Thanks for the coffee Cups! Same time next week I hope. Im off to start the next one now!

Thanks fanette for the review and the bday wishes. I am completely Team Edward so there is no way that I can allow his beloved character to get killed. He may get hurt, but hes not going to die, lol. James deserves whats coming to him. Thanks for supporting MD =)

Hi Fanette....Now you know I might put the boys through hell and close calls.....but kill Carlisle off...no way, don't worry!  :) I'm one of his biggest fans.

Thanks for the coffee cups, you know how much I love them. ttyl.....Diane

Oh James always does in the end.....he's a great villian. Thanks, Diane

Hey there fanette....I never knew how difficult writing a lemon was....lol. I have so much respect for people who do it now and manage to give me that warm and fuzzy feeling. My Carlisle thanks you for thinking he's hot. :)

 Thanks for the coffee that always makes my day. Hope to hear from you again next chapter....I might put another one out this week. Later, Diane

I have no choice but to squeeze more soon. I just hope they end up with a better flavor to them...lol. Thanks for the review and the coffee cups... I love them.....Diane.

Thanks Fanette, I'm glad to be back home and writing. I had a nice time on vacation-but there's no place like home sweet home afterwards. James will get his, I'm just not sure who is going to do it yet. I'm open to opinions...thanks for the coffee. I love seeing those things, they make my day and I don't even drink it. Later, Diane

Um, I haven't figured out what Charlie will say just yet. So the planning begins, I wonder if James will throw a wrench into it and things will turn into chaos....hum. Thanks Fanette I love the coffee and encouragement. Diane

Hi Fanette....yeah the cops can't shoot a lick.....but it has to be that way for the new ending to come out right. James doesn't die next chapter....we have to check on Carlisle. Thanks for the coffee and the reviews you continue to support me with...Take Care, Diane

I actually meant to put that it was twins in this chapter, but I keep getting distracted, I'm sorry. Next Chapter they go to find mom and then one more chapter after that one. :) Thanks for the coffee and I love hearing from ya. Take Care, Diane.

Thank You sweetie...and for once again filling up my coffee cups. ;) Take Care, Diane

I do hate that I had to kill Garrett. I wanted to keep him in the story but it just wasn't going to work with Edward coming back into Bella's life. Thanks for your review, darlin. I really appreciate it. Love you tons - D

Until next time...here's a peek at Edward's next chapter which will be up later today:

Sitting alone watching the sky change colors, I thought of Bella and our lives together growing up. I replayed every moment and let the love we felt back then wash over me. I knew I couldn't, but I wanted to feel that again.

I wanted to look into her eyes again and see the love I used to see when she looked at me. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and promise that I would never let her go again. Assure her that if she still wanted me, if she still loved me, we could be together forever. It was possible now and I could take her with me.

As the sky above me grew dark, I made my decision. I had to see her and if she was happy, I would leave quietly and never return. I would find Carlisle and Esme and live my life with them.

But if happiness had not found her in all these years, I would go to her in the night, take her someplace where I could explain everything and beg for her forgiveness. And if by some miracle she still loved me, I would take her back to Carlisle so he could change her and I could keep her with me for the rest of eternity.

I'm glad you liked it. Bella's creator will remain a mystery for now. You'll meet him in the next chapter but she never asks and he never tells her his name. So she won't know who he is until she wakes up. Sorry for that but he'll do his best to explain when they are able to have a conversation. Thanks for the review, darlin. I really appreciate it. Much love to you - D

Until next time...let's sneak a peek at Bella's life:

"Bella." Lizzy's voice and touch startled me.

I lifted my head to see her kneeling in front of me. She handed me the handkerchief I always kept in my bag. Edward's handkerchief. It added further guilt to rest upon my heart.

"Are you okay?" she whispered.

I shook my head. "I can't stop thinking about him."

"Me either." She hugged me. "It's hard enough for me to handle. I can't imagine what you must be going through. You two cared about each other so much."

I pulled away. "What?"

"The two of you really had something good, but me and Johnny will make sure to get you through this."

I'm glad you liked it. It was definitely time to move the story along and bring mamma Cullen into the mix. She's going to make them a real family. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

Until next time...let's take a peek at the next chapter which will be posted soon:

I gripped my head harder, heard a crack and screamed in pain. Fingers clamped around my wrists, pulling my hands away. Struggling against the hold, my eyes finally opened. The blond man was standing over me and the instant his face came into view, my vision clouded red.

Using his grip on me, I pulled an arm closer and bit his wrist. My teeth nearly met before he ripped his hand from me. He stumbled back and I lunged for him. My body crashed into his and knocked him through a tree.

We tumbled to the ground, rolling until I had the advantage. The thunderous cracking sounds meant nothing to me as I slammed my fists into his chest.

"Murderer!" I shrieked. "You killed them!"

His hand came up to block my assault but I couldn't stop. I wouldn't stop. He killed them and I wanted him dead. His howls of pain were like music to my ears and I swung faster and harder, hitting him with everything I had.

As my hand came down again, he caught my left wrist before I could hit him. Out of reflex, my right hand punched his arm to get myself free. I froze when his arm broke at the elbow and flew towards the trees.

"Oh God!" I screamed. "What are you?"

Isn't she horrible? I hope it sheds a bit of light on why Jasper is the way he is with Isabella. As for 'seeing'... maybe she can open his eyes ;)

Thank you so much! 

And, good Lord, me either! At least he isn't selfish while he makes her wait. *sigh*

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, I get lost with replies with so many stories going at once. 

*giggle* at Oatmeal :) As for how they look... I'm terrible at certain descriptive details. It's as if I forget that the readers can'tsee what I see in my head, so I apologize for that. And since they're just faces I've dreamed up, I can't really give you any examples, but I can try to describe thm. Claire is fairly petite, yet womanly in figure, with long, dark brown hair, big brown eyes, pale porcelain-like skin, full pouty mouth... very doll-like and very naturally beautiful. I hope that gives you some kind of picture? Jaimin is tall, about 6'2" - I would compare him to a Bruce Wayne Christian Bale in body/stature. He has very dark, short hair, nearly black eyes, and strong, chisled features. A few people recognized Eric Bana from the banner, and even though I did use his eyes, please know that Eric is not the face of Jaimin. Christian would be a closer example, but with much darker features (and shorter hair). If that helps at all? I'd be more than willing to answer any other questions if you have them. :)
