That last chapter was so cute. It had everything I like in this story. Mattie and Belles friendship, cute Adelle moments, Belles positive feelings about her growing relationship with Amanda, and some Belle/Annie(I like her here) and Belle/Irene interaction. So sweet that Belle made Annie a bridesmaid. Their worry about Amanda outfit was really funny. If it was the bit about Irene and the chocolate that had you worried about being OOC I don't think you should as it was too funny that it didn't matter to me whether it was OOC or not.

Aww that was great. Reading it put a huge smile one my face. Aden screaming what he was trying to do like that was so much better than any sweet speech would have been.

It's good that Aden agreed to take the house. I liked Belle wanting to make sure that Aden was 100% okay with taking it and not just doing it for her sake. That was nice of her. Belle throwing his phone was really funny.

I really enjoyed this chapter. Love that you added some humor with Adens card. Belle and Irenes talk was really nice. It was nice to see her being so involved in Belles life. Good to see Belle sticking up for Amanda. Feel so sorry for Aden. But atleast that end with her giving him that charm can give him some hope. Martha and Belles conversation was good as well. We rarely get to see these two interact in fic and in the show so it was a nice surprise. Martha was really wise to and unlike in the show I actually liked her.

This topic is such a pleasure to read. It's good to see other people who find Melody interesting and understand that there is more to her than just some selfish brat. I find Melodys problems to be so much more realistic than some of the other dozen teenagers rebelling storylines HAA as done in the past. I agree with most of the people who have pointed out how badly Miles is handling this situation. He seems more wrapped up in his relationship with Kirsty than in helping Melody. He seriously needs to wake up and take notice of what hapenning in her life. This is really making me dislike Miles. As for the writers I think they are not doing a good enough job with this storyline. I don't get how they could have done such an amazing job handling the Aden storyline yet they handling this one so terribly. Instead of having Miles play a bigger role it's as if they've just handed it over to the teenagers. Another thing thats annoying me about this is the fact they seem hellbent on making Nicole into this saint while completely ruining Melody. I get that Nicole is going to become involved in this storyline because of Melodys obssession with Geoff but somteimes it seems to be coming of as this storyline is more about the troubles it's causing the Geoff/Nicole relationship than about Melodys struggles. I wish we would start getting more scenes of Melody herself dealing with whats going then Nicole groaning about about how frustrated she is with everything(with good reason but still) and how Geoff is still completely oblivious to everything as usual. Alot of people were saying about how she trying to be rebellious is laughable. And that her flirting is cringeworthy and so is her outfits. About this in my opinion I think we are meant to feel that way. You can't expect a girl who just months ago had her first kiss and before that probably never spent time alone with a boy or got to hang out with other kids her age much to suddenly be an expert on flirting and dressing up. I hate storylines where they have an innocent girl rebel and shes suddenly doing it like a pro. It's not realistic at all. I like that they are making her terrible at it. It kinda shows how sheltered she was that she doesn't even know how to act out properly without looking stupid and embrassing herself. My hope for this storyline is that they start focusing more on Melody and her problems and get Miles more involved in her life.

Another great chapter. I can't seem to get enough of Amanda, Belle, and Mattie in this fic. Both the Belle/Mattie and Belle/Amanda scenes were really good. So sweet of Amanda to want to buy them a house. Hope Aden doesn't react too badly to it. Although it might make for some lovely angsty scenes. I'm kinda starting to miss the angst.

I enjoyed everything about this chapter. So happy that Cassie said yes. I loved them anouncing it to everyone. Even better Mattie and Lucas were able to put everything behind them. I'm glad we got that scene between the two of them. So relieved that Jason was found guilty and theres no way for him to come after Belle again. I love that you gave us some happy and cute Melody/Geoff scenes. I rarely see any of that anymore. Thank you for not making her crazy or anything. I'm glad that Geoff is getting a happy ending as well. Can't wait for that next chapter.

I'm glad Belle is okay. It's so understandable that she'd feel guilty about how she wished she wasn't pregnant. Poor Aden. Belle not wanting to see him. Atleast now he knows why. It's good to see him feel sorry for Angelo. I liked Angelo in this last chapter.

The last three chapters have been so good. Belle giving birth was really funny. Especially with all the swearing. Aden is just the sweetest boyfriend getting the all the stuff for the baby set up. It's good to see Belle happy. She certainly deserves all the happiness in the world considering all shes been through in this fic. Cassie and Lucas are so cute together as well as Mattie and Ric. It's good as well to see Mattie doing so well. Hope Cassie says yes. I'm kinda surprised that you didn't get Lucas and Mattie back together seeing as you're such a big fan of that pairing. Although I love things the way they are know with the four of them. Can't wait to find out why Melodys back.

I just had 4 chapters to catch up with. I feel like I can now enjoy Amanda and Belle in the same scene again. I can't express how much I am loving all the Amanda, Belle, and Mattie scenes. They are seriously my favourites. Mattie and Amanda ganging up on Belle about the wedding arrangements are hilarious especially their comments about the lack of progress Belle has made in preparing for the wedding. I'm finding Belle and Amanda's relationship such a pleasure to read now. Amanda keeping all that stuff was so sweet. Belle being relieved to get her mothers approvement(even if it was only about a dress) was so adorable. And Mattie and Belles friendship is still awesome. Theres something so cute about Mattie in this fic. I loved Matties comments about Belle not telling Drew. Hopefully shes going to tell him soon. I can see him being upset about not finding out sooner and I think he will be completely justified if hes not to happy with her after that even though I understand her reasons for not wanting to tell him. Let me just say one more time. Amanda, Belle, and Mattie's interactions in this story is brilliant. Looking forward to more of this three together. They are such a funny little trio. I'm glad Nicole didn't tag along. Aden and Belle just keep getting better and better. I feel like I've run out of ways to explain just how fantastic they are in this fic. There is usually never a time when I don't enjoy them in a scene together fluffy or angsty. You are certainly spoiling us with all the fluff you have been giving us lately. Loved the scene with Annie. Belle has already become so motherly. And I loved that even Aden questioned her about her clothes. The scene with Aden and Roman was really good. I liked that he let Roman know how much he appreciates everything Roman did for him. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I loved Aden trying to find baby names. I read a alot of fics (not HAA)were they do this and it's always my favourite part. And you did it just as well. Glad you decided to dedicate a whole chapter to it. And you were right a whole chapter of fluff was really needed. I love how Aden took charge of the house situation. Also cute, how sure Aden is that it's a girl. It's usually the mother who has a feeling on the gender.

I can't believe that this is coming to an end soon. Atleast it's good to know that you already have another story planned. Hope you don't wait too long to put it up once this is finished. Hopefully Aden is getting released and thats what Irene is shocked about because it's about time that this family got a good surprise. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I love that Mattie needs time to process it. You'd think she was the one whos pregnant. I loved this chapter. All the Mattie/Belle stuff was lovely. I enjoyed Mattie taking it upon herself to make herself the bridesmaid. And going mad with wedding plans. She becoming like another Amanda with her excitement over planning this wedding. So cute. I love that we got to see her tell Mattie. And that you didn't forget her. Hope Mattie works out all her issues with the Perth stuff. The flashback was really good. Loved Belle reassuring him that he should go if wants to and they would be okay. He may be the perfect boyfriend but she has got be the most supportive girlfriend ever. Please update soon.

Loved that last line. So didn't expect that from Aden. Thought he would welcome her holding him. Hes so cute still keeping a picture of her.

Aden isn't OOC in this. Yes he is incredibly sweet and buys the most perfect gifts and says the most perfect things and really close to perfect but the way he says things and the way he acts makes it believable and all the angst and his reaction towards his father and other stuff balances it out. Hes still sarcastic and cheeky (whole three fics) and still likes to shut people out when he doesn't want to deal with stuff(untroubled) so he hasn't changed completely. Hes just growing up and is alot more happy. Thats the way I see it anyway. I loved Annies excitement over the baby. Also how you added how hard it's gonna be for her to keep it a secret because (from the show) you know Annie and secrets don't go well together. I loved Geoff's line about thinking what Belle would do to her to as motivation for Annie not to say anything. So happy Aden and Belle worked everything out. Aden is so wise. I think hes been taking lessons from Roman.

You certainly know how to write fluff. Loved all Belles rantings about Angelo. Shes hilarious when irritated. And Aden sending her the message. Is there anything cuter than that? The message it's self really funny.

Nothing could ever turn me of Belle forever. Shes my all time favourite H&A character. I'm happy to see that there is reason coming for this Amanda stuff. I don't mind seeing them fight (love it actually) it's just that Amanda isn't being her fiesty self anymore. It's like shes scared to have an opinion. Anyway looking forward to that storyline between them. I loving this storyline with Belle doubting herself. It makes so much sense for someone like her to feel like that. I'm glad that she still wants to marry Aden though. And also love how protective she is over the baby. That scene when she thought Aden had implied she could get an abortion was my favourite. It's good that Irene is being there for her. Poor Aden. The end was so sad.

Aden and Belle are so funny and cute in this. Love that there is so much dialogue. Considering how they started of in this fic who would have thought they'd ended up getting along so well. Loved Belles little misinterpretation. And her shaving his face was so sweet. Also him rubbing her back.

Wow. I never thought I'd ever say this about Belle but damn that girl is annoying me in this fic. So far the only times I have liked her is in that first chapter and in chapter 3 with Drew. The way she is treating Amanda is really irritating me. Amanda has done nothing but be supportive and a good mother thoughout all three fics and yet Belle still treats her like a nuisance that she just puts up with because she has to. I know her moods in this fic could be because of her mood swings but thats the thing it doesn't come off as just the mood swings cause thats the way she is always with Amanda since unlucky. Even though she hasn't been mean to Amanda out loud her thoughts and constants groaning and moaning about having talk to Amanda is getting ridiculous. All can think is poor Amanda because it feels like as long as Amanda agrees with her completely about everything than only is she okay with her( still groans about her to herself though even then). I know Irene is supposed to be the 'only mother shes ever had' and all that but she could atleast start appreciating Amanda a little instead of constantly acting like Amanda is this nuisance that she wishes she didn't have to deal with. Belle is certainly acting like an ungrateful little thing now(she always as when it came to Amanda in the other two fics as well but now it's getting to much) she has a mother who rarely questions any of her decisions, supports her all the time, always on her side with Drew. Instead of bitchy about her all the time maybe she could start acting more grateful. Finally got that of my chest. Sorry for the long rant. I have got to stop getting so worked up over fanfic. I hated having to write that as Belle is my all time favourite H&A character but she was seriously getting on nerves. By the way just so you know just because I not liking Belle at the moment that doesn't mean I am not still loving your writing. Now onto Aden who I really liked. Loving how he keeps grinning whenever the baby comes up. He is so cute with Belle. The scene at the end with Irene was good to. But I couldn't really enjoy it seeing as all I could think was oh she gets to have a reaction and you atleast wait a while before snapping at her.

Yay. Oliver gone. Although I have to admit I didn't really hate him all that much. Only that he was in the way of Adelle but him personally not that bad. I guess Belle doesn't have to worry about her secret about her boss anymore since her and Oliver are over anyway. Now Aden is in love with Belle isn't he? Because he is being really convincing with this I just want to be friends with you and I don't want you to not marry Oliver stuff.

Glad that Jason is gone and Belle is safe. I have never been so glad for Geoff before. Annie watching over her, how sweet. I like Angelo in this. Poor Tom. I hope Aden and Tom somehow stay friends when Aden gets out.

It's been too long since I have reviewed this fic. This is seriously one of the best fics going on at the moment. I loved the twist and didn't see that coming at all. Your writing is amazing. I can't tell you how many times I have read a scene in this and thought too myself how much I wish it had actually happened like this was on the show. Can't wait for the next chapter. The preview for it sounds really good.

You started this one so fast. You really know how to keep your readers happy don't you? I loved that first chapter. Everything was perfect. I couldn't believe that they are actually engaged. And having a baby. Their all grown up. Can't wait to find out what you have in store for them this time around. Chapter 2 was okay. Love Roman. He just so understanding and supportive.Maybe I am reading too much into it but that small part about Roman being corncerned about how Belle is going to cope with being a mother because of the kind of person she is and Aden saying he as thought of that as well is kind of worrying me a little. I love how Aden is always smiling when talking about Belle and the baby.

The last few chapters of this story have once again been amazing. Then again when isn't this story amazing. That trip was the most perfect gift ever. Aden is as close to perfect as someone can get. I loved Belles reluctance to go. I can see her being worried about him spending all of his money. A car and a trip to so many different countries, Aden is definetely making the most of that fun money. Lucky Belle. Atleast I wasn't dreading this story being over as I knew that you had another sequel coming up. I don't know what I am going to do when that one finishes though.

I can't believe the amount of chapters I've missed of this story. I only realised you started updating again today. I am loving all the Geoff and Belle scenes. I love the way you are writing him. I didn't even hate him all that much when he had a go at Belle about being pregnant. That scene with them both running for the bathroom was so good, especially Irene ignoring them. It just made them seem like a real family. And his excitement about her helping him get an A on his homework was really funny. Poor Adelle. Just when you think things can't get any worse for them. It was so sad how distraught Belle was about Aden not being there. Hopefully he'll get released soon. I loved that scene with that guy giving him a hard time, I felt so sad and scared for him. I like them writing to each other. Mattie losing her babies was heartbreaking. I'm glad Cassie was trying to be there for her. It's good that she is finally getting help. I'd hate for anything worse to happen to her at the moment. I'm glad Jess is gone. I never really took to her. Lucas and Cassie, never could have saw that coming. Looking forward to see where you're going with that. I just have to point this out. I am so happy to be reading a fic that is just focusing on the older teens and you haven't suddenly felt the need to make Nicole or anyone just suddenly appear in your fic just because of the way it's going on the show. And as for Geoff I don't mind him being here (really like him here actually)because he is not suddenly given a whole storyline but just there for Belle to interact with from time to time. I happy that you are still sticking with the characters you started with and that your new additions are completely new characters or past characters. Looking forward to more of this story. Even though it's gone on for so long I don't want it to end soon. I'm sure you'll be able to find new ways to torture your characters. You're so good at it.
