poor Addie. I think this is the main reason why I could never get an abortion. I am pro-life, but I am not anti-abortion. I just would never do it myself, because I think the guilt would eat me alive.
I hope she realizes how hypocritical she has been when comes to keeping things away from the person you love.
Author's Response: She has been so hypocritical but I don't think it was a concious thing on her part. She thought she had gotten over it, buried it but this pregnancy has just made her realise that she hasn't. She is kind of in the same situation as before because Nick had told her when they have spoken about it that he wasn't ready, which is exactly what Mark told her before. It almost seemed like history repeating itself again, but we will go deeper into that in a few chapters time! Thanks for the review!

so glad she finally got that out there. and he was so good to her. loved it. cant wait for more!
Author's Response: I think she definetly needed to let that go because it was forever going to hold her back and tarnish their relationship if she didnt. I don't think she expected him to be as understanding as he was either!

omg! more soon! poor addie!!!!
Author's Response: I will update as soon as I can

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!

OK...I think the beginning, the whole part with Adie coming in, Nick puttin her in the tub, all that, might be one of the sweetest things I have ever read - I adore that scene. I love Adie in the tub with her thoughts underwater. I love all of the little nuiances like Nick remembering she didn't like white marshmellows. And I completely forgot that Angel was there!
The scene of her telling him the truth was great too, I loved when she said she couldn't be honest if he was next to her, but that she was able to tell him while looking at him.
Good stuff, lady! Update again soon!
Author's Response:
I had a feeling you were going to like the beginning because I think you are as big of a sap for that stuff like I am! It just screamed an aww moment at the beginning and I also think it made her realise what she had done and what she had given up. Nick could be a jerk, could be really childish and shut off but it is the small things like the bath and remembering that she doesn't like white marshmellows that count, that show her that deep down he does really care for her.
The scene where she told him everything was difficult to write because I didn't want to give away everything just yet, a lot more is going to come out through therapy and arguments they have later on, so I kind of just gave you a basic overview of things. She couldnt be close to him and tell him everything, there had to be a barrier between them so she could protect herself in some way, when he met her she was hugely confident but now she has just withdrawn into herself which is something he never expected and it is going to take a while to get to the bottom of everything!
Your turn now I do believe my lovely!!!

Wowza, action packed chapter with an evil cliffie of an ending, you are getting good at that. I can't wait for more...Nick's reaction, for them to really talk about some things - like what the journal said, the rest of the entries, her abortion, etc. I loved Angel's rant too...so true, and seeing a baby and all that, wow, just put it all into perspective for them. Great stuff, lady - update soon!!!
Author's Response:
I was just on a roll! It's amazing I finished my nights, came home and instead of sleeping for a few hours like I usually do I ended up cranking out the rest of the chapter! The next chappie is going to reveal a lot. You guys will hopefully understand Adie's decisions a lot better, you may actually start to like her!!!! LOL! I won't hold my breath!
The whole baby thing was soooooooooooooooo important and Rachel really only was pregnant in this story for that one scene and also another but that will be a lot later on! I don't want to give away too much! Seeing Nick with Max finally made Adie realise what she could be potentially giving up! Don't worry though this story is far from over and there is lots more drama to come! Thanks for the review! Now it would be your turn Darbs!!! HINT!!!

All I can say is.....it is about DAMN time!!!!!
Update soon please! I deperately need to know what Nicks reaction is!!!
Author's Response: I thought you would be happy! LOL! I am just about to start the next chappy so it should't be too long! Thanks for the revie!

*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?!

awww i love it! "I want to come home" this made me think of something out of a movie. lol. great job. can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't sure whether to go with the whole cliched movie angle of her turning up after walking for ages in the rain with everything against her, but it just worked so well!
