Onto the next! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Author's Response:
This has been a fantastic journey and we are sad yet excited that we finally clicked completed. Keep in mind to watch out for Enduring His Cimmerian View to update, there are a few of those yet to write and post. There is not a real posting schedule for those, but they will be written.
Nikky and I are writing a couple more stories at least together and we hope to see you checking them out too. We have a stalker story coming soon, as well as a BDSM/Olderward story coming out. We also have a pretty large one-shot that will post soon, that we wrote for the Forbidden Fruit contest. We can’t tell you the name of it yet, but there are a TON of great stories entered in the contest.
I started posting the new story collaboration I am doing with Jess2002, it is called Bases Loaded and you can find it under the author name of JessAndTAT.
We again thank you all so much, Kasi (& Nikky)

Bella Swan works as a nurse at Cook County Hospital in the ER. She's older and desperate for love. It's hindered by her shy personality and plump body. Her father, whom she lives with, teases her relentlessly for being fat and single.
Edward Cullen, thirty-three, is hired as a doctor in the ER. He's getting over a divorce. He moved to Chicago to be closer to his family: sister, Rosalie, and brother, Jasper. Rosalie is younger than Edward by ten years and is struggling with an eating disorder brought on by a heinous rape of her ex-boyfriend. Jasper, twenty-seven, is finishing up his doctorate in history.
Bella is charmed by this new doctor in the ER. He's kind and thinks about his patients and maintains a friendly rapport with the nurses and orderlies. Edward is intrigued by the sad nurse who does her job efficiently but doesn't have a sparkle in her eyes.
Will she allow Dr. Cullen into her life or will she let her insecurities get in the way of her happiness. Perhaps, Dr. Feelgood can write her a prescription. A prescription for love...

Its not going to be easy, and I think Bella is going to have to be the stronger person in this relationship due to Edward's insecurity. Hopefully she will keep him grounded with her love. But I bet its gonna be a bumpy ride!
Author's Response:
You're right, it's definitely not going to be easy. But it will be worth it. Bella's strong enough to handle this and he will get there. :) Thank you for the nice review!
Date: 15 Jan 2013 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - Bella's Living Room
While Alice was being a bitch, I think she is just concerned about Bella. She had some valid points and I have a feeling things will come to a head at work. Ah well, true love never runs smooth does it? Looking forward to the next chapter
Author's Response:
Alice is concerned about Bella. Her delivery was horrid, and she had her reasons, but she could have been far more tactful. You're definitely right that true love never runs smooth! These two have quite a ways to go. Thanks for the nice review!
Date: 07 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - The Entryway
Wow what a chapter! Heidi ripping into Edward, shame on her! she knew her daughter was waiting in the car, did she think she would sit there forever? too bad Maggie heard all of this, but at least now its out in the open and can be dealt with. And Bella? I wonder how long this is going to go on, and will she be hanging on by her finger nails waiting for Edward to find time for her? Of course his priority is his daughter but he has to make some time at least for Bella. Can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response:
I know! Kind of an emotional roller-coaster, wasn't it? Yeah, Heidi was too focused on her own needs to think about her daughter. It is good that it's in the open now, and Edward can deal with it.
I promise it isn't going to be tooo long, and they'll find ways to be together without making the situation worse. They're going to have to be a bit creative, but they'll do it!
Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed the chapter.
Date: 07 May 2013 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 28 - The Market
That was wonderful!!! Bella brings so much into that home that Edward and Maggie were missing. Great chapter, happy to see them all getting along and enjoying the holiday. Heidi can piss off now, she threw away the relationship with her husband and daughter! LOL
Author's Response:
So thrilled that you enjoyed it. Bella really does give E&M what they were lacking. Glad you enjoyed all of the time they're spending together. And yeah, Maggie will have a good relationship with her mother, but she and Bella and Edward are really going to be a family. Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!

That was a great chapter. The party went off without a hitch and everyone got along. Bella and Edward deserved that after all they have been through. Looking forward to the next chapter! Love it! Love it!

Author's Response:
Thank you so much for reading ang reviewing. I'm sorry your sick but I'm thrilled that you found my stories. Since I'm new to writing, I'm a math teacher so writing fiction isn't high priority, I tend to stick with what I know and love. Besides, why research for Edward's job when I can just ask the hubby! ;)
Thank you again for reading and reviewing. Here is the teaser promised.

Author's Response:
Well so far everyone seems to be loving the story and we are so happy about that. Not a lot of questions asked this go around, but there will probably be some more by the next chapter. This story will be somewhere between twenty and thirty chapters when complete. We mentioned this will post once a week on Mondays. If for some reason Kasi can’t post Monday morning, it may post late Sunday night. The Cullen’s are very accepting of Edward’s choices in life and his lifestyle, therefore yes the Cullen’s would be good to Bella if she were to be around them. Thanks for reading and reviewing, we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts as the story goes. (Nikky) & Kasi~
Date: 05 Aug 2013 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3
I love this! I want to know more about Bella's background, her family. That coward Charlie promised he would go to the interview and he fishes instead? what a jerk.... think it was Bella's lucky day when she met Edward. I also think the girls, and I say that loosely in the dorm are going to make Bella's life more hell then they already do after meeting Edward. Thanks for the update.
Author's Response:
Hey everyone thanks for reading and reviewing. There have been several questions and some we can’t fully answer to not give away too much about the story and where we’re taking it. But let’s start off with the easy stuff. This will be about 25 chapters in total, give or take a few and we update every Monday or very late Sunday night. There are many questions regarding the scene that Edward will be participating in. It is a scheduled demo, teaching session. We don’t want to give away any info on the scene as of yet, but trust us that there will be nothing remotely sexual about it for Edward at all. The submissive which will be a part of the exhibition will not in any way shape or form, want or try to keep Edward as their own. As for more info on Bella’s parents and why they are the way they are, you all really have to be a little patient, you haven’t even met them yet. There are a LOT of seriously wicked guesses as to what is going on and why things are the way they are, but so far nothing is dead on correct. You can join us on Facebook, search for the group called: TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction and you will find us. Hope you enjoy the teaser... Nikky & Kasi~
TEASER: The rest of the night goes slowly and my mind often deviates back to Bella. I end up texting her just to have some communication with her.
Beautiful. How was work tonight? Did you get much work done for college? I just finished eating some of the lovely apple pie that you made me. It was truly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Thank you. ~Edward
I try to focus on my work, but find myself unable to stop looking at my cell. I close the club and head home. I’m sad and upset that she didn’t respond to my text. By the time I get home, I feel even more upset and even angry. I wonder why she wouldn’t text me back. Thinking over reasons, I make a mental list.
Have I scared her off? No, I don’t think that’s it. She wouldn’t have agreed to meet up with me if I had scared her. From what I see and know of her, she doesn’t ignore people, so that can't be it.
Maybe her phone is out of minutes. Now this is more possible, because her cell is one of those cheap pay-as-you-go ones and she has little money. If that’s the reason, then there is no way for her to call or text me back. Do dorm rooms come with a phone in them? Not really sure about that, I’ll have to check. I know she is the type of person that would try to keep money on her cell and would say if she was low. She has often said she needed to switch her phone off because she was low on minutes.
Maybe she fell asleep and is a deep sleeper. It has been after midnight when I texted her. She did say she was normally home before eight and in bed by ten most nights. Yep, that must be it. She’ll most likely text me once she’s awake. I’m sure she’ll feel bad that she missed my text. One thing is for sure, she doesn’t need me being on her ass like white on rice.
I feel myself calming down after thinking over the theories, and I decide to head to bed. I wake up and look at my phone seeing it's a little after seven in the morning, but I still don’t have a text from Bella. I frown and let out a sigh as I rub my face, knowing that I need to get moving. I’m supposed to be meeting my dad at nine for breakfast, because he won’t be able to attend dinner tonight.
I get showered and dressed all while glaring at my cell. I see that there is still no incoming text. I text my father to say that I’m on way, and ask if he could text me back to be sure he got my message. I frown even more when he's answering my text minutes later. Well, that takes away the newest theory that my cell is not receiving incoming text messages.
I arrive at the hospital and see dad is waiting for me.
“What was the texting all about?”

Bella just can't catch a break! and her roommates? bleh. Looking forward to the next chapter, thank you
Author's Response:
Well that is pretty much verbatim the reaction we were expecting. We did have a reviewer or two who feels that Bella has been abused to limits of overkill and that Edward shouldn’t want to be with a kid. I want to address this a little before things get blown out of proportion on this train of thought. Showing the things Bella lives with and has lived with, is how we are showing her ways of adapting. Bella has been severely neglected all her life. She knows no other way. Speaking from some experience on the matter, when you grow up in a household without both parents and you pretty much raise yourself, and get pushed aside for your parents needs can either make you or break you. When you solely depend on yourself, you tend to learn to not react the way people normally would. Bella’s childhood in this story is a lot like mine, in the place where I had no contact with my father at all from age of 6 to 16, who I then saw twice at age 16 and never again until I was 21. My mom started dating when I was young, but when I was 9 she met a man who she chose to place before me. By the time I was 12 I lived alone, she gave me the money to pay the bills. So yes this stuff does happen. I am by far not a perfect parent myself and I may be a single parent, but I am always here for my children. I turned out okay, and with the exception of not being able to be in a healthy relationship I am not screwed up. Edward in this story sees the good in Bella, and sees that she is more than she’s been made to believe she is. Bella was made to grow up fast as a child. She parented her mother for years. She pushed away by the same mother she raised to go live with a father who resents her for choosing her mother over him. Now we had some questions about waiting until Thanksgiving, and it will be Thanksgiving soon in the story. Just a few more things have to happen first. Be patient, everything in this story will happen for a reason. We have had a great number of followers and reviewers for this story, so we do write one major reply and send to all, but we do try to answer all questions asked ... of course we don’t want to give away too much. I do hope that this helped you understand a bit more about how and why Bella just lets things roll and adapts to what goes on. You can always join us on Facebook at the group called TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction. On behalf of Nikky and I, thank you for reading and reviewing. It means a lot to us. Kasi (&Nikky)
TEASER: I quickly snap a picture, before speaking to her. “No, just a normal picture, but you can pose for me anytime you’d like.” I wiggle my eyebrows at her as I snap another picture of her.
I keep snapping pictures as we talk in my office. I know I have a few that I can use, but I can’t seem to stop taking her picture.
“I think that’s enough pictures of just me. Come on, Edward. Why don’t you take one with the both of us?”
I take the camera away from my face, before grinning at her. I walk over to the oversized comfy chair then sit. Off to my left is the large stone fireplace, and the flames are casting their warmth on my feet. Once I’m sitting, I pat my leg in motion for her to join me. “Come on, Beautiful.”
Bella looks at me, then to my leg as she slowly stands and makes her way to me. She glances at the arm of the chair and I shake my head at her.
“Please, Beautiful, just to take your picture. I swear I don’t bite.”
“Liar,” Bella chuckles, looking at me.
I look at her and frown.
“Don’t give me that look Edward, I’ve seen your club and read the first two books you loaned me. Plus, you look like the type of guy that likes to bite, at least a little.”
I chuckle nodding, because she’s right, I am a biter. “You’ve got me, dead to rights on that one, but I swear I won’t bite you ... today.”
Bella sits on my knee and I pull her back so she is flush with my front. I raise my hand with the camera in front of us and snap away. Slowly, I feel Bella relax in my arm and she drops her head to the side of my neck. I take a few more, before kissing the side of her head.
Date: 09 Sep 2013 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Holy Crow. Poor Bella. And Edward showed great restraint, although I wouldn't bet on it now they are headed home. Give them all they deserve Edward and then a bit more!
Author's Response:
We knew the reactions to chapter eight would be intense and strong. We were shocked that some of you actually attacked Bella for being weak, but at the same time it’s not surprising. Sometimes people who are mentally abused and neglected for years strive only for some sort of love. I can’t imagine any child not wanting their parent to love them. We all see love in differing ways, and when you’re raised not feeling that unconditional parental love, it makes you strive to have it—at least it did for me. Bella will come into her own strength soon, and with the help of Edward and his family she will get better. We are stoked for you to see the interaction with Bella viewing Esme and the way that Esme treats her children, so a portion of that is your teaser.
Many of you asked why Edward did not just beat Charlie down, or how he could have not stopped the situation, or known Jake was in the kitchen. Edward is one person, and he was trying to watch out for Leah, Jake, Charlie, Brady and didn’t know if he could trust any of the other five people there as well. As for when Charlie smacked Bella, he had his attention focused on Leah and Jacob. As for why he did not punch or beat down anyone, imagine this: Edward defends Bella by striking someone or several someone’s. He gets arrested his word against several, one of whom is the police chief. Meanwhile Bella is unprotected and left with the wolves. It was best for him to do as he did get her out and safe. And trust that he will be dealing with this. The ball has already been rolling on a few things, but this just upped the ante.
I’m sad to say that we have lost some readers, but again we cannot and will not apologize or rose color a story about an abused girl, when a good lot of the abuse she withstands is things that are personal to one of the writers and or other people the writers know. Abuse happens and the largest form of abuse out there is mental abuse and neglect. Awareness is a key to making things better. Bullying is a problem, and awareness is a key. We are however thankful that we have readers who trust in us to bring things full circle.
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~
Teaser: “This is very nice, Esme,” Bella says after taking a bite.
Esme smiles broadly at Bella. “Thank you, dear. Edward tells me you're quite a wonderful cook yourself.”
Bella’s blush appears on her face. “I’m nowhere near as good of a cook as this.”
I shake my head at her. “Trust me, Bella’s cooking is to die for,” I say as Emmett passes me the wine. I pour some for Esme, Bella, and then lastly for myself.
“What are you going to college for?” Rose asks as she looks at Bella.
“I’m getting a law degree,” Bella answers, but I know the whole table can hear the sadness in her voice.
“And Edward tells us that you’re a dancer, a quite wonderful one at that.” I look to Alice, smiling that she brought up something that makes my girl happy.
Bella nods at Alice. “Yes, I love dancing, but I only do it for fun.”
“You’re in the Christmas dance program for the college though, right?” Esme asks as she looks at Bella.
“Yes,” she replies with another blush.
“Carlisle and I have tickets for three of the performances. I’m so looking forward to the show, and seeing you dance, of course. The dance department director has been bragging to the board of directors about the dances that you have choreographed.” Again Bella blushes more at hearing about the commendations she’s being given.
“That’s got to be the cutest blush ever,” Emmett says in a childish voice, which is followed by a slap from Rose.
“I love dancing, and the people I’ve been dancing with are all great. I just hope that no one’s disappointed at the end of the night.”
Esme frowns a little. “I’m sure no one will be disappointed, dear.” My mom smiles at Bella in a way that I can see the mother in her trying to break out and pull Bella in.
The rest of the dinner seems to fly by with everyone talking about what’s been happening. The more the night goes on, the more Esme became motherly to Bella, but I’ve also noticed Bella becoming uncomfortable with it. At so many times, she’s looked like she isn’t sure how to react at something Esme has said or done. She’s remained respectful, but I’ve seen her slowly distancing herself from Esme.
I walk Bella to the car and open the door for her. “I’ll just be a few seconds.” I give her a wink and walk back to house.
As soon as I do, I can hear Esme’s upset voice. “We really need to do something. I won’t accept that nothing can be done.”
I hear my father sigh. “It takes time, dear.”
“No, first those little punks ... I’ll let you and Edward deal with them, but Charlie is mine!”
I chuckle, but feel a little nervous, because I can hear the anger in my mom’s voice.
Date: 08 Dec 2013 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Bless Esme for tossing Renee, that was great!
Author's Response:
Wow, I dropped the ball, normally I have the review reply all written out before now. So all Nikky has to do is send it to all the reviewers at FFN, and I do TWCS and I post one in the comments FicPad. I dropped the ball this week. Between personal stuff and the holidays and other drama things, I just flat out missed the bus. I am so sorry for the delay in you getting this from us. There were not a lot of questions at all, but you all seem to LOVE Esme, and how could we blame you. I FLOVE her myself. This is short but sweet, but hey you’re going to get an extra long teaser … Thanks everyone for reading and reviewing. Nikky and Kasi~
TEASER: As Bella’s face pales, I look to see who she’s looking at. I see Sue walking in with a crying Leah clutching her arm. When I turn my head I catch James rolling his eyes at the display that Leah is putting on.
“I will go back and take my seat, I hope you like my last surprise,” James says getting up and walking away. I watch him trying to work out what he’s talking about, but chatting brings my eyes to the dock. I watch as two officers bring in Paul and Jacob. I frown at them seeing that their heads seem to have been shaved and they both have those scalp molding scarfs on their heads.
“Please rise for the Honorable Judge Varner,” the court bailiff speaks out loud before anyone can say anything.
The judge enters the room and sits in his chair, and tells us to be seated as he calls the court to order. The judge reads over some paperwork and looks up at the defendant's table.
“This is a court room, remove those head scarves,” the judge says bluntly.
I kiss Bella’s head, but the loud gasps make me turn my head. I look around the room seeing everyone’s looking at Paul and Jacob. As they move around at the reactions, I can see they have ‘rapist’ tattooed across their foreheads.
I turn to look at James who is smirking away.
“What did you do to him?” Leah screams as she stands up making her way toward Bella and I.
“Young woman, sit down! No, in fact get out of my court room and don’t come back until you put some clothing on. Bailiff remove this person, and do not let her back in here unless she’s dressed more appropriately.”
Leah’s mouth drops open as she looks at the judge with rage in her eyes. Two of the eight bailiffs in the room escort her out of the room with Sue running out of the room behind them.
I smile a little and turn back to pay attention to the judge.
“Are the defendants, still pleading not guilty?” the judge asks.
“Ernest Berty, for the defense, your honor,” the defense attorney stands and says. “I’m representing both Mr. Lahote and Mr. Black and they both plead not guilty. At this time, your honor, we are petitioning the court to have the trial moved due to bias and news coverage in this matter.”
“Well Mr. Berty, since both your clients are facing charges in four states including the great state of Washington, I doubt you’ll find anyone who hasn’t currently heard something of the case. You have had your chance to question and discredit members of the jury, so therefore your request is not applicable. Your request to move the hearing is denied, and further more future stalling tactics such as this will not happen in this court.”
I chuckle silently as the defense attorney tucks his tail and sits down. The judge has the bailiff bring in the jury and they are seated. We listen as both sides give their opening arguments. I’m glad that as soon as the opening arguments are done, the judge breaks for lunch.
“How are you feeling, Love?” I ask Bella, as I lean close to her ear so our conversation is private.
“I’m all right, but I think I may head home soon, if that’s okay?”
I kiss her head. “Of course it is, my love.”

Yes! yes yes yes! I don't blame her for being careful, Edward did let her walk out. No he didn't deal with it well, but still. And a baby, a sweet baby that is part of both of them. Wonderful! I love it! thank you so much for the update! Looking forward to the rest.

That was perfect. Just so simple and sweet. Just enough, no over the top. And I wish to hell Edward had put his fist in Mike's big mouth. Just one punch. But I suppose it was for the best he didn't. I hope in a future outtake Mike gets stuck with an old hag with no teeth and wiry hair! lol and a dozen kids!
Thank you for the update.

It was sheer luck I found you and this story. What a wonderful storyline...the history, the wedding ceremony. Just the right amount of love and angst. You are a very talented writer in my opinion. I am looking forward to the rest of the story and more from you. Thank you for taking time to write this for us!
