Hi Cheri

Thanks for reading and reviewing chapter 25.

I'm glad you like the Thanksgiving scenes - I was a bit worried about them.

Jimmy will get his just desserts - never fear.

Next chapter in about a week, so stay tuned.

Thank you for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.
Cheri~  I must tell you that I personally was in awe of your review, to have anyone compare me or us in the same catagory as Michele is an honor.  I have been a fan-girl of Michele's for a very long time, and she has always been very good to me.  She rec'ed the hell out of my story A Sub Search and I did the same for her on People Like Us.  We are many many many miles apart her and I, but from the few conversations via email we have had, I think very highly of her.  So thank you, it is a complete honor and your words have been taken to heart.  XOXO...  Now on with the review reply...  We are both extremely proud and excited at the response this story continues to garner.  Thank you for being one of those who leave us some love.  To heed off a bunch of extra questions, we want to be clear that all three of them (Bella, Seth, and Leah) have birth certificates, social security cards, and were born in hospitals. Bella lived with her birth mother for a while (more will come about this soon), then she went to live with her father and step mom (cough.. MONSTER).  Bella does not know anything about her actual information; she has been kept ignorant for MANY reasons.  Bella does however have all the needed info for the kids, a part of that is because of Zafrina and Aro assisting her in getting the needed paperwork found.  As for Edward, you will continue to see the changes she causes in him, and at least they are for the better.  Thanks for the story love and we look forward to hearing from you again!

Here is the teaser for chapter 8… Subject to changes during BETA process… of course.

I shake my head.  “We are fine Isabella, you can return to what you were doing.” She gives me a nod, turns, and walks away.

“So that the famous Isabella then?” I can’t tell by his face what he is thinking.

“Yeah, that is her, so first thoughts?”

He lets out a sigh and rubs his head. “She’s what, twenty-four?”

I nod my head.  “Well, in three weeks she will be.”

He walks with me towards my kitchen. “Well, she sure is small and not just in height.  She looks like she has missed some essential nutrients over the years.  She’s very pale and the dark coloring under her eyes would lead me to believe that she doesn’t sleep much and she looks to be extremely tired.  Her pupils show that she needs more Calcium, and Iron. She also looks to you for permission to call me Jazz.  She seems to be unsure of what she is, and isn’t allowed to do.” He stops talking while pouring himself a drink. I pull at my hair having not learned anything new about her.

I make us lunch as we continue to chat some more, but not about the topic I want to discuss, Isabella.  I make some extra food for her on the off chance that she hasn’t eaten anything yet.  After what I saw at the mall and what Jazz just confirmed, I assume she more than likely has skipped lunch. I decide to make up some sandwiches to go with the soup I am making.  I can’t decide on what kind to make, so I make four different kinds.  Everything is done, and I carry the covered pot of soup to the table. 

“Isa. . . Ouch, what the fuck, Jazz?” I ask rubbing my head where Jasper just slapped me.

“She is not your pet, Edward.”

I glare at him.  “Jasper, I know that, I was just. . .”

Cheri~

HI, we are sending out this reply to everyone, and answering any questions above and beyond what this does not cover along with it.  First in the story right now Bella is 18 years old and will be turning 19 in September.  The twins are just turned 7.  Bella’s mother died when she was very young.  Charlie, Bella’s father is dead, and Sue, Bella’s step mom is the one who left Bella with the twins when Bella was age 13.  We don’t want to give away anything else about Bella at this time, it would ruin parts of the upcoming storyline if you learned it too fast.   As for Edward, he is our dark and troubled man with a horrid view on all women.  He and his story and back ground are coming out, over a few chapters, there is a lot to learn.  I have to tell you that while working on chapter 5 of this story I myself was so mad at Edward, I wanted to rip off his balls and feed them to him.  Ultimately Both of us are HAPPY EVER AFTER KIND OF WRITERS.  We are both extremely proud of this story and the reviews, readers, and following it is getting.  We have had a few people ask if we minded if they pimped us out and the answer is of course, please do.  It is an honor to have other authors think our story is worthy of reading, reviewing, and recommending too.  Thank you again for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.

Here is the teaser for chapter 4, of course it is subject to change during the BETA process.

Today is Friday; I know that I have about twenty minutes or so before Isabella comes out.  I head over to the café that is still open to get a coffee, it’s thirsty work stalking someone.  After getting flirted with by the waitress, I walk back to my car with my cardboard cup of coffee.  I see that the security guard is locking up.  Checking my watch, I see that Isabella has about five more minutes before she will be done for the night.  I run over to him, worried that he is accidently locking her into the building.

“I think someone is still in there,” I tell him as I approach him. 

He looks at me strangely.  “Hey professor Masen, are you feeling better?”  The guard asks as he continues to lock the doors.

“I am feeling much better, but I really think that one of the cleaning girls is still in there.  Did you check, I never saw her leave?”

“I have checked all of the rooms, and corridors.  There is nobody in the building Professor.  The last cleaner has just left, and she always leaves last.”

I close my eyes, and run my fingers through my hair.  “Okay, do you mean the small girl with really long brown hair?”

He nods his head and points off the direction she always walks, nodding his head as he walks away.  I’m sure he thinks I have lost my mind.

I move quickly over to my car, and start to drive down the road that she walks.  I come up to the park she cuts through, and don’t see her anywhere.  I park and get out of the car, slamming my door shut as I head down the trail she takes.  I hope I can catch up with her.  I have really lost it, fuck I don’t know what is going on with me right now.  This whole stalking thing is really not been good for me, fuck in a strange way I will miss this when I go back to work on Monday.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View and being such a wonderful part of our success in writing this story.  We both put a lot of time into this story and we are very grateful to have the following that we have gathered.  Because of the upheaval going on in Fan Fiction we are both concerned that HCV will or could fall victim to the haters and be removed – should this happen be assured that this story can be found on TWCS under the same name and it updates on the same schedule.   We are also going to be posting a blogspot for this story and all of our stories, therefore we will always be able to be found.  So rest assured that HCV will go on, no matter what.  A lot of you are asking about Sue and when her return will come.  We have made no secret that she will make an appearance, but before she does there are a few other things that will happen.  At this point her return will not be for a few chapters yet.  There are a lot of comments about Rose and there isn’t much about her in the next chapter, but after that there will be some things coming up.  As we have said other times there are approximately 30-35 chapters within this story, and there will be around 6-8 Out-Takes posting...The Out-Takes will post under the name ‘Enduring His Cimmerian View’.  There were not a lot of questions, and we have covered most of the comments concerns or worries, but if you have more questions you can always find us on Facebook under TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction.  There are always people leaving comments and their theories there, come join the conversations.  Kasi &(Nikky)

Chapter 22 Teaser...subject to changes during BETA process.

We spent most of our day watching Christmas movies, and for supper we had a huge spread of really fattening foods.  I had Eric prepare for me several wonderful dishes.  I had wanted something easy for today - something that wouldn’t take away from our family day.  The dishes he made only needed to be warmed up before serving.  The kids loved it, but then again, we had some great things to choose from.  Bella really loved the extra cheesy enchiladas and the lobster bisque.  There were so many things to choose from that we had enough leftovers to last us for the next few days.  After we ate, we cleaned up the kitchen together. 

We all settled down in the living room after the clean-up was done for our new tradition.  After we were all settled in, I passed out a few gifts to each person in the room.  “Okay, here are a few gifts that you get to open before we go to mass tonight.”  I made sure to pass out the gift bags that held our new matching clothing that Esme had chosen for our first Christmas mass together.  I had asked Esme to help, and she did, but then refused to let me pay her back for the gifts.  Esme said that the new outfits were from her, and that she was happy that I and my new family were going to attend services together.  

“Edward, we can wait and open these gifts tomorrow, can’t we?”  Bella asks.

“No, Baby; these gifts are for tonight for our church service together.  This is our first Christmas mass we get to spend together and these gifts will help make it more special.  They are from Esme, who wanted to help make this special.  There are gift bags for each of us.  Okay everyone, open them up and let’s see what we have.”

Many of you are wondering what he deal is with Edward and the talk of his lost son.  In chapter 5 there was a dream sequence that told a lot of what happened that fateful day when Edward found out Tanya was using him, to get his money.  She was not pregnant like she had told him, the problem is the night before they had unprotected sex, and she actually did give birth to his child.  Esme found out about it, but hid it from Edward trying to protect him.  Tanya and Edward junior later died in a fire.  There will be more to come on that, but it seems to be getting a lot of questions.  Now for Alice...She is clearly a not nice person in this fic, and to some she will partially redeem herself, but for some there is no redemption, her words and actions are far worse than any you have seen from Edward.  Siobhan is for the majority out of the picture, so she is of no major worry.  Uncle Harry is a very mean man, and there will be more to come about him.  We love our Aro he is one of the kindest and most loving men and we are proud to have written an Aro who is not only out of character, but also so very loveable.   Bella has come to trust Edward, and it shows.  A lot of you keep asking if she will sleep in the step-moms room, or if Edward will talk her into it...the answer to that is no.  The next few chapters have so much going on in them, I am sure that you will all have favorite parts.  We love hearing what your thoughts are so keep asking questions and we will answer what we can without ruining the plot. 

Thanks for Reading and Reviewing

Chapter 15 teaser...Subject to changes during BETA process...

It’s Saturday, and we are into the countdown to Thanksgiving.   Alice has called me numerous times, and left well over a hundred text messages and voice mails.  I have dealt with each and every one of them the same way. Without reading or listen to them, I just hit delete.

Esme found out during one of my talks with Carlisle about the stunt Alice pulled.  At first, I thought she would take Alice’s side, but was stunned when I found her on the phone giving Alice a piece of her mind.  Jasper has also said that he and Alice are talking, but not back to normal yet.  Jasper is really pissed at her.

Yesterday, Esme called me, and to my surprise, she asked me if I would still come over for Thanksgiving dinner.  She told me that she would understand if I did not want to come.  She said it was my choice, and she would still make my dinner if I wanted and bring it over to my home or Midnight Sun.  Not once did she try and force my hand.  After much thought, I said that I will be there.  I do enjoy spending time with the guys, even more so in the last few weeks.  I know they all were hoping for me to come, and I know I owe them a lot. I told them that I will join them and stay, as long as Alice and Rose keep their mouths shut. Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper, have promised to keep them under control.

Things with Bella are still going really well. Too well, in fact.  She…fuck! Every time I see her, I want to hold her close.  It’s no longer just me having dirty thoughts about her, a lot of dirty thoughts about her, which I still am, but I also want to hug her, lie with her, make love to her, and that is really fucking scary for me, for lots of reasons.  I am worried, because I wonder if she could even cope in that type of a relationship. I have been a pussy about it, because I haven’t had the guts to ask Peter or Jasper what they think.  I know it’s because I am afraid they may say she couldn’t handle it, or I am not good enough for her.  I already know that I am not, but one can always hope for his own redemption.

I am so happy to see that you are interested it he story that Nikky and I will be spinning here together.  The storyline has a lot yet to reveal, and if you already like it so much, than there will be a lot of fun and exciting things for you to come.  We plan to post every other Thursday, however it has been flowing well and if our Beta's can keep up we will post weekly for the time being.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Chapter 3 teaser, subject to changes during the beta process…
Fuck my life! I have been here in a hospital room all night, on a heart monitor.  They made me turn off my cell phone.  I was in so much stress; I should have had them call Emmett last night.  I am sure that I am in hot water with them all, for not showing up.  I am waiting for the doctor to come in with my test results.  It felt that I was having a heart attack, or something.  I really hope that was not the case, I mean come on I am only twenty-eight.  I am an overall healthy man.  I exercise and don’t eat a lot of fattening foods.  I mean people my age don’t have heart attacks, do they?

“Good morning Mr. Masen, I am Doctor Hall,” he says holding out his hand for me.

“Good morning,” I say shaking his hand.

“Well I read over your case notes from last night and this morning, how are you feeling now?” his face is giving nothing away.

“I feel a lot better than I did last night, everything has returned to normal.”

He nods his head writing notes on my file in his hands.  “How long have you been getting suffering from heartburn?”  He looks at me questioningly.

“On and off for the past three four months,” I say letting out a breath before talking again, cutting off Dr. Hall.  “Look I don’t mean to be rude, but what happened to me last night?  Did I have a heart attack?  That is how it felt, can’t you just tell me?  I mean really let me know what was happening, and then I will answer all your questions?”

He put down my file and stops writing his notes, as he sits back in his chair.  “I am sorry Mr. Masen I tend to get ahead of myself.  Last night you suffered a rather harsh panic attack,” he says. 

All I am thinking is this guy is off his rocker.  I mean really where did he get his medical degree, Mickey Mouse Club House, or the bubble gum machine?

Thank you for reading and reviewing our story.  Nikky and I are very proud of this story and it takes a lot to write things sometimes that even upset us.  We really needed to show just how darkly tainted Edward is, and unfortunately right now many of you hate him.  I know it will take a lot for you to relinquish those hatred feelings, but we hope that we are great enough writers and story tellers to achieve making you like him again.  We know it is always easier to burn a bridge than it is to rebuild it, but we promise to put forth the effort in doing so.  We want to thank you in advance for your votes, support, rec’s, and for just being on this twisted journey with us.  This story will be somewhere around 30 chapters when all is done and said.  We hope that you continue to read and review and share with us your thoughts.  From the bottom of our hearts, and to the moon and beyond... Thank you.

Kasi (& Nikky)

Chapter 6 Teaser… All Subject to change during the beta process…
The shitting feeling is still there, and I have no idea what the fuck I can do to get rid of it.  I head over to Jasper’s office hoping to see him.

“Jasper says that you can go in now.” I look at the woman speaking, and I give her a curt nod as I head into his office. “Edward,” I look at him and he stops talking, and tilts his head to the side.  “Okay, what is going on, what happened?” He asks as he waves at me to sit.  I sit down on the seat across from him and rub my face.  I sigh unsure where to start, so I jump up and start to pace the floor.

“I screwed up, and I mean I really screwed up this time.  Jazz, I fucking hurt her, and I mean really fucking hurt her.  I don’t know how to fix it.  How I can get her to forgive me for what I have done?  I mean, fuck I’ll be lucky if she even speaks to me again.  Well really I know she will because she, fuck, I don’t want to say she is weak, but if I talk to her she will reply. How do I make right Jazz, without putting myself out there?  I don’t want to get hurt again, I could with her and I can’t go through that again.  Fuck, but I don’t think she do that, to anyone really.  She’s not made that way, but I have really gone and hurt her bad.  I never gave her a chance, I was still. . . no, I am to fucking scared.  In this case I think I made a new friend, but the dream. . . and I thought she stabbed me in the back like all the others.  I see her face in my dreams, the last two nights have been worse than all the rest.  I can see how much I hurt her, and the bad thing is she did nothing to warrant my anger.  All she did was fucking help me, time after time.  So many times, and she has been so hurt before and I know it’s been bad.  I can see it clearly in her eyes, the pain and the fear.  What if I push it what if she can never let anyone in ever again because what I did.”  I am still pacing and pulling my hair, I am so upset.  “Fuck Jazz I was a real fucking prick, and complete asshole to her.  Tell me what I can do?  Please I need to fix this, tell me how I can fix it please?”  I beg him as I feel my breathing speed up.  Jasper who was still sitting in his chair looks at me and suddenly comes out of his trance, as I feel the cold sweats start.  “Please Jazz you need to tell me how to fix this.”

Thank you once again for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  As you can see Edward’s view is changing and for the most part it is better.  His time at Aro’s will take a drastic downward spiral soon, once he realizes that without thinking of Bella he is rendered unable to perform.  He will struggle with this mentally, and as you will see from the below teaser he will finally seek some assistance.  A lot of you are worried over his reaction to her age, and how soon that will all unfold.  I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but I will say that you will all want to be sure to read chapters 17 and 18 rather closely.  Jess2002 who has been on board for discussions since the beginning ideas of this story said to tell you that in her opinion chapter 11, will be over-shadowed by chapters 12, 13, and 14.  There are some really great chapters coming up here and according to what I am hearing from the pre-readers they will make the story even better.  There are also a lot of questions coming in about Charlie and Sue Swan.  First Charlie Swan will most certainly not be making a show in this story, he is dead.  His death is what sent Sue into premature labor.   Second, eventually even if just for court, Sue Swan will make an appearance.  There are a lot of people in this story that will bring drama to the surface, and there is a lot of story yet to come.  Thank you for your continued support in us and our story.  We hope to hear more from you again soon.  We will be right around 30 to 35 chapters when complete.  See you next Thursday.

Chapter 12 teaser…subject to changes during Beta Process.

Jasper sets the bag he carried down, and lets out another sigh. “Edward, as your friend I am here if you need to talk. As a psychologist, I strongly recommend that you talk to someone soon. Edward, I do mean soon, because you’re not helping anyone by getting so worked up. What just happened is a form of an anxiety attack. Your fear almost caused you to have another panic attack. They are not just going to go away. You need to talk to someone to help deal with it.”

I look at him, then close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. “You can’t help her if you stay on this path, Edward.  She needs to talk to someone too. Just think of how you would feel if she doesn’t talk to someone. What if it was her who keeps putting it off, and you have to watch her slowly lose it and get closer and closer to the edge.”

I nod my head at him, fuck I would drag her to see someone if I have too. “Make me an appointment, for at night not during the day. Just let me know when it is, I will be there.”

Jasper nods his head at me. “Have a good night, Edward.”  My head rests against the door after Jasper leaves. I feel the restriction in my chest, the sharp pain, shortness of my breaths and my heart is pounding. What is fucking wrong with me, I can’t believe I get myself so worked up about Bella, but fuck I am so fucking glad that was not why he was here. It doesn’t mean that she is okay. She could be lying hurt in the fucking park all beaten and broken. Well, more broken than what she is. Fuck, don’t think like that.  Zafrina would have called me by now. Bella is fine. She is at home in bed. I’ll get to see her tomorrow; when I drop off the bags of clothes. If she is all right, that is. She didn’t go to the police the last time. Maybe they went after her again, knowing she is an easy target. God only knows if it has happened before. Just because she went home, doesn’t mean that she’s okay. Anything could have happened. Fuck, it is after midnight, it’s not like I can go over there and knock on the door. I just want to check on her, but if I go over there she will think I am nuts. 

I pace my floor pulling at my hair. I should call her. I would know by the sound of her voice if she okay or not. Fuck, I can’t call her at this time of night. Why in the fuck can’t she just take the fucking bus, instead of walk? You know what, just fucking call her. Fuck!

I pick up my phone and dial her number. Just after four rings someone picks up.

Thank you for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  Nikky and I are both just so blown away by the response our story is garnering.  Thanks to the many recommends and pimping we have been getting.  Thanks for the response of our fans that make and send us banners and poems and mostly the kind words of love that give us the drive to keep HCV going strong. 
There have been a lot of you all asking for the Bella point of view, and you are going to get it.  The next chapter will have a lot of things going on and we hope you love it.  The age reveal will be in chapter 17, along with a first kiss, the kids going off to camp, Edward and Bella together and meeting up with Sally...those are a few things you have to look forward to.  We started a group on Facebook, you’re all invited to join.  TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction. 
Now to the nitty gritty... 
We both wondered how many of you would ask if Edward’s son was really dead or not, and if Tanya was dead or not.  We want to be clear that Tanya Denali and the child she gave birth to are in fact deceased; they died in the fire.  
We want to point out that Edward is not a Dom.  He role-played and dabbled with the girls at the club, because it was his way of maintaining full control.   He has no desire to tie Bella up and spank her, he is not looking at her as his next submissive or slave.  Just want to be perfectly clear, he is not into the BDSM lifestyle, he is just a man who was seating his needs at a club the only way he saw fit to do so and protect his heart and soul. 

Thank you again for all of the story love and wonderful things you say.  You really have no idea what your words and kindness mean to us.  Thanks, Kasi (&Nikky)

Chapter 17 teaser...subject to changes during Beta process.
Right now, we’re back at Bella’s apartment getting Seth and Leah’s stuff ready for their trip.

“Okay, Seth, you have everything from your list in your bag, right?”  I watch as he nods his head, and chuckle to myself since Bella had just checked over the list and the bag with him herself.  “Leah, do you have everything from your list in your bag, too?”

“Yes, Bella. Edward and I just went through the list twice.”  I turn my head to hide my chuckle. 

“Okay. Well, we have to be at the church in forty minutes, and since Edward is taking us, we have time to double check.”

“Baby, Leah and Seth have everything they need. How about you go pack your bag now, and feed Jake?  I will help Leah and Seth take their backpacks down to the car.”

“Okay, I will hurry,” she says, leaving to go to her box.

I can tell that Bella is trying to put on a strong front for them, but I know this is killing her to let them go on this trip. It will be good for them, though, and good for her, too.  I have planned out this weekend so that she gets a chance to be a twenty-four year old for a change.  After we have everything packed and ready, we head out.

I drive them to the church, seeing a bus and a bunch of children.  I also see Sally there, and I frown as I pull into a parking space.  “Sally works in the Sunday school. She’s the main reason they are going.  She is taking her cell with her, and said that I could call her anytime.  She is also going to have them call me before bed, and when they get up in the morning.  You can stay here if you want. You don’t need to come with me. I won’t tell her who you are.” I turn to look at her, and smirk because she answered my internal question.

I shake my head.  “No, I am fine, Baby. Thank you.” 

The night of the break in, I explained to Bella that I went by a different name at Aro’s, and the girls I was with, had never seen my face because they were blindfolded.  I was very glad that she just nodded her head, and didn’t ask any other questions.  I hate the fact that I’ve been with them.  I don’t want my sins to show in her eyes when I look at her each time I remember that she saw me there.  When the time comes, and she finds out what I did and what happens there with me and the girls, I hope and pray to God that I don’t lose her friendship.

We get out of the car and start walking over. As we do, Sally waves, making her way over to us.  Her eyes hit me for only a few seconds before she looks back at Bella.

Hello to our faithful bunch, thanks for reading and reviewing chapter 20 of HCV.  Nikky and I really are so grateful to all our wonderful readers and reviewers.  In the author’s note I asked all of you to tell me what your favorite line from the story so far.  Here is Nikky’s from chapter 19 – "Have a good night, and keep Little Edna in your pants. And I do mean your pants. Close the door behind you when you're able to shut your mouth and leave." I stand there for a minute with my mouth hanging open, before shaking my head and leaving.   My favorite quote so far is from Chapter 20 – "I will use the adult terms, and try to stick to the given terms of penis or vagina, but please, for my sanity, can we not call my cock a winkie?"

Many of you are wondering who is behind Bella being hurt.  Bella actually fell, but it was what took place at the college before she left that caused her the issues to be as sick as she is right now.  In the next chapter that person and their actions will be handled, and handled quite well.  Some have worried that we may have Bella been brutalized or raped and we want to be clear that we would not ever do that in this story.  We both agree with you that Bella has been brutalized and hurt enough from her so called loved ones to cause her anymore brutalization.  There was an attack against her at the college before she left, and as I said that will be handled quite well. 

Thanks again for all of the wonderful attention and recognition you all give to His Cimmerian View.  Your responses mean the world to us, thanks.  Kasi (& Nikky)

Chapter 21 teaser…subject to changes during beta process…

I make it back to my car quickly.  I open her door sitting her in her seat and strap her in as best I can. “Baby, you’re in my car, I’m going to get you to Carlisle.”  I kiss her head, close her door, and run around to my side.  I get in and start driving without waiting to put on my seat belt. I switch the heat on high. “Baby, I got the heating on for you. We’ll be there soon.”  Please God let us get there soon!  I fiddle with my cell getting the hands free turned on, so I can call Carlisle.

“Hello Edward,” I hear Carlisle’s cheerful voice come across the hands free.

“Can you get to the Hospital, right away?  Its Bella, she is hurt. I found her in the park unconscious. She has a head wound, and she’s been lying in the fucking snow for about an hour.”  I try to calm my voice, the last thing I need to do is break down.

“Edward, I’m on way back to the hospital now.  I just left a few minutes ago. I should get there before you do.  I will let you go. The last thing we need is for you to crash.  I’ll be outside with a team ready for you when you get there.  Drive safely, son.” Carlisle disconnects the call, not waiting for me to reply.

“Baby, we’re almost there. Come on Baby, wake up for me.”  I stroke her face, while driving around the fucking cars that are in front of me.  These people are idiots, they are driving like old people fuck, slow and sloppy.  I commit many driving penalties, yet I am driving better than anyone else out here.  I’m sure I’ve been caught on nearly all the speed cameras that are up.  I sigh out in relief as I come up to the hospital.  I pull up in front of the emergency doors and I see Carlisle already there.  I pull to a stop and he waves to the door and opens Bella’s door with his other hand.  He picks her up turns and places her on a gurney.  I jump out and catch up to him.

“Hey you can’t park there,” I hear. 

Turning around I see the security officer glaring at me, and I throw him my keys.  “Then you move it,” I say.

He catches my keys, and looks at me.  “I am not here to be your valet.”

I turn back and glare at him.  “Then call and have it fucking towed, I don’t give a shit.  My girl is… fuck!”

I feel Carlisle pull on my arm.  “Mitch please can you park the car for my son, she is in critical condition.”  Mitch looks at Carlisle then to me and his face pales, but he nods his head.  I feel the air leave my body, she’s in critical condition!   “Edward I need you to calm down and come with me.”  Carlisle pulls me along with him and I head to the trauma room.  I see them removing her clothes.  “Edward, do you know why her clothes soaking wet? Even under her coat is wet. There is no way this all occurred from her lying in the snow.” I shake my head at him, because I don’t know. I stand back and watch them work on her.

Thanks for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  The next chapter will be a great one for sure, but as a loyal reader and reviewer pointed out so far most of the chapters have been just that... a great one.  I know many of you are sick of Rose, and we assure you that there will be closure there soon.  There is not much redemption for a character like Rose, however there are things happening that will at least show that Emmett is not in fact an idiot who allows Rose to be poisonous to all.  Many of you are worried that the introduction of Mr. James Hunter will be a dangerous situation for Bella.  James Hunter has been in the story all along, and he is a very volatile person, and there will be more to come that involves him in the near future.  Alice is showing a bit of a change, but I think she knows she has made her final stand alongside of Rosalie.  Keep in mind within days of chapter 24 posting that Enduring His Cimmerian View will post and the first out-take to post will be Bella’s POV up to and through chapter 24.  We waited to give you Bella’s POV until Chapter 24 posted for a very good reason... sex.  Yep get out your big girl panties and prepare yourselves for that, because it is going to be posting on Thursday, the BPOV will post hopefully next Saturday.  There weren’t a lot of questions, but there is still some confusion.  Rose and Jasper are Esme’s niece and nephew, whom Esme and Carlisle were given guardianship of when they were around 10/12 respectfully.  Rose is older.  Edward’s mother is MIA, but for all accounts and purposes he believes she is still alive.  Bella’s birth mother was Renee who died of Cancer when Bella was 3.  Charlie is Bella’s birth father and he is dead.  Sue Swan was Charlie’s wife and Bella’s Step mother.  Harry Clearwater is Sue Swans brother, and tormentor of Bella.   We are excited to see your reviews from the next chapter as well as the BPOV that will post.  Kasi (&Nikky)

Chapter 24 teaser... subject to changes in the beta process.

I’m in the middle of teaching when my phone rings.  “Excuse me. Tia, please carry on for me.”  Tia gives me a smile and takes over from where I left off.  “Hello, Caius. I was just going to step into my office.  How can I help you?”

I hear some chatter in the background.  “Edward, I’m sorry for bothering you.  Everything here is a big clusterfuck right now.  I was just calling to give you an update on the Bree Tanner situation.  We’ve had three more ex-students come forward with allegations claiming that Mr. Hunter did similar things to them, so the state police have taken over the case.  I was one of the people they called in to assist, as they’re planning to speak to all of his ex-students. The officers got here yesterday and worked through last night and this morning.  They need to speak to you, as well.” I sigh, rubbing my face, even though I had already expected this information. “This looks really fucking big, Edward.  From what I’ve gathered, he targets a student in their junior year, mostly just degrading them at first. Then, when they enter their senior year, he starts to get physical with them at the same time he begins the process with another student.  The three girls that came forward were manipulated into sleeping with him.  Due to the fact they were all over eighteen at the time, they can’t get him for statutory rape, but are charging him with aggravated rape and extortion.” 

I pull at my hair, hoping that James gets a shitty lawyer. A good one could use this to their advantage. “What’s the bond amount he’s being held on?”

There is a loud sigh and a chill travels down my spine.  “Nothing. He was released pending charges after questioning.  The charges were just filed, so now the officers are on their way to pick him up again.”  We talk a little more about some other things before saying our goodbyes. 

The rest of the day passes in a blur. The State Police being here is making life more stressful than it already is.  Marcus sent in extra counselors and staff to help out with the backlash of shit that’s going on in Forks. 

By the end of the week another three ex-students have come forward claiming that Mr. Hunter forced them into physical relationships with him. A current student has also come forward to say he had just recently started verbally abusing her.

Thanks again and again for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  As the story comes closer to an end, it seems we have a lot of questions or comments that are geared toward answers already given in the story.  So we decided to give a little background to clear up the misconceptions and questions. 

Edward Masen: Father is dead, mother is bi-polar and left him in the care of Esme and Carlisle.  Mother is alive, but whereabouts are unknown.  Edward met ‘Tanya’ in college, they had a short affair and she left, after being caught in trying to get money from him.  Edward then shut down and treated all women as if they were not worth his time.  He refused to date or trust any women and he instead only was with a select few at Aro’s club, where he paid for sex.  Edward owns the restaurant where his parents used to take him to eat at, before his father died and his mother went off the deep end.  Edward is also one of the youngest English professors at UW. 

Bella Swan: Bella was born the child of single mother Renee Higbottom.  Renee met Charlie during one of his planned scams to get money.  Renee was very rich, as were her single father.  Charlie ended up impregnating Renee, but he was already married to Sue Clearwater.  Renee paid off Charlie and Sue to leave her and her child alone, but then subsequently died of breast cancer when Bella was three.  Renee’s father fought for custody, but grand-parents rights are not acknowledged in the state of Washington, therefore after Renee’s death the state went in search of Charlie Swan.  Once he was found Bella was placed in his and Sue’s care.  After Bella went to live with Charlie and Sue, she was treated iek a slave and was never allowed even normal things such as schooling, food, new clothes, and every other basic thing as parents we give our children without second thought.  Bella grew up starved for affection, so once she got to take care of the twins she gave all that affection she has been starving for to them.  Her love of the twins is unconditional as is their love for her.

I hope this helps answer a few questions and clears up a few things.  I’m not sure why, but we have several who think Sue is Bella’s real mother, and that is not the case at all. 

Thank you again so much for all the wonderful heartfelt reviews you all leave for us.  It is amazing to us that we have managed to instill such a deep devotion in our readers to our characters, and we are blown away by just how much emotion our readers feel for our characters.  I know that the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer, but these characters and the way they are in this story are in fact ours, she owns the names and appearance descriptions, but the attitude and demeanor and words are all ours.  Thanks, Kasi (& Nikky)

TEASER Chapter 28: Subject to changes during beta process.
I am so proud of Seth and Leah this past month has not been easy on them, but they have held their heads up high and got on with it.  There has been some name calling at school.  Now I know kids can be cruel but the things that they are saying, is coming from older mouths first.  Things no parent should be saying in front of their children.  Bella and I have addressed the school regarding the problems, but we’ve been brushed off like nothing is going on.  Mrs. Crown the principle said that people will talk.  She went on to point out that I was after all, Seth and Leah’s father, and I was shaking up with their big sister.  The way she said it, implied that Bella and I were doing something wrong.  After her rather rude little speech I called Caius and explained the whole thing to him.  To say that he was angry is putting it mildly.  He went as far as taking the principle in front of the school board, and she was put on a written warning.  Not only is her job and tenure in jeopardy, but her career as a whole is.  Since we have proof that she knowing let kids and adults harass the kids, she was warned that a lawsuit would be filed if the behavior continued.  Her biggest mistake was she was aware what the twin have been though these past five months, yet did nothing to help stop the harassment.

Caius informed me of another school that had room for more students.  It was little school that only had a little over one hundred students.  It went from kinder-garden to fifth grade and each class had mix of around fifteen children per classroom.  It was a private school, and ranked in the top ten of all schools in the state of Washington’s education program.  There was a sister school that managed the grades sixth through twelfth, also ranked in the top ten.   Both schools are quite prestigious and expensive, but cost is of no matter.  There are a few nice things the school is located close to where Esme and Carlisle live, but that also causes us transportation issues for to and from school.  Both Bella and I have talked about this and we all talked about it in family therapy.  Seth and Leah asked to just finish out this year of school where they are before deciding.  We agreed that this was the right choice for right now.

Wow, you guys are all so amazing, it will be bittersweet when we post the next chapter and click that button saying it is complete.  We want to really thank all of you so much for reviewing, we know hundreds of others read, but didn’t review, so we really want you to know that we are grateful and appreciative of the time you put forth to send us a review, no matter how long or short.  When the final chapter posts you all will have the chance to read an author’s note from us both.  Nikky has written hers and I have written mine.  Normally I just write them and include whatever Nikky wants me to touch base on.  I am super stoked because we actually stand a chance at getting our reviews over 5000 at FFN and we just pushed over 1000 mark at TWCS.  We are both so excited and thrilled with the turn out for our story, so thank you in being a HUGE contribution to those warm fuzzy feelings we both have over the story love we have gotten.  THANK YOU!  Be sure to get Enduring His Cimmerian View on your watch list, because the next POV chapter to post is Jane and there will be a large dish of justice served Jane style in it.  Thanks again to you all for the wonderful things you’ve had to say!

My pleasure and thank you x

I've been horrible about replying to reviews over here. I'm so sorry. Thanks so much for reading and dropping me a line. Glad you're enjoying the story!

Oh, the ring. *sigh* It's not nearly as dramatic as everyone seems to think. ;) It's really just because they didn't think he'd give her anything other than his grandmother's ring. There's a story behind that which will come out as the story unfolds. 

Thanks again. Updating shortly! 

Sandra

Hello,

Thank you! That's so kind of you to say.

Lissa

Hello,

There's no greater compliment to a writer than hearing that their story lingers in someone's mind. Thank you so much.

Lissa

Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed and that you agree with me! I always wanted more Edward/Bella time during the pregnancy as well. Reading from Jacob's gave us vertually no Edward/Bella moments! Hence the inpiration of this little one-shot! Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts!
