I was holding my breath through this chapter. It kept me on the edge. Thank you!

Wow...Amazing!

You are breaking my heart piece by piece. I don't know when they had a baby, but I'm assuming his signing over his parental rights is why Bella looked so shocked when she saw him with Wren. Again, I assumed she thought Wren was his. Buuuut, I'm usually wrong when I assume. Your words are breathtaking.

I'll never forget that night. I believe Kim got there first...maybe I did. That I don't remember. But I do remember the feeling of bursting into tears. Not because of your beautiful words - that beautiful letter. But because of your BETRAYAL. You're a secret keeper. A mean one. (But I'm glad I didn't know. But I'm not.)

beautiful and heartbreaking as always

I am confused about their daughter. But I'm sure you're going to explain it all eventually. I wonder what Bella makes of all this? He is really putting it all on the line.

Her daughter is alive?! So confused. I must reread this whole thing and see of there was something I missed. Great writing! Anxiously waiting

Wow, very heavy chapter, I really had not caught up to the fact that their kid was alive and with Bella. Great chapter!

Great chap!

This chapter was so good. God, I'm still shivering from its intensity. So freaking good. You're just wonderful. Thank youuuuu.

Beautiful chapter, although I'm confused. Ha.
From the last chap, Bella found out she was pregnant while in high school. But when she and Edward live together there is no child? And they were trying for a baby but Edward had a vasectomy? Unless the vasectomy didn't work and she was right about her being pregnant before she left him?
So many questions! I'm sure we'll figure it out sooner or later.
Beautiful, heartbreaking chapter. I hope they can work through struggles together.

They have a daughter. No wonder he took to Wren. Very emotional chapter.

Oh god. It's so much. So much growth and vulnerability. And honesty. I love that he's really thinking about he's done, all of it, and that he is being specific about each of his mistakes. It's so good.

Ugh, and I had no idea. I'm at once so happy that Bella did get to be a mom but I'm heart broken that one of her first protective acts was to keep Edward away from that. NOW I understand what those looks were about when he was interacting with Wren. Oh, it breaks my heart.

But there's hope. Finally there's hope. Thank you, thank you for sharing this with us.

Oh sweets. No lie, this chapter has sat open on my laptop since last week. I'm just blown away by this chunk of their past. This combined with the secret vasectomy and well, the fact that they don't have kids now... well I'm beginning to see just how bad things have been for them. Oh.

But I'm so happy to see that there's an update so that's what I'm diving into now. Thank you for building up this mystery/love story and sharing it with us.

This makes me so sad
