@sizzybuzz.. I don't know why I am unable to post reply on my posts. Thanks for replying to my earlier post. Looking forward to the start of salacious times between Jul & Em. You have said that there will be 60 + chapters instead of 75. Pls do not cut down on. Jul - Em or on David's devatation seeing Em moving forward. Lastly, will Ava - Em confrontation happen? May be knowing about Grace's birth will set Ava off ?
How many chapters do you estimate there will be? We are on, I believe, 39 and you say Emily and Julian’s romance will blossom, but we still need an Ava/Emily confrontation and her reconciliation with David. I’m assuming we will find out who sends the video, too. Also, David’s parentage (which could be in a Kathryn/James novel) reveal. I’m open to reading 100 chapters, but you said there wouldn’t be that many (LOL). I’m all in, but trying to temper my expectations. As I said before, I’m not a big surprise girl, I read the last chapter first in a physical novel.
@jwelbo I lOVE the fact you are open to 100 chapters LOL❤️ but not sure that would work as a paperback, it would be more expensive than War & Peace LOL!!!Yes we have a ton to get through, so far I have 75 chapters that I will condense for the sake of the story so we are looking at round 60+ chapters X
I can’t find the first book on Kindle. Is it there yet?
@sizzybuzz Lola you have made my day with this chapter. Everything went exactly like I had hoped. Gracie is so loved. Can’t wait until we get to see her brothers meet her for the first time as well. Hugs to you ❤️
@sizzybizz.. So sorry for your loss. Hope you heal & find peace. Take care and look after your self & your mental health. I am the odd one out, but todsy's chapter was disturbing to me on many levels. I could not fathom Emily being comfortable with David being in the delivery room.. Has she forgotten the affair, David getting Ava pregnant? What about Julian. Was he just a decorative character in the book? I did like the way he backed off. That showed maturity & integrity. I also liked the part where David acknowledged Julian. So will we see emotional & physical relation between Julian & Emily in the future now that Grace has been born? I was so looking forward to Em moving on with Julian before she got back together with David. Hope I am not disappointed..
@avbookworm Thank you for your lovely words Av, they mean so much X ❤️ Emily hasn't forgotten anything, I assure you, but here is the reason. As I said to another reader, Grace will find out that her own father wasn't present for her birth when he was for her siblings, and I couldn't do it to her and nor could Emily. Children come first. Now we will see Julian and Emily's relationship blossom. Julian knew this night was not his place, he's always known that. David also knew that he owed Julian and it was silently settled between them. However there is a lot to come! X
Wow Lola...I am so happy that David was in the delivery room for Grace's birth and he had the opportunity for the initial bonding between father and daughter--- so important. Your descriptive writing brought me back to the delivery room and the births of my daughters. Grace wasn't waiting around... my kind of girl. I am looking forward to Max and Theo meeting Baby G. His love for Emily was palpable in the delivery room.
I saw both growth and realization in Davids inner thoughts dealing with Julian and also Grace's birth. Maybe our man-child is growing up. I would love to be a fly on the wall when Ava learns about Grace. Hey wait... I will be a fly on the wall because you do such a great job of putting your readers in the room with your characters. Thank you again for sharing your talent with us. Condolences again to you and your son. Mackinac Island is beautiful today and the WiFi works great here. We are heading to Kilwins with the grandkids for fudge and ice cream.
@Deb1166 Aw thank you SO much Deb as always ❤️ I knew that I couldn't deprive Grace of having her father there when he was there for the boys. David IS changing. We are getting there It's a crawl not a sprint with David! You WILL be the fly (a butterfly) on the wall. I never make promises I won't keep! Sounds like you are having an amazing time. Could you please send me that USA fudge you guys do so well? The BEST. Pretty please ? X
A truly beautiful and heartfelt chapter, Lola. It touched me in so many ways. ❤️
I have to admit, I was hoping Emily wouldn't allow David to be present during the birth, but I completely respected the way you chose to write it. What I loved even more was how Julian respected Emily's decision quietly without making it about himself and stayed within the boundaries she set.
Now I honestly can't wait to read Max and Theo's reactions to meeting their little sister. I have a feeling those moments are going to be incredibly emotional and full of love.
Thank you for another chapter that was both beautiful and deeply moving. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
@ShellyGupta7 Aw Shelly Thank you! ❤️ It was a big decision, I must admit, but then I thought about 12 year old Grace discovering that she was the only one her father never saw born and I just couldn't do it. I think Julian has behaved like the gentleman he is throughout. The boys are going to be OVER THE MOON and obviously Grace will have them wrapped around her pinkie finger! Thank you for your support Shelly and for really engaging in my writing, it means so much to me X
The chapter!!! God, there's just one word to describe it: beautiful. So beautifully written. ❤️
I really hope this marks the beginning of them finally coming together as one.
@Tendaystogo Wow! Thank you SO Much! ❤️ That means everything. I was so, so nervous about it, more than almost any other I think! X
Lola, IMO this is your best chapter to date—and I say that as a fan. Your writing was simply incredible and the length was so perfect. Truly blown away.
Grace’s birth was beautifully written and literally brought tears to my eyes; perfect. Lola your talents know no bounds. Thank you for sharing.
On a separate note, please continue to care for yourself during the waves of grief from the death of your friend. Grieving has no timeline. Please take care and as always, be well.
@DebBaszczuk Aw Deb, thank you, for YOUR support, compassion and your generosity. it means everything to me, and I am thrilled you enjoyed it ❤️Your opinion matters deeply to me. And yes, I promise to take care. One funny moment I remembered when I reread this before posting. JT managed to get a call through to me in the delivery room — How? I have no clue — and I had to tell him, I would call him back as I was just about to start pushing! LOL. Happy memories X
