Title: A Twist of Fate
Ratings/Warnings: No warnings
Beta: loracj2. Much thanks to her as always. She had a very good and valid suggestion that could have made this a better chapter. However, I have my limitations and I just couldn’t make it work. Perhaps, if I ever got any sleep....but I digress. Anyway, through no fault of her own, you are stuck with

Yeah an update! I'm glad to hear some from Ryan even if it's clearly not good news! The different point of view were interesting and I liked it!
I enjoy the spoilers for the next chapters except the evil cliffhanter. 'Fade to black'?! NO!!!! You cannot do such a thing to us (except if you post the chapter 19 the day after you post the chapter 18 and that would be so cool...). It would be incredibly cruel and we all know how nice you are...
*puppy eyes*
Please update soon!!
Thanks for this great update!

I'm glad you liked it. I'm going to try and do better. If only my daughter started sleeping more as she got older instead of less, I would have more time to write. And there's the fact that my house is in some serious need of spring cleaning. But still, writing is ever so much more fun than cleaning.

And yes, I'm afraid next chapter will end with an evil cliffhanger, but not necessarily the one you might think.

[brassebouillon]

I'm fine with the evil cliffhanger but please you've got to update soon...
Spring cleaning and sleep are so overrated! Be fashion! Update Twist of fate!

[anne35]

I'll try. I've been plotting it all out the past couple of days. It just depends on everyone's sleep habits. And we'll just see how fine you are with cliffhangers after you read the next chapter.

[anne35]

Thanks so much. I hope I can make you happy a lot more. I really miss writing, but I miss sleep too. Sooner or later Itty Bitty has got to start sleeping through the night, right?

As for the final showdown...it's one thing that I'm truly worried about. It has been such a long time in coming, I don't want it to be a let down. Plus, I'm not sure what I want to happen to Art or when (as far as which chapter)I want it to happen to him. The man needs to get just what he deserves, but what should that be? Decisions....decisions.

Love the update even if you did an evil cliffhanger/teaser at the end. : ) ❤❤❤

[anne35]

Thanks. It was teeny bit evil wasn't it?

p.s. Itty Bitty wore her sweater the other day and got compliments galore. She looked very pretty in the bright colors. I like the little girl pink, but she has so much of that. It was nice to see her in something a bit different. Of course, everyone knew that I didn't knit it.

I like to use bright colors or even black for baby stuff. Babies look so cute in non-pastel colors. You'll have to do a pic sometime. My new niece or nephew will be here soon- the repeat c-section is scheduled for the end of this month and everyone will find out the sex then.

[anne35]

Congrats on soon getting a new niece or nephew. Being an auntie is so much fun.

I'm with you. I prefer the non-traditional colors, but it's next to impossible to find anything for her that isn't pink or lavender.

I tried to take a picture, but she isn't one for sitting still. Since she's mastered the army-crawl she doesn't stay in any one place for over five seconds.

You? Are an evil, evil person! Yes, you are!

Loved it, but please, give us more!

[anne35]

Evil? Who me? For the life of me I don't know what you mean.

I was trying to be nice. I always enjoyed the teasers at the end of the show. I'm sorry if you didn't like it.

Why don't you think happy thoughts instead? For example, you're assuming that it's Art with the gun. Let's all pretend that it's the Cohens+1 taking target practice at Dear Old Art. See, that's much more pleasant, isn't it?

[helen_c]

Oh, I did like it. :) It's just that it was eeeeeeeeeeevil.

Hm, yes, it may be Ryan pointing the gun at Art...
Yes, that works so much better this way.

[anne35]

You just keep on believing that. Oh and by the way, you haven't seen my evil side until you read next chapter. *rubs hands together in cartoon villain manner*

[jassylou]

There's a song about you Girl!!! It's called "Devil WOMAN"” and "YOU" are.LOL

WTF!!..Our little woobie a fever....Art is looming.Then to top it all off!

(An unidentified hand is wrapped around the barrel. It’s finger resting on the trigger.)
AND...(Fade to black.)
OMG! What are you trying to do to us?. Grrrrr! *shakes fist"

Ignoring all of my rant.It's a great read Anne update soon please but no more cliffhangers ...Right?.(My heart won't stand it.Give him SOME HAPPINESS soon.*nods*:) hugs

LOL Woobie has a fever Art is "looming" and "YOU" leave us with a cliffhanger!

[anne35]

I've never been called "Devil Woman" before. How exciting!

Now you and the rest of the flist are assuming that the hand around the gun is a bad thing. Maybe, it's from a character we haven't met yet. Perhaps, it's old Mrs. Becket from down the road, who has a penchant for shooting squirrels and groundhogs who happen across her backyard(assuming Newport lets wildlife in their community). That's believable, isn't it?

Okay, probably not.

I'm glad you liked the chapter. I'm afraid I have to tell you that the odds of me not ending next chapter with a cliffhanger are not in your favor. On the upside, I cross my heart that our woobie will get a happy ending. So remember, I have promised countless times not to kill him and I will stick to that promise.

Thanks again for reading and commenting.
