J - This chapter was very good.  I liked how you aren't making them get together quickly.  They are both so  broken and the past they share is so dark.  They need this.  I liked Edward's confession that she was just like him.  I think he is in awe of her strength and she is too afraid to let him in yet.  Now, please don't make this last tooooo long.  Vic

The honeymoon and pregnancy reactions were sweet.  I know we have to get back to the darkness.  I would say and I hate to do this to Edward, but it needs to be a car accident to recreate the drama he had with his parents and wife.  Mike and Bella have to be in an accident and Mike has to be the one to die.

BB - Great chapter.  I get that this is hard for Bella, she is always the caretaker, but I probably tend to agree with the "selfish" reviewers.  For being such a caretaker she was being pretty whiny.  I know its hard.  Great chatper though,.  I love all the effort that Edward is making.  So sweet.

great chapter.  loved the father son interaction between sr and jr and jr jr.  concerned that Sonny is going to try and play in a grown ups game.  wow about Marcy.  I can't beleive Lau didn't care at all. 

Reviewer: VickiShy Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 28 Jan 2012 Title: Chapter 31: Voices Carry Part One

Lex - great great chapter.  first off screw the reviewers who are picking on you for that!  second and most importantly, you have written an amazing story with a well thought out plot an complex characters, you are amazingly tatented. 

In this chapter I was a little worried about Edward letting Bella go with Aro, yes he was disappointed, but I hope he realizes that he did the right thing.  She needed to go and it might have been better if he wasn't there with Renee.  Chances are she wouldn't have been so "honest" if Edward was the one with her. 

I have been ok with the lack of communication between Aro and Bella, so I guess I could go either way after this chapter.  Even though they weren't talking, it was obvious that Aro still cared for Bella and he would never let any harm come to her. 

Great chapter.  Meloni huh?

Amazing chapter.  he new dad seems almost too god to be true.  Should they do a paternity?  And I can totally see Aro and Carlisle fighting over sister Lisa.

BTW - Carlisle - total punk move by him.  Seriously how mabny chances at "love" should he get before the woman just don't buy his line anymore.

Lex - where do IU start.  First, brilliant as always.  The emotions in this chapter are so complex and I am in awe of you and your ability to write them.  They aren't quite ok yet - I hope they are soon.  I think Alex should try to take a break from Carlisle but I doubt that it will last long.  Lou is going to stick his gun, I mean foot in his mouth.  Aro, I think Aro and Edward need to have another conversation and either distance themselves from each other or accept his place as a borhter like Carlisle, because this trust you don't trust you stuff is hard on everyone involved.  See you next time.

Lex - this was a great chapter with a lot of stuff happening.  I am really glad that Esme is gone and that she supposedly committed suicide.  I absolutely believe that Bella is doing good by watching Carlisle.  I worry about Edward but it is his life.  The Emmet confrontation is down but really when did he start really giving a s**t about Bella?  He has always kind of been on the sidelines and for him to think he has a right to say what he did as far as the wives go is overstepping - I have relatives like that and I wouldn't have been as composed as Bella was.  You are amazing!

I think you are giving us a good background on this family and it will all matter in the future.  I think E and B are doing a pretty good job in this chapter of being parents.  So Sonny had wine.  At least he had it with his parents.  But I loved how you mentioned that E was terrified that Sonny had no tells when he lied.  

I also really like how honest E is with B now.  They had to grow into that from the last story and they have. 

Now WTF is happening with C?

Date: 30 Sep 2011 Title: Chapter 8: Indemnity

I think it is going to be hard for Bella to continue her friendship with Lauren since Lauren is so obtuse about the business that her husband is in and Bella is only going to get in deeper.  Esme's reaction will be something to read about I;m sure.  Loved the E and B interaction - he loves her and she harbors guilt.  I totally understand that.

Reviewer: VickiShy Signed starstarstarstarstar

Actually I floved this chapter too.  I loved B and her strength and how strongly in love with her E is.  Lau is really turned into a bitch though I see her being a problem eventually and having to be taken out.  great job!

Reviewer: VickiShy Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 22 Oct 2011 Title: Chapter 11: Thou Mayest

V - this was great.  I liked the different point of views.  Edward is going to have tons to keep track of.  I really don't trust Carlisle's love for his brother anymore and I think it has been really interesting to see how thier relationship has changed from the beginning of the first story to now - I hope that you will bring it full circle back to them being able to count on one another (after you put them through a few more paces).  Esme - just wow. And Aro - stupid.  You know I totally see Lau dying the Drea DeMateo way I just never clicekd with her from the beginning of the story.  I do believe that the only reason she and Aro got married was because of her pregnancy and the pressure that Bella put on Aro.  Keep up the amazing story writing.

LEx - I don't know when you posted this but it was really well done.  Screw the negative reviews.  This has become one of my favorite fics.  The characters are dark and flawed.  The chapter was intense but in line with the characters you created.  My question though, is she pregnant?  I mean she has been sleeping a lot - is that from stress and depression or pregnancy.

Loved mob boss wife Bella throwing her weight around with Lauren as well.  I mean she took her children and then abandoned them.  If Aro was Aro, there is no way he would put up with that.  Great job.

I really liked that Bella stayed behind with Edward.  Her children were seperated from her, but they were safe.  I liked this chapter - again - these two persevere through so much.  It's gritty and dirty and not perfect, but thank god that you write characters like this.  Lex, don't let the flamers get you down.  I have read everything you have written and loved it.  Including these two stories.  You are talented.

What was up with hte disrespect from the waitresses and the dancers?Was Cauis at the party -  I consider him a guy to be watching.  And the nun?  Weird.  I am with you for the long haul.  Can't wait to see where you take me.

Wow I can't beleive Carlisle let her off.  Especially after he told her about Marcus.  And really Es wanted to be with Edward?  Can you delve into that a little more because I don't really get it.  From the earlier story, she didn't seem to show any kind of preference towards him, only Carlisle?  Did I completely miss some cues or interpret this wrong?

Also, you really have me worried that this is going to come down to a brother vs brother conclusion.  I am worried because the one thing this story had was no matter what thier innate nature was that they were brothers and nothing could get in the way of that.

Great job Lex.  See you next chapter.

Lex - another amazing chapter.  So much drama and up and downs.  I liked the conversation about another child.  Edward wanted to use it as a fix and Bella uses a child as an escape from finding herself and doesn't want that anymore.  That was an excellent scene.  very real.  The whole alice thing was hard, but you did a good job with it.  Since Alice and Jasper aren't really key fugures in theis story, it seems a little much.  I would like you to mention that E took care of it, but I don't know if I need the detail.  Seriously though, I love this story.  It is the one I am always anxiously awaiting an update for.  Thanks Lexi.

"Where would you go if you are trying to start a new life but you had nowhere to go and no one to care?  Bella Swan has been alone for most of her life, she is young and she is scared, but now she has another life to protect.  She is heading for a new country - a new life and then she ends up in HOPE SPRINGS.  Her life intertwines with all the eccentric characters in this little piece of heaven in Vermont and just like that - she will never be the same.  She meets the Sherriff, the truck driver, the semi-retired doctor, the lawyer, the farmer, and the new best friends, but it is the new young doctor in town that turns her life upside down.  Is he as stuck up as he seems or does he have a wild side?  Is Bella as tough and as jaded as she seems?  Will she run, or will she allow the people in this town to teach her to hope, to dream, and to love?"

Well yeah, what does that mean?  Although I am curious about well most of them thought.  What does that mean - who doesn't she like?  Great chapter.  It took me to Esme's revelation to figure out what got Bella so upset.  Great chapter.  See you later.

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.

M - sometimes I hate that I have to wait a whole week for an update.  I am glad they didn't have sex, but I am sad that Bella still thinks so little of herself in his presence.  I loved how much Bella grew in her first semester at college.  And wow, that almost lemon was nice.  Great chapter.

Great chapter and I would have loved to see Ned as more of a antagonist before he was neutered.  I do think Edward needs a lesson here because I think when it comes to commuicaiton he is still lacking.  Bella seems to be putting it out there time and again and he stays pretty quiet, yet he still seems to be making all the decisions.

Take care of you.  Your readers will wait for your next chapter.  V

M - I loved how you ended it.  Bella knows Edward wants more even if he won't ask for it.  But I love her strength in just giving him what she can right now because he broke her trust.  Perfect.

 

Great scene at the bar - the drugs, the fight, the singing.

 

See you next week babe!

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.

Amazing.  I thought edward would tell her rather than run away and have his famikt tell her.  Great chapter.  I cany wait for the next few chapters -  I am hooked

Michelle - great chapter and I thank yo for not making me wait.  Bella has grown tremendously.  I can't beleive Edward hasn't contacted her since he left.  I think he has a lot of trust to gain back and I know Bella understands, but I would still be leery of him.

This chpater ended by making me laugh.  Bri behavior was unbeleive able and I think the punichsment is quit harsh but with the familial unit I guess in her world it is appropriate.  I love apples and the old men though.

I am ok with Bella forgiving edward this quickly.  I am impressed she didn't run and she led both the family conversation and the one with edward.  That shows strength and maturity and she is finally there.  Great job.
