Whow, it is getting hot in here. well, okay... there is the things with her hormones, but i'm sure that is not the only reason all of her sex dreams are about nick and that she make that move on him.
Author's Response: Haha... Yea things are definitely heatung up in these next few chapters. A lot has to do with those pregnancy hormones, but there are also other factors coming into play. Pregnancy hormones + old feelings = a sure recipe for disaster LOl

First of all... Fortunately the baby is fine! And, that was so cute of nick to be with her that day. But in the end, it makes it so much harder for him, now he had been with her when the doctor told that it is going to be a girl. and that he was with her when she kicked for the first time, that even felt that too.
well... yes alyssa, probably there are still some feelings for nick!!!
Author's Response: It was nice of Nick to be there for her and I agree that now he's probably more involved than ever. Now we have to see how this affects Alyssa's already muddled feeings.
Date: 11/19/08 05:41 pm Title: Chapter 29 - You May Now Kiss the Bridesmaid
aaaaaand again... tears in my eyes. i loved it. the whole scene with the song, the two of them dancing, everything was perfect. and it was so good that nick told her about her feeling. though she is not sure if he is true (i think he is). then the kiss... i think she is only trying to fight against her feelings she is still having for him. but that won't be possible forever. and well, yes, it probably has a meaning that the garter chaught him.
well, i think he has to proove alyssa that everything he said is true.
Author's Response: I think you are pretty on track on your analysis of that kiss Alex! They do say that catching the garter is pretty symbolic... You'll have to see how that plays out. Let's see if Nick can back up his claims...
Date: 11/19/08 05:06 pm Title: Chapter 28 - Going to the Chapel
Again a great chapter. funny how teri thought that they hooked up in the church :D but, the part about their past shows that there has always been something between them. can't wait to find out what happened to katie and of course how the wedding is going to continue.
Author's Response: Ha yea the hooking up in the church thing was inspired by a conversation I had with a beta that went way off course. LOL I was telling her about how Alyssa and Nick hooked up at Kevin's wedding and she thought i actually meant during the ceremony not afterwards LOL. It was so funny I had to include it. You'll find out more about Katie throughout this story in later chapters.
Date: 11/19/08 03:25 pm Title: Chapter 27 - Girls Behaving Badly
Well... I LOVE Teri and Tricia. And I think it was right to tell them everything. Now she knows that she doesn't have to go all alone through all this and that her friends will be at her side whenever she needs them. Though I agree that she should talk to Nick.
Author's Response: Teri and Tricia are great, aren't they? Of course they are going to stick by Alyssa which is a relief to her. And yes she should talk to Nick, but first she has to work up the nerve!
Date: 11/19/08 02:04 pm Title: Chapter 26 - Emotion Sickness
And you did it again... making me cry! Oh my god... i'm sure that this was the hardest decision for her to make. and she knew that she is going to hurt nick but probably has no idea how much she really hurt him :(
and well... i think it is a wrong decision. to go back to shayla now. yes he is alone, he is sad... but it is not the right reason to go back to shayla that he just can't have alyssa.
Author's Response: Yea it definitely is a very tough desicion for Alyssa to have to make and of course Nick isn't exactly showing her how much it hurts him. I agree that Nick shouldn't go back to Shayla, but that is one of Nick's major flaws. He can't be alone.
Date: 11/19/08 01:02 pm Title: Chapter 19 - The Power of Goodbye
You're welcome ;) We even recommended to anothere friend now, too! So, does that mean, that you probably gonna write some new stuff? Cause we already start thinking about what we should read when we finished this story. Would be awesome to get some more to read.
Author's Response: Ha lol Thanks so much! I should like hire you as a recuritor or something lol LOl There is a sequel to this story in the works, but I have been a little too busy the past few days to start it up. Maybe I can do that this weekend. In the meantime if you are looking fo something else to read there is actually a story before this one called Under my Skin (not sure if you read it or not.) I don't think its AS good, because I wasn't as strong of a writer back when I was writing it, but you might want to check it out. I also started a prequel called What Makes You Different about Alyssa and Nick back in their early 20's during the B&B days, but that is only 3 chapters in.
Date: 11/19/08 12:58 am Title: Chapter 25 - You Can Run But You Can't Hide
OMG... what are you doing with me??? Again, i have tears in my ears. this was so whow...
i like the scene with the kiss. this was full of passion and yes, she can't deny the feelings.
but... this wasn't the best way to let him know about it but at least he knows it. i can understand that is probably more that he can't stand for the moment.
one of my fave chapter so far, i guess.
Author's Response: That kiss was so unexpected too. I was writing and it just kind of came out, so i guess it really did come across as passionate. Not the way you'd exect Alyssa to break the news, but since when do they do what it is expected or logical? Thank you for all your reviews!
Date: 11/19/08 12:16 am Title: Chapter 24 - Just Hit Static
Honestly... I had tears in my eyes because of the present. and yes, he has no idea how big his part is in the life of her child. but yes, the way he is acting makes it a lot harder for her to go on with the lying, so she should tell him the truth. i mean, he is starting to thing that he did something wrong :(
and shayla... well he should come to a decision. it is not so fair. and haha, that didn't work about the telefon sex game :D
Author's Response: Nick's sweet behavior is definitely making things that much harder for Alyssa to decide what to do in her situation. Hah yea Shayla trying to coerce Nick into phone sex was a pretty funny scene!
Date: 11/18/08 11:50 pm Title: Chapter 23 - Denial Is Not Just a River
Okay... all of her options have some bad things in it. though i have to admit that i'm for the A plan.
and i think that lying was really not the thing she should do cause in the end it even gets more difficult for all of them.
Author's Response: I agree... Lying isn't the best option, but will Alyssa listen? We'll have to see!
Date: 11/18/08 05:18 pm Title: Chapter 22 - A Sterile Revelation
yeah and I knew that!!! i knew it since the night they spend together. but yes, now everything is going to be even more complicated.
Author's Response: It sure is! Things are about to get a lot more interesting indeed!
Date: 11/18/08 05:08 pm Title: Chapter 21 - The Greatest Gift of All
From the very beginning of the chapter I knew that she is pregnant. I can understand her reaction after the looooooong time she had to wait for this news. BUT... I have an idea in my mind that I had since the night that Alyssa spend with Nick and I'm quite sure that the idea is right. But I'll see.
Well I guess Shayla has a little bit too much hope that things are going to be okay again between Nick and her.
Author's Response: Haha what gave it away? Maybe the sudden vomiting? Ha you'll have to keep reading to find out if you idea is correct!
Date: 11/18/08 04:28 pm Title: Chapter 20 - Table For One
I love the chapter. It's so sad for her to be alone that special day. I knew that the flowers are from nick. and it was a sweet idea. same like the idea to spend the evening with her so that she has not to be alone. but... i'm sure that she is still hoping that there maybe is a chance though he agreed to her when she said, nothing happenend, friends and no moments alone.
Author's Response: Yea it was very sweet of Nick to do all that for her. Let's see how long they can keep to this "no moments alone" thing.
Date: 11/18/08 03:43 pm Title: Chapter 19- The Power of Goodbye (Real Version)
I guess i haven't said something to the opening scene of the chapter... though i have to admit that i don't like sean that much the whole scene was kinda sad :(
Damn, that is not that easy to deal for nick. I think he is not willing to forgive shayla and stay with her only because the media wants to see them together. maybe it is a good idea to think a little bit about the whole situation.
and last but not least. pretty strengthfull of alyssa to not contact nick cause this would be the easiest way for her... to let her fall in his arms now that sean is gone. though i think it would be nice if she did haha.
Author's Response: Aww I am glad that you mustered up some sympathy for Sean. Nick is definitely in a very tough situation with Shayla. As for Alyssa falling into Nick's arms although it sounds nice her husband just left for Iraq. That would prolly not make her a very good person to immdiately take advantage of that fact lol
