I wanna be Emmett's facebook friend!  I love this story!  I love Emmett!!

Author's Response: I am so glad you are enjoying it! Thanks for reviewing!

PHEWWW you just made my day about Bella

Author's Response: Thank you. I appreciate your review!

YOU ROCK.  Damn it is hard enough to walk and read at the same time without crying, snotting, and wiping my eyes.

Author's Response:

LOL!  I read reviews and fic on my Blackberry all the time when I'm walking and it is tough!

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

 

Bella has to wake up soon. I can't take it anymore. Oh. I love this story. It is so Bella and Edward.

Author's Response:

Be careful what you wish for!  But it will be okay in the end.

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Yes it made me cry.  Of course, my newborn son is only 1 month old and it could have been hormones, but I think not.  I do believe all children are born with blue eyes, as my two half-Asian sons have been born with blue eyes.  The older ones eyes changed to a very dark brown several months later.

Author's Response:

I had heard that too, although my son was born with green eyes - almost hazel.  They darkened to a dark hazel brown later, but they were very green when he was born!

Congrats on your new son!!!

Thanks for reviewing!

Salut à mon potato préfère!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Edward and his little girl. It's such a sad story but I enjoy it very much.

Usually I avoid any kind of fanfic with multiple POVs. I'm a sucker for E/B POV and don't like to mess with all the details around the other characters. Maybe I'll have to change my mind, because I fell in love with your concept (do you use concept in that context? I really don't know...).

About the Chief: I can't imagine him letting go of the anger he feels towards Edward that quickly. After nearly nine grief-sticking month without his only child, and then finding her the way he did... I think I would have lost it completely (complerely lost it...?). So in I my mind he will need so much more time and good will to forgive and comprehend Edward's actions.

I can't wait to see if you're going to use the same God-awful excuse of a name for the baby as SM did.

I hope you get my point, despite my crappy English.

 

Have a nice day, Freshie

Author's Response:

I am glad you gave my multi-POV oa chance!  It can be confusing in a narrative, but since this story isn't written in a traditional format, the multiple voices tend to mesh a little better.

With the Chief, he hasn't forgiven Edward by a long shot.  He still hates him in so many ways, but this was the moment where he saw truth as well as ire. It's the groundwork for a tentative truce, much more so than the beginning of father/son Mariners games!  But Charlie is a very good and fair man in this fic, so he will make decisions he doesn't want to in order to do what he feels to be the right thing.

I will tell you now, NO RENESMEE!  Gah!  I shudder at the thought.

Your English is wonderful!  Your review was lovely!  Thank you!

Its all coming together... now we need Bella!  Great chapter

Author's Response: I am glad you feel I did it justice. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Awww shit on a popsicle stick!!  That was amazing.  Being the fat, soppy mess I am while reading this story, I did what I know best.  I cried.  Damn it!  You really know how to get us, me in particular, to turn on the water works.

This is the first (and hopefully not the last) time I will be sobbing with happiness.  Yes, it was tinged with sadness, but the wonder of a parent meeting their child for the first time... (sigh)...it was wonderful and as perfect as it could be without B there to share the joy.

I have to tell you that this bonding (without the angst of course) is what I really felt was lacking in BD.  I didn't really feel like E bonded with Renesmee...at least it wasn't as apparent as you have nailed it in 2144 words.  I'm so glad that I can await the new chapter after crying mostly happy tears instead of the heartbreaking ones with which I usual end this story. 

But no worries, I am bracing myself for more angst and heartbreak.  I see it coming, but I a profusely grateful for the reprieve of the normal code red/scarlett. 

I will go and vote now, because I don't think there's another story out there that has garnered such a reaction from me, at least not this violent a reaction from me. ;-D

 

Author's Response:

I felt the same way about BD.  I feel that somewhere Edward did bond with Renesmee, but I wanted to *see* that.  I tried to get it right here, in my own story.

Sweet Daddyward is definitely a heart string tugger.

There is just so much conflicting emotion for Edward, and for Charlie in this chapter.  Terror and elation are not good bedfellows.

As for the angst, I'm not done with you yet, but I can't, nor do I want to, take this hope away either!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

You did a wonderful job (yet again). You can continue to bounce up and down like Alice would after Bella accepted an invitation to go shopping.

I loved how you made baby Swan-Cullen have his copper hair and her chocolate doe eyes (their most identifiable characteristics--clumsiness doesn't count quite yet). I also loved how you had Edward call her little love. Great idea having Charlie listen in--now he knows Edward's intentions were honorable.

Author's Response:

Eavesdropping is usually not of the good, but, in this case, it was more effective than any conversation that Charlie and Edward could have had.

Little Love.  ::: sigh ::: Part of that came from his pet name for Bella, and part came from the fact that I call my son that!  Still, I thought it fit with the story.

Thanks for reviewing!

 

Sometimes, when you're feeling really low, somebody does something that restores your faith in human nature. Sometimes, somebody elses faith in happy endings gives you strength and hope for the future. Sometimes, something as silly as a fanfic makes tears spring to your eyes.

To say I was moved by your writing would be a harsh misinterpretation of my own feelings. You have a beautiful way with written words. The emotions you are able to conjure up with your writing compares to nothing I have ever experienced before. Each moment that plays out in the story is so real, and so raw, it hurts. I can't say that this last chapter was a happy one, but it most certainly was a moving one.

You are an incredible writer and I pray to God that you never stop. Dream bigger than you ever dreamt you could. I would be lying if I didn't say that I truly believe you are a more talented writer than Stehanie Meyer. I think, if you ever chose to persue it, you could become a real writer someday. You have a truly amazing talent. I love your story and can only hope that you will see your own potential. It's been a pleasure reading your story.

 

Author's Response:

Wow.  I mean... wow.  Um.  I'm speechless.

Shall we discuss tears springing to one's eyes?  You've just brought them to mine.

Your comments truly mean the world to me.  I don't know what I did to deserve such high praise, but I am so grateful that you have connected to my story in such a way and that you believe in me and my writing with such conviction.  I'm just... wow.  Truly, I am so honoured and grateful for your words.

I will endeavour to live up to them.

I would love to write, professionally, one day and hope to high heaven that you are right.

Again, many thanks for your review.

The anguish Edward feels for the injury he caused Bella is so raw. The way he repeats "Hurt her" to Alice is like a child who is being punished. Alice was so upset trying to get him to realize he made a wrong decision, I hurt for both of them.

Author's Response:

Edward is so lost in this place.  In reality, I believe his parents would have had him in serious therapy at the least, but for purposes of the story, he had to suffer in silence.

Thanks so much for reviewing!
