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.

The overwhelming response to the chapters so far have far exceeded what Nikky and I thought this story would generate.  We are both very proud of this story and humbled by your responses.  In lieu of the ‘boycott’ at FFN everyone will be getting Meeting Her Needs in their inbox later today.  We hope that you all will still take the time to leave us your thoughts, especially since this coming chapter is super wonderful, (Well we think so anyway!)  Thanks for trusting in us, and no worries things are really shaping up at the end we’re working on that will leave you all satisfied—we hope.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER:
I put on my tuxedo trying hard not to turn and watch Bella get dressed or look in the mirror.

“Edward ...” comes Bella’s voice as I tie my laces and answer her.

“Yes, Beautiful?”

“Two things, is it wrong to go to these balls ... things without under garments on, and could you zip me up, please?” I run through what Bella has said again and turn to her.

“Wh ...” I try to talk, but I’m unable to complete what I’m saying as I look at Bella, whose sheer beauty takes my breath away. The dress only adds to her natural beauty and I feel stupefied as I stare at my beautiful girl.

I look Bella up and down, taking in every part of her body. I slowly look her up, starting at her feet. My eyes trail up how the dress sits on her body like a second skin. I look at how it makes her already large breasts look fuller. I look at her neck that still displays my mark. My eyes go to her lips and I see that they are moving.

I close my eyes and shake my head. “Sorry, I spaced out there, can you say that again, Beautiful?”

Bella chuckles shaking her head at me. “You look really hot, like my own secret agent man. I was asking, because this dress shows every line, so I should I take off my panties, right? I couldn’t squeeze my bra into the bust area; the girls can hardly breathe as it is.”

I look back down her body and see that she's right, she has a panty line. “Remove your panties, Beautiful, no one will know,” I say. I watch intently as Bella wiggles out of her panties and comes over to me and turns around. My eyes trail down her body again and I start to kiss her back. I feel Bella shake and laugh and I look to her.

“I need you to zip me up. I mean, you can carry on doing that, but I think we’ll be late if you do.” I smile giving her one last kiss, open mouthed, at the base of her lovely neck, before pulling the zipper up. With the zipper up it makes the tight dress even more molded to her curves. It fits her like a glove, and I make a mental note to thank my mom.

“Come on, Beautiful, let’s get this over and done with so I can bring you back here and kiss you some more,” I say holding my arm out for her to take.

Well it seems like more and more of you are hating Bella’s parents.  That is quite understandable, but you haven’t even met them yet.  Yeah you get to meet them.  Form your opinions after you do.  The back story of what happened at Harvard will come out, soon.  You will also get to see more of the sweet side of our DomWard in upcoming chapters.

We had people worrying about throwing Bella right into scenes and such, we want to assure you that there is no way we could write that, because there is no way she could do that.  This story starts in September, and they will be friends first.  Edward has feelings for her, but he knows she is quite broken.  Have some trust in us, we are not perfect but we do try to provide a decent story worth reading.

We’ve had a lot of people asking about chapter count, and posting time frames.  At this point we are saying around 25 chapters.  There are 14 written and once we have it fully written we will post much more often.  We could easily post up to chapter 12 right now, but then you would be stuck waiting for 13 and on up.  We would rather put you on a week wait now, than have to say, sorry we got writers block no chapter this week.  We purposely started posting after we had 10 chapters written for a reason. 

We’re going to start giving teasers like we did for His Cimmerian View, and this is the first teaser and it is unannounced, so enjoy.

Nikky and Kasi~

I chuckle, before leaning in to whisper to her.  “These are exhibitionist submissive and Dominants that are in these. There are many showing different scenes—new things—teaching methods.  Some have sex in them, but unlike porn these, or most of them I should say, are collared pairings, who have been together for a long time and both agreed to do this.  There are some that are of a submissive that is into humiliation.  They’d meet with the Dom several times and build a trust between them, before these filmed scenes take place.  There’s always a contract between both parties, and both are screened for STDs beforehand.”

Bella looks at the DVDs and then back at me.  “Are you in any of them?” she asks, her voice is soft and low.

I look at her shaking my head.  “No, I’ve never done that.  Well, I never had someone taking pictures or a video of it anyway.  I have done a few scenes with my sub at the time.  When I’m not with a collared sub, like my current situation, I’ve done scenes with submissives’ whom I have a good relationship with from my club.  I’m due to do a teaching scene about rope bondage and spanking at the club three weeks from now.  No matter how many scenes I participate in, the one thing I don’t do is have sex during a public scene.”

Well a lot of you still want Renee to die a slow and painful death, but many of you are just glad she is gone.  Renee will be heard from again in future chapters, however we don’t want to give away too much by telling you how, when or why.  We think the next chapter will be the second most popular chapter to date when it posts.  Christmas and preparations for it, is a very fun time for Edward and Bella and will hopefully be well received by our readers. 
On a side note, please check out the wonderful little story that Nikky, Jess2002 and I are writing for Savannavansmutsmut.  It is called If I Die Young and it is posting under the author name: WeeJessAndTAT. 
Nikky and I would love to thank whoever the people were that nominated us in so many catagories for the Twi-Fic Awards.  We are nominated on four different stories: His Cimmerian View, Meeting Her Needs, Diamond Dolls Kitty Cave and Crabs And Cream.  We were also nominated in the veteran author section.  The link to vote can be found on our profile, and if you don’t vote for us, vote for someone.  There are some AMAZING writers, stories, banner makers and readers all nominated for awards.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser: 

I lead her back to my car and we drive to another place where I can pick up the things that I need. I watch as Bella blushes and chuckles at the joke gifts the store has. I frown when I see that she has a bag, having bought something without showing me.

“What’s in the bag, Little Girl?” I ask trying to get the bag from her. But she’s quicker and hides it behind her back.

“It’s one of your Christmas gifts, Sir, and you can’t see it until Christmas morning.”

I chuckle shaking my head at her, knowing this will be fun for both of us in the long run.  “Oh, is that a fact, Little Girl? I could order you to show me, you know?”

Bella shakes her head at me. “Then your girl will tell tales to her Sir’s mom.”

My mouth drops open and I look at her, smiling internally, because she is willing to stroke the lion and play. “Is that so, Little Girl?”

Bella nods at me, but bites her lip.

“Well then, Little Girl, I may need to give you a spanking,” I say playfully to her.

“Your girl will take the spanking, Sir. Your girl really wants this present to be a surprise for her Sir.”

“Fair enough, let’s finish shopping.” I shake my head, watching her walk away from me. She looks over her shoulder and flicks her skirt a little showing her ass.  “Spanking it is then,” I say to myself before walking after her.

Hello everyone!  Thanks for all your kind words.  We want to start off by addressing some of the frequent questions.  This quote (“I know they love me, really ... I know but, it’s strange, maybe it’s just me. You know that I see and hear things differently from the rest of the world, but thank you for doing this and answering my questions.”) from chapter five had someone ask, what Bella meant.   Bella is referring to how she perceives her family versus the way others do.  Jacob is not a card we are showing yet, you’ll have to be patient to see what he has up his sleeve.  Did Bella hear him in the shower?  We have yet to hear that answer from Bella ourselves, but in my thoughts she surely did.  Will there be any chapters in Bella’s POV?  She is talking a little here and there, but nothing’s set in stone as of yet.  Shouldn’t Edward as a good Dom cancel the scene?  The scene is not canceled, but it has been modified from the original way it was written.  This was for several reasons.  We have sixteen chapters written, yet we still continue to makes tweaks and changes here and there before posting.  When we started making him have hard feelings about the upcoming scene, or feel nervous about it, we started discussing it more.  We found a way to appease us, our readers and yet still show what we wanted to show.  So trust us—please.  I’m glad we haven’t fallen into the pleads for more chapters to post faster, because in the last week we haven’t gotten another one done.  Of course WeeKittyAndTAT, JessAndTAT and TeamAllTwilight all submitted pieces of work into the Fandom Fights LLS.  WeeKittyAndTAT did an Epilogue of sorts for Ropin’ A Sitter.  JessAndTAT did a future take on Bases Loaded.  I wrote a new fan fiction novella, it’s called, The Things That Make You Click.  All of these will post to our FFN and TWCS accounts, but not until after December first.  Watch for two one-shots to post soon to our account, the winners will be announced tomorrow in the More is MORE contest.  Think that brings you all up to speed.  Feel free to PM us and ask questions if you have them.  Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:  “Felix, my father is coming in tonight. Please have him come straight to my office.  Keep everyone else out until I’m done. If there are any problems, I trust you to deal with them accordingly.”

Felix nods at me, but doesn’t say anything. I carry on, walking toward Jenks, when I’m stopped by Tanya.

“Sir, I have some news that I would like to share with you.”

I turn and face Tanya who looks like the cat who got the cream. “Tanya, I’m very busy, it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.” 

I move away from her, but she grabs my wrist pulling me back. “It’s very important, Sir.”

I yank my arm away from her, turning to face her once more. “Tanya, don’t you tell me when I will speak with you. I’m busy, so unless you’re going to die in the next five minutes and need me to call an EMT for you, I don’t want to know. And never touch me again without my consent!”

I walk away without waiting for her response. As I approach Jenks, he shakes his head, looking behind me at Tanya.

“Ah, still trying to get your attention then?”

I nod at him, opening up my office.

“I’d stay away from that one; she’s clearly after money, fame and quite frankly, has ‘whore’ written all over her.”

I chuckle a little at his quite accurate synopsis of Tanya. “Yes, I know. Those are the main reasons I have always refused her, that, and she makes me lose brain cells every time she opens her mouth. But enough about her, what did you find out.”

Jenks looks at me sadly and I can clearly see the worry on his face. “This is not going to be easy to read. Even harder for you I’d say, because you’ve become somewhat involved with the girl.”

I nod at him in understanding. “Just show me.”

Well it seems the majority of you really liked this chapter.  There was some confusion regarding Edward’s family, they all really love Bella, but have been warned to not be too handsy or huggy with her, because it is nothing she is used too.  Please don’t fret, Edward’s family is there and will be there to support Bella.  Lots of you still want instant retribution for Bella against everyone who has hurt her, but please be patient Rome wasn’t built in a day.  As always our update schedule is every Sunday night/Monday morning, so far I have been able to post every Sunday.  There is a lot of stuff going on and things will be interesting here very soon.  A lot of people were surprised by Bella’s actions of kneeling naked in his playroom, but only Bella knows what she wants.  Edward wants her there is no doubt about that, but he wants her to want him for herself—not just because she thinks this is what he wants.  Edward has a fine line to walk, but he is not stupid and will handle this situation accordingly.  Thanks as always for reading and reviewing.  Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:
I glance down at my cell, when it rings seeing that it says Beauty.  I frown, because I know that she should be about to start her last class.

“Beautiful, is everything alright?” I ask worryingly.

“Renee called, I didn’t pick up.  I was unsure if you wanted me to call you first or if it was just Charlie. I’m sorry, I just thought ...”

I smile and sit back down.  “No, Renee wasn’t on the list, but I’m glad that you called.  Please wait until I’m with you before calling her back.  I will make a list of people of who you are not to answer to, it’ll make it easier for you—us.” I hear Bella clear her throat a few times. “Is there anything else, Beautiful?”

I hear a light chuckle. “You know me so well.  Two things, one I want to know what would happen if I skipped my next class, and second, they want me to see Mr. Whitlock, Jasper, sometime today.”  I can hear in her voice there’s something more and I know this may need a face to face talk. “I am on my way to make an appointment with Jasper right now.”

I smile a little and grab my car keys.  “I coming and getting you from Jasper’s office, stay there until I arrive.”

“I will, Sir ... it’s, oh, Jacob,” Bella says.

“Well, hello there, Isabella.”

I move faster towards my car.  “Don’t speak to him.  Go into Jasper’s office and hand Jasper your cell,” I say to her, while Jacob was talking.

“I’m sorry, but he’s blocking my path.”

I let out a sigh, and start my car. 

“Who are you talking to?  Not that old guy?  Is he still fucking you?  I’m surprised he’s been able to keep himself hard around your whore ass.”

I grit my teeth together. “Shout Jasper’s name now,” I say as Jacob rattles on.  When I hear nothing coming from Bella, I put on a firm voice.  “Now, Little Girl, scream for him and hand him your cell.”

“Jasper!” I hear Bella yell.

Many of you have already figured out that Renee is not quite motherly material. We were laughing and shocked by some of the stuff said about Renee’s pink hair.  Gotta love it.  We think you’ll like the next chapter, we get to see Renee and how she treats Bella, but we will also see how Edward gives Bella the ability to stop letting Renee walk all over her.  We think you will love it, we know we did.  A lot of you are worried about Jake and Charlie as well as Tanya ... with that being said we don’t want to give away anything much, but trust by the end of the story all things will be resolved.  I think you all will enjoy Edward’s protective ways of Bella, now that he knows she is his both casually and contractually.  We hope that you love the teaser, we had to share something juicy with you.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER:

“I couldn’t tell you for how many years we’ve been married. I know it’s been a few, but it still feels like yesterday.”

I roll my eyes at Renee’s performance, because that’s what she’s doing—performing for them.

“Mr. Cullen, when were you going to tell the world about your marriage to this woman?” one of the paparazzi yells out.

I shake my head at them. “Mrs. Dwyer is not my wife; she’s the mother of my girlfriend. Mrs. Dwyer was talking about her husband, Phil Dwyer, he plays baseball.”

Renee turns and glares at me. “They know who he is. He’s the best baseball player that has ever lived.”

I glance at the paparazzi seeing they’re all trying to figure out which team he plays for. The bright one of the bunch of course starts questioning me again. “Where is the new girlfriend, Mr. Cullen? Do we get to know her name?” I smile and look beside me to see that Bella has moved to stand almost behind me.

“She’s a little camera shy, and her name is Isabella Swan. However, we have to go, her mom and step-father have had a long flight, and it’s been a few months since they’ve had a chance to visit.  As you can imagine, they want to spend some time together, so please excuse us and have a nice day.” 

I start to walk away, but see Renee has failed to move. “Push this for a second, Beautiful,” I say before walking back and grabbing Renee’s arm lightly.  “Time to go.”

She huffs at me and I give her the look which managed to only shut her up for a whole two seconds. She really is obtuse. “Look, I need to do stuff like that with the paparazzi. I know you’re just a newcomer, but I’m famous because of who I’ve married.”

Well without a doubt I think it is a clean sweep, everyone wants to either: kill, beat or maim Renee.  Nikky and I both want to thank you all for telling us all of this.  To us it means more knowing we were able to evoke those kinds of feelings in our readers, than any of you can know. 
There have been a few people laying threats about bring charges or else I will walk from the story.  I want to address that by saying, Bella is not as weak as she used to be, and trust that the cards will fall exactly as they should.  Renee’s story is set in stone for us, and we will not deviate from how we planned it.  Neither of us wants to say, Renee will go to jail and Renee will suffer this and that way ... What we want is for this story to unfold as it was and is intended to do so.  All we can say is trust in us enough to know that we will not let a story go with things unfinished. 
Now we do need to address the several comments about how Edward needed to step up and be the Dom and take control at the hospital and how Renee wouldn’t have been allowed to do what she did.  Sadly if a person is an adult and is unmarried and doesn’t have a power of attorney signed over to someone else, medical choices fall to your nearest blood relative.  Edward trying to control things would’ve most likely gotten him removed from the premises, and we’re sure you’ll appreciate how well he brings out the Dom soon.  Some questioned if the hospital would’ve kept Renee out being it was her fault, but unless the police were involved the hospital is in a hard situation. 
Finally we want to say again that we will continue to post every Sunday night/Monday morning, until the story is fully written.  Once the story is fully finished we will post twice a week until it is completely posted.  Thank you so very much for reading our story, reviewing our story and loving our story so much.
Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser: 
“I love you Mom, and want you in my life,” Bella says.

I feel my heart start to race, but I hold back the yelp that wants to come out. I’ll beg her if I have to; I need her in my life. I can’t live without this girl. She may’ve only been in my life over a short period of time, but she has quickly become everything to me.

“And I hope one day you can forgive me,” Bella says looking to me as she speaks. “But I need Edward more, a lot more. I know that I will never be enough for you or for him, no matter what I do. I know that Edward deserves so much more than what I can give him.” 

I shake my head and walk in. “Not true,” I say with a smile.

“But, here’s the thing, he’s a good man, Mom. He has such a big heart and he would never hurt me physically in any way. When—and I know it will be when—he leaves me, he will make sure that I am still okay. He makes me happy. He makes me want to live.  He’s the reason I’m still alive.” Bella’s eyes fall to my feet.

“Don’t start that silliness again, Isabella.” Renee starts chastising my girl. 

I walk right up to Renee and glare at her. “Quit treating her like a pet; she’s your daughter.”

“Say your goodbyes, Isabella. You’re coming home with Phil and me.”

Bella shakes her head. “No! I can’t and won’t leave with you. I love you Mom and I will be here when you forgive me, but I’m staying with Edward, if he’ll still have me.”

I move quickly to Bella and look into her eyes. “You’re more than enough for me. You’re so much more than I ever dreamed of. I’ll always have a place for you in my life.” I lean my forehead against Bella's.

Well no big surprise that a lot of you were not happy with the cliffhanger, yeah, expected that.  Some of you are very perceptive on future things to come as well.  There will be some BIG shockers in the next chapter, and we are super stoked to hear your thoughts on those.  Few questions we got from a scan over the reviews were: posting schedule? We post on Sundays.  What are rose and the other Cullen’s up to?  Revenge served Cullen style.  Can parents really be that asinine?  Yeah, actually they can, sad but true.  Is Tanya really that stupid?  Well, yeah, clearly she can be.  Is someone messing with Bella’s medical records? No.  Why is Charlie such a asshole to his daughter?  The answer to that will be in chapter 19.  Who let Jacob and Paul into the club and how?  Tanya, and since she worked there she knew how to get in, without being out in the open.  Wasn’t Tanya kicked out of the club?  Tanya was on a warning, but because at the time Tanya was still under Sir Stephan, her entrance card would still work.  You’re only writing around 25 chapters, can’t you write like a 100 instead?  Um, well we have other stories killing our minds, so yeah without sounding harsh, we’d rather write something new then run this into the ground and make people hate it.  I think that covers most of the questions; there are a couple questions asked that will be answered in the next chapter.  We cannot wait to read your coming comments on chapter 18!  Nikky & Kasi~

Coming up with a teaser for this next chapter was not easy because there is a lot packed into it.  So we hope that you like this: 

“You asshole,” I hear Bella scream. I turn in time to see Bella flying at Paul.  Moving quickly, I try to pull her off him and she shakes me off and keeps hitting Paul as hard as she can. As she hits him, she continues to scream calling him names and chastising him. “I fucking hate you. I really fucking hate you. I hope you rot in hell, but even that’s too good for you!”

I pull her to me again.  “Enough,” I say into her ear, but I know by the look on her face she hasn’t heard me.

“What the fuck are you laughing at, Jacob? Eh, you’re a sad pathetic loser who’ll more than likely die from a sexually transmitted disease.” Turning her head between the two of them she continues on. “Neither of you are anything or will be anything. You’ll both always be nothings! Go fuck yourself, because I really don’t think anyone else will, not willingly anyway. I won’t back down this time. I will take both of you to court. I will tell the world what you’ve done.” Jacob runs toward her and I turn us so Jacob starts hitting my back. It takes all my strength to hold on to Bella as she’s still trying to get loose. Only a few seconds pass and Jacob is pulled off of me.

Well Nikky and I both want to thank you for reading and reviewing.  All of the questions, compliments, anger (at the characters), love and kindness in the reviews is what keeps us going so strong.  SO, thank you, for reading, reviewing, sharing your stories and most of all for loving the characters—the characters who may not belong to us in name, but who we’ve taken and made into something completely different.  It is very cool to take a loved character, change them and make them different and still have people love them so much or fall in love with them all over again.   There were lots of reviews filled with questions about the newspapers and what Charlie told them.  First in regards to the newspapers, just like when Renee went all press goddess on them, the news already knows Edward.  Edward has made no secret of his lifestyle, how else would Charlie so easily have found out about Edward.  Therefore there was really nothing to put in the press, Charlie could try but it would not be front page news anyway.  Also if you remember right, Edward doesn’t really put a lot of stock into the media reports.  There are a lot of great things to come yet, so have patience and trust.  No stones will be left unturned.   Thanks again for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER: Phil and I walk into Jenks’ office. I decided that I no longer want any of this shit spoken about at the club. Bella loves the club and I didn’t want any additional bad feelings in it for her.

“Jenks, Benjamin,” I say taking a seat; Phil nods at them.

“We’ve found the last of the girls and even another case that was not dropped.” I look at them and they hand me a picture of a girl I have actually met and I’m in shock. 

“They have DNA from a brutal attack and rape of her,” Jenks says as I look over the paperwork behind the picture.

“You’ve got to be kidding me?” I say and they both shake their heads.

“Now you really need to look at this,” Jenks says handing me another stack of paperwork.

I read the papers and frown. “How the hell did he make Chief of Police?” I ask rhetorically, not really asking anyone.

“I’m really not sure on that one, but he will lose his job with all of this.”

I sigh rubbing my face. “Make it happen,” I say and stand up, walking out the door.

“Edward?” Phil yells after me.

“Phil, just let me calm myself. I’m really close to losing all of my control. The more I find out about Charlie Swan, the angrier I become with him.”

Phil nods in understanding. “There’s a boxing ring a few blocks from here, how about we get padded up and go for a few rounds?”

I sigh and look at him, but I stop myself from speaking. I can see he’s clearly as angry as I am. “Sounds good, just watch my face,” I say and I hear him chuckle.

“Yeah, Bella will kick my ass if I hurt your pretty face. Do you think she’s ready for Saturday?”

I shrug my shoulders. “We’ll work together to get her ready, and then we’ll all be there for her on the other side. No matter what, I know she needs to do this, even if I hate the idea of it.”

WOW ... what great reviews we got.  There is still redemption to come, and Karma is a dish best served cold and wet in some cases.  To settle all bad thoughts, Phil would never invite Renee or Tanya to Bella and Edward’s wedding.  Some suggested Vicky, but Vicky and James sort of have a love/hate/power-struggle of their own.  He hasn’t quite told us yet, but Vicky is more of the Domme, than submissive and James just doesn’t come across like a switch to me.  Nikky and I will give James and Vicky both closure before the end, we promise.   Some of our favorite reviews made comments about not wanting to ever piss us off, because our thoughts scare them—have to say this had us both laughing.  I’ve always said that Nikky is one of the most diabolical minded people ever, and I was once told that I am good at writing three things: crazy/dysfunctional, fighting and f*ck*ng.  With that said, there wasn’t a lot of questions we could touch on too much, but we hope after reading the next couple of chapters you’ll understand why.  Thank you as always for being such a loyal reader and for taking the time to leave us a message/review/comment—they all mean the world to us.
Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:  “Do you think we should ask what we are having?” Bella asks looking at me.

I kiss her head.  “Do you want to know?”

“Why are you answering my question with a question?”

“You think I’m answering your question with a question, but yet you do it, too.”

I chuckle and Bella frowns rolling her eyes. I quickly flick her leg and shake my finger, no, to her.

“I am happy either way, so you can choose if we know or not,” Bella huffs and then smirks at me. “Master, your girl would like you to take control and tell your girl what you want to do.”

I tilt my head at her. “Firstly, don’t switch into Dom and Sub time without my approval.  Second of all, I think we should wait, I like being surprised.”

Bella nods at me. “Thank you,” she says while kissing my cheek.

Thank you all for reading and reviewing.  We love reading all of the nice things that you all have said.  Thank you again for everything.  Some of the biggest questions we had was these:
I thought Bella was having a girl? – Bella thought she was having a girl, but Edward thought boy.
Have Charlie and Leah been involved sexually? – No, Charlie is a real yuck, but he honestly thought Leah was his daughter.
How in the world did James get away with the things he did to Jake and Paul? – Money and having influential friends does a lot in any situation.  Besides this is fiction and there are not many if any people who did not want Paul and Jake to both get a tiny taste of the stuff they all to willingly dished out to others.
Is there an Epilogue after 25 or is 25 the epilogue? – The story is 25 chapters including the epilogue, so no more after 25.
Do you have more stories coming out since this is coming to a close? – We currently have a one-shot we did for Christmas that has an epilogue yet to post.  Then we have the one-shot we are writing for Moo AH, which we will post sometime in January.  We will be starting our new story that is sort of an ugly duckling Bella story, and for a change it will be in Bella’s POV and we’re excited by this prospect.  We also have an Escort story coming soon, and it will be fantastic.  We have another story we are doing for a fandom fights program, this time it is for domestic abuse—this will be a story written with jess2002 joining us.  We also will be posting a story to the facebook group page.  The two groups it will post at are: TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction and it will post at Secluded Wings.  Everyone’s welcome, we are an adult only, drama free environment. 
Is Phil going to end up with Sue? – No, but there is a bit of a story there yet to come for them both.
I think that wraps up the majority of the questions we have been asked.  I hope that you all like this teaser it is COMPLETELY unedited, because we haven’t even gotten 24 to the beta yet—speaking of which the last 2 chapters – 24 and 25, may have a few more mistakes than normal, since we are down 2 of our team because of the holidays.

Thanks again for reading and reviewing our story, Nikky and Kasi~

Teaser:  I hold Bella’s hand as we walk in with Adam into the doctor’s office.  We’ve both been worried about today, this is his first set of injections.  “You’re sure you’re okay to hold him?” Bella asks me again as she holds Adam close to her.

“Yes, I’m okay to be the mean parent today,” I say again with a little chuckle. “Beside you don’t like shots.  Since they scare you when you get them done on you, I know this is really going to be hard on you,” I say.  I remember that I had to hold Dean for his four month shots because Rose couldn’t even be in the same room when it was getting done, and Emmett was sick.

Bella frowns at me and I chuckle kissing her lips. “It will be fine, I promise.”

“But he’s only two months and still small.”

I pull her and our son to me and hold her close as I look down at my sleeping son.

“I know, believe me, I know.  Sweetheart if weren’t important for him to have these done we wouldn’t be here.”

Bella nods and lets out a sigh.

“I really can’t believe she’s breast feeding him in public,” a woman says loudly to the other woman sitting next to her. 

Both Bella and I turn to look at her and then to a young woman about Bella’s age who is breast feeding her baby.

“These teens today have no respect, whatsoever.  They act like whores, get pregnant and then plop their breasts out for everyone to see,” the woman sitting next to the woman who first spoke replies.

I look to Bella who’s looking at the young girl that is being spoken about so rudely.

“It’s girls like her that go out lead a guy on and then cry rape when it gets taken further than they wanted.  But just look at her showing all off all her goodies here in public.  Whatever do these stupid trampy girls thinks is going to happen?”

My mouth drops open at the woman’s cold words.

“Hold our son for a second,” Bella says passing AJ into my arms as she gets up.  At first I think she’s going to the restroom but instead she turns walking directly over to the two women.

“As you seem to make sure that your thoughts were spoken loud and clear enough to everyone that’s in the room, I thought I should make my thoughts clear.  First, neither of you have any right to judge that girl on anything she’s doing.  So what, she’s feeding her baby, it’s a baby who is clearly hungry and being cared for.  If you don’t like it, then don’t flipping look!”

My eyes open even wider hearing Bella use one of her clean swear words.  I start to get up to head over to her.

Thank you so much...Bella will seem more in charge, but will have to fight to be there. Make sense?
