I just found TPW again by chance yesterday.  I am caught up now and even more disgusted with Carlisle.  I am certain it is not healthy to harbor a deep hatred for a fictinal character, but what really gives me the heebie jeebies is to know there are actually sick minds like this out there.

Dun-dun-duh, and the devil aka Caralisle arrives.  Stay locked in there Bella!  Find a freaking weapon, the calvary is on its way!!!

Beautiful ending.  I love her seeing "Her" Edward standing and waiting for her.

Bella's going to be old hat at being kidnapped soon enough!

My leg is jumping and I am biting my nails hoping she gets away!

Thank you for making Bella somewhat smart in this situation, she did not accept being a victim but was a fighter.

Would Esme be concerned of a potential attack on Italy?  That jealousy that others have for Bella and Edward makes me so nervous!  PEople get ugly when they are jealous.

Is she fearful that she is or isn't pregnant, now THAT is the question!  If Edward strays, knowinng his true love is with him, well, she should kick that beast to the curb and shave the head of any of woman who looks his way.  But the greatest revenge would be to not respond to him and just make sex about procreation and marital duty.  That would be painful and difficult, but  all she really had the power to do.  But I think Tanya will attempt to make it look like Edward strayed, when he truly did not.  Since it seems she does not have much faith in him remaining faithful when presented with temptation, it seems like that plan would work!  Poor Isabella, at least she may have an ally in Rosalie. 

I hope we've seen the last of Tanya and her ugliness!  I would hope they would now see that htere is no hope of Tanya being Princess, even if she offs Isabella..  But that's the thing with angry, delusional people, they don't think logically!

hmmmm, I get the feeling we will have an "Oh, how did I miss that?" moment when we find out who the villain is behind the murder.  I love that the mystery is more complex than originally thought.  And what a show of power by Bella that Tanya was caught in Spain.  Did she really think that was a smart country to flee to?!

I usually so not like anything not Bella/Edward.  But I am really liking this.  I love all the similarities he sees in her and Jasper!

I'm not sure if I feel sad with grief or happy they are together for eternity. 

I think a good retort for Bella to Jake as to why she would want this lifestyle after an abusive relationship is that an abusiverelationship is based on fear and intimidation whereas the D/s relationship is built on trust and respecting limits.

Does Edward get the joke yet?!  ;)

I like that they seperate their everyday relationship to their play relationship. 

I know Alec is a sicko and just wrong in the head, but the obituary is brilliant.  He not only gets them frantic but also sends a message about his intentions. 

Isn’t it obvious that I’m a cat person?

Best line!

:)   Of course I will keep reading!  I am kind of loving not liking him.  I will not say hate because I think he can change...

I think Renee and Charlie should be mortified by Jane's behavior!  I would be if my child acted that way towards someone.  Perhaps their excuse making is what made her such a wench!

I suspect Jane will have invited Tanya along for the visit Edward is heading to.  On another note, if a family has been a dream of hers her entire life, she should probably move on.  At the same time, if she moves on without feeling firm and confident in her decision, she may never be happy.  Edward could not decide to give in on these things just to keep her either because thye just wouldn't be happy most likely. 

I think Edward is extremely immature.  He handles pretty much all of it badly.  Leaving her at the wedding like that was a him holding up a sign saying "Immature Asshole".  He's only focused on himself and his feelings.  He doesn't know where this leaves them?  Huh, it leaves him across the country from the woman he supposedly loves while he sulks.  I get the idea that Jake may step up and be there for her.  It would be a hard lesson if she moved on with someone who was there for her when she needed support the most.  I think I would have had a bonfire with New Moon had that happened in there but here, I would like to see him learn not to be a spoiled brat by losing what he wants!

Yeah, Edward needs some therapy.  It's almost some type of PTSD in losing a child like that.  He isn't connecting Bella and the baby, total disassociation.  And I just want to yell  "THIS is NOT love.  You do not treat someone you LOVE like this!!"  But good chapter  ;)  It's good to understand him a  bit.

No, did not dee it coming, I thought Bella would be stronger than giving into the physical connection.  I am thinking it means absolutely nothing at this point!  He will freak out, she'll be pissed and disconnected.

They are at a different place now.  Before, Edward's reaction could have been written off as an emotional, knee-jerk reaction.  Now, he outright rejected her and the baby, with a concious decision.  You would think his grief over Charlie would make him want to cling to a new life.  I would think her feelings for Edward would be different at this point.  Trust has been broken, is it possible to get it back?

I hate to say it but I think his immaturity has played a the largest role in the demise of the relationship, so his fear that one day she'll realize he's too "young" for her?  That's probably not too far off the mark right now. He was going to screw Tanya again.  Really, even if he gave her forgiveness for his own sake, that doesn't mean he should jump into that cesspool again!  He just may not be able to fix things before Bella moves on.

Merry Christmas!

Well it looks like Jake just sabotaged that!  But he wouldn't be able to if Edward would grow a backbone and go for what he wants instead of pussy-footing around it.  He is the one who needs to step out on a limb here even if he thinks it will be chopped off, he needs to at least try.  Bella did.

Well, considering how calmly Emmett just handled Bella's revelation, I'd say Edward probably said something similar to him!

I am thinking Edward safeworded.  He was so upset about Bella getting married that he wasn't actually just punishing Tanya for her indiscretion but also ready to take his anger out on her for something she had nothing to do with...OR she sensed his extreme anger and it scared her?  I can't wait for their first face to face!

Great twist, I was hoping she'd pull out her business card and tell Leah to give her a call when she was ready to get her head out of her ass and see that prig for what he is.  I think Leah could get a decent palimony settlement from this situation for her baby!

I keep wondering if Tanya will be at the club when they do their scene?!  I hope Bella puts that psycho in her place.  I love that Rose had a device on Emmett.  Bella should've have avenged Mojo by leading Emmett into trouble! 

It's like Lois Lane finding out that Clark Kent is Superman, all of her feelings can be combined as soon as she grasps that they are one person!

Esme cracks me up, she needs to get stealth with her attempts to have him take Bella out, I see where Emmett gets his subtlety.

Does Bella not drink at all because of the circumstances of Brody's death or just when she is driving?  Just curious!  I think I need a ladie's night out...

I'm trying to figure out if the boys have decided that they should be a family!  They seem to miss having 2 parents.  It would be interesting to see them fight off potential suitors for either Edward or Bella...

I like that Bella tells people what's on her mind, like with Esme and Emmett.

Well, how sweet is that??!

It looks like Bella does have a hurdle to jump before she can truly move on.  I am loving Charlie!

I am just sitting her smiling because you painted such a pretty picture

:)  Glad that wasn't terribly drama-filled!

She extended an olive branch even though she was not totally comfortable.  Very grown-up of her!

i hope that's just not something about Alex and his allergy.  I am not sure they could ever get over the guilt of that hanging over their first time together!

They've established themselves as a family, shouldn't they be thinking of making it legal?  If for no other reason than emergencies like this one!

This is going to be hard on all members of both families.  The Swans were robbed of 14 years with their daughter, but the Cullens are not at fault yet their family will be torn apart too.  And don't think we hav forgotten those words Esme told Bella that first night!  She'd hold her until they found her Mom and Dad.  Seventeen is hard enough trying to figure out who you are without the added difficulty of belonging to 2 families but not knowing one of them at all. 

They should Google the Swans to get their story on Isabella Swan.  SOMEONE should be curious as to the other side of the story!

I am sure Renee and Charlie would hit re-do on how they handled this if they had foresight into what would happen.  They acted rashly and now they will have that resentment to overcome as well as 14 yrs of bitterness.  Regret weighs you down like a boulder, they just keep heaping more on themselves and I feel terribly sorry for them.  At the same time, the Cullens have NOTHING to be treated this way so it is worse because they had no control over this situation.  I wonder if the school would let them hold an assembly to clear it up!  IT's better than letting these people speculate and ruin reputations needlessly.

This would be a nightmare trying to juggle everyone's feelings along with your own. 

OH, that is so sad.  At least she has him.

I swear if every girl had an Edward Masen of her very own we would have a well-adjusted society!

Family therapy with both families!  Ben is quite the dark soul there, I see why he sticks with Angela now.

I am not trusting where Esem could take her resentment of Bella nad Rose.  If Maria got hold of Esme she would have a lot more info on this huge clan.

I think Peter's survival must depend on a choice Char will make.  They seem to hav quite the army themselves!
