THIS CHAPTER WAS HEART WARMING AND SO SWEET. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THEM FINALLY BLEND IN AS THE FAMILY MAGGIE HAS LONGED FOR AND DESERVED. THANKS
Author's Response:
So thrilled that you liked the chapter. They are definitely becoming a family, and it means so much to both Maggie and Edward. Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!

A beautiful, happy family. I could imagine Maggie's face when she realised that she could do as she wished with the decorations.
Wonderful.
Author's Response:
Yes, they are really becoming a family, aren't they? Maggie was utterly thrilled when she realized she could do whatever she wanted with the decorations. Kind of sad though, isn't it? Thrileld that you liked the chapter.
Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!

Wow Heidi was nice???? Surprise Surprise. Loved the simplicity of shopping. Maggie's little snarkyness was cute. Loved the playfulness in the kitchen. Glad Maggie is getting comfortable with B and Dad. Really sweet Christmas party prep time.
Author's Response:
Yep, Heidi finally came around. Almost losing Maggie put things in perspective for her. Glad you liked the shopping, and Maggie's playful snark. She really is getting comfortable with Bella and Edward together, she's starting to see it makes all of them happier. Thrilled that you enjoyed it all. Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!

The are too cute and it must be a sixteen yr old thing because my 16 year old son thinks my husband and I are gross.
Author's Response:
lol, I remember finding my parents pretty gross at that age when they were being mushy. And I'm glad you think they're cute! Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!
Date: 07 May 2013 9:38 PM Title: Chapter 28 - The Market
Like I said. Been there and had that done to me. Bella deserved thanks. Heidi had her big blow up with her daughter and she was upset. Even if she is not a great mother she still loves her. So she is happy that it worked out.
Author's Response:
Yes, Bella did deserve the apology and thanks. Heidi nearly losing Maggie put things in perspective for her and yes, she does love Maggie. Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!
Date: 07 May 2013 9:23 PM Title: Chapter 28 - The Market
That was wonderful!!! Bella brings so much into that home that Edward and Maggie were missing. Great chapter, happy to see them all getting along and enjoying the holiday. Heidi can piss off now, she threw away the relationship with her husband and daughter! LOL
Author's Response:
So thrilled that you enjoyed it. Bella really does give E&M what they were lacking. Glad you enjoyed all of the time they're spending together. And yeah, Maggie will have a good relationship with her mother, but she and Bella and Edward are really going to be a family. Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!
Date: 07 May 2013 8:44 PM Title: Chapter 28 - The Market
aww it was beautiful!! I am glad that Heidi came to thank Bella.. hopefully this means she will not be a problem anymore!
Author's Response:
Thrilled that you enjoyed it. Yes, that was a big step for Heidi, wasn'tit? And yes, she's not going to be a problem. They certainly won't be friends, but they'll be able to work together for Maggie's sake. Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it so much!

I bet Heidi wants Bella's help with Maggie. Either that or she wants to thank her for helping Maggie. I have been there before as a step mother. My step daughters' mother asked for my help when she was a teenager. I told her I would try but I was just her fathers wife so I wasn't sure she would really listen to me. We were very cordial. It helps when all parties involved work together.
Author's Response:
Love hearing the theories on how Heidi might react. So glad you're finding this realistic. I'm making this all up as I go along, so I love hearing from people who have dealt with it in real life. I am so pleased you liked the chapter and thanks for the nice review!

Holy cow! Poor thing, when it rain it pours. Get that girl an umbrella, aka: Edwards arms.
Author's Response:
Such a cute analogy. Not to worry, after her talk with Heidi, she'll be headed straight for Edward's arms. Nothing is a better umbrella than that! Thanks for the nice review!

I THINK MAGGIE'S REACTION WAS A NORMAL TEENAGE REACTION. THE FACT THAT SHE CAUGHT HERSELF AND FELT BAD ENOUGH TO APOLOGISE TO BELLA SHOWS HOW MUCH SHE'S MATURED. AS FAR AS GOSSIP AT WORK THAT TOO WILL NEVER CHANGE, NOSY BUSYBODDIES WILL ALWAYS BE JUST THAT. HEIDI IS ONLY LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME OTHER THAN HERSELF AND BELLA IS AN EASY TARGET. SHE WONT STOP UNTIL EDWARD AND BELLA STAND STRONG AND UNITED AGAINST HER.
Author's Response:
Great thoughts on Maggie's reaction. You're absolutely right that she's matured. And yes, sadly there will always be gossipy, rude people. Love hearing the theories on how Heidi might react. I am so pleased you liked the chapter and thanks for the nice review!
Date: 30 Apr 2013 11:29 PM Title: Chapter 27 - The Marketing Department
Geeze-Liz's crap, and now Heidi? What a shitty day!
Author's Response:
There were a few good things, but yes, that was definitely a shitty day for Bella. Thanks for the nice review!
Date: 30 Apr 2013 9:36 PM Title: Chapter 27 - The Marketing Department
I'm sure the gossip was expected especially when hey had lunch together on her second day in her new job. Maggie's really growing up, she was upset and lashed out at the first person she saw. A few months ago she would have done the same thing then stormed off, blamed anyone but herself and then sulked about her punishment. This time she's apologised and accepted her punishment without complaint.
Great story.
Author's Response:
Yep, they definitely expected the gossip. Glad you liked the way Maggie's grown up. You're absolutely right about the way she would have reacted months ago. She's learned a lot since then, and it's huge progress for all of them. Thanks for the nice review!

I'm happy to see that Maggie is starting tp realize that her parents both have needs other than her. Sad that she lashed out at Bella but happy that she realized right away what a mistake it was. She might just be growing up!
I get the awful feeling that Liz isn't finished with her trouble making and will only blame Bella when she gets herself fired.
I say "christen the marketing break room" in case you needed a push in that direction. LOL
Author's Response:
So glad you're liking the way Maggie is growing up. She's definitely realizing her father has needs other than her. She did lash out, but overall, she did really well, and apologizing and talking it through with Bella actually did more for their long term relationship than if it had gone perfectly.
Haha, sorry, they won't be christening the marketing break room, they got away with it once, but that's a bit too risky. Thanks for the nice review!
Date: 30 Apr 2013 6:34 PM Title: Chapter 27 - The Marketing Department
Glad her new job is going well. Ugh Maggie, Liz, now Heidi? poor B. Things are cookoo sometimes. Bella handled Maggie really well.
Author's Response:

THE SLEEPOVER WENT WELL BUT..... YEAH ONCE HEIDI IS BACK IN THE PICTURE THINGS WILL CHANGE AND I HOPE BELLA REMAINS STRONG. AS FOR ALICE HMMMMM! WE'LL SEE WONT WE.
Author's Response:
Glad you liked the sleepover. Bella and Edward are prepared that things might get rougher once Heidi is back in the picture. Bella is strong though, she'll handle it. And I promise, Alice is coming around, and she'll be meeting Edward in person, soon! Thanks for the nice review!

Wonderful surprise for Tanya and B. He is so sweet. Love that he went to graduation for her.

a very well thought out chapter to say the least. they absolutely made the right decision to continue keeping "the secret" but c'mon were talking edward here. yes it was very thoughtful of edward and maggie being there to support bella even if it was from afar. great chapter as always.
Author's Response:
So glad you liked the chapter. I have been planning that one for a while. So glad you liked Edward and Maggie surprising Bella at graduation. Thanks for the nice review, I appreciate it!
Date: 17 Apr 2013 8:37 AM Title: Chapter 25 - University of Portland
Edward and Maggie attending Bella's graduation was a wonderful surprise. I wonder if Alice will be more accepting of him when she and Bella spend tomorrow together.
Great story.Author's Response:
So glad you liked the surprise. I think you'll find that Alice is much more willing to be open-minded about Edward now, and they will be meeting in the near future. Thanks for the review!

Maybe I missed it, but what's the meaning behind the leaf and pearl charms?
Author's Response:
Haha, my pre-readers asked me that, too. There isn't actually any deeper meaning. Just thought it was a pretty little necklace, and it looked like something Maggie would pick out for Bella. :) Hope you aren't disappointed that there isn't more to it! Thanks for the review!
Date: 17 Apr 2013 12:13 AM Title: Chapter 25 - University of Portland
I loved Edward and Maggie showing up. The necklace and spa were great, but the being there was the best present to Bella in my opinion...such a sweet touch. Glad Maggie was involved in the whole thing.
Author's Response:
Aww, glad you liked them showing up. Bella would completely agree. She loved the spa, and the necklace and meaning behind it, but them both being there was the most important. Maggie is really starting to like Bella now that she's getting to know her and there will be lots more Maggie and Bella interaction. Thanks for the review!

Great chapter

Great chapter. More progress with Charlie is always welcome.
A kindle is a must for any reader. Cell phones are too small to really read on without eye strain. I have my kindle everywere. Grocery lines, dr office, bathtub (hee hee), dinners when im alone. My middle son loves his too. hint hint. hee hee. Maybe she could do some chores to earn money for one? or a volunteer thing?
Author's Response:
So glad you liked the chapter! I promise, there is more progress with Charlie as we go, too! I use my tablet with my Kindle app, and use it ALL the time. That's a great suggestion about chores or volunteering! Christmas is coming up though and Edward miiiiight just get her one for that. ;) Thanks for the review, I love getting feedback on the story.

He would support her? That was really nice? hardly

Maggie is a young woman she is too old to be a child and she is definetly not grown.
This will estrange them if they don't work together.
Author's Response:
It's a difficult time being a teenager when you're not quite an adult or a child. They will work it out though, just give them time.
Date: 03 Apr 2013 12:31 AM Title: Chapter 16 - The Entryway
Okay I have been here before. Exwife and daughter gang up on new wife/girlfriend. Been there done that. He was getting a divorce when we met and we did not marry for 4 years. So. You see you can not win in these deals. My daughter in law is 50 and we do not talk. I have forgiven her over and over been blamed every time she and her dad have a problem. So finally I said enough I no longer speak to her don't write her buy her gifts nothing. I just encourage him to call her but all that finally hurt their relationship.
Author's Response:
Yeah, it's definitely a difficult situation all around. And unfortunately, I think a lot of time the relationship between the new girlfriend or boyfriend and the kids can be really difficult. In this case, Maggie and Bella will eventually grow to care about each other, it's just going to take some time, and a lot of patience on Bella's part.
Date: 03 Apr 2013 12:15 AM Title: Chapter 13 - Bella's Living Room
Alice had her point of view stated it and then she just kept on. It is after all Bella and Edward's decision. This is why she needed to keep this to herself.
Author's Response:
Oh yes, Alice should have stopped long before she did. And yes, it is Bella and Edward's situation. She probably should have kept it to herself, but it's hard not to walk to confide in a friend though.
Date: 03 Apr 2013 12:02 AM Title: Chapter 12 - Bella's Desk
I bet Heidi knows. Bella is not a popular name. So if Maggie said her name then Heidi being the exwife would remember that and she may or may not want to mess things up for Edward.

He is telling us his draw to Bella is more than a pretty face and the need for sex.

Absolutely. That draw is certainly there, but it's a lot more than just quick and cheap attraction.

Date: 02 Apr 2013 10:53 AM Title: Chapter 5 - Edward's Office
I already said what I think. Don't carry on at work. Keep it seperate. maybe meet at her house not Edwards. Maggie is going to be a 16 year old pain the butt, she is his daughter and he has the lion's share of the custody.
Author's Response:
Yeah, carrying on at work is definitely not the smartest idea. The problem with meeting at her apartment is that it's right near the hospital, so it's more risky for them to be there. Yeah, Maggie is going to be a pain in the butt for a while.
Date: 02 Apr 2013 10:34 AM Title: Chapter 4 - The Kitchen
I think that Edward is ready to move on from Heidi. He loves his daughter and deep down he knows she is going to resent this. If her dad is her only strong parent then she may have resented her mother as well.
Author's Response:
Edward is definitely ready to move on from Heidi. He does love his daughter, and knows that she'll resent this. Maggie's relationship with Heidi is complicated, and you'll see more of that as the story goes.

First I have to apologize...A few chapters back, I think I called Heidi, 'Tanya.' *Ooops* Now, this chapter was really great. I did love the trip to the sex shop, that was a really good idea for Bella, not to mention Edward. Nothing like some hot phone sex to rejuvinate, and de-stress. ;) xoxo Kelly
Author's Response:
No worries about the mix up with the name, several people did that. We're used to Tanya being awful. It was fun to write her as a nice character though. And yes, the trip to the sex shop was great for both E&B. They desperately needed it!

Aww, thank you. It was a difficult one to write, but I am glad I ended up including it. Your reviews have been so sweet and I've really been enjoying them.
Date: 30 Mar 2013 8:08 AM Title: Chapter 16 - The Entryway
Damn, what a great chapter. At first I was snarling and growling at what a bitch Tanya was being, and then like you said in your notes, 'Karma got her.' I feel so, so bad for Maggie; she did not deserve to hear about her mother like that. Edward will have his work cut out for him, as far as helping his daughter through this. It has to make him feel better knowing that Bella will be there to support him in what ever way she can, and of course that she loves him. I love your story and characters so much! xoxo Kelly
Author's Response:
So glad you liked the chapter. I know you corrected yourself in a later review, but yes, Heidi, not Tanya. :) Karma did get her though.
It's good that Maggie knows the truth, but that was a really rough way for her to find out. Edward is going to have his work cut out for him, but in the long run it will be good for all three of them. Edward having Bella's support will be a huge help.
Thanks for the review, I love hearing your thoughts on the story!

How is it the 23 year old bystander is the most mature parent of them all? Edward is running around fixing all the bombs Heidi set off....
Author's Response:
Generally speaking, Edward is quite mature, but unfortunately Heidi brings out the worst in all of them. Bella just is lucky enough that this is her first real encounter with Heidi. Thanks for the review.

Well crap, my theory about it being Heidi was wrong. I only thought about Pat briefly, but then dismissed it. Edward and Bella sure dodged a bullet there. I still think that Heidi knows; I'll bet that Maggie mentioned Bella's name at some point. If she doesn't know yet, I'm sure she will soon enough. Romantic Edward strikes again, couples massages was a really sweet, and thoughtful idea. Oh, and how could I forget the beautiful diamond earrings he got her for her birthday? That's quite the gift to give to a girlfriend of only a couple of weeks. I think Edward might be thinking along the sames lines that Bella is as far as 'Love' is concerned. ;) xoxo Kelly
Author's Response:
That's okay, most people thought it was Heidi, too. Heidi knowing definitely would have been worse than Pat. So glad you liked the couples' massages and the diamond earrings. He is quite the romantic. The earrings are a big gesture, but he's feeling pretty smitten. And yeah, they're both definitely headed in the same direction about their freelings for each other.
Thanks for the review!

Great chapter.
Meet the families and a new job in the next chapter - that's going to be even better, i hope Renee locks the guns away too. I'm really looking forward to Bella's other colleagues' reactions when they hear of her relationship with Edward.
Author's Response:
Well, Bella won't start her new job for a few more weeks. Edward will meet her parents in the next chapter though. It'll be a while before we get to Bella's other colleague's reactions to the relationship, but it is coming.
Thanks for the review, I love hearing your thoughts on the story!

Yep; I'm not surprised at all. I think it's Heidi that knows. Of course Maggie would mention to her mom that her dad had a girlfriend; why wouldn't she? I'm pretty sure that when Heidi came over to Bella's desk, she was there to check her out. I can't wait for the next chapter, but first I need to eat some icecream! hee hee :) Oh, and Edward and Bella are playing with fire sneaking in a little sexy time at work; I hope they stop. xoxo Kelly
Author's Response:
I love hearing your theories about who knows and why! They are being really dangerous sneaking in sexy time at work. But who can blame them?

*Swoon* Edward is so romantic, thoughtful, sweet, and a million other things. I love him so much! That dinner he planned was so swoon worthy; Bella is a lucky lady. xoxo Kelly

you should have named this chapter ...the fairy tale .....lets just hope when she wakes up it wasnt a dream
Author's Response:
lol, I promise, it wasn't a dream. Not everything will be perfectly smooth sailing, but things are turning around for them. And one by one, they'll slowly tackle all of the issues in their way.
Thanks for the review, I love hearing your thoughts on the story!

F I N A L L Y !!!!!!!!!!! THE POOR GIRL CATCHES A BREAK! NOW LET'S HOPE HER FATHER TAKES THE STICK OUT OF HIS ASS BEFORE SHE GETS THERE.
Author's Response:
Yep, things are starting to turn around for them. He's definitely calmed down some, and the stick will definitely be out of Charlie's ass by the time the weekend is over, I promise. Thanks for the review, I love hearing your thoughts on the story!

wow!!! So much happened in these last 3 chapters! I was wondering how long it would be before everything became to much for Bella to handle..... So glad that Edward was there for her and put her first and that Maggie understood as well. Excited for their trip to Forks!

Author's Response:
It as been an eventful last few chapters, hasn't it? Yeah, Bella was bound to hit that breaking point eventually and all things considered, she did really well for a long time.
Glad you liked that Edward was there for her and put her first. Now that she's getting to know Bella, Maggie's going to be a whole lot more understanding about things. I think you'll like the trip to Silverton. Remember E&B are in Portland, Oregon, and her parents live an hour South of there in Silverton. They aren't in Forks, WA!
Thanks for the review, I love hearing your thoughts on the story!

Yep, you nailed it again. Been there, done that. Dealing with college + the ex + the dad + work=meltdown. Edward screwed up royally, but he did try to help make her feel better.
Author's Response:
YAY! That's so good to hear. I just didn't think Bella could handle anything else before she reached her maximum capacity. Edward did screw up, but he was there to help her feel better, and they were able to lay out some ideas for what they could do to make things better. Glad you liked the chapter and thanks for the review!

Good chapter. Bella has delt with so much pressure I'm not surprised she cracked. can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response:
Glad you liked the chapter. Having a breakdown over everything wasn't that surprising, but at least Edward was there for her, and they could work together come up with some solutions. The next chapter will post today!
Thanks for the review, I appreciate it!

Fantastic chapter. I was beginning to think this relationship was becoming very one-sided with Bella doing all the giving and Edward taking but I think this conversation may have redressed that imbalance, provided he's true to his word.
Author's Response:
So glad you liked the chapter. Things were getting a bit lopsided between them, but yes, this does address that and Edward will follow through. He's not a perfect man, but he does his best and he's more than willing to learn from his mistakes.
Thanks for the review, I appreciate it!
