First, michelle let me say yes we want a long chapter, lol!!! Tonight, I began reading HS from the beginning. Also I will confess, I have seen it earlier but wanted to wait till more chapters were posted. I absolutely love this story!! I have read your story People Like Us many times, loved it too, and may I say cant wait for that sequel. My heart breaks in this story for Bella. But, she is right where she needs to be. Im sorry she's loosing her baby, but Edward and the Cullen's will help her heal!!!

Wow! Lots of good stuff happening...until the end! I would have been fine with a "huge ass" chapter, but I'm also impatient & greedy! ;)
I love the development of everyone, and how Bella is feeling a little more comfortable. I'm glad that Emmett learned more about her past. That way we learn more and the rest of the family can also, without Bella having to retell it. I liked seeing her interact with the kids, and helped talk to Bree. I love that she is talking to Edward every night. You know, I could go on and on about every little thing in here, but I'll stop now with this summary - I love it all and can't wait for more! I was excited to see this pop up earlier in the week, and am glad to hear the next one isn't too far behind! Thank you!! :)

i am thrilled bella started her new job and seems to b doing a great job.
alice got to love her. how she placed things in places so bella could afford the, loved it.
bella is so good with the kids. i love her around them. the patience and fun she has. it was a great night.
i feel for em having to hear all the crap she went through. i am glad the little kids are somewhere safe. i truly hope they are safe and not in a worse home. i hope the stupid foster parents fry for what they did to those kids.
so much happened in this chapter. i loved it all.
my heart is going out to bella and what could be happening. but then at the same time her secret will be out and there will be no more secrets. how will edward handle the baby. what will happen to the baby. will she lose it and be heart broken or will things fall into plac where she has to rely on others to help her get through this mis firtune. love it

I think that Jasper was wrong. I wish Edward would have left her a note of texted her or soemthing. I liked that Bella and Edward had a confrontation and worked through it.
Since Bella is only 10 weeks pregnant, can you kind of give a timeline from her birthday to where we are now? How long was she on the road with Billy, etc.
I know you have more things to reveal to us, but you are doing a great job so far.
until next time.

wow bella spent 4 hours looking around the town and she even ate at the dinner. the town seems so welcoming and making you want to make it your home. i can't wait for the boys too do there checking on bella and what they find out. so loving it and can't wait for the next chapter. i am glad she is not running but putting her tw feet down and staying strong and moving forward

I'm so glad Bella and Edward got to talk and overcome their first meeting. I love all your characters so far. Little Brady is just the cutest; and I loved how he thinks all Cullen men are irresistable. Well, let's face it....they are! This was a great chapter. Only one more to read and I'm all caught up.

I think Jasper was an ass to question her at the dinner table with guests (Billy and Sue) present! He could have waited until it was just Esme and Carlisle or Edward there so as not to advertise his distrust.

I am glad that Edward and Bella would not be getting together too quickly, despite their attraction. I think Jasper was very wrong to interrogate her at a family lunch esp., with the children there. Poor Bella really does need to work on her polka face. I wonder how long it will take the Cullen’s to work out she is pregnant. I suspect that Esme already has inkling.
Excellent work as always. J

Sorry not to have reviewed till now but RL ... I adore this story and it is fast becoming one of my all time favorites! It reads like a novel; the characters are being developed well and you always allow the reader an inside look into each of their souls. In this chapter it was Jasper. Interestingly enough, Bella understands his motives and while they may make her uncomfortable, as she told Carlisle and Brady, she understands his motives and even applauds them quietly. BRADY! How cute is he! I want to physically go hug him he's so perfect.
I look forward to all our updates, but today was a particularly off kind of day- it's even raining again - and this update just made my whole day. Thank you many times over for that and I'm looking forward to the further goings-on in Hope Springs. By the way, the pictures mixed in are like extra special surprises! Take care.

omg i have to say i love love the kids. they are too cute. brady ahhhhhh he steals the show. i love that bella is so patient and enjoys to be with them. i love that she can be herself with them and know they don't want to hurt her or want anything from her. i love that she was able to have dinner with paul and rachel. it is a start of being on her own and being around people. i am also glad the family is coming around. they pick up on things with bella. she just needs a chance to prove herself and have others prove they aren't out to get her. she has had a rough 18 years. man more than anyone. she is a strong girl. to have gone through what she has and still be walking and trying to make something of herself and take care of a baby. i am hoping once things settle down and she has her job secure and homelife secure that down the road maybe she will be able to help the little ones she left behind and give them a fighting chance before they end up with someone taking the hope from them.
my cousin is fostering a little girl because she and her husband can't have any kids. this little girl is so troubled becuse she was born addicted. but with my cousin and her husband doting on her and giving her a fighting chance she has a shot. they are in the process now to adopt her. took 2 years but finally. too bad not everyone that is in the foster care system has a loving home and a family that cares. breaks my heart. i am so loving your story and can't wait for the next chapter. love it

I don't think Bella is weak at all! My heart goes out to her and everything she has endured. But I also feel that what she has endured is the proof of her strength. I think I am going to cry every time I read about her past, or when she opens up (like the hug with Esme), but that just proves to me how wonderful this story is written. I truly feel for her.
Now, on a happier note - that Brady is frickin' adorable!! "I's ‘resispa-til"...so cute! I really like the bond/relationship forming between Bella & Esme. I also like that B&E have started over on friendlier terms. I can't wait to watch this develop. Thank you for sharing this amazing story!

I loved it!! What is so amazing about your stories is how you introduce them as separate entities and then as you tell their story, you weave them together so intrinsically that they become this beautiful tapestry.
Like PLU, those characters were individuals but the time the story ended (the first part), you couldn't imagine one without the other.
HS is amazing. It took me a few chapters to get a feel for these characters....but now, I can't get enough! Just like PLU, I anxiously await the updates.

Thank you for sharing this story...I can't wait to see what happens next and where it goes. I have a feeling this is going to become a favorite of mine and one I will never forget! :)

The scene where Bella's talking to her baby is so sweet and tender. Amazing.

Skittish iis an understatement. Poor b has serious self esteem issues. Hope she gets some prenatal care soon.

You know you have a nice story. I so wish that Bella was not always the down trodden broken little waife. She could be so much more. She is now going to pick fruit and live in a shed, why because she is an orphan and penniless. How fitting to be with those rich Cullen's who are judging her for her misfortune. The fact she keeps her life to herself adds to this.
I hope these things improve for her. She gets a good job in town maybe if it is just as a waitress or something. Independent and growing up. Then of course there is the baby. She may want this baby, but in reality she needs to concider addoption. Why because she is a few years shy of being able to handle this on her own.

Hmmm... Edward is a horny little devil isn't he?
A little background on Edward, it should prove interesting.
I'm glad they found her, but am curious why she is petrified of dogs.
I love your new story... and all of the characters.

Happy New year to you! Can I say that the most endearing thing so far is the way Edward talks to Rufuss and now Milo. I too treat my animals like they human and even above average mentally lol. Well except the pitbull mix, he is just plain dumb but very very loyal to his "mommy" lol. Bella is soooo skittish, have a feeling its going to take a while before she warms up to Edward and maybe even longer to the dog. Poor girl, something bad happened for her to be so scared of dogs. See ya next chapter, thanks so much for this one.

I know I've already said this, and I apologize in advance because I think it will be a common thing from me...but I love this story! I find myself thinking about it often, wondering what's going to happen next. I can almost picture it all in my mind like a movie or tv show! I have it my my favs both here & FF, but I like it here because you throw in pics once in a while. It adds to the movie/tv effect nicely! Anyways, thanks again for sharing and I can't wait to see what happens next! :)

Sorry I got behind, but I have to tell you that I am seriously loving this. You have me hooked. I quit reading new WIP's a while back because too many were walking away from their stories and leaving us readers hanging in the blaze of fire, yearning for completion. I however have faith in you my friend. I am super excited, and I wish that the chapters were coming faster already, so you know you have me hook line and sinker. You rick my sicks sweetie, love ya hard core.
XOXO,

Michele - I am so sorry that I am late for the ride! So I just caught up with all three chapters and I am so hooked. I have to admit that read this last night at 1 am and I swear I dreamed of your broken and dark Edward. I think this Edward will be even more delicious than your last one. The piercing and the tat are good! I don't know how you are going to bring this broken 18 year old girl into this story but I am looking forward to watching you do it. Congratulatins on the completion of PLU (I absolutely loved it and have started to read it over again) and thank you for continuing to write another story.
