Yes, this is getting harder and harder! We do see bits and pieces of NM in this chapter don't we. Goodness I really love this story. Well done. Well done
Date: 05 Feb 2014 10:36 PM Title: Chapter 9
I feel like I missed something. Why is Bella so bent out of shape? Edward just finished things with his wife a couple of months ago. Of course he needs to take it slow for the kids sake. Also, what's Tanya going to do when she finds out he's sleeping with the nanny? File for custody? I think Bella is being overly dramatic. I am Team Edward on this one.

Oh one hand it seems like Edward is hiding Bella as his dirty little secret. On the other, I get he's trying to take everything into consideration before going public. On that same note, Bella pretty much agreed to a private relationship with him, so she should't get pissy about it now. I think it's to the point now, they need to move forward or throw in the towel.
He confessed his love for her... Why didn't she reciprocate? She has the feelings there.
I'm wondering... was Bella not feeling well because she was feeing heartbroken, or could she possibly be feeling drained of energy because she's pregnant?

Sorry, but I must be stupid, as what Edward has said and done with Bella don't add up to heartless villainy in my book! I can see his point of view as well as Bella's and I just want to hug both of them and tell them it will work out if they just hold on to each other. I don't blame Bella for wanting everyone to know and I don't blame Edward for being pretty cautious where his kids are concerned. He really needs to make a declaration soon, though, especially since he feels like Bella is the one for him forever!
Author's Response:
No you're definitely not stupid. Some people just get mad that he's hiding Bella. But he is trying, and you see that. Just wanted to tell people to give him a little more time, because he is working on it. Thanks for the review, as always! You've been with me thru quite a few stories. Have a good rest of the week and we'll see you this weekend for the update on Want.

Ben's words seem to have hit closer to home than Bella would like to admit. She's seem hurt and ignoring it will only blow up in their faces later.
Glad to see Rosalie coming around a bit.
Date: 04 Feb 2014 4:27 AM Title: Chapter 8
Glad that Rose is coming around. I can't tell if Bella is upset that they are still hiding their relationship or not. I am really enjoying your story. Hope you update soon.
Date: 04 Feb 2014 4:25 AM Title: Chapter 7
I am glad that Bella does have Angela to talk too. I hate that Bella has lost so much of her family. Bless her heart.
Date: 04 Feb 2014 12:49 AM Title: Chapter 6
I am worried that Alice's dream is about the future. You know Alice can "see" into the future....right!!!!!!!! lol :)
Date: 04 Feb 2014 12:49 AM Title: Chapter 5
I am glad that Tanya is being nice. Glad that she and Edward can still be friends after the divorce and with Edward moving away and the kids going with him. I can't wait to see what Edward thinks of Bella in a swimsuit!!!!!! :O
Date: 04 Feb 2014 12:49 AM Title: Chapter 4
I am glad that Bella did not back down from Rose. I hope that one day Rose will decide to like Bella.
Date: 04 Feb 2014 12:49 AM Title: Chapter 3
I like reading Bella and Edward's POV!!!!!!! I am glad that Edward explained his self to Bella about his comment about her clothes.
Date: 03 Feb 2014 5:07 PM Title: Chapter 2
I am loving this!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 03 Feb 2014 5:07 PM Title: Chapter 1
Can't wait to read more.
Date: 31 Jan 2014 6:56 PM Title: Chapter 8
There is a storm brewing. I can feel it!
Date: 31 Jan 2014 6:11 PM Title: Chapter 8
I know Bella wants to shout her love for Edward. She wants the world to know, but she also knows being quiet now is best for the kids. It should be ok to make the announcement soon.
Date: 30 Jan 2014 7:32 PM Title: Chapter 8
Great chapter, I think that Bella might be a little bit more ready then Edward thinks.
Date: 30 Jan 2014 3:25 PM Title: Chapter 8
She is hurt . Rose is coming around.
Date: 30 Jan 2014 3:20 AM Title: Chapter 8
Hum, Edward man you know De-nile is Not just a river in Egypt! Who's not ready for the scrutiny? Love this story!
Date: 30 Jan 2014 2:53 AM Title: Chapter 8
I don't think things are going to go as smoothly as they hoped.
Date: 30 Jan 2014 1:03 AM Title: Chapter 8
Sounds to me as if Bella may be ready to go public a bit before Edward is. I can kind of see both sides of this situation, so I would be no help giving either of them advice. It makes for a nicer home atmosphere when Rosalie is behaving herself and following the rules.
Date: 29 Jan 2014 8:58 PM Title: Chapter 8
Looking forward to the next chapter
Date: 29 Jan 2014 8:57 PM Title: Chapter 8
I know it's tough for Bella but the situation isn't ideal so she will have to be patient. It's good that Edward is there to reassure her
Date: 29 Jan 2014 8:18 PM Title: Chapter 8
I have a feeling Ben's comments hurt a bit more than Bella's letting on. Edward isn't trying to hurt her, he's just doing what he feels is in his children's best interests right now. I like your character Rosalie. She's very realistic for a girl of her age. Great work here!
Date: 25 Jan 2014 7:25 AM Title: Chapter 7
the 22 was the 2 year mark for my mom
...I cried all day
Date: 24 Jan 2014 8:33 PM Title: Chapter 7
Edward is so sweet.
Date: 24 Jan 2014 6:39 AM Title: Chapter 7
Yes let him take care of her.
Date: 24 Jan 2014 3:26 AM Title: Chapter 7
Great chapter, very touching at the end.
Date: 23 Jan 2014 4:51 PM Title: Chapter 7
Thanks for updating.
Date: 23 Jan 2014 5:58 AM Title: Chapter 7
the talk I am glad he is putting the kids first and they are both okay with that
honesty and communication and awesome sex a great start for them
love it
Date: 23 Jan 2014 12:40 AM Title: Chapter 7
Bella really shouldn't feel too bad about letting the date slip her mind for a bit. She's moving on and living her life, just as Edward mentioned. It doesn't mean she has forgotten her loved ones. It was kind of nice that he went with her to light candles for her family!
Date: 22 Jan 2014 11:38 PM Title: Chapter 7
Lovely! You run the gamut emotionally and just when we think things are normal, Bella is hit with the "forgot them" guilts. Edward's touching help at that point is just the right touch. Kudos on another winning chapter!
Date: 22 Jan 2014 10:05 PM Title: Chapter 7
Best Part: Now, do you normally fly down to visit their graves at some point?"
"No, they're upstairs," I told him and almost laughed at his reaction.
"What?"
"Their ashes are in two urns in my room. But I would like to get cleaned up and go light a candle for them at St. Patrick's before it gets too late," I said and he held me a little closer.
Date: 05 Jan 2014 6:38 PM Title: Chapter 6
Love this! Can't wait to read more!
Date: 05 Jan 2014 5:29 AM Title: Chapter 6
Ah! Vacations! Sun, sea, and togetherness!! It was bound to happen, Edward and Bella were sort of dancing around one another for awhile. Keeping their relationship from 5 kids should prove to be more work than they realize! Love the story! Thank you for all the hard work and Happy New Year!
Date: 03 Jan 2014 7:56 PM Title: Chapter 6
oh yeah get that shit on Edward I just hope Bella brings out the kinky side of him
Date: 03 Jan 2014 2:30 PM Title: Chapter 6
I love it. Who could resist sexy Edward? Not me.
Date: 03 Jan 2014 1:54 AM Title: Chapter 6
I thought they'd hookup at the beach, but not so quickly. That was a very good surprise. Hope they work things out fast for the kids benefit. Rosalie is the only one I see throwing a fit about this lastest developement. I'm assuming Alice's nightmare is a prediction of the future.
Nicely done.
Date: 02 Jan 2014 8:36 PM Title: Chapter 6
whoa ....that was a very unexpeceted surprise ....but nice ....and no regret in the morning after ...perect ....
Date: 02 Jan 2014 6:20 PM Title: Chapter 1
I'm totally confused as to what age Rosalie is. I think I've read three different ages: 12, 13 & 15. Which is it?
Author's Response:
Rosalie was 12 when Alice was born, 13 when they separated, and 15 now. Hope that clears up any confusion. Thanks for the review!
Date: 02 Jan 2014 9:27 AM Title: Chapter 6
Wow good job Edward he went for it.
Date: 02 Jan 2014 8:40 AM Title: Chapter 6
Well, that was awesomely unexpected. I got so excited when I saw the next chapter in my inbox, keep them coming., PLEASE
Date: 02 Jan 2014 7:41 AM Title: Chapter 6
Loved it! Can't wait to see what will happen next!
Date: 02 Jan 2014 5:36 AM Title: Chapter 6
Oh my! Looking forward to the EPOV!
Date: 02 Jan 2014 5:25 AM Title: Chapter 6
VERY NICE !!!!
i hope things go as well as they want them to...till next time :)
Date: 02 Jan 2014 5:05 AM Title: Chapter 6
about time they figure this out
Date: 02 Jan 2014 4:47 AM Title: Chapter 6
Finally - can't believe they last that long!!
Date: 02 Jan 2014 4:23 AM Title: Chapter 6
Wow was not expecting Edward to make his move this soon. But I'm glad he did and that Bella is not freaking out. I am curious to hear what Edward was thinking during movie night. Somehow I don't think it's what Bella thought it was. At least the room allocations will come in handy now. ;)
Date: 02 Jan 2014 3:52 AM Title: Chapter 6
It figures that would happen since these two have, from the beginning, been drawn together like two magnets! I'm kind of glad they realized it and are trying to keep under the radar for the sake of the kids. They both have to know how perfect Bella is for him and his family in every way!
Date: 02 Jan 2014 3:25 AM Title: Chapter 6
No way! :) Totally expecting Bella to wake up from a dream after that!
Date: 02 Jan 2014 2:35 AM Title: Chapter 6

I adore reading both POV!
Great chapter.
Date: 28 Dec 2013 5:07 AM Title: Chapter 5
I do love the healthy parenting example your characters display! All too often one parent or the other is setup as "the bad guy". You show that it is possible to coparent in fiction without need of that. Your parents are dedicated to their children and will do what is best for them above all else. Tanya is happy to work with Bella for the good of her children after discovering Bella is truly professional and has that touch of heart that allows her to help her charges grow. Kudos on a well written piece, and I must say its counterpart is the same! Thank you!!
Date: 26 Dec 2013 11:23 PM Title: Chapter 5
Loved it update soon
Date: 26 Dec 2013 10:06 PM Title: Chapter 5
Given Tanya's attitude, it seems like she and Bella will get on just fine where the kids are concerned.
A beach trip could very well test Edward's restraint, seeing Bella in a bikini.
Date: 26 Dec 2013 9:47 PM Title: Chapter 4
All things aside, Bella seems to be adjusting to dealing with all the kids by herself. I espeically liked the way she handled Rosalie.
Edward is letting is guard down a bit.
Date: 26 Dec 2013 9:24 PM Title: Chapter 3
They seem to be getting along so far for the most part.
Date: 26 Dec 2013 8:32 PM Title: Chapter 2
Looks like Angela is more observant than Bella where Edward is concerned.
A new beginning for them all... indeed.
Date: 26 Dec 2013 6:51 PM Title: Chapter 5
Jasper and Alice seem to be adjusting to Bella. Rosalie is being a teenager. I hope she realizes that Bella just wants to be her friend. I think the week away together will help.
Date: 26 Dec 2013 6:37 PM Title: Chapter 1
For some reason I didn't realize this was a companion to your other story. I'm intrigued, Bella seems very mature and knows what she wants out of life.
Date: 26 Dec 2013 11:32 AM Title: Chapter 5
Love this story
Date: 26 Dec 2013 10:42 AM Title: Chapter 5
Tanya was surprisingly nice!!
Date: 26 Dec 2013 10:00 AM Title: Chapter 5
It is so good that they are all working for what is best for the kids and being involved.
Date: 26 Dec 2013 7:07 AM Title: Chapter 5
It should be this easy and comfortable between divorced parents, and so seldom is! It's the adults who split up, not the children. Sounds like Tanya and Bella will get along quite well. Hope the trip to the beach is going to go well for the whole family!
Date: 20 Dec 2013 9:19 AM Title: Chapter 4
Loved it update soon
Date: 19 Dec 2013 9:14 PM Title: Chapter 4
I love this Edward. I also love how he gets to boss Rosalie around in this story.
Date: 19 Dec 2013 12:16 AM Title: Chapter 4
Great chapter!
I adore how Bella took charge with Rosalie.
Date: 18 Dec 2013 8:37 PM Title: Chapter 4
Very nice chapter, loved the grocery shopping, complete with whining! Bella and Edward are getting comfy with each other which has to be a good thing since she'll be living there full time. I loved that little encounter between Rosalie and Bella. She handled it beautifully and I think Edward appreciated it a lot. I really like this Bella and Edward, as well as the whole family!
Date: 18 Dec 2013 2:25 PM Title: Chapter 4
I think Bella can handle Rosalie
Date: 18 Dec 2013 6:44 AM Title: Chapter 4
I really appreciate this story, love the detail you include! Fantastic writing!
Date: 18 Dec 2013 6:17 AM Title: Chapter 4
I love how Bella handles Rosalie! She allows her enough room to breathe and her willingness to help if she desires,but she won't bend over backwards to appease her. Safety and true caring for the children are her priorities. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a Bella if needed! Her coordination skills are superb! Thank you for another wonderful read.
Date: 18 Dec 2013 5:45 AM Title: Chapter 4
Rose is not as cool as she thought she was I hope she respects Bella a little more now. Edward was staying away from her on purpose.
Date: 18 Dec 2013 5:07 AM Title: Chapter 4
Love it! What's the age difference between Edward & Bella. Sorry if it was previously disclosed.
Author's Response:
It'll come up in the story soon, but Bella is 24(25 in September) and Edward's 35th birthday is what she's preparing for, so there's a 10 year age difference. Thanks again for continuing to read and review!
Date: 12 Dec 2013 4:04 PM Title: Chapter 1
I look forward to your new story
thank you
Date: 12 Dec 2013 6:54 AM Title: Chapter 3
Wow he is a little protective already and she is just going along with what he says to easy.
Date: 11 Dec 2013 10:15 PM Title: Chapter 3
I'm jealous that Bella can go kitchen shoping without any limit on what she spends! The next two weeks should be interesting, with the kids vacationing with their mother. It sure will give Bella and Edward time to get comfortable with each other and develop a routine.
Date: 11 Dec 2013 9:23 PM Title: Chapter 3
Aah! Beginnings! Edward seems to like to take the reins, so to speak. Having both he and Bella in the same house should be fascinating. I'd also be interested to see how is ex relates to Bella. They may have different styles, but all in all, I think they are no nonsense women who only want the best for those three kids. Loved it!
Date: 05 Dec 2013 9:19 PM Title: Chapter 2
Esme set the room so that Bella couldn't say no. She knows her really well.
it was very nice of the Cullens to go with Bella.
What has Angela noticed? And has anyone else seen what she has? ;)
Date: 05 Dec 2013 7:09 PM Title: Chapter 2
I love this story! It has a flair all it's own, and being from NY, a frequent visitor to NYC, I love reading about the city. Your characters are well defined, and I look forward to what the future chapters bring. By the way, like Angela's father, I'm from Long Island!
Date: 05 Dec 2013 5:32 PM Title: Chapter 2
Great start! Can't wait to read what comes next.
Date: 05 Dec 2013 11:20 AM Title: Chapter 2

What a great day. Angela can see what is going on ;)

He knows what he wants is she going to want to move?? She is amazing with kids. How old is Edward and Bella???
Date: 05 Dec 2013 12:57 AM Title: Chapter 2
That was one fine graduation ceremony! The whole day was good, except for Rosalie's comment about the hired help! I noticed Little Miss Snippity-butt was quickly taken aside by her dad and straightened out! It must have stayed with her, too, as she was good and quiet for the rest of the day. It was a real awww moment when Ben proposed to Angela. Like I said, a really good day! One thing would have made it perfect for Bella, if she could have had her father in attendance. Her new apartment sounds really, really nice, so I'm not surprised she loves it!
