Hi Steph,

Thanks again for another beautiful chapter. You just can't write them fast enough. I'm starting to really worry about Jen. Please tell me you believe in happy endings, cause Jen is either pregers or there is something really really wrong. Anyway, just write as much as you can as fast as you can. Your story is wonderful and moving.

Author's Response:

thank so much my dear!

haha. i tell ya, i am amazed i have written as much as i have in the short time this story has been "alive."

but yes... it's hard, with turnaround, and with two stories going at the same time... but promise to always submit as soon as i can. :)

the next chapter is written, and the next OTT chapter will be submitted today, so hopefully by the weekend.

About Jen... there is definitely something amiss with her. and i love that you all care so much for her. she has major issues with seeing a doctor, we'll see that coming up...but i PROMISE... i absolutely believe in happy endings... there will be no Jen or Rob deaths, there will be a HEA of this story. it's written (just the fluff in between needs writing, LOL!)

in classic Star Trek Scotty voice: I'm writing as fast as i can! hahahaha!

more soon, always!

thanks so much for all your support! it means so much to me!

MWAH!

OMG,completely awesome! love it so far!

Author's Response:

glad you are enjoying! 

MWAH!

Oh Steph, a beautiful chapter.  I am so glad that Jen dealt with this alone, with Rob still in London.  I think she needed the privacy to say goodbye, and although it's nice to lean on Rob he's so distracting I think it was better for her psyche to do this on her own.

And Mr. Wright "pausing" over the birthday, and not really believing her - thinking that she truy had finally lost it - would have been priceless and hilarious if it wasn't so sad!  Made me wonder - are there fans out there crazy enough to actually do that?  I mean leave an estate to him.  How awkward that would be.

Well, a few more chapters (?) then back to London - where maybe we can see some times with the sexspenders ON Rob!  (After they've been washed of course - ew).

*MWAH*

Author's Response:

terri, thanks so much dearest. and you are the first one to say that. i happen to agree. she needed to do it alone without the haze of the PAtti. this is her old life, she needs to make the fresh break. Good to have Rob there as support, from far away, otherwise she may have avoided it further.

Mr. Wright. he loves his DIL, but yeah, she coudl be seen as crazy from a normal persons perspective, especially since its not public. it's ok, you can laugh a little. I wouldn't doubt there is some fan out there that would bequeath her estate to him... now it may only be Rob magazines and his dvds.... but still... you never know...

hehe yes a few more chapters... you know i can't take it to Friday and NOT have it be a couple at least... so much to do.... and then back to London... oh yes sexspenders will be going in the laundry... and then......

thanks so much my dearest!

MWAH!

Black pants lay crumpled on the floor behind the passenger seat.

 

Black. Sexspender pants.

Steph!

First of all, thanks so much for the update! Now I'm floating on RobJen high...*sighing* I  need to let you know that your Fic is thoroughly appealing and addicting, and that I'm always literally craving for the next update. Thanks for giving me a FanFix!

This quote is so Jen, right? I love this side of her personality; I can so relate to her...it feels like she's just another one of the fan girls. Oh... and those just so naughty, "sexpenders," left in his Beamer all them long lonely months...that's just obscene! hahaha! This was such a delight to read in your chappie.

" Creepy Number One has hit the motherload!

 I couldn't help but snatch them up and hug them to me.

 Ok. They needed to be washed first. Gross.

But the mystery of the sexspender pants had been solved.

 There was hope that the fans would accept me for that alone."

The next quote from your story shows me that RobJens relationship is growing. They are both ableto  express themselves even if it's a bit offensive to the other, because relationships are never perfect (unless it was RobLiz lol) and words come out somewhat not in the right tone or with sarcasm when the other partner seems not to understand. But, in the end I love how Jen apologized for the flare-up, because that's very important in relationsghips too.

  "Yes, well now you understand how it feels. I need to go," I said and hit end. 

   I just hung up on Robert Pattinson.

    Crap. What was wrong with me? I just hung up on Rob! "

The following quote had me full of tears. It was just so touching. It shows not only Jens love for Mike, but it tells a story to me on it's own.

            "He's a good man, Mike. I think you'd like him," I whispered into the air.

      I knew he was listening. He had always listened.

    I shook my head and tore at the grass beside me.

   "I didn't expect to find anyone again. I just expected to... exist. There was no point after... There just wasn't anything that could take away the hurt," I said."

And this quote is saying a handful here. You practically had me sobbing like a 10 year old there.

            "He's given me so much more than I can even imagine, Mike. You'd be a good friends, I know. He can be a silly boy sometimes, but I love that about him. And he loves me. I mean really loves me. It doesn't matter about, you know. He loves me completely. I'm whole when I am with him. And I haven't had that since you. He's helped me through."

From Rob to Jen..."   I love you more than anything. Truly." That's the epitome. I can't help but love your Rob even more.

One last note. Please let Jen get well...I don't think I can take a broken-hearted Rob. that would absolutely break me.

Great writing style, leaves me panting for more...

Luv ya lady!

Author's Response:

Hi Liz! 

wow so much in your review!

let's see- her humor... you know deep down she is the deep and loving lady we know, but there is just the crust of quirky about her you just gotta love! and really, her inner dialogue is so like the inner fan girl in all of us. I am so glad you can relate to her (i thought i was the only one! haha)

yeah, every relationship has its rough patches, and they have only been together a few months now...there is so much to learn and adjust to. What makes their relationship so special is the ability forgive. now if they could jsut open up a little more and talk more.... that would be great!

 

Ah Jen loves Mike. She will never stop. and while he may be gone physically, he will always be with her in her heart. Rob will never replace him in her heart, he has his own special place. never a comparison. she is blessed to have found love twice.

Rob... he loves her, more than anything. That's important to remember. she is more important than his career and his friends, i wouldn't say family... i think she should stand beside them in that regard, but most certainly his career.. that's important.

Jen's illness... yes, she will be seeing someone soon... i promise. and this story WILL have a HEA... just saying.

thanks so much my dear!

more soon!

MWAH!

WOW!!  I can't tell you the emotions that this chapter is stirring in me.  My husband is active duty military.  He's back from a tour in Afghanistan and looking to another one next year. 

Reading this chapter reminds me that I haven't visited my daughter's grave since her funeral.  She died in 1996 at the age of 9 months from meningitis.  It hurts too much.  I have 3 beautiful children, but a lost child can not be replaced.  Your story holds a special place in my heart.  It fills a void caused by loss and a distant husband.

Thank you for sharing it.  Still looking forward to Rob's side of everything!  I hope you finish it!

Thank you again and a definite 10.

Shannon

Author's Response:

HI Shannon! thanks so much!

I understand completely about the emotions. My first was a Marine. There is no way to truly describe the love and dedication, as well as the fear that comes with being involved with a soldier. Some of Jen's emotions, absolutely, I compare them to some of what i felt with my first. 

It is so hard to try to recover from a loss. There is always a piece of you that will be theirs. I am so sorry for your loss. 

Jen is lucky enough to have found someone in Rob, not someone to replace Mike by any means, but someone who can complete her.

Always happy to share this journey, I am so grateful for the wonderful readers here who are taking the journey with us.

oh i have every intention of finishing Rob's POV... absolutely. :)

thank you so much!

MWAH!

Hi hun!

Oh, what a chapter...*sniff*...so emotional for her and for Rob to not be with her.  It must be tearing him apart.  She really did need to go to say goodbye.  To officially close one chapter of her life and move on to another one.  So beautiful.  

Oh, and please make them use those sexpenders---pretty please?  LOL. 

Cheers,

Leslie

Author's Response:

an emotional rollercoaster to be sure for her, and for him... I haven't gotten close to this point in the story from his side, but can only think about how hard it must be to be in a house by yourself, trapped in your obligations, and the one you love is across the sea, suffering.... not sure if i am going to enjoy writing that part to be honest.

Oh ... there will be sexspender times... and then of course there's Bel AMi sexspenders, and WFE sexspenders... good lord, he should only be allowed to wear pants with sexspenders....JS

thanks so much Leslie!

more soon!

MWAH! steph

You do realize that it is hard to read through tears, don't you? Anyway, maybe she has swine flu? Pregnant? Malnutrition? (She never eats, something I can't understand.) Love this story!

Author's Response:

she is definitely not eating right ( i don't get it either, i love food... even when i am sick...but she's odd that way i guess)

Swine flu is common... of course stress and malnutrition could be factors as well... hmmm

all good theories. just remember, happy ending... 

thanks so much my dear!

MWAH!

How beautiful!  Maybe Jen will get home soon and Rob can see what a mess she is and take care of her for a while.  That would be nice if she would only let him. I have so enjoyed reading this today! Please let Rob take care of her for a while.  Looking forward to the next chapter.  Thank you for the special feeling this story gives me.

Author's Response:

oh we can only hope she can get home soon.. alas, she is in LA till friday... what trouble can she get into before then?

she is a mess, and really does need Rob to take care of her. because that's what couples do, take care of one another when the other is struggling... sigh... 

i guarantee, Rob will be taking care of her soon. he does truly care about her well being.

so glad you enjoyed this chapter. it brings me joy to see how much people are enjoying this journey!

thanks so much!

MWAH!

wow i still wipeing my eyes :). first off the sexspenders i did not know what they where and goggle while i was reading and let me tell you, his fandom is too much!!!! they had me cracking up at the things they would write. i didnt know that existed! when the story got serious boy did it get serious. it was really beautifully written. thank you so much for updating! oh btw i am still hoping for a pregnant jen!!!

Author's Response:

LOL! oh the sexspenders, as of last week, i was at the top of the sexspenders search, alas they have been popular, and now i am on page 2 of the Google search for sexspenders ( check out Sexspenders and Stoli pictures by holdmeransom for some great pics)  and yes this fandom really is too much. we have a name for everything that boy wears... or does... silly... smirk

so glad you liked the serious. had to be done, hopefully the fun helped lessen the drama.

pregnant jen... we'll have to wait and see....

thanks so much for reading and rating! it means so much to hear from you all! 

more soon!

MWAH!

thanks so much Rachel. i gotta have a little humor there... otherwise my bar would be empty...

thanks so much!

OK. I cried. But at least I wasn't at work. And having got me all worked up into a crying mood, I then cried at the idea of Jen stepping off a plane and seeing Rob there to take her home too; yes I am so going to bawl when that finally happens!

So before we got to the crying bit (for me anyway) I laughed out loud at the part where Mr Wright does the double take when Robs name finally clicks. It was so funny! And the way he thinks she is a crazy fan leaving all her money to some actor she is obsessed with! Because she is! (why am I telling you? You wrote it!) Any way, I loved it.

I really don't want to know why or how Rob has left a pair of his tousers in the back of his car. I mean, a coat or a shirt  maybe, considering  Rob is always wearing loads of layers, but how does someone take off their trousers and not realise?  Does he carry spare pairs around with him to change into? Is he really that organised? LOL!

Obviously I have now gone slightly deranged. It is the combination of crying over your story, giggling like a fan girl over all the Eclipse stuff that has come out this week and thwarted anticipation over the Emancipation Proclamation update that I now haven't got time to read tonight. (Need to Escape came first!)

I'm sorry that updates may be a little slower ( I'm being polite here, I can't tell you what I really think!) but I do genuinly hope that RL is treating you well.

Take care and see you when ever you are ready. *bites nails in desperate anticipation*

Author's Response:

no... i'm not lurking... not at all...

haha

ok first order... hopefully the update wont be too long. maybe just a couple of days... we're definitely not talking WALLBANGER update span... i'm not the cruel... JS... but if not in 6 or 7 days then in 8 or 9 days... we'll get ya there... believe me, i have no nails left to bite...

ahh so glad you cried, is that cruel? well, i just wanted to make sure my folgers gauge wasn't too far off...and oh Jen stepping off the plane into robs arms... sigh... and sniffle...

So glad you could see the little bit of humor. seriously, i'd need a lot more Captain to get thru this chapter if there wasn't at least a little funny... and poor Mr. Wright.. making the connection...hehehe

the sexspenders... maybe he had them to change into... or maybe he had worn them to a photoshoot, but nicked the pants at the photoshoot.. so he had them as extras.... hmmmm.... heehee

thank you my dearest... i love getting your thoughts !

more soon! promise!

MWAH!

Yes I need a hug now!  I knew this would be an emotional chapter so I put off reading it until I could be alone and cry if needed.  I needed!  Yes, I cried.  You made me cry and gave me goosebumps.  But I also laughed out loud at the sexspender pants!  Googled that and saved pics!  Yum. 

Poor Jen.  What a rollercoaster of a day.  And to think that your father in law thinks you are crazy, etc.  But priceless that she called Rob, surprising both Rob and Mr. Wright.  Loved that. 

Jen is so strong!  I am continually amazed by her.  Life just keeps throwing stuff at her and she continually picks herself up and gets on with it.  Yes, she may end up on her butt for a time, but she always gets up.  No wonder Rob loves her. 

Well, I am emotionally drained now.  Not saying that's a bad thing.  It is the sign of a very good writer!  You amaze me with your talent.  Can't wait to read more. 

Well, since i need a hug, I'm sending one to you!  Reading this put me through the wringer.  I imagine writing it did at least that much to you as well.

Jennifer

{{{HUGS}}}

is it cruel that i smile when you say you cried... it makes me feel like maybe the folgers commercials are effecting... so glad you enojoyed the rollercoaster. she has a big lot to tackle, and of course her bit of crazy can only help us along.

Dear Mr Wright... so silly. she is crazy... but not cat lady crazy...

She does have a lot of strength, and she will definitely land on her bum more times than she'd like, but the important thing is she has someone to see her through now.. she had that with her dad, and with mike... and now Rob... fall seven times, get up eight.... it's her mantra in life...

thanks Jennifer, the LA chapters seem to do that to me... what is it about LA? sigh... hugs back, so glad you enjoyed it.

more soon!

MWAH!
