Please, for my sanity...... get Renee out of this story. And for that matter, Charlie too. I think they deserve some really painful painful moments. Kill them off in style.

Author's Response:

Well without a doubt I think it is a clean sweep, everyone wants to either: kill, beat or maim Renee.  Nikky and I both want to thank you all for telling us all of this.  To us it means more knowing we were able to evoke those kinds of feelings in our readers, than any of you can know. 
There have been a few people laying threats about bring charges or else I will walk from the story.  I want to address that by saying, Bella is not as weak as she used to be, and trust that the cards will fall exactly as they should.  Renee’s story is set in stone for us, and we will not deviate from how we planned it.  Neither of us wants to say, Renee will go to jail and Renee will suffer this and that way ... What we want is for this story to unfold as it was and is intended to do so.  All we can say is trust in us enough to know that we will not let a story go with things unfinished. 
Now we do need to address the several comments about how Edward needed to step up and be the Dom and take control at the hospital and how Renee wouldn’t have been allowed to do what she did.  Sadly if a person is an adult and is unmarried and doesn’t have a power of attorney signed over to someone else, medical choices fall to your nearest blood relative.  Edward trying to control things would’ve most likely gotten him removed from the premises, and we’re sure you’ll appreciate how well he brings out the Dom soon.  Some questioned if the hospital would’ve kept Renee out being it was her fault, but unless the police were involved the hospital is in a hard situation. 
Finally we want to say again that we will continue to post every Sunday night/Monday morning, until the story is fully written.  Once the story is fully finished we will post twice a week until it is completely posted.  Thank you so very much for reading our story, reviewing our story and loving our story so much.

Teaser: 
“I love you Mom, and want you in my life,” Bella says.

I feel my heart start to race, but I hold back the yelp that wants to come out. I’ll beg her if I have to; I need her in my life. I can’t live without this girl. She may’ve only been in my life over a short period of time, but she has quickly become everything to me.

“And I hope one day you can forgive me,” Bella says looking to me as she speaks. “But I need Edward more, a lot more. I know that I will never be enough for you or for him, no matter what I do. I know that Edward deserves so much more than what I can give him.” 

I shake my head and walk in. “Not true,” I say with a smile.

“But, here’s the thing, he’s a good man, Mom. He has such a big heart and he would never hurt me physically in any way. When—and I know it will be when—he leaves me, he will make sure that I am still okay. He makes me happy. He makes me want to live.  He’s the reason I’m still alive.” Bella’s eyes fall to my feet.

“Don’t start that silliness again, Isabella.” Renee starts chastising my girl. 

I walk right up to Renee and glare at her. “Quit treating her like a pet; she’s your daughter.”

“Say your goodbyes, Isabella. You’re coming home with Phil and me.”

Bella shakes her head. “No! I can’t and won’t leave with you. I love you Mom and I will be here when you forgive me, but I’m staying with Edward, if he’ll still have me.”

I move quickly to Bella and look into her eyes. “You’re more than enough for me. You’re so much more than I ever dreamed of. I’ll always have a place for you in my life.” I lean my forehead against Bella's.

Yes, hating on Renee. Phil seemed nice, hopefully it is true, gee, Bella needs someone at least half way on her side besides her new friends.. Love the fact you made Rose nice but still tough.Loving the story !

Author's Response:

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.
