You did good on Edward. I think you wrote him just like he would have acted, had he came back on his own.

I'm still not happy he's back though.

And I swear if Bella backtracks a step with Jake because of him I'll hate her. I really, really will! *pouts* She better just need closure. I could deal with that, and even understand it.

So excited for a new chapter! This is my fave story :)

*gasp*

A new chapter?! No way!

Yayyy!

Poor Leah :(

Ohhh what's gonna happen with Bella??? Post again soon!

Awww this chapter warmed my heart :) I was super happy when I found it. Y

I LOVE Emily taking care of Bella.

I LOVE how protective Jake is of Bella.

And I friggin LOVE Embry:

“Okay, just like in the dress rehearsal, doll face.” I scowled at the nickname but allowed him to slide his arms beneath my back and knees. “Wait,” he said, pausing before he lifted me, “you want me to run and get the ketchup from the fridge so I can give you a few squirts? For effect? I’m not quite getting the same thrill I did last time.”

Heee! This literally made me laugh out loud. Too good.

He nervously entered the bathroom with a hand slapped over his eyes asking, “Is everything covered? ‘Cause I really don’t want to die, and Jacob can be very, very scary when he gets the inclination. And me seeing parts of you that he hasn’t would most definitely give him the inclination.”

Yep, Jake would kill him. I love that he covered his eyes!

Oh shoot, Edwards back already? Bah. Can't you hold off just a bit?  I like Bella in an Edward-less world.

*hides from the Eddie-lovers*

What? ;)

I really hope that Bella and Leah get to talk, I'm really interested with their dynamic.

Post again soon. Cause I'm greedy and want more. Soon.

kthanks<3

:)

Awwwww she said 'I love you'! It's about damn time!

This...

My trust was not something that he had earned; it was something that had been forced upon him the moment I showed up at his front door with a pair of broken motorcycles asking for help.  I’d thrust my unconditional, desperate faith on him, and never once had he buckled under the pressure.  He never told me that I was wrong to trust him, that my expectations were too high or unwanted.  He just smiled and did his best.  Like now.

...almost made me tear up. I just...awwww! LOVE it. So Jake/Bella. So exactly what they are.

I uber loved this chapter. Up until the last paragraph :p But the above paragraph makes up for the Eddie crap, so I forgives you! <3

I can't decide if I hate or love you for this ending.

You killed Jake :(

BUT you gave them a baby :)

I'm so torn.

Damnit, you made me CRY. I hate crying.

I will say that Jake's death was the most beautiful, fitting and Jacbobish death he could have had. Sacrificing his life for hisBells and his unborn child... *sniff*

Thanks for giving your readers this story. It was amazing from start to finish. Well done.

Oh okay. It seems Jessica is just gonna have a crush on Embry? I was scared for a sec, but I guess I also forgot that he's already seen Jessica and there was no imprinting so... *whew*

My poor Embry tho. Don't torture him too much! lol

It seems near impossible to find a story that's dedicated to Bella/Jacob as a couple, so I loooove that this story is and the fact that you're a fantastic writer makes it even better!

As far as the imprinting issue goes, I kinda feel that Jake shouldn't imprint at all. Having him imprint on Bella would be too gratuitous and convenient, so I think it works better if he just doesn't imprint and continues with his strong love for Bella that isn't due to anything supernatural.

However, this is you're story so if you want him to imprint on her, then I'll just have to accept it :p

*squeals excitedly*

Coming here and finding new chapters makes me so giddy!  As always, great job. It STILL amazes me how well you write Jake. You have him down pat.

I loved Rachel's outburst about Bella being one of them. And Emily as the mother hen makes me smile. I love how she takes care of the boys.

Soooo...next chcapter...some cuddling? kissing? Right? RIGHT?

Hee hee :)

I love Jake chapters. I love his insight into his time with Bella. One of the reasons why Jake is one of my favorite characters in the novels is because of how he understands Bella, how he notices all the little things, and how he almost effortlessly can make her feel better. Your Jake does the same things and so I love him just as much, if not more, than SM's Jake. Seriously, getting to read your version of the happenings in Forks/La Push is such a gift to this Jake fan. It's like all the things I didn't get in SM's books, I get in your story. So thank you :)

All thist talk of imprinting has me so interested in who you're gonna pair up. I'm anxious to see who you actually have Embry imprint on. Oh and Leah too. She is going to imprint too, right? I think you said all the pack so I'm just assuming...I'd love to see her happy though. And I'd love for her to imprint on someone that no one would ever expect, lol.

LOL!

This? May be in my top five favorite chapters of your story. So good. That 'LOL' is literal, cause I really did 'laugh out loud' throughout this chapter.

These passages:

The look on Embry's face when Jessica jumped in his lap was something I'd never forget.  And I planned on playing it over and over in my mind every time we phased for the rest of our lives. 

  Too bad he hadn't imprinted on her.  I could have watched this go on forever. 

Brilliant, honey! I am your story's b*tch. Really, I am.

And awwwwwwww! Seth has a crush on Bella? Why does that make me uber happy? Is Jakey-poo gonna get a lil jealous over the youngin and his woman? Hee.

I do love you for not making us wait any longer! Thankssomuch! <3

Anyway, as always, excellent chappy, and I anxiously await the next!

I've realized I was one of those that mentioned the bi-polar thing. I noticed a lot of others saying it, so I went with the crowd and asked if she was. Of course I didn't mean to trivialize anything. I do realize how serious of a disorder it is, however, I think there are varying degrees of its severity, and perhaps that is why people are so comfortable with throwing around its diagnosis (of course a lack of understanding is a reason as well).  Depression runs in my family, my sister and I suffer from it, so I understand mental imbalances. I understand how serious they are and how much pain and destruction they can cause. I meant no offense, and though you said you weren't looking for them, I offer my sincere apologies.

Now on to reviews...

I've said it a dozen times, but the way you write Jake is just so perfect. The little nuances you give him are so in line with the character that Stephanie Meyer created.  You've found a way to continue on his character and story in a very organic and authentic way, and it's a rare thing for a fanfic writer to be able to do that.  So in other words, you rock :)

And if you'll allow me a fangurl moment:

 As long as she was happy, as long as she was with me, I really didn't care how slow she wanted to take things.  Hell, I'd wait until our wedding night if that's what she wanted.  Okay, maybe I wouldn't be telling her that anytime soon.  Planning a honeymoon was definitely rushing things. 

*squeal* I love Jake.

Paul is an uber azzwipe. I cannot believe that he went there about Bella. Grr. I'm glad Jake kicked his butt. And in my mind, Sam didn't reprimand Jake because he thought Paul needed an ass woopin too :p I got the feeling though that maybe Paul's comment was in response to Jake's seemingly nonchalance towards where Rachel would stay? Hmmm... Maybe that's not it, but there's something there?

This chapter was steamy. In a good, not-trashy way. Jake stopping? SO Jake. That boy loves Bella well. <3 him.

Oh no, no, no Jake! Don't even think it!

He's gonna freak out isn't he?! And do something stupid? :(

Or maybe he'll just talk to her about it...

You're not gonna torture us with a fight or something, right?

*worried*

great chappie as usual...post again soooon! ;)

If this story doesn't end with Bella staying with Jake , I will never forgive you.

I really, really won't.

And I won't forgive Bella either.

So you and Bella better just be good and make my Jakey-poo happy! 

*taps foot expectantly at Ysar* 

:)

(By the way, wonderful chapter as always. You capture the devotion that SM gave Jacob for Bella perfectly.)
