You do know that you are a freaking genius, right?  I am in total awe on how you come up with that much what I call 'meat' for a story!!  Its enough to have an idea in mind but to fill that idea up with drama, humor, angst, lemons ectera ectera ectera is mindboggling how you do it?  I sat down with an intent to write on one of my measley stories and saw that this had updated and Ive been reading for 2 hours off and on on this ONE page.  How many words in this by the way anyway?!!!  You freaking rock sister!!!  MINDBOGGLING, hear me?????

Hugs, Stephanie

*oh, fantastic chapter by the way if you didn't realize that was what I was trying to get across!  HA!

I loved this chapter. So much happened, I don't know were to start. I loved that Bella stood up for herself. It was about time. I loved her new vehicle. Edward went a little overboard, but she took it better than I thought. I love Brian and Anderson. He will always be Anderson to me. I am glad they are moving with them to the ranch. I can see all of their kids growing up together.

This chapter was not only funyym but sweet and cute, and Finally Bella got to let people know exactly how things were going to go and no one would be changing it...... I cant wait to see how this car fiasco works out. Im thinking a sex ban or she will use the toys without him and just go on about her everyday life..... Keep up the great work.

as always awsome chapter

Who are the actresses you have with the picture that is supposed to be Angela, Lauren and Suzi?  How would Angela and Lauren even know Suzi, let alone end up at that Spa?

Awesome chapter! Love the mix of strength and vulnerability. You had me snickering about the car and Bella's rection. It's great to see Edward finally letting Brian be a friend as well as employee.

Damn, even with babies on board these two are hot as hell!!!  I wish my pregnancies had been like that.  Mine were more like 'touch me and the offending apendage will be dipped in bronze and mounted on the wall'.

I love the idea that Jasper and Edward will be going into business together and Bella and Alice will still be so close.  Just the thought  of it all is amazing!

And I love that Carlisle proposed to Esme again.  It was amazingly sweet!!!!

You always do such an amazing job with these chapters.  I don't know how you are able to do anything else but write!!!

XOXO

Bella's voice chapter, wonderful.   Loved the car scene, and I do wonder what Rosalie and Alice will make of there cars!

This was areally a fun chapter to read. Loved the way Bella has finally come into her own person. Edward was hysterical. Bomb, bullet proofing, what a hoot. Juat wait until the babies are born. Oh my.

Oh my that was so good... I am going back and read it again. I was so proud of Bella when she told those bitches off. And loved how Edward showed her how much he loves her. Thanks for sharing.

go bella!!  ed you are soo F-ing HOT!!!!

Hiya - left a review on FF and then thought on it more - I know we are all high-fiving B for putting on her big girl panties and standing up for herself but I especially like that she also let Ang have it - Ang really did screw her over and "old" B would have forgiven her in a heartbeat. I liked hat she called her ass out!

It gives me good feelings re the future - as we all know - don't mess with my kids and I have a feeling E and B are going to be major Papa and Mama Bears!  Can't wait - and did I mention how much I love the "possums"????

Best ~ A

I am enjoying "Her Master's Jewel" as well.  Its just getting started but very well done so far.

As always I love how B&E love each other and support each other.  I love how Bella told off those bitches, I would have loved it to go on longer just for the satisfaction of hearing her tell them off (it would have been over kill... I know).  I hope Angela can somehow redeem herself and become strong without those idiots.

I teared up a bit when Edward left for LA.  This separation will be difficult for both of them.  I just hope nothing does happen during this time, but I am worried. 

Thanks so much for the update.

As always a pleasure to read about these two crazy lovebirds.  

I was very proud of Bella for standing up to those biatches, about time she stood up for herself.

That spa place sounded amazing,. If I ever win the lotto I am going to find one just as luxurious and stay for weeks, hell I might even move in. lol 

Thank you for clarifying the relationship Kate and Garrick have, it was good to see him being "nice" to his Mrs.  It will be interesting to see how their D/s relationship works after the baby is born and grows into a child.  He will need to moderate his Dom behaviour and she will need to keep her kink confined. 

Once again thank you for the chapter.

Take care.

Hugs Caro.

great chatper again! excited to see what happenes next and how they are going to do away from eachother ! 

Glad Edward went back to see Paul. He and Bella know firsthand that therapy works for them.

I adore how Edward made every effort he can to be with Bella while he meets his obligations in LA. He is so attentive to her needs while at the same time addressing his own needs and fears.

I do hope Bella’s new wardrobe helps her be more comfortable in her new shape. 

I love how Emmett is able to step up and settle Edward as best he can. The entire family will suffer from their own forms of ptsd over not distant enough events. Taking concrete steps to guard against further problems is all they can do.

Waking on Valentine’s has to be among the top most romantic moments EVER! He is such an incredibly loving and thoughtful man. And then the trip! *swoon* The man just continues to exceed himself.

It was incredible seeing Bella go from reacting to the bitch at lunch for feeding into Bella’s insecurities to dinner where she reached deep within and stood up to Lauren and her bitch troop in the restroom. *yea Bella!*

Very nice to see the forming friendship with Dana. Always nice to have another girl friend to turn to.  They seen to be new friends with a bond that will feel like old friends.  So sad that Angela allowed herself to be led woefully down the wrong path.

Thrilled to have Anderson back on duty! He is a brother to Bella and she will be comforted by his presence, particularly when Edward is away. So exciting that he and Brian will be moving with them to the ranch!  Who better to head security than those who already have such wonderful rapport with.

Enjoyed the insight into how things are progressing ‘back on the farm’ *wink*. So much is happening at once; Edward’s score of the movie, the possums’ development, their new homes at the ranch, Rose’s pregnancy, Kate’s pregnancy, there is a lot to keep up with. Having snippets of each is a wonderful inclusion for a incredibly well rounded story. 

Aaand of course continuing to visit Edward and Bella in lust is a good thing too!  Had to laugh at Anderson and Brian’s decision making attempts *hee hee*. Rock paper scissors? Really? How old are those two? Not that I’d blame them.  Who would want to volunteer for THAT duty? Seriously, there had to be MAJOR lust vibes being emitted from that house.

Loved the juxtaposition of Bella’s gift of a photo with Edward’s buying a pretty tank!  Maybe it is a good thing he’s in LA.  I have to wonder if the timing was really a coincidence or if the sneaky man planned it that way...

Loved this nicely long chapter!!!! I was loving the feeling that I was never going to get to the end!

OMG I was ROFL so hard at scaredyward!!!! And poor Anderson to get banned from the house just for knowing about it like what could he have done anyways lol

Wow, that was AMAZING!  Even if I was really hoping to find out what the Possums were in this chapter, I loved every bit of it!  So happy Bella FINALLY stood up to the bullies of her past!  YAY!  I also loved Dana/Reese, perfect!  Cannot wait to see what happens next!

Damn, I want to work at Rocking Horse Ranch!!  It sounds beautiful...  I love that they're moving.  Really liked this chapter... it was nice.

First I am so sorry that I have negleted this story but it is NOT because I am bored its just that there is so many stories out there that I cant keep up anymore. lol.  I am following over 170 on this site alone.  ok as for the chapter it was EXCELLENT.  I think Edward was being a real ass but I LOVE that he was able to break down and cry.  I wanted to cry when he  thought he couldn't get an erection.  Because I knew it was all mental plus side effects from the meds.  I loved this chapter.  I know they will get back there and I cant wait.  Now for FIORELLA  I hope you are better and I LOVE that you take the time to give us the REC'S  I have already put them on my alert so I can start reading them sometime.  Now you wanted a rec also and its a friend of mine and this also is Edward as an FBI agent I dont know if its like the one you are looking for but I have read this story completely and it is WONDERFUL.  I did wish there were more lemons or more details I should say but even without I think it is a great Story.  Its called Prom Night by Piper528 http://www.thewriterscoffeeshop.com/library/viewstory.php?sid=4756  If you do read it let her know I sent you please.  She doesn't have very many readers because I just introduced her to TWCS so please help her out.  Thanks.

i can't believe Edward was going to challenge Charlie......lol. i love the idea of the ranch :) still a lot of months left for Bella's hormones to go all wacky and piss Edward off.....lol

LOVE LOVE LOVE this chapter. You did a great job with Jasper and his feelings for this land. I could just feel how excited Jasper was. LOVE that Carlisle and Esme are working through everything. I was surprised that Carlisle ask her to renew their vows. Love how they were making their kids uncomfortable. lol!!!!!! I laughed at Edward and all the "stuff" he thought was unnesscary for the babies. I can not wait to see how he is with his kids. lol. I am soooooo loving this story. GREAT GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<3

thanks an awsome chapter

Amazing. Love Bella and how fast she has a melt down. Edward was crazy to try and confront Charlie... Thank god for Em and jazz. The ranch is going to be so exciting. Thanks

I always wanted a sprawling ranch. 

:)

great stuff!  your chapters are really long compared to other stories, so no need to apologise x

Wow, that was AMAZING! :)  I really loved it!  So happy for Carlisle and Esme!  As well as everyone else building their homes on such a beautiful property!  Will Edward and Bella be finding out if they are having boys/girls or one of each?  Cannot wait for them to find out :)

Shorter? No a lot happened this chapter. I of course loved it and look forward to more. :) can't wait for daddy Edward to get there. :D thanks again bye for now

Pregnancy hormones!  They are fabulous!

I'm excited about the new property!  I can see more temper tantums in their future... especially when it come to dealing with contractors. LOL

Thanks for much for the update, I can wait to see what you have in store for them next.

ok..I have one small but significant problem with the chapter.  I'm being serious here.

It could be that I'm from Texas and used to everything being bigger in Texas.........LOL...........but.....I just really HONESTLY don't think 75 acres is enough land for what all they are wanting to do!

Ok....E&B and J&A houses.....I'm guessing they are going to be big at least 5,000 square feet I am assuming.....even with multiple floors, their houses are going to sit on at least 2-3 acres of land.  Then, factor in swimming pools and yard space for playing, gardens, garages and driveways....that's going to take up about 10 acres per house.

Then, you'll need at least another 2 acres per barn....if you want working pens around the barn to catch the horses, work the horses, vaccinate the horses, etc.

You'll also need a security head quarters...a house of some sort that will need approximately 2 acres of land. 

Also, cottages....so that will be 1-2 acres of land per cottage. 

You'll need several pastures to be able to move the horses around so that they won't wear down the pastures/meadows that they are grazing from.  You'll also need pastures/meadows for baling hay.  Depending on the grass/rain/grasshoppers, etc.  if you want to bale hay....most people around here that are horse people don't bale their own hay......they get it from people in small square bales so they can feed a little at a time....and then they get Alfalfa from the northern states.......if you want to have them grazing...they could  be stall horses that stay in stalls most of the time....

you can get about 2 good sized round bales of hay an acre on a good year (around here right now you're lucky if you get a half a bale)......so if they are going to want to bale their own hay...you are going to need to have several acres of land to be able to bale....and then at that, I would want my pastures to not touch...in case of fire or bugs eating the crop.

So....I think for all you have written in this chapter you would need at least 50-75 acres of land for the houses, barns, cottages, working pens, etc.  Then another 25 for farm use.....hay baling...If you wrote where they would bale their own hay.

Then each horse needs about umm....a good 1-2 acres per horse, depends on the horse and like I said before...depending on the type of horse ranch...you might just want them to be in stalls the whole time and have elaborate barns. 

So, I would say you need a lot more than just 75 acres.....plus some of those acres are woodsy.  I would say you need at least 100 acres.....but that is just me and I am from TEXAS baby!  We like lots of BIG land and WIDE OPEN spaces!

Let me know what you think!
Too over the top for ya?!?!?! LOL!

Here is the deal, you may not always answer reviews, but you write 10,000+words per chapter and that is worth reading.

Some writers write 1200 words and at the end they say no updates until I get 20 reviews.. How in the heck do  you review that few words?  You can not develop any thing!

Just keeps right on getting better and better!

Awesome chapter.

You’re such an amazing writer and these characters are beautifully written; please, please, please tell me that you’re going to write a sequel?

I love your story.  I love your characters.  I love Em. You have caught his character to perfection.  I love Alice, God I love Alice in this story, she is everything I have imagined. Of course I love Edward and Bella, but you have made each character so real, so flawed, so beautiful.  Your story makes me sigh, it makes me cry, it makes me laugh so hard that I can't see the words and have to cross my legs so I don't pee my pants! When I started this I thought "70" chapters? But now, I can't stand the thought that its going to end.  The last 10 chapters I just watch the slider and think I one more line closer to this ending and it makes me sad. You have handled the BDSM well, some of it a little tough for me to take, not into all of that, so would like to deck him sometimes, but then you show his "aftercare" and his love and devotion and gotta admit If it were really Rob tying me up, might have to try it!  KEEP WRITING, do a sequel I don't care, I just don't want to let go of these beautiful characters that you have brought to life!  Thank you for this story!  Cheri a/k/a "Robaholic" PS Love the pictures!

E&C definitely need an outtake!

Thanks for the update, great chapter. Fun and sad to read, very much tearjerker.

This was an amazing chapter. I am so glad that Carlisle got Esme back on track. That lady was crazy for awhile. I hope she does seek therapy,but I also see a paddling in her future as well. I think Carlisle needs to turn one of the cottages into a playhouse. It looks like the big house will need all the spaces for grandchildren.

That was an amazing chapter. Your writing is wonderful you make us feel everything they are wheather it is happiness, pain , sad good bad... Ect... Wonderful how you ended the chapter with all the baby news. I hope Esme gets the help she needs and together maybe Esme and Bella could help each other.. Thanks for sharing your amazing chapter.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for your review and comments.

I got so giddy at the end with Bella and Edward sharing their news...now Em and Rosie are having another...WOW!!

I'm glad Esme and Carlisle got their shit together, but I find Esme's situation almost like Bella's...I hope they can help each other out...I think Esme talking to someone is great and having someone who has gone through the same things, kind of, will help both of them...

I really love this story...have been reading it forever, sorry if I don't leave comments that much, but I totally get lost in this story and I forget...keep up the awesome work!!!!

:)

what a rollercoaster ride of a chapter! am so glad that Carlisle and Esme made up.  what you said about pride getting in the way of things is so true.  we're complicated arent we!!

Em.. oh EM.. lol

Michele - you are just so awesome.  Another epic chapter that was so worth the wait.  I don't know if I can handle a chapter about the parents.  Might be too weird for me.  But I know I don't want to hear about Emmets swimmers. 

Great Bella insights.  Really great.  loved the paul therapy session.  He really got to Edward. 

thank you so much for continuing this amazing story.

Loving the story! ... Do you have any idea approximately how far into the story we are at this point?

Aww...I am so glad that things got wrapped up in one chapter and that Esme and Carliese are on the road to recovery.  Loved the "homing swimmers" line too ;).  And, yes, why is it that one baby always sparks a boom?  It was that way at my work when I had my first... I was the last of like 8 of us.  I loved how Jasper picked up on Bella being pregnant, he's so sweet.  Edward is cracking me up with this whole pregnancy thing... never mind if he'll survive it, Bella just may kill him before it's over, hee hee.  I am waiting for the "paps" to find out and start stalking Bella.  Also, I have to wonder if the "Oscar worthy script" Garrett mentioned will have Edward acting sooner than he thought and how that will work with the twins birth?  Hmm...

Lovin this story and bouncing in my seat anxiously waiting for more!

Quite the roller coaster ride here! Wow. The mind is still spinning. It was amazing to watch the situation with Carlisle and Esme unfold. As well as to see the 'kids' reactions to it all. I felt so sad for Esme when she began to reveal her childhood insecurities. Too often we do take the aproach of 'it's over, move on' when that is the worst thing to do.

Carlisle has an amazing support system in Garrett, his sons and now Charlie. Esme has the girls but kept everything inside until it nearly consumed her. I am glad that after talking with Edward she realizes she should seek counseling.

I believe too, Esme needs to realize the strength she has in her family. Her daughters are a blessed gift. She knows how similar Bella's emotions are, she just denied this to herself.

It was no surprise that Carlisle had the grand-daddy of anxiety attacks over all of this. Marital issues are stressful, dividing the family, and at Christmas of all times! It was a blessing that the family had chosen to invade Forks. The big reveal was spectacular, especially when Emmett failed to keep quiet as to their own expanding family.

I liked that Jasper was observant enough to discover Bella's pregnancy on his own. Of course the women would all have known too had they been near. Emmett's mention of homing sperm was so Emmett. I enjoyed the 'bigger boat' reference :-)
