Great chapter.

awww good job bella for making kate feel welcome home :)

Wow, that was amazing :)  I really loved how quickly she took to Edward and how Bella brought her out of her shell :)

That was a pleaseant introduction.  I had a feeling that Bella would try to make her feel welcome.  I am surprised that Alice is so aloof, but then I think you said that your Alice wasn't going to be much of a character.

Thanks for the update.

Good job to Bella for making the first move.  I feel bad for poor Kate.  How terrifying to have to go live with strangers.

Awww!  Love it.

I feel bad that Bella keeps calling her baby "Edward demon spawn". Poor baby. ha ha  I loved the part you put in about Bella sneaking in to sleep with Edward when he was sleeping in the guest room. That was really sweet. But I also loved the part where she dumped hot tea in his lap and said the maid could clean it. very funny! English society isn't going to know what hit them. :0) Looking forward to the next chapter.

I just began reading this story yesterday ,I have skipped over it many times but thought i would give it a chance.glad I did

I like the premis of the story my only complaint is that when writing a period story you should kind of stick to the tone of their dialect. for instance: someone of that time would not say twenty four seven. see what I am saying here?

you can still write the period with out all the thee and thou crap but the slang is what kind of throws the story  off.

but i do like the story and will keep reading.

Hopefully the real father will take her when his name is found out.

Alice confuses me too.

Nope. The story is good.  Bella is awesome.  I've always found Alice to be pushy and obnoxious and was disappointed that no one stood up to her and set boundaries. I'm glad that in you story that Bella doesn't take her crap and calls her on it instead of just excusing her for it....

This Alice is pathetic....

i am not wrapping my head around the forks estate and alice being ms cullen. i am a little confused

i still love bella's spirit. she defentiely speaks her mind. i sure hope she doesn't lose that. i feel she will be good for kate. i am not concerned with her coming to edward and bella. i think all will work out

Bella should tell edward that alice came to visit and that she's f***ing crazy!she has lost it. Bella should be scared of her...I would be she's unstable. Well now kate is coming they will have to be quieter lmao :) update soon

Wow, I think I understand Alice even less now.  She seems to have a very strange and sad way of looking at things.

Gotta love embarassing the servants.  I think that's funny.

Can't wait to see how things go when Kate arrives.

Loving the fact that Bella is a "spit fire" ready to go off anyone close enough. The pregnancy will be interesting. I am so looking forward to reading more of this story and to seeing an explosion between Bella and Alice. It will be beneficial to Alice for Bella to let her know how things go.

Keep up the great writing and I am definately looking forward to the next update.

What is the real deal with Alice and her attitude toward Bella. She cant be that upset becaue Bella is pregnant.

Edward should have told her the whole truth. She is really going to throw a hissy fit.

Poor Alice, but I dont think Jasper would divorce her.

I just love Renee. I hope they can keep it a secret.

I was also wondering if the Cullens would come to France for the wedding. Good chapter.

I agree for the time period, relationships go fast. Good chapter. I cant wait to see their reaction to Edward.

Bella really is wild! In a bathroom in the time of this story? I am so glad Edward admitted to himself he loves her.

I agree it would be fun to be Bree. I just love this Bella. Good chapter.

I guess Tanya got what she deserved.

A aloof and unfriendly Alice is an anomaly... I sure there is more to the story.  Isabella is being just a little (LOL) spoiled and immature, I hope she grows up (at least a bit) soon.

I do love Edward in this story, he is so ... indulgent.

Thanks for the update... Happy New Year!

This is hilarious and I love how your Bella don't behave as she should.  However, there are some misspelled words.  I mean, they are the correct spelling but their meanings are not what you intended them to be.  I am tempted to beta this (just for the spelling).  Otherwise, I love your story and I look forward with your updates.

:)

I love Alice's last line. hehehe

I love Bella's reactions to the other women.  Putting Mrs. Newton in her place was fabulous!

I think it's sweet that Bella was sneaking into the spare room while she was punishing Edward.

Can't wait to read more!

Well, it's good that the truth is all out in the open now.  I don't think Edward will make that mistake again. 

What would be the question?

  Edward should have told her the truth completely when they were engaged.  Now if he does not want this little girl what about Alice and Jasper raising her since they are childless?  She would be someone for them to love and they are closer to her in proximity.  According to the story!

Guys, they're so dumb!  I love your Bella, I can just imagine throwing things, wish I could do that sometimes!

Edward had it coming.  Great chap.

Wow, that was amazing! I think I might know Kate's father, but won't say anything ;)  I cannot believe she is pregnant that quickly, but I knew it would happen sometime within the first year ;)  I really loved it so much :)

Good for Bella!!

He is going to be in so much trouble.... He did tell part of the story, but he left out very important parts of it. There's no excuse for that and he will realize it, probably too late.

So Bella hasn't won his family entirely, but they are all getting to it. Hopefully when they see each other again, it will be better.

For that time, it was a huge deal, and could bring lots of trouble to it. You mentioned James and Victoria, I assume they are related in some form to the Cullens and that isn't good. Sadly heirs were very important. True Edward isn't marrying Bella for that, but it could be taken in that way. 

Edward needs to tell Bella about his past and soon. Carlisle seems like a really nice man, and he has taken Bella as part of the family. As for Esme, her place was and is to be kind of distant, at least at first, hopefully it will change. Rosalie seems to be nice and liked her new sister from the start. Emmett... Edward is still being a bit mean with him but it's part of his plan.

I really don't get why sometimes reviewers have to be that way. This story is yours and you are the one who decides how "accurate" to time, speech, customs, it has to be what goes better with your story. I do not think you're wasting time and energy.

It seems Bella and Edward have more allies than they thought. That doesn't mean they aren't in some kind of trouble, but at least they know they aren't alone. They both have tempers, and their tempers seem to fuse the same feelings and reactions on both, it is a very interesting situation. 

There is a wedding to start planing it seems.

Bella is giving plenty of thought to her situation. She has to compare it with her cousin's and this comparison can be frightening at times. Her family isn't happy with that union, and that has made her consider that maybe Edward's family could have the same feelings towards her. As valid as her thoughts are, they are also wrong. The situations surrounding both unions are entirely different. She is a good person, who Edward loves and wants to be with. That has to make his family happy.

Her ideas of including them and looking for ways to be nice to them will be helpful, they have to be.

I like the idea of they moving along at a good quick pace. You're right, it gives you the chance to tell us more of the story. 

It is one of those visits you wish was over even before it began. Sadly they know they have to endure it. Bella is not being nice at all, no one expected her to. They will just try to handle things and prevent bloodshed.

Edward's presence will be more than helpful. Bella and Charles are grateful he is there. And he seems to be willing to be up to the challenge.

Edward is an idiot for not telling Bella the truth. People will start talking when they return to England and she will be caught unaware. That will be so hurtful to her.

:)

Great chapter.

Daddy's giving their little girls away at weddings always brings a tear to my eyes. :0)

Maria saying what she said to Alistar during their fight and then saving Bella changed my feeling for her a bit. I laughed at the whole is he dead can we burry him in the back yard bit. ha ha

Definitely not a waste of time and energy. It makes me sad that people leave such reviews. I really admire all the writers who are brave enough to put their stuff out there and let us read it. I'm thankful for all the time they spend writing them.

Great chapter. I hope the mothers are able to keep Maria silent. I know Edward and Bella are already engaged but I'm wondering if he won't go ahead and give her a real proposal. I'm really enjoying your story.

Oh dear, the bit of omission is probably going to come back to bite Edward.

wow edward you should have been more honest with bella

i think if you told her the truth she would have been mad but she would have been okay with it and accepted it. now when it comes out she will look like the fool and she will be pissed beyond belief i think
