Reading Bella's POV of their first time should be wonderful! I loved Edward's take on it. For him, Bella comes first, last and always and every move he makes is for and about her pleasure. The truest lover imaginable! .Uncle Harry needs to meet Jasper and Emmett in a dark alley! Bella here is a true champ, using her shirt for Seth. She is truly the real deal. Loved this chapter - Bella and Christopher was lovely as well.
Author's Response:
Well after this chapter how will we ever get better? I hope that you trust me when I say, it will! Many of you want Aro to get his hands on Uncle Harry before the police do. I will not say who gets to Uncle Harry first; because well that would just ruin the surprise, but I will say this... his capture is already written, so feel free to speculate. There are some seriously some great chapters coming up, but Nikky says I need to warn you all that some of them are rather drama and angst filled. There also may or may not be a few cliffhangers in the near future, oh heck who am I kidding the next two chapters are rather cliffy in nature. The next chapter has a big surprise within and MOST of you may be very shocked. Nikky, Jess, and a few others who have already read the chapter during BETA processing seem to think that the next chapter may generate a lot more reviews. We may even get some from people who have not reviewed before now, because it is quite a twist. There is your warning. Nikky and I have been called diabolical for the plot twist that is coming, so we sure hope you all like it. I will say this out of all the readers and reviewers we have, only one time has someone guessed a good portion of the plot and got it right. We of course didn’t tell them, because well then they would know it would ruin the story telling process. We had a few question about Sienna’s ability to place a phone call since she is deaf. Deaf people can make phone calls using a Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD). Special telephone services have been developed to carry the TDD functionality even further. In certain countries there are systems in place so that a deaf person can communicate with a hearing person on an ordinary voice phone using a human relay operator. There are also "carry-over" services, enabling people who can hear but cannot speak ("hearing carry-over," a.k.a. "HCO"), or people who cannot hear but are able to speak ("voice carry-over," a.k.a. "VCO") to use the telephone. Couple of questions came about Charlotte’s nick-name of Chas, in our story Charlotte was the youngest raised by her father among her several brothers and she was quite the tomboy growing up. Char is a girlie name and therefore her brothers tagged her with Chas, because it is manlier. Thanks for reading and reviewing our story, we are proud of it, and are grateful to our loyal readers. If you have more questions or want to discuss some of the story line, feel free to join the group on Facebook you can find us by searching for: TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT FanFiction. Kasi (&Nikky)

Chapter 25 Teaser:
“Pajama day is when you stay in your pajamas all day and eat lots of bad stuff, watch movies, and play games all day long.” Seth and Leah nod their heads at me and Bella gives me a small half nod with her smile. “Okay then, pajama day it is in our house. I just need to make a few phone calls. Why don’t you all get your robes and slippers on, and I’ll meet you for breakfast as soon as I am done.” Seth and Leah hug me before walking out of the bathroom to get their slippers and robes.
After they leave the room, I look to see Bella biting her lip, and I know she’s worrying about something. “I’m sorry that she wet the bed. She’s never done that before.”
I walk to Bella, wrapping my arms around her. “Baby, its okay. She’s upset, and her body is reacting to that, so don’t worry about it.” I kiss her head and push her hair out of her face. I hiss as I see the large bruises that go all the way up one side of her face. “Baby, how are you feeling? Are you in pain?”
She shrugs her shoulders and tries to give me a smile. “I’m not sure. I...” She stops and rubs her head. “I feel like I failed them. He hurt Seth, and I should’ve been able to protect him better. I’m upset that it was Uncle Harry that broke into our apartment the other time. I don’t understand why he did that, or what he was looking for. How could he do that to Seth and Leah? I mean, I know that he doesn’t really like me much, but they’re his sister’s children. I thought he would love them.”
Date: 28 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25: A Sketching Surprise
Brilliant!! Bloody brilliant! The pieces are coming together more now and I have oh so many concepts! Are Sue and Tanya one and the same? Are Seth and Leah Edward's children? What about Harry? He was married in Las Vegas. To whom? Could it be Bella's mom for her money? So many quieries, and then so many more. The mystery here is brilliant. I'm loving every single syllable.
Author's Response:
Thanks again for the outstanding and wonderful reviews! We are so excited and happy to have you all on board with us for this journey and we sure hope that you all continue to love and praise the story the way that you do. I know that you all learned some rather interesting pieces of information in the puzzle we call His Cimmerian View. I bet a lot of you have more questions than you are asking. But to answer a few of the questions that don’t take away from future story line here you go. Yes it is possible that Tanya and Sue are the one in the same, but do remember that Tanya Denali was positively identified by dental records. Some are asking if Sue could be Edward’s long lost mother... I guess that is a thought, but the age thing would be difficult to swallow. Sue could very well be masquerading as Bella and trying to get her hands on the money that has been left to her both from her mother’s Estate and her grandfather’s. Wow more of you seem to be worried about who might have their hand on Edward’s shoulder than much else, so I will relive you of that stress, it is in fact Carlisle. Between this chapter and the BPOV on EHCV we have had many question how Harry/James could have gotten into Bella’s apartment after Aro did all the security measures, and I assure you that his ability to get into the apartment will be answered, just have faith in us, and you will see. Lots of new things will come out in the next chapter as well and unfortunately you are all going to hate us, because it will be ending in a cliffhanger as well. In the next chapter we will get to see Edward come face to face with Harry though... insert evil laugh... but at least I am showing you the teaser from that meeting! I am excited about the ending of the story; however we will not update any faster than we currently are. I am working on chapter 28 and Nikky is on chapter 29. At this rate we are going to be pushing to keep up with the schedule of posting each week. No I am not saying we will not post, but I am saying we will at this point be sticking to the every Thursday posting. If you haven’t yet, go check out Enduring His Cimmerian View... the Bella POV chapter is posted. We will not be adding any chapters to EHCV, until we have the main story cracked out of HCV. Thank you for being some of the best readers and reviewers out there and for loving this story we are sharing with you all. Kasi (&Nikky)
Chapter 26 teaser...subject to changes during Beta process.
All of it; I mean, this mother fucker broke Seth’s arm. I close my eyes, and when I open them again, I see nothing but him. Without even thinking about what I’m doing; I hit the fucker as hard as I can. I just keep hitting him until I feel someone pull me back. With the rage still blinding me, I knock whoever it is off of me and hit Harry again.
Suddenly, I feel a lot more people dragging me back. I feel a sting on my face, and I look around to see Aro shaking his head. Garrett has his arms wrapped around my waist, Felix is holding my left arm, and Emmett is on my right; I have no clue when he got here. Standing right in front of me is Jane.
“Jane, I don’t think you needed to slap him,” Aro says as he walks over to us. That fucking bitch slapped me!
“He was out of it, and it brought him back didn’t it? Besides that, I get to do the beating up around here,” she huffs, walking away from me to bend down and look at Harry. I look down as well, noticing that I knocked the fucker out. I can’t help but grin about it. “Wipe that look off your face! You broke some of his ribs and his nose; that’s my job, Assward!” Jane jumps up and walks over to her bag. She brings out some jars and sets them in a line on the desk.
“Eh...what the hell is in those jars?” Emmett asks as he gives me a look to ask if I’m alright. I nod and the three of them release me.
Date: 07 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26: A Shocking Situation
The creaking you hear is a lot of readers bowing before you. Your plot is stunning! The details are impeccable and the pieces fit stunningly. You've given us a read worth more than it's weight in gold!
Author's Response:
Well hello to our faithful readers and reviewers. It is hard to believe that this story will be coming to a close in just about five to seven more weeks. Yeah chapter 27 posts next week, 28 is written and off to the start of the beta’s (yes more than one) process. I am working on 29 and Nikky is kicking behind on her part of 30. After 30 is written there will be either 2 to 5 more chapters. Jess2002 threw a monkey wrench into chapter 29 for us, and I was actually shocked she asked for the thing she asked for. I will not leak the info on what she said we needed to do, but man alive it does give a nice twist. (LIKE WE NEED MORE?) twists that is...LOL. Okay so you got quite a bit of the mystery settled on the real Tanya Denali. I never lied to you , when I assured you all that Tanya Denali was in fact dead and buried. I also stated many times that the toddler found in the burnt house with Tanya Denali was in fact the child she gave birth to. Neither of those statements was untrue. I never said that he was in fact Edward’s, just that he was in fact Tanya’s. You will get to hear more about good old Uncle Harry again, but trust me when I say that he will be quit forthcoming on the information. Jane has incredible ways to make assholes talk. Many of you want to see Jane get her hands on Sue, and well I will not say if that happens or not, you will have to wait and see. Sue and her bullshit are not yet complete and I will say this, she makes an appearance in more than one chapter upcoming. She is quite sly, like a fox. We are both so excited to see what you are all thinking. I know that this was a lot to take in with the double identities. I want to assure you all that everything written so far was all part of the original plan, chapter 29 will be the first deviation from our starting outline. We hope that you all continue to enjoy and read and review this story, because it is nice to hear how much you like, love, or hate parts of it. We are amazed that we have written a story that is garnering so much emotion from our readers. Thank you for all you say in your reviews, they really mean the world to us! Kasi (&Nikky)
Teaser for chapter 27: Subject to changes during final beta process
I look at Bella and Alice sitting there on the floor. Alice is in front of Bella holding her arms while Bella is shaking and crying. I walk toward them, both seeming to have missed Emmett and me coming in the room.
“He’s going to hate me... they are all going to hate me. What should I do? This is so big. I... I didn’t know. I swear I didn’t know. Why…why would she lie about that? I did everything they ever asked. I never questioned them. She could have told me. I would’ve still loved them, I do still love them. Why? I... it’s not fair, Alice.” Bella’s hand goes to her hair, and she begins to grip and pull at it.
“Bella, please calm down. I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re talking about, but Edward loves you very much, and he knows you; he will trust you, I’m sure...”
As I move forward, Alice stops talking and turns to me. This makes Bella look up at me, too. She looks broken and scared.
“Bella Baby,” I say, holding my arms out to her. Instead of coming to me like I’d hoped, she shakes her head.
“You’re going to hate me, but I swear I didn’t know. I thought that... I thought I was the best for them. I didn’t know really. I swear didn’t know. If I had, I would’ve looked for you, I swear. Mom and Harry couldn’t have done or said anything that would’ve stopped me from finding you. If I knew, I would have made sure that they were where they belonged. I would have been punished, but I would have taken it happily knowing that they were safe and loved. I am so sorry.” I look at her, seeing her hurting, and I hurt too because she is still putting herself last. “Your son, Edw...” She cuts off mid-sentence and begins to wail.

Ditto my fanfiction review! I do love this story!
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View. Don’t forget to go read the BPOV chapter posted under the title Enduring His Cimmerian View. A lot of things have taken place over the past few chapters, and there is much more drama to come. I know some of you are mad that we let Paul get away with her, but we were sure to not let him get too far. And as for Sue, she sure is one sneaky problem, isn’t she? Well we haven’t seen the end of her yet, and wait until the next chapter... insert evil laugh. I will tell you this much there is lots of involvement from the fire department in the next chapter. A lot of you want the kids names changed, it is like you can partially read our minds, you will be seeing a conversation about that in the next chapter. Some are speculating about the Jess2002 induced surprise that is coming, but we have not hinted on it at all in either teaser, it will have to be a surprise. Speaking of teasers, after Monday when Fictionators posts their teaser, I am guessing that the Facebook group will be on a posting frenzy, because well damn that Sue is making yet another appearance in that teaser, be sure to check it out. There is so much going on in the story that even I am on the edge of my seat. I loved reading the ideas people have posted for torturing Sue. She is a piece of work, but writing her kind of crazy is seriously fun. I want to say a special thanks to all of those posts we have been getting about hot and juicy the lemons are. Nikky whole heartedly passes off the lemon writing to me... and I love writing them. There will be a couple really great lemony scenes coming up yet in the book, I am currently writing a really great one for chapter 31. Well not many questions for you all, so we will wrap this up. See ya next week, Kasi (&Nikky)
Chapter 29 Teaser, subject to changes in full beta process...
Seth and Leah have just gone to sleep for the night. I’m cleaning up the kitchen when Bella walks in. “Hey, baby. I’m almost done.”
She gives me a little smile, but it’s strained. “I’m worried about Seth and Leah. They seemed quieter tonight than usual.”
I put down the dish towel and wrap my arms around her. “We’ll be fine, baby. They’ll be fine.” I hold her face and make her look me right in the eye. “I will NEVER let her hurt any of you. The three of you are my life now, and I love you all so much.” Bella nods her head and steps back, taking my hand in hers. Her eyes travel down to my watch, and she trails her fingers across the band.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
She looks up at me and frowns. “I was just thinking about my past. There was this one time that I saw one of mo... her friends when I was at the park.” Bella stops, and I know what’s coming, but I wait for her to say it. “I had fallen down when a boy on his bike knocked into me. Her friend... he gave me a muffin.” Bella’s eyes meet mine, and I know what she’s trying to say, yet I give her the time I know she needs to gather her thoughts. “I think that friend was you. I mean... was it you?”
My hand moves to her face, and I caress her cheek as I nod my head. “Yes, baby, it was me. I am so sorry. I should’ve saved you that day.”
Bella shakes her head at me. “I wanted you to save me. Even though I didn’t know you, I wanted to go home with you. I wanted you to come back and take me with you. At night, I used to dream about you, but I could never see your face – just the watch. If you had saved me then though, Seth and Leah wouldn’t be here. They are worth everything I went through and so much more.”
I pull her toward me, hugging her tightly. “I still wish that I had saved you from her... from all of them. I will not fail you or my children again.”
Date: 02 Aug 2012 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29: New Home, New School, New Start
Lots of excitement here and I loved every syllable! A baby?! What makes me think Sue will see see dollar signs! You really have created one of the most "hate-able" villains in her! Kudos!
Author's Response:
Well it seems that most everyone is happy that Sue is caught, but many of you are unhappy that she wasn’t tortured first by our dear Jane. No worries our little Jane will eventually be paying Sue a visit. Many seem to be worried that Sue will escape or get away; well rest assured that we have no intent on letting that fruit-loop free. She is toast. It seems that less people are disgruntled by Bella being pregnant, now that chapter 30 posted. As the next few chapters post, I am thinking most if not all people will understand why Jess told us it was the perfect fit. Nikky and I have added to but not really changed much of the original story-line. I love when you all make suggestions and we’ve already written it into the story. The next chapter has a few suggestions in it, that oddly enough were written before they were suggested. I know that some of you are sad that this will be coming to a close, but there will be MANY – MANY more out-takes to come. We actually discussed some future plotting things today and have a whole other out-take to add to the Enduring His Cimmerian View, in Edward’s POV to boot. A lot of you want a Jane’s POV and well we have decided that it will be the next one released, do I hear the cheering already? Yep... pretty sure I do... LOL. We really want to say THANK YOU again and again, for reading, reviewing and loving this story so much... it has become a HUGE part of our lives and we both put a lot of work into it, as well as the wonderful group of gal’s we have keeping us from looking stupid.
Thank you, and we will see you with the next update. Kasi (& Nikky)
Chapter 31 teaser, subject to changes during beta process.
Tomorrow we are scheduled to be in court. Since it is the same day as my birthday, I have refused to do anything but celebrate us getting full custody of Seth and Leah. I am thinking positive. Bella has refused to let my twenty-ninth birthday go by without doing something. Seth and Leah soon joined in and I lost the battle. So tonight we are having a family dinner, and everyone is going to be here. Bella decided that I should also receive my gifts tonight from everyone.
I watch her making sure everyone has drinks before she sits me in the middle of everyone. Seth and Leah come up to me first. Seth hands me small box, and Leah hands me two envelopes. I open the envelopes first. The first envelope contains a certificate for being the best dad, signed by both Seth and Leah. The second envelope holds a homemade birthday card from them. I whisper out an emotional thank you to them in their ears, before opening the box Seth gave me.
As I open the box, I see it’s a necklace. It is platinum with dog-tag like disks of metal hanging from it. The first tag says ‘Dad’. I look at the next which says ‘Seth Masen’ on it as I turn it over I see the other side has his date of birth. The next has ‘Leah Masen’ again the back has her date of birth. The last tag is blank and I look up questioningly.
“It’s for when Bean’s born.” I look up at Seth and Leah and pull them both in for a hug a kiss the heads.
“Thank you Little Man and Princess.” I watch them go back at sit down, after we share a few more hugs.
Date: 03 Aug 2012 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Faith Within
You never disappoint. Never! You fill every chapter with so much action and so many personal pieces that reading it is always a supreme pleasure - as well as a mind bender in this case. Marvelous mystery! I always look forward to updates.

So many details...so much fun to read! Reading this story always makes me feel like I'm picking through your brains. Thanks for that! This was simply scrumcious!
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View. I am very sorry for the lateness of getting this review reply to you. I always write them out and Nikky sends them to everyone on FFN and I send them out to everyone on TWCS and Twilighted. With the move, I am without internet, so needless to say we got a bit of a delay. We are hoping that the delay will not cause an issue in the normal posting, however we may run late getting chapters 33, 34 and 35 posted. This has put me behind by more than a week, so I hope you all are understanding in regards to the situation. The reviews have been wonderful, and Nikky tells me that there haven’t been a lot of questions. The next chapter will be loved and hated, but trust in the fact that Jane has a plan for Sue. Thanks for being such loyal readers, we love and appreciate every wonderful review and comment you all leave us. HUGS! Kasi (&Nikky)
Teaser for 32 subject to changes during beta process
“What do you want Pet?” Sue sneers out.
Bella look at her, and I nod my head in encouragement. “I want to know why? Why you didn’t love them?”
Sue shakes her head. “That’s easy, because they were meant to be mine and Charlie’s, but instead they had to come out being HIS. Every time I looked at them, all I saw was that stupid fucker.”
Bella looks at her shaking her head. “Well I was Charlie’s child and you didn’t love me.”
Sue laughs sarcastically, and she shows her teeth as she makes a face. “NO, you are right about that. I don’t love you, I never have and I never will. I wanted something that was mine and Charlie’s, I deserved that. What I didn’t deserve was for your whore of a mother to intentionally get pregnant to try and steal my man from me.”
I chuckle out loud at Sue’s delusional attitude, and Sue growls at me.
“There are only two people I love in this world that is Charlie and Harry and you took both away from me,” Sue says caustically as she turns her glare at Bella.
“I want to know what you were planning to do with Seth, and the baby that belonged to Tanya, what was your plans?”
Sue laughs at Bella’s question in her evil sarcastic way. “You really want to know? Well I’ll tell you,” she says with a now huge happy smile.
Date: 19 Aug 2012 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Getting the Answers
Excellent! You helped Bella face her demons and got the bad guys. What about Esme !!? I especially loved her calling to Carlisle that Sue's face broke her hand. Priceless! One wonders at this point what Jane has planned for Sue. It would have to be epic - Jane being Jane. I also loved Aro's reaction to Bella's request. Thanks for another wonderful read!
Author's Response:
Sorry for the major fail in getting this review reply in a timely manner. Been stressing with the issues of moving and getting the net working, but on the bright side things are working well now. Chapter 33 should post on time, I’m working on 34 right now and Nikky is working on the Epilogue right now. WOOT WOOT! Not much for teasers after this chapter, but keep those reviews and thoughts coming in, we love to hear what you have to say. Thanks, Kasi (&Nikky)
TEASER!!! For chapter 34 – subject to changes during beta process...
With the help of Garrett, he got his hands on a large poker table, and even hired a dealer for the night with Aro’s help. He asked Bella and Esme to make us up snacks, and then sent Emmett and Jasper to get the big people juice. We kept the card game light while Seth was playing with us. After he went to bed, we gambled a little harder. Emmett’s only complaint about the night was that there seemed to be the lack of strippers. Actually, he was upset because there were no strippers.
The night was relaxing and rather quiet, so it was perfect for me. I don’t see this as my last night of freedom, but the last night of my old, solitary life. I can’t wait to have Bella as my wife. I can’t wait to call her Mrs. Masen tomorrow. Tomorrow I marry my soulmate, and my true life will begin.
~HCV~
Here I am, standing up at the front of the church. Everything is so beautifully decorated. The girls made it look perfect, and I know it’s exactly as Bella wanted it. The ladies of the church made sure that every single detail of Bella’s wishes was precisely the way she had envisioned it.
Date: 06 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Epilogue - Welcome to the Masen family
An amazing finish (so sad for that) to at ely marvelous piece of work. We know these people. They have become our friends, relatives, and neighbors. Only the best writers can accomplish that feat. Thank you for all your hard work and headaches on our behalf. The world you created is especially close to my heart! Kudos!
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)
As the end times approach the battle for souls on earth begins, so many people have yet to choose sides.
Heaven and Hell have opened the gates and let loose the best they have to offer, the gates closed and
nothing may re-enter until the battle is won, unless, that is, you perish.

I'm sorry to see the story is at an end! I loved the originality and depth of this piece. In the beginning, I spent most of my time trying to figure out who was on what side and who was human. I got Jasper right off but Alice took awhile. I think it was the innate sense of goodness you worked into her. Even she was surprised! I'm curious, did you get the idea for the chess games from Twilight or Ingmar Bergman? It was inspired. Thank you for a truly original, unique yet passion filled piee that kept us guessing right to the very end! I loved it! I can't wait to read more from you!
Author's Response:
Great, passionate review! Thanks. Ingmar Bergman, The Seventh Seal ( i think), classic and later Curse of Fenric (Dr Who), I love the image of the devil playing chess for your soul...funny I didn't think of the chess scene in BD!
President Edward Cullen decides to pass a bill that will change life as Bella Swan knows it. A misplaced Jimmy Choo and a stupid publicity stunt will change the lives of Edward and Bella. Are either of them ready?

Cayden will be in my prayers! Oh! The flagpole? How weird is that?! And the concrete?! Just to be on the safe side, I'd write Seth nice and accident free in the foreseeable future. Be sure and let us know how Cayden makes out.
Brady Collins? My guess is he was a cop or secret service against who off set an attack on a Presidential hopeful. I'm one big shrug on the subject of Jasper's shoe knowledge, but Alice's aversion could come from the same general area that Bella's for the President. There's too much about him that attracts her to him and she's set career goals for herself. My closest thought though was she feels the pull and fears losing him the way Bella lost her Brady. Another reason I think Brady was Secret Service. Thanks for a terrific update that makes us all think AND feel.
Date: 07 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20 When Vultures Attack
Marvelously good...and unfortunately, too realistic. The threats, the press! it would be nice to think it's overdone, but as we all know you are writing realism. And beautifully.
I say if Seth and Cayden are mirroring each other that much - go for broke. Write in a scenario with Seth's body gaining the ability to eventually heal completely! (hey, it' s worth a shot!). Cayden will remain in our prayers, as will you, and we look forward to great news from you. Take care.
Date: 30 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Vultures
Cayden will be in our prayers here...especially on April 19th. In general, anesthesiologists will use something different if ANY allergy is a remote possibilities. Keep the faith!
Great update. In a way, the press reaction was almost bound to end up this way at some point. By today's standard it is almost the norm! You hit this one right on the mark. It was marvelous getting inside Edward's head at this point in time and his relationship with Emmett is complex but it shows depth on both their parts. Thank you for updating so soon...especially given the circumstances. Take care!
Date: 20 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Career Move
I'm glad your little guy is on the mend! Scary allergies- very, very scary!
As. Stressed as she is at this point, Isabella needs to start toning things down a bit. Yelling is clearly getting her nowhere whereas concise information has. ( the threat handled promptly). The President needs a reality check here. A single mother on a low paying salary affording Jimmys?! Not in this lifetime! Isabella can dress professionally and yet less costly. I somehow keep seeing Seth as the joining point for these two people. Loving the. Story!! Thanks!
Date: 19 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Changes in Attitudes
A more than realistic read on today's political dominos. Cause and AFTEReffect. By the way, Vice President Cheney? Brilliantly funny! Sooner or later Edward is going to realize that Bella is not just like everyone else.
Date: 11 May 2012 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25 A New Home
Nice! The relationship is growing rather naturally - not forced. The break in was a surprise. Thank you for letting Charlie survive, by the way! Too many punches would seem contrived here. Again, the mystery here is first rate and I love it! Also, hugs to your little guy from a fan.
Date: 22 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Letting Go
Beautifully touching! Thankfully, Edward has allowed Bella to realize what she lost, appreciate the gift of Brady, and begin to move on the way Brady would want her to. I'm still curious about Seth's biological father though. Thanks for the rapid update!!
Date: 21 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Emotional Confrontation
That kiss may have been the best thing in the world for Bella. You can only hang onto that much pain internally for so long. Add to that dealing with Seth's illness bravely for his sake, and it's a wonder the Jimmys weren't flying ages ago. Marvelous chapter and we finally see the inner Prez. He never forgot- he just couldn't make the connections from any paperwork. Loved it!
Date: 08 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Emergency
Talk about getting lemons and making lemonade! You do your son proud by bringing this issue to such a vast audience and educating them. Who knows, you just may be the catylyst for change or better yet, the saving of a life!
Your story, by the way, is marvelous in its own right. It's current and the characters are fleshing out well. Thanks for an excellent read! I'll be looking forward to your updates!
Date: 26 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Arrangements
Nice chapter. Seeing the background of each character is always a major story plus. Thanks for a wonderful weekend update!
Date: 28 Feb 2012 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Barbie Bella
Seth in the White House.... That could be interesting. Perhaps it might even give the President what "being on the inside" of the issue is really like for Bella. Nice work on explaining Alice's designer clothes! I for one was wondering. Thanks!
Date: 05 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Diverting Disaster
I don't think Edward is used to being around children. Bella is not used to people. NOT being used to toddlers. In a very large sense,mthey are still sounding each other out. That Edward is so attentive to Seth's actions might just be the beginnings of deep down sincere caring and concern for him. Also, Edward's taking note of everything Bella has to carry with her is a true Ah ha moment. Great update. Nothing seems unnaturally rushed or out of whack.
My daughter's pediatrician once told me that any growth is a good thing. I was a nervous wreck. ( 1st baby), and he reminded me that growing alone was a plus on its own. Your little guy remains in our prayers. Latex can be nasty! Even a bandaid can cause problems. Keep the faith!
P.s. that 1st baby is now 18 and going to college on a full presidential scholarship. Try my mantras: " one day at a time." and. " this too shall pass" . Take care!
Date: 06 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Demands
My guess on the cause of Bella's antagonism is that she voted for him, trusting a campaign promise that would ease the financial difficulties from Seth's illness. Once in office, compromise led to the breaking of that promise and Bella feels betrayed by someone she trusted to make a difference. There you go! My guess and a run on sentence all in one! Great chapter here. At least they're beginning to communicate here. Loving the stars in Alice's eyes!
Date: 12 Mar 2012 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Searching for Connections
Oh now there's one I didn't see coming! Nicely done. Very very nicely done. The results to the test should be interesting, and even more interesting, will Rosalie fess up if the test is positive for a connection. She already admitted that she doesn't want Bella ruining the President's chances for reelection. Hmmmmmm.......
Date: 15 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Handling Things
You're right! Edward is in. So deep when it comes to Bella now! He spent so long just taking care of business, now that Bella's hit, she knocked him for a loop. Part of me thinks Rosalie is involved and part says, "uh uh. Too obvious.". I do think if Rosalie had anything to do with parts of what'd happening to Bella, it was the small stuff - now she is just stuck back pedaling trying to stay hidden and keep Edward uninvolved and in her world as she sees it. Nice chapter. The background stuff is important. Sometimes more than just important. It's vital. This chapter also allows us to see the various relationships popping up. Bella and her security details, security and Seth. ( they do adore him!). Also Bella and Edward's relation ship and how it is changing. Well done! We'll be praying for your little guy here. Try to breathe and take care of you too.
Date: 23 Apr 2012 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22 PJs and Ringing Phones
I'm glad to hear Cayden did so well and even happier to hear that all our prayers and thoughts helped you so much. I love the bit with Jake and Seth with the phones here! It's too true! The guys have GOT to answer that toddler's phone. I was thinking that Edward might move Bella, Seth and Alice in the Executive Mansion. The White House has lots of extra space, a guarded perimeter, and a very controlled environment - which includes an outdoor space for Seth to play in. It also means that there is no commute time for Bella and Alice. If Alice and Jasper aren't a "thing" now, they should be soon! Be fair, the man just saw her in a cami/ shorts set and heels in the morning. He's only human! Take care and let us know when you know more about Cayden. For the record, when I had my daughter I had 5 IV bags going and 3 bracelets...but then my arms and wrists are way bigger than his. Give him a collective hug from all of us!
Date: 04 May 2012 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Sisterly Conversations
I definatley think Jasper is interested in Alice, but in this case the way to the man's heart is through the lady's shoes. It's a cute twist! As for our mystery person - I'm so confused right now I'll have to abstain! Nice one.
I hope everyone is feeling better soon. As for the HIB, my great-grandmother used to always say you an get anything twice if the conditions are right.
Date: 14 May 2012 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Press Conference
I will take my updates however you choose to send them and be very, very thankful! I think Edward is trying to maintain professional distance here and also protect Bella's reputation. God bless Alice! I loved the bit with Rosalie. And Emmett I the elevator...too funny! As far as the Senator and Mrs. Cullen go, I don't think Edward really cares a lot. It's his job, his office,his, life, and ultimately his decisions. He wouldn't be where he was if he based everything he did on them.
I'm glad your little guy is doing well and holding is own. I also hope that you had a Happy Mother's Day, as I did.

I have no idea how she ended up in that mansion, to be honest, lol. It's an interesting point to consider.

Deliciously erotic and wonderful. Bella's reaction to sex is totally understandable. She will not endanger another person and place him in jeopardy. So very Bella. She would rather be lonely for the rest of her life. Something tells me Edward has other ideas now. I loved this chapter. It was straightforward and unpretentious, yet lovely and gently warm and caring.

For Edward, bringing Isabella back to her home must be like the sword of Damocles. He is insuring the well being and ease of existence to his race, but he is sentencing a kind, innocent woman to a virtual prison for the rest of her life. I think you've made me feel sorrier for him than her - by just a bit. Wonderful work here!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much. I appreciate the comments.
This story is a one-shot explaining one of the million and one scenarios of what could have happened after the Cullen’s left Bella in New Moon.
This story contains angst and character death.

Dear Lord! What a cliffhanger! Sorry to not review more than several chapters sooner and separately, but our family was away on vacation. RL ensued, now finally I can catch up!
First, I must tell you how very much I love this piece of work. Everytime I read it, I have the feeling of discovering and reading a journal I found in an attic trunk left by an ancestor. Written with the local dialogue it is beyond perfect; it brings you to the time and place. I smell the smells, I am able to see what they see, it truly transports the reader to Ed and Izzy and follow them on their journey of discovering the country and each other. I can't wait to keep following.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the lovely review! when a reader enjoys the story that much, it makes it all worthwhile. more to come today!
Date: 02 May 2012 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23
I can not begin to tell you how much I'm enjoying this story! I was raised on westerns and war movies and combine a western and a love story and I'm a goner! I love the dialect you use so lovingly and the details you add to each chapter. The chapter with the soldiers reminded me of something Lois Lamour once said. He said that at that time out west only one thing was sure to get you hung faster than stealing a man's horse, and that was accosting his wife. Women were so at a premium then. Izzy and Ed's relationship has moved perfectly and Jack was the perfect addition. Thank you for a marvelous read!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the lovely review. I have to admit that I'm enjoying writing it immensely. Thanks again!
Date: 27 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 78: The Future - Part 1
I agree that we don't give enough thought to how much safer our lives are now. My own mother caught scarlet fever as a child; she began to recover and then relapsed with rheumatic fever that attacked her heart. She was 7, was given Last Rites and took a year to recover. I was blessed to be her daughter! She was wiser than believable, had more pure faith than any 10 people I know, and had an immense capacity to love. The things I learned from her are with me still and I pass them along to my daughter - Anne, names for her.
Peter may surprise them all yet! I loved your update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! just posted part 2...hopefully post part 3 tomorrow. Then it's on to the sequel...
Twilight AU. After a horrific car accident leaves Bella in a catatonic state, she's transferred to Forks Hospital under the care of Carlisle. What happens when Edward is faced with the lifeless girl in the bed and an undeniable pull begins? Can he bring her back from the hold her mind has on her, or will she be forever lost to the abyss?

As for these chapters, you bring the angst of the medical system out beautifully. I think Charlie will agree, but not immediately. He has been backed into a corner so to speak,and he will do anything to get his daugher back. I do love him so! Bella at the Cullen's should be interesting! I predict her bringing us a sweeter, gentler, more thoughtful Emmett among other things. Thank you!

Marvelous! Now we can truly understand the hell that forced Bella's mind into that "cubby hole" in order to survive. Knowing the affect that Edward is having will make all the difference once she awakens. I find it fascinating that the key to Bella's prison is Edward's voice, touch, and music. She believes she is finally dying so his prescence gives her the ability to let go of the reality she has created. Truly wonderful!

Marvelously imaginative and original!
Set in England mid 1800's. Edward and Bella live in different worlds, ruled by class and money, where prejudices influence and dictate who you can love. Can they overcome the stigma and gossip to be together?
We can’t help who we fall in love with; however we are responsible for how we react to that knowledge or how we treat that person.

I cannot express how much I loved this story! Your characters were fresh and exciting and you opened a whole new world to your readers. Thank you! I keep wondering though if Bella and Edward will ever return. Most wo made that voyage didn't, and some that began it never finished it. I have ancestors who made that journey. Out of 12, the father was buried at sea from typhus and upon arriving in New Orleans, his wife and 6 of the children died. Only 4 sons remained alive and they split up and went their seperate ways and formed the family we have today.
It would also be wonderful to know if Bella's dreams came true and she was able to give Edward children. Again, thank you for a marvelous read!
Author's Response:
Yes the trips were quite grim, I did a little research as I was writing it was very interesting, fanfiction has improved my knowledge of history!! Your family history sounds interesting.
At the end of the story I did hint at them returning to tell of their adventures to their children and family, so I want you to believe they do get their HEA, I love a good HEA ;)
Thanks for your lovely review xx
Date: 28 Aug 2012 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19
Oh boy! As I see it, this could go either of two ways. Bella could trust Edward and having seen Leah was up to something before, let her have it, or she could become upset, panic, and run from the room not trusting Edward. (there's every possibility there for her to trip down the stairs and injure herself escaping the situation!). One way or the other, this chapter was wonderful. It filled us in on everyone's emotions, feelings, and activities. It even let us in on the inner Mr. Clearwater! Bravo!

I hope your holiday is your best ever! Sorry for not reviewing more often, but RL and vacations interrupted. I did keep up with my reading however, and love this story a lot. The camparisons drawn with each couple are striking and your characterizations are spot on. Poor Dr. Cullen! What a way to discover your daughter is in love! I both felt for him and wanted to laugh at the same time. Leah following Edward about in the dark is somewhat concerning - pity poor Jasper! Stuck behind the burgundy drapes! Again, thank you for all your hard work. I'm looking forward to much more!
Author's Response:
Thank you for your lovely words, they're very much appreciated.
Hopefully you'll see the characters change as the story progresses and love and their experiences change them. Yes, poor old Dr. C, Alice is a real handful, but she'll be soon Jasper's problem....perhaps that's what Dr. C realised!
I haven't finished with Leah yet...she's just waiting in the wings for her opportunity.
My holiday was enjoyable and I'm ready to start writing again...I missed it! Hope you enjoy ch15. Take care xxx

Gotta love those large potted plants! Hey can be so convenient! I have a feeling that Tanya may have just dug her own grave, so to speak.

I can't wait for the steam to rise when the family finds out what happened!!! Kudos!

Unfortunately, people do tend to believe the most lascivious stories. Things might be hard for Bella, but with the family she loves around her, she can't fail. I loved this update and watching Tanya get her comeuppance. Small note: I loved the use of a peridot as Bella's ring. It is my birthstone.

The pain could have made them shut down emotionally, but they each chose to honor their past by living their futures. Kudos! You have a real winner here!
Author's Response:
Thank you for the heartfelt review and sharing a little bit of yourself, I did try for simple and touching, I'm glad I achieved it.xx
Jasper, a single parent for the past five years to Alice-Rose, awaits the arrival of his childhood friend Emmett who is living the life he once dreamed of. Can Emmett help him see that he can have the life he wanted and still be a father, maybe find love.

Lovely. Jasper's reactions here are right on the mark. This is all new to him and trusting is an issue for him as well. Emmett here is wonderfully loving, sweet, gentle and romantic. My favorite line in this chapter is Emmett wondering what their little girl dreams about. He is truly curious and lovingly sincere. Wonderful characterizations!

God, I just knew the mother from hell was bound to get a call from her mother! It never occurred to her, I suppose that Allie won't know who she is! This chapter was handled lovingly and wonderfully. The reader never misses the fact that the number one item in their relationship is love!

Every emotion feels positively raw and powerful. Occasions like this one are just that - raw and powerful. Below it though you have placed a wonderful undercurrent of love. Emmett and Jasper's. Esme and Carlisle's for Jasper and Alice-Rose. Though done quietly, and their opening their hearts to Emmett. Kudos!

I can not tell you ow much I have enjoyed this story. I especially loved the epilogue written after many years with Jasper, Alice-Rose, and Emmett as a family. Thank you for all the hard work and emotions!

This story is absolutely exceptional - and one everyone needs to read! The messages of acceptance, generosity, and sheer love and friendship are not seasonal. They are important messages that if payed heed to, would make this world a better and kinder place! May we all learn to be an Esme or a Tony! Thank you for sharing this work with the world! It makes it a better place by its lessons and and simply being in it! Thank you! People take for granted what they always have. You are teaching us the lessons of those who are not so blessed. I for one, won't miss a syllable! Thank you!

Thank you for another winner! Peter Pan fits perfectly here and seeing Wisp with Rose is a refreshing moment of growth for both Wisp and Rose. I have a nasty feeling that Wisp began this life rather early - as a very young child in fact. Training takes time and James uttered something to that effect. I do adore this story. For all it's drama, it is so very uplifting! The reminder is there that for everyone wo is evil there are ae more people surrounding us that are compassionate and kind, trustworthy and caring. Kudos!
Date: 02 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter 42
I love Emily and the way she interacts with Wisp. She shows her respect and that is always positive. Also, Edward's idea about and older photos great. Sometimes it can make all the difference - depending on the person. Great chapter. I spent today catching up and re-reading all the outakes. As horrifying as the situation is, you always manage to bring such caring and positivity to this work. Thank you!
Date: 09 Jan 2013 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36
Oh boy! As silly as it might seem to some, a missing pet is majorly traumatic to a family. But Wisp! It could set her back big time. I keep hoping Pet is upstairs asleep near Wisp. I love the chapter. Thank you!
Date: 01 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 41: Chapter 41
I think if you tried to give up "Wisp" in the middle I favor of something else you would hear a huew and cry so loud you would need earplugs! You have made your characters so special and given them such heart! Rosalie...hurt, yet a survivor with a deeply feeling heart. Emmett...the tough cop who adores his wife and family and counts Wisp as one of them. A true gentle giant with the heart of a true cop. Jasper...the pediatrician you want to bring your own children to. Esme...perfect, maternal Esme. The greatest compliment she could have received was Wisp's desire to call her mother! Wisp, herself...damaged, sweet, strong, Wisp. You have given her heart and soul and somehow managed to make us SEE her as whole and quite perfect as she is! Thank you for all of them!! ( I have a burning desire to see Wisp discover Stitch! Now that could be interesting. Wisp knows Ohana now and her sense of empathy with Stitch would be amazing.).
This new information is exciting and so hopeful! Thank you for all your hard work and the wonderful world you have given us!
Date: 15 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16
Wonderful! Each step along the way is sometimes followed by a step back, but Wisp is making true progress. Her art may just come to be a real key to her progression. I love Garrett here. He truly knows how to break through the walls Wisp has built, and does it with true compassion. Kudos!
Date: 22 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5
This story is unbelievably touching and in depth. It is quite amazing! Wisp's every reaction and difficulty make your readers' hearts bleed. Kudos on a remarkable piece of work?
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'm glad people are enjoying my little plot bunny. I think she's pretty cute, myself. ;-)
Date: 22 Jun 2012 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11
Amazing! I just read the story through and you have gotten me hooked on this story big time. Wisp herself breaks my heart, and the people around her have captured it with their comittment and caring. I'm looking forward to your next update!
Author's Response:
Aw, thanks for the sweet review! I'm glad you're liking the story, and I should be updating on Thursdays (crossing fingers!)
Date: 10 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Marvelous! So many clues! I would guess that Wisp had been living on cat food and that's why she reacted so violently. Rather like being brought back to hell. As for her age, James stated that they would be ruining years of work. That means she could very well could have been a minor when she was taken and her abuse started. The last 2 chapters were excellent and moved the plot and characters well. I'm looking forward to many more!
Date: 27 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18
I think Wisp's growing with each person she is closely envolved with. Edward is sher main support, but Rose is setting her imagination free and letting her learn that not only can she be safe with others but hat Edward can be trusted to return. Rather like Peek-a - Boo with a baby. Alice is helping her express her past through her art, and Emmett is teaching her that size is not always threatening. She is beginning to trust him. The same is true for Jasper, Esme, and Garrett. This was another milestone chapter for her and for Edward. He is beginning to deal with true separation anxiety. Marvelously done!
Date: 30 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20
Wonderful. You bring it all home here and let your readers digest how even the simplest tasks can become difficult in a situation like this. Luckily, they have a name now! I can almost hear Emmett roaring to work. Thank you for the updates. I'm Wally looking forward to the next one and hoping to find out what's up with her knees and if they can be fixed.
Date: 03 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25
I so loved these updates! Wisp and her world are enthralling and always leave me wanting more. I'm sorry to hear you've had plagiarism problems! My only advice is to hang in there and know that a superior piece of writing will always win out! I'll be waiting to read more once your mojo is up and running. Thank you for all the hard work you've put in so far.
Date: 13 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Marvelous! You certainly raked us over the emotional though. (Nice job!). Dr. Lawton leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me really suspicious... Hmm.... Let's hear it for Wisp though! She came through like a trooper.
Date: 23 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27
The calm after the storm - that's Rosalie! In so many ways she is helping Wisp open up to the world more than anyone. Except for Pet! Thank you for another winner!
Date: 18 Nov 2012 Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Marvelously eye-opening and the end was a true stunner. Could Dr. Gerandy be a minister?!
Date: 19 Nov 2012 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32
Outstanding! Getting inside Wisp's head allows us to see she is smart, she can speak more than they know, she is a survivor and has learned painfully how to do so. Edward's illness may just give them some insight into this. They will know now that Wisp tried to care for him, watched over him, and looked after Pet. Stunningly good chapter!
Date: 20 Nov 2012 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 33
Finally! Her name! Poor Wisp! She's been so strong and yet hurt so much - now, to go through this! Waking up in a hospital won't help her either....unless perhaps Edward, Rose, Esme or Jasper is there. She needs to know she won't be given up on.
You grabbed all my heart strings and played them perfectly here. Bravo on excellent use of plot and plot excelleration. This is a serious winner!! Kudos!
Date: 27 Dec 2012 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 34
I loved this. Wisp at her most vulnerable and dependent on someone other than Edward. Esme is a star! She comes through - over and beyond the call. Carlisle steps up as well; lending a professional ease and knowledge that can only make Wisp trust him in the long run.
I hope you're feeling better!
Date: 27 Dec 2012 Title: Chapter 35: Chapter 35
I love the relationship beginning to grow between Wisp and Esme. She is just what Wisp needs! Wonderful work.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful! Hopefully now Wisp can concentrate on healing herself. Pet should be a good beginning!

Date: 23 Nov 2014 Title: Chapter 63: Chapter 63
I can not begin to tell you the enjoyment this story has given me since its inception! You never shied away from the truthes of life and yet have us a dramatic, warm, overwhelming love story. Not just the love between Wisp and Edward, but all forms of it : Mother/ daughter, sister/sister, big brother/ beloved little sister, friend/ to friend, and even devoted professional helpers/ to their charge - oh! And let's not forget Pet! The instinctive love exchanged between a loving, intelligent pet and her devoted human! How fitting that it was Pet who began Edward's path to finding Bella again! Thank you for this magnificent journey through the human mind, spirit, and soul! It was outstanding!
Set a year and a half after Edward left Bella in the woods. She has moved on with her life but all hell breaks loose when Angela turns up missing. Everyone thinks it's a runaway story but Bella knows different. She was kidnapped and by both a human and a vampire. Bella plans to search for Angela with Jessica's help but finds herself in the same fate. In an underground auction house being sold as a play thing to the highest bidding vampire.

It's nice to know Angela made it! It do love Peter; he's a kick!
Date: 01 Jul 2012 Title: Chapter 5: Hello Major!
Damn! If Isabella changes her mind, I'll volunteer for Major-duty! This was hot, sexy, and filled with feeling from beginning to end from the Major's anger at Edward, to his making her feel wanted and desired. I especially loved that she finally realized who he was by his affirming that she was worth it. Only Jasper gave her that gift. I'm looking forward to more of their relationship! One little worry though - with Bella a newborn, what about Angela? Thanks for making me hotter than I've been all week!
Author's Response: Oh yeah. I think we all want a little Major-duty!!!!! Have no fear about Angela's safety, Bella won't be a typical newborn. That's just boring to make her like everyone else.

Nice twist there!
Date: 23 Aug 2012 Title: Chapter 12: Girl bonding time
I do love the unique relationship Bella has with each of Jasper's personas. With Jasper, it is sexy yet gentle and concerned. With the Major, it is very submissive yet playful, and with Aries it is super submissive, unsure, yet he treasures her and cares for her deeply - almost ias intensely as he is dominantly forceful. I do love them all!
Date: 19 Sep 2012 Title: Chapter 15: Meeting in the woods Part II
Loved hearing from both Jasper and the Major. Loved it.
