You go Edward!

I'm so glad that Edward "talked" to Ben. He was extremely harsh regardless of being protective or not. I'm ridiculously happy that she won't be his nanny, but rather his live in girlfriend. It would definitely be awkward his paying her to be his nanny and then have her as his girlfriend too. Carlisle's fishing expedition for info was funny, but Edward's answers were too. I can't wait to see how everyone responds to the news, especially Carlisle since he told Edward to stay away from Bella. I think Esme will be ok once the initial shock wears off. She just wants them both to be happy. Have a great week.

Interesting to see Edward's view of the conversation with Ben. Glad to see that he and Bella are both standing up for their relationship. Cannot wait to hear about their thanksgiving holiday.

I'm glad the conversation between Edward and Ben went smoother than I expected. They do need all the support they can roundup when they go public.
Still anxious about Rosalie's reaction, but hoping for the best.

i am loving this fic...both POVS...
Date: 08 Mar 2014 10:39 PM Title: Chapter 13
This view of Edward's side of things was enough to cause a small sigh of relief on my part. It's good to start sharing their relationship with friends and, hopefully soon, family! It makes semse to me at least, to strengthen their bonds, before facing the expected uproar from the family! The more solid their foundation, in case of oppostion, the better.
Date: 08 Mar 2014 10:21 PM Title: Chapter 13
I am glad that Edward did not back down on Ben. Ben needed his ass whooped. I know he is protective of Bellamy but he did not have to attack her.
Date: 08 Mar 2014 8:55 PM Title: Chapter 13
She can't be his live in girlfriend when nobody actually knows they are in a 'relationship'.
Wonder how Edward would react if it was Rosalie who had given up her home and her job for a man who refused even to acknowledge her? Maybe it is time for Charlie to find out about Bella's situation?
[Report This]Date: 07 Mar 2014 8:00 PM Title: Chapter 12
I feel like Edward isn't moving fast enough for Bella to be secure in their relationship, and any wave could rock the boat enough to make it capsize.

I'm glad Edward put Heidi in her place, just hope she doesn't decide to cause trouble for him in the future.
Also I'm glad he had decided to step up his game. Bella is so worth it. He needs to go public with his relationship with her... soon.
Date: 03 Mar 2014 9:46 AM Title: Chapter 12
I am beginning to wonder if he really has any any intention of having a relationship with Bella, they certainly don't have one at the moment - a relationship requires two people to participate and at the moment all that's happening is that Edward is using Bella as and when he wants to - she certainly isn't his girlfriend. If he had any feelings for her whatsoever he would not be using her like this, he would he waited until he was ready and been open about everything.

I can understand his reluctance. The kids are a big part of that. I can see Rose going off the deep end.
Great ideas fro presents from Garrett.

Yea Rose is going to be an issue, but she is at that age. oooh Carlisle warning E off. Wonder how long that will last.

Great start. Glad to see Tanya is not a bad mom or skank for a change.

[Report This]Date: 10 Feb 2014 3:49 AM Title: Chapter 9
Instead of Edward making plans as to how he is gonna make their relationship work, shouldn't it be both of them planning together as to how to proceed?
Whatever Edward feels he needs to work through, he should do it quickly before he does lose Bella. She doesn't need to be made to feel she is his dirty little secret.
Date: 09 Feb 2014 10:05 PM Title: Chapter 9
"I need to make plans for how we will work this out?" Shouldn't that be WE need to make plans? Or is Edward the only person in this "relationship"?

What does Edward have to work on?? What has he been doing all this time??? He confuses me. Bless Bella's heart.
Date: 08 Feb 2014 11:27 PM Title: Chapter 9
I guess they don't have that strong sexual pull that new lovers have????? It just surprises me that the connection isn't there.
Date: 08 Feb 2014 8:55 PM Title: Chapter 9
Now knowing what Edward is thinking, I'm getting a better feel for where this is going! It's sad that Bella feels everyone leaves her, except Angela and Ben. It's going to be a bit shocking when these two go public. I'm still not sure that Edward should have told Garrett.

I'm glad Edward seems aware of time running out on him! I believe the saying is, fish or cut bait? If he's all ready thinking of Bella as his wife, he should have no problem telling the kids and his other family and co-workers about him and Bella!
[Report This]Date: 02 Feb 2014 8:38 PM Title: Chapter 8
I love this storyline, the delicate balance you leave us with is amazing. Not sure if we just want to hug Bella to us and protect her, or shake her to awaken her and pish her to stand up for herself with Edward versus the desire to shake the daylights out of Edward. I don't think he truly grasps the heartache he is bringing this wonderful soul, who so willingly surrendered her heart to him.
Awesome, story!

I love that Bella matters enough to Edward for him to want to try so hard for her. Your situation is very realistic. Most fathers hopefully would put their children's wants and needs first and foremost. Wonderful work!

All the secrecy almost makes it feel as though they are having an affair. That cannot be a good feeling for Bella...

He is amazing and in love with her even if he doesnt know it yet
Date: 30 Jan 2014 4:56 AM Title: Chapter 7
Such a nice, sweet side to Edward. I have noticed that Edward's story is more about sharing his thoughts on events rather than sharing new events and moving the storyline forward. This is not bad, I was just curious if it was intentional to have Bella's version drive the storyline?
Author's Response:
It wasn't necessarily intended, but in the beginning, I wrote Bella's POV, then decided to write Edward's so especially in the beginning, the way I made his more than a rehash was to inject more of his thoughts, as I get further along, they level out more. It's also because I wasn't keeping all of the dialogue so at times he was paraphrasing so it felt different, you will definitely see more of her thoughts in the later chapters and it will even out more as I'm writing them at the same time. Also, with all the kids, she has more events in her day. Thank you for the review and I hope you enjoy what's coming up!

Bravo, Edward! Sex isn't everything! Comfort - true comfort - is immeasurable! I have to say again how much I love the fact that your story is written from both perspectives. It makes the mountains recognizable as mole hills from the other person's point of view and vice versa. Your characters are deep and multi dimensional, and the things they are confronted with more than realistic. I just keep wishing I was as organized as Bella! Thank you for so e wonderful writing!

Lovely! Familial, yet hot and erotically promising. If I were Edward, I would have a hard time keeping this relationship to myself! They balance each other out well, I think. When it gets out, the reactions to their relationship should be interesting. I can see Rosalie livid, Jasper and Alice thrilled to bits, Esme concerned and Carlisle ready to strangle his brother. I look forward to your next updates. Good luck with your move!

I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this story from both Edward and Bella's POV. Once I see the alert that you've posted a new chapter I have to fight my impulse to open it immediately, especially at work. I don't think my boss wants to pay me to read, although that would be awesome! I'm really looking forward to their trip to the beach.
