AMAZING STORY! I LOVED IT! RIGHT UP UNTIL THE END!

Ah, the beauty of it all. :] I swear, as I was reading this, I thought you were reading my mind: they should move out the house. oh good! now they should have a baby... oh happy day! haha You did a good job. .~ A heck of a lot of repititions though... I thought that that was going to drive me insane. But oh well, it was still a good story. Oh course, when I saw that the child's name, all I could think about was Janet from Rocky Horror Picture Show. XD I was like, "And they think this child is going to be normal. ha!" haha Come to think of it... I think that Janet had blonde hair and brown eyes too. Funny coincidences.. unless you meant for that to happen. XD haha

I'm rambling. Sorry. Kudos. You are a very nice writer and I liked the extra input in the bedroom scene. .~

Ta.

Yet another awesome story. The dream Norman had in Chapter 2, I believe it was, was well written, descriptive, and seem like it would fit in to the character. Question: After they moved out of the creepy Victorian house that looked like Phantom Manor, did they still run the motel? Either I missed it or you didn't include that. I just wanted to know. Thanks for the wicked cool story.

Well, all's well that ends well! What a happy ending! However, there's still the matter that Marion and Norman remain unmarried...

Knowing Marion the way I do, she'll certainly want to be married since that was her gripe when she was with Sam Loomis. I guess you know what I'm hinting, right? Of course you do!

SEQUEL!

You just simply have to write about Norman's proposal, the ring and the whole wedding. If you don't I'll send my flying monkeys after you!

Now get to writing, you've been warned...

Now, that's more like it! A baby! Norman will have to marry Marion now! But what will his reaction be? Will he be happy or will he reject the idea of having a child for fear of passing on his mental illness?

Oh I hope and pray that he will warm up to the idea and be a father to his child. He would be a great dad, patient and loving. And Marion will be a wonderful mother.

Well, well, well...

This chapter almost has Norman saying "The future's so bright, I've gotta wear shades"!

The future is bright indeed! I see nothing but good things happening for our loving couple! Now that they are out of that house and in a new environment, Norman's memories seem to be fading at last. I, for one, couldn't be happier for him.

Maybe, after a few months, he may even consider selling the old place and cash in on his birthright. The property could certainly garner a hefty price, enough money to put down on a nicer place for Norman and Marion so that they could start a family...

I know, I know! Too much, too fast. One step at a time, especially for someone so sheltered as Norman Bates! But I think that Marion and Norman would make some beautiful babies together.

And speaking of family, has the "M" word even crossed Norman's mind. They've been "living in sin" for almost two years now and it is still the 1960's. Living together is still frowned upon during this period. When is Norman going to make an honest woman of Marion?

Now, Norman. Stop being such a worry-wart! Marion's got things under control and she'll make you a fine home. You'll see...

God, I hope that Norman can get over his apprehensions and just go with the flow. I think once he gets a taste of what its like to live in the real world he find that he likes it.

I'll even wager that he'll kick himself for not doing it sooner.

Good for Norman! Moving out of that house to get on with his life is the best decision he could have made! Oh I hope that he and Marion put as much distance between them and that house of horrors as possible.

I wouldn't even mind if they bulldozed the whole place down! That house has served as Norman's prison for far too long. It's about damned time that he break free from his past and get on with his future!

Wow, what Marion has proposed is a very good idea. And the change of venue may do both of them some good. But is Norman truly ready to break with his past? That house and all of the memories it contains is big part of what Norman is. He identifies it.

This is a HUGE step for him, and I perfectly understand his need to mull things over. We wouldn't want him to make a hasty decision. But if he does decide to move out of that museum of a house, then he will finally demonstrate his committment to Marion and more importantly to himself.

Can't wait to read the next update!

That was so wonderfully written! Great job! You are really coming into your own as a writer. Every chapter you post you gets better and better! I'm really proud of you!

You have really taken this story of Psycho to a whole other direction and given us a Norman Bates that is loving, caring, tender and sensitive. He's even a bit sentimental. He is slowly but surely coming out of his shell, and I love it!

The fog that has clouded his troubled mind for most of his sad life is lifting and for the first time in his exisistence he can dare to hope for the one thing that has always eluded him: happiness.

Now I'm more curious than ever as to what Marion has planned...

Well I'm off to read the next chapter!

Hooray! Marion and Norman are back together! They'll have a lot to work out, but I think that things will finally be okay!

And aren't you the sneaky one? I got two chapters for the price of one! Clever girl!

Now my curiousity is piqued! What could Marion be planning for Norman, I wonder? I gues a couple of more chapters will satisfy my inquisitive nature...

Great job, as always. Keep up the good work!

GMG, this is /excellent/! I love your characters, and your writing is solid. You're great at showing that Norman's been abused, and I still haven't even seen the film.

By the way, you might want to set your reviews to allow anonymous ones as well. It's under 'reviews' in your user panel. _

Finally! Could it be that Norman has realized that his relationship with Marion is more important than his bitter memories? I really hope so!

And he's right, he can't expect for things between them to go back to the way they were, not right away. But maybe with time, understanding and a little patience, who knows?

Can't wait for chapter seven!

How very sad...

So much pain, so much mistrust. Will Norman be able to recapture Marion's love and regain her trust? I just don't see anyway out of this dire situation for either one of them.

Marion won't leave, but she won't let Norman near her. And Norman's fears keep him from letting go of his mother's memory and embracing the present.

How can either one of them be happy when theer is so much uncertainity? Norman will simply have to step up to the plate, banish the ghosts and become the man that his mother says he can't be and the one that Marion so desperately needs.

I didn't see that coming...

So Marion's decided to stay, despite the fact Norman tried to take her life? I have to agree with Norman though. What's the use? If he can't change the way he is and she's now distant toward him, their relationship has certainly taken a turn for the worse, hasn't it?

Their love wasn't on a very firm foundation to being with, but now in light of all that's happened, the intimacy and closeness they shared is gone.

Will she insist on seperate sleeping quarters? Or perhaps she'll move out of the house completely and down into one of the cabins, far away from Mother's reach?

Let's just hope, for her sake, that she doesn't choose cabin number one, right? *wink*
