Can’t just continue with this story anymore.
So Bella had a temper tantrum and ended up killing her baby? I mean WTF! She was having pain but still drove faster and faster?
She avoided Derek from the moment she got Edward’s attention, ended up kissing him and then blamed everyone else! What was she expecting? Edward should stay with Alex, while the both of them have an affair? I feel so bad for poor Derek and Alex. He should definitely leave Bella.

Ughh

This story is so riveting, powerful and emotional. It shows both sides in how they felt.
Heartbreak is horrible and it hurts, I felt that way before a long time before I married my husband. Unrequited love does suck the happiness out of people. I think you should write a prequel to this story, so that we can best see what they experienced. It would help others see what you’re trying to write. Keep on writing.

Such a beautiful story! Great job!

Well, we have come to the end. I enjoyed reading this as much as I could. I will explain that in that it was very angsty and I am the biggest angst wimp. Both characters had flaws, as most humans do. They worked through them, sometimes not in the best way, but they came out the other side. They survived and thrived in their love as a result. I still think it was odd that they did not get together until the epilogue, as I have never read a story that did that before. At least it was E/B and HEA, just as promised. Thank you for sharing your imagination with us here. ~Christy

I have no words for this author note thingy.

This was all so fun to read. I loved the fun they all had at the reunion with all their old friends. Some shocked, some not. It was fun to read. The bedtime story part was funny. Renesmee has changed the story all around to make it the way she wants it. I hope that through the years, they've corrected her in that Alex was not the bad guy. Selfish by not stepping away when she knew Edward loved Bella, yes. However, she just wasn't strong enough to do what Derek did and not go through with marrying someone who loved another. The baseball part was great because it gave us a glimpse of the kids growing up. Very funny that EJ nailed Emmett in the coin purse for making fun of him. Smart kid. I wouldn't be surprised if Jake and Nessie get married. Unlike her parents, they most likely will pull their heads out of their asses before it blows up in the faces. A first date at the mall is a good start.

Another bunch of happiness here as well. I’m glad for it, that’s for sure. So much sadness and pain through the other chapters, that you had me worried this wouldn’t be happily ever after. They got their boy and girl. They got a dream home. Sees they are still so happy after ten plus years together.

Holy crap, you do have the ability to write happy stuff! Color me shocked. I did not like the audacity of Alice to bitch to Edward that he didn’t tell her Bella was coming. Bitch. Nobody bothered to tell Edward . . . for a whole year . . . that Bella did not get married that day. None of them deserve a thing from Edward or Bella. I am so glad you finally wrote some happy in here. I don’t think I’ve ever read a story that didn’t have the couple getting together until the epilogue. The whole story being with other people. Dry strange. Still think, even with this happy epilogue, that this should be listed as angst not drama.

I can understand him not being at the ice cream shop right after he walked out of the wedding. He left before Derek called it off. Therefore, he wouldn’t know to go to the shop at all. How would he? Also, everyone in his family suck. I don’t care if he didn’t want to hear anything about Bella. How could they keep that from him? Knowing he was living as a shell of himself, not a single one of them bothered to blurt out the wedding didn’t happen? Send him a text, 'wedding is off'? WTF? Nobody on either side of their family deserves to be around either of them, ever again. They prolonged the pain, and for no reason at all. Never have I read a family that swears they care about each other the way that these do, when in actuality, they really, really don’t. To let a loved one suffer in that much pain, for so long, when they had the key to fix it immediately, is sick and disgusting.

Why would anyone want Derek and Bella together? Are they not reading the same story? Even derek knows he shouldn’t be with Bella, hence the reason he said he can’t marry her and left her at the alter. I have to disagree with you on her not deserving to be left at the alter. I think, and I stated in my last review, that she let it get too far. And, her family and friends enabled her, instead of talking some sense into her. There was no way that, even if they went through with the wedding, that Bella and Derek would work out. She is in love with Edward, not Derek. She likes Derek, as he saved her when she fell the first time. Derek was right in not going through with it. Should he have told her months earlier? YES! So should’ve everyone else around her. She should’ve known better herself. She was being stubborn. I called her doing this way back many chapters ago.

It never, ever should’ve gotten that far. Derek did the right thing. Quite frankly, so did Edward. How could Bella be so selfish as to ask Edward to be in the wedding, when she knows he loves her? What the hell is wrong with her. Damn right she has changed. For the absolute worse. All those things that Derek said, were so far from the truth, that you actually made me bark out a laugh. She is very broken. Very lost. Very sad. For him to say she was all better, is ridiculous. She is worse now, than she was after she left after Edward’s wedding. However, this she has brought onto herself completely. She has done this to herself, body else has. I have no idea why she is even doing it. She doesn’t even know why. I can’t believe she was actually going to marry him. Everyone was surprised. Why were none of these people telling her not to marry Derek? Why were they all enabling this crap? They all claim to love her, yet none of them stepped in at all. If one of my friends, hell even just an acquaintance, was doing something this destructive, I would step in right away. None of these people actually really love her. No wonder she doesn’t know what love is.

Derek needs to be the strong one and leave her. He needs to leave her at a therapists office while doing so also. She’s in her head saying how much she loves Edward and at the same time, doesn’t want to hurt Derek. Ummm, marrying him when you love another man is hurting him. I don’t understand at all, why Derek is even sticking around at all. He knows how much Bella loves Edward. He even said he can’t heal her, only Edward can. Why would he want that life for himself? Now, Bella is sending them wedding invitations! Has she lost her ever loving mind?

I’m thinking this really should’ve been labled as angst, not drama. She left again. Now, when they’ve said their feelings, she just left. I expected that she’d be stubborn and try to make it work with Derek. Sad that may be what she’s doing. The flashbacks were a wonderful change to all the damn angst.

I’m still at a complete and total loss of why the baby was even necessary. There was already so much heartbreak and pain between the two of them, not to mention the two that love them. No need for me to repeat my last review again so, moving on.
