I loved the fireplace scene, it was nice to see Edward voice his vulnerability to Bella.  Thanks again for writing this in EPOV, I cannot get enough of it.

Thanks for another great chapter!  i agree i love garrett and i'm loving benjamin too. :)  i think i despise aro more.  caius doesn't try to hide what he is.  aro is so slimey & deceptive, pretending he's a "good" guy, it's disgusting.  they are both pretty evil though, it's hard to choose who to hate more.

everything is sooo much better from edward's pov. thanks for writing it.  you do such a great job filling in everyone's thoughts.  loved the jake twilight zone comment. :)

thanks for writing! ♥ ♥

Thank you so much!

I liked the "Twilight Zone" comment, too. We needed a little bit of laughter at that point. :-)

You were right, I needed more tissues for this one, and loved every bit of it.  I am on to the next chapter and enjoying every minute of this story!!

I definitely needed tissues for this one, but loved it none the less.

Oh my gosh, why does Edward's point of view make verything seem so much more emotional, I sat here reading the part when Bella put Nessie on Jake's back, tears streaming down my face. This is so emotional *wipes a tear* I just wanna curl up somewhere and bawl myself to sleep!

Author's Response:

I'm sorry - this chapter seems to make everybody cry, including me. :-(

Just remember: the happy ending is coming. Everything will turn out all right.

That was great! It was as if I were reading an extension of SM's book. An extended chapter that maybe the editor made her cut down for whatever reason editors do that sort of thing. It was dead on!!

WOW!!!!!

Thank you!

Wow, loved this chapter so much. :) I look forward to reading Edward's interpretation of what's going on (or, *not* going on) with the powerful guard members. Mwahahaha! Go Bella! XD

Please update soon!!! 

Author's Response:

Thank you!

I have to say that I'm interested to see how Jane's reaction to Bella's ability to shield everyone from her power will unfold. So, I join in with your evil cackle. :-D

And I'll try to have an update soon, I promise.

Can I just say...HOE LEE Schnikees!  I always cry when Bella says goodbye to Nessie in BD...but I simply bawled tonight.  Hearing Jake and Nessie's thoughts.  Wow.  I am going to blame the fact that I have a young daughter for my outburst of deep empathy, but I think your fabulous writing didn't help the matter! 

What a great job you have done here.  I really enjoy your Edward, particularly because you make his story telling less elfish and more focused on the thoughts of others.  The omniscience is addictive.  No wonder Edward is, well, a conceited know it all!  Knowing absolutely everything is fun... though it must be hard as hell to write.  Kudos!   

You ger my very first "10" rating because I think this was pretty much perfect.

Author's Response:

Thank you very much!

I wish that I could hand you a box of tissues. That whole scene was a challenge to write, but I was pleased with how it turned out.

Edward's talent does make things more difficult as far as deciding which thoughts he hears and which he chooses to ignore. Sometimes I wonder if my brain is slowly turning into jelly from all the characterizations I'm trying to get down.

And thank you for the high rating! I really appreciate it.

omg!! i love this whole story!!! you HAVE to finish it!! soon!! and i love Garrett too! <3  i always only review at the end of storys.. but i really wanted to earlier.  you are an exeptional writer.. this didn't feel like FanFiction.. it was like SM wrote it herself.. you have a gift! i love the way you get inside he characters and make up funny little sences. :) i can not wait for you to write the last 2 chapters!!

anyways.. yes. this was an amazing story! and if you don't finish it i will be very sad!! :(

Author's Response:

Thank you very much! And I'll do my best to have another chapter ready as soon as I can.

Don't worry; I will finish this story. Come hell or high water. ;-)

again very well written!  It sure doesn't show that you struggled with this chapter....very good!  Although I am really ready for the ending.  This has been drawn out long enough.....not a bad thing...just ready for the happy ending!  And by the way...you made me cry with the whole Renesmee/Bella/Edward thing.  Very good moment!

Author's Response:

Thank you!

I'm with you; I'm ready for the happily ever after. We're nearly there, though. :-)

And the farewell scene really mangled my heart while I was writing it, so if it makes you feel any better, I shed a few tears myself at that point.

I love this chapter. I always wanted to know Edward's mind during this confrontation since it gives us so much more than just HIS thoughts... The scene with Renesmee brought me to tears as I knew it would. Great job. I can't wait for the rest.
