Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Farewells
This has to be the most gut-wrenching "Edward's POV of him leaving Bella" I've ever read. And that's saying something. Dear Woman. Please continue with the EPOV. He demands to be heard! And by God, we need him!
Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much for your review. I agree with you 100% !! I have always been wary of writing EPOV as I don't think anyone can come close to doing him right and making him sound "right". I know I failed but this was the best I could do. He is definitely by far the hardestr for me to write.....I hope you enjoy the next chapter just as much. As soon as I get it back from my Beta this weekend I will post it.

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Tenebrosity
This chapter has left me so depressed that I'm begging you to post your reunion chapter...now. Please. Have mercy. This was the most painful "Edward seclusion" chapter I've ever read anywhere. I pray that the reunion will transcend all of our beloved Edward's suffering. We all know what Bella endured. That was NEW MOON. But here, we finally feel the full fury of Edward's dying self. Please revive him soon. This is killing us.
Author's Response: I feel so flattered for your review. I was really nervous about writing this from Edward's POV and I am glad that I managed to get across the anguish he went through. The next chapter should be up in a few days, I hope you like it.
Thanks again for always reviewing my chapters, it means a lot.

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Resurrection
I can't believe the majesty of your writing. It's mind-numbing and just amazing. The level is suffering you convey is so heart breaking that it brought tears to my eyes.
But please, please, please, don't make us wait so long for more! It feels like forever since last you posted. So much so, that I had to go back and re-read 3 chapters to remember at all what this was about.
And then I did. And my heart lept inside!
MORE!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for such a great review :) you made my night. And for continually reviewing after each chapter. It's much appreciated.
This chapter took a wee bit longer to get to you and I'll try to update quicker.
But I'm glad you were happy for the update. next chapter is almost done.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Reunion
I didn't blink ONCE the entire time I was reading! That's how hypnotic this chapter was. OH. MY. GOD. It was amazing.
And let me just say that I thought the whole 'Emmett comforting Bella' thing was just genius. I always believed that she and Emmett had a special connection and bond. Loving and protective. And I adored how he was so gentle and caring with her. It was enchanting.
But ever more wonderful was Edward's jealousy of it. Though misplaced, it was completely predictable of him. And oh so right.
I cannot wait to read more. This is seriously good writing. REAL GOOD WRITING. And I'm transfixed.
Please post more asap! It feels like FOREVER since last you did. MORE!!
Author's Response: Wow, what a fantastic review! I am so happy at your kind words you have no idea!!
I'm glad you got the whole Emmett thing. It just made sense that she would break down with him and I completely agree with you on the bonds between him and Bella.
Next chapter will be placed in the queue for twilighted validation today. This chapter was in the queue since Monday and I think they have a whole ton of stories they are working on.
Thanks again for always reviewing, I really do appreciate it. You just made my day! :)

MY. GOD. I loved this! It was tender, sweet, emotional, romantic, and oh so heart breaking. I wonder if Bella will ever truly learn of how Edward suffered for her, laying at the bottom of a watery cave. Will Edward ever truly learn of the depths of Bella's love for him?
Man, I love this! It's all kinds of wonderful and I thank you for it. THANK YOU!

JESUS. MARY. AND JOSEPH! I knew that HAD to come to a boil, and HOLY HEAVEN! What a boil!
You could NOT have written that any better! Thank you for making it so perfect. That arguement was absolutely necessary. Please oh please give us an EPOV of it. Edward is screaming to be heard!
Please post more asap! AMAZING!
Author's Response: LOL I have never heard that phrase before... you made me laugh! Thank you so much for that :) I am glad you enjoyed the wee conversations they had. It did have to happen didn't it? It will be interesting to see where they go from here.
I hadn't thought about an EPOV I will give it a go and see what happens.... thanks for that idea.
As always, I really do appreciate you taking the time to review, thank you thank you thank!

Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Funerals
Let me put it this way....I seriously went through a WHOLE BOX OF TISSUES! I haven't cried this freely in a long time. My tears were incessant, rolling off my cheeks in absolute silence. You wrote something that is truly beautiful.
I especially appreciated the way Bella turned to Jasper. It served to illustrate the vast difference in the relationshio Bella has and will continue to develop with her two brothers. Again, just beautiful.
And last, but never least, EDWARD. You almost killed me each time he called Bella "baby". Thank God I was sitting down or I would've certainly swooned.
Out of curiosity, how far are you planning on taking this story now? B&E's wedding? Her change? I just don't want to see this end.
Thank you for writing something so wonderful. Sigh....(damn, I ran out of tissues!) Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review. I'm happy I was able to make you cry :) if you know what I mean. I know that I cried writing it, and I'm glad to see that I have been able to transfer those feelings into this chapter.
Yeah the dynamics Bella has with the Cullens is certainly changing. This time, they truly are becoming a family aren't they?
I'm having a dilemma with the story. Originally I had planned on maybe 2 or 3 more chapters until the end. But the end wouldn't be the way most people want it to end. The lassies I work with, who read this too are pressuring me into either continuing with this until they get the ending they want... or writing a sequel with their ending in it and I honestly don't know.
I lost my Beta around chapter 7 when real life took over for her. JackBauer has kindly offered to let me pick her brain and bounce ideas off her, which after the chapter I intend to do.
I honestly don't know yet about the ending. Which way to go, stick to my original plot or change it to suit others.
Thanks for always reviewing, I really do appreciate it.

Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Battle
It is no wonder why you took so long to post this chapter.
HOLY. CRAP.
Now THAT is what I call a climactic battle. Amazingly well written, Darlin'. The tension, the suspense, the unnerving panic....all magnificently portrayed. JUST AMAZING.
So what's wrong with Bella? I pray you update soon because I don't think I can handle such a long wait again.
AMAZING. Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much for such a great review.... I do appreciate that. I was so anxious abotu this chapter, I think because I took it further than SM did in Eclipse, and then took liberties with her newborns by making them bleed. So glad you liked it.
Bella is just in shock. She hasn't been party to the conversation Charlie had with Edward so to see him as a crazed newborn and in battle with Edward was a hell of a lot to handle. The good thing though is that she has an amazing support system behind her that will help her get through this.
Thanks again for taking the time to review, I do appreciate it.

Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Aftermath
I wonder when the topic of Bella's change will come to the forefront. Somehow I'm feeling it to be soon. So very soon. Hmmm... Author's Response: Somehow, I think you might be right... soon, so very soon...... ;p
Thanks for always reviewing, and for your rating. I do appreciate it!
Summary: What do you do when you lose the love of your life? When day slips into night and time holds no meaning for you. How do you move on... and do you even want to?
Second Chances is a story of how to pick up the shattered pieces after a tragedy and rebuild, of lives changed,not always for the better and finally, a story of love lost and regained.

Title: Chapter 7: Somewhere in Between
Ok. I am REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY praying that you're gonna pull a miracle shocker and have Edward come back, having been "RECOVERED" somehow. You had Carlisle mention in the last chapter that after the crash Edward's body was never recovered. Meaning FOUND? For the love of all that is holy, I don't think I can stand an ending where he's gone for good. NOT POSSIBLE. This will kill me. Please give us some little kind of warning? Is there any flicker of a light at the end of this tunnel, or will this be more of a 'Bella learning to cope with loss and regain strength' kind of story? Please be merciful. We love Edward too damn much.

Ok, I NEED MORE. I love how tender and nervous Edward is. It's always such a relief when you know how nervous and innocent Bella is, knowing also that Edward is just as eager. I really hope you take this all the way to Isle Esme. Your writing is beautiful. I truly love it. Please go on with as mush as you can. It's pure heaven!
Author's Response: aww. Your going to make me cry. Thank you. As for taking it all the way to Isle Esme...well that will depend on the reviews I get I suppose. If everyone wants me to continue I will but I started out with this only being a 4 chapter fic about the Sex Talks Edward has with the males of his family. I would be willing to extend it or write another story picking up at Isle Esme if enough people are intersted.

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Hmmm. Now THAT was interesting. I can honestly say that this is exacty how I always pictured B&E's "practice" would've begun. Poor Edward would've been absolutely terrified of hurting Bella in any way (this terror follows him all the way to Isle Esme, too!). But I also love how Bella does NOT come off as needy or desperate for more intimacy between them. In fact, it's she who pulls away from Edward in their kiss, as she can sense that Edward has reached his limit and that it was time to stop. In some fanfictions, she's always almost begging. And THAT is not how I see her. Bella can be tactful and determined when she wants to be (her seduction routine on Isle Esme), but she never humiliates herself. Nor does she in your tale. I wonder if Edward is going to take up Jasper's offer? Hmmm. Food for thought. I can't wait to read more. Please don't take too long to post more! It's THAT good!
Author's Response: <But I also love how Bella does NOT come off as needy or desperate for more intimacy between them. In fact, it's she who pulls away from Edward in their kiss, as she can sense that Edward has reached his limit and that it was time to stop.> Thank you. I mean really thank you. I've also read many fics where Bella is so needy and ready to push his limits not caring about his reactions. That just isn't my version of Bella. She wants this yes but she loves Edward first and formost. That would override any need she has imo. <I wonder if Edward is going to take up Jasper's offer? > lol. I have no idea, really. I never meant for this fic to go beyond the first four chapters so at this point I am winging it but hopefully it will still be good. Thanks for reviewing. :)

It's amazing how you write B&E's characters so incredibly close to canon. This is EXACTLY the reaction S.Meyer's Edward would have had to such a conversation with Bella. And you executed it perfectly. I cannot wait to read more. Author's Response: Yea it is. He is so old fashioned and back then oral sex just wasn't talked about in circles with any social propriety. Edward grew up in the time of my grandparents who slept in separate beds their entire marriage. This is totally new territory for him and he's having to work through a lot of issues.
