This chapter was heartbreaking. I felt Charlie's pain and anguish over seeing his daughter. You wrote the dialog between Charlie and Edward perfectly! Loved my read.
Author's Response: I am so glad you feel I got this chapter right!
Thanks so much for reviewing!

This is my fave chapter in a long time - I love getting into Charlie's head! The betrayal, by the Cullens, and by Bella, of her not turning to him when she needed him - you can see how deeply that affects him.
Author's Response: Charlie definitely got the shock of a lifetime! Poor man.
Thanks for the review!

its a really good chapter
i think my dad would be the same =S
but anyway please continue it as soon as possible

Author's Response: As a parent, I would have reacted the same way with as little info as Charlie had at the time.
Thanks for reviewing!

poor Charlie. Such heartbreak for him. I sure hope there is a hea for all at some point.
Author's Response: There will be one, I promise. It's just a ways off yet.
Thank you for reviewing!

Well, Edward is extremely lucky that my husband is not Bella's dad.
Author's Response: LOL! And that Emmett talked him into leaving the service revolver!
Thanks for reviewing!

omg... poor charlie... i could understand really if he was able to kill edward because of utter rage. it would really look like edward left bella because she was pregnant. it didn't help to see bella all skins and bones. no parent would want to see their child like that. i guess it would be a little hard to talk to charlie into thinking or believing the truth. but i hope he would.. gosh.. i could really feel his pain.. but more is his unconditional love for bella. despite his hate for edward, he would be willing to accept him if that's what bella want. thank you for showing charlie's POV.. i think next would be charlie's pov still but i hope there would be of carlisle's as well. thanks for the update!! =)
Author's Response: Poor Charlie. This was his gut, initial reaction - no information. No background. Just going on what he can put together from the tableau he witnessed. But this Charlie is a good man. He has more wisdom than we give him credit for. I think he will surprise you in the end.
Thanks so much, as always, for your review!

My heart breaks for Charlie. Well done.
Author's Response: Poor Charlie. One of the few innocents in this story. So much to absorb.
Thanks for the review!

Oh. Oh my.
I just... I devoured this mo-fo in an hour. I'm on the edge of my seat. And you see, when it comes to fanfic, I'm very particular about what I read. But this... Oh lord, you're gonna be the death of me. My heart was pounding, my palms were sweaty. I felt like I was going into a panic attack every time a chapter ended. and now...I have to wait. with bated, laboured breathing. Until you post again.
I haven't been this upset since they pushed back Harry Potter. Seriously.
I know this is one in like 283743747 reviews. But know that I am holding this story close to my heart. I love it. And really, I could count the ways, but that would take me all night and since it's the 4th of July tomorrow, that might not be a great idea.
But I will say this. I adore that you have taken an almost banal, cliche storyline and sculpted this story from it. You've taken everything I had begun to feel about fanfiction lately and tossed it out the window of a 15 story building. At the very top. It's because of authors like you that I don't lose hope in humanity. Or..at the very least, Twilight fanfiction. I do hope, beyond reasonable expectations, that you don't use the name Renesmee. But eh, for this story, I would deal. ;)
You're an amazing writer, and you've done wonders with this. I honestly, can't wait until the next chapter. and to quote my biffle "Therewasbrilliancy" "I'M DYING! UPDATE SOON!" (I just sent her the link for this and she was reading it over cereal. I'm sure you'll be hearing from her soon. She's harmless, I promise.)
Best,
Staysa
Author's Response: Oh. My. God.
This review was utterly amazing and I answer every single one of them. Even if there are 283743747, I will still answer every one. Because you took the time to write, I will take the time to review.
I am *so* grateful for your words. I wanted to make this story different and special and I wrote it in a completely odd fashion (non-narrative. I only give you snips of the emotional workings of the inside of each character's mind - you fill in the story), so it was a complete experiment. And it's a complete shock how wonderful the reception has been.
There will be NO Renesmee in this story. Much as I love SM and her books, that was whack. No deal. The baby has a much better name (I've written 10 chapters ahead of what you are reading). So you won't have to suffer through that.
Again, I cannot thank you enough for the amazing review and feel free to send anyone my way, harmless or not! Visit our thread as well. We have a BLAST!
Thanks again for the review!

Oh god. He probably should have talked first. Poor Charlie and Edward and Bella.
Author's Response: Nothing would have made this easy, but Charlie would have had less of a shock if he'd talked to Carlisle first. Still, the motivation to find your child is too primal.
Thanks for reviewing!
Reviewer: jen79 (Signed) · Date: July 03, 2009 01:39 PM · On: Chapter 26 - Bare Hands
Wow the plan really went down the tubes there. I think Charlie under those circumstances would be pretty uncontrollable though as well.
Author's Response: Under the circumstances, I think he controlled himself quite well!
Thanks for reviewing!

I need to remember to have tissues handy when I read updates!! another great chapter!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Wow. Great Chapter. I have been waiting for a Charlie POV chapter. He is not taking it well. What parent would?
Author's Response: I know I wouldn't take someone hurting MY child well. I'd hope, eventually, I could hear reason. But not at first. Not with such a shock. I just couldn't.
Thanks for reviewing!
Reviewer: latinabeauty70 (Signed) · Date: July 03, 2009 01:01 PM · On: Chapter 26 - Bare Hands
Wow - you did an amazing job on Charlie!
Author's Response: Thank you! Charlie is so different to write from the Cullens. It's refreshing!
Thanks so much for reviewing!

Obviously I have never been a father. But I have always been a daddy's girl. I know that my father would fight to the death for my sister and I. That is all I have to base Charlie's pain on from a fathers POV.
As a mother I can say anyone ever mess with my sons I would chew them up and spit them out. Somewhere within there I would attempt to listen to reason.
Poor Charlie. I try to think of what, if anything, could have better prepared him for what he was walking into. Thankfully Carlisle was once again the voice of reason and able to calm Charlie enough to keep him from upsetting Bella further.
And Edward. My god, he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Too much for one so young. But it has to be somewhat comforting for him to know that Bella reacts favorably while he is there holding her hand. Despite the heartwrenching doom and gloom one cannot help but feel the love and hope that pours from his soul to hers.
And now it is time to remove the power panties and wash em up good so they'll be ready for the next chapter.
Sandra
Author's Response: There is so much damage. So much tragedy. Charlie having to see his little girl in this condition with NO idea of what he was walking into. Edward being confronted with his fears and having to bear the guilt of what he did to Bella and what her father will think of him. Carlisle for allowing this to happen at all. It's so much.
The next chapter is very very difficult. Please just keep the faith when you read it. It will be okay.
Thank you for your wonderful reviews!

best chapter yet.
I was crying. You characterization is so realistic it's not even funny, not even SM can outdo you.
Will be waiting not so patiently for next chapter. You should get high priority validation!
Author's Response: Aw, hun. You flatter me too much! These are SM's characters so her characterizations are what are real. I just work with them the best I can.
I'm so glad you liked it that much though.
OCD does an amazing job with validating my chapters. This one went up in 12 hours. That's fricken breakneck speed!
Thanks for reviewing!
Reviewer: LostCullen5 (Signed) · Date: July 03, 2009 12:26 PM · On: Chapter 26 - Bare Hands
Bring on the strip-tease!! ;o) But seriously, yeh, ouch chapter, poor Charlie. I'm glad he didn't actually hit Edward, but man I was scared waitin for it! Argh, but poor Charlie, you even had him cry! :o( Great chapter! Keep up the good work! I restlessly await your next update! ;o)
Author's Response: Charlie won't hit Edward for 2 reasons: Edward is just a kid to Charlie, no matter how much he hates him right now. Second, Charlie is a cop and a man of honour. He takes that seriously.
I love Charlie and he's going to be a good guy in this story. He has every right to be furious right now, but he'll come round.
Thanks for reviewing!

wow this chapter was so sad!! i have neverhad a father like that, and just reading this makes me wish i had one.
Author's Response: Now that makes ME sad. I have a great dad, albeit more of a Carlisle than a Charlie. But you can have my Charlie if you like...
Thanks for reviewing!

Wow so it took most of my afternoon and into dinenr to read teh whole story up to date. And ...well... You got my attention!!!! This is one hell of a story and I am so glad some body finally told it. Someone started a story like it and it has been over 6 months and the author quit. You have passed and exceeded all my expectations to the very point! I can't wait to see how thinsg go from here!
Author's Response: Wow. Thank you. I can't let a story go once I start it so I WILL finish.
I was wondering if anyone had the idea before...
Thanks for reviewing!
