OW! This was so unbelievably beautiful and painful as always...The tears are streaming after this chapter. WOW! Alice POV was wonderful and I love the little pixie. Poor Bella believing that she's dreaming. Just amazing work and I am only hoping for her to wake in the next few chapters, though I know it won't be all fluffy bunnies when she does I can't wait to see what occurs when she realizes she's not dreaming and he really is there. Beautiful job!

Author's Response: Sigh, alas there is another wrinkle. It will all be okay in the end. 26 teaser is on the thread! Thanks so much for reviewing!

::sob:: my chest hurt reading this!  ::breath hitching:: my heart squeezed and my eyes were watering the whole time I was reading. 

 

This so depressing, but I'm still waiting to see what's gonna happen next.  Crap, even rubbing my chest won't make the ache go away!  Damn it!  Hurry up and update soon!

::sobbing in earnest::

Author's Response: Aw! I am sorry! It will be okay in the end! I am glad you read and thankful for your review!

"I'll send the Cullen of your choice, dressed in only an apron, to bake you cookies and possibly decorate them.  Or maybe they'll just drizzle the icing on you instead...."  -- Woohoo!  I'm all about having Edward, with or without the apron, show up at my house with cookies and icing!!  Damn, that's hot.  :o)

Anyhow, great chapter, very bittersweet.  Although I figured she could, I think it's really sweet that she can kinda hear them and that's what helping her.  Keep up the great work!  As always, we patiently await your every update.  :o)

Author's Response:

Ah, the Edward/icing combo is very popular!  I have one myself!

Thank you so much for reading this story and reviewing!

Okay I'm out.

Oh Bella.  Baby it is going to be okay.  Edward is with you and he isn't going anywhere.  Alice is here too.  Carlisle is near and Charlie is on his way with Esme and Emmett. Just hang on baby.

Alice, doing what she does best.  How very soothing that in the face of adversity she in unfaltering and able to talk to Bella in such a familiar way.  To place myself in Bella's hospital gown, so to speak, I think that is exactly what I would want of my best friend.

And as sad as it is, and it is sad, the good news is that Bella is there.  She may be under the surface but she is there.  And in that I feel hope that she will break through.  Now if Edward can just keep talking to her bringing her forward because we really don't want to lose her, not now, not after she has come so far.

I am a bit concerned for Charlie now.  How this must be ripping his heart out, how it will rip it out further when he has a chance to see his baby girl.

And Esme.  Bella needs a mother's gentle touch and assurances now.    

And now that my heart rate is back to normal and the feeling of fail has passed I hunker in and prepare for the next installment .....

Author's Response: What an amazing review! There is actually a lot of hope in this chapter as well. Both that she is still there and that, at her core, she still loves Edward. Charlie is up next and it is so not pretty. Thank you for reviewing!

xxx 

Author's Response: You will get all of your answers and your HEA. I am glad it feels real... I wanted it to seem like someone's true life experience. Actually' several someones! Thanks for the review!

I have been out for a few days so I am behind.

I have to say I expected much, much worse so this was't so bad.  The fact the moniter showed an improvement as Edward spoke to Bella and touched her made my heart do a bit of a flip ... in a good way.
