I loved the cute moments between Bill and Tom! And now, Rebecca isn't the only one i want to kill, Bill's mum too!!
Author's Response:
I like writing cutesy moments to balance out the heavy emotions of a story. Rebecca and Janet are definitely pieces of work.

Ahhh, see I didn't realize their were no objections in family court. Learn something new everyday I guess ^_^
Oh dear, thank you so much for the heads up about the dying thing. I hate when we get no real warning that a death will happen in long fics. Sometimes they seem so out of the blue, its shocking annd disturbing. Especially when they're the type of author to add warnings as they come up, not at the beginning, because I don't tend to keep up with updates on those too well...
Author's Response:
Yeah I did some research on that. The only time that objections can be made is if the child seems to be under extreme emotional stress from the questioning.
rnI didn't plan to kill anyone in the beginning but now I feel like I kind of have to. Death is generally out of the blue so I can understand why in the fics it would do that but I also like to warn people when it is going to happen. I generally have a plan in my mind when I start a story but sometimes it takes a turn where I have to add extra characters and warnings that I didn't orginally expect. I don't tend to either so I have to go back to the main page and check to see if the warnings change when I see something I don't expect.

I am truely enjoying this story. And I know where Bill comes from with not trusting people. Its really hard to fully trust since when you start to let your defense down someone gives you a reason to put it back up.
Author's Response:
I am glad you are enjoying it. I know where Bill is coming from too. I moved around alot as a kid so it was hard for me to get close to anyone. Once I got settled it still remained hard because people blunder and hurt the hearts and minds that are open to them. I also found myself resorting to my old habits because it was easier then dealing with the pain that came with being open.

hei... what about the talk? xD loved it
Author's Response:
The talk just isn't in this chapter. I am glad you liked the chapter.

ah, lovely chapter!!

I am glad you liked it. Thanks for the review.

Hmmm *ponders* Something bad is going to happen to a character we don't like...but we might like them better after it happens...? Oddness.
I had really hoped Bill and Tom would work things out, at least somewhat, in this chapter. But alas it did not happen. But Bill did realize his idiosy, so that's something I suppose.
I am getting very anxious about Bill's mom. Please put us out of our misery and bring her in. Preferably before I chew all my nails off in anticipation? Hübisch bitte mit einem cherry on top?
I think Isabella's testimony was executed pretty good. It was a little mature for a six year old, but they are a bit mature for their age in general. I could just imagine her smiling and wiggling in her seat at being proud of herself for remembering. But I do think the Defendants lawyer would have objected to the questions about the other incidentand Jerry's punishment as irrelevant. Or I could also see Tom's lawyer deliberately NOT bringing it up, because it might make it look like Izzy and Zac might've provoo
Ked stuff to get back at him for last time, you know what I mean?
Anywayy. Great chapter! I can't wait for more! Keep up the fabulous work!
Author's Response: The character we don't like is going to do something important and special. This will make us more inclined to like the character. Then the character will die during their deed. It will be rather sad. rnrnThey did work things out at least somewhat in this chapter. I just wanted to progress so I closed the chapter. I wanted Bill to really think everything through in this chapter.rnrnBill's mom is a character I haven't figured out yet so please be patient with me. I will try my best. She is making me very anxious too. rnrnIsabella's testimony is something I worked on. I tried to make it sound like a six-year old but I guess I failed. I can imagine that too and the happy grin on her face as she mentioned the blue band-aid. Family court is a bit different then criminal court. There are no objections to prevent scaring the kids. All information is entered just to a judge then the counsel debates in judge's chambers after the trial what should have been objected too. rnrnI am glad you like it. Next chapter should be up on Monday. See you then.

Yay! Bill's coming to his senses!
I can't wait for the next chapter!
This is honestly one of my favorite stories to read on here! C:

Bill is being such a BITCHHH! Like, he knows how Rebecca is, so why would he even bother to let what she said get to him? Even Andreas knows how she is! Bill's being a big fat idiot right now.
10/10

Author's Response:
Yeah Bill's attitude is s a little ridiculous. We just have to hope he comes to his senses sooner rather then later. I am glad you liked it despite all that.
Date: 07/20/12 11:11 am Title: A Court Date and Cold Hands
I'm glad Bill took a step back to think about things and started to come to hi senses.
Author's Response:
Yeah I thought it was time for him to realize what was going on. Thanks for the review.
Date: 07/17/12 06:30 pm Title: A Christmas Heartache
I'm in the state: It's not fair! Stupid Rebeca, go, dig a hole and die! yeah, just that, selfish prat. And Bill is just being plain stupid, too. Belive what that... thing, said when che just daesn'e even care for her own flesh?! Grrr...
I really like your story :D
Author's Response:
Well, violent reactions are good. They show you really care for the story and the characters so I totally get it. Bill is being a little silly but then again when isn't he. I also think you will find yourself more... understanding of Bill's doubts in the next chapter. Thanks for the reveiw and I am glad you like the story.
Date: 07/16/12 02:27 pm Title: A Christmas Heartache
Haha, oh sorry. 'Tomi gets jelly' basically means that Tom gets jealous! Sorry for writing like an idiot xD
Author's Response:
No biggie. I should have been able to figure that out on my own. You didn't write like an idoit. You wrote like you were familar with the person you were writing too. No harm in that.
Date: 07/16/12 07:27 am Title: A Christmas Heartache
i was thinking that Tom would start explaning that he didnt do shit and stuff... xD but hei this works too xD
Author's Response:
I thought about doing it that way but I think Tom would want to explain it in person. I also figured Bill would log out if Tom started.
Date: 07/15/12 06:48 pm Title: A Christmas Heartache
i'll admit this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me...i'm glad he wants to hire bill privately and that bill excepted...and rebecca needs a taste of her own medicine...i hate her...
Author's Response:
It is kind of confusing. I am glaad Bill got hired privately too and hopefully they will be able to make this work. Rebecca definitely needs to learn what it means to be serioulsy hurt.
Date: 07/15/12 05:23 pm Title: A Christmas Heartache
Darn you! Now I have nothing to look forward to tomorrow! Lol...
This was kind of sad...but everyones reactions were fairly expected after last chapter. I am so glad Bill at least accepted Tom's offer, even if he won't talk to him yet. And even better its gonna really piss off evil conniving Rebecca. I realllly don't like her...but occasionally you give us this little glimpses...and I feel saad for her. She's pathetic, and sometimes deserves pity.
Oh lord, I surely hope Bill and Andi don't try themselves together again...
I don't know what the twins'll do to get them back together, but somehow I forsee some fake-out illnesses in the future.
I can't wait to see more! Keep up the wonderful work!
Author's Response:
I know but I have a problem with instant gratif
Author's Response: I know but I have a problem with instant gratification and my muses told me to post today or they would abandon me for the rest of the week so... *shrugs*rnrnThis was beyond sad but I tried to go with how everyone would react if this was a real life situation. I hope I nailed it. I wanted a way that Bill and Tom could be close and Rebecca couldn't do anything about it. Everyone has two sides to them. We are not just one way all the time. I try to make my characters real, living, breathing people. She is pathetic but most of her misfortune is her own fault. rnrnBill and Andi are fun to write.rnrnThe twins are also fun to think about and write. I try to make them real so I take notes from my own niece who is six. She thinks of the weirdest things sometimes and in her mind it all makes sense. When her parents split and her dad moved into the basement she tried a multitude of things to get them back together.rnrnI will be posting soon. I am so glad you like it. Thanks for the review.
Date: 07/15/12 01:32 pm Title: A Christmas Heartache
I kno Bill is still hurt but it seems like by not even giving Tom the benefit of a doubt that he's already made up his mind to believe Rebecca's story 100 percent. I guess maybe he's just not ready to hear Tom out but u'd think he'd care enuff about their relationship to at least confront Tom about what she had told him. Even if it's a shouting match. I hate seeing Bill be so cold to Tom when he hasn't done anything wrong. Bill and Andi's trip down memory lane had my stomach turning. I was a bit worried they'd hook up again. If Tom was truly the asshole Rebecca made him out to be, then yeah I could handle that I guess. But as it is, Bill, Tom and the twins are perfect together. I wonder tho if even a heart to heart with Simone could save them.
Author's Response:
Bill is hurting and doesn't know what to think. I don't blame him for his behavior. Bill isn't the confrontational type. He would rather avoid confrontations. I hate to see Bill being so cold too. I thought Andi and Bill's past would add another layer to everything and that layer would help make everything more real. We shall see what happens thanks for the review.
Date: 07/15/12 11:18 am Title: A Christmas Heartache
Oh, my heart is aching for those two ;__;
Maybe Bill and Andi gets together and then Tomi boi gets jelly? Hm .. can't wait for the next chapter. I love the drama! ^^
Author's Response:
My heart was aching as I wrote this too. What does that mean Tomi boy gets jelly? I am glad you like the story and the drama.

just glad to be part of the ride

I am glad you are happy to be with us.

Okay, now I don't like bill. I didn't really enjoy that chapter too much. Rebecca is just a dumb tramp and I think Bill had better get smart before he loses everything he has with Tom and the kids.
8/10
****
Author's Response:
Bill is having a rough time and Tom allowed Rebecca to plant the seeds of doubt. Rebecca isn't dumb she is very cunning and smart even if she uses her smarts to help people. I think Bill will realize what is going on. I hope you enjoy the next few chapters better.
Date: 07/14/12 03:46 am Title: A Clever Lie
I think Bill did believe Rebecca a bit to easily. But given the lack of concern and attention from Tom helped with his doubts. Rebecca planned that out nicely. But shame on Tom, whether Hans was paid to keep him distracted or not Tom just effed up. Hopefully Bill will come around and see the truth.
Author's Response:
Rebecca may be evil and a bitch but she is intelligent. Tom did mess up. I mean if my boyfriend were about to lose his job because of our relationship, I would offer all love and support that I could. I hope Bill will too. Thanks for the review.
