Awwww. When you warned me in the first chapter, I thought of not going through with it. But I told myself I'd stop if it became too sad. Or angsty. But it was beautiful. It was beautiful how they conected with each other, how Bella just knew. Sometimes we ignore our gut so much, but leaning into it is a wonderful thing. I love how fiercely and stongly Bella defends her family. Her husband. It was beautiful. Chef's kiss.
Thanks for sharing!

This is such a sweet story. I can sooooo relate to Bella. My first was older than me by a few years but I was mature for my age and was never interested in high school boys. It was never pervy and I was the one who pushed him to move forward. I'm in love with this Edward too. What an amazing young man. Thank you for the full circle HEA too. Thank you for sharing this with the community. xxoo

Just read this story for the first time (which is weird because pretty much all I've done since 2008 is read fanfiction, haha) somehow I missed this one!
I would love to have an EPOV version. I'm actually dying for it a bit.
I do feel the story could've gone without the whole "age of consent/crime/possible charges" plot. As a daughter of a teen mother and someone who went to high school in one of the country's top teen pregnancy schools, everything in this story could've still played out without that aspect/threat. Also, it is extremely common for senior boys to date freshman girls so I guess I don't see it as a big deal. So I kinda found that drama unrealistic...but the rest was so good!
Again, I wish I could've read from EPOV ;)

I liked this story! It had a bittersweet ending, it’s sad Emmett missed out on so much but it’s good he finally came around. I found the whole three years older thing to me seemed fine to me, but where I live their age difference is legal so I’ve grown up seeing friends of mine when we were in high school date older guys and that’s why Edward and Bella’s age difference seemed so normal to me but I suppose there are places in the world it could be inappropriate depending on laws. I almost feel this story would have worked better though if the age gap was a little bigger so that everyone’s reactions seemed more likely. Regardless though I enjoyed this a lot! It was a really unique plot and you did a wonderful job with it!

Flora Mile chapter 29 . 7/5/2021
Oh my…. What an amazing story, I could not put it down, I needed to make sure Edward was still going to at the birth and there for Bella!

Loved every chapter, sentence and word. I loved how you did the Epi in Emmetts point of view. I would love to read one done in Edwards in the future… about 10 years with them having more kids.

Thank you!

I finally finished this story early this morning. I just couldn't put it down. It was so good. This will definitely be on my frequent re-read list. I did not want this to end.
