Well then...  How do you respond to that?

This is so frustrating!  Just get rid of her!  What parent hears the other say "don't waste time doing stupid stuff like feed the baby"  and still allows them to be in their lives?  It is a no brainer.  Even in the real world.  All it would take is one warning then my Husband would be history.  This has gone on long enough.  Especially with the short shapters.  No I am just getting annoyed.

Out of the mouth of babes.  Way too funny.

She still needs to tell him there is not Husband.  I love this little story, but these short frequent chapters are just not enough.  I am dying for more!  Please ;)

Yep, I am now sure that you are trying to slowly bring on my insanity.  At some point I will be in an institution mumbling "if only she had longer chapters" at they pump me full of psyche meds.  I have heard of a slow burn, but this is beyond torture.  I should expect that, but it does not make the pill easier to swallow. 

As for the teaser from Midnight Eternal, I am sure we have all had a night or ten where we all felt exactly like that.  Brings back memories...

well what did she think would happen.  Last minute tickets are really not happening at the Oscars.  Of course she is going with him!  That cracks me up.

Finally!  Please do not tease and have someone stop this convo from happening.  Plus I really want Tanya's shit brought to light in he worst way, the tabloids.  Edward and Bella need to be the heros for once.

That is a great baby pic.  I hope that Edward sees through her now.  P{lease tell me he hands her a new assho;e on public so that everyone can see what a bitch and useless mother she is.  That would help!  And People casn get it all on camera!

Ooooohhh, Jessica will be pissed!  I am sure she deserves it, however, I do think that Edward should have directed those changes to Jessica and not her Mother.  My biggest pet peeve when I was managing was when high schoolers had their parents call in sick for them.  If they are old enough to work they are old enough to deal with work issues on their own.  I always clearly stated to the parents (after confirming they did not lose their voice) that if I do not speak with them myself they will be given a final written warning for being a no show.  Many were fired for this.  So I do believe that although paying creedence to what Victoria had to say, he should have spoke directly to Jessica.

Other than that I am loving this story as I do all your stories.  Your guys are amazing!

Those sneaky crazy people.  They better hope this works because otherwise they will all surely die a slow and painfull death.  On the upside, I think these two are so cute together.  But I really cannot wait for Edward to find out that the truck is hers.

I think the return plan will be fun.  However, I do hope that there will be some instances of his overprotectiveness and also an in-your-face confrontation with Victoria and her daughter.  Perferably one where she is wearing Edward's ring but they do not know it is his yet.  That would be awesome.

My heart is breaking already. I cannot wait to hear E POV because it must have been difficult to love someone so young.

Well what do ya know!  I do wonder where she has been.  But Hell hath no fury if Sam was using Edward's money to find Isabella just to hand her to Jacob instead.  Heads will roll.

He is one of the most erotica ly romantic Edwards you have ever written. I love it.

Court houses, small or not have great surveilance.  Especially at all entrances and exits.  If anything they should have a size description of the second guy and the make & model of a car if not the plates too, depending on how careful they were.  So I am not too worried, but what they do to her in the meantime is what will matter.

I love it when you guys post a story because you collabrate so well.  I am sad to know that there are only 5 chapters to this one.  But the cuteness of Lucy is beyond adorable. I like that after so long he can possibly find his happy ever after too.  It is sad to be alone in the world but it does make you more appreciative of those you do have.

I say that he is trying to do right by Emmett.  And Bella's parents need a beat down!

Oh Thanksgiving will be interesting indeed!

I have total faith in your writing.  That said, this story line is one that balances the edge of exciting/cliche precariously.  What I do not understand is why Edward would make a deal like that with someone he met at work and can barely tolerate.  I too had a deal like that when I was younger and we never needed to fullfill it  But it was with someone I could have married easily but we both knew there was probably someone better out there for us.  Was this a joke that just escalated?  I just d knot see this as tangible.  As for Emmett, I would have chewed him a new asshole before implementing the summer homeschooling.  That said, I also would have been checking in on my own.  I do this now and it bugs my daughter to no end that I Email her teachers and ask for updates or other random things.  But I have kept her in line and it was worth it.

I am suprised Newton was not brought up on charges for his tampering. But given the very public walk of shame he was exposed to is quite satisfying.  I think it is hilarious that Edward keeps knocking up his girlfriends but gives condoms to his son. And that last thought of them going out together is too funny.

Wow, can she get shit on anymore?  How can she still stand by Charlie knowing he is taking her life right out from under her with no security net?  I think I need a little karma to assuage my rage on her behalf.

I think that they should have cut off the family jewels while he knew what was happening.  That would have been worse for him mentally.

I do not know if it is because the chapters are shorter, the time between updates too long or that I love the story so much that no pace will be quick enough, but I feel like the story is going so slow.  I want more.  I am also dying to find out about his Mom.  Shouldn't Bella have left already to get her? 

He should have given Carisle his money and kept the phone in case.  I bet he will want to have it.

I am thinking that Aro sees the restraint and calculation in Edward.  Always looking for angles and reading between the lines.  I say that Aro will allow Matt to get to the wedding but tear the rug out from under him and hand it all to Edward.  This will prove that he only wanted Heidi for the position.  He is still a father after all.  But I think that Edward will come up with evidence before that which will tip the decision for Aro.

I was kind of hoping the Danali clan was looking to align for protection purposes not marriage. Too bad because the Mae clan could use the backup if Aro does not nip it in the bud.

HA! Taylor Lautner!  That is good.

That was an overload.  But if I was Edward I would still be pissed at Aro for trying to keep Bella & Jasper away from him & Alice.  Not to mention throwing Jane at him.  But at least I was right about the calculating looks toward Edward.  So I was right about something, albeit small. Hah.

Oh my God, stripping for the chief, that is the best take on that scene I have ever heard!  That is some funny shit.

So why does she not wake her Dad and take hime with?  Or maybe call the station land line and get an officer to go with?  I am thinking that if it was that important that he could have called the police himself so that should be her cloe.  Please don't make her a stupid chick after all this time building up her intelligence.

What happened to Jasper.  If her was so close with Bella, where is he now?  Would he like to know what she was doing there?  Does he already know?  If Maria was aware of Frank and the dangerous area, why was she there at night and alone?  If they are such great investigators, why are they not asking these questions?  Start where her life ended and go next to those who knew her.  But nobody questioned Bella and as far as I know, Jasper either.

I say go for it.  There are not enough people who have the balls to write with the power and point of view you do and I think it will do well.  But now I want to read this version too...as soon as possible.

Best chapter so far.  LOVED IT!

I just want to say that I hope you have not taken my comments harshly.  I was mostly expressing how this story affects me.  I swear that I want to jump out of my seat screaming at times.  But shouldn't a story do that to you?  There are as few thing that I thing are dragging out a bit too long, but I was hoping that my comments were more helpful as an outside observer than hurtful.  I really do love all your stories and they are generally the first updates I read.  But I think I will have a heart attack before this one is completed.  I am sorry if you viewed my comments as negative.

I think this should be where Emmett's mamma finally sees who her son really is. That is true karma kicking ass.

Gos the beginning of this story was rough, but like all E/B fics, I can survive as long as they are together.  It will be so crazy from here on out, but at least now I can handle it.  That was a rogh road.  i love Esme and Alice too.  I think that the women in this story will be a force to rekon with.  I also hope that Rose's brother sticks up for her since she doesn't for herself and sticks it to Emmett too.  Rose may be bad now, but if she had someone to give her confidence, friendship and love she may see her own worth and stop the damaging behavior.  I pity her a bit.

I am not sure why, but I really HATE when men are kept away from their growing babies and miss out on things.  I know Edward is seeing more than anyone else in that position, but he is still not sharing in the moments.  He is not taking claim and telling his children that he is Daddy and they are loved, he is taking a back seat.  At some point, one of them needs to say something.  This is just a bit too drawn out.  I do not mind that is is manyt chapters later and there is no recognition, But when the weeks are passing with those chapters, I cannot wrap my head around it.  The pace would be fine if the time was a bit slower.  My heart is breaking for Edward and I just want to hit Bella over the head. 

Ohh, Jane is in deep shit with this one!  I cannot wait to see (or read about) her face!  Please update soon.  You cannot leave me hanging on this!  Dying, I am dying here!

Finally Edward is gaining an upperhand.  I do not cdare if it is a man or woman, but when someone is too cocky, they need to be knocked down a peg or two.  I like that he is keeping her on equal footing.  Those little girl and Daddy GIFs were too cute!

I almost went there when I visited Seattle in July.  It is a real place and from what I hear, it is rather good and fun.

Can you tell me how I can find The Mafia Group?

That was as lovely as they are.  It was nice to also have a 'commoner' appove of the relationship.  It also appears that Bella is finding her worth.  I love their story so far.  But i am at odds with Alice.  I do not know if I want her dealt with or to come around and repent for her actions.  Obviously the latter would be best, but the former more likely and dramatic.  I just hope that ends well and is balanced.

I think it would be great if the baby turned out to be Emmett's and this would be the push Rose needs to face her fears, keep the baby and give Emmett a chance.  it would be her spark of hope (and also the baby's name).  Great right?

Yes, it took all I had to not bawl my eyes out.  I have to say though, if it was the bitter old musician who was passed up, Charlie better take him down with all the power of the government (and Carlisle) behind him.  

That was a lovely ending.  I really did not think you would be able to make it work, but somehow you pulled it off and it was good.  Great job, i enjoyed these characters and felt like we grew up along side them.

I think they are being a bit careless using the Cullenelo name around town so flippantly.  That priest will definately earn a buck to call out their presence.   It could be an ambush in the morning instead of a wedding appointment.  Or worse, on their wedding day.

It has been so long since I heard the name of Excalibur.   I organized my Sister-in-law's Bachelorette party there.  It was about 20 21 year olds who never left their small town outside Green Bay, 2 Moms, and my Best Friend (who is from Chicago) to spend the night in an apartment like hotel.  They took the train from Milwaukee, shopped all day, dinner at Maggianios followed by a night at Excalibur.  They had an organized Bachelorette event and many other fun activities.  I did win the fake orgasm contest. I won a cheap bottle of wine which came in handy trying to keep all the girl straight off the from gone wild from getting lost.  Good times, thanks for that memory.
