loved the chapter! 

I hope people don't get offended that the chapter was mostly about carlisle and esme.  I think that this story is an EXCELLENT story.  In fact, it is one of my all time favorites! 

I think the other character plots in this story help MAKE the story so AWESOME!

So kudos to you!

It was a great chapter!

And yes I am a mommy, well I have been for almost 2 years now, but my second son was born on Monday.  He weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 20 inches long.  He is perfect and everything is going well.  My other surgeries went well.  I am getting better every day, a little stronger every day and it hurts less and less to move.  Thank GOD for pain killers.

Take care!

im glad that they have made up! excited to see what happens next chatper 

Baby Boom indeed.   glad Car and Es are back to gether.  She does need a therapist too it seems.

outtake for sure... an annoyed Carlisle...hot

glad things worked out with esme and carlisle.  good to see the family together again.  wow em and rose got right to work!  thanks for the update

Michele~

OMFG!!!  Sounds like BABY CENTRAL!!  Woot! Woot!  I just love it. 

You are so amazing.  WOW!  You always leave me wanting and needing more from these characters.  I am just love this story so much.  You have a wonderful talent, and I know I am not alone in saying that. 

Thanks for all the warm fuzzies you send me too, they are always appreciated.

Kasi~ xoxoxo

PS....you are really killing it with these 30,000+ chapters...hooofda lady where do you get the time???  LOL  <3  :-)

Fuck....I cried like a damn baby! Your writing never ceases to amaze me. I dont know how you do it but you ROCK! Keep up the great work and thank you from the bottom of my twisted heart that you give us the time and effort in writing for us. Thank you.....thank you!

Hey, just so you know...when you first posted on the 17th I didn't get the whole chapter.  I had been having problems reviewing stories since I upgraded to Internet Explorer 9, so I tried accessing the story through Firefox and the whole thing was there.  I was able to review and got your response too!  Anyways... it may not have been you if you are using Internet Explorer 9. Ü 

That was one crazy emotional roller coaster from every side!!!! I'm seriously afraid of what's gonna happen during the holidays. I hope none of it stresses Bella out, she has to relax. I'm thrilled about the twins and "possums" that is the cutest thing ever!!!! Esme's gonna think that B & E are taking sides....not good :(

Emmett, Rose, Alice and Jasper better work on Esme. I can't believe she is being so unforgiving. Carlisle went a little crazy in the heat of the moment. He has appoligized. What else can he do? Bella and Edward have to work on Carlisle. They have to make him open for a reunion. He has harden his heart from the cold shoulder. Edward's and Bella's news is wonderful, but keeping the parents together is much more important at this moment. The babies have awhile to grow. They are in a holding pattern. The parents won't wait. They are starting to say things that they will regret.

I love this story I will be sad to see it end but maybe you can do a sequel.  Bella seemed kind of shocked that she was pregnant I'm curious to see where you are going to g with her reaction since she already knew it was a possibility that she might be.

A baby! Oh my goodness! I fear they are not emotionally stable enough as a couple to handle that! I hope I'm wrong.

Well, it happens and usually over stupid stuff.  They need to talk. Esme needs to at least open up to him even if she does not like what he says.  This will end badly.

That's awesome!

Fall Pregnant?  FALL Pregnant? How on earth do you FALL PREGNANT. 

Honey, you don't fall into anything.

Seriously. Just ... No. OK?

I am fairly sure I am not going to be able to review again but just wanted to say. Wonderful stuff.  They are all totally bonkers. 

Isn't Esme Carlisle's submissive? Why hasn't he just taken a Dominant hand with her and sorted this out long ago?

AWESOME CHAPTER.YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW ALL THESE WONDERFULL PEOPLE.

THIS IS ONE EPIC STORY OF LOVE PRIDE AND PASSION.

thanks for the update...loved it. i m due n 9 days and thankfuly was never really sick all that much!

Thanks for the repost...it was so satisfying and much more up to your usual standards!  Love the mood swings...as the mother of twins I can remember that feeling of disbelief when the doctor told us that we were having twins and not remembering much else after!  As usual this chapter did not disappoint. Love this family.

Wow "intense" doesn't even being to describe that chapter. Fantastic as always.

So funny seeing that Edward has totally lost his shit over the news of TWINS!!!  Not that I blame him...but leaving Bella in the car while he downed Patron????  LOL!

ROTF:

A horrible thought struck Edward then, What if there were more than two babies inside her?  Could she be having like a litter?

Dayum!  The situation with Carlisle and Esme?  Okay, yes, perhaps, she should be upset with C hitting Jasper but really?  To this extent?  They should be laughing about it now because it is funny.  That Carlisle decked his son-in-law for having sex with his own wife which threw her into labor??  That's funny!!!

LMAO:

Bat shit crazy; one of them was going to be bat shit crazy within nine months and he did not think that it would be Bella!

Yeah, me too:

He wondered what Bella and Carlisle were talking about and why they had excluded him.

Dayum!  What happened with mild mannered Carlisle??  I cannot WAIT to read what happens next!!!!

Awesome chapter!!!

Keye

Ok so apparently I did not see anything wrong with what you posted before..lol... But I loved this update even more.... What in the hell Car... Esme is going to kill Edward and Bella now... Bella is going to freak when she wakes up from her nap....

I can totally understand why Isabella was not enraged to find out that Renee was not her mother but, instead, felt relief!!!

Esme and Carlisle were cracking me up at the gym.  Good for them for keeping "fit" in more ways than one.  *snicker*

Awwww...you just have to love Brian and Andy for taking care of Edward and Isabella!!!!

Nice birthday.  And wow...they are going 24-7??

Can't wait to see what that conversation was all about with Alice and Isabella!

Keye

Yikes. What a calamity at the hospital! Emotions sure were running high. Yeesh. Carlisle, really? Did you need to punch poor Jasper. You know he thinks the sun rises and sets in Tinks tiny little finger. Really now.

I love love loved the retreat. Given how the week began for Edward and Bella, it was a super outlet for their worries and concerns. Yeaaaa for Garrett and Kate!!! And hooo boy, just wait for the combined news to break at Cullen Crest!! Can't wait.

What a struggle, going from a pair of perverted nymphos to abstinence! Ouch. I think the road trip was totally inspired. Bless a loving, thoughtful, connected family!

Wha, wha, what?? How the hell? Just what sort of stunt did Renee pull and how the hell did Charlie not know??

Must say, thank you for no cliffy! What a mess! For a time I had wondered what became of Victoria, but then forgot with all the events and activity of their lives. For a brief moment I thought it was Renee out to cause trouble. Guess we are still waiting to learn what was in Phil's letter.

Yaaaay! The (first) baby has arrived!! I loved the cozy contemplation by both Edward and Bella. Emmett's ractions were a nice touch, both before and post delivery.

I cannot imagine someone as high strung as Alice needing to deal with the circus she wanted for her wedding PLUS the hormones of pregnancy! Yikes. This sure seemed to do justice to her personality. I liked how Bella was able to assume control of the situation and handle each crisis so smoothly.

i was impressed how smoothly Bella handled being collard while they were at Cullen Crest. Nice to see the progression of their complicated relationship.

What a crazy emotional chapter. Charlie and Sue's wedding was a joy. Seth is a fun addition to the mix for sure. I am glad Billy was included.  Despite the horrors his son inflicted on the Cullen family, it was not Billy's doing.  As Charlie's friend they found the way around the horrors Jacob's of behavior and did not allow it to drive them apart.

I adored how Edward and Bella were of one mind during the service. Convincing Bella to set a date was rather easily done.  Edward's reaction and the entire family's arrival in their room was splendid.

Ooooh Alice!! Kate saw and suspected.  You silly girl, you have watched Rosalie expanand and yet you did not consider that your wedding dress would not fit??  This is going to be one incredibly busy year for the Cullen family!!

Gotta love that man! Flying everyone in for a surprise engagement party was wonderfully done.  One day soon, Bella is going to have to accept that her little brother is grown up.

What a wonderful exibition opening, even if the coordinator had no clue as to the needs of the artist in question. Sooo glad the guys were able to make it after all. Despite her new grown up attitude, Bella would have surely been disappointed had her man been unable to be there at her side.

It only made sense for Bella to be sad at the sale of her prize pieces. She poured so much of herself into their creation, she must feel she has sold her first born!

*hee hee* Loved the Thumper bit!

Poor, silly, worried, frantic Emmett. Thank heavens for Bella's level headedness. Sending him to his father was the best thing anyone could have done! Guess the pics of Em hugging Bella and Edward hugging Rosalie didn't amount to much afterall.

I loved seeing Bella stand up to Heidi! The awards were so well done. A long busy night for all. Bless Edward for such a sweet private proposal! FINALLY!! Bet Charlie was over the moon himself. Can't wait for the rest of the family to learn this.

It was good to see Edward react so calmly and apologise for sharing mom's escapade with Emmett after Bella asked him not to.  Shit! Hope Carlisle didn't hold any guilt over Bella's concerns. Though it would seem he had much else on his mind during and after the chat with Bella...

*SQUEEE!!!* Bella might have to reevaluate her opinion of her own talent. Yikes. Can't wait for the news to be shared with the family!! So exciting.

I am glad Edward quickly cleared up any misconceptions Bella had about the film keeping them apart. She must be reminded that they are a team and he will not choose work if it means keepeing him from his woman. Now that she doesn't have a job that requires her presence in one place she is flexible enough to follow her man anywhere they want to be.

I love the relationship of the family as a whole. When they are all together, it seems a normal day becomes special for the sharing of it.

Oohh. This day will prove interesting with Edward's extra play time!

What a relief to have the legal noose removed from over their heads. The media vultures might still haunt them, but they always shall for one reason or another. I enjoyed seeing their sessions with Paul. He is quite insightful and knows just what to do and say to evoke the greatest results from his patients.

I am glad Jasper sought out Bella and they made up. Gee, did Alice really have to make up for her time grounded all in one day's shopping! Lucky the girls feet didn't fall off.

Silly Edward, he really can be clueless about a woman's reactions sometimes. Here he is trying to encourage weight gain on his underweight woman yet he makes jokes about her gain. Foolish man, that could have really backfired on Bella's psyche. Luckily, she reacted like any healthy, insulted woman would by torturing him for a few hours! I loved the responses Edward received from his brothers and father *hee hee*, great fun there.

Hmmmm. Seems both Edward and Bella managed to find away around Paul's assignment for their weekend. Quite nicely too it would seem.

Healing from the cutting of words or behavior takes time, but our couple seems to be finding marvelous ways to mend their spirits and minds. Was glad to see Edward's chat with Carlisle; they too needed to discuss the fuckery from that night.

It will be good for all to begin counseling. I too am curious as to the whole Alice and Bella 'grounding' given their pending public appearances.  It might be the men went off half cocked *grins* in the punishment of their women.

I enjoyed Edward's flip out to Mandy and the trio of witches! The women had pushed beyond the boundaries of both common courtesy and the rules of their own society. Just because something has always been accepted or overlooked does NOT mean it is right. Edward made it VERY clear that he will tolerate no such behavour towards either himself or his beloved sub. In the future I believe that he would pursue whatever means available to have these women cast out for this behavior.

I must say it would have been soooo much better had Alice not ever kept this from Jasper. That being said, I hope the guys punish and forgive their girls so they can learn from their behavior. So long as they are anguishing in guilt, I do not believe that they will be able to reflect and learn.

I think perhaps Carlsisle and Esme's favorite gifts this holiday is when Bella called them 'Daddy C' and 'Mom'!

I loved the carol picnic! Of course, living in New England, THAT is NOT an option!! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed their holiday. To me, Christmas is supposed to be a crowded, loud, happy time for all.

So glad Charlie summoned the courage and expressed his confusion and concerns about Bella's lifestyle choice to Garrett and Carlisle. He needed to know the answers or the questions would haunt him when he returned home.

I adored their gifts for each other!! Each got as much pleasure in the giving as the recipient did, maybe more. I shall be eager though to see Edward's reaction to his more personal gifts!

WTF?!?  Did you say 5?  5 Chapters????  That is all that is left?  That isn't enough, not NEARLY enough!  What the hell am I going to do when this is ov...I can't even say the word.  If I don't say it, then it isn't real.  Is there a 12-step program out there for people addicted to this story?  I think I may need professional help to cope with the loss.  Maybe a grief councelor.  Ahh man, I just can't even think about that right now. {sniffle sniffle}.  Going to have a glass of wine.

Ok, I am a little better now.  What a fantastically wonderful chapter!!!.  So, you know you are my favorite lemon dealer, right?  But the part of the chapter I loved the most was the complete fuckery in the hospital.  I laughed my ass off at the visual of the scene as Carlisle tried to kick the shit out of Jasper for having sex with Alice.  And then to add everyone else in was simply perfect.

The retreat was a nice touch.  Protective Domward is sexy as hell! 

And Bella is pregnant!!!!!  Her and Kate are going to be big bellied together?!?  That is too cool for words.  They can compare notes on pregnancy and playtime.  I love the way your mind works.

Have you given any thought to publishing this???  I would be first in line to buy a copy (actually 2 or 3, I got friends that need to read this).

Love ya lady,

Nickey

Bella seems to be healing from the invasion far quicker than I expected. Her lesson for the weekend was inventive. I am glad Edward said no to playtime over the holidays.  Afterall his childhood home is not soundproof as Carlisle so nicely pointed out!

Very well written, complex chapter. Everyone did what they needed to keep themselves safe. That poor pizza boy! Everyone involved might just need a few months of therapy.

Nice that Laurent had a crisis of concious and made the call. While the security team was assembling, it allowed the men to be retreived in time to join their women.

Game night sounds fun!!

Crap! Edward is feeling foreboding; Jacob and Jim followed the movers to Emmett's house!! I'd been smugly thinking how anyone thinking of finding Bella would find Emmet instead. Crap, this could be bad.

love this story right from the start  its great funny in parts and drama in others well balance cant wait fpr next chapter love it  thanks alot sue x

Oh, I hope you do "go on forever", because I don't want this story to ever end. You could just make this like a soap opera and just keep going for years!! (No pressure on you, huh!) Part of me is excited that they are going to have a baby; but part of me doesn't want their lifestyle to change. But knowing you, the story will just get better no matter what. You are such an amazing writer. When the story does end, I will just go back to Chapter 1 and start all over. Thank you so much for all the fun.

Life does seem to be an ongoing learning process, huh? Bella seems to be making progress on many levels though!

Hmmmm. First and foremost I am curious to see what Bella's bloodwork results might reveal....

I love seeing the family bonding time. Jasper's proposal was great, the hot air balloon rides were inspired. I loved Carlisle's response to Edward about the house lacking soundproofing!

Eeeks! Another reveal! Their first play party! *squee*

You know it is a testment to your writing that I adore your story.  Edward's bruised heart?  Pleeeeease, he acts like a total ass a fair amount of the time, I have no patience for it.  Personally I think their "lifestyle" clouds the issue of their marriage. Anyway I will shut up about that.     By the way why is Alice a sub?  She does not see suited to it.  As for Bella she only really wants someone to love her and take control. That person does not have to be a dom.  So she going to give birth to a future sub/dom. Yay.  Lets see what drama these too can make of that.  As always I look forward to the next installment. 

NO please don't end it, you could do a sequel and have it two or three years later maybe, but I love this story and now that they are having a baby it shold get intersting for them.

What a shitty week. Hope they plan on moving Bella out of that place this weekend!

Things move quickly in that world. Lesson to agents: don't piss off your source of income!

Pleased to see Bella taking this head on AND obeying her Master's wishes.

There is no complalining from me. I am loving the long chapters.  OMG!!! I can not believe that Carlisle went out to the waiting room and hit Jasper. How funny!!!!!!! I was glad to see that Alice did let Jasper be there when she gave birth. I am so glad to see Bella pregnant. I think she and Edward will make great parents. Can't wait to see how they react to the news. Also can't wait to see them as parents.  What is this about ending this in 5 chapters.....there is no limits on how many chapters you can write. Girl, you just keep on writing and we will keep on reading. Do not end this story any time soon. There of lots of things that you need to cover. I would like to see Edward and Bella, Edward especially, interacting with their child. GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!! I am loving it!!!!!
