woohoo! whilst it's sad that Edward wasn't there physically for Carlie's birth it was still impressive that he thought to keep the phone line open and keep talking! :)

so sad to see the end of the story but it's been a great tale and so glad to see them so happy at the end there :)

whew - I was so worried you'd drag out the angst for B&E there!! I'm glad that Bella called Edward out on his behaviour and it appears they're about to have a reconnection :)

Love the way Bella's just taking everything in-stride and totally confusing Edward though, keeps him on his toes and pretty much keeps her in the driver's seat... now for the spark to ignite hehehehe

oh no another favourite ending!?

Thanks for sharing it with us :)

I'm so glad to see Bella get her Happy Ending both with Edward AND Charlie in her life :)

Loved the way the Cullens were able to surprise Bella with Charlie's visit.

Any chance we'll see a reconciliation of sorts with Rosalie??

uh oh.. the girl's sick already and Edward's going to be beside himself trying to figure out what to do :P

woohoo Bella said it! and now for Edward's reaction...

Hope you're able to get more of this story out of the depths of the block :)

whew hot times on the deserted island for B&E! And really, what else are they to do out there? hehe

It's reading well so far - and I definitely want to hear more :)

Looking forward to hearing more about Bella's efforts to get the tortured soul to open up.

I'm enjoying the development of the story and looking forward to more - good luck on your finals and have fun on the vacation :)

science grad here and it's making sense enough for the purposes of a story - I wouldn't worry about any errors... Star Trek etc is rife with them and it's never slowed them down ;)

Just waiting for our vamp to try some kind of real communication at some point

oh I'm happy that basementward is more bedward now finally... looking forward to when he finally manages to speak... among other things ;)

Always end up feeling more sorry for Jasper out of the group, because of the gamut of emotions he keeps having to deal with from everyone.

Seriously, it's no wonder he's the guy who slips the most... I would want to kill more than a few people if I literally had to feel their daily emotions along with them :S

awww it's "Edward's" turn to beg Bella not to leave him :)

he'd best get to stepping too... he's got homecoming soon lol

it's good to see he's managing to recover somewhat

awww that chapter was choc-full of sweet moments really, even with the laptop-panic, Bella's internal thoughts as she worked through the effect it was having was insightful.

Kind of glad to see James is already out of the loop hehe though I wonder if there's going to be some kind of earlier Edward connection - we're still unaware of how Edward got to where he was when the Cullen's found him, and if there's really a secret lab that close to Forks, how's it not been noticed with all the supernatural residents around the place? :) Many more chapters to look forward to the revelations from, I guess!

So Bella's 'fessed up to herself... Alice 'knows' and it just remains for Edward to connect the dots on his own recovery and feelings and the two of them to go public :)

Alice's internal monologue was hilarious especially when she's trying to school her thoughts - kind of makes me wish for an EPOV on that sequence as well... although I don't know if it'd necessarily be possible for him to make that much sense internally right now.

Without Bella's quiet support, I'm guessing his mind tends to get a little unruly when he's alone.

So what happens the morning after, I wonder?

As far as the human experiments go, I've actually been wondering if the humans somehow created Edward from venom stores? It's been a while, and I don't know that I'll go back over every chapter but I don't recall a reference to the usual bite mark... although it's normally assumed, with human labs involved I thought maybe Edward wasn't the 'first'... and perhaps Alice's history is connected for that matter?
