ahh so I "think" Bella is going for the small dose of venom, directly where it's needed, to repair the aneurism, but then try to burn it off before it can do any actual Changing of her (which her heart probably wouldn't be able to take etc)?

The timing on how conscious she is, and how much control over her abilities is going to be tight.

Edward's going to be more than a little pissed at next chapter, I'm guessing.

I'm a little worried about that Vision, but hopeful that everything will work out - for our favourite family, at least :)

Edward's got his work more than cut out for him now!! hehe

I'm thinking Bella's smarter than Edward though, and won't have to kiss Jace for "comparison"... she might kiss him for other reasons though :)

That was another crack-me-up chapter - even *I* had forgotten about the restaurant surroundings by the time B&E stepped out of their dance and kiss and "moment" hehe

The whole getting lost and neither one printing out directions etc was hilarious (been there, done that, though not quite so far off course)

Now I wonder what will happen the day after... both between B&E AND with the extended group :)

Geez, Edward, how you could possibly think that was a good "test" to run, the boy has more than just Stats issues :S

guess that's the last for a while though, thank god for email alerts :)

great to see a new chapter; hope real life is going well :)

As for Bella's musings  at the end there... I'm thinking a combination of all three events... maybe start with a beating, then the tears, and then the icing ;)

ok some roller coaster emotions through that chapter, and I did end up feeling kind of sorry for Jace.. .not enough want him with Bella, but still... :)

Looking forward to more when you get the chance :)

these guys are going to be able to track their relationship changing via ringtones in the end :)

whew... well the ice has been broken on the male-bonding-territory-marking at least lol

And Bella voluntarily went shopping with Alice - wonder how that day actually went? hehe

great build up to the date too :)

wow... intense - but good that they were both able to get their respective declarations out finally!

aww Emmett and Edward are both smitten so completely!!

Emmett and Felix's meeting was hilarious :) and the whole Ranger vs Warrior debate between EmRo lol

wow a long chapter but with so much progress for Bella and a few of the others :)

I like Edward's tattoo... although it makes me wonder about the prospect of Bella getting one, and what it might end up being. Transformers related or something else, maybe a 20-sided die? :)

great chapter. Especially enjoyed Bella's falling asleep against Edward and allowing him to get her to bed hehe

Though now I'm wondering... will Bella be the one to walk in on Edward and Emmett in bed the next morning? lol

It was good to see Jasper calling Jake on his crap, even better to see that Bella appears to be accepting some truths into herself too.

Looking forward to Edward's return though (almost, but not quite the same way) as much as Bella is ;)
