Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your review - I've fallen so far behind it's embarrassing *blushes*.  Better late than never, right?

Cupcakes delivered by Edward - simply divine :)

I am rather fond of drugged-up horny Edward myself as well.

And truthfully?  I'm not ready for Never Enough to be over either :(

Wow, I cannot thank you ENOUGH for all the reviews you submitted to my story!  I really appreciate you letting me know your thoughts as you read – I love getting “in the moment” comments, because it helps me keep focused on the flow of the story overall, and not just on whatever chapter is currently posting.  I hope you’ll continue to let me know what you think as the story progresses.

 On: Chapter 11   Loved the reference to the hippopotamus song!  It always makes me laugh at Christmas.

It is my kids’ favorite Christmas song, and I love singing it with them, although they are younger than Sarah and Will.

On: Chapter 10   I'm not a Sarah-hater.  I don't think she does things right all the time, but that comes with being a fifteen-year-old girl.  You've written her very realistically.

Thank you so much. I have tried very, very hard to write this story and keep the characters and their behavior/reactions real.  It is good to know that they read that way as well… although I feel bad for the mothers and fathers of the Sarahs in the world!

On: Chapter 9   Your Seth is a HOOT!  I'm enjoying your story very much.

Seth is probably the most fun character to write… and he totally takes over when he can! 

On: Chapter 2   You have the teenage psyche nailed!  Great, realistic story.

Again, thanks.  Although my daughter is just delving into the teen years, I have spent enough time around my nieces and have enough memory of my youth to recall that being a teen sucked, and everyone should suffer with them. :)

On: Chapter 1   “Rosalie, if that was the best that the single world has to offer, I am going to adopt a houseful of cats and start knitting tea cozies!” <--that made me LOL.  As a "vintage" Twific fan (past 30.  WAY past 30), I appreciate that Bella doesn't have a perfect body after two kids. 

I love the term “vintage” Twific fan… it sounds so much better than when I refer to myself as “old.”  Thank you so, so much for reading and commenting!!  I hope to continue to hear from you!

I appreciate you continuing to take the time to read and comment on my story – your feedback means more to me than you could ever know! 

So glad you approved of this chapter's lemon zest offering.  You might want to tell DH to get his work finished, becuase there might just be some more fun times for these two on the horizon :)

As promised, here’s your teaser for Chapter 16, which should post this weekend:

His voice quieted as he sang the chorus one last time, his eyes only on me.  The applause startled both of us, and he mumbled a quick “thank you” into the microphone.  Edward waved to the crowd and stepped down from the stage even as the applause picked up for his performance.  He waved off the waitress who approached him with his usual post-performance drink, and ignored the calls of people wanting to speak with him.  My breathing was rough and excited as he stalked across the bar toward me, a predatory gleam in his eye.  Ignoring his brother and our friends, he reached down, grasping my hands and pulling me from my seat into his arms in one fluid movement as he crushed his lips to mine.

Hope you’ll let me know what you think of the update when it posts.  Thanks for reading!

I like the way you think - I agree that widsom and maturity should outshine any of time's negative impacts.  And shield us from the attacks of young people who haven't a clue that they will be in the same shoes some day!

Next chapter should hopefully post this weekend - I hope you'll let me know what you think of it when it does.  Thanks so much for your continued support!>

I agree that we mature ladies tend to forget to treat ourselves, and we definitely should!

Thanks for your feedback - I always appreciate it :)

I actually watched someone have their nose reset one time.  It was not a pretty thing, and it was done without anesthesia.  I am told it hurts like crazy.

So glad you enjoyed the chapter - that Edward is a smooth one, even with two black eyes and a broken nose :)

And now a little sneak peek into Chapter 23...

I slid my arms around his waist and my hands into the back pockets of his jeans, cupping and squeezing his ass the way he did mine.  His responding groan sent a shiver down my spine.

Edward pulled back, his eyes dark, his breathing rapid.  “Go.  Do your paperwork,” he commanded in a low voice that made my stomach flutter.  “The sooner the work is done, the sooner the play can start.” 

First of all, I must apologize for being so tardy in both my response and in posting an update.  Within hours of returning from Washington, I was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery.  After a week in the hospital, I am finally physically capable of sitting at the computer for more than five minutes at a time, and mentally capable of concentrating for more than two minutes, and it's time to get back into the swing of things!

I am so glad that you enjoyed Chapter 24.  It was great fun to write meeting the parents with Carlisle and Esme, as well as Sarah's pre-dance surprise for Bella.

Thank you so much for always taking the time to read and comment - it means the world to me!

It was rather upstanding of Jacob to make sure Bella knew about the proposal first, wasn't it.  I guess he's not all that bad.... even if he can be rather clueless when it comes to his ex wife.

Bella and Edward both have a lot of thinking to do about babies - this is not the last time we'll have this come up!

Thanks for the well wishes - we are all doing better :)

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the wedding - it was an absolute dream to write!  The wedding night is up next, and should post when my beta is done with it.  I hope you'll let me know what you think of the last regular chapter of Never Enough!

The wait for the Cullens? I really liked writing that chapter, I redid it a couple times to make sure it was just how I wanted it before I posted it.I didn't want Edward there right away, at least before Alice realized what he could do. I think that it would be much harder to earn his trust if he saw all of that in her mind before she new that he could see it or if he was trustworthy, this way at least she has some time to get used to it :)

As always, thank you so much for reviewing, it means the world :)
