I know...that' what ewdard is saying...as usual she is not seeingfg the whole picture ...

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)

Mary,

While this chapter was published some time ago on fanfiction, I am just catching up on this site so that this site has all 147 chapters as well!  lol

no problem, thank you for your review!

I trust me too ;)  If anyone deserves to have his heart's desire come true, it's our nudger Whit.

E&B's relationship is so beautiful and I think a big part of that is all the complixity that comes with Edward being so far out of his normal routine with her. Can't wait to see where it goes next!

thank you!

Well no big surprise that a lot of you were not happy with the cliffhanger, yeah, expected that.  Some of you are very perceptive on future things to come as well.  There will be some BIG shockers in the next chapter, and we are super stoked to hear your thoughts on those.  Few questions we got from a scan over the reviews were: posting schedule? We post on Sundays.  What are rose and the other Cullen’s up to?  Revenge served Cullen style.  Can parents really be that asinine?  Yeah, actually they can, sad but true.  Is Tanya really that stupid?  Well, yeah, clearly she can be.  Is someone messing with Bella’s medical records? No.  Why is Charlie such a asshole to his daughter?  The answer to that will be in chapter 19.  Who let Jacob and Paul into the club and how?  Tanya, and since she worked there she knew how to get in, without being out in the open.  Wasn’t Tanya kicked out of the club?  Tanya was on a warning, but because at the time Tanya was still under Sir Stephan, her entrance card would still work.  You’re only writing around 25 chapters, can’t you write like a 100 instead?  Um, well we have other stories killing our minds, so yeah without sounding harsh, we’d rather write something new then run this into the ground and make people hate it.  I think that covers most of the questions; there are a couple questions asked that will be answered in the next chapter.  We cannot wait to read your coming comments on chapter 18!  Nikky & Kasi~

Coming up with a teaser for this next chapter was not easy because there is a lot packed into it.  So we hope that you like this: 

“You asshole,” I hear Bella scream. I turn in time to see Bella flying at Paul.  Moving quickly, I try to pull her off him and she shakes me off and keeps hitting Paul as hard as she can. As she hits him, she continues to scream calling him names and chastising him. “I fucking hate you. I really fucking hate you. I hope you rot in hell, but even that’s too good for you!”

I pull her to me again.  “Enough,” I say into her ear, but I know by the look on her face she hasn’t heard me.

“What the fuck are you laughing at, Jacob? Eh, you’re a sad pathetic loser who’ll more than likely die from a sexually transmitted disease.” Turning her head between the two of them she continues on. “Neither of you are anything or will be anything. You’ll both always be nothings! Go fuck yourself, because I really don’t think anyone else will, not willingly anyway. I won’t back down this time. I will take both of you to court. I will tell the world what you’ve done.” Jacob runs toward her and I turn us so Jacob starts hitting my back. It takes all my strength to hold on to Bella as she’s still trying to get loose. Only a few seconds pass and Jacob is pulled off of me.

Wow, you all just blow us away with the response for each and every chapter, so on behalf of Nikky and I, THANK YOU ALL so very much.  There are a lot of questions about what all happened to the evil witches at the college, well that is coming to you soon.  There really weren’t any questions asked that we could answer without giving away the ending of what they all have coming.  We are currently working on chapter 22, but it’s going well and there should be no waiting for it to post, it should post on time.  Most of the story wraps up in 21 and 22, but there will still be chapter 23 and for sure chapter 24 and maybe a chapter 25.  The ending is almost writing its self and it all is going really smoothly.  We hope you enjoy the way this wraps up.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Hope you all like this teaser ... Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER: 

I get out of my car and walk toward the club. I can’t help but walk with a skip in my step, knowing very soon my girl will be meeting me here.

“Edward,” someone calls from behind me. I turn around and my mouth drops open.  Standing there is a much disheveled-looking Tanya. I look down at her as she rambles on, but I don’t listen. She’s wearing dingy, yellow slacks that are at least two sizes too big. The gray t-shirt she is wearing has what looks like coffee stains all over it. Partially covering her crusty, dirty looking shirt is a rather ugly purple, ripped-up, fake leather jacket. Her hair is very frizzy and looks like a huge afro on top of her head. To top it all off, she has no makeup on and looks ghastly pale. I hold back my laugh and just look at her.

“Are you listening to me? I said, ‘Do you see this?’ Look at me, please, you need to let me have my life back,” she whines out at me. “I need proper clothes, and a salon.  Alistair would freak if he saw how horrid this is. Please help before I have to have it all cut off,” Tanya says as she pulls at her hair.

Thank you all for reading and reviewing.  We love reading all of the nice things that you all have said.  Thank you again for everything.  Some of the biggest questions we had was these:
I thought Bella was having a girl? – Bella thought she was having a girl, but Edward thought boy.
Have Charlie and Leah been involved sexually? – No, Charlie is a real yuck, but he honestly thought Leah was his daughter.
How in the world did James get away with the things he did to Jake and Paul? – Money and having influential friends does a lot in any situation.  Besides this is fiction and there are not many if any people who did not want Paul and Jake to both get a tiny taste of the stuff they all to willingly dished out to others.
Is there an Epilogue after 25 or is 25 the epilogue? – The story is 25 chapters including the epilogue, so no more after 25.
Do you have more stories coming out since this is coming to a close? – We currently have a one-shot we did for Christmas that has an epilogue yet to post.  Then we have the one-shot we are writing for Moo AH, which we will post sometime in January.  We will be starting our new story that is sort of an ugly duckling Bella story, and for a change it will be in Bella’s POV and we’re excited by this prospect.  We also have an Escort story coming soon, and it will be fantastic.  We have another story we are doing for a fandom fights program, this time it is for domestic abuse—this will be a story written with jess2002 joining us.  We also will be posting a story to the facebook group page.  The two groups it will post at are: TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction and it will post at Secluded Wings.  Everyone’s welcome, we are an adult only, drama free environment. 
Is Phil going to end up with Sue? – No, but there is a bit of a story there yet to come for them both.
I think that wraps up the majority of the questions we have been asked.  I hope that you all like this teaser it is COMPLETELY unedited, because we haven’t even gotten 24 to the beta yet—speaking of which the last 2 chapters – 24 and 25, may have a few more mistakes than normal, since we are down 2 of our team because of the holidays.

Thanks again for reading and reviewing our story, Nikky and Kasi~

Teaser:  I hold Bella’s hand as we walk in with Adam into the doctor’s office.  We’ve both been worried about today, this is his first set of injections.  “You’re sure you’re okay to hold him?” Bella asks me again as she holds Adam close to her.

“Yes, I’m okay to be the mean parent today,” I say again with a little chuckle. “Beside you don’t like shots.  Since they scare you when you get them done on you, I know this is really going to be hard on you,” I say.  I remember that I had to hold Dean for his four month shots because Rose couldn’t even be in the same room when it was getting done, and Emmett was sick.

Bella frowns at me and I chuckle kissing her lips. “It will be fine, I promise.”

“But he’s only two months and still small.”

I pull her and our son to me and hold her close as I look down at my sleeping son.

“I know, believe me, I know.  Sweetheart if weren’t important for him to have these done we wouldn’t be here.”

Bella nods and lets out a sigh.

“I really can’t believe she’s breast feeding him in public,” a woman says loudly to the other woman sitting next to her. 

Both Bella and I turn to look at her and then to a young woman about Bella’s age who is breast feeding her baby.

“These teens today have no respect, whatsoever.  They act like whores, get pregnant and then plop their breasts out for everyone to see,” the woman sitting next to the woman who first spoke replies.

I look to Bella who’s looking at the young girl that is being spoken about so rudely.

“It’s girls like her that go out lead a guy on and then cry rape when it gets taken further than they wanted.  But just look at her showing all off all her goodies here in public.  Whatever do these stupid trampy girls thinks is going to happen?”

My mouth drops open at the woman’s cold words.

“Hold our son for a second,” Bella says passing AJ into my arms as she gets up.  At first I think she’s going to the restroom but instead she turns walking directly over to the two women.

“As you seem to make sure that your thoughts were spoken loud and clear enough to everyone that’s in the room, I thought I should make my thoughts clear.  First, neither of you have any right to judge that girl on anything she’s doing.  So what, she’s feeding her baby, it’s a baby who is clearly hungry and being cared for.  If you don’t like it, then don’t flipping look!”

My eyes open even wider hearing Bella use one of her clean swear words.  I start to get up to head over to her.

I'm so glad you are enjoying the story .... thanks for taking the time to review ... as for Carlisle we will have to wait and see.... :)

Seph

I'm glad you like the story.  I never have liked the wolves, too arrogant. Carlisle is always a goody goody and that gets boring so i thought he could be a jerk for a change.  Caius has the answer needed to stop Aro.  next chapter should be up today

Seph

Carlisle is just basically greedy ...   Thanks for the review .. 

Seph

Thank you .... the eyes are both healing nicely the right one was just a little worse than they thought ... thank you for taking the time to review ...  next chapter will be up tomorrow

Seph

yeah .... I never planned on letting that stand ... what surprised me is nobody said a thing about it ...

thanks for reviewing

Seph
