That was the best chapter ever! You are a pure genius! I love every aspect and I have tears reigning down my face! Incredible!

You did a really great job of leading all of us through Edward's mind, letting us hear how much he loves Bella, his daughter and his family. He had such responsibility during the encounter with the Volturi and everything leading up to that! So great and so impressive, I loved it, thank you!

After holding my breath, I think I'm nearly as happy as the Cullens and all their friends are!

I too like Garrett, especially when he tells Kate he'll follow her anywhere! Hate the Volturi, love the wolves. The farewells just made me cry, even though I've read Breaking Dawn four times!

I'm with you about how disgustingly evil Jane is! Too bad someone doesn't juspull her apart and burn her pieces! As for Irina, she was just sadly mistaken and chose to believe the worst about people she supposedly cared for. All the mental dialogue betweeb Aro and Edward was fascinating!

They have done all they could to prepare and ready themselves for this confrontation. All that's left is Carlisle's prayer and the hopes of the others, that everything turns out well!

With imminent danger looming over their heads,the Cullens still managed to have Christmas. The best gift Edward and Bella gave each other , was their love. Doesn't get any better than that!

Wouldn't you know it was his mother's advice that convinced Edward to trust Bella, secret or no secret. He knows he can, and so he does. The remembrance of the cafeteria and the cap from the lemonade bottle was so sweet and wonderful, just lovely!

You did a dandy job of getting into Edward's mind throught this whole chapter, as you have through all the others!

Almost everyone is here now, except the Amazonians, so the training will start soon, I imagine. They best get busy, time's flying!

I knew with a little nudge, Eleazar would figure out Aro's plans. After all, he had seen it happen many times before, he just never realized the real purpose. He hates to think of his unknowing complicity in such needless destruction.

I'm glad Edward finally let himself tell Bella of his greatest fear, watching her and their child die, unable to stop it ! Their union is only strengthened by this sharing of a common purpose, to remain together , come what may. Good thing Edward is so persuasive, it took a lot to convince the Denalis of what Renesmee really is. Soon Eleazar may realize what else Aro is after, besides punishment.

This period of hopeless anxiety, worry and fear always chokes me up. It's so human of them all, and a comfort to know help may be on it's way is welcome.

Yes, we know it gets better, but you put the feelings of all concerned, front and cebter in quite a powerful way! Good job!

What a fateful encounter! If only Irina had stopped for one minute and really seen what Renesmee was! So all the fear and misery is about to start! They had such a good plan going on, too!
