son of a bitch!! i hope it was jake! peice of shit asshole!

it wasn't charlie, he knew Edward was there, wasn't Claire since she is with Charlie. wasn't Angela or Ben. and James wouldn't cough. he should be securely in jail.

and bella's face fell. so it wasn't Jasper or Emmet. or Alice. cuz she's never met them.

what?? after christmas!! you really are mean!! :(

Author's Response:

LOL! I love your passionate review! I'll say this about who walked in on B & E - it's not who you probably think it is. I have some surprises in store for the next chapter! ;) Never fear, Christmas is just around the corner. I hope to have the update posted sometime between Christmas and New Year!

FM

Oh no....I'd originally say Jacob but I don't think he'd "discreetly cough" to announce his presence.
I guess if I really thought about it, maybe Charlie? But he already knows, right?
Oh well, guess I just have to wait for you quick update?!?!
Loved every single word!! Definitely worth the wait!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much, hun! I'm glad that you thought the wait was worth the update. I'll say this about who walked in on them: it's not who you probably think it is! ;) I have some surprises in store for the next chapter - just sayin'! Thanks so much for continuing to read & review!

FM

um. i'm having issues. there are no new chapters. uh huh. just thought i'd bug you a bit. let you know the rest of us are still clicking the refresh key in hopes a new chapter will magically appear....

 

:D

Author's Response:

Hi, hun! Funny you should mention the new chapter - LOL! CH 28 is finished & is with the betas now. The update should be posted in the next few days. Thanks for continuing to read & review! :)

Hi hun!

_________________________________ Ok, now that I've flatlined and picked myself off the floor I have to tell you that once again, you amaze me. Such a wonderful chapter-so much emotion beautifully conveyed. I am in awe of your gift.

Loving every minute and waiting for more.

You are so incredibly sweet - thank you! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the update. More romance and sexy times to come in the next chapter, with a little drama and suspense thrown in, 'cause that's just how I roll! ;) ILY! <3

FM

Hmmm....so they get their hea for now. Great reunion. They obviously need to talk more but what they needed was each other for now. Hope Jacob doesn't make things hard for them. Leah is going to leave Jake...just a matter of time before she moves onto bigger & better & Jacob comes crawling back. Hope Bella slams the proverbial door in his face!

Author's Response:

Thanks, sweetie! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the update. Bella & Edward have been through a lot - they deserve a little happiness! More romance and sexy times to come in the next chapter, with a little drama and suspense thrown in there, because that's just how I roll! ;)

FM

argh!!!

 

i have to admit. this chapter is short! i even walked away midchapter to smoke a cigarette just to prolong the chapter. didn't help. it still ended.

this is my prediction, only to keep the ephoria going for me.

claire won't have an issue. she'll feel stupid, but not angry. angela will be thrilled to peices. Jake. Jake is going to be a complete asshole. i suspect he is going to try to interfer. not because he loves Bella, but because he is a prick. Jasper and Emmet are gonna hoot and holler, being guys. Alice....she better do or say something in person. none of this phone stuff. Charlie, he just wants what's best for Bella. so he'll smile and hug. i'm a tad bit interested on the legal proceeding for James, but that's because i have a sick twisted interest in law and want to know what pathetic story James is going to try.

so, given your track record of inputting things from the orginal twilight, i'm probably all wrong. i mean, you threw in the whole james attacks bella, instead of edward coming to her physical rescue, he comes to her emotional rescue. i'm looking for a pattern here. i just haven't found it, yet. but then again i really don't want to. i'm enjoying the bliss of not knowing and the surprise.

and what happened to the real pool man? is his body laying around somewhere? will she testify? will charlie get his border patrol job back? will bella follow edward to hollywood? will he take her to meet his mother? or will he fly mom and dad out to meet her? there will be a publicity fall out? jane is on his side, so it can't be too bad? emmet will hook back up with rose and she will have the baby she always wanted but never let on?

the story is great. i love it. i'm a tad bit annoyed i'll never get to buy this in book format to keep on my bookshelf with the copyright issues and all.

Author's Response:

LOL! I FLOVE your review!! Really, though? You thought the chapter was too short?! At 9,000+ words, it's longer a lot of other updates I read! Oh, well. If you insist, I'll just have to make the NEXT update 13,000+ words! :P I'm glad that you enjoyed it, though, and I love all of your theories and speculations! And, NO, I'm not going to tell you what happens next, except to say that there will be a LOT more sex in the next chapter! ;) Don't worry, I plan on wrapping up all of the loose ends in the next 4-6 chapters. I think you'll be happy with the outcome (or ... maybe not)! LOL! Thanks, as always, for reading & reviewing!

FM

Perfect reunion!  Can't wait for more.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much, my dear! I'm glad that the reunion lived up to your expectations. More romance and sexy times to come! ;)

FM

Finally!!!  I've been waiting for this reunion fo so long!!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much, hun! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the reunion. Expect more romance and sexy times in the next chapter! ;)

FM

Hi hun!

Thoughts?  I think you are amazing! This is one of the best chapters I've ever read. My heart is pounding! You have such a talent, hun. Such a way of drawing us in. Just a wonderfully written story that everyone should be reading.

Looking forward to them seeing each other again.

OMG hun. Your review seriously left me a bit weepy! It's so incredibly thrilling and humbling that folks like you are enjoying this little story so much. It truly makes all of those moments of self-doubt worthwhile! I'm winding down to the end of the story now. I envision another 5-6 chapters, but they'll be action-packed! I still have a few more surprises in store, so brace yourself! Thank you so, SO much for all of your amazingly kind reviews and unending support!

FM

OK.  I spent the whole day reading this little fic.  I could not stop.  Sure, I fed the kids, but that's about it.  I needed to read it.  Wow.  Amazing stuff.  Cannot wait for more!  I hope Edward isn't too hard on Alice.  This is a great read!!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your very kind words! I'm really glad that you found my story and that you're enjoying it so far. I'm glad that you're not ready to write Alice off completely just yet. She'll get the chance to redeem herself in a VERY big way! Thanks so much for reading - I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!

FangMom

omg omg omg ..i cant wait for the next one ....hurry ..*giggle*

Author's Response:

Thanks, hun! I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. The next update will be in about 2 weeks! :)

Go Charlie! Go Edward! Go Charlie! Go Edward!

Girl, I scared my three year old jumping up and down in excitement when Charlie came to Bella's rescue. He's such a good daddy.

And Edward! Put your thang down, boy! I'm glad to see that he put his foot down with Alice and is going straight to Bella.

Come on, Bella. Get your man back!

Author's Response:

LOL! I love your jumping up and down reaction to this chapter! If you liked this one, you're going to LOVE the next one! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - I really appreciate it! :)

FM

That was excellent!! When Jasper said he had a visitor, I first thought Claire but Jane was much worse! Talk about an enabler and all around bad influence. Hmmm....don't let me go there; I'll piss too many people off with my parallels....
I knew it was James being the stalker. Just didn't realize how deviant and psychotic he really was. Kinda scary when you think of how common this scenario could be. Glad Charlie was there to save Bella.
Love how Edward took charge & is rushing to be with Bella. Alice didn't know the whole story but I still feel she overstepped her professional boundaries on that one.

Thank you for the great update. It had been awhile but the length, content and resolution was well worth it!!

Can't wait to read the reunion!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the suspense of the chapter. I'm also happy that you seem willing to still give Alice the benefit of doubt. She's going to have the chance to redeem herself in a VERY big way! More coming soon ...
