Review tiime! I actually read this update on my break in work, but alas... stupid phone won't let me sign in, and i kinda forgot what i wanted to review back then :( Buuut I still have more to say HAHA

One thing that stuck in my mind... well several actually.. One was how Nick and Brooke were with each other. A father who absolutely dotes on his daughter, and a daughter who idolises her father. I know you didn't write much interaction with them, but i kinda read between the lines.

And another.. How everyone took Shelby and Mason's news. Nick was speechless. probably because he thought he had foot in mouth syndrome with bringing the ginger babies up, and he's probably imagining what it would be like if it was Brooke pregnant at 16. And Liv's reaction... pretty much sums up how anyone who knows them would probably feel.

It's pretty much hit home for Shelby and Mason now, the fact she will have a tiny baby of her own. It probably sounds real easy to them, having a kid... but she only held Landon for a few moments before freaking. Landon's obviously only crying because he's picked up on her nervous state, but i can already tell Shelby's going to think its because she's not going to be a good mom.

So yea i still cant remember what i was originally going to write. I'll probably review again when i do haha!

Any more updates for today?

Author's Response: Ooh I really love psychological analysis of my writing...especially when it's SO dead on. So let's see...I'm all alone here at work so I will pick this up bit by bit. I'm SO glad you caught the whole Nick/Brooke thing. He thinks Peyton's cute as a button but there's still that bond between Nick and Brooke. I get warm fuzzies. :) Nick def. had foot in the mouth syndrome and Liv totally echoes everyone's sentiments. I actually continued Liv's line of thought in chapter 34 (as you will see). Shelby and Mason are going to have a lot of those 'brick wall' moments before this story is all done. And you're right, Shel's got a horrible fear that she's going to be a big screw up...but it was just Landon picking up on the stress. You'll see a better side of that, again, in chapter 34. So, in conclusion, I hope you get another break at work because I just posted another update! Probably going to be the last one today...I had school all morning and I work until 10 tonight. But I have tomorrow off so maybe I'll be uber lazy between homework assignments and go on a writing spree!

Just got home from work to TWO updates! Love that haha! So this review will be mega long probably haha!

Loved the thanksgiving chapter. With the hustle and bustle of getting the food ready (or getting it made for them) to Denise coming with the Turkey. You can tell Denise counts Shelby as her granddaughter just as much as she does the other kids, thats real sweet. And the way she asked her if she was ok and didn't use the whole pityful way of asking. Thats good.

And LMFAO at the questions the kids were asking her about the baby. I was cracking up haha.

I feel for Shelby. That douche was being a total crapbag and she gets reprimanded for it. just cos she is pregnant doesn't mean she's a bad person. He deserved her beating, and the principle... well you would of thought he would of questioned both of them. I'm so glad my school days are long gone. Well they were long gone like 9 years ago but they still haunt me, ugh. I bet Shelby can't wait to leave and be away from them punks.

The last line from this had me thinking.., about Shelby saying that maybe slow was good. I think she knew that back then, but it was the going behind parentals backs and being adventerous that got them into the trouble they were (and are) in. It probably only made it more tempting when the parents went crazy on them.

Anymore updates today? haha

Author's Response: LoL I loved the baby questions too. And Denise DOES consider her a granddaughter just as much as the other kids. And star basketball players wouldn't DARE be reprimanded. ::rolls eyes:: I hated high school too, lol. And lastly, you're right. Shelby and Mason KNEW slow was good, but the parents just egged them on even though they were trying to do the opposite. Good job parentals! Oh, and there's going to be one more update today! I've actually got the first chapter of American Honey done too, but because of the 'two stories at a time' thing I have to decide whether to post THAT or another update to Only in My Dreams. Oh, decisions decisions. I might just post the third chapter of Love Story and the 1st of Amerian Honey. And post OIMD late late tonight.

Aww i might be going to Disney on ice in October HAHA!!

Poor Shel. She's really feeling scared right now. Mason's confidence is definitely affecting her. Still, it should be some comfort knowing if she can't handle it then he might.

But then again she has alot on her shoulders. Everyone expects the mom to be able to handle everything. But what people don't see behind doors is the fact that moms don't always handle everything. I think she's really lucky to have Mason, who's seems so ready for this.

Author's Response: That's so cool! I love Disney on Ice. :) Mason's being strong for both of them, which is another reason he makes THE perfect boyfriend!

I want to go to her school! Everyone seems to much nicer and maturer. I can sense a few new friendships forming there!

And haha AJ is so gonna have a heart attack when Shelby gets behind the wheel. Obv he has his reasons but he needs to give Shel a chance.

Still... i LOVE AJ and Shelby's relationship. They both adore each other and aside the anger and everything thats happened you know neither of them don't think of each other as Father/daughter. She's real lucky!

Author's Response: Shelby is really lucky. AJ was perfect dad material. She made a good Christmas wish all those years ago. And I'm going to LOVE writing an AJ/Shelby driving scene...it'll be coming soon.

Ok i have the time to review properly noow!!

I know it said it in my little review yesterday, but i LOVE Elizabeth for a name. Jolee is pretty too though, and VERY Shelby haha!

So glad she passed her test. And hahaha t the cops for pulling her over after Aj told her to go slow. Take that daddy!!

Love that Mason was there when they found out the sex of the baby. He's so hands on and i love it.

It's about time Shelby spoke up about moving to Kentucky. I think it shows maturity, at the fact she wants to be dependant and live with the father of her baby. Of course she has NO idea what will be in store. I mean if they actually do get a place of their own theres the matter of bills and everything, as well as caring for a small baby and Mason more than likely having to work as well as go to school. Maybe Shelby hasn't quite thought everything through JUST yet, but the fact she's voiced it to her parents is a start.

And I'm craving an update now. Should be sorting through a load of stuff but I'm cheating haha... sat on here reviewing like i should of last night!

Author's Response: LoL well you'll get a couple updates today! In between homework...ugh I hate reading textbooks! I'm officially closing the 'name' contest. One of my readers broke the tie when I checked my 'updates' thread on the message board. So, you'll see the name pop up on American Honey today! And, you're exactly right that Shelby has NO idea what's in store for her, but at least she kinda knows what she wants and is vocalizing it. :)

Aww yay finally Shelby's art work is being appreciated! I love how much she's loving school.

And OMG i so knew she was going to have a car accident. It's why AJ didn't want her driving when she was pregnant. Esp with what happened to Ro. No wonder he burst into tears at the hospital.

Oooh so Shelby's kinda having second thoughts about moving to KY. Times moving quick for her, its no wonder. And with her emotions and everything being all over its understandable. At the end of the day she just wants to be with Mason.

Author's Response: I know I really love that the school 'gets' her. She's much happier for it. And yes I had to put in a car accident. I'm so mean to AJ, lol. But at least no one was really hurt! The Mason/moving drama continues...

So I've been slacking with reviews the past 24 hours. So sorry about that... but..

OMG I SO KNEW SHE WAS GONNA HAVE BRENNA TODAY!!!

:::clears throat::: i just had that feeling! She had a real straight forward birth. Sure she was in labour for a while and had to have a little help, but to me thats like a perfect birth. She handled it so well as well.

Awwww im so proud of our Shelby HAHA!

Author's Response: Yeah I agree...she did have a perfect delivery. Long, but perfect. Just wait until next chapter. Someone else is totally proud of Shelby too :) Get the Kleenex ready!
