thank you so much for your note.  I love Lil Bit too.

cheers,

LB

yes, i think Edward will need to find out why she let him in... not like Jess.  thanks for your note.  I plan to post the next chapter tonight.  here's a little teaser of chapter 30 : 

Leah was firing on all cylinders and it was a magnificent sight. I had doubted her when she said her nickname when she was younger was ‘Queen Bitch’, but now I could easily believe it as I watched her in full flight protecting her loved ones.  Way to go Leah. I almost felt sorry for Whitlock… almost.

He stared at my Bella as Leah poked him in the chest.  “They have no family except the loving friends you see around this room whose lives have all been enriched and blessed by knowing her.  So finding family should’ve been a moment of joy for her and for Elizabeth but what do you do when you finally show up?  Huh?”

He stepped back from the force of her chest pokes but Leah isn’t letting him get away that easy.

“You threaten to take her daughter from her, by the way something your idiot lawyer should know you can’t do.  She is Lil Bit’s sister and now officially her mother through a completely legal and finalised adoption.  

“We are not going to stand idly by while you and your idiot lawyer try to bully a nineteen year old into giving up her child.  We are their family and we will protect them.”

Well now seems like the major majority of you are all kinds of happy with Bella and Edward and how their progressing together.  We love it, Bella is finding her strength in Edward, but Edward is gaining and coming into a deeper strength too.  Many of you want redemption right away against Charlie and Jacob and the rest of the bad apples, and it will come, it’s still simmering and the dish of revenge is not quite ready to be served.  Next two chapters we will be given the honor of meeting Renee.  The way the story is going on our side there will be no more than 25 chapters total.  We have 18 written, and working on 19 and 20 now.  As soon as we are done, we will start posting faster.  I assure you that wrapping this story is one of our top priorities.   Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:  Vicky smiles at me and then looks at Bella. “If you get tired of his old ass, call me,” she says as she hands her number to my girl.

I glare at Vicky.

“Oh, don’t pout, Edward. I will see your girl every Thursday from now on.”

I shake my head at Vicky, who is grinning widely.

I guide Bella out of the office, but then hear Vicky calling out for me. I turn and look at her.

“Tell James I’m ready for my second shot.”

I tilt my head and Vicky wiggles her eyebrows at me.

I smirk, shaking my head. “Will do, Vicky. Have good day.” I walk Bella out and see she’s still holding in her laughter.  “It’s okay, Little Girl, you can laugh. What did you think of Vicky, Little Girl?”

Bella smiles at me. “Sir, your girl thinks she is nice, but she seems like she walks to the beat of her own drum.”

I chuckle. “Little girl, Vicky has her own orchestra.  Let’s go to lunch.”

Hey everyone thanks for reading and reviewing.  There have been several questions and some we can’t fully answer to not give away too much about the story and where we’re taking it.  But let’s start off with the easy stuff.  This will be about 25 chapters in total, give or take a few and we update every Monday or very late Sunday night.  There are many questions regarding the scene that Edward will be participating in.  It is a scheduled demo, teaching session.  We don’t want to give away any info on the scene as of yet, but trust us that there will be nothing remotely sexual about it for Edward at all.  The submissive which will be a part of the exhibition will not in any way shape or form, want or try to keep Edward as their own.  As for more info on Bella’s parents and why they are the way they are, you all really have to be a little patient, you haven’t even met them yet.  There are a LOT of seriously wicked guesses as to what is going on and why things are the way they are, but so far nothing is dead on correct.  You can join us on Facebook, search for the group called: TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction and you will find us.  Hope you enjoy the teaser... Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:  The rest of the night goes slowly and my mind often deviates back to Bella.  I end up texting her just to have some communication with her.

Beautiful. How was work tonight?  Did you get much work done for college?  I just finished eating some of the lovely apple pie that you made me. It was truly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Thank you.  ~Edward

I try to focus on my work, but find myself unable to stop looking at my cell. I close the club and head home.  I’m sad and upset that she didn’t respond to my text. By the time I get home, I feel even more upset and even angry.  I wonder why she wouldn’t text me back.  Thinking over reasons, I make a mental list. 

Have I scared her off? No, I don’t think that’s it.  She wouldn’t have agreed to meet up with me if I had scared her.  From what I see and know of her, she doesn’t ignore people, so that can't be it. 

Maybe her phone is out of minutes.  Now this is more possible, because her cell is one of those cheap pay-as-you-go ones and she has little money.  If that’s the reason, then there is no way for her to call or text me back.  Do dorm rooms come with a phone in them? Not really sure about that, I’ll have to check.  I know she is the type of person that would try to keep money on her cell and would say if she was low.  She has often said she needed to switch her phone off because she was low on minutes. 

Maybe she fell asleep and is a deep sleeper.  It has been after midnight when I texted her.  She did say she was normally home before eight and in bed by ten most nights.  Yep, that must be it.  She’ll most likely text me once she’s awake.  I’m sure she’ll feel bad that she missed my text.  One thing is for sure, she doesn’t need me being on her ass like white on rice.

I feel myself calming down after thinking over the theories, and I decide to head to bed.  I wake up and look at my phone seeing it's a little after seven in the morning, but I still don’t have a text from Bella.  I frown and let out a sigh as I rub my face, knowing that I need to get moving.  I’m supposed to be meeting my dad at nine for breakfast, because he won’t be able to attend dinner tonight.

I get showered and dressed all while glaring at my cell.  I see that there is still no incoming text. I text my father to say that I’m on way, and ask if he could text me back to be sure he got my message.  I frown even more when he's answering my text minutes later.  Well, that takes away the newest theory that my cell is not receiving incoming text messages.

I arrive at the hospital and see dad is waiting for me.

“What was the texting all about?”

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  We were very glad to see that the major majority of you are no longer questioning Edward’s abilities to do the right thing.  The next chapter is the chapter that will really set things into motion.

 We have had some concerns brought to our attention regarding the fact that Bella talks to Edward about herself in third person.  We are not saying that EVERY submissive talks to their Dominant in third person, but the research we’ve done, more often than not it is the way it is.  Keep in mind that we’ve spoken to Dominants and submissives alike during our research.  In this story Bella has a photographic memory, she could have read any number of books which reference the usage of third party speaking as a natural way to show submission.  Neither of us is saying anyone else should do this, but in this story Bella is quite the natural at speaking as a submissive. 

Some have suggested that Edward try to just be a boyfriend and not a Dom to Bella.  Edward will discuss all of this with her soon, we assure you that no stones will be left unturned.  Chapter eight you will get to meet Charlie, but first we will have a turning point in seven that many of you have been asking for and suggesting since chapter two. 

There have been a lot of comments and references about the neglect Bella has withstood from her ‘family’.  When Nikky and I first talked about this story I wanted us to play up the neglect, because it is a huge amount of the way many children live.  I have shared with everyone, in the author’s notes and review replies, that I was a victim of neglect.  When I talked about my own experiences it was not for your sympathy it was to say that I know it happens.  I want to say thank you to all of you who have made mention of my past abuse, and send hugs to those who have shared some of their own stories with us.  Not everything Nikky and I write about Bella happened to me, and as an adult I had a moderately decent relationship with my parents.  I cannot say that Bella will, or that this story will end with her having contact with her biological parents. 

We hope this addresses the majority of your concerns and or questions.  We will see you next week with a pivotal chapter in the story! 

Much love, Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:
“Please, excuse me, I need to take this,” I inform Aro and move away while answering my cell. “Beautiful, how are you this evening?”

I don’t hear a reply, but I can hear music in the background.

“Ah, shit! That hurt,” Bella’s voice comes across the line, but it sounds off and slurred.

“Bella, are you okay?” I ask alarmingly, already moving toward the exit.

“Oh, this ... weird ... I was going to call you.  I feel ... real funny ... strange.  My head ... hurt and ... I feel ... um ... so dizzy ...”

I see Felix standing guard close to the door and I head to him. “Bella, I’m on my way.  Stay on your cell.”

I pull my cell away from my mouth before speaking to Felix. “I need to go. Find Aro tell him I had to leave, he will assist you in any details you need.  Let him know he is in charge.”

He gives me a nod, and I exit the door and run to my car.

“Okay, Beautiful, stay right where you are and stay on the phone with me. I’m on my way to you.” I try to take some deep breaths to calm myself. “Where are you, Beautiful?” I start my car as I switch my cell to hands-free.

“I ... hum, bathroom ... I think. Fuck ... it’s warm in here.”

I know right now it is best to keep her talking. “Have you been drinking?” I ask frowning, because I know even when I’m out with her, Bella does not drink much.

“Nope ... I am ... a goo ... girl ... I swear ... Sir, no ... drink-ies ... for me.”

“There you are! I was wondering where you got off to. Who are you talking to?” I hear a male’s voice ask, and I move my car a little faster.

Well a lot of you still want Renee to die a slow and painful death, but many of you are just glad she is gone.  Renee will be heard from again in future chapters, however we don’t want to give away too much by telling you how, when or why.  We think the next chapter will be the second most popular chapter to date when it posts.  Christmas and preparations for it, is a very fun time for Edward and Bella and will hopefully be well received by our readers. 
On a side note, please check out the wonderful little story that Nikky, Jess2002 and I are writing for Savannavansmutsmut.  It is called If I Die Young and it is posting under the author name: WeeJessAndTAT.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser: 

I lead her back to my car and we drive to another place where I can pick up the things that I need. I watch as Bella blushes and chuckles at the joke gifts the store has. I frown when I see that she has a bag, having bought something without showing me.

“What’s in the bag, Little Girl?” I ask trying to get the bag from her. But she’s quicker and hides it behind her back.

“It’s one of your Christmas gifts, Sir, and you can’t see it until Christmas morning.”

I chuckle shaking my head at her, knowing this will be fun for both of us in the long run.  “Oh, is that a fact, Little Girl? I could order you to show me, you know?”

Bella shakes her head at me. “Then your girl will tell tales to her Sir’s mom.”

My mouth drops open and I look at her, smiling internally, because she is willing to stroke the lion and play. “Is that so, Little Girl?”

Bella nods at me, but bites her lip.

“Well then, Little Girl, I may need to give you a spanking,” I say playfully to her.

“Your girl will take the spanking, Sir. Your girl really wants this present to be a surprise for her Sir.”

“Fair enough, let’s finish shopping.” I shake my head, watching her walk away from me. She looks over her shoulder and flicks her skirt a little showing her ass.  “Spanking it is then,” I say to myself before walking after her.

Hello everyone!  Thanks for all your kind words.  We want to start off by addressing some of the frequent questions.  This quote (“I know they love me, really ... I know but, it’s strange, maybe it’s just me. You know that I see and hear things differently from the rest of the world, but thank you for doing this and answering my questions.”) from chapter five had someone ask, what Bella meant.   Bella is referring to how she perceives her family versus the way others do.  Jacob is not a card we are showing yet, you’ll have to be patient to see what he has up his sleeve.  Did Bella hear him in the shower?  We have yet to hear that answer from Bella ourselves, but in my thoughts she surely did.  Will there be any chapters in Bella’s POV?  She is talking a little here and there, but nothing’s set in stone as of yet.  Shouldn’t Edward as a good Dom cancel the scene?  The scene is not canceled, but it has been modified from the original way it was written.  This was for several reasons.  We have sixteen chapters written, yet we still continue to makes tweaks and changes here and there before posting.  When we started making him have hard feelings about the upcoming scene, or feel nervous about it, we started discussing it more.  We found a way to appease us, our readers and yet still show what we wanted to show.  So trust us—please.  I’m glad we haven’t fallen into the pleads for more chapters to post faster, because in the last week we haven’t gotten another one done.  Of course WeeKittyAndTAT, JessAndTAT and TeamAllTwilight all submitted pieces of work into the Fandom Fights LLS.  WeeKittyAndTAT did an Epilogue of sorts for Ropin’ A Sitter.  JessAndTAT did a future take on Bases Loaded.  I wrote a new fan fiction novella, it’s called, The Things That Make You Click.  All of these will post to our FFN and TWCS accounts, but not until after December first.  Watch for two one-shots to post soon to our account, the winners will be announced tomorrow in the More is MORE contest.  Think that brings you all up to speed.  Feel free to PM us and ask questions if you have them.  Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:  “Felix, my father is coming in tonight. Please have him come straight to my office.  Keep everyone else out until I’m done. If there are any problems, I trust you to deal with them accordingly.”

Felix nods at me, but doesn’t say anything. I carry on, walking toward Jenks, when I’m stopped by Tanya.

“Sir, I have some news that I would like to share with you.”

I turn and face Tanya who looks like the cat who got the cream. “Tanya, I’m very busy, it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.” 

I move away from her, but she grabs my wrist pulling me back. “It’s very important, Sir.”

I yank my arm away from her, turning to face her once more. “Tanya, don’t you tell me when I will speak with you. I’m busy, so unless you’re going to die in the next five minutes and need me to call an EMT for you, I don’t want to know. And never touch me again without my consent!”

I walk away without waiting for her response. As I approach Jenks, he shakes his head, looking behind me at Tanya.

“Ah, still trying to get your attention then?”

I nod at him, opening up my office.

“I’d stay away from that one; she’s clearly after money, fame and quite frankly, has ‘whore’ written all over her.”

I chuckle a little at his quite accurate synopsis of Tanya. “Yes, I know. Those are the main reasons I have always refused her, that, and she makes me lose brain cells every time she opens her mouth. But enough about her, what did you find out.”

Jenks looks at me sadly and I can clearly see the worry on his face. “This is not going to be easy to read. Even harder for you I’d say, because you’ve become somewhat involved with the girl.”

I nod at him in understanding. “Just show me.”

Well it seems the majority of you really liked this chapter.  There was some confusion regarding Edward’s family, they all really love Bella, but have been warned to not be too handsy or huggy with her, because it is nothing she is used too.  Please don’t fret, Edward’s family is there and will be there to support Bella.  Lots of you still want instant retribution for Bella against everyone who has hurt her, but please be patient Rome wasn’t built in a day.  As always our update schedule is every Sunday night/Monday morning, so far I have been able to post every Sunday.  There is a lot of stuff going on and things will be interesting here very soon.  A lot of people were surprised by Bella’s actions of kneeling naked in his playroom, but only Bella knows what she wants.  Edward wants her there is no doubt about that, but he wants her to want him for herself—not just because she thinks this is what he wants.  Edward has a fine line to walk, but he is not stupid and will handle this situation accordingly.  Thanks as always for reading and reviewing.  Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:
I glance down at my cell, when it rings seeing that it says Beauty.  I frown, because I know that she should be about to start her last class.

“Beautiful, is everything alright?” I ask worryingly.

“Renee called, I didn’t pick up.  I was unsure if you wanted me to call you first or if it was just Charlie. I’m sorry, I just thought ...”

I smile and sit back down.  “No, Renee wasn’t on the list, but I’m glad that you called.  Please wait until I’m with you before calling her back.  I will make a list of people of who you are not to answer to, it’ll make it easier for you—us.” I hear Bella clear her throat a few times. “Is there anything else, Beautiful?”

I hear a light chuckle. “You know me so well.  Two things, one I want to know what would happen if I skipped my next class, and second, they want me to see Mr. Whitlock, Jasper, sometime today.”  I can hear in her voice there’s something more and I know this may need a face to face talk. “I am on my way to make an appointment with Jasper right now.”

I smile a little and grab my car keys.  “I coming and getting you from Jasper’s office, stay there until I arrive.”

“I will, Sir ... it’s, oh, Jacob,” Bella says.

“Well, hello there, Isabella.”

I move faster towards my car.  “Don’t speak to him.  Go into Jasper’s office and hand Jasper your cell,” I say to her, while Jacob was talking.

“I’m sorry, but he’s blocking my path.”

I let out a sigh, and start my car. 

“Who are you talking to?  Not that old guy?  Is he still fucking you?  I’m surprised he’s been able to keep himself hard around your whore ass.”

I grit my teeth together. “Shout Jasper’s name now,” I say as Jacob rattles on.  When I hear nothing coming from Bella, I put on a firm voice.  “Now, Little Girl, scream for him and hand him your cell.”

“Jasper!” I hear Bella yell.

Well so far everyone is pretty much at the same conclusion, that Renee is a POS when it comes to being a mother.  With the way Bella has been raised and the way that she acts, this is not a big surprise.  Some of you have asked why Edward has not yet stepped in to protect her and that as her Dom he should.  Edward has been very clear all along that he wants her to grow and be confident on her own as well.  Now you will see that he is giving her the power to stand up for herself, and as her Dom he is telling her that he expects her to stand up for herself.  Bella is much stronger than most think, including Edward, but have no fear he will see her strengths.  I think that you all will be shocked to see how far Renee will go to maintain her own importance. 

A lot of you mention or talk about earlier authors notes and review replies where I have spoken candidly about my own upbringing.  Not every bad thing that happened or happens to Bella in this story happened to me growing up, but the neglect and the being pushing away and having parents who think only of them was a very prominent part of my childhood.  Both my parents are now gone, and I miss them.  I know that is not easy to understand for some, but even though they treated me like a second class citizen most of the time, they still were my parents.  This is why I maintain that you never know how you’d react in this situation, because unless you’re raised in it, you don’t know. 

As always we will see you next Sunday night — Monday morning with an update.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  (Nikky) & Kasi~

Teaser:
I smile and look to Renee who looks angry and pissed off, but thankfully, she has finally shut up.

“Edward, can I talk to you?” I turn and look at Phil, and I nod. I take one last look at my girl, before following him away from the kitchen area.

“What can I help you with, Phil?” I ask directing him into my office.

Phil sighs and looks at me. “I love Renee very much, and she’s not always like this.  Normally, at home she’s sweet, loving, and kind. I have only seen her this way a few times, but not too often. I think being here in Washington is bringing this more to the front. I think Charlie did a number on Bella, but he also hurt Renee, too. She has low self-esteem, and some issue with being around younger girls. The whole forgetful memory thing, I think it’s a medical problem.”

I chuckle shaking my head at him. “I’m not really sure I believe that, unless only forgetting a thing concerning your only child is a medical condition.”

“No, she forgets more than things about Bella. I swear it’s gotten to be a medical thing, she really just forgets things,” Phil says.

“He’s right, Edward,” I frown and look at my open office door and see my father standing there.

“What’s that then?” I ask harshly.

“Selfish bitch syndrome,” my father says with a straight face. I look to Phil who just frowns.

Hey, thanks for reading and review Meeting Her Needs.  Nikky and I are very happy with the amount of pleasure most of you are finding in this story, so THANK YOU SO MUCH.  There haven’t been very many questions or things to touch base on this week, so I’ll try to do it all here.  Someone wanted to know why the lemon wasn’t longer and more detailed.  The lemon was written the way it was because we want this story to be more about the story and less about the lemons themselves.  We had questions and comments regarding the BDSM in this fic too.  The BDSM in this fic and the actions within this fic of the lifestyle in and of itself have come from many conversations with people from the lifestyle.  Not everything is intense tie you up, spank you, kneel and crawl.  It is a matter of respect, choices and trust.  Please don’t ever think that we would want to write a story just for the sole purpose of making someone another person’s punching bag or pet (in the term of treating someone as if they are not human.)  We will continue to post once a week until the story is completely written.  Nikky is currently working on chapter 20 and there are five more after that to write.  If you ever have additional questions, you can find us on FACEBOOK look for the group called TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction.  You can also email us at our screen name all lower case at gmail.  Thanks and see you Sunday with the update.

Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:  “I–I need ... I can’t sit here. I just need time ...” Bella gets up quickly and almost runs out of the room. 

I sigh looking at Phil. “She’ll be fine—she has to be—we just need to be there for her when she needs us.”

I nod and get up to start looking around for her. I looked throughout the house first, which takes me almost a half hour to do. I was starting to panic that she actually left our home. I open the back patio door and I see her, and instantly I feel myself calm.

“Beautiful,” I say when I approach her, as she works in the dirt of the flower bed she started with my mother. She stops and turns to me and I give her time, knowing she is going to talk to me now.

“Dr. Banner thinks I have been suppressing and curtailing my anger. I’m starting to think that he’s right. I’m just so angry right now, but mainly I’m mad at myself.”

I frown and tilt my head in question at her.

“Edward, I let them—I let them treat me that way. I was always trying to please them. I never asked for anything other than their time. I would always say it was fine, when they forgot my birthday, or anything that was connected to me. I let Charlie push me out of his life. I would always sit back and pretend that didn’t kill me to see him call Leah his princess, or listen to him tell her he was proud of her and loved her. I would say it was me that was to blame for that. I was the broken one. That there must be something wrong with me, and I wasn’t worthy of their love. It’s kind of pathetic when you think about it, huh?”

I shake my head and move to her. “It’s not pathetic to want and desire to be loved.”

Well Nikky and I both want to thank you for reading and reviewing.  All of the questions, compliments, anger (at the characters), love and kindness in the reviews is what keeps us going so strong.  SO, thank you, for reading, reviewing, sharing your stories and most of all for loving the characters—the characters who may not belong to us in name, but who we’ve taken and made into something completely different.  It is very cool to take a loved character, change them and make them different and still have people love them so much or fall in love with them all over again.   There were lots of reviews filled with questions about the newspapers and what Charlie told them.  First in regards to the newspapers, just like when Renee went all press goddess on them, the news already knows Edward.  Edward has made no secret of his lifestyle, how else would Charlie so easily have found out about Edward.  Therefore there was really nothing to put in the press, Charlie could try but it would not be front page news anyway.  Also if you remember right, Edward doesn’t really put a lot of stock into the media reports.  There are a lot of great things to come yet, so have patience and trust.  No stones will be left unturned.   Thanks again for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER: Phil and I walk into Jenks’ office. I decided that I no longer want any of this shit spoken about at the club. Bella loves the club and I didn’t want any additional bad feelings in it for her.

“Jenks, Benjamin,” I say taking a seat; Phil nods at them.

“We’ve found the last of the girls and even another case that was not dropped.” I look at them and they hand me a picture of a girl I have actually met and I’m in shock. 

“They have DNA from a brutal attack and rape of her,” Jenks says as I look over the paperwork behind the picture.

“You’ve got to be kidding me?” I say and they both shake their heads.

“Now you really need to look at this,” Jenks says handing me another stack of paperwork.

I read the papers and frown. “How the hell did he make Chief of Police?” I ask rhetorically, not really asking anyone.

“I’m really not sure on that one, but he will lose his job with all of this.”

I sigh rubbing my face. “Make it happen,” I say and stand up, walking out the door.

“Edward?” Phil yells after me.

“Phil, just let me calm myself. I’m really close to losing all of my control. The more I find out about Charlie Swan, the angrier I become with him.”

Phil nods in understanding. “There’s a boxing ring a few blocks from here, how about we get padded up and go for a few rounds?”

I sigh and look at him, but I stop myself from speaking. I can see he’s clearly as angry as I am. “Sounds good, just watch my face,” I say and I hear him chuckle.

“Yeah, Bella will kick my ass if I hurt your pretty face. Do you think she’s ready for Saturday?”

I shrug my shoulders. “We’ll work together to get her ready, and then we’ll all be there for her on the other side. No matter what, I know she needs to do this, even if I hate the idea of it.”
