I love read this story though it is sad. i hope you update again soon.

I just stumbled upon this tale the other day... printed it out and then was blown away in awe with the five chapters I read.  Wow... just Wow.

Thank you so very much for sharing your incredible talent - for I cannot say enough about how amazing it's been reading Bette Noir

Yay! I am glad to see you have updated! I have checked every now and again to see! i hope to see another chapter soon!

This is so gripping.  I have been completely captivated by this story.  It is exellent!

They have such a strong knit family bond.  I love that they've included Jacob into their family dynamics.

Poor Bella.  Edward is going to freak when he realizes what happened to her. 

Imagine my surprise when I went to check the list of my faves and saw you had updated!  I almost fell out of my chair (no lie!).  Excellent update.  I so liked the journal entry Carlisle made about Esme.  I am very curious about this other Bella and the vision that Alice has had.  Your Jasper and Edward are so endearing, too. 

Since we've last spoken, I have been working lowing on making banners for my stories (all except Honeymoon Suite which was made for me), if you want to check them out and if you like, I can experiment making you one for this story.

Looking forward to more updates!

Well hello miss! : ) I would be honored if you would make a banner for Bette Noir. Thanks so much for the review! It has been quite awhile, hasn't it? ;)

Uh-oh....you didn't off Charlie now, did you???

Aww that would be SO kewl if the Cullens get to raise little Bella!

Argh! What was in that text message? Cliffhangers are nasty! (but in a good way, although I always say that 'to be continued' are the three nastiest words in the English language).

It's good that Edward found his peace. Bella's recovery would have been hampered by his continued avoidance. And it's good that Rosalie is finally getting her hang-ups out in the open. She's been holding onto them for far too long.

Can't wait to read more!

I seriously did a little happy dance when I saw that you'd updated. Glad to see you're back and writing! :) We've all missed you!

This chapter was definitely worth the wait. You caught me off guard by Edward's reasoning for staying away from Bella. Bravo! I just think it's such an interesting development for his character that he felt he would have been too tempted to change her if at first. It's like his vampire instincts finally kicked in when he saw Bella through Alice'e eyes, and for awhile all he could think about was protecting his mate. Nicely done.

I can always count on you for some excellent Cullen family bonding moments. Esmw/Edward/Carlisle, Emmett/Alice (an unexpected but totally sweet surprise combo)...Loved it. You really know those characters!

I'm also really glad that Kate gave it to Rosalie. Someone had to! Speaking of all the baby talk, it got me wondering if you were going to play out the events of Breaking Dawn *entirely*, or if it was going to go off-canon. Basically, do I need to prepare myself for the little bronze-haired scene-stealer or not? lol Can you tell I've got some Nessie issues? ;)

Overall, a wonderful chapter. Welcome back!

Thank you for continuing with your story. It was a long wait but definitly worth it!

I absolutely love how gentle and loving Emmett is to little Bella!!!!!!!!
