yes that was the way of it when babies were born in that time. So many mistakes in not surrounding a woman with her husband and perhaps anothe relative that she wishes.

Shit, they are going to do something with the child, or they could do away with Isabella during the birth.  Stealing the child and saying that it was dead.  I think that if the Queen orders her husband to be present for the birth then no one would question her for her word is above all others.

I want to know what Aro and his crew were talking about with all the different nobles.  Why is Edward not getting to the bottom of this?  He is concerned, but he brushes it under the carpet.  He needs to be vigilant not passive.

Billy and Jacob....While their intentions are to expose Edward as a fraud and to probably scure Jacob's hand with Bella after Edward is gone, I do not want to see Edward hurt Bella, but at least someone is looking out for the welfare of the Queen even if it is for personal gain.

Damn, I can't believe the way I am thinking at this moment.  



Author's Response:

They're acting dangerously, because the best way to protect her is staying in her good graces, something you can't do from the dog house...Edward is true to her even if he's ill advised.  Here is this week's tease:

 

Various members of the Court were present as Emmett of Cullen knelt before the Queen as a man of no lands or title and rose as the Count of Eastbury.  Once the ceremony is complete, Emmett entered the council meeting to lay out his plan.  Peerages in the south held nothing more than small farms meant to sustain the family living there would be given the same aid they had been.  Meanwhile, the manor houses would be aided in better running of the land they set to farming so that they could hope to feed their people better.  Any excess of a particular type of crop would be sent on to the capital for the distribution throughout the country and any peerage that had a surplus, as the northern lands usually did, would be properly compensated.  

 

With the better techniques outlined for distribution to those who ran larger farms and the plan for the parceling off of the food produced, the Count planned to depart for his new county the following morn so that he might set up house and begin to learn about the mines which were  his peerage’s main contribution to the country’s economy.

Hope Edward comes clean to Isabella. Knowledge is power and if they have any hope of surviving...in all ways...they must be 100% honest & open with each other. Lack of trust is the first brek in the crumbling of a marriage & a monarchy.

Author's Response:

He knows his uncles shut up Stefan, but actually Stefan was just a big mouth, the Baron's didn't want him talking at any point...he almost ruined everything for them.  Here's the tease:

 

As the final touches were put on the holiday decorations adorning every surface in the castle, the keening wails of the former Count of Eastbury could be heard in every inch of the Tower and the dungeons below.  His fate was quickly sealed by the evidence against him and his silence when asked any type of questions by the Duke of Blacklake, who was asked to preside over the matter by the Queen.

His execution was stayed until the New Year, giving Edward a chance to get his answers on one evening while his wife was in council.  Slipping into the Tower, he entered Stefan’s cell, looming over the man’s sleeping form.  Putting a hand over his mouth, Edward shook him awake, seeing at once the terror in his eyes.

Here's the tease:

 

The spirit of the festival flowed nicely into the Christmas preparations, which had Lady Alice running around trying to get everything underway.  Isabella had informed her that the Christmas Eve feast would be when they revealed her pregnancy to the nobility and that gave Alice another reason to make it spectacular.

Going out into the city, Alice had children making dried berry garlands to be wrapped around fresh greens, the butchers and anglers were being pushed to provide the best they could for the feast.  Every detail was being discussed with the King and Queen, who were happy to see that she was being creative in not only how she was involving those who lived in the capital, but also her use of the funds she had.

As December slowly started to fade, the choices of the nobles about where they would spend the holidays were starting to become known.  Younger nobles like Michael of Newton and Tyler of Crowley would be staying at Court because the women they were hoping to marry in the New Year were still in the service of the Queen.

Meanwhile, the Barons were some of the first to make the trip home, but not before taking the leave of their Monarchs.

Admirable that Edward wants what is best but I'm thinking he'd be better off telling Bella the truth about his uncles so that they can better prepare.

Great chapter.

Of course he's be better off, but what a story that would be...thank you for the review, and i hope you like the tease:

 

“I know, love.  I do too.  Alice is the only one who believes in me completely.  Even her father eyes me cautiously from time to time before he thinks better of it.”  Edward’s eyes fell to the bedding before Isabella could tilt his head up.

“I believe in you too, husband.  They just don’t know you like we do.”

A loud commotion outside the door broke their private moment as Edward reached for his sword.  The rumbling continued until the door opened to reveal Alice and Carlisle, with General Whitlock standing by the remainder of the guard.

“Alice?”  Edward and Isabella shouted as the sword dropped from his hand.

Alice flew to Isabella’s side, hugging her tightly as Carlisle moved to Edward.  The General entered the room, staying back as the doors closed to allow the private moment.

“Lady Alice, I should throw you in the Tower for worrying me so,” Isabella threatened through her tears.

“Is something wrong with the Queen?” Carlisle asked as the women chattered away.

“She was heartsick for her friend; we both were, if truth be told.  Alice is a dear friend to me as well with how she has always treated me fairly,” Edward admitted, letting his eyes glance in the direction of Jasper.

“Well then it seems I discovered the balm for her soul just in time. "

I really like it so far!!! Hope that James and Vitoria won't be the villains... And I'm really curious what Edward will do about his uncles - will he have to fess up to Bella?



Author's Response:

Edward's reveal will come with some of the answers to your other questions there are a lot of people that are assumed to be bad that aren't, and others that are overlooked that are very bad!  It's fun to watch the guesses...here's your tease:

He needs to kill his uncles before they try to kill his wife and I hope that James is a lolay to Edward as he thinks.



Author's Response:

I don't see him acting that rashly, but the question of the chapter is whether or not James is a good boy.  Time will tell...the teaser is below.

Thanks for jumping on the "hate James" bandwagon that this chapter created.  Love the reviews as always.  Here's the teaser:

I am trying to figure out how an heir would make the Queen expendable.  I am waiting for Aro to play his cards and see how Edward will handle the situation.  I am also now suspicious of James.  I think that James was a plant by Aro to keep tabs on his nephew.  The introduction of Victoria is very suspicous to me.



Author's Response:

If the Queen is out of the way, they feel that they could get Edward to see their way, with a blood royal in their pocket.  As to your other questions, time will tell...and below is your teaser:
