Okay lets try this again....

I'm glad he knows. I can't wait to see how it goes and how she explains herself.

I wonder what is going through his mind though when he sees the baby on the screen.

Update soon please! I'm on the end of my seat waiting!

Author's Response: I think ge is just going to be in pure shock and she is going to have a hell of a lot of explaining to do that is for sure! Thanks for the review!

Yay your back to writing!! I love your story so far. I can't wait to see how it all goes.

I'm happy that Adie is preggers but I dont like how she hasnt said anything to Nick yet. Hopefully she tells him first or somehow slips it out to him accidentally. I hope that they will work everything out and get back together sooner rather than later.

Her stubborness is killing me! lol. Can't wait for the next update :D

Author's Response:

Thanks for your awesome comments, I'm glad you are enjoying my work! At the moment it is going to be a while before Nick finds out and I'm not completely sure on the circumstances surrounding how he will find out either but you can bet your bottom dollar he is going to be shocked beyond belief!

Great Update!!!! I can't wait for the next one.

I love how Nick got emotional so I'm hoping that he can show adie that side of him. Please update soon!

Author's Response: He needed to get emotional, he needed to show a certain person the real him and now Rachel has seen how vunerable he is it won't be long until Adie finds out, whether she will do anything about it or not is a different matter. I think to her it might be a case of too little too late! Thanks for the review!

Woo hoo an update!!

You're right it wasn't very long and you left us on another clif hanger!!

I like how she finally told someone that she's pregnant and that its Nick's or as you wrote "the guy I walked away from" that was a good touch,lol. I can't wait to see how Nick takes the news; I also hope she tells him first though and not her sister.

I can't wait for the next update to see how everything happens.Hopefully the next chapter will be a long one!

Author's Response:

I love writing cliff hangers! I just think it keeps you guys interested and reading and if I gave it all away after building all that suspense you guys would be bored! LOL! I think she definetly needed to get the whole baby issue of her chest and at least she has told someone who she can trust but I think Chelle is also someone who isn't going to let her get away with not telling Nick for long!

 Thanks for the review!

UGH ANOTHER CLIF HANGER!!!!!!!!

Seriously can we stop with the clif hangers??LOL.

I really hoped that this was the chapter that she told him but oops nope she might not be preggo now. In a way it might be good that she isn't pregnant anymore but then its sad because it is a baby. I'm torn as to which way this will really go.

I like how you wrote this chapter, especially the scene between the two of them and how he barely kissed her that was really sweet and it goes to show you that you can really effect someone with a simple touch.

I hope you've never had that kind of trouble at work. I also can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Sorry but cliff hangers = suspense = you guys coming back for more! LOL! I was actually going to let this be the chapter but I decided to split it because I didn't want you guys to know whether the loses the baby or not right away. It adds to the drama! Also it would have been a long ass chappie!

As to the kiss, I think he wanted to show her he still loved her, we all know he has a difficult time in verbalising stuff and I think in this instance actions said a whole lot more then his words could have. It wasn't very passionate, it wasn't lust felt, it was a small peck but sometimes I think it is those sorts of kisses that mean more! Just damn bad timing with the guy that came in.  As for your question about having to deal with that at work I have to say yes I have had to restrain many people but fourtunetly I have never been grabbed at, spat at yes, but not grabbed at!

HOLY CLIFF HANGER!!!!

This was an amazing chapter! By far my favorite one so far. You said that this was your first attempt at writing a chapter like this, I'm guessing your referring to the journal entrys? You did really well, I liked how you incorperated all different kinds of scenarios.

I love the fact that she is FINALLY coming to terms that its her and not just him. She does need to open up and atleast TRY like Nick is. I can honestly say though I was trying to figure out what skeletons were in her past....I can tell you I didn't see her as the kind of person that would be on her second pregnancy, that was totally out of left field. Great job!

I'm really happy with this chapter and I can't wait to see what else unfolds between the two of them. It should be really interesting now, especially with her bomb that she just dropped. I am glad though that she is saying all this around the doctor rather than just between her and nick. Great work, keep up with the fast updating!!

Author's Response:

Thanks for your encouragement! i wasn't sure how people were going to react to the journal enteries! As for Adie - she has always known that she is as bad for Nick at sharing but she has wanted to try and hide behind Nick and his insecurities and hide her own. Something that she was never going to be able to sustain forever!

The next chapter is mainly going to center around Nick and his reaction because once again he has just found out some shocking news and once again it is in front of the same doctor! All this time Adie has been saying he can trust her but can he really? I am hoping to get a least one more chappie out before the end of the week so keep your eyes peeled!

*wipes tear from eye*

This was an amazing chapter!!! I loved it!!

I am so happy that she has finally realized that she needs him as much as he needs her. I thought the 'sugar puff' nickname was hilarious, that was a nice touch. I do have to say I was not expecting all of this stuff to happen in this chapter,but I'm not complaining!

I loved how you snuck Adie into the part where Nick was holding Max. That was a cute but gut wrenching moment. Most of all I love how you left us with another cliff hanger. This is by the far the peak of the story for me. I can't wait to see what you do with this. By the way are you ever going to tell us about her first pregnancy? I hope you update soon!

Author's Response:

You know what I didn't think all of this was going to happen either! I don't really plan my chapters out brilliantly I just sorta know what needs to happen and I tried really hard to spilt this so it was two but I just couldn't do it so you got the lot! Glad you lied the sugar puff nickname, I needed to show his softer side after his outburst and that was the best way of doing it, it also made Adie remember the times she had been trying so hard to repress!

I think it was important for Adie to see Nick with Max because it really hit home what her future could be like and it also demonstrated how Nick had grown up and how he does want everything with her. All will be revealed in the next chapter about everything to do with Adie. I was going to do it in a conversation with her sister but I thought it would be better for you guys to finally hear about it when she told Nick everything because his reaction is going to be important to the story.

PLease vote at the felix awards for me! Best cliffie catergory maybe?!

Date: 02/05/09 Title: Chapter 32: The Truth

Woo hoo an update!

In all honesty though, this was an okay chapter. This one didnt have alot in it like I thought it would, it didn't hook me persay. Don't get me wrong, there were some good points in the chapter but it just seems to simple. I do like how you started off the story from Nicks perspective and I also like how she FINALLY opened up to him (it took her long enough!)

I dont know, I guess I was just hoping for some more emotion or love from each of them in this chapter, considering she came back to him. I also thought that the scene where she finally told him about the abortion was just a little to common. I can say that I didn't see it having to deal with Mark but still that kind of situation doesnt seem all that scarring (then again you may get more detailed in some other chapters depending on if she goes to therapy.)

I do have an idea though, with the new article that Nick did in the isssue of People Magazine (which you should go pick up if you already haven't lol, maybe you could write his heart problem into the story line (he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy which is a build up of toxins that prevents the heart from pumping blood efficiently.) Not like Nick & Adie need anymore drama but I just thought I would throw that out there.

This is one of my favorite stories and I will vote for you at the awards. Good luck and I can't wait to read the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Thanks for your honesty. I like constructive critism because it shows you way to improve and sometimes people can be a little too nice instead of telling you like it is. I did struggle with this chapter purely because I didn't want to give too much away right at the beginning. I don't think Adie has realsied how deeply this effects her yet and therapy is going to play a huge role in getting to the bottom of everything. You will get more deatils over the next few chapters!! Then you should hopefully understand why she just recioled into herself like she did. There is still so much more drama to come!

I have read the article and did consider wiritng it in to this story but I just think it's going to be a little difficult because of the time span and I don't think Adie is the type of person to be with Nick when he was using, I think she would be the one to tell him straight. Don't worry though because this has given me an idea for another story that has been put on the back burner while I have been writing this one and I think it will fit oerfectly into Past, Present and Future!

Thanks for the review and thanks for voting and please keep being honest because it will only make this story better!

Date: 02/17/09 Title: Chapter 33: Before the worst

I was wondering when you would update, and you finally did!

I really liked this chapter. It was completely raw & emotional. The way they were with each other was great! I am so happy that they finally opened up to each other in more than one way, and I can't wait to see what happens in therapy.

The scene you wrote where Nick went eye level with her stomach was adorable. The way he just started talking about baby stuff and what he was learning was so cute, I am glad you added that Adie needed to see that. I'm glad Nick finally cried in front of her, and I mean really cried. She finally needed to realize that him breaking down his walls wasnt going to fix their situation, she needs to do it too.

Great update and I can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

I have to admit that this chapter and the previous have been the hardest to write because I don't want to give too much away at the moment but I also do not want it to seem like everything is fine and fixed and that they are going to live happily ever after! There is lots more to come about how they are both going to deal with how she left and Nick hasn't even begun to show her how she hurt him!

The scene with Nick was purely to show Adie how wrong she did have it, how wrong she had perceived him and his notions about not being a Father, just because someone says no to a hypothetical situation doesn't mean they won't change their minds when faced with the real thing. But then again can we really blame her for that after what Mark did to her?

All in all they have a seriously long way to go and thats not to say something won't happen to tear the apart further down the line! Thanks for reviewing!

Date: 02/23/09 Title: Chapter 34: All in my head

I liked this chapter. My favorite part though was how you ended it. Adie is suprising me in every chapter, the way she just openly said, "I want you to come with me." & "I don't want there to be anything between us by the time she comes." is a HUGE thing for her. I am so glad that she is finally talking and showing her past and emotions.

Nick is doing a good job too. I really hope that he doesn't hold in his feelings anymore because that would just ruin the progress that he is making. I agree with him on the situation with Adies job. I dont really like her character working at the ER either while she is pregnant. I know he has an issue with her working their period but I just think its unsafe & unhealthy for her since she is pregnant. Not only is she putting her and the baby in danger but she is also around the sick people and what not. I just hope nothing happens to her or the baby.

With Nick going on tour things should be getting more interesting since they are back together and Adie is hormonal as ever! I hope that the baby doesn't come early as I really want Nick to be there (although the birth is still far off....hopefully!)

Nick & Adie are making good progress together. I just hope to see more scenes of them "in love & happy" especially before he goes away. It would be a nice change since we haven't seen that side of them in awhile.

Great update and hurry back with the next chapter!

Author's Response:

It is a huge step for Adie to invite him alng but I think she wants to have everything sorted and out nthe open by the time the baby comes. I'm not sure if that is going to be possible because there is a lot of stuff! But she is a bit of a control freak like that.

You are going to see more of Nick over the next few chapters, I'm not sure if there is going to be anymore diary enteries, I need to think about how to slot them in but there is going to be a revealing therapy session in which Adie will realise a few things about him. It's going to mke her see why he has been so shut off. And you are going to get your wish about seeing them more in love and happy because I have a few aww so sweet scenes coming up!

Thanks for the review!

Date: 03/03/09 Title: Chapter 35: Up all night

This is by far the best chapter you have written in this story!

It was full of raw emotion. I am so happy for the both of them, they are making so much progress. I am so glad that Adie finally opened up to him about some of her feelings and why she did what she did. I like how you kept writing Nick in when he would cut Adie off, that seems like something he would totally do.

My favorite part of this chapter is by far the ending. The way you wrote how they completed their "homework" was awesome. I absolutely adored the baby kicking scene and where Nick is wondering why his body is waking up at 3:30 in the morning,lol. The line where Nick stated "I'm too tired for sex, promise in the morning." was a nice touch definately funny!

I am so happy that they have both stated their fears and their love for each other. I can't wait to see what happens in their next therapy session; see what Nick has to say about everything including his past.

One quick thing..do you have a baby's name planned? If so when are you going to tell us what its going to be? Great update and hurry back with the next one!

Author's Response:

They are only going to get better after this! But Thanks for the huge compliment.

I wanted to portray Nick as being eager to know everything to the point where he got impatient because she couldn't tell him quick enough and I think it worked very well because in situations like that emotions do run high and people can get impatient. Nick's therapy session will be in about two chapters time but there will be lots revealed in that one!

I tend to have some of my most heartfelt but also difficult conversations late at night I'm not sure whether it is because you're both in bed and vunerable or because it's dark but it just works really well and I just had to use it for this story. Nick was telling her his fears but at the same time he didn't have to look at her and she couldn't see him that well to see how much he was hurting, it's like a protection mechanism.

Yes I do know what she is going to be named and you will also find that out within the next few chappies!

Thanks for the review!

Okay this week I am leaving a short review because I am really really sick.

This was a good update. This chapter was well detailed and I love how you decided to write a chapter about them taking a baby home. They definately needed the experience. I hope that Adie doesn't hold all those dreams in because its just going to eat away at her and by her holding all that in she is taking steps back instead of forward.

Great update and I can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

I hope you are feeling better hon! I hate feeling poorly!

It was important to show them both with a newborn because it made Nick more confident and it also made Adie realsie what a huge mistake she could have possibly made. That is going to play a bigger part later. Also there definetly needed to be more aww factor in this story because it has been a bit of a downer so far and there is more down stuff to come as well!

Thanks for the review!

Date: 03/17/09 Title: Chapter 37: All I Have to Give

That was a quick update! I liked it!

I'm really happy that the two of them are making progress. Adie is more so making the attempt but Nick is slowly getting there. I know he has demons in his closet but one thing his character needs to realize is that in order to fully love someone you have to accept them no matter what and he doesn't see that Adie has accepted him. He still thinks that he isn't good enough, then again he probably is still scared, scared that she might leave him again.

I liked how you started to show some of nick's side in this chapter. I can't wait to see what else is going to happen with him. Its about time he got his part,lol.

I like how you added the scene where they went to pick the paint color, that was cute. Nick not allowing pink is a typical man, I'm glad that he chose purple...hanging out with Howie all those years paid off!

You're doing really well with updating on a regular basis now, I'm loving it! I hope that you have the time to continue to do that. Good luck and hurry back with the next update!

Author's Response:

I think Nick still is really scared that she is going to leave him again and he told her that a few chapters ago. He finds it difficult to trust and open up and as you saw in this chapter he doesn't believe Adie can understand where he is coming from because in his eyes he thinks her childhood was great. It was important for her to set him straight and I think finally he might start to understand that no one's life is easy.

Thanks for the review! Hope you are feeling better  now x

Date: 03/31/09 Title: Chapter 38: In Dreams

This was a good chapter. I liked this one alot. Just when you thought she was making progress she withdraws back into herself and then when you thought she was going a certain way, bam she opens up! There were a few twist & turns in this one so it kept me on my toes!

I am so glad that Adie went to her dad and had a talk with him,instead of shutting down and not talking to anyone. I loved how Nick found her, they really needed to have that conversation because he needed to tell her his fears as well as she needed to tell him about the dreams. In all honesty I would be scared to leave too, if I had come home to just a note.

I'm interested to see how things are going to go while he's gone for a month. I just hope she doesn't go into labor! I like the new banner you have, but if I may ask, why did you change it? Correct me if I'm wrong but is that Nick & Lauren in the middle of the banner? I must say I really don't like Lauren, I know this is going to sound mean but she just isn't pretty enough. She always seems to not care what she looks like no matter where she is at, let it be going out to a club or going to the store; she looks very grungy. But if he's happy I guess that's all that matters.

Hurry back with the next update!

Author's Response:

I changed the banner because I was getting a bit bored with the old one. Yep you are right it is Lauren in the middle but I kind of think what you said about her was uncalled for. So she doesn't always have make up on, so she dressed down? Do you always where your heels and full makeup? I know I don't and kudos to her for not carign what the media think. After all its what's on the inside that counts and she obviosuly has something that Nick likes. I do like how much she resembles the girl on my old banner though! LOL!

Originally she was going to withdraw completely but it just felt like de ja vu and I thought you guys would get sick of her again. She is just as scared as Nick is but for different reasons. It is definetly going to be interesting while he is away that is for sure!

 

Thanks for the review keep em coming!

Date: 04/13/09 Title: Chapter 39: I'm Walking Away

Yay an update! Finally one of my favorite stories has been updated!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!!!! You can not do this to me. Leaving it on a cliffe is so uncalled for! LOL

I HOPE TO GOD Adie isn't walking away for good again, if she is I don't think I'm going to continue reading the story, lol. Adie was making such great progress up until this happened. I just hope instead of her running away from it all that she goes to Nick, that would be a nice suprise.

The media does tend to OVERPLAY a story and it does get annoying. She just has to learn that the public/fans is always going to be there, they are always going to have mean things to say, and she just can't let it get to her. She was handling it all so well until she was told to go on vacation.

Please don't leave it on a cliffe to long I want to see how this unfolds.

Author's Response:

Aww one of your favorite stories? That's a really sweet thing to say! Cliffies are what I live for my Darlin!

 

She definetly needs to learn to deal with the media scutiny better but right now she is feeling very vunerable because these people now know where she works. Not only that she is pregnant and her hormones are everwhere! She just needs some time away to be able to deal with it all! I am keeping quiet about where she is going though because I want to keep you ll on your toes! LOL!

Thanks for the review!
