well, well, that was quite the eventful chapter really :)

Amusing to see Sam & Jacob try for the "against her will" card - wouldn't that have been putting the police at risk of Bella going "newborn" on them all??

Or perhaps Sam was hoping for something like that to give him an excuse to bring the Pack in? hmm

Wonder how the next generations of the Pack and/or La Push residents would feel about being "locked out" of the rest of the world like that?

that was still pretty intense there for Edward at least :)

I can see the Denali's eventually reconciling to a certain extent with the Cullens, though things may never quite be the same...

Looking forward to the epi - i'd say it's kind of happy-tears-bawling maybe to get all the way through writing your story :)

Actually, I find I'm glad that B&E didn't quite get to the lovin' in this chapter. Bella was doing a pretty good job of taking Edward to task for his abandonment of her, when it should've been something she had a say in.

Looking forward to more... such as how Charlie's doing over the last few days?

Well I'm slowly catching up on the recent chapters :)

Edward's stuck on a not-so-enjoyable trip down memory lane (to put it mildly), though hopefully at the end of it all, he'll be able to make some kind of sense from it.

I'm kind of torn on whether to be annoyed with Edward for letting himself go nuts like that in front of Bella. He knows her history, and his own fears expressed only weeks before should've been enough to head that off, but then, I've heard it said that NOT reacting in a "typically male" way shows a lack of understanding the situation as well :S

There's another long, hard road ahead for B&E, and the Cullens in general, I think too, since it looks like Esme at least needs some closure too :)

woohoo Bella! I believe the phrase is "you go, girl!"? hehehe

I do feel sorry for Edward because I can just imagine that he's immediately freaked out when the girls started talking about the bathroom "incident" like that :)

I wondered about the possibility of the pregnancy, but also suspected the irregular cycles being a factor too since it's something I've heard in relation to survivors as well.

It was somewhat amusing the way Bella kept wondering if she was dreaming (I'm hedging because I'm also kind of holding my breath to wait and see where you go with it next)

Looking forward to the next chapter.

As for the question and New Moon: I just saw the movie the other night at the local cinema's midnight screening (they showed Twilight just before, it was like going to the old double-features! Ah, memories :)

I'd actually say I enjoyed New Moon the movie more than the first, and more than the book even, the NM book was one that I've never quite been happy with simply because I never quite agreed with Edward's running nor Bella's too-quick acceptance of his return (after she rescued him), but oh well :)

Hmm if I had a chance to hang out with anyone from the cast, I don't know that I'd have a favourite or not, Alice is my overall favourite character, so Ashley would be high up, i guess, but she's not REALLY Alice (they ARE actors after all lol)

I wouldn't mind just playing some 8-ball/billiards with them for kicks!

hahah loved Bella's last line there :)

omg MIKE!!??

And there's the start of the darker moments, I guess :S

As far as my choices for B&E in my own head, I think I had people like Shiri Appleby (Roswell) and Holly Marie Combs (Picket Fences age) for Bella, and Edward well, I kind of alternated between trying to pick someone corny like a Zac Efron (he's nice and all, but as Edward he'd've been too sappy) and Chris Pine... mostly I saw myself for various reasons (none of which being that I look anything like RPatz... though many years ago I did get compared favourably to Christian Slater, which was nice at the time :)

I'm thinking Edward should stay away from the 'alcomohol' for the rest of the night if he's really that worried... whilst it can be a great form of liquid courage for dropping an initial barrier, it's not a dependable tool since it's too easy to go pear-shaped :P

Having said that, he somewhat redeemed himself with the serenade, and we know that he's at least talking to Victoria and Jasper about his memories. Now if he can manage to tell Bella before it becomes a bigger issue again...

Looking forward to it :)

ohhhhh wow!

The Wedding was perfect :)

I don't think I can say anything better than that.

I have to admit, I held my breath just a bit when Carlisle paused on the phone with Edward regarding the baby-bump... I just hope I'm not reading too much into things given B&E have spent a lot of time in the water and perhaps might not have noticed negative signs?

On a lighter note, I was chuckling all the way through Jacob saying thanks to Edward for the effect he and Bella have had on Leah hehe ;)

hehe sounds like the cottage is about to be shaken by the rattle of dice :)

Good to hear that your part of Tidnish made it through the storm, although not so good that any significant destruction happened... we've had a few nasty storms around here. The worst I've been present for was a fallen ceiling when the water got in under the roof and collapsed it. Right now we're having a heatwave of 40 degree (or more) centigrade days (104oF), everyone's more than a little worried about the chances of the hills areas going up in smoke :S

It happened twenty odd years ago, hopefully there's not a repeat.

On a brighter note - looking forward to more chapters when you've a chance, and Bella's proposal when she finds the inspiration :)

Also wondering if "Hope" might be on the list of possible names for Peanut when he/she shows :)
