Thankyou for your review...

Thanks for the review. I loved writing about her sticking up to Tanya, I think it's funny how desperate she acts. I'm glad you're enjoying the story and I hope you keep reading and reviewing.

Aw thanks for the very sweet review! It's hard to write the abuse parts, but it has to be there in order to get to the sweet parts afterward.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I've loved writing these characters and am sad to let it go.

They do have a lot of lost time to make up for. Thank you for reading and for your review.

It's going to be interesting.. that's all I'm saying. Thanks for reading and reviewing. The next chapter will be up in a week and I will post a teaser on Monday's Fictionators blog.

It's time Bella and Edward get to have peace and happiness, they've had enough sorrow and pain to last several lifetimes. 

Thanks for the review.

Thank you so much for reviewing. Here is a teaser for the next chapter.

The ground around her was soft, softer than she remembered when she fell. Bella kept her eyes closed; if the animals that attacked were still around, she thought it was best if she played dead. After all, she had been passed out for who knows how long and she was still alive, lying still was her best bet.

She strained to listen, and when she didn't hear any noises, she opened her eyes. Bella gasped when it wasn't the open sky she saw but what appeared to be a roof of rock. Her surroundings were dark but not pitch black. It had been dusk when she ran from Ben, and the fact that it still was told her she hadn't been out long, or else it was days.  It hadn't felt like days.

She didn't have time to notice the small hole that was the only way in or out of the spacious cave or the fact that she was laying on a bed of moss, because a large snout came over her face and sniffed.

This was a tough chapter to write.  I wanted him to find out sooner than later, but I didn't want to make it fake.  If Tyler would have come to him and basically escorted him to the hospital it would have been way out of bounds.  I have an EMT in the family so I know the rules they have to go by.  I hear some amazing stories, but I'll never know the patient's name or where they live. 

It was also tough deciding what I was going to do with Charlie.  I love their daddy/daughter relationship but being that I don't have one it is always so hard for me to write a good - realistic - one.  SO, he's going to be the biggest douche bag in the history of the world.  Still undecided if he'll change in the end.  I may have to, because I do love Charlie as a character. 

James...............this is the hardest guy to deal with.  In a perfect world he'd be hit by a bus coming to the hospital.  In Vicious I can't let him get killed so easy.  He's still going to be around, but he will definitely get his in the end.  The bad guy always loses, you know!

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.  It helps me see what readers thing and want to see.  I take all comments into consideration. :D

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. 
Nikky and I would love to thank whoever the people were that nominated us in so many catagories for the Twi-Fic Awards.  We are nominated on four different stories: His Cimmerian View, Meeting Her Needs, Diamond Dolls Kitty Cave and Crabs And Cream.  We were also nominated in the veteran author section.  The link to vote can be found on our profile, and if you don’t vote for us, vote for someone.  There are some AMAZING writers, stories, banner makers and readers all nominated for awards. 
Be sure to check out our spook-tackular — Halloween 2013 One-Shot (This is our 3^rd year in a row doing a one-shot for Halloween,) it is called: Crushes, Canines & Clowns. 
Can’t wait to see what you all think of the two stories listed above, and please go vote.   
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.

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.

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.
