While Edward in the tent (not at the beginning of the scene, but when he's talking to Jake) is one of my favorite looking Edwards, I much prefer Rob too! Even BuzzcutRob. Well, maybe not the buzz cut.

Anyway, I think it's kind of cool that Sam is still cautious with accepting Jen. He's most concerned about Rob and that's fine. I wouldn't be surprised if over time, Sam becomes one of her biggest supporters. I think he'll appreciate who she is and her loyalty to Rob.

I'm really looking forward to Orcas. So much has happened since they were there last. I wonder how it will change their experience this time.

Finally, she's starting to see the light. I was going to say, before she had her revelation, that she might not want motherhood enough if she was allowing biology to get in the way. I'm thankful that I was able to give birth to my kids, but there was a time that we thought I couldn't get pregnant and were starting the adoption process. Motherhood is the only job that I always knew I wanted. I even had a dream as a child that I was married to Robin (as in Batman and...from the TV show) and our child was BamBam. Yeah, that young I knew.

Your Rob is so wise in many ways, especially about love and family. Maybe its because he was brought up in a loving environment. Whatever the reason, he understands.

And they are so perfect for each other. When one falters, the other carries the load. I loved Rob's strength for Jen at the doctor's office.

This was a great chapter, Steph! Maybe one of my favorites, which is saying a alot because I've read a lot of chapters! :)

Goodnight. Off to dream of fuzzy heads. Well, one in particular. ;)

I keep going back and forth on the outing of their relationship. I'm ambivalent right now.

Meaghan. I could totally hear her teenage squeeing in my brain. Almost got a headache from that and I can't actually hear her. I don't know that Rob talking to her was such a good idea, but I'll just have to wait and see.

I'm glad they're back in Chiswick. Giving them some quiet time together seems well-earned.

Okay, that's it for me tonight.

and yes, crap! i need to get cracking on more chapters! ACK! you're almost up to date!

MWAH!

The reconciliation had me teary eyed. Well done!

Robb is still an ass, but at least he's a contrite one and he's trying hard to be better. I love that he encouraged Jen to be a mom. I also love that she now has the DVDs of the family.

And telling Meaghan about Rob (sort of) the way she did? Sneaky & brilliant!

Ash Coud or Fate? Good name for a band. Though I kept thinking of "brain cloud" from Joe Versus the Volcano.

Author's Response:

BWHAHAHAHA! oh how I loved Joe vs. the Voicano! it was one of the movies I watched while I was in labor... along with Galaxy Quest... after 4 days of watching them, you'd think i was tired of them! NOPE! snort

sigh... yeah Robb is still an ass, for sure. But family is family. and these two need each other, regardless, you know? Sometimes, it just takes time and work from both sides... 

thanks hun! 

MWAH!

Last one for the evening. I know. I should be sleeping now.

As I was getting ready for bed and thinking about what I'd read up to that point (about 1/2 of the chapter, give or take), I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if Meaghan was really into Twilight too?" not even thinking that she could be Robsessed as well. That'll earn Jen some points if Rob actually does get there.

Now that we know he is buying art, and it also sometimes seems like he is reading the story (cello comment, etc.), maybe something can happen in the story that encourages him to give to charity.  $17,000 for two collectible guitars is a great holiday gift to receive, but giving to a charity is so much more meaningful.  His charity could be something like Planned Parenthood, that helps people with their conception, birth, family planning, etc.  Just an idea.  Thanks for your wonderful stories.

I'm so glad that Jen finally shared the plan with Rob. Not only is she not keeping secrets, but he's willing to help the cause.

I'm not sure if I already said this, but I think that Jen is either going to eventually start leaking the pics herself or even post a whole "coming out" website with all the pics on it. 

Loved how Jen handled Nick and thrilled that she scares him a bit. Good for her!

Yes...let just a few tears fall on that chapter. NOT! Beautifully written...

I had to show you how Yahoo Babel Fish translated one of the lines that Rob said to Jen in French. Sadly, I took French in HS and hardly remember anything. But I still don't think this is what he said: "You summers so pretty, my expensive."  LOL Stupid Bable Fish!!

I realize that her collection of pics of them together will help to prove their relationship down the line, but I don't understand why she won't share her plan with Rob.

DuRob? Verah, verah sexy! I need to get a corset. j/s

And she did work on reviewing in this chapter, so it's not like it got completely ignored right off the bat. See, not so bad. :)

Author's Response:

Yay! I'm gal dshe didn't give up on the reviews! bwhahaha. i probably worried back then that she would look like she abandoned it... funny the things I forget about! LOL

A yes the translation...that is a long stretch from " You are so beautiful, my love" LMAO

Why will she not tell her plan. she's a little afraid to tell him until she figures out if it will even be worthwhile to do. She's still figuring it out. fleshing out the details. lol

gah.... I wrote that little bit I think the first r second day of Bel Ami shooting when the first pics leaked... I was a goner for duRob... still am... I'm salivating for March!

thanks my dearest! 

MWAH!

steph

Please hurry and update. Love this story, wanting to know whats next lololololol

Okay, last review of the first day of 2012.

I love Jen's machinations. She's a shrewd one! And I love that Rob is so turned on by her sneeky ways. :)

Still think RM is his best work to date, though need to see Bel Ami fully. Trailers aren't enough.

Was also checking out her/your blog. I hadn't thought she was posting all this time. I enjoy reading the entries and Rob's responses. It doesn't look like anything was posted after her RM post. Will the reason for that be in the story?

Nitey, nite.

Author's Response:

She is crafty... and with Rob supporter her diabolical plans... oh boy! 

I can't wait for Bel Ami and now cosmpolis. david cronenberg has had so many nice things to say about him... I am so excited by that! 

ah the blog... *cough* I got a little busy.... sigh... I wish, knowing what I know now in prepping and how the blogs work, that i could have advance written some of those. I especially loved writing his responses. but sadly I can't back date his... so I didn't post new ones. sigh... I wish i had the hackers know how to do that, cuz it was so much fun doing the blog. Of course... Jen is pretty busy with her life after RM... so we can blame it on her... LOL

Happy 2012 my dear! 

MWAH!

If you were referring to his Eclipse commentary, I found it both endearing and gross. Especially when he burped. That really should have been cut. Ewww. But it was so Robish, it adds to his loveableness (??).

I noticed that when Jen is depressed, she refers to it as "Rob's house." I have to wonder if there will be a time that even when she's upset she'll still consider it their house.

Sorry to say, but I think that their walk down the red carpet will be thwarted. j/s

I'm wondering if you will have Kristen go to Budapest for her birthday, just like in RL. Don't tell me, just something for me to ponder until I get there.

Author's Response:

oooh, you're good! noticing the "Rob's house" thing! hehehe

yeah the burping was a little much, i am still amazed by some of his comments that clearing sounded like he was jabbing at the film... but he's Rob... who could tell him to redo? right? certainly not Summit... hmmm

*zipping lips* I won't say... *grins*

 

MWAH!
