A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!! 

I'm italian and everything you wrote is perfectly put and it reminds me of my family ways of acting :-P

and I have to tell you  this.... you're so cool it's not even funny! 

The story,the caracters (I heart Sonny!) everything is amazing! keep going please or I wont have anything good to read and I'll have to study ... -.-" please don't make me do that!!! 

the only thing that's a little bit off is Aro's son name... Peto cause it means fart in italian... but is still cool :-P 

love and shit from your italian fan!

Maybe you can begin the chapter with EPOV and continue with the business.Even though I`m curious about Aro`s POV when he talked with Bella.It`s just a suggestion.

I like drawn out and I love reading EPOV's, oh and definitely lemons!

Macro can't be off to take care of Esme because she's in Az, right?

Loved the chapter & your writing, sorry to hear your feeling out of Twi-fic loop/slacker-mode. I started reading "His Cimmerian View" by WeeKittyAndTat. & "a Taste of Honey" by Soapymayhem is a great read, which you probably aware of.

Personally I would so LOVE a little more of the "light", so I'm up for more beach fun. I'm cool w/whatever you have in mind but...you DID ask! ;-)
Great chapter.

Great chapter! I am totally on board for another chapter at the beach in Edward POV and it has to include a really good yummy delicious lemon!

Just sayin... LOL ;}

More beach and Sonny/Katie cuteness!

Best Part:

Suddenly, Edward pulled me into his side. "Check it out." He pointed, wearing a smile.

When I looked up, I saw my son and Katie kissing on the roof. They were too far away for us to see if tongues were involved, but it was an intense lip lock. They were glued together for several long minutes, until they broke away to wipe their mouths and smile in the opposite direction.

"My kid's got balls." Edward squeezed me.

More beach please. This adventure is fun and also very insightfull looks into their innermost thoughts. Loving it always.

i would like to hear from edward about this weekend on the beach...yeah hes having fun and putting the thing on hold but hes still the skip and his mind is probably on a hundred different things.  also id like to hearfrom esme...what is that bitch doing. i know shes not just hiding out, shes a sneaky bitch and its been too quiet.  heres to a better week of writing.

I loved the chapter as always. I would love to have Edwards perspective next

I really am enjoying the time that they are spending at the beach. I would like to see either a Carlisle pov or Aro. Aro is so sexy and I like to see him getting his groove back on since he is ditching Lauren. He need to find a nice and naughty girl. I know it must be hard to stick with the same characters for so long, but I really still love this story.

hmmm, new pov?  How about another day at the beach but you could do like each diffeent kids pov, Sonny, Dame, Caryli, Ant, AJ  we got a peek of Hanna and Lizzie,  you could even do a sneeky peeky (baby talk in my head) for Peto and Kylie.   Like the kids ideas of going to the beach. Then KAte and Sonny on the roof k-i-s-s-i-n-g.  (singing that in my head).  The Sonny and Edward running on the beach from spov.  And the boardwalk from the kids pov maybe AJ there. Some Dame and Ant or frick and frack as you call it.   OhOH OH OH Dame could totally kick ass at some shooting arcade game.  ( hint hint wink wink)   I think that would be so cool, all the kids pov of the beach trip.   Hope that helps.  It would also build up a foundation of possible things to come.  Now Lemons are so hot between Edward and Bella, but maybe it could be Sonny's first wet dream or something,  kindof hard if it is all kids pov to have a lemon, unless Edward and Sonny have a sex talk while out on their run.  MAyeb Edward describes sex for himor something.   So about this Chapter, Loved it.  I love the workings of our BeBellas mind.   Great update !!!!!

I've put off reading this story 'till I could take my time & savor it. I'm so glad I did, it was a great chapter. I love these characters --can't wait for more!

Great story. Just loved this chapter.

Aww it's great Edward's so care free, I can't wait for part two :)

I love that Bella recognizes Katie's sweetness.

I love Edward's point about the next older guy might not say, No.

Another great chapter, cant wait to read more....

Esste chapter was so sweet!
Bella deserves a break.
Carlisle does not learn, hitting on the girlfriend of Mauro.
Edward I hope you change your mind, and do not kill Esme.
Thank you.

Well next chapter..

Thank  you..

wow, really loved all the family time.  I am surprised that Ed sr can grill thou.  Love Alex and her "M" !   Really hope they sticka round in the story.  The beach time, the girl time the little girls acting liek grown up girls  So true.  That is something so great about your story, all of them relaly you have real life shit and emotions in them.  Poor Edward still sitting on the beach waiting for Bella , wonder if he is going to run into Sonny and Katie down there. I noticed it seemed they were slipping away under the radar.   Hope youupdate soon.  Love ya Lexi !!!!

Lex - Even though E is a young leader still, it was interesting to see him try to bring the next generation along.  I will have to think about the how and why, right?  Great chapter.  I am so glad he didn't break his promise and was home on time the first night.

Thanks for the update, great chapter. So glad the family is getting back in harmony;-)

YAY! Early update! YOU are totally spoiling us!!

Happy Valentine's day to you too!

So, was Anton the new character that you were referring to in your tweets? Can't wait for their lil vacation coming up next update! All of "the family" together always equals good times!

Thanks for another great update as always!!

Sonny is so grown up. Would you be willing to do a spin off on him?

why does this story feel like it's wrapping up? nooooooo

An early update, what a great Valentines gift :0) Love your Edward he may not be "perfect" but beneath it all he's got a good heart and you can tell he loves his family. Looking forward to their trip. I hope they get to have a good time. :0)

Good Chapter.....

Lexi - These last two chapters are amazing.  They are full of so many complex emotions.  Things that needed to be said and dealth with.  Just - WOW!  Great job!  I loved how you approached the lack of Edward being a fixture in his children's lives, yet me the reader has always known that the kids were loved by him.  Great, great job.

girl,  you knocked it out of the park again.  Why did you think it was no good? I personally and I think alot of your other fans/readers enjoy the intense family talk/diaglog.  The bonds of him with Sonny and Dame are so important, and help make him the man and Skip we all love.  And Edward talking with Sonny so much about his mom, I had silent tears running down my cheeks.  And with Dame how he adjusts the conversation for the ages and maturity levels, shows how great a father he is. Wonder who he learned it from.  How is Nanny doing anyway?   Love ya Lexi, oh yea THANKYOU !!!!!!! For the early update !!!!

YAY! 2 updates this week! Woot Woot!! ;)

On that note...this chapter had me all teary eyed and shit! My poor MobWard!

Glad they worked it out and are going to have a family weekend together!

Damion's dream is still freaking me out! Like, is it really just a dream or is it a sign of things to come????

Can't wait for Wednesday!!

Fantastic

Cannot wait to see how Aro will handle the Esme situation! Great chapter!

Thanks for the chapte. I'm glad they finally talked. I really liked that Edward for once was allowed to say his piece also regarding last chapter. Looking forward to the next chapter, and can't wait to find out what happens to Esme.

This story is so good. I read this from the begining. Can't wait for more.

Poor Aro! It's not fair that killing Esme fell on his shoulders. Carlisle should have been made to do it. Wasn't that part of the oath they take? "the family" comes before family. I felt a little better knowing Edward is going with him except for what are Edwards real reasons for leaving? He said that knot in his stomach was gone he's not still feeling like he wants to be away from Bella now right? They fight over the silliest things but I'm glad they made up.

Awesome

Edward and Aro well hopefully nothing crazy happens with that trip.  And relationships take work especially Edward and Bella and thats what makes them more realistic.

Whoa! I am getting a scared, nervous, kind of excited  feeling that some shit is coming our way! Arizona here we come! LOL

This fight between Edward & Bella scared me! Especially when he started talking about needing space and shit! And Damion's dream scared me thinking that someone is really watching thru his window or something plotting to take the kids or some shit to get revenge against Edward! And hopefully it was just my crazy imagination going all batshit on me and that it really was just a bad dream! LOL

Then the Edward & Aro scenario...Geez Edward...you need to be nice to Aro because I don't want what happened to Marcus to happen to you!

So much happened in this update! Loved every minute of it!! When I am bored I constantly reread Quiet Storm! I just love these stories and the characters that you have created sooooooo sooooo much!

Thanks for another great update as always!! Keep up the great work!! I don't ever want this story to come to an end...Just sayin...

What a crazy day for Edward too cute.  I'm glad Bella has a good home to come back to.

 Love this story.

Sorry I have not reviewed lately. I have been really sick for almost 2 months. I owe you 2 thank yous. (Well more actually. I owe you at least one for every chapter I read and didn't review.) But I owe you a big one because being able to read FF was really the highlight of my existence for a couple of months. So, Thank You for helping me through.

Now, thanks for this chapter. I love that E is "The Boss" yet he still loves his little girl enough to let her mush and sticky him all up while watching her. Not to mention loving his wife and family enough to let the entire situation be taking place to start with. Lesser men would have walked away.

Yeah, Esme. I think it is about time that bitch meets her demise. I am thinking you are thinking that too. Once again Carlisle proves what a scum bucket he is when he will do it for the money. But hey, 50 mil. that's a lot of money. So guess I can't really fault him since she does deserve it.

Thanks again!

I love how protective and nurturing Sonny can be with his siblings.  Edward would be in big trouble raising those kids without Bella!

I am torn by Esme's soon-to-be hit. Does she deserve it [Yes]; did Carlisle's actions force her hand [Yes].  It's sad that it comes to this.  And Bravo, this chapter is very realistic to other mob shows I have watched where they will do just about anything if the price is right.  That's just business to them...  Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us, love it!

Love your dialogue; the money twist was unexpected. I'm always reading on my phone so I don't review enough. This story is fantastic.

Awe, sweet. Things are coming together again,  but wait I'm confused I thought Esme was pining Edward? Carlisle didn't mention that. I'm a little confused on how that went down with Marcus trying to give Esme her hearts desire.

hmmm wonder what made Carlisle change his mind about not wanting Esme killed. I honestly can't believe she's still alive. I'm glad Bella's happy now. Are they going to look up who her dad may really be? As always I love seeing Edward with his kids. ha ha 

I figure Mari has her claws out soon. :-)

Awesome as always: )

I suppose it's no sequal #3....no matter how awesomely fantastic

That would be.. Hint hint : )

Thank you, good chapter. I am not sure at times what they are going to do with someone. Esme has dug herself a hole. If "Daddy" was alive she would be in better shape.  Carlisle has created a lot of their problems with his screwing around. Of course Esme does it too.  I am not fond of those type people. Two wrongs never make a right. That is my motto.

I am actualy re-reading this fic.  I'm surprised (as I don't read a lot of other's comments) that people are freaked out over this mob story.  Your doing a great job.  I normally read at FF but wanted all unedited verions and catch up with where we are at.  So yeah I finished QS again and now this one.  Should be done by the next update :-)!  I missed a few things and rememberd a few things so this is good.

Lex - great great chapter.  first off screw the reviewers who are picking on you for that!  second and most importantly, you have written an amazing story with a well thought out plot an complex characters, you are amazingly tatented. 

In this chapter I was a little worried about Edward letting Bella go with Aro, yes he was disappointed, but I hope he realizes that he did the right thing.  She needed to go and it might have been better if he wasn't there with Renee.  Chances are she wouldn't have been so "honest" if Edward was the one with her. 

I have been ok with the lack of communication between Aro and Bella, so I guess I could go either way after this chapter.  Even though they weren't talking, it was obvious that Aro still cared for Bella and he would never let any harm come to her. 

Great chapter.  Meloni huh?

So Rene was the hoor. just kidding, she's a sad thing though. Too bad Charlie was such a dick(he was a detective on the police force right?) sorry, love the puns. But, that Rene keeps defending Charlie, who wore her down into going out & seeking solace from another man, makes it very difficult to sympathise too much or care too much for her. The drinking makes her a better person though, haha. Ya, they should never leave their kids with her.

My thoughts are I'm bummed. Because I'm all caught up now, there's no beautiful next to greet me at the bottom of each page;(

Thats okay --I will be anxiously awaiting each update:-D)

I love your writing, thanks so much for all your hard work, it's much appreciated.
