caius the bastard...i want to shred and burn him, chelsea too, i think afton might be quite nice if it wasn't for chelsea..well france = paris = sexy city for carlisle loving! :D

Demetri maybe or even Caius or Jane? great chapter!

Very good!

Very good. I'm still curious about the Scent Thing.

Were the Volturi watching them?

I think it was Caius. And I know it now that Bella is preganet. And I can't wait to see what you have instore for them next. Can't wait.

nuger....

Sounds like a lovely vacation for them. Why doesn't the Volteri just approach Carlisle? I suppose that would ruin the slow build in the drama. I do hope that they soon figure out that Bella is pregnant though.

Wow, the imagery was beautiful. ;o) I hope it wasn't the Volutori watching Carlise... Waiting hungrily for the next chapter..

this story is amamzing......will bella become pregnant?

Love the chapter! Now, is she pregnant? That's the only thing I can think of her being so tired and her boobs getting bigger. Well done!

Ok ay, had to review again because I just read through some of your last reviews to see what idiots were saying that you were 'stagnating' and I could barely believe my eyes.

Where on earth does g(whatever her name is she's so unimportant that it didn't even register) get off saying things like that to you? I checked on her profile and funnily enough she doesn't have any stories. When she can walk in your shoes and write fiction as excellently as you do them MAYBE she can make some CONSTRUCTIVE comments (polite ones). Nothing gives her the right to talk to you like that and her comments show her ignorance and lack of manners. Unfortunately Twilighted doesn't seem to have a report review function unlike some of the other sites that I look on otherwise she would have been reported so fast her head would be spinning!

Whether you take a day or a year between updates, I will still read every word you write and be thankful for it. My favourite HP author updates about once every 18months and the vitriol directed at anyone who tries to rush him by fans on the forum is just vicious and deadly; nobody hassles the Authorlord! I have decided on behalf of your other loyal followers (I hope you don't mind guys) that you are the Authorqueen and nobody is allowed to hassle you either!

Okay, need to breathe now. In, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4.

I'm sorry I have just ranted at you and understand that you have much more right to be cross about it than I do but I'm afraid that in typical Brit fashion, I have finally snapped and decided to write a letter!

Author's Response:

Thank you dear. I love a good strongly-worded letter! I'm glad that you love the story, and I am greatly humbled at your words. 

Ignore other people, they are idiots! The longer it takes to reach the climax of the story the more chapters you write and therefore the longer the story is. I don't see a downside in this scenario anywhere!

Am loving this story as much now as I did when I first started to read it. Please continue to write what you feel is important, we will love every second I have no doubt. Also not going to complain if you keep updating at this speed ;) Can't wait to read the next chapter. I feel a case of intrigue coming on.
