Author's Response:

Sigh, alas there is another wrinkle to come.

I am so glad you enjoyed the chapter.  I appreciate your review!

Oh My God....you are offically my favorite author on Twilighted. I cried while I read this and I've only do that if the story is really really good. And I was bawling like a baby. I can't wait for the next chapter, you have no idea how much i wish you had the next chapter for tomorrow. =) I love you, and this story and am so happy you wrote it. I mean how Edward was clinging to her, and whispering those bittersweet things I almost died. You are just awesome. Every time I read a chater from NLT (Not like this) I always think about whats going to happen in the next chapter. Im always wrong of course, you always seem to take me by surprise. I can't wait for the next chapter. Good Luck!

Author's Response:

Holy Smokes!  What an amazing review!?  I'm so flattered that you feel this way about my story (and me!) and that you are connecting to the story in such an impactful way. 

Thank you so much for your kind words and for reviewing!

I liked seeing that Bella is hearing them.  And the reactions she's having to the voices, it makes me think she'll be kind of accepting of letting them back into her life!!  More please!

Author's Response:

We are seeing her unadulterated thoughts and feelings with no rational thought to temper it.  It won't be easy at all once she is alert again.  But you're right.  The fact that she still loves him, still wants him there, is so hopeful.

Thanks so much for reviewing.

Loved Bella's POV...

Author's Response:

I am so glad you are enjoying!

Thanks for reviewing!

I love the way Alice takes care of Bella, uses what she knows as a source of comfort. Of course alice would do a makeover, even if it is dry shampoo and hairbrushing. It was nice to finally see Bella's POV again. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response:

Alice does what Alice *knows*.  If she looks pulled together, she feels better, so the same must be true of Bella.  But really, she just wants to do *something* to improve Bella's quality of life.

I'm glad you enjoyed hearing from Bella again.  As she's not awake, we only get unadulterated thought, but I thought I'd give a glimpse anyway!

Thanks for the review!

Too short!!  I want more!!  Great chapter and yes it was heart wrenching!!

Author's Response:

There is more to come soon!

Thanks so hard for reading and reviewing!

Whoa, there....any of the Cullen men, naked, with desserts??!?!  Well...well...let's ponder this....

Jasper...sexy eyes, hair, body...and DIMPLES!!

Carlisle...I can call him "Hey Big Daddy"...and well, he's GORGEOUS!

Emmett...broad shoulders, bangin' body, enough strength to make "our" time very interesting...HOT!!!

Edward...smoldering eyes, tousled hair, and rippped abs/body...BEAUTIFUL

Can I put in an order for all of them?!?!?!

LMAO!

Love this chapter...love the story...love you!

XOXO

Let's just invite them all over in just their aprons with chocolate body paint and take turns!  LOL!

Thank you so much for all of your support both of this story and my mess of my life!  I couldn't have made it through the last two weeks without your girls!

YAY for reviews!

Holy Christmas!!  That was AWESOME!  I think you are doing a great job of coding the sections!!  It was definitely code scarlet for that last part!  Sheesh!  Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response:

I am so glad you think I did this justice.  I know it's a hard read, but I hope you hang in there and follow us to the HEA!

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

sigh. The pain is unbearable. I love the image of Edward whispering to her with his forehead pressed to hers. So sweet. Thank you for a great update.

Author's Response:

I've got a lot of comments about that imagery!  I'm glad it was that powerful!

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Okay, so I know you say you believe in happy endings and I'm going to cling on for dear life the fact that Bella wants Edward and isn't pissed at him in her "dream" that when she wakes it won't be full of angst on her part when it comes to forgiving him. I know there's still a lot these two need to talk about, but the love has always been there. I'm sure there will be other factors like Charlie that may not want them together, but I'm hoping the resolution won't drag on too long. These two have been through enough pain for a lifetime!

 

Absolutely wonderfully written chapter. Now I'm off to take a Xanax for my nerves! LOL More soon, please!

Author's Response:

LOL!  Alas, there are still miles to go before we sleep.

There is a lot of hope in this chapter.  Nothing can break the connection between the two of them, even though there is so much damage to heal.

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Oh, I got choked up on that one, luckly I was off work when I read it.  You are doing a great job and I can't wait for the rest of the story.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reading it and reviewing!  It means a lot that you're connecting to the story!

It's ok no Cullens need to show up. Just needed extra tissues is all. Nice chapter, except I was crying. I am glad Alice is there to and can Bella ca not only hear Edward but Alice as well.

 I am pleased it is not ending yet and you have a ways to go with the story. I will patiently wait for it. =-D

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and reviews!  I am so grateful you are enjoying the story!  Yes, there is much more to go, so hang on to your hat!

*sniffs*  She does believe in happy endings.......she does believe in happy endings.....

Great chapter.  I gotta go find some fluff to read.  All of my favorite stories are in serious heart fail mode.

Author's Response:

I do!  I promise, I do!

The teaser is up for 26, the arrival of Charlie, on the thread. 

Oh, and go try Cullen Robotics.  Nothing like smut to distract you!

Thanks so much for your review!
