Dear Dani, I feel awful for all of them: Edward loves her so much and it's still not enough to help her, she still so lost and can't deal and I hope she gets it together so Gracie want have to suffer too. You touch my heart as always!

Man what a chapter. Angry Edward is not and drunk Bella is not.

Omg. This story is now killing me. The angst is off the charts. ( but I do love angst). I just want for Bella to get better. She does need therapy. She won't get better until she gets over her lack of self- respect. She must love herself first before she can love others. Thanks for the update!

Geez but Bella is a piece of work, bless her heart. She might want to get her shit together before Edward bails on her.
The chapter was fabulous! Naturally, I am looking forward to the next one.

Another great chapter! I will be so glad when she realizes what the hell she has. Some of us do not have someone that loves us unconditionally and that are willing to give to us over and over again!

Wonderful chapter, and what a beautiful picture of the Baby....Bella will have a lot to think about, if she can seek out right help. Her and Edward can move forward...I love the outing with Rose and Emmett and the kids. can not wait to see what unfolds in the coming chapters...Thanks for writing this

Great Chapter. I am glad Edward got good advice from Jasper and Emmet. Tough love is necessary and probably what she responds to. Subtlety and inferring will not get through to her. Edward is so protective of Grace and that is what he needs to be. If Bella can not be good for Grace then he does need to cast her asside. Kids who have a parent that is a constant source of stress and disappointment are worse off than a child with one loving single parent.

Bella needs therapy. Immediately.
So Bella resorted to her old tricks using sex and alcohol and they don't work any more. I wonder how she'll react...has she finally hit bottom or will she disintegrate even further? Everyone has their story and painful pasts, but having a sister who WAS ('was' being the key word happily) a drug addict, I can show Bella no mercy. Mercy or pity isn't what someone like Bella needs - she is wrapped up in enough of her own self-pity. She's destroying a relationship with the only person who has truly been there for her, just as I watched my sister destroy many loving relationships in her life. Some have been repaired, some were beyond saving. I didn't think Bella was a stupid person, but maybe she is. Did she honestly see a future of Edward not resenting her at some point, that his patience would be endless? I guess somewhere deep inside of her she knew that it would sour. People like her are masters of self fulfilling prophecies, aren't they? But, yet, I still feel that she is a good, decent and loving person inside (as most fucked up, nightmare people are) so I hope she pulls out of this tailspin. It will be interesting to see how you play this out.
I'm proud of Edward - even his sweet soul has limits to how much he'll allow himself to be hurt. It's about time. I love that Emmett played it straight with him and gave him the cold, hard truth. It's just what Edward needed. I don't think he would have had the strength to tell Bella 'ENOUGH!' if it wasn't for Grace. It's funny how you look at life differently - the world changes - once you have a child. He is truly Grace's father and will protect her against anyone, even her own mother.
And Grace, sweet Grace. I love her already. Even if she has a hearing disability, she is still perfect.
I do love your style - it's stripped down - no unnecessary details - but it conveys so much. Heartache, happiness, frustration, love, shame. In so few words, I have come to know these characters - their hopes, their dreams, their flaws and their strengths. Amazing!

All I can say is BRILLIANT! I hoped that there would be smooth saling for these 2 and that they had faced all the heartache they would need to face. But the last 2 chapters have opened my eyes to the fact truth that they still have a long road ahead of them. CAN'T WAIT TO GO ALONG FOR THE REST OF THEIR JOURNEY.

I HATE Bella but I understand. So I dont really hate her. Just hurt I guess.
I would find it really hard to stay away from her for a week or however long. I am sure it is hard on him and I would cave. But I am so gald he didnt. And I hate that she comes and tries to seduce him but I understand that is her way of apologizing.
*sigh*
ok..now on to read CrookedSmiles post about this chapter!
cant wait for more!
