Wow, those Nutley's are worse with the "stare" than the Pattinson's! LOL
I think she did a great job standing up to them. Even Mr. P. thought so too.
Great chapter. Yay, Christmas is finally coming!
Hmmmm, a name for the story. Not sure, but I like:
"The Great Escape".
Oh well, I thought it was good! LOL
Hugs,

Bravo Jen. Total class. Aunt Diane is the dress rehearsal for the crazy glare of Rob's world. Jen has the stiff upper lip the British are famous for. Nana Nutley will observe and watch them and recognize the relationship for what it really is. True love. The Duet between Rob and Jen will mesmerize them all. This is where their true feelings are expressed -thru their music. Nana will admire JEn's ability and stamp of approval will be done with a quiet look. I get the feeling that Clare is her mother's child. THru and thru. And perhaps some comment will be made to Diane by Nana. DIdn't she say her mother had wished she had continued with the cello. My opinion.
Dear Sweet Rob. How he wants everyone to share in his happiness. Jen knew better. She's taking control.
He will rely on her strength.
You can't win them all. Don't even try. Always be who you are. Jen has faced her fears. Head held high I really love her.
Christmas morning. Can't wait. Did the spirits perform a miracle in one night with the lighting of the candles. Will her Dad and Mike be with her in spirit and help create a new special memory. She deserves it.
Author's Response: Sigh... again moved to tears... I just love your reviews my dear... i am going to respond backwards, forgive me...
The lighting of the candles has such meaning for me, as a fallen Catholic, as a Wiccan, as a spiritual person without religion... Candles have always symbolised hopes and miracles and dreams to me... so for you to say that about her father and Mike helping to create a special memory... just brought me to tears...
now onto the harder stuff... Jen was internally bracing for this battle wasn't she? she got off easy with how wonderful and accepting the Inner Ring was... but this is truly a test and a taste of what is to come. And Nana... oh yes... a lot will ride on the Matriarch's view, won't it?Will Diane be coerced or will she convince Nana that Jen is not the right one?
Rob, dear sweet young Rob... Not everyone can see the beauty... Nick, Diane, many fans.... Jen needs to be strong.. or they won't last the stress, will they? they have so much stacked up against them....
The music.... i am excited to have you read it... I will preface the story with music notes... for those that want to hear it as they play it....
thanks so much my dearest... As always, I simply love getting your review!
MWAH!

As always Steph, the last few chapters have been great! RL has been dominating and demanding (and not in a good way! *wink*). Thank you for such a great story that allows me to relax and keep my mind occupied!
For a title for RPOV, I was thinking about all the ways that Jen has changed Rob's life since he ran into her store. Initially he physically needed to escape the paparazzi and she rescued him... but it seems to me that as the story progressed she rescued him emotionally as well. To reflect this I was thinking that his title could be something like "Rescue Me".
Good luck with finding a good title, I'm looking forward to the next chapter and RPOV when its complete!
Author's Response: Thanks my dearest! i am so happy i can provide you a little comfort from real life! I know you guys bring a smile to my face when i read your reviews!
I love your reasoning for your title! Gosh So many great ideas! I simply love you guys!
I am so excited to get chapter 1 of the RPOv out for you guys!
thanks my dear!

*SNIFF*.....
Poor Jen - and really poor Rob! I would be in tears if a family member said something like that about the person I loved :( He's so insecure in her feelings, isn't he!?
I've been looking forward to the internal meltdown that Jen has for a while - and the introduction of the Nutley's! Hooray!
Steph, your chapters are always an emotional roller coaster, and this one didn't disappoint! (like that's even possible!)
I'm gonna put my overtaxed brain onto a title for the RPOV - I just need a little Friday evening Tri-O inspiration!

Author's Response: Poor kids.... to hear it from strangers is one thing...but yes...family is quite another...
Yeah... This is all new to Rob... what would he do if she just walked out, not able to handle it... I think his biggest fear may not be the public opinion, but how she will be able to handle it. Will she be able to handle the stress... will it be too much? will she cave?
Ah her meltdown... She's got a lot to worry about doesn't she?
I like rollercoasters, what can i say...hehehe...isn't life just one big rollercoaster- reminds me of the wise words of the grandma in the movie PARENTHOOD-
Grandma: You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster.
Gil: Oh?
Grandma: Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride!
Gil: What a great story.
Grandma: I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.
it's one of my favorite lines... sigh... i like the rollercoasters too grandma...
thanks my dear terri!
Tri-O's!

Steph, my dear, you have outdone yourself yet again.
Sometimes I wonder if there are things in there just for me. Nobody expects the... You're killing me! Perhaps Aunt Diane would know the air speed of a swallow... No, that would be cruel, wouldn't it?
At first, the "guilt rant" was just funny, but when you described her repeated visits to church while Mike was in Iraq, it was heartwrenching. The feeling of guilt that, perhaps, if she'd continued to go to church, he would still be there. Gah. Killed me dead.
The Nutleys were something else. I guess this is the British proper ladies version of whippin' 'em out and measuring, huh? But Jen held up! I was a little nervous there, but she came through. I do think Grams is going to be Switzerland for a while, but the cougar comment was cold. Damn! Does she think the whole family is deaf? Sheesh. I dearly hope that his POV includes a little chat with Aunt Diane on Christmas Day. Flinging figgy pudding would be totally acceptable in my book.
Lizzy was great. Any woman would know that the dressing down Jen took was going to take its toll. I was actually a little miffed that Rob was more worried about himself there for a minute. Although his vulnerability was adorable. He showed his 23-ness in that moment, didn't he?
Bless Clare holding her hand in the car. And I will forevermore love Mr. P as you've written him. He reminds me of a British version of my godfather. Slightly clumsy but warmhearted and always knowing just the thing to say to soften the mood. Even if it has to be at his own expense.
The Claudia pictures scene was brilliant, and I loved how you got the Zygote Rob reference in there. Genius! The interplay you have between the family members is great, but I guffawed at the "outer ring" comment. That was hysterical!
Her mental mind vomit is beyond amazing. I don't know about most people, but that's totally how my mind works. I went to a seminar once where they called it "monkey mind," and I have no idea if that's a good thing or not, but I suffer from it. I'm not surprised that you do too, and Jen by extension.
As for Rob's POV... after careful deliberation, my submission is: Willing Hostage.
So there you go. Tri-O girls forever, bb!
Love ya, ET! And in case you haven't noticed, tomorrow begins noms for the Faithful Shipper Awards, so expect to see your name in lights soon! MWAH!
Author's Response: Hehehee... No one expects...heheehe... but is it an African swallow? hehehe
ah the catholic guilt can be funny, as a fallen catholic can tell you... but yes... what if Jen? very sad to test your faith in God, or your world or even fate by something like that....
Ah the Nutley's... They are more conventional perhaps, even if they are Clare's family... or maybe it's just Diane... what does she have against Jen. overprotective mother hen had her judgement made long before Jen I bet.... and the comment... heartless... absolutely... she is so sure of herself. What will Nana think? will seh see beyond the years, will she see their love in their eyes?
Oh how i love Lizzy...Because really, Jen has never known sisterhood, nor has she really had many female friends it seems. But so much of her self discovery has developed with Lizzy with her... what a wonderful comfort to have her as a shoulder. And Rob.. somewhere he has to be a bit immature in his behavior, right? Awkward and unsure how to act? yeah... just 23...sigh
Clare and Mr. P... such wonderful "parents" where she has none. She truly has found a home where love is important. And as i have said.. I simply ADORE Mr. P... i just want to hug him and never let him go....
hehehe... Claudia... and you like how i didn't go into detail over them? leave it to your imagination what those evil sisters may have done to him! hehehe. shudders over Zygote Rob..... haha! gladyou liked Outer Ring... :)
yes...you , me... jen... i can see the mental mind vomit so well... i like monkey mind!
so many good title suggestions! i have a spreadsheet started! hahahha!
saw the Faithful shippers post! um.... you too girly! RPF's unite!
love you my dear! Tri-O's forever!

Lovely! I can't wait for Christmas!
A title for your RPOV, hmm? And, it needs to tie in with NTE? What about, "Escape into My Forever," or "My Forever Escape?" I hope I'm not cheating by throwing two into the pot!
Please hurry with the next chapter! I want to see if I'm right about what his gift to Jen will be.
Author's Response: Thanks my dear!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! aMAZING STORY!! Love the realism because in the real world the would be some oppostiton to older woman younger man relationships. Love how the rest of the family showed their love and support of Jen. They make such an amazing couple. Wish they get married and have/adopt babies. Are you gong to have Jen enter Rob's acting world i.e. famous friends and the spotlight (premieres, award shows). Such a well written story, it is absolutely on of my all time FAVORTIE stories.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! your words ring true so well.. reality can be harsh and cruel, and to have this much love for one another... simply magic...
They will need to come out eventually won't they? ahh. marriage and babies... maybe... there is always adoption...
and i look at some of the other Hollywood stars with normal significant others... and hope that they realize that it can happen... that while rob is crazy popular, maybe it won't be so bad...maybe...

I love to be able to follow their journey together through all obstacles like family and fans! They love eachother so much and his family picks up on this and support their relationship unconditionally.
As for Aunt Diane and probably some of his fans, you can't win them all!
I do have a question though; what's happening to Jen's bookstore? I think it has been closed for about a month already, surely a business can't survive something like that.
As for the title of RPOV; how about "Finding my safe haven" or "Escaping the Need"?
Looking forward to the exchange of Christmas presents, Rob's reaction to the guitar and their impromptu concert! Update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks my dearest! yep... life's little twists and turns, and how wonderful that they have that support system in his family.
Yep...some will be angry... oh Aunt Diane... why...
AHHA!!! i was wondering when someone would ask about her life she left behind! it has been closed for about 3 weeks. and then there was the time she was with him on the island... she is planning on going back to make arrangements.... it had been her diversion to get away from anything relating to Mike... so will she keep it? or sell it to stay with Rob? hmmmm.
got your title ideas! so many good ones! thank you!

Great update Steph! I'm glad that the age issue was addressed and put to rest..atleast for a little while. I loved the convo b/q liz and Jen. I can't remember if Rob's family knows she can't have children?
As for the title, how about Need Your Strength. A play on how Rob uses Jen's strength to help him. Of course, Jen uses his too. This is why I only read ff, not write it. I leave that up to the professionals!
-Jen
Author's Response: Thanks my dear! Yeah, bit by bit.. the age thing gets wittled away, doesn't it? so glad you liked the intteraction between Liz and Jen. Jen has such a great friend in Liz, doesn't she?
The family does not know.Rob could have blurted it out when he told Liz everything, but he didn't. Liz may know about her losing her baby though...we'll have to see...
