Oh yeah... I hate you!!!
Just kidding but you are right - I am really disappointed... I know Nick is insecure but I didn't think he would give up just like that. It's his child after all... I don't think he will be able to just be his/her godfather. But did he have to run back to Shayla??? Like for real? This sucks... Pretty, pretty please update soon! You had me crying here for a moment and I want something to smile about again!

Btw - great chapter and well written! ;)

Author's Response: Aww I'm so sorry sweetie lol I know it is disapointing, but like I said things happen for a reason. I think that Nick kind of feels a lil trapped because if he fights Alyssa on this they'd be pretty much done. We'll see what happens though. As for him running back to Shayla i can just totally see Nick being the type of guy who can't live without a woman, even if its a woman that treats him like crap.

Hey Mel! =)

Great chpter as always! ;) I think it's good that she told someone else because even though it might complicate things for her, it makes them easier, too. Everyone needs someone to talk to and now she has two friends who can be there for her! But I like that they don't seem too fond of Alyssas idea either.
I can't wait to find out what happens on the wedding. A drunk Nick would be awesome! lol Or drama! ;) Even though I want them to get back together in the end! I am a hopeless romatic and I am routing for a happy end! =)

Can't wait for more but I try to be patient! =)

Author's Response: I agree. Alyssa does need some friends she can talk to about her situation. It is interesting though that although they don't necessarily agree with her desicion they will still support her. If only everyone could be that way huh? I dunno if a drunk Nick will be at the wedding, but drama will be lol. You can keep routing for a happy ending though. There's at least twenty more chapters left and a sequel just to give you some perspective.

Hey honey! I read your chapter yesterday but didn't get to write a review right away because it was close to 2am and I was dead tired! lol

Don't get frustrated over your story Mel! You are an awesome writer and there shouldn't be reason to.
I know sometimes it's hard to write and come up with new ideas etc. I feel the same. I haven't updated my story since February. It's not that I don't wanna write or that I have no ideas... Sometimes it just takes time. And all your reader will understand if you need a break. A good story isn't written in 5 minutes.

I loved the new chapter. I think it's good that Nick finally opened up to Alyssa. But I think that she doesn't take him seriously. Maybe he should threaten her that he won't play her little lying game about the baby to make her see that he is indeed serious and that he wants her and the baby.
I am already wondering how the story will continue! =) I can't wait for a happy end. Even though the third story sounds like a lot of drama - O am looking forward to it, too. I will keep reading faithfully. Even if it takes until next year! ;)

Keep up your great work! If you ever need an opinion or idea - feel free to contact me! =)

Author's Response:

Thanks Franzi! Really I think its frustration where I along with my readers just want Alyssa and Nick together, but if I stray from my outline it kind of defeats the purpose of the story. Things have to happen the way I planned them for certain reasons though. I've adjusted some things so hopefully it comes off more positive. I've gotten a lot of flack about UMS being too depressing and I don't want this story to end the same way.

As for the new chapter you're right Alyssa has some doubts but can you blame her? Nick has never been the best at backing his feelings up and showing her they're true, so you can see why she's hesitant. As for Nick threatening her... I don't know if that would help much. It would probably make things worse between them and just be hurtful. But there are other things he can do to show her he's serious about the baby... Thanks for the review!

Date: 05/26/08 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 30 - Damage Control

Wow - that was fast! And I loved it! hehe

I loved the chapter, too. I hadn't expected Nick to be back in her life so soon but I am glad he is and I guess Alyssa is, too. It was cute that he went to the ultrasound with her. I guess he realizes now that the baby is real. But I hate Alyssa for ruining the moment with her Sean comment. That must have hurt Nick. But oh well - there has to be some story left, right? ;) And no - I don't really hate her.
I think she is slowly giving in to him. She let him kiss her and didn't really pull back this time. Gotta love the baby kicking moment though. I guess the little girls knows who her daddy is! =)

I hope you get to update soon again! =) You are an awesome writer! Keep doing your great work!

Author's Response: Sometimes it takes a scary situation to bring two people back together. If it wasn't for Carlos hitting Alyssa, her and Nick wouldn't have been talking, so i guess it is sort of a blessing in disguise. Lol I really think that Alyssa was just overexcited and let the comment about Sean slip without thinking. There is definitely a lot of story left, at least 25 more chapters I believe.  And perhaps she is slowly starting to come around...

Date: 05/28/08 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 31 - Hormonal Overdrive

I admit that I have absolutly no clue about breast feeding - never thought about it and probably won't for a while! lol
But I must say I absolutly loved this chapter. You show how hormonal Alyssa is and how torn inside. Sometimes she wants Nick, sometimes she doesn't.
I think you can really see that they get closer again. Not just physically. She didn't seem embarassed about nearly jumping Nick and even smiled when he left. I hope it will continue like that! hehe But I feel there is something coming concerning Sean - the way you said he didn't contact her for some weeks makes me suspious. ;)
I hope you update soon again! =) I am getting spoiled here! lol See ya next chapter Mel! =)

Author's Response: Yea I don't have to worry about it for a while myself, but a lot of women get VERY hot under the collar about it... Those crazy hormones are so much fun to write. They definitely are playing a big role in Alyssa's actions lately.  It IS nice though seeing Alyssa being a lil more selfish when it comes to things like that. Shows how much confidence she's developed. Hmmm... We'll just have to see about Sean...

*fans herself*

Man, that was HOT! lol
Great chapter Mel! As always. Even though I am a disappointed that they didn't get through with having sex! haha But that's okay. I think I can understand where Alyssa is coming from. Poor thing. I hope she can figure out what she wants soon. And hopefully it will be Nick! =)
I loved how you ended the chapter with them sleeping together and Nick feeling the baby kick. That was really cute and yeah maybe it is supossed to be like that! =)

I hope you update soon again because I can't wait to read more! =)

Author's Response: Thanks Franzi! LOL I tried my hardest to make it somewhat passion fueled although its hard to keep up the mood when you're literally stuck writing maybe a paragraph a day. The whole fact that they didn't actually have sex, although its disapointing it's something that they both need to consider a lil more fully before they give in to each other. Not like everything they've done up to this point isn't cheating, but at least in my mind to actually have sex with someone else is like the worst thing you could do. So, I hope that its understandable why Alyssa had second thoughts. Question is how long will they last? Thanks again!

Awww.......
Sorry, I know I owe you a bunch of reviews! lol I love that Alyssa and Nick came clean to each other. I am so excited what's coming next - you don't even begin to know. Your story is by far my favorite one besides Tris series Hearts don't lie. =) I'm always happy when I see a new update and I am reading your chapters in an instant. I am just really busy with college right now... I still have some exams coming up and I just had an interview for an intership (which I got! YEAH). But be sure that you will hear more from me again once my exams are over. Until then - keep up the great work! =)

Author's Response: It's ok Franzi! I know what it's like to be busy and I assumed that something came up when I hadn't heard from you in a bit. The faithful readers always come back eventually lol. I am at a pretty exciting part of the story, so I'm hoping I can churn updates out pretty quickly. You just reminded me that I wanted to post this one as series, but I keep forgetting too. I need a good name first though. I was thinking in keeping w/ the obscure Backstreet lyric theme, "Not Like We Predicted" but we'll see.

Date: 07/16/08 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter 39 - I Won't be Home for Christmas

Here I am - as promised! ;) Told you I would read you chapters in an instant.
First off I must say that it was a really cute chapter (except for the last part). I loved how caring Nick was being. Him and Alyssa make a cute couple.
Wow to the detective part. I never saw that one coming. I mean it's probably nothing unusual that Shayla was getting suspious (is that even a word - sorry, it's nearly 2am here) but I never expected her to have the guts to hire a detective. Man, I can smell trouble...
I am really curious to see what is about to happen next... Shayla will find out and all hell will break lose. I hope Sean doesn't get home, too. THAT would be a mess.
Mh, no clue on the Christmas present... Maybe something simple that reminds him of him since he is in Iraq. I bet he would appreciate it.
Okay, that's it for today! Update soon - can't wait to read more! ;)
Keep up the great work!!!

Author's Response:

Yay! Awesome! I'm glad you think that Nick and Lyss make a cute couple. I thought that the PI part was totally something that Shayla would do because she's sneaky like that. I know I haven't really talked about her in a while so this chapter was giving her POV a lil,

With Shayla hiring a PI you can expect the truth to come out soon. It's all a matter of when. I can't tell you if Sean will be home by then or not. You'll just have to keep reading...

For a tiny, very tiny second I felt sorry for Shayla at the end... But the second is over now! lol I loved the chapter. The end with the hard on was really funny! Shayla seems desperate to get Nick back involved with her. But I guess she did it to make Alyssa jealous, too.
I am glad that most of Nick's siblings liked her. I am not too sure about Angel yet. I guess there will be more about this situation in the next chapter? I wanna know what Lyss and Nick bought for each other, too.
I hope to read more soon! But I hope your having an awesome holiday, too. Maybe I get some work done mayself! lol My bachelor thesis is calling me... =/
Btw . I thought about a name for your series. It just popped in my mind and I thought it would kinda fit. But these are your stories so the decision is yours! ;) I thought of "Bittersweet Betrayal".
Keep up the great work Mel! =)

Date: 08/04/08 Title: Chapter 44: Chapter 41 - Giving is Half the Fun

Awwww, what a cute chapter! =) I loved it! I hope Alyssa can prove Angel wrong! I think Lyss really, really loves Nick and I think her present to Nick was just so.... I dunno.... hehe Just an awesome chapter with and really awesome ending!
Thanks for taking the time to write in your little break! I hope you enjoyed your first vacation and will be enjoying your second just as much! =)
But you know I have to say it! ;) I can't wait to read more!!!! =)

Oh and I am really curious what's going to happen with Sean...

Author's Response: I think Alyssa may be able to although the Alyssa/ Angel relationship will prolly carry over into the sequel. I'm glad you liked Alyssa's gift and feel confident in her feelings for Nick. As for Sean... Well, we'll be getting more into him in another two or three chapters. Thanks a loy Franzi!

Date: 08/24/08 Title: Chapter 45: Chapter 42 -Another Auld Lang Syne

It's funny. When I woke up today I thought "Wow, I would really love to read a new chapter of ATOS". So I lof into my email account and saw that you wrote a new chap! =) Made me happy! hehe

It was an awesome chapter even though I really didn't expect that! lol I didn't want Nick to sleep with her and am a little sad that he did. Okay, he didn't get off and didn't finish but still. I wonder if he will be honest to Alyssa and tell her about it.
I hope it doesn't take so long again to read another chap! =) But I am glad that you enjoyed your vacation! =)

Author's Response: Haha lol I read your mind! jk It wasn't the ending that I exactly anticipated either. I needed something a little more to buff up the chapter and BOY did I buff it up in a big way lol. It was a hard scene to write, but you need to keep in mind that Nick is still married and he was more going through with it out of obligation. I don't view it as him "cheating" on Alyssa or anything because Shayla is his wife and its kind of expected. Even Alyssa has said that she can't say anything about that. I think though it needed to happen. As for whether or not he'll tell Lyss I dunno... I'm not sure if he'll owe her an explanation plus there's going to be plenty of drama coming up soon. Thanks for the review!

Date: 08/26/08 Title: Chapter 46: Chapter 43 -Fallen Soldier

Raises hand! I thought it was Sean... hehe But it wasn't.
It was an interesting chapter, I didn't expect anything like that to happen. And to think that Alyssa might want to slow things down with Nick... =( I hope Sean comes back soon so Alyssa can confess and be with Nick.

Thanks for the fast update! Keep it coming! ;)

Author's Response: Ha I can definitely see how at first you would probably think that, but Sean is too easy to kill off. It's too convienent I think. So, Ian was a nice little twist. Not central enough of a character to make a huge difference, but close enough to Alyssa and Sean to really be upset over. All I can say is that Sean may be coming home in the near future...

Wow...

Amazing chapters... You make me wonder if there actually will be a happy end. lol I get where everyone of them are coming from but damn... lol What Nick said was pretty harsh and I didn't expect it but she promised him and he's scared. Don't keep us waiting too long! ;) I will die if you do! lol
Oh and I am still rooting for the happy end! =)

Great work Mel!

Author's Response: Well there are 9 chapters left. A lot can happen in 9 chapters and a lot will. They all have valid points, don't they? Nick was harsh, but he needed to be and you are right he's scared and vulnerable and we know Nick doesn't like showing that side of himself to others. I will try to update soon. We'll see!

Date: 09/17/08 Title: Chapter 50: Chapter 47 - Your Love is a Lie

Hey Mel! =)

I don't hate you - atleast not yet - but I hate cliffhangers! lol
It was an amazing chapter. I was pretty sure Sean would find out about Alyssa's little lie and would react on it but I didn't expect Shayla to push her down the stairs... You better not let the baby die!!!!!! You have to update SOON! ;) Don't spoil my happy ending! hehe
Keep up the good work! =)

Author's Response: I do too, but its just so damn tempting as a writer to use them sometimes lol. I think after the previous chapter we all knew that Sean was going to show up at the party and cause a scene, but yea the Shayla/Alyssa confrontation was definitely a shocker. All I will say is that my idea of a happy ending and your idea may be different, but the ending will be "happy."
