So, I am reading this story again. It has been years but I still remember all of the plot points and all of the pain. But wow... it still hits me in the feels. I try not to be a crier, I'm not good with emotion, but this story hits me.
I don't know if you still check this account. But, if you do, please know that there is a woman in Australia who thinks you are an amazing writer.
Thank you for writing this story.

*sigh* sometimes I hate how Alice always gets her way. And I hate it even more...when Bella lets her. Regardless of whether Alice does it from a good place.
But that's just me.

Bella only has so much patience and Alice is really close to snapping it. And when it happens, Bella will absolutely stand up for herself.

ARGH Emmett just has me ticked the hell off! I know this is a few chapters after his douchbaggery but I just keep fuming about it. Ok now that I have that off my chest...I so love this story and I know that there is a method to the madness.

It was hard and interesting at the same time to write Emmett as such a douche rather than the nice, fun loving guy we see him as in fanfics. Yes, there is a definite method to the madness so keep reading!!

Ok, I know that I'm reading this long after it was finished and won't get any real time input, but I have to say this. I have been trying to understand the logic behind this but just can't. Why is he the villain for trying to protect her from his heart problem and she is not for trying to protect him by leaving? Should he have told her? Yes, absolutely. But he had what he thought at the time were good reasons. She chose to believe his brother's rant and left him at such a critical point in his life instead of talking to him. She also thought her reasons were good. She claims he didn't trust her to tell her about his heart. She didn't trust him to tell him about Emmet's words and stay to work that out. Why does she get to be the wronged party here? She messed up, too. Yeah, she was hurt. Wasn't he? She left by leaving a ridiculously casual note, basically dismissing their whole relationship and now gets to be the one who calls all the shots. Bella agrees to give him another try? What Bella needs to do is accept her huge part in this mess and stop playing the only injured party. This guy deserves sainthood in my opinion.
Author's Response:
I'm sorry that's the message you took from it. It wasn't just lying about his heart that put Edward in the position of needing to earn back trust. It was every lie he told to hide his secret. It was pushing her to be honest while he knew he was lying. He even went so far as to lie about what he would be doing for almost an entire summer away from her and the rest of his family. It was months of deceit that put him in the position of needing to prove himself. As for Bella, she cannot be faulted for believing Emmett when he never once lied to her in all the years of their friendship. He knew Edward better than she did in her opinion so he would know what drove Edward to lie for months. She left out of love and respect for Emmet and the entire Cullen family just as much to make sure Edward was out of harm's way. And she did accept her part in things - she agreed to go to counseling with Edward and she participated and learned to both be a better listener and speaker. No one deserves sainthood in this story because no one is perfect. They are all flawed and all make mistakes - and they all try their hardest to remedy those mistakes and make amends. The story isn't about one person being less wrong than another - it's about accepting that we all screw up and finding a way to forgive ourselves as much as the loved ones who accidentally hurt us.

Hey there,
don't you normally eat your fries with mayo in the us? Is it so out of there that it ended up being a craving in your story, which others find digusting? Becausae I have to tell you it ist perfectly normal here in Germany and I know it also is in beglium, the netherlands and france´, for the rest of europe i am not completely sure, but i can'T imagine it didn't travel another border.
Personally i happen to like peanut butter and banana, arent ther muffins in this combination out there.
Oh and: great story, even if a little long.
LG;
Anna
Author's Response:
In my part of the US, we usually have ketchup. I had never seen anyone eat them with mayo until my sis got pregnant - that part was for her bc she was actually pregnant when I wrote that chapter. Cool that it's normal in your part of the world!!
I'm a peanut butter and banana fan myself - no muffins of that combo that I've seen so far. But I'll keep an eye out!
Thanks, Anna

I really like this Bella in that she's strong. But, I'm not happy that Edward and Alice railroaded her into doing something that she's clearly uncomfortable with and Emmett and Rosalie just stands around making fun. I dislike it when they do this. Bella should be able to say no to things without her friends getting on her ass or making her feel guilty about the fact that she doesn't want to do it and her friends should respect that when she says "no" it means she doesn't want to and when she says that she's uncomfortable with it they should respect that not pander to her telling her it will be fine and she'll thank them later.

Is Edward going to be alright? I'm a little confused as to what happened... Bad a** Bella is awesome!
Date: 15 Oct 2011 1:40 AM Title: The Best Birthday
I have thought alot about that as well. That would also be a good outtake for you to write...what was going through Emmetts mind from when he found out about the accident to when Bella left and no one knew why especially him. Emmett is a hoot before the accident and I loved him even though he was mean to Ed. I still don't know if I understand why he was the way he was to Ed or not besides the Mary situation. But when he was talking to Bella like that I was seething and felt sorry for once in my whole time reading fanfic for Bella. I knew it had to be something that set him off and when we didn't read anything about his reactions to other family members like jasper when he was trying to get it out of her or Rose when she did talk to her, I knew no one suspected anything like that could have happened and Em being the culprit either cause Em was sincere in his temporary amnesia during that time. Am I making any sense at at? Hope. Love the story!
Hugs, Stephanie
Author's Response:
Sometimes there's no easy, concise answer for sibling rivalry - I am still searching for an answer with my nieces LOL. Yeah, no one ever suspected Em was behind Bella pulling away. Hell, he didn't suspect it because he didn't remember talking to her. But like Alice said, somewhere deep down he had to suspect b/c he never attempted to talk to Bella.

Ok I really need to review. I was going to wait but I just have to say this or ask this I mean. I don't mind the wait (wel I do but I am pushing thru it and glad I'm getting to the reunion so to speak.) All I want to know is...is what Emmett did to Bella going to come out in the text? Is he going to be held accountable for what he said to cause of this turmoil between all the six pack?? You can pm so as not to give away spoilers to other review readers. I just need to know if he is going to get a butt kicking or not cause I'm ready to reach in the story and pull him out and knock a good one on him and I LOVE Emmett immensely. He just screwed up royally and I need his apology as well in all this to get over it! HA. Sorry for rambling and I know some people will think Im nuts but thats something I just needed to get off my chest.! For once it wasnt ALL Bella's stupidity that caused all this. Refreshing to say the least. Cant wait til it comes together. I'm getting there slow but sure so you are bound to hear from me again when it happens to know how I feel then. :)

Don't envy Bella and Edward at all - I only had 2 kids - 21 months apart - but they were hellions to keep up with! And they have the 3 of them!
Thanx for this enjoyable outtake! I really miss this story!

Date: 14 Aug 2011 6:11 PM Title: Edward's POV First Date
It's funny how much underlying foreboding I could pick up in this chapter since I knew what was wrong with Edward. Seeing just how much Emmett teased him and how it affected him. Even with this last scene where he says that Emmett would tease him about being tired out, just makes me want to smack Emmett. I'm not saying Edward wasn't wrong in keeping it from everyone, but with how everything played out, plus the hard feelings for what Emmett did to Bella, he is not totally innocent in it either.

Like the story so far, but have to be honest that I think Edward has a right to be pissed at Bella for running out on him too. For all her thinking that she can't trust Edward, he has the right to think the same thing about her.
Author's Response:
They both have the right to be annoyed with the other. Relationships aren't easy and when two people have pasts like they do, making a fresh future can be full of complications and setbacks.

I was so excited when I saw this posted. It's nice to get a look into what Edward was thinking and feeling during that first chapter but also it was like a blast from the past in the story. It was like reliving the beginning of their relationship but now with the knowledge of what happens afterward.
There were points where I had to think and remember what happened in the beginning, like what Bella and Alice were talking about when they went off by themselves before Edward brought Bella's drink over.
I hope there will be at least a couple more outtakes. I'm having attachment issues with this story and the little outtakes here and there help keep my clingy side to a minimum.
Author's Response:
There will definitely be some more outtakes. We are working on the First Date from Edward's POV right now. Then we are going to have a couple chapters with the babies, like when Emmett and Bella really start to work things out. We also *hope* to have the first Halloween with the babies. We will definitley have their first Christmas - this is being written for Charity for the Fandom for LLS. Details are up on my website. :)

And Im loving how everyone seems to be guessing at whats wrong with Bella and is getting it on the nose! But how has no one noticed that shes not spoken to Emmett? Although Edward noticed she flinches when hes mentioned, but Bella didnt pick up ono him saying thats twice now, or at least didnt ask about the 1st time! Intriguing! Lol!
Ok, Im done humming and hawing for this chapter. Lol!

OMG!! They actually went ahead and had Edward move in?! Ooo! I can see the shit hitting the fan!! Ooo! Is Bella going to move into Embrys place?
I cant wait to see where this is gonna go! And i keep thinking Numb nuts is Emmett or Edward but then theres stuff been said that makes it seem kinda obvious its not, but theres just something niggling at me that we know who numb nuts is! Lol!
And the past few chapters from when they were in hospital have made me feel kinda sick, angry and upset. But in a god way, in the sense that your writing is making me feel how the character should be feeling. I felt so sorry for Bella and I hated Emmett and oh, it was horrible, i felt like I was going throuhg the 'break up' too! :(

Ooo! Interesting! They really seem to be working things ot. And they're taking their time but to be honest Emmett and Alice are pissing me off more than Edward and Bella with their presumptions and the way they're being so careful incase they screw up again! Theres a few times in the past couple of chapters that Alice has done or said something, like when she unlocked Bellas bedroom door and walked in,that I just wanted to scream and slap her! And Emmett with all his comments towards Edward, wow what a dick! I mean it was years ago and its not like Edward did anything on purpose, its not his fault the girl wanted him and not Emmett. Ok, i think Ive talked enough about that.
But overall Im loving the story! Its really well written! The storyline is amazing! Im not normally a fan of AH stories but I read them every now and then and this has to be one of the best! :)

I am SO sad that this ride is ending! I've been 'on' it for so many, many months and have enjoyed every bit of it.
Kinda seemed, tho, that the last few chapters flew through their lives. I would've loved to read more about the pregnancy, about the baby shower, about the total chaos of the triplets' first year - but that's because I can never get enough.
This last chapter was so sweet - wonderful glimpses into their family life. The kids and their relationships with the adults ("my Jazzy" - perfect!), Bella's and Edward's still awesome relationship, Edward finally getting his business... Loved it all!
Thanx so much for this awesome reading enjoyment. This has been my fave fanfic of all time!
Author's Response:
Thank you! To have someone call this story their fave fanfic is an amazing honor. EA and I appreciate it greatly.
LOL - Yes, it is hard to get enough of the characters you really enjoy. We are going to have a few outtakes here and there to give a little more glimpse.

Babies! Awesome :)
Wonder how long the Tony nickname will stick. I'm bettin' that not long after some calls out for Toby and Tony comes running, or neither come and claim that they thought the other was being called, Tony will be out and Anthony will be in. (I'm of the firm belief that parents should try calling a potential baby name out before settling on one, see how it rolls of the tongue since they'll spend more time chasing after their kids and calling for them than anything once their mobile). And I think of Toby as a dog's name, but only because my grandma had a dog for over a decade named just that, so pay me no nevermind. Besides, I've always said I should name my kids Thing 1, Thing 2 and Hey You, just to make it easier on myself :)

ha ha! Thing 1 and 2! Somehow, I don't think that would translate well once the kids go to school :)

I love the babies, and their names, they are truly perfect. So happy that everything is ok, sad that Bella will never have babies of her own again but it is ok, this is the way it is meant to be.
Author's Response:
Yep! This way, everyone is healthy and happy!

YAY!!!! The babies are here! It seems they are learning how to get in a groove with their new additions. THANK GOD for family! It seems that their story is coming to a close. I HATE that thought, am I right?!? I will really miss this story. I don't want it to end. :( Thanks for another great chapter! :)
Author's Response:
Yes, it's coming to close. One more chapter and then maybe a couple outtakes, but definitely ending.

Names are very cute! And it is so nice that the babies were born on Aaron's birthday - that was a nice touch.
Sorry that the story is winding down, but loving all the lovin' that's in the air. So great that everyone is helping out. Jake being so helpful and responsible was a pleasant surprise. I think everyone has checked in now, and checked out the babies.
So glad Bella got over all her apprehensions and is loverin' her Edward.
Thanx for all the reading enjoyment!
Author's Response:
Maybe one of these days I will write one without an HEA, but I doubt it ;)
Aaron's birthday seemed like the only choice once we saw when Bella would get pregnant.

OMG it's really coming to an end. I don't know what I'll do when I don't have WTB updates to look forward to.
I have to admit I was surprised that not only was there a proposal in this chapter but also the wedding. I'm glad that the proposal happened as it did though. I just couldn't see ExB's proposal happening in front of everyone. Heck they had a hard enough time saying "I love you" to each other let alon in front of everyone so I didn't see that proposal going over well. I loved that Bella made a flower ring and proposed first. That was definitely WTB ExB.
I can't wait for the babies! In a way Alice did kind of get her namesake.
In honor of this chapter and all the quoting glory I thought I would end on a quote. I read this and thought of this story.
"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairytale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happily ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away." -Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)
Author's Response:
Don't worry, we are already plotting a new story so we'll keep you busy! LOL
Yeah, Bella managed to surprise everyone. ha ha!
Alice def kinda did, but she's Alice so she will continue trying to get a full-on namesake. She doesn't give up easy! :)
Love the quote! Thank you so much for sharing!

I enjoyed the update and didn't expect them to get married. Totally unexpected but I was happy to see it happen. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response:
EA and I are tickled that we could still surprise you all this many chapters into the story! Glad you all enjoyed the wedding & proposals!

Good Chapter...

loved the wedding cant wait for the next ch. maybe we"ll find out some names for the babies
Author's Response:
Baby names are def coming in the next chapter!

OMG, I am crying like a baby, all I can say about this one is "absolutely perfect in every way." This sums up E getting the ring with Carlisle and visiting Elizabeth, Esme and Bella's talk. The proposals...yes I mean both of them, and of course the wedding, I love that you did that from Esme's POV.
Thanks for yet another great chapter.
Jen
Author's Response:
Aw! Yes, that does sum it up nicely. Esme's POV gave the best view of their lives in that snapshot moment and it was a pleasure to write for her. SO glad you enjoyed it!

Such a lovely, sweet chapter! Watching Bella break down over picking up a crib, her proposal to Edward (sigh!), his to her, the wedding, the vows...
Don't like the thought that this is almost ending...it's been a part of my life for too long (eagerly and impatiently waiting for updates!) Hope you still keep finding bits of story to tack on, so it never ends!
Thanx for this reading enjoyment!!!
Author's Response:
LOL All stories end at some point. But this one will have outtakes so it will go on a bit longer!

The game that changed it all was great and I wondered if that was where the bumblebee came from.
I had worried she had been raped like Rose and that was why she could not have children'
This is a great story

Even excited about seeing each other again, everyone was pretty rude ignoring Bella and not making introductions, I would have walked out too. EVeryone except Melody pretty much ignored her.

Another great chapter!!! Those two have had one CRAZY year! She still has a long road ahead, but she has so many people that love her, too. Thank you! :)
Author's Response:
Yep! Lots of people, lots of love, and one Edward. She'll be fine!

I have always been Team Edward, but, girl, I am in love with your Jasper!!! He is awesome! (Not to say that Edward isn't, but your Jasper is definitely a keeper!)
So glad to see some things getting back to normal. Sad to see Bella getting all spiked. And that doctor who sedated her? Let Emmett loose on him!
Wow - it's been a whole year for these two! Happy to see how far they've come. Hope you're not yet ready to end their adventure, at this year anniversary. Still need to meet babies, and see Edward get a ring on her finger.
Thanx for all this reading enjoyment! (And loved the Bella/Alice time!)
Author's Response:
Thank you!! Jasper has been so awesome to write for in this story and I have loved every scene he's stolen!
Nope! We're gonna go a little beyond the anniversary. :)

I love, love, loved this chapter. I loved the APOV, it was nice to know where Ali's head is.
I am sad for E about his business but I still the job that he has now is more conducive to having 3 babies and a Bella. I do hope he buys her some jewelry soon....
So Emmett is winning back brownie points, and I love the placard, as well as the shirt. I so want that shirt, although I am not pregnant, it could refer to my fat too, right?
lol
Author's Response:
LOL! Sure if you want the shirt to! LOL

Aw so cute. I love how sweet they are around each other again. Even with another scare, there isn't a lasting problem. I'm glad Alice was able to get a little of her frustration and anger out without really hurting Emmett. I think he needs to get a good wake up call from everyone to have an idea of how big he screwed up.
There might not have been kungfu moves from ninjabell but she has stealthy mind tricks to go with her ass-kicking manuevers.
Now to go check out that costume!
Author's Response:
Hee hee! Mind tricks! Love it!

Oh my god. Freakin' amazing. I would have reviewed every chapter but I was too excited to proceed to the next one! Please update soon!

this story is great and cant wait for the next chapter :)
Date: 06 Jun 2011 12:25 AM Title: Life After You
I love Bree even more after this chapter! I enjoyed this chapter particularly because it showed everyone's maturity (or lack of maturity) in the handling of Emmett's confession. Your story is so true to reality in that therapy takes time, forgiveness doesn't just appear when you want it to. Your characters emphasize that resentment can't dissipate when you tell it to. I hope everyone forgives Emmett (eventually. As in, a LONG time from now). Although, I wouldn't mind it if someone (The Chief? Jacob?) never did. There is no such thing as a tabula rasa!
Author's Response:
So glad you are enjoying Bree. I had no idea when I first introduced him that he would turn into such an integral party of the story. But he has and I love every scene he's in! So glad to know you guys are enjoying him too.
