I am enjoying Alice and Rosalie's commentary as they hear Bella's story.

I'm glad Bella and Edward were able to get over those trying times when his feelings were deeper than hers and when she admitted her feelings while he was with someone he cared about.

Oh my! Bella's date trying to attack her near that dark isolated park was a close call and sent chills down my spine. It's good she had her cell phone and Edward was home. 

I'm glad Bella chose who was right for her, but I can't blame Jacob for being angry at how she ended it. She could have called him back into the dressing room to tell him in private, instead of humiliating him in front of his family and friends. 

It was a great chapter. I love that Charlie arranged so Bella would not have to be in court to testify against Demetri and that he gave his blessing about her and Edward being together. It was nice that the gang threw Bella a surprise welcome home party and Emmett got the chance to make his amends. I wished that Charlie could have been at the party. I like that Edward got to be with Bella on her first night back.

It was nice seeing Edward and Bella so happy. Emmett and Jasper definitely provided some humor when they caught Edward and Bella during their intimate moment.

It was very romantic how Edward explained to Bella that he meant it when he told her that he loved her. Bella was being very sensible about waiting to get married for love and not just because she is pregnant.

I love the meet and greet with Edward's parents. Esme was a riot when she cut through the crap and blatantly asked whether they were secretly married or she was pregnant. It was a nice surprise that Esme went to Bella's aid in the bathroom and apologized for her behavior. 

Thanks for updating!

It was very touching to see Bella tear up from the Christmas gifts that she received from Edward's family. I loved how Esme tried to make amends and show her support for the pregnancy by giving Bella a nursery. It was great that Edward got Bella her own rocking chair from home and refinished it.

The visit to Charlie's house was very interesting. I liked Seth and Leah right off the back. I was shocked at Charlie and Bella's exchange after she slammed the ultrasound picture on the table in front of him, but it made more sense after Leah's confession about her past. I loved that Edward stood up to him for how he was treating his daughter. Leah cracked me up with how she quickly spirited Edward out the house to the safety of the diner. I am glad that Edward finally got the explanation about what led up to Bella's break up with Jake and why it was so devastating aside from the cheating. It explains why Bella keeps Edward at arm's length.

Thanks for another great chapter!

Both Charlie and Bella are so stubborn. I am glad that Edward called Charlie about the crisis and that he came to be by his daughter's side. I love that he called Edward 'son' and told him not to move. It was also great that Bella caught Edward crying and asked him to share what he was feeling. I love that he was honest about his fears and that she acknowledged her mistakes and her need to be able to do things for herself. It was great that she asked him to move in with her. I love that daddy was right that they are having a girl, but will miss their debating back and forth. It was cute.

It was nice to see the couple take on Lamaze classes and Bella get some girl time at the baby shower. I love how Bella pumped Alice for details about what happened when Jasper came to pick her up. It looks like Esme and Bella are bonding over the nursery and storing the baby's essentials. Poor Edward seeing his loving girlfriend become OCD in cleaning. He won't have to worry about that for long. The baby will work her out of that compulsion. Love the baby shower dress.

I loved seeing Edward defend Bella to both their mothers and to Jake. I was worried that the mothers might not take his words in the spirit that they were intended or that Jake would escalate the situation at Charlie's, but Edward handled himself perfectly both times. 

Daddyward is just so adorable. I love him calling Rose for advice about the baby when he had exhausted all his possible solutions for the crying. I love the image of Bella finding him with the baby asleep on his shoulder.

I enjoyed seeing Edward and Bella work as parents raising four kids and watching them deal with an all knowing teenager recover from her bad decision. You could feel the love in their house. The tickle fight between the parents that escalated when the twins came home from the game made a beautiful family snapshot. I liked how Edward & Bella treated their friends like family and how everyone depended on each other. I am glad Edward and Bella got their happy ever after. Thank you for this story.

It was great that Beth was able to save Edward and challenge her father over his right as Alpha. It is sad that Edward had lasting hearing damage from the fight while Jacob got to live another day. I was thrilled about Beth imprinting on her godfather Seth and that he stood beside her as she stripped Jacob of his standing as Alpha and told him to leave their lands. The two things that really made me laugh in this chapter were reading the names Seth and Beth together and Bella ordering take out.

It was so romantic that Bella would stand vigil at Edward's side and wait to share her first hunt with him should he survive. That was a bittersweet ending to this great tale that the two year old Alpha renamed Lizzie had to leave her parents to take her role as Alpha of her tribe. I look forward to the epilogue to see how this all worked out.

Write a better summary.

I'm glad Edward and Bella admitted their love for each other and got married. I would love to see how their parents and friends rejoice in their good news.

I had to laugh at Kate trying to be so slick. She's the one who couldn't satisfy Edward and now she's left with Riley, who regrets cheating with her on Bella. She's the one who lost in the end. LOL 

This story really hooked me because I am curious why Edward has been treating Bella this way and holding back this last stage their relationship. He obviously cares for her and acts like they are in a relationship, but goes elsewhere for sexual intercourse. It is like he thinks she is too good to date him or fears ruining their relationship, but like Edward said, making out and oral sex already changed their relationship.

I am surprised Bella did not move on when he rejected her request and dated another guy, but she is really tolerant of his behavior. I don't like how he has been sleeping around and will have Bella sleep with him in the same bed that he had sex with someone earlier, clean sheets or not.

Edward puked on Tanya?! LMAO! That is classic. Poor boy cornered in the kitchen trying to get the predator off its prey. I loved it! I love how he explained it all to Bella. Very funny! I look forward to their talk.

I am glad that Edward's parents offered their help with the transformation. I loved the scene where Emmett and Jasper saw Edward for the first time. I hope Edward's reveal is all he expects it to be, but I wonder if Bella has some bad news for him. I hope he doesn't lose himself in trying to change his appearance.

Yay! Edward got his girl. It was interesting to know what was going through Bella's mind at the party. I thought it might have been Bella who said, "Get a Room." I love that Bella was a little possessive when she realized that Edward was the one Tanya was kissing in the kitchen. Edward's nervousness at asking Bella to go out with him on a date was so adorkable. I am glad they kissed. It looks like Tanya is going to be some trouble for the couple in her effort to get revenge against Bella. Good chapter!

I definitely enjoyed this chapter. I loved when Bella found Edward in that state of shock and how their desire for each other exploded into that kiss.

I like that Bella wants a relationship and not just sex with Edward. I am so happy that Bella kept her wits about her and confessed to Edward about being attracted to him since her breakup with Jake, so he would know that her reaction was to him not because of his transformation. I loved his responding declaration of his devotion to her.

Honestly, I almost forgot Edward had looked in that hope chest and began to think he did hear Bella masturbating in the bathroom. Nice to know Bella has a picture of Edward along with her sex toys in her hope chest. Great update!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Go Edward! I love that he was able to shock Bella by utilizing Google to give her that incredible orgasm. I am glad she explained to Edward about losing her virginity to Jacob and how bad the experience was.

It may have cruel to set up Charlie thinking that Bella's new boyfriend was this tatoo covered boxer/artist, but it was sure was funny to watch him explode before Edward got there. I am glad she did apologize to Edward for almost getting him hurt when Charlie flew off the handle at their kiss.

I absolutely agree with your recc of My Brother's Best Friend by jennlynnfs. It is one of my favorite fan fic stories as well as she is one of my favorite authors. If you haven't read Boycotting Valentine's Day, One Cup of Chunky Peanut Butter and Waiting Always Waiting, you really should. They are much shorter and just great.

I am hoping it is Bella not Tanya. Wouldn't he recognize his girl's body from Tanya though? I love that Edward is starting to stand up for himself with Lauren and Jessica then later with Tyler and Mike. I am glad Edward and Bella set things straight with the girls about Tanya and what she said happened with Edward before enjoying their time pleasing each other. I laughed out loud when Edward spooked Bella in the library. Her reaction was hilarious. Thanks for another great chapter! I look forward to seeing who surprised Edward in the shower.

I enjoyed Edward and Bella's declarations of love and the impromptu butt sex in the shower. It is nice that Edward wants his first time with Bella to be special. It was great to see Edward help a fellow bullied student. I love how Edward motioned to Tanya like he was puking when he saw her giving him the eye. It was very funny.

I enjoyed the Bella and Edward fooling around in Newton's until they were interrupted, but the webcam sex was freakin' hot. I am glad Alice's plan is working and I am looking for to Bella and Edward having sex. 

I love the comic, but boy did it get dark with Victoria ripping open Anthony's wound to entice Isabella and tearing a chunk out of Isabella's arm. I hope Isabella can stop Anthony's transformation or that she can inject him with her venom.

It was great that Emmett felt bad about catching Edward and Bella making out and did not make fun of them. Thanks for another great chapter!

That was a sweet story. Happy Holidays!

It was nice to Edward and not Alice explain why he broke Bella's heart when the family moved. It was good to see him face whatever heat her father might send his way.

Wow! What a great father/daughter talk and I liked that it was in Charlie's POV. I love how Charlie, still the cop, was looking for holes in Edward's story as Bella talked. Bella was good in playing along and not revealing too much about Edward, yet still telling her dad how she felt. It was great when Charlie expressed that he was willing to give him a second chance and why. Most of all, I liked that Charlie accepted that this was her decision with Edward to make about her future and encouraged her to make it.

They were just too cute in this chapter. I love Edward coming to the door with a baseball bat and scaring Bella half to death. LOL! It was cute how she was jealous of her pillow in his sleeping arms. I love the cooking lesson banter that they took from his kitchen into the store. This is a totally new experience for them to share. I love it that they stuck it Lauren and that Bella countered her rude statement by telling her to do her job. Awesome!

I am so glad that Edward woke up with no memory loss and that he wanted to be by his wife's side right away when he heard about her passing out and the danger to her and the baby. I look forward to their reunion when she wakes up.

Thank you for the shout out!

What a great reunion! It was great that Edward was there for their son's first kick. I love how he sneaked in at night to sleep with his wife in her hospital room. The birth of EJ was a good way to end their journey back to each other. Thanks for this story! I enjoyed it a lot.

Very good story. Thank you for sharing. I found this thanks to twifanfictionrecs.com. 

It was great that Edward stayed with Bella through the ups and downs of her detox, even though that meant time away from his daughter. It's a shame that Bella has deteriorated this much. I look forward to Edward finding out who Matthew is.

I am glad Edward found her. It's a shame what her life has become.

Eight years, wow! It sucks to see what Edward's life became. I hope the kid is his. That would shatter him. I hope the gang finds Bella.

The sex scene was hot. I'm glad Bella and Edward realized that being in a romantic relationship doesn't mean they can't still be best friends. I agree with Edward that they need to tell Charlie before he hears about them from someone else. I worry that Bella's insecurities will cause them problems.

That warning is ominous. 

Though I didn't like that Bella used the threat of going to another guy to relieve her of her virginity to get her best friend to have sex with her, I thought the sex scene itself was good and I loved the miscommunication that resulted afterward. I hope Bella can make Edward see that she enjoyed what happened and did not regret it. He also deserves her apology for pushing him into it. 

This is so sad, but I'm glad Edward has figured out who Matthew is and Bella knows that Edward had a daughter and is now divorced. Hopefully, they can now mourn for their son together. She needs him...and he needs her. Bella has to trust Edward to help her from herself and James.

I liked the progress in Bella and Edward's relationship, though Edward needs to calm down about her weight. He was pushing too hard there. I loved them making out in the car. It was quite hot, especially the love bites claiming each other.  Of course, they had to get caught. ;) I look forward to their talk. 

Good luck on your certification exams. 

It's a shame Bella allowed Lauren to intimidate her and keep her from being friends with Edward. I am glad Bella was able to help Edward avoid driving under the influence. I'm surprised Lauren left him alone to fend for himself.

I'm starting to suspect Alice may be right about Lauren cheating on Edward, but that's no excuse for her severing ties with her brother and niece to make her point. 

It's great that Paul got a promotion to partner at work and that he was excited about the baby, but I wonder how much Bella will have to go through this pregnancy alone because of the job. It was nice that Tanya took the time to offer her the advice on balancing school and her pregnancy.

It looks like both Bella and Edward are making some hard choices here.

I'm glad Bella seeing Paul with another woman made her realize that she had to leave him.Tanya is a really good friend. She gave Bella a safe place to land and some sage advice. I look forward to Bella's discussion with her parents.

Wow! Lauren tried to gain sympathy by going to Edward's mom about him leaving? It's good that Edward called his mother after he got settled with Savannah in the hotel and that he plans to stay with his parents until he decides what to do. 

I'm glad Bella voiced her concerns and desires to Edward before she became too frustrated. I like that Edward told her how much he wanted her and that he was trying to make their first time special. I am glad she told him about the towel.

Now I know this is typical teenage fanfare and great story drama, but I was surprised Alice and Jasper did this to Bella and that Edward tried to defend it as a mistake. I know Edward is trying to help and that Alice and Jasper didn't intentionally try to hurt Bella, but someone should have told Bella that it's ok to feel hurt that her friends betrayed and humiliated her like this and that the others knew.

It also didn't matter that they weren't in love. Jasper still should have been a friend and been honest and upfront with Bella about his feelings for her and for Alice. As for Alice, she was Bella's first friend there and the one who introduced them all. That really had to hurt that she would do this to her. I hope Bella isn't so quick to forgive either of them. 

It's a shame that because of what Jasper and Alice did neither Bella or Edward are willing to admit their feelings for each other. That's sad and now both of them are going off to different schools where they are going to meet new people and have new experiences, while their feelings for each other sit on the back burner.

It was nice to see Bella's nod to Rose, showing that she needed the distance because she hasn't forgiven them completely after all. I'm glad that Bella has Rose to lean on.

I loved this chapter.

Bella does not mince words and Liam overplayed his hand. That was a great confrontation. I'm glad that she didn't go after him to stay. 

I liked Edward's discussion with Heidi too and I was laughing out loud at Esme's response to his apology to her. Heidi wore out her welcome with her tantrum about Bella. I don't know who Heidi thought she was talking to, but I'm glad he told her to pack her bags so he could take her to the airport. I also liked that he didn't lift a finger to help her get her luggage into the car.

It was great that Bella texted him about Liam leaving and asked him to pick her up after dropping off Heidi. I am glad Bella is transfering to U-Dub, but I would think she could attend the same school as Edward since they're both studying to get into the medical field. 

Well, I'm surprised they waited so long before contacting Edward, but I like that he knew something was wrong. 

I loved how Edward focused Charlie on talking to Bella and then broke down himself. It was nice of Charlie to make sure Edward could stay with Bella in her room and to arrange Rose to tell him.

I can't believe Alice is hoping to use this situation to mend her fences with Bella rather than just being there for her friend.

I'm so glad Bella woke up and both Edward and Charlie were there.

I am glad Bella had no memory loss and that Charlie gave Bella some time alone with Edward. Ah, that nurse had some bad timing.

I loved how Rose let Bella know of Edward's devotion to her. I look forward to Bella taking the leap and admitting her feelings for him.

Bella's declaration was definitely worth the wait. I loved that Edward got emotional.

I am glad Edward was able to transfer his residency to Forks, so he can be closer to Bella. I look forward to Bella's reaction. 

I enjoyed the romantic evening that Edward planned for Bella. It was a lovely surprise that he proposed before they made love.
