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!

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!!!
