Please continue this!  I would love to see her intro into their world/civilization.

I love this story so much!  So very glad that Bella is not Aro's child although I'm not surprised that he lied about it. 

You might want to post a notice on fanfiction that people use TWC S will need to favorite each story in order to get alerts unlike fanfiction you don't get alerts unless you alert each individual story. 

So the depth of Bella's self-centeredness is just astonshing to me.  She leaves in the middle of the night with no note, no phone call (not even a freakin' text or post-it).  She ditches her phone, she leaves no address.  Edward has no way of contacting her without going through the humiliating way of asking Emmett.  Who wants to ask someone else how to contact their girlfriend??  I mean, can you even call someone your girlfirend if you can't talk to them? don't even know where they live?

Bella is all about Bella right now.  Yes, what she went through was AWFUL.  I don't minimize that.  But Edward needs her too - and she has not provided him one ounce of support when it would be difficult for her to give it. She doesn't even seem curious about what is going on with him.  He is going through his own therapy about his YEARS of trama, he is going back to school, quiting his job, probably has some stress with his Dad over that, etc.  But not once has she asked about it.  She left him no way to seek her for support!  He is just left high and dry.  And when he showed just a hint of his broken heart, she laid the ultimate guilt trip of "don't make this harder on ME than it has to be".  What about Edward?  What about how hard it is on him??  

At this point, her "I love you's" are just words.  Empty, empty words.  How can you love someone but not think about their welfare?  Not be curious as to how they are doing?  Not be WORRIED about what they are doing?  I don't think Bella really loves Edward like he loves her.  I don't think she has the ability to love like he deserves to be loved.  He has done everything for her, and she just up and left.

Edward has pushed himself so hard for her.  His love is completely shown through every action he takes.  Seems to me that Bella's true colors as a spoiled mafia princess are glaring through every action, word she takes once the going gets rough.  She has every single person around her telling her that she is going about this all wrong, but she is just too damn spoiled to listen.  I get that she wants to be back to where she was before she was kidnapped, but she has to know that is never going to happen.  Her insistance that "she isn't what he wants her to be" is just cowardly BS.  She can run off and hide in her new condo, but she is leaving a wonderful man heartbroken and alone.

Earlier in their relationship, when she supported him, it ultimately didn't cost her much.  She wanted sexual intimacy and supporting him actually got her what she wanted.  I'm not saying she doesn't care about him, but she seems to be pretty fair-weather.  The going gets tough and she boots him to the curb.  I am just astonished that she left them no avenue to communicate.  A short phone call every evening?  A date every Friday?  Come on!  She basically dumped him.

It seems she has left him with the ultimate "it is not you it is me" and now he is high and dry.

Truly, I hope he goes back to Boston to finish his law degree at Harvard.  It is not like whether he is in Seattle or Boston makes any difference to her since she isn't even talking to him.  I know it is not in his nature, but I almost hope he tries to date other people.  I am really a E&B HEA person to the core, but in this case, Edward just deserves so much better.  He deserves to have someone be in his court through thick and thin - not just when it is "easy" or for the other person's benefit too.  He has to be just gutted and his heart has to be broken.  The first time he really works to let someone in and she treats him like shit and essentially leaves him.  I can't imagine how heart-broken he is.  He so doesn't deserve it.

I have no idea how he could ever trust her again or even believe in her love.  Real love is actions, her love is just words.

I can't believe this wild ride is almost over!!  I have enjoyed every word of this great story.  Thanks so very much for sharing it with us!  I am so ready to read the epi, but yet so sad too!!  Love ya!

I don't see why Bella is so freaked out. Arndis was also pregnant before she wed. It's almost the exact same situation right??  Everyone knows it's Edvard's son but accepts  that it is part of her new marriage. 

I know you  have three stories in the works, but please take pity on us and get Edvard back from his trip and get them married. We've waited longer for an update than Edvard was supposed to be on his trip.

You realize that this posted twice??

i love this outtake but honestly wish you hadn't made Edward & Owen allergic. It bugs me that Edward would say yes to a dog who two people are allergic to. Committing to take allergy meds isn't a good answer. Yes it would have made masen sad but life us full of disappointments. This would have been a good chance to teach him a how to deal with a real life problem. Let him work in an animal shelter. Help with an elderly neighbors pet. Anything. Giving into your kid to avoid them being sad is a horrible parenting message. All Edward did was inforce the message "if you want something then get it without permission then look sad and beg and we will give it to you even if it causes the other family members to be horribly inconvenienced"

i did love the lemon. It was such a great mix of hot & sweet & loving & funny. Perfect.
