i still think that Mark is gonna pull something......

I love this story. I look forward to your updates each time and hope Bella will tell Edward about Mark sooooon

OH WOW...SO amazing :)  I really loved it!  Cannot wait for more!

There slice of life is just so what I wish my life were like sometimes lol. Except the issues poor Bella is dealing with. Poor girl, I just wanna reach in my pc screen and squeeze the stuffing outta her. Today I want to squeeze bree too she is good for her big bro(s).

loved it....big brother & sister time was great....maybe we could get an outtake?

wow esme and bree scaring carlisle my favorite

i love how the boys and mak and alstair come together to get papa all straighten out

bella i am glad she told someone how amrk makes her feel and that she has warned him to stay away. i have a feeling that will be news that will be helpful someday. mark makes me uncomfortable

the cullens are a strong family and i am thrilled they where able to help bella with her nightmares. very needed

Prof Ahole is right. Glad B has friends that notice. Extra eyes always help!
Great chapter & I love how they love!! Talk to me anytime!

I just knew Bella's professor would be trouble.  Unfortunately, with Esme and Carlisle away, Bella may feel the need to "go it alone" when he gets more aggressive.  She needs to introduce him to Emmett and Jasper!  Loved this update as it brings in new situations and doesn't forget the basis - Bella, Edward, their relationship and their family.  Roscoe included!  I do adore Roscoe's asides.  Thank you for the update.  :)

Loved the chapter! That professor is such a creeper!  I'm worried about Bella with Him living in the same house now. Glad they had some fun in Montreal. But now you have me worried about these nightmares. Can't wait for the next update.

Why the nightmares??  That professor needs to be taken down!  I wish Bella would tell Edward but she won't. Maybe the nightmares will make her confide in him!

man the professor freaks me out. i feel so bad for bella. i am thrilled she sticks up for herself but he is not one to take no as no

he needs a good ass kicking

i so love hope springs. i wish i lived in a town like that

montreal sounds like a blast

i love that bella is getting out there and living her life. the cullens are great for her.

wow what nightmares????

love it

This chapter had lots of fun and love, but lots of worries too.  What is the ahole professor Mark up to... I hope she gets to kick him in the nuts or something equally good (then fired). 

What with the nightmares?  Is she having prementions of bad things happening to Carlisle and Esme?  Or are they flashbacks? I know I'm going to have to wait and see but it is worrying.  More please!!!!

Loving this story and look forward to the next update.

Excellent as always

Can’t wait to see what has Bella so upset but I bet it has something to do with Mark and her past.

I put you on favorite over here at TWCS, because I have been reading over at FFN.I don’t why they just don’t put up MA rating that one has to sign into like every other site. Well I am glad that your story is over her too!

I think this was a great chapter. Please update soon.

So many emotional moments and directions!  First of all, this chapter was wonderful.  You conveyed the uncertainty, sadness, anger, angst, and unsuredness perfectly.  The brass should get a balling out.  You can not honor someone by destroying their loved ones.  I kept expecting Carlisle to look them up and threaten to pop 1 or 2 of them.  Politics!  They do need to play it!  Thanks for a marvelous read.

that was a fabulous chapter. Enjoyed it. I think you have the right emotion here.

hell of a chapter

charlie had a great bunch of friene itds and a huge support

this was great

lov

so love peter and garrett

i am so glad they where family to charlie and bella and feel bad they lost track of her. you almost think them being cops would be able to find her in the system. how sad

i am glad she knows her dad loved her so much. she was his pride and joy. and it seems her mother was a good one and a teacher. it seems she is seeing she was loved just had unfortunately been taken and thrown into a system she was lost in.

she was loved and cared for.

yeah, i lost it at the ceremony part.....that was tough :( but she's a strong girl, cause she's coping wonderfully .

Author's Response:

me too, but thank you so much for your review

The ceromony was just perfect.  The men were sweet and funny and caring. Can't wait to see we're the story goes from here.

Maria

loved the chapter looking forward to more 

the ceremony made me cry but it was an amazing chapter

Loved the chapter. Needed to take quite a few breaks as I had to wait for myself to stop crying. The ceremony was great. Love that the guys gave her the blanket that she had as a little girl. Looking forward to the next chapter. :)

Wonderful chapter although u made me cry......while at work!!! Lol.

Author's Response:

naughty girl for reading at work :)  Thank you so much for reviewing honey

OH WOW...So amazing :)

GAH!!!!!!!!!!  YES!!!  Finally!

OH WOW...SO amazing!  I really loved it! Go Bella and Edward :)

OH WOW...SO amazing!  I am SO happy Bella is ok :)

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!

OH WOW...so intense!  I really loved it and almost cried.  Cannot wait for more!

OH WOW...that was amazing!  I really loved it!  So happy she is going back to school!  YAY!  Also, happy she and Roscoe are getting along :)

OH WOW...SO amazing!  I really loved this!  I am worried about Bella :(  Found a little error, here, ", before her dad married Alice's father."  Shouldn't it be "Alice's mother" instead of "father"?  Just curious ;)

Amazing chapters!  So very ricin emotion and detail!  Sorry not to have reviewed sooner to them, but our family was away on vacation.  RL and settling in are taken care of and I finally had a chance to sit and catch up on the last few chapters - I like to take my time with these and savor.  Bella is growing and you do her real credit as a character.  She is never perfect, nor is she fallible. She is human and a human in growth at that.  Her fear and eating with church is a perfect example.  I do so love Brady!  Wouldn't it be lovely if he always called her, "My Belle"?!  Again, thank you for giving your readers such quality work.  I adore it!

OH WOW...that was amazing!  I really lvoed it!  So happy the baby is doing fine for now...hope that continues :)  I also love that they are an organic farm!  YAY!  Cannot wait for more!

I loved Peter and Garrett.  I cried as I read that part. Can't wait for the next update.  Will we find out what is in the cedar chest?

Maria

OH SNAP!  I really love this!  I hope he runs after her and that her baby is alright...please?!

Oh Michele, where do you find your pictures to go along with this story. They are wonderful. I love how confident she has become and yet still retains that bit of an edge. Charlies friends are awesome I hope she gets to keep in touch with them.

loved it! the dinner with garett and peter was so amazing! great job!

That was lovely... Bella meeting some of her Dad's old friends.  I wonder what they have saved for her.

I'm not sure if the system works the way you have written, but it's a terrible thing that friends of the family couldn't locate that little orphan girl.

love it,, always look forward for updates,, even got my daughter reading,,

Love love love this story.

wonderful birthday and after.    awww fro meeting Peter and Garrett

loved the addition of photo's

OMG! Are you okay? There is no such thing as minor surgery, it is still surgery. I hope that you are doing well. 

Great chapter, Im so happy they are doing well... I hope no more terrible angst is in their immediate future, but only you know for sure.

all the little pushes and nudges help, there will be backlash but she'll move forward afterwards....i hope you are feeling better and will recover quickly

wonderful chapter.  glad b is working through her fears.

Wonderful chapter and I love the church part and Bella's fear. How you were able to move that section through the way you did was great. Sorry you were sick but nice to have my favorite story updated.

Just this week, every time I got a TWCS update in my mail I was going this is it...Hope Springs, then I got worried. Thank goodness you are okay, hope you are recovering quickly. What a wonderful chapter. She is growing so much as a woman and as a member of a large and loving family. Edwards patience is awe inspiring. Looking forward to next chapter and hopes for you to feel better soon.
