Sniffle!  I just loved this chapter she finally knows her name and as we predicted she loves it!!!!

Sorry but this is a belated birthday wish!  I hope you have dreams of a Cullen boy lap dance.  Have one have all just be sure to invite all the reviewers to take a pic LOL!

I am so looking forward to the chapter with Edward, Hopefully he will be the one to bring Elizabeth to her!  Swoon!

Author's Response:

I am glad you felt I did this chapter justice!  Not long until the Edward/Bella/Elizabeth reunion.

Thank you so much for the review and the bday wishes!

Oh.My.God.  I'm in tears!  This was so touching and so loving and so everything!  I laughed, cried, squirmed, lot of things!  So totally well done as always!  Goodness, if I cried during this conversation, I don't know what the heck I'm gonna do when THE conversation happens.  I'm so glad Bella is hearing about Edward and what he did while she was unconscious from other people.  I'm hoping that knowing all this will help help her see him in a better light, especially before unleashing her fury on him.  I guess I'm hoping she'll go a little easier on him! (Wishful thinking right?)  I can't wait for her to see him with Elizabeth! Oh yeah, he gave their baby the same first name that she wanted.  That earns him bonus points right??? *sigh* Such a beautiful story!  Can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Aw!  I am sorry I made you cry.  It's a poignant exchange and so important to the story.  And you're right - it's good that she's getting glimpses into Edward's place in this from others.  It will help her frame of mind when she does actually see him.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

I am glad to see that Charlie was so grateful to see Bella alive and contrite that he didn't go all " Overbearing Daddy" on her.  That would have really ticked me off.

 

It made me happy to see that they will be able to move past what happened over the last few months.. 

 

Another great chapter..  I look forward to your next update.  Tons of creativity and encouragement are being sent your way.  Do you feel it??  :o)

 

I hope you had a wonderful birthday!  For your birthday I would give you a yummy shirtless Edward (watched the New Moon trailor too much) playing "Happy Birthday" on his piano.  A very simple gift, but you have to admit that the package would be beautiful..   I would also give you lots of reviews so that you can stay on the "Top 10" list where you belong.  That way you wil know how loved you are and how much we appreciate all the hard work you put into such a fabulous story.  Ughhh, I am really sounding like mushy girl..lol

 

 

Author's Response:

Nah.  Charlie is a good guy who will do the right thing whether or not he likes it.  And, at this point, his goal is to help her fix this - however she needs to.  Just move on.

OOOH!  What a great birthday present!  YUM!  And thank you for your comments about the story as well.  That means so much to me.

All this build up is making me antsy.  Reading for Bella and Edward to has this out.  You are a tease.  ; - @

Author's Response:

I am just trying to keep it real.  We've seen how much Edward has paid but Bella has not.  She went to sleep and he was gone forever and she woke up and now she's back.  She's working up to it!

Thanks for reviewing!

This was a fantastic chapter!! I had such high expectations for the Charlie-Bella reunion and, as always, you never disappoint. After reading this chapter, its clear to me where Bella gets her tendency to blame herself from (lol). I loved how Charlie said to Bella he wouldn't have been disappointed in her but the fact that she wouldn't have achieved the dreams she had. Thank God that he told her that the baby had been named. I'm happy that she liked it too. The bit about the sex and the immaculate conception theory was hilarious (lmao). Can't wait for next chapter. My guess for the next chapter is the Esme and Bella reunion? Post soon...

P.S. Happy belated birthday! Hope you had an awesome day. My birthday gift to you, such as it is (lol), is the recommendation for the fanfic Cullenary Coupling by booksgalore here at Twilighted. Its hysterically funny and I think you'd love it. 

Author's Response:

I am so glad you've enjoyed this.  It's such a pivotal chapter with Charlie.  This is the way for her to learn to forgive herself and others.  She knows she has made her own mistakes

LOL!  You do NOT need to rec me to Cullenary Coupling.  I LOVE that story and review every time.  It's so unusual and FUN.  I'm so glad  not knowing I've followed it since the beginning, that you'd rec it to me.  You have my tastes spot on!

Thanks SO much for reading and reviewing!

So, Happy Belated Birthday.  No fruit pelting.  That was a good chapter, I'm glad Charlie is putting in a good word for the "pretty boy,"  however, when is THAT conversation going to happen?

I'm waiting patiently here...please please make it soon.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed your B'Day.  Tootles!

Author's Response:

Well, Edward and Bella will see each other again in Chp 41.  Not THE conversation, but A conversation.

It's coming... have faith.

Thanks for the birthday wishes and the review!

Nice update. The talk between Bella and her dad was not as emotional as it could have been but it broke the ice, was comfortable, and the important things were said.

 

Update soon.

Author's Response:

Neither one of them are the types to talk about the really deep-seeded emotional issues.  This was definitely progress for them!

I'm so glad you read and reviewed!

Great chapter! I love Charlie's honesty. :)

I think for your birthday you deserve a foul-mouthed Jasper and a trip to Texas; the accent would be so much more prevalent in his neck of the woods. Who wouldn't love that?!

Author's Response:

Charlie is such a good guy!

LOL!  I live in TX!  He can just come visit!  I think that's where I get a lot of his slang!

Thanks so muhc for reading and reviewing!

So good, but I can't wait for her to see Edward!!

Author's Response: Chapter 41! That's all I'm sayin! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Great update.

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

that was so sweet. :)  i've been trying to think of things for the epilogue...but i just can't.  i think it's because i don't want to think about the end.  i just want lots of E and B together and happy. :)

happy birthday!

Author's Response: Lol! Fair enough. I am glad you are enjoying the story! Thanks so much for reviewing and for the birthday wishes!

Okay Ellie, well I am gonna start first by telling you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!  I am gonna choose Edward like always and I wouldn't pelt you with fruit or club you I would give you what ever Cullen would be your choice....Let's see any Cullen of your choice, naked and wet waiting is that a good enough birthday present because MY GOD that would definitely have me all happy and my insides all melted...hehehe...Anywho, the chappie was amazing of course and I so loved Charlie in it....He is a good guy and he has a great heart...and I am glad he was the one who told her that Edward named Little Love....I just feel it was his right...I don't know but that is how I feel...and glad that he told that Edward was forced into it so she wouldn't think that he just stepped up and took it upon himself.....Looking forward to what happens next and who she talks to.....

Author's Response: Charlie is such a good man. He will do what he feels is right even if he doesn't much like it. I debated whether Charlie or Edward should tell her the name, but this just...fit. What a bday present! Yahooooo! Kind I have both a nekky, wet Edward and a nekky wet Carlisle? LOL! Thanks for reviewing!
