I understand how Edward live in a state of denial. It is a great coping mechanism. I did it after my dad died. I didn't deal with his death for about a year. I was away at school so he was not part of my daily life. Then it het you like a ton of bricks. I am glad that Bella is able to be there for Edward. She understands death of a parent.

I guess I dont' get the big deal. They waited until they were older and understood what true love was. They will make it. They have always been close. The family will just have to think of their relationship a little differently.



Author's Response:

Exactly...this is a mountain out of a molehill all due to perception.  What they are doing is not wrong, it just appears so because of circumstances.  Esme Sees this.  Carlisle's just worried about everyone getting hurt if things go wrong.  And Emmett is confused because while Bella never really got to the brother place with Edward...Emmett did and feels like he would if they had been biological bro and sis.  He'll get past it eventually, but for now all the chaos is based solely on perceptions, which often create chaos when none should exist.

Well Emmett didn't take it well. I didn't expect that. I thought that at least he knew Edward would protect her and keep her safe always. I did not expect him to want to beat the crap out of him. He know Edwards is a great guy from a great family. He knows that Edward loves Bella. I expected shocked not pissed.

Young people. They don't see the whole picture. Everything cant usually be worked out if you try hard enough. You can't turn down Julliard. Bella can try several schools. NYU is another amazing school if she can't get into Columbia on such short notice. There are lucky that money really is not a big problem and Bella is a smart girl. They will make it in New York just fine. If Edward want a career in music, Julliard is where you want to go if you get the chance.

Reviewer: sonogal Signed

The parents just need to realize that either they go to New York together or they stay in Washington together. Bella and Edward have to show them that they are committed to this relationship. It isn't a faze. They are old enough they can get married, if they can't get family support for their decision. They can also get grants and loans if needed. They just have to show them that they are a package deal.

They did it their way. It was how their relationship was. They had to leave their family to be a couple, but they made it in the big city. It might be financially tight right now, but in a few years it will be better and they did it all on their own. Their parents should be proud at the strength of their children and their love for each other.

When you know you know. I agree why wait. They are not children. There is not reason to wait to enjoy the rest of your life. I knew I was going to marry my husband the night I met him. It became official 1 month later at a family reunion. We married 1 year later. We have been married 18 years. You just know. I never understood the concept you will grow to love someone or dating for 6 years with out talking of marriage. These are the crazy people.

That's how it was for me too.  I didn't want my characters to be in high school precisely for that reason.  I've been married a loooonnngg time (over 20 yrs)....if I'd overthought it, I may have chickened out.  Most days I'm glad I didn't LOL.  Thanks for the review!

Great chapter. I worry about Bella's turning to alcohol so often whenever she gets upset. She downs drinks way too fast and too often. I think she is using it to self medicate for all of her other issues that she does not want to address head on.



Author's Response:

Don't worry.  It's not going to get that heavy in this story.  She's drinking less than the average college senior...just cutting loose while on vacation.  It's actually the only way i can coax her into doing these outlandish things that are so out of character.  Thankfully she's not on any meds. ; )  Thanks for reading and reviewing!

This was a funny chapter. I visited my aunt in southern California once and she went to a church where mass was held outside on nice days. I think the Priest must have studied at the same  seminary. I have been to Catholic Churchs throughout the country, but that one was the strangest. The Priest wore shorts and flip flops under his vestments. I was only 7 at the time and I still remember. I love the swing dance part. Edward in a white jacket is so hot.

I am so glad that Bella put Alec in his place. She is getting stronger. I thought Bella on caffeine was funny. Jet lag will do crazy things to you. I am glad that Bella woke up with her wits together since Edward was going crazy at a "stranger in his bed". It could have been a bad scene at first if she was disorientated. Can't wait for more.

They better take these baby steps or Bella is not going to be ready to be intimate. Edward would not want a scared bride on their wedding night.

Edward had a wonderful proosal. I like the idea of him wearing a bracelet for his engagement jewelery.

I thought Edward was so funny. Edward wanted to be a little classy. He wanted to show the cute butt and leave the room. He knew she could not handle the real thing with how she acts at the movie version. She better grow up and soon.



Author's Response:

she hasn't seen the movie version of his butt in a long time...i probably would have bitten it.  lol  Thanks!

Emmett needs help. I don't think he will make it to the wedding. I think they should run off to Vegas and get married and then have the big church wedding in 2 months. This way Rose won't kill the groom.

I am proud of Bellla for standing up to James. This was a big step.

Bella is improving.  Emmett needs a smack...but don't let Rose fool you, she adores everything he does....no matter how embarrassing.   Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I actually was thinking that but I could not remember how long they have been celebate. Rosalie has been acting weird for awhile. It get hard remembering when you go from EdwardsPOV and then back to Bella's POV. Bella needs to do something for Esme for Mother's Day since Edward is out of country and she will be her mother in law real soon. It will make her feel better.

I am so glad that Rose and Jasper's dad finally stood up and put his wife in her place. Just because you have baggage doesn't give you the right to hurt people. Thank God for Esme for standing up and telling Lillian off. I am happy for Emmett and Rose. I just don't want to be them when they have to tell their good friend the priest. How much longer till the wedding?



Author's Response:

Father Pat's cool...that won't be a problem (it happened before Emmett promised to abstain).  I agree with what you said about Mrs. W...we all know someone like her.  yecchh.  Em and Rose are getting married in late July...so about 2 1/2 months after this chapter.  Thansk!

Bella and Edward can have a private wedding at the church in Forks. Then in the afternoon they can have a bigger reception at his parents house. The not everyone needs to be invited to both. They would also get some alone time inbetween.  Bella better get ready to see his peen. It is not going to wait forever.

okay..that last bit had me laughing pretty darn hard.  out loud!  ah, I'm better now.  You read my mind with the first part.  We'll have to see what happens..all I know is that I want a spot on the shuttle bus with Emmett..everyone will be partying before reaching the reception.  lol.  Thanks so much!

I had a feeling he was returning on monday. He hates when he can't be their for her and when he was working extra long hours and couldn't skype with her. I had a feeling. I am so glad they are together on this day. Bella was so funny talking about not wanting to take classes with Emmett. Those classe will be funny. I remember when we took ours. Some of the subject matters will make Bella blush especially with Emmett in the room.



Author's Response:

unfortunately my church was so small that hubs and i took ours privately with just the priest...it was kinda boring.  nothing embarrassing came up..so I'm going to have to make this stuff up as I go...lol.  ours were a million years ago too....  Thanks!

I am so glad that they finally got their prom. It seems that everyone enjoyed the evening, including Charlie. I was sad to hear that Edward is having nightmares. I can't wait to read his view to find more about these bad dreams. I am sure he is exhausted. He has not had any time to adjust to the time change. You would think that Jasper would have learned to not trust Emmett about anything. I would run anything serous by someone else. I would not take Emmett's word on very few things.

ah Emmett...such a pain... they will all get their revenge before too much longer.  Thanks!

Some lowly actress must want to get her name in the papers to restart her career after she has a baby. Edward would not lie about something like this. Bella needs to understand that Edward has his ghosts as well. He can't always be the strong one. Bella might have to be the strong one on this subjuct at least for a little while.

Parents should never answer the phone when they are busy or at least not let their kids know what is going on at the house. It doesn't matter what age they are kids don't want to imagine their parents as sexual beings. Carlisle probably enjoyed embaressing Edward though. This girl is pretty stupid for doing this scheme. It is going to backfire. Edward is loved in the business.  If she did it to get her career restarted after the baby, the studio people are not going to want to work with someone that tried to hurt one of their big stars. It is going to hurt her career more than help it.



Author's Response:

lol. Bad Esme and Carlisle.  Edward probably wishes he was still keeping everyone at arms length sometimes.  ha.  We'll hear more about the pregnant chick in the next chapter...maybe 2...Thanks!

Bella was so stupid not to listen to Edward and stay home. She should have called Edward. She should have called the hospital. She did not even get the "deputy's" name. She just freaked out and put herself in danger. She wonders why Emmett and Edward have to watch her. She can't take care of herself. She needs security. She has no common sense.



Author's Response:

She should have called the hospital or a deputy she knew...like Deputy Mark.  Edward wouldn't have answered the phone because he was interviewing.  She just panicked...unfortunately it's a hard lesson to learn.

I guess my parents taught me to be rational during stress. My dad and my husband are both retired military. Learned from a young age to never go off half cocked. When my dad died in a plane crash, I was nineteen. I can handle details under stress.



Author's Response:

my dad was retired military also...veteran of 3 wars actually.  I inherited his logic...but i also inherited my mother's crazy.  She is really tough...i mean when Dad was stationed in India she didn't let him go alone like some wimpy women would have...she hauled all of us over there and even gave birth to my little brother while we lived there...It was not an easy place for Americans to adapt to either.  We ended up loving it. 

BUT she will freak the heck out and fly off the handle quite easily.  Very high strung....made for an interesting childhood let me tell you.  I tended to hide ... a lot .. lol.

Well seeing Meghan must have been a kick in the pants.  I know that he doesn't have feelings for her, but I bet is was a shock. Bella sure gets these crazy bouts of diarrhea of the mouth. She is going to go crazy for the next 60 days with Edward around all day and night. I can't believe Edward was saying Bella was driving too fast. This can't be the same Edward who has a Vanquish. Maybe she just wasn't paying attention. She does have a problem with daydreaming.



Author's Response:

He was beyond shocked to see Meghan.  Without giving too much away, I'll say this:  he's lived in hatred of M. for years and kind of flipped out when he saw her.  they did have a conversation which flipped him out more.  He adores Bella...has no feeling whatsoever for the ex.

Bella is a goofball...drunk or sober.  I guess that's where her character has the most ME in her.  pfft  i control it better than she does...but when it's just me and hubs..yeah i tend to babble in silliness.  I've posted the photos that 'inspired' the Diva shots on the V&V facebook page, if you're interested (link on my author page).

The driving...my hubs and i both own Mustangs...his is a LOT more valuable than mine...mine is a 66.  He takes me out on joyrides and guns the car and I don't complain....let me drive 5 miles over the limit and he's practically in tears.  i think it's a guy thing. lol.  Although I think Bella tends to look at Edward more than at the road....i'd probably do the same and wrap the car around a tree. *sigh* Edward eye-candy.

Edward and Bella are so generous. I hope they decide to continue to help out the center when they have time after his sentence is over. It will keep them grounded and fulfilled. It means more than just giving money. I am happy that they found their home. It sounds like they have enough land that they can build guest cottages and other out buildings if they need more space for more than the family.

Emmett waited until the wedding, that was all Father Pat asked of him. He kept his promise. He didn't say he would wait until the end of the wedding. He said his vows. She said hers. The priest pronounced them man and wife, that was good enough. He still has to go back and sign the paperwork. I hope he remembers to do that before the reception. You have to love Emmett.

I think Bella is getting lonely staying at home. Everyone is busy at work. It will get better once they get in the house and are closer to Rose and Emmett. Once the baby gets her Rose will be off work for awhile. Bella will hopefully meet some nice neighbors. Bella is used to having school work to keep her busy as well as her writing. Now she only has her writing. She is more outgoing and no one to share it with when Edward is working. Maybe Bella can bring her laptop to the set and write in his trailer. She will be there for his breaks and still working on her book. She can see Shane, but not all her time on the set is with him.
