Wow Edward is so dense!!! This chapter just makes me want to smack him upside the head and question his intelligence.  If you listen to a woman and take into account her wants and needs she'll actually react with genuine happiness.  Who would have thought?!! But Edward decides what he thinks is best and misses the mark completely.  Gosh I'm so glad to have my rights.  The life Edward is offering Bella is pretty much sugar-coated slavery.  One question I do have is why Edward seems to foist Bella's medical needs on Carlisle when he's supposed to be a doctor as well?  He doesn't seem to offer any medical opinions where she is concerned before turning to his father.

Beautiful ending!!!! Brought me to tears ;)

I was so excited that you updated!  I've been looking forward to it for some time now.  I also enjoy how you put up pictures of your characters, although Sasha is about 21 or 22 in real life. 

I have many questions regarding your story.  I keep getting confused about how old each child is and whose mother is whose.  It wasn't clear if Carmen was Kebi's or Sasha's daughter when Edward discussed his siblings with Bella. Though I'm not sure how Sasha and Carlisle could produce a brunette child with such dark features so maybe she's Kebi's.  Could you clarify your character's ages including all of the adults?  How many months old is Renesmee?  You said she turns 2 in September but I couldn't tell what month it was in your story.  Are the children in school?  Are Carlisle and his wives in domestic discipline relationships, as Bella was assuming? 

Character ages, and corresponding mother/child connections are hard to keep track of with such a large family so it might be a good idea to set up a table or something, lol. I cannot wait to see the next chapter.  I really like seeing more of Carlisle's children in the picture and hope we get to see more of his interaction with his children.  Your photo of Renesmee is perfect, by the way ;)  Such a doll.  Hope you can clear up some of the confusion pertaining to my questions. Thanks 

Oh my gosh you're killing me here.  I was supposed to go to bed two hours ago and I can't stop now.  I'm crying buckets here and this just has to work out. LOL.

I knew this chapter had to come and she had to move on.  It was hard and I wish Bella would have had another meaningful exchange with Esme before she passed.  Gosh this brought more than silent tears for me so I would say you captured the mood pretty well.  I miss hearing Ethan's voice so I hope he shows up again and talks. I'm curious to see where Edward goes because I would have thought he would have said he loved her versus he thought he did.  I guess he was pretty distraught though.
