I love your character development. Please keep writing..

Postpartum depression? Some serious condition? Who knows.

Oooh. That ending hurt me bad.

Love this break in their relationship. I want to see them happy so bad.

Ugh. Rereading this cause I saw you posted another chapter (was incredibly excited) and my heart is aching. I want them to be happy so bad. Love your writing!

Thank you for writing this. Please write more. I have been enjoying your other stories too because of your passionate writing of complex characters.

do you happen to know when youll start this back up again? enjoying it (:

Interesting juxtaposition between this and your other piece in terms of Christine's personality. Are you a Gemini? LOL. Dual personality for your heroine?

First of all, I appreciate the effort it must have been to write two books at the same time. You have thought out these characters very well and your story lines are interesting to follow.

Please take this in the manner it's intended, as someone who likes your stories, but wants more from you. The first is to concentrate on one book at a time. The story lines of both of your books seem very similar, even if the characters appear to have different perspectives about the situation they find themselves in, particularly Christine.

I haven't read this entire book - I try to avoid the ones that aren't complete because I don't like to be kept hanging. That said, I just finished your other book, thinking it was finished, but find you will be adding another chapter. In any event, I like reading the entire story - my preference. I read this chapter to get some idea of what the book was about and plan to return to it later when complete.

What I have observed in this chapter, and in your other book, is that you have a great sense for dialogue, but seem to rely on it quite a bit. It may not seem so when you are writing and editing one chapter at a time, but having read your other book in a few sittings, it's obvious and, in some instances, the talk is very repetitive.

For me, as a reader, I feel like I'm being offered chat instead of finding out about important elements that are raised, but then dismissed. I.e., Christine seems to be having real physical problems. I've never had a child, so I don't know if her continuing pain and issues with nursing are something to be concerned about - but then, neither do she nor Erik know. Have the doctor come and examine her. If she has nothing to worry about: fine. If there IS something wrong, I want to know what it is.

You, as the author have made this somewhat the basis of this chapter. Why isn't this being addressed? Why isn't a doctor being called in? Instead Christine wanders off on a tangent to being angry(?) with Erik about not wanting this life and going off about Paris and her friends. Is it just the pregnancy or is she really this petulant? You address this in the A/N, but it needs to be in the story.

Also, he just accepts it. He doesn't even seem hurt by her words. He doesn't run to get a doctor, which I find the most obvious non-Erik thing. He's a man - someone who takes charge, not a passive wimp - no matter how much he loves her and fears losing her. For her, that last line is just nasty.

In the other piece, the business with Raoul shooting Erik seemed to have been glossed over as well, as an example.

One comment on grammar - you tend to use "lied" as the past tense for lie (to recline), the conjugation of the verb is: lie, lay, lain. "I lied back on the sofa a bit." should read: "I lay back on the sofa a bit."

Again, this isn't meant to hurt you. Writing is very important to me, and I assume it is the same for you, otherwise you wouldn't be pouring your soul into it. These are just some things that I found troublesome.

Regarding my observations about Erik and his behavior, is personal. You have every right to draw your characters as you wish.

Childbed fever?

Omg that ending hit me like a punch in the gut. Poor Erik.

A beautiful chapter. Again, kudos from me for not sugar-coating the birth and breastfeeding: your description was pretty realistic, in my experience...
I loved the way Erik reacts to his son, and the way Christine refrains from making promises.

what a bittersweet chapter.

I'm not having feels. YOU'RE having feels! Solid reasoning Christine. All babies eyes are blue but I wonder if later on they'll start turning into Erik's colored eyes.

OMG... so my theory was correct! :)

There you go again with your cliffhangers, but I don't mind in the slightest. ;D
I can't wait to the next chapter!
