Steph,

I started reading your fic on Wed.  I have been trying to steal time to get into my study on my computer to read every chapter I could before having to do something or take care of something for the family!  Arrgghhh!!! 

I was so captured by your story of Rob & Jen!  I love your characters and  your writing!  Your description of Rob in the Details spread was how I thought he looked.  Was he acting in the shoot?  He did appear so disconnected....was it b/c he was hung over?  The pics of him were gorgeous but sad....Just my thoughts.....

Anyway, I was hoping Jen would still be able to carry a baby to term, but I know life is not all about what we hope to happen, but what reality actually deals to us.  *sigh*

Thanks for sharing your story!  I look forward to your next update and hope it is before I leave for vacay on Friday!!!  *crosses fingers*

hi my dear! Welcome! 

wow! i am always amazed by your fabulous readers that read it in so short a time! amazing!

it warms my heart to hear how much you all love Rob and Jen. it truly means a lot to me!

the Details spread... i hated it. disturbed me... it was shot in december, when he was so worn out from all the New moon publicity... it really hit home to me how tired and worn he must get.i am so happy to see more people view them as i did. sad....

Jen and carrying a child. while i wont say i will go this route, she still has options. there are procedures for removing the scar tissue. it would still be a high risk pregnancy if they went that route. but there is still surrogacy... we'll see what the muse decides... grins.

i'll see what we can do about by friday, no guarantees... but we'll try.

gift is on its way!

MWAH!

I love this story. Seriously. The relationship between Rob and Jen is beautifully written. I'm also a sucker for hurt/comfort type fics especially when the two characters seem like a believable couple. I'm so excited for the next chapter!!!

Author's Response:

thank you so much my dear!so glad you are enjoying it. 

sending you a gift as a way of thanks!

MWAH!

Oh my dear.  You brought me so low when she told him she was no good.  I could not stop crying.

Then when Nick forced her to look at the pictures. Oh my God!  "Tell me he wouldn't do anything for you!"  Goodness. I was so proud of Nick.  But more so of you! 

And the end, with Rob just holding her telling her he was there.  I could not keep it together anymore and had to move to my little private writing room to finish the chapter.  Seriously.

This was marvelous.  I am so happy you didn't keep them apart too long during this grueling period of their relationship. 

Excellent job, Steph!

Your killing me here. 

So beautifully written - I feel that I'm suffering along with Jen.  Although she knew that she couldn't have children before this incident, I take it that it has reopened a terrible wound for her that has never been healed.  I'm so glad that Rob chose not to wait for her return but rather went to see her directly. 

I hope all goes well for the next chapter, cus I don't know if I can handle another scene of heart brake.

As always, waiting for more.

P.S.  Definately send me the teaser.  While I appreciate the weekly updates, I could certainly use an earlier fix.

Lovin ya!

Author's Response:

thanks so much my dear, i promise we are on our way out of the sad... she has to overcome it all over again, but with rob coming to her, that will assure her he is real. they are real. that will help.

i'll warn you now... there will be some tears in the next chapter...

but i'll send you a happier little gift your way... to lighten the mood and offer a light at the end of the tunnel!

love you more!

MWAH!

Awwww,  Im sooo glad he came for her. I have no doubt that Rob will be there for her.  Great chapter,  can't wait for the update.  Thanks

Robin

Author's Response:

thanks my dear!

he had to come. he knew she was in need. sigh...

thanks Robin.

MWAH!

I had an inclination that Rob was gonna show in Los Angeles. Great minds think alike. I feel really bad for Jen; the medical tests didn't have the result I was hoping for...but I'm hoping that she can have a procedure in London that might be able to get rid of the scar tissue.  I hope Rob is not too upset with Jen. I hope he is emotional about the fact that the love of his life was pregnant with his baby,but i hope he is not too upset with her  b/c she didn't know she could even get pregnant.

I can't wait for the next chapter. I know there is gonna be a lot of angst and sexual tension due to the healing process...can't wait for when they can get back to normal!

Author's Response:

You know Rob would come... he knew she was hurting...

there is always hope for Jen and Rob, they have more options than they had before. there is always hope. 

We'll see his reaction in the next chapter... have faith in Rob and his love for her. *smiles*

things will get better now that they are together.. they have a lot to work out, but it will be better, together.

thanks my dear!

gift coming your way!

MWAH!

Wow!  Just wow!  To see those feelings written down... such a low, deep dark place she was in... and then to see her take off to the beach and rethink it--such strength!  Then, ROB!  I cried when I saw he showed up! They'll have some things to work through but I'm hoping for a HEA!

You write FEELINGS! Thank you for this story and how special it is!

 

Author's Response:

thanks so much my dear. she was at rock bottom. and it took Nick of all people to snap her out of it... 

then Rob... so glad you liked that. he had to come. 

so glad you are enjoying the feelings. that means so much to me!

a gift is on its way to you!

MWAH!

Okay,,,,this is going to sound really bad but, whatever.  I really hope that Rob gives her a hard time about keeping this from him.  Keeping it from him was so wrong on so many levels to me.  How can he trust that she wont keep big things from him again? I just hope that he doesn't forgive her or cave to her as easily as he has before. The decision she made about not telling him was wrong and I personally think Rob needs to let her know exactly what her hiding things from him does to him. I think she need to see the repercussions of her decision.

Author's Response:

Never Bad! i love that you feel that strongly about how she HANDLED Rob. believe me i was mad. now the key is when does he say that it hurt him. because for sure it must. but does he do it while she is teetering, or does he let her get a grip on her spiral before he tells her?

or does he hold it in. fearful of scaring her.... until it comes out in a rush when she tries to HANDLE him again, even if its something small like telling him he needs to eat more...oooh the things i could make Rob do!

I love that you feel this way. truthfully I wish rob would just shake her and scream at her... but i don't think i will go that far. there will be a lot of internal debates with him in OTT over this... but thats forever away....

thanks my dear!

a gift is coming your way!

MWAH!

I love this. Finally Rob is there!!!!!!!! Life isn't all that simple and the story shouldn't be either. Lots to work through yet. That's what makes it so real!  Pleaseeeeeeeee write more soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response:

thanks my dear! rob came to her.. he had to. he knew she needed him. they definitely have a lot to work thru. 

more soon i promise!

This chapter was so heartbreaking and then it turned wonderful. I was so afraid that you were going to take Jen on a little trip down Total Crazy Lane. Your Jen is much too put together for that, even though she has endured so much loss.  And the Details photo shoot...you nailed the sadness.  I really missed smiling Rob in those pics. And when she came back to Rob's apartment and he was there...thanks for that.  You and your story own me!

Author's Response:

thanks so much my dear. 

she was close to Crazy town. without Clare there, she may have slipped under. She was truly lost. 

Oh the Details shoot. so glad you like my take on it.That shoot really disturbed me.

Ah Rob. coming to LA... he knew she needed him... he just did... 

thanks my dear! 

sending a gift your way!

MWAH!

steph

This is so heartbreaking.  I'm so glad Rob came to LA.  Jen really needed him there.  I'm glad she's getting everything sorted with the past present and future.  I can't wait to see Rob's reaction to what Nick did for both of them.  Figured I'd keep it short so you can get on with writing.  :0)

Author's Response:

thanks so much!

HAHA! thanks for keeping it short! LOL! no guarantee I will! HAHAHA!

He came, he knew she needed him and nothing would stop him this time. With him there she can start the healing.

ah...Nick... we'll see what Rob does...grins....

thanks so much my dear!

a gifty is coming your way!

MWAH!

thanks my dear!

Great job on this latest chappie!

I'm glad that they are being reunited, but more than that, I am ecstatic that Jen has had her epiphany and realizes she's worth his love and devotion and that they are both in this relationship together and have to work through everything together.

I love how you weave in the details of what we who (obsessively) follow Rob know, with the behind the scene details that we wish we knew!

Keep up the FANTASTIC work.  Can't wait for the next chapter.

Eryka

Author's Response:

thanks so much Eryka!

Jen hit rock bottom, and to have that realization, she can move forward. They have to do this together, as partners. there is no other way. And for Rob to arrive to get her, that just proves his devotion to her and to their relationship. 

so glad you liked the behind the scene details... so much to weave. 

a gift is on its way to you! check your email!

MWAH!
