Just wait until you read chapter 5, lol!

Thanks for reading and taking the time to review!

Thank you for reviewing!  I hear ya...I didn't like non cannon for a while either, but there are some really good ones out there.  I have another story with Jasper, that's pretty generic, but a lot of people seemed to like it.  The Bella and Jasper story that caught my attention was from IdreamofEddy on fanfiction but she just recently pulled her stories.  Anyway, if you are willing to venture out there are some really good plot filled non cannon out there.  I'm glad you enjoyed the story...

Thanks, hope you like how I play her out!  Thanks for reviewing!

Really!!  Where did you think I was going I wonder.  Did you think Peter would succeed in keeping them apart or that Jasper would stay in lock down mode?  Anyway, glad you liked how it turned out.  Bella has just as much power in their relationship as Jasper, even if she is still a fragile human.  Thanks so much for reviewing!

Thank you! :)

*******************************
Edward's POV
"Yea?" I grab my brand fucking new cell phone off the hotel nightstand. The fucker woke me up, this better be important.
"Ed, you awake?" Em's voice comes down the line.
"I am now fucktard." I grumble looking at the 3:30 am flashing on the clock.
"Dude Bella and Rose are wasted, I mean drunk off their asses. I had to carry them out of the bar." He laughs.
"What the fuck Em?" I'm not sure if I'm mad that he called me about drinking women, or that he let them get drunk.
"So we go to Bella's bio Mom's nudist commune cult place, and I mean her Mom greats us butt ass naked. Then we meet this guy with a monster cock, wearing a leather loin cloth. All these people were chanting and dancing naked. It was wild. They tried to get us to get naked and we declined. Well any fucking way..."I interrupt his ass.
"You fucking let them stay there? What the fuck Emmett, you should have loaded them back into the fucking car, and gone back to fucking Seattle!" I yell.

Thank you so much for your review! I really appreciate you taking the time to read my story! I update every Friday and post teasers on Mondays. In fact, there is delicious little teaser, along with a Pic Tease, up on the Parachute Blog as we speak.

I have taken to calling you, my readers, "Verucas". A good number of you are so demanding and impatient, even though I update every week! It makes me feel so damned loved and I give you this moniker in adoration! You truly give me chills and warm my heart at the same time with every review you leave me! As you can tell from this message, I respond to every single review that is left for me because you guys rock my socks!

Parachute's 1000th reviewer On FFnet was given the option to choose the subject of one of the outtakes and she deferred the choice to my judgement, so I will continue to listen to ideas and then maybe post a poll to see what you guys as a whole would like to see. The 500th reviewers on Twilighted and here will also be extended the same deal, since I want no one to feel left out!

Oh, and one more thing! An awesome Veruca named Phoebe started Parachute a thread on the Twilighted Forum! The link is up on the blog if you need it! In addition, thanks to many of you, Parachute was named as FanFic Addicts Fic of the Month! Super-freaking-yay!

I love you guys something fierce and I hope this next chapter lives up to your expectations of the first Cullen meeting!

Esme's gaze went back and forth between Bella and Jack. She could clearly see the love that wound between the two of them and a million questions started to swirl around her.

"How?" she asked, as tears started to trickle from her verdant eyes. "What happened? How did you find him? How long have you known we were his family?"  Both she and Carlisle looked at Bella expectantly.

"It's very long story," Bella chuckled, humorlessly. "Let me start at the beginning."

Bella started to tell the Cullen her tale, starting with finding Jack in the alley and taking him to the police station. She didn't get very far. They were interrupted with the sound of the front door opening and a loud voice calling out of the foyer.

"Mom! We're here!"

Bella felt something tighten in her stomach as she prepared to come face to face with Jack's father. Her nerves were at an all-time high and she briefly wondered if Dr. Cullen could prescribe her something to help prevent an ulcer from forming.

"I could have left him at that police station and let the damn state take care of it, but I didn't. I stood up and chose to do it. I had to make difficult decisions on a daily basis. Things that I shouldn't have had to worry about, but I did. Because I loved him. For the past five goddamned years, I've loved him and I've made sure that he was fed and clothed and taken care of. I made sure that he had to best education that I could afford and that he knew that he was loved. I've bled, sweat and cried over this child. So screw you, Mr. Cullen, and the horse you rode in on," she seethed in fury.    

Thank you so much for your review! Just in case you're unaware, the story updates every Friday and I post teasers on Mondays. The latest teases are up on the Parachute Blog as we speak!

As Bella yawned and stretched, her hand hit something soft and feathery. She opened her eyes and saw her fingers resting on auburn hair. Warm green eyes smiled happily at her. She sat up quickly and glanced around the room before turning back to the person in her bed.

"What are you doing?" she asked, slightly confused at his presence.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Cullen," a beautiful brunette with ice blue eyes simpered, as she stood from her seat behind a large desk. "I was told you wouldn't be in the office for a few weeks." 

Bella quirked an eyebrow at the girl's blatant flirtatiousness. She looked over at Edward and noticed that his posture immediately straightened and his voice took on a cooler tone.

"Gianna," he nodded to the woman. "I'm only stopping by to grab a few things and to show my family around a little bit."
Bella's eyes cut to his face, surprised to have herself included in that statement. He smiled gently at her before leading her and Jack towards the large corner office.

"Family?" Gianna asked, confused. She didn't spare Bella a second glance, but her jaw dropped as soon as she got a good look at Jack. "Oh my God," she whispered and sat down quickly. As soon as Edward's door closed behind them, she picked up her phone and dialed.

"Jane? You are not going to believe who just walked in here!"    

Thank you so much for your review! The Monday teases are up on the Blog (kitsushel.blogspot.com) as we speak, so check them out if you'd like!

Esme's eyes turned hard and her lips formed a frown.

"Well, then, I guess there's nothing left to say, is there?" She said in a cold voice.

"Esme, please. I'm not trying to hurt you," Bella replied softly. She had expected this reaction, but it still stung.

"It's a little too late for that now, Bella." Esme stood from her spot behind her desk and silently left the room.

Thank you so much for reviewing! The Monday teasers are up on the Blog now. (kitsushel.blogspot.com) One word for you: Charlie!

Tanya sighed. "What happened after we left last night?" 

Emmett's lips quirked, trying to fight a smile. "Mom sucker punched Victoria when she started running her mouth again."

"Esme!" Bella gasped and glanced at Esme, who looked proud of herself. 

"What? She deserved it. I only regret not doing it sooner."

Bella shook her head and tried to hide her giddy smile at the thought of Victoria spread out on the ballroom floor.

"Are you bored, too, Mom?"

Bella huffed and sat back. "Yeah, so sue me."

Jack looked around the room and then back at his Mom. "How about we make a quick escape."

She cocked her head to the side. "Go on, you've intrigued Mother."    

Thank you so much for reviewing! The Monday teasers are up on the Blog now. (kitsushel.blogspot.com) Don't shoot me, okay?

I've been working on an Emmett Outtake for Parachute to be used in the 30 Days of Emmett, a series of One Shots, Outtakes and Drabbles featuring Emmett, which is hosted by AccioBourbon, Hmonster4 and Theheartoflife. It's already started off with a bang! Our Outtake will appear there on 12/3 and post to Parachute's Outtakes a few days later. Enormous kudos to these ladies for showing Em some love! =)

Charlie squeezed Bella and she melted against her father's side in comfort. When his flight to Seattle was called, Charlie leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

"I'll see you in a few weeks, baby girl. Everything will work out fine, you'll see," he told her quietly.

"Thanks, Daddy," she whispered in his ear. Charlie grinned and reached out to shake Edward's hand.

"Edward, it was good to meet you, son. Take care of my family, you hear?"

Edward smiled sincerely. "With my life, Chief."

The two men exchanged a look and Charlie nodded, before looking at Jack and holding open his arms. The boy hugged his grandfather tightly.

"I'll see you soon, Pops! Tell Seth and Nana and Leah that I miss them!"

"I will, kiddo. I promise," Charlie responded, blinking away tears.

Emmett's Outtake has also posted, so check it out if you'd like!

The music surrounded her, swirling like a tornado. Bella moved her hips and danced along side of Tanya's lithe body as she got lost in the sound.

"Excuse me," a deep voice spoke into her ear. She turned and saw a tall, handsome man smiling down at her.

"Would you care for a dance partner?" he asked.

"No thanks," Bella responded. "I'm fine with my friend."

He looked over her shoulder and nodded in that direction. "Looks like she found someone else."

Sure enough, when she looked, Tanya was dancing with a blond young man. She shook her head and laughed before turning back to the man.

"The answer is still no, but thanks for asking."

"Ah, come on. I'm alone and you're all by your self. What's the harm?"

"I think the lady declined your offer, pal," Edward spoke, sliding up against Bella from behind.

Thank you so much for reviewing! The Monday teasers are up on the Blog. (kitsushel.blogspot.com) Sorry these went out a few days late, but I was busy working on EPOV to go hand-in-hand with the next chapter, so I hope I'm forgiven. The next chapter should be up in a few hours and the Outtake sometime this weekend. ;-)

I'm so sad to see Parachute ending soon. It's been my baby for the past six months and I'm so thankful and grateful to each one onf you who has walked this journey with me! I'm not a big fan of angst or unnecessary drama, so our loose ends are starting to become tied up with Chapter 32. I only anticipate another 6 or so chapters before we're all finished. *sad face*

Parachute ended up winning the 3 Original Character Awards that it was up for, so much love and adoration to everyone who voted! Voting for The Avant Garde Awards ends on the 26th.

Victoria flew at Bella, pushing her forward as the other girl struggled.

"Stop it!" Victoria whispered. "Unless you want to fucking die, then keep right on fighting me."

Bella ceased to move and felt Victoria's hands pulling at the knot in the rope around her wrists. "Why are you helping me?" she asked in confusion.

"I may be a shitty mother, but I'm not a killer, Bella. We've got to get out of here. He's come unhinged."

"Really, Vicki? Is that what you think of me?" James voice echoed throughout the room.

Victoria froze just as the knot slipped away and Bella felt her hands come loose. She fought the fire in her shoulders and kept her hands together so that James wouldn't realize that she was free. Victoria's ice blue eyes were large with fear as she turned to face her lover.
