hands! This is killing Bella to have to stay home, but at least Edward can guard his wife and daughter. Poor Irina, her so-called mate is a real waste of time, the doubl-crossing bastard!

Victoria the vicious, what a piece of work she is. I always thought she and Maria would make quite the team as they have so much in common. Neither one gives a rip about anyone but themselves and they're bad to the bone.

If Edward helps her, Bella will be able to retain her human memories much better. She seems to have the loving part down pretty well already. Hunting seems to come naturally to her also. Bella is an amazing newborn!

I've always wondered if Bella's transformation would have been easier if she had just let out the screams. Maybe not. Now she only has to worry about hurting her child. Glad this is over for her and life will be much better for her and probably Edward, too. Now her hurdles are down to her parents and Victoria, though nobody knows that yet.

What a hell of a fix for Bella to be in. Her own beloved child has put her in some serious spot! What will happen if she can never become a vampire? That would just about kill her and Edward too! Oh boy, what next?

That was quite an experience, for Edward and Bella both, and the result is fabulous! Their daughter is a wonderful combination of the two of them. This is great, for Renesmee , her parents and the rest of her family. Every birth should be like this in some way.
