I know a lot of people think Dougie is funny, and that's great, but I have never really liked him all that much, and this chapter just put him right over the edge with me.  She was trying to avoid trouble by going over to the table where Eleazer and Tanya were sitting, but he doesn't seem to care, and things just go downhill from there.  And then egging her on with the stamina argument.  I'm sorry, but to me he seems like a bully sometimes.

So excited for a sequel!  I love these guys!

I can't wait until the next update.  I am soooo tired of Tanya, and I seriously hope that Edward and Bella wake up and come to their senses!  Such a great story!

Nice to see Edward and Bella getting quite a bit of time together lately.  Sometimes, the relationship does seem a little unbalanced.

I am so happy to see Edward standing up for Bella like she deserves, but I feel like we haven't seen the last of Marcus.  I don't think a restraining order is going to do anything to stop Tanya and Jacob, and if Emily is involved, that just makes it worse.  Hopefully Bella and the babies will be okay.

How awful of Bella's parents to treat her that way.  It will be interesting to see how it progresses through her pregnancy.  Also, her being in LA, where Edward is.  I can't wait to see how he ends up finding out.

I think she's going to tell him they can start slow.  Not together, maybe not even really friends.  But at least talking.

I don't know which line is my favorite.  Honestly, I just love how delusional Alice is.  Please PLEASE let them press fraud charges against her!!!!

I think their poor counselor has their work cut out for them.  That was a crap apology on Edward's part, and Bella is just plain stupid to accept a proposal before they talked, and then apologizing for being a brat?  And as his wife, he's still not going to put her first?  What if they have a baby?  Does the baby come third?  Fourth?  She's never asked him to turn his back on his family, so where he keeps coming up with that is beyond me.  At least she knew about the snooping, but what about trust?  She knows he doesn't trust her, but she's marrying him and having a baby anyway?  They still need a lot of work before they are ready for that.

I'm not as worried about Victoria as I am James.  My brain keeps trying to decide if he's going to go down to the island to go after Alice, or if he's going to try to go after Bella while Edward's gone.  Either way, I'm nervous about what's coming.

I really hope that Edward can make it home for the awards, even if it's for a couple of days.  I think it's complete crap that Edward has to bail Carlisle out after he treated him so poorly.  I wish he would just say screw it, but I know he's worked so hard to keep the resort up, and doesn't want to see all of his hard work going down the drain.  Is it wrong of me to hope that Esme is still making him sleep on the couch?

I hope they find Edward and the kids quickly.  I can't believe Paul didn't even care that he shot his own son.  It doesn't get much more sadistic than that.

While Alice may have brought up some very valid points, I feel they were negated by her nastiness.  She didn't even try to listen to anything Bella had to say.  I agree that she may have been taking her anger over her breakup out on Bella, but that was just not right.  Rose and Em handled it much better.  I hope she can continue to confide in them.

I hope Thomas gets herpes.

I'm so glad you decided to continue this story!  Can't wait to see what happens next!

Can Renee get hit by a truck, please?  Actually, that's too good.  We need something drawn out and painful.

Yay!  You're awesome!  :o)  I can't wait to see what happens next.

OMG!  What an evil place to end it.  Lol!   Can't wait for more.  I love that she's beating him worth a pool noodle.

It makes me sad to see everyone hating Bella so much.  I don't agree with the way she left, or the way she pushed Edward away, at all.  But I understand her need to feel independent again after everything she has been through.  She was doing what she thought was best, even though everyone disagreed with her. And at that age, who didn't do stupid things and screw up every once in awhile?  I'm certainly in no position to cast stones.  And unless one has gone through the kind of experience she has, I don't think anyone can know how they would act during the aftermath.  Many people push away the people they love.  Does it make it right?  Certainly not, but it happens.

All that said, my hope is that she has truly learned her lesson this time.  And if she hasn't, he is absolutely right to walk away. He cannot keep letting her hurt him the way she has been, intentional or not.  And he needs to be honest with her about that intention.

I am still not very happy with Edward.  Yes, he is treating her so much better, but if he keeps up the dirty little secret shit, then Bella needs to go postal on his ass.  I have a feeling Tanya is going to end up ruining this for all of them for awhile.  And can we get an AMEN for Renee finally sticking up for her flesh and blood?  I get that she wants to fit in with her new family, but her letting them treat Bella like shit was making me want to punch her.

I am so sad for her that she is pregnant.  Right now, it's safe to say that the only people I like in this story are Bella, Alec, and Jasper.  The rest of them can all go to hell.  Oh, and I would be happy to send Tanya there by running her over with her stupid, pink, Miata.

Okay, Renee is now officially no better than Tanya or Rose in my book.  And if that's what Em thinks about Alec, maybe someone just needs to blow up that whole house.

I think she's in shock.  Once she has some time to really think about it, she'll see he's doing the right thing.  I'm also sure she doesn't want to believe that the man she thought she loved is capable of such horrible behavior, and she never saw it.   I'm not sure him telling her he loves her as he was going off on her was the best choice, but it's out there now.  I'm so worried that she's going to try to withdraw into herself.

I called it!  I knew she was in shock, and as soon as she realized what happened, she would see that Edward was right.

I love this story, and I love Bella (and Edward, too!).  I hate that she has so many haters!

I really like Elsa, and it seems she's going to Bella a lot of good.  I can't wait to see the strong, confident woman that I know she's going to become!

Great chapter!  I was so worried that their confrontation was going to be worse.  I love that she was able to tell him off and he didn't set her back.  Thank goodness he'll be off the streets now!

Right now I just want to give Bella a hug.  She's hurting so much.  I think, in the end, she will be happy she didn't go through with the abortion.  But the way Edward is treating her, like she owes him something, are you KIDDING me?  You killed her entire family!!!  She owes you nothing!  Yes, you spared her life all those years ago, but what kind of life does she have now.  Heartbroken on her wedding day, pregnant with the child of the man who murdered her family, not able to trust her cousin who couldn't leave well enough alone, and now kidnapped and stuck with her husband who is apparently not going to let her go.  I really want to punch Edward right now.  I know he's hurting, but it's like he doesn't care if she is or not.  And what happened with Tanya...I hope that doesn't become a recurring thing.

I hope she and the baby are okay.  Tanya better watch out!

What a sweet story!  I love it when bitchy Alice gets put in her place.  It would be so fun to see the story from her POV.

Yay! Yay! Yay!  I'm so excited Eddie and his Coffee Girl are back!

Yay!!!!!  Awesome chapter!  I can't wait to see what Eddie does.
