Bio:
'The story of us', was 'Bon Secours'. And 'Instructions Not Included', was 'Bon Secours the sequel'. Sorry to throw you off, but a name change was a must.
Sequel to 'The Story of Us', if you didn't read that, please do so before you read this. The title says it all, since children do not come with an instruction manual. This picks up right where the original leaves off, 'The Story of us' epilogue. If you liked that, you will LOVE this. How will Edward and Bella deal with a house full of teenagers? There's flashbacks, more drama, more lemons, much more humor, and a whole lot of story.
Doctorward is there too, just like the first story.
It's incredibly long because we have the (A) story, which is Edward and Bella. Then we have the (B) story, which is EJ and CC, their two oldest children.
Points of view will fluctuate. Chapters will be split, since there's essentially two stories in one.
Rated NC-17 just in case for Lemons and Language galore
Edward, Bella, the whole gang, their kids, plus a few original characters.

Okay seriously this family has a way of ALWAYS blaming Edward for everything. He didn't let Bella help. So hey it's okay that Bella cheated on him. WTF! Edward shouldn't have hit her. No one can argue with that. But good god! She was wrong! I don't care if her intentions were good, that shit was fucked up. I could never agree with Carlisle. Kissing is still cheating.
I get that she was doing what she thought was best. Did she not learn anything from this whole debacle? Things escalate when you lie or keeps things from your husband. That's what got them into this whole situation in the first place. She should have told Edward the truth about Randall from the beginning. She admitted that herself? Yet she made the same mistake again... I don't get it. But maybe that's just me.
At the end of the day I'm not saying I don't understand where she is coming from. Because I would do absolutely ANYTHING for the people I love. Even something like this. But at the end of the day, she did it for herself, for her piece of mind. She knew that sleeping with Randall would hurt Edward a lot more than anything Randall could ever do to him.
Carlisle was right about one thing though. Don't let Randall win.
I loved their reunion. And I totally started bawling my eyes out when Bella did! :) So glad that she apologized. So sweet what she said about not being able to live without him!
I liked how EJ got to understand where Edward was coming from. Debbie turned into a real bitch...
Michael is really my favorite character in this story. He's adorable and so funny!

I thought Bella was horrable in this chapter. She should have talked to Edward as soon as Randall called her. How could she think that Edward would ever just be okay with it? She seemed so shocked when he walked out. What did she expect? He loves her, and no way would he ever be okay with her doing that, even if it kept him out of prison. And the way she treated Randall really pissed me off. So he's in love with her? Boo fucking hoo, not her goddamn problem. How could she feel sorry for him after what he did?
I didn't like that Edward hit her, even though had I been him I would have done the same thing. And he did warn her to stay away. Doesn't make it okay to ever hit someone! But I do feel like she would have slapped him too, had the situation been reversed.
I hope he doesn't forgive her too fast. She really doesn't deserve it.

I can't really get my head around how this happened? How did Bella blow things so out of proportion? This came out of nowhere for me and it kind of confused me. But at this point I guess Bella is just like that. I feel like she blows every fight they have out of proportion... I can't comprehend how she could act like he beat her. I mean fuck. I guess I just can't understand her behavior because I would never have reacted like that. Her insecurities are getting a little annoying at this point.
I mean I am not saying that Edward wasn't wrong at all. Because sure he was. But he just wasn't alone in this.
For me, she was the one who startet it with the whole baby thing. I guess maybe I think like a man. Because I often find myself sympathysing more with the males than the females, and I always feel like there is such a double standard from the women.
And EJ should really stay out of it.
Loved the explanation Edward gave Michael. That was seriously adorable!!! :)
Date: 07 Feb 2016 Title: Chapter 5: Unchained Melody
Glad Rosie stood up for Edward here. It was about time someone did.
In this sequel I am really starting to dislike Alice, she seems so judgemental and has an opinion on everybody else's bussiness when really it seems like she's the one with the most problems... Glad Rose told her off.
And the whole hitting EJ thing, I'm with Rose on this one. Bella shouldn't have such a double standard. It isn't justified just because EJ would hit back? WTF? Now I really don't believe in hitting your children at all. But I really hate double standards..
Really not liking the whole let's hit on a hot guy even though we are married, just to keep our husbands on their toes. I don't have a lot of respect for people who that. Glad B didn't agree. They really were being immature. They're adults not high schoolers.
Glad they talked and worked things out. He shouldn't have put his hands on her and I think it was important they had that conversation. And Oh my god, I love it when he calls her turkey leg!! Thanks for not dragging it out.
Holy shit. ADULTS helped some kid beat up EJ. What the hell is wrong with some people. That's just fucked up! Poor little Michael had to see that. He was so adorable. I'm glad EJ talked to his parents finally. And so sweet how he let Michael sleep in his bed :)
Michael has to be my favorite, he's just precious!

Sometimes I feel like fanfics have too much of a fairytale ending, you know? Like it becomes unrealistic. I really loved the epilogue. It wasn't perfect at all, but at the end of the day, most of them were happy and it showed just how close they are in that family. I loved that. It wasn't just about their love lives, it was about their family and the love they share.
I've had my dissapointments throughout this story. But there will never be a story where I won't feel like that. All in all I thought it was great, obviously, or I wouldn't have read the whole thing :) So thank you for a great story, and I hope you keep writing!
