"One last note: the family court hearing ended up being waaaay too long for one chapter, so it's broken up into two."
Gaaah, you just shouldn't have told me. Now I'm all jonesing and contemplating coming over to break into your house to steal your computer. You better post it before I find out where you life! ;) Also, there is no such things as a 'too long of a chapter' I say!
I can't believe that bitch Renee showed up! And that's she's still defending Charlie! I'm surprised she didn't experience abuse by him given his nature. How does she explain having a pregnant daughter and NOT NOTICING IT! How is Charlie going to explain who the father is and then not doing anything about it? Even if Bella had actually walzted into the room in her birthday suit and propositioned him she was still a frickin' minor and that's statutory rape!
Author's Response:
Too funny! (I live in NE btw ;-) ) No, Renee didn't get abused by Charlie, physically anyway, though I can't imagine he was very nice to her. Edward will be able to explain what was going on in their heads in the next chapter. Thanks so much, sweets!

great chapter

The intensity just keeps building ... Wow!
Date: 27 Jun 2012 2:21 AM Title: Chapter 38
Wow. I can't believe Renee showed up. I am so happy the Bella saved the voicemails. Great chapter. I can feel Bella's terror.
Author's Response:
Thanks! Yeah, Edward will be able to explain Renee in the next chapter.
Date: 27 Jun 2012 2:10 AM Title: Chapter 38
That was intense... I wonder what thoughts were going through the judges mind, will we hear from Edward about that? I'm sure Renee is going to continue to get herself into trouble, but I can't wait to see if Charlie actually talks. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response:
Yes, we will hear from Edward (And Alice and Jasper) in the next chapter. Thanks for the review!
Date: 27 Jun 2012 1:29 AM Title: Chapter 38
What a wonderful chapter! Nervous as to why Renee is there and very worried about Charlie during the afternoon. I know it is a lot to ask, but write fast, please. Thank you
Author's Response:
Hope the second half was out fast enough for you ;-) If you want a spoiler *cough*charliebribedrenee*cough* Thanks for the review!
Date: 27 Jun 2012 12:38 AM Title: Chapter 38
Strangely looking forward to what bulls**t Charlie has to say and then what the judge says to him! (I am obviously not thinking of anything but a positive outcome for Bella)
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! You know they had to have a positive outcome - I like to drag characters through hell, but I don't LEAVE them there.
Date: 25 Jun 2012 7:22 AM Title: Chapter 37
i can't wait for the trail! And I totally 100% agree with the lack of Holidayness. I'm not a fan of Holiday scenes. They are kinda boring and just seem to be time wasters that take away from the regular story/plot that you are itching to get to so I totally support your choice!
I can't believe I'm done already! I've done nothing but binge on your story the last two days! Sorry I haven't been better at reviewing but I'm loving the story! Can't wait for the next update. :)
Author's Response:
You've been an AMAZING reviewer! I can't believe the thought you put into your responses, even when you were questioning things (lol!) Thank you so much!
Date: 24 Jun 2012 4:07 PM Title: Chapter 29
I absolutely LOVE the Last Unicorn! It was one of my favorite books/movies as a kid! Awesome that you included it here. :)
Date: 24 Jun 2012 3:18 PM Title: Chapter 28
Glad Bella is finally bouncing back. And it sucks how often court cases can be pushed back. So annoying.
Ugh...yeah, not a fan of the baby. Didn't like it in the original Twilight books or other fanfics either. :(
Date: 24 Jun 2012 8:53 AM Title: Chapter 18
He might not be a large part of this story but I really hope by the end of this his stupid fucking face realizes what he's let Bella go through all these years! >:( Ignoring abuse is just about as bad as causing the abuse in my eyes.
Date: 24 Jun 2012 7:02 AM Title: Chapter 16
I disagree that they let her go. No, they can't keep her against her will but they should have made her wait until everyone got back. And called the others as soon as they knew Bella was planning on running. They also should have taken her old cell phone so she didn't have to have Charlie harrass her.
Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that the 'little one' Charlie threatened to hurt is Bellas son. I'd say maybe a brother but with how possessive Charlie is I can't imagine him having a kid he had no control of.
Date: 24 Jun 2012 4:56 AM Title: Chapter 15
Hah! I knew eveyone would cheat and get her gifts! :) I love the necklace, so pretty. I really hope she doesn't listen to Charlies message and go back to him out of fear. Or that she tries to marry Jacob to save the Cullens or something stupid. Listen to them Bella!
Date: 24 Jun 2012 1:37 AM Title: Chapter 12
ZOMG!!! Sooo fucking sweet! This was probably the longest, drawn out lemon I've ever read and it was absolutely perfect! And they didn't even do that much! You paced it perfectly for what she needed in this situation. I loved hearing Edwards thoughts as it happened as well. :)
I'll try to be better about reviewing as I read. I realized I only seem to review if I have a question. It seems I'm to addicted to the story and want to fly to the next chapter as fast as possible and that's not fair to you. I'll try to be more mindful of that. <3
Date: 23 Jun 2012 5:37 PM Title: Chapter 11
Why don't they just tell her that Charlie can't physically harm them? They're all cool with sharing their powers, strength and speed with her yet everytime she's expressed her fear of them being hurt they all just chuckle and keep their mouths shut. That is something that would actually be helpful to share with her and would probably make it more likely that she'll feel comfortable staying as she wont thing she's putting them in danger.
Date: 23 Jun 2012 1:28 PM Title: Chapter 4
Wait...I'm confused. Why didn't Emmett and Rose tell Carlisle that they knew Charlie was the one hurting her? That they had it confirmed by Jacob? That they even talked to him about it at all?
And why isn't Alice shocked by the fact Bella is being hurt? She didn't have any knowledge about it before this.

Loving your story. So different. So well written!

Thanks for the update. I hope that everything works out alright.
Author's Response:
Thanks! What I always like to say is that I'll gladly drag my characters through hell, but I do promise a happy ending. :)
Date: 17 Jun 2012 9:25 PM Title: Chapter 37
Well. I am glad that they finally came home. I know that she is scared becuase being exposed to that monster for long I would not want to be in the same city as him. I am glad that she is able to eat somewhat properly and doesn't have to suffer too much with the pregnancy. Edward is just so sweet with her and so is Carlisle and Esme. I cannot wait until this trial gets underway. If you need any help with any legal terminology, please ask as I am a Litigation Paralegal for 30 years. THANKS FOR THE AWESOME WRITING. Sher
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review. :) AND for the offer of assistance with legal writing! I grew up in the system so I'm very familiar with family court, but once we get to the criminal trial I'm going to be a fish out of water.

Thanks for the review!
Date: 07 Jun 2012 2:55 AM Title: Chapter 36
Okay, WOW. I am really glad that you aren't going to make the pregnancy like it was in BD. I love this story. I like a friendly Rose, she's the best. I hope that Bella gets through the family court thing and then the criminal one and that she gets the man who raped her...I would let Edward do it though...lol! Have I mentioned that I love this story? Great job.
Author's Response:
Glad you're happy that the pregnancy will be different. :) I wasn't a fan of the way it was handled in BD, so now I get to do it my way, lol! HelenahJay wrote a story called "That Pain to Miss" with a wonderful hard-but-loving Rosalie, and she completely won me over. I can't write Rose as just a b*tch anymore! So glad other people are enjoying her, too. :) Thanks again for such a sweet review!
Date: 05 Jun 2012 11:25 PM Title: Chapter 24
Well I hope Edward isn't too pissed that she ran off or that she is reading Carlisle's diaries. I really hope that Heidi can put a stop to Charlies nonsense either that or let Jasper and Emmett eat him...LOL! Great job. Can't wait for the next update...
Author's Response:
Thanks once again for a sweet review! Lol @ letting Jasper and Emmett eat Charlie! IDK what's going to happen to Charlie yet, but Bella's attacker is def. going to die. :)
Date: 05 Jun 2012 6:23 AM Title: Chapter 24
Wonderful story! Has had me in its grip from the first chapter. Hope you update again soon. Thank you - Cheri
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! I will keep this updated from now on! :)
Date: 05 Jun 2012 2:17 AM Title: Chapter 16
I find that I am addicted to this story. Although I have to say I am not very fond of Alice in this one. I am finding her to be extremely self absorbed and I am surprised to see someone write her like that. I have read stories before where Charlie abuses Bella, but never where Renee was indifferent. Like I said I am truly enjoying this. I am curious as to who Bella thinks she has to save, but I hope that Carlisle lets the others destroy him soon. Along with the rest of her torturors.
However, I am so tired that I cannot read another line. I will begin again tomorrow.
Author's Response:
Thanks for such a sweet review! Yeah, I understand your thoughts about Alice. Plenty of the characters in this story, including Bella and Edward, do things that readers could disapprove of...that was one of my intentions when writing, to create imperfect, though well-meaning, characters. Whether I'm successful or not is up to the readers. Thanks again. :)

great chapter, surprised we haven't heard from charlie yet. But i am sure he is there trying to figure out what is going on, maybe he thinks edward is a pink elephant you know that old fable of drunks seeing poink elephants. eagerly awaiting your next update
Date: 10 Apr 2011 3:32 PM Title: Chapter 6
all in good time. she is finally safe for the moment. she is learning that others out there have been through what she has and they truly have compassion and want to help. they are not afraid of charlie and can't understand why noone has stopped him before this. renee you truly can not call yourself a mother. some people should not be allowed to raise children that is fer sure. parents are suppose to love and nuture not harm and scare. I am glad bella is engaging with the cullens and letting them show her compassion. love it
Date: 10 Apr 2011 3:06 PM Title: Chapter 6
She is so frighten... it's sad. Poor thing doesn't trust even a little affection from our dear Esme. I must admit I'm surprised that Alice is keeping such a low profile.
I look forward the crap hitting the fan when she wakes up, her missing school, Charlie looking for her... etc.
Date: 10 Apr 2011 2:10 PM Title: Chapter 6
That was so wonderful. There were so many lines that were almost poetic. I am in awe of your writing. I really hope she stays with them this time... in fact.. they could all just move the hell away from there, and I would be completely happy...
Thank you so much for the remarkable chapter. VERY WELL DONE.

This story rocks my socks. OMG. Just found it and I cannot stop reading....and I read the chapters over and over. Intense and tender and postively wonderful! I love your reinvention of the characters!
Author's Response:
Aww, you're making me blush! Reviews like this really make my day! Psst, I usually don't do this because it cuts down on reviews, but yours was so great that I'll tell you a little secret. I have 30 chapters up at ff.net. I will warn you though, if you head over there, that there's angst in the future for these guys. I do promise a happy ending, though!
Date: 03 Apr 2011 5:42 PM Title: Chapter 5
wow what a hell of a chapter. man charlie you are a prick. you scare me. is o feel for bella. i wonder why she just doesn't run. you would think he would be happy to get rid of her. he always says she is a pain for him and inconvinces him. so if she disapperaed she wouldn't be under him. thank god edward put him in his place but not sure if it will truly help. something tells me he isn't going to take that lying down. bella is his property even though he doesn't want a daughter he doesn't want anyone else to have her.
looking forward to the next chapter
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! You're absolutely right - to Charlie Bella is just property, not a person. and you don't just give away property. We haven't seen the last of him, though we're gonna let Bella relax for a little while now. ;-)
Date: 03 Apr 2011 5:14 PM Title: Chapter 5
wow, so glad Edward went but i do understand Carlise side . Poor Bella maybe she can feel safe, Charlie got off easy
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! So glad you can understand both Edward's and Carlisle's sides of things. That kind of thinking will help later when the angst sets in. For now, we'll let Bella have some peace. I think she deserves it.

That was an excellent chapter... Daddy C being all wonderful, Bella being all scared and confused. Charlie being an a##! Edward saving the day and giving her just a hint that he is different. All hell is going to break loose over this. I CAN'T wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! Daddy C...I like it! Do you really wanna know what happens next? Esme makes popcorn! (no, really, I'm serious)

okay this was a fantastic chapter Carlisle is absolutly wonderful here. Edward is wonderful too. I am having a hard time with Charlie being the bad guy though. He is my favorite character in the books and movie. The story is so good tho really like reading it.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! You know, I chatted a little with another author, Newmoonaholic from ff.net, who's also writing an evil-Charlie story. (Hers is called THe Mocking Moon and it's AMAZING!) It sounds crazy, but we both agreed that we actually adore the character of Charlie. My absolute favorite scene in the Eclipse movie is when he steps between an angry Jacob and Edward and tells them to take it down a notch. I make everyone in the house shut up for that scene when we watch it! IDK why there are so many evil-Charlie stories floating around since he's really a sweet character. I guess the setup is just really easy.
I just finished reading an evil-Carlisle story the other day. Now THERE was a mind-trip!

7 vampires and they conveniently miss her father strapping her to his bed and then miss however Bella ended up in the forest.
Not the smartest crayons in the box right there, for people who suspect abuse.
Please don't insult their intelligence as vampires and have them make such stupid mistakes in the rest of the story :)
And all this talk about "ahh, we can't help her unless she asks for it... they are vampires for crying out loud. Especially Rosalie shouldn't be to bothered by Charlie having an unfortunate accident, considering her past and all.
Just saying...
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! No worries, I'm not offended. Charlie won't be having any "accidents" though - sorry! His ass is being hauled to prison, where it belongs. But not for a while yet.
And the whole free choice/decision thing is a central part of this story in so many ways. I understand if that makes you not want to read on - I know I already have a lot of frustrated readers elsewhere because of the choices Bella and Edward make later on. But I do promise a happy ending...eventually. :-)
Date: 27 Mar 2011 11:40 PM Title: Chapter 4
I like the amount of personal detail you are putting into this, as well as the fact that your Rosalie is actually very much in character in your scenario. Now that Esme is getting more personally involved, tell me she's going to go Mama Vamp on Charlie's worthless hide? I'd love to see the jerk get beat up by a woman. Fankly, the only thing I don't l;ike about this is how long I had to wait for an update! Happy writing!
Author's Response:
Aw, such a great review! I'll try to be better about updating more frequently, I promise! Esme going Mama Vamp would just be awesome...I'd pay good money to see that. Hasn't happened yet in the story, though the idea definitely has merit. Hmm.. So glad you like this Rosalie. I always like her best when she isn't a total bitch, but she's not just another Alice either.

Hi there!! I started read it now and is so good, I was freaking out, because Í don´t know how bad Charlie will be, and when he caught her in bed, I was jumping in my chair lol I really loved it and hope you can update soon!?!?
thanks for writen and sorry my English
xoxo
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! No worries about your English. It's better than my second language, I'm sure! Charlie's gonna be pretty bad in this story, but there's only one actually violent scene. Hope that helps!

wow i am a little shocked by jacob reaction. he knows her father is beating her but yet he stands by the sidelines. the cullens are trying to get to the bottom of what is going on but again seems bella hasn't had anyone in her corner nor anyone she can trust and the person who she is suppose to trust and love her hurts her who would she turn too. man rough road for bella. where do you turn to. charlie needs help and i am hoping someone comes forward. but hey going on for years and noone has suspected or said anything. seems that would make them all liable and foolish. so of course noone would want to say what they see or have concerns about. they should feel just as guilty for not standing up for a child who has noone to have a voice for her.jacob should be happy finally his friend has someone finally to take a stand for her

Whoa, what a great and long review! I gotta say, if you're upset by Jacob's reaction in this little snippet, just wait till we see him again. I've tried hard not to portray him as an actual villain, but as a bystander who does nothing and whose culpability is certainly debatable.
Trust is going to be a huge thing for Bella as we move forward. Not just trust that the Cullens won't hurt her, but trust that they'll want her around. Just a warning that she DOES end up returning to Charlie, which I've already had very vocal complaints about! But the psychology behind abuse is so twisted, and I wanted to make it as real as possible. Hope this gives some insight! Best!

Thanks for the review! Bella gets some nice quiet time with the Cullens, but after that there's gonna be more Charlie trouble!

The Black's are pathetic! THey know the abuse is happening and doing nothing. The Cullen's should snap Charlie's neck. Problem solved. I certainly hope this doesn't drag out. Stories about abuse always seem to be drawn out for too long.

Thanks for the review! If you didn't like Jake in this little snippet, you're really not gonna like him the next time he shows up!
I will warn you that this is, indeed, a very long story. Up to 200k words and not finished yet. Just warning you in case it isn't your cuppa tea. I won't be offended if you stop reading; I do it all the time.
