Well it's quite obvious to someone who's had 4 children, she's pregnant again! Probably completely unplanned and unexpected.

AWESOME story i loved it even having read it before thanks so much for posting it here ;D
Date: 20 Jul 2014 10:40 PM Title: Chapter 15
i think you did an excellent job in this chapter i loved what bella said about the unrealistic view of all women theyll get in the mags ;)
Date: 17 Jul 2014 9:33 AM Title: Chapter 29
I wish I knew a family just like them, or better yet was a part of said family! Your stories are just so real and so engaging and I get all wrapped up in them and hate to see them end! Rest assured, this was another winner!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 9:17 AM Title: Chapter 28
Well, no big surprise there, as we all knew Sam was just a poor excuse for a human being! No wonder either that Emily hoped there was an Edward Masen in her future. It was a painful thing to go through, but turned out okay.
Date: 17 Jul 2014 8:48 AM Title: Chapter 27
There's nothing like your loved ones for tearing your heart right out of your chest! I really hope Jake and Edward can make this up to each other!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 8:25 AM Title: Chapter 26
Wow! Pregnancy hormones for Bella and utter shock for Esme! I'm not terribly surprised Alice and Jasper got married, it was destiny after all! The twins are growing up and getting on with their lives. Should be interesting with Jared and Kim, I think.
Date: 17 Jul 2014 8:05 AM Title: Chapter 25
Something is going on with Bella sobbing over things like the boys getting drivers licenses! Hope it's nothing bad! Sounds like life has been pretty good for all concerned the past few years.
Date: 17 Jul 2014 7:45 AM Title: Chapter 24
How wonderful for them to have another child! Too bad the boys took it the wrong way, but what else would you expect with the role model they had for a father? I'm betting that hearing what Edward told them, the social worker will deliver a glowing recommendation!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 7:20 AM Title: Chapter 23
The lightbulb has lit up over the twins' heads! It finally dawned on them what goes on with their mom and Edward that puts that smile on their faces in the morning! The secret honeymoon in Hawaii sounds wonderful!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 6:39 AM Title: Chapter 22
Me too, so I must agree there really are nice guys out there! You just have to hunt for them ! Maybe Seth and Alice will like each other and go off to the University of Washington together! The ring sounds gorgeous, by the way, and I'm glad Bella said yes promptly!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 6:10 AM Title: Chapter 21
I am pretty sure that Edward and Bella will have one or two more children, maybe girls to balance out the boys? I was not happy with Charlie and I'm glad Renee stood up to him over Bella and Edward sleeping together. It was beyond heartbreaking for the boys to hear their father speak of them that way! No wonder Bella and Renee both cried! I sure hope Charlie's proud of the way he's acted, too!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 5:44 AM Title: Chapter 20
This whole chapter was enough to make my throat tighten up just a bit. Edward talking to his father, Jake and Jared calling Carlisle, who in turn called Edward and him talking to the boys was very touching!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 5:01 AM Title: Chapter 19
What a mess the boys kind of innocently caused! They're in trouble, and Edward is on his sister's list(you know which list I mean!) plus Bella is kind of upset her babies are growing up so fast! If I could offer Esme and Carlisle a word of advice, it would be to lay off the yelling and ultimatums. The more they holler and bad-mouth Jasper the closer they drive Alice to him. Just sayin'!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 4:30 AM Title: Chapter 18
Edward did such a good, caring thing for those boys when he told them what he did! It is a damn shame their biological father is such a waste of space, but as you pointed out, it happens all the time! Too bad there are people with children that don't care for them as they should! I kind of hope Sam signs those papers and stays out of Jake and Jared's lives! It was also sweet of Angela to give Bella the solid advice she did.
Date: 17 Jul 2014 3:58 AM Title: Chapter 17
Those boys are going to bribe Alice with Jasper's phone number, the little devils! It will most likely work, too! A fairly dramaatic meeting but at least Jake wasn't badly hurt. Can't wait for what Edward has in mind for breakfast in the morning.
Date: 17 Jul 2014 3:33 AM Title: Chapter 16
The mini-crisis was happily averted and the account was a big success! What more can you ask for? Of course, when Edward gets home and settles in, the new neighbors may be a problem, even if they are a bit older than the twins! That part is going to be delicious irony, I'm sure, considering the age difference between Bella and Edward! Poor Alice, I feel sorry for her heartache and hope things work out with her and Jasper!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 3:03 AM Title: Chapter 15
I would be willing to bet a lot of boys wish they had a cool guy explain stuff to them like the twins did! The scene in the Quick Stop was hilarious and Bella's reaction was even better! I love the relationship between Edward and Bella's boys, almost as much as the one between him and her!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 1:27 AM Title: Chapter 14
Oh boy am I loving this story! I'm thrilled they hashed out their differences before he left for Portland, and even moe so that he came back home for a bit! I just hope Bella remembers not to let her damn pride ruin things between them!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 1:10 AM Title: Chapter 13
Yes, I'm afraid that heads will be butting, and often! This trauma in their life has everyone on edge, it seems and the shopping isn't helping, since Bella and Edward see it differently!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 12:50 AM Title: Chapter 12
What a way for the great day to end! Thank heaven no one was hurt, and the boys mowing money was saved! This works for Edward's plans to have them move in with him anyway! The fact that the house was condemned and unfit for habitation may work out in Bella's favor!
Date: 17 Jul 2014 12:25 AM Title: Chapter 11
I have a bad feeling about Heidi going to Portland, especially after Siobahn told what a flirt the girl was! It's great that Ted and Liza like Bella and the boys and this get together at Edward's should be a lot of fun. The twins are wise beyond their years when it comes to their dad. They know where they are in his life now and appreciate that Edward treats them a whole lot better!
Date: 16 Jul 2014 11:54 PM Title: Chapter 10
Well, at least the boys stood up for Edward. It was everyone else that thought he should be dunked for holding out about Bella and her twins. Wonder how she's going to react to him being away for two weeks?
Date: 12 Jul 2014 1:40 AM Title: Chapter 8
That may have been a bit of poor planning(no condoms), but it turned out rather well despite that fact! The honesty factor alone was darling. They seem like just regular people, so you've done a really good job here!
Date: 12 Jul 2014 1:14 AM Title: Chapter 7
I like the glimpses of Edward's working persona and his team. It makes a more rounded character, I think. Since he's hurrying to his house to see Bella, she must have decided it was time to get a bit more serious with their relationship. I did wonder why Edward was having bloodwork done, though?
Date: 12 Jul 2014 12:43 AM Title: Chapter 6
How else would Edward react when he's pretty much in love with Bella already? Sam is awful to say those things to his ex-wife, and especially when he probably knows better!
Date: 12 Jul 2014 12:20 AM Title: Chapter 5
I would have been shocked if Edward hadn't tried to help Bella with her pastdue light bill. Jasper sounds like a pretty nice guy. I bet he meets Alice and changes his womanizing ways! Jared and Jacob will probably have a real good idea for the cell phone campaign.
Date: 11 Jul 2014 10:03 PM Title: Chapter 4
No doubt there are grinches out there who would say this is happening way too fast, but don't you believe it! I know from personal experience, it certainly does, sometimes, happen that fast. It took one blind date for us and we've been together ever since, over fifty-three years, now! As far as I'm concerned, Bella needs to just see where this leads!
Date: 11 Jul 2014 9:36 PM Title: Chapter 3
So, things are not at all the way the neighbors thought. Poor Bella, she's got more on her plate than she can deal with. Not enough support money from her ex and just barely getting by on her salary. Sadly, it's that way for a lot of single mothers.
Date: 11 Jul 2014 8:57 PM Title: Chapter 2
I'm loving this a lot! I think he has her about convinced to give him a chance! I can tell this is going to get real interesting!
Date: 11 Jul 2014 7:42 PM Title: Chapter 1
Sure glad readers convinced you to continue this story. A most unique way for Bella and Edward to meet, and for him to solve the mystery of who the Bandits of Bennett Circle are. Those boys are desperately in need of a man's good influence in their lives! They seem to be running rough-shod over their mother!
Date: 08 Mar 2013 4:11 AM Title: Chapter 23
I'm so jealous. My daughter wants to go to Hawaii ever since she did a research project on it 2 years ago. I looked into Disney's place but at $10,000 for the week with air fair there is no way I can afford it anytime soon. I'm a single mom with no real constant support from the sperm donor.
Date: 07 Mar 2013 6:03 AM Title: Chapter 19
As much as I hate to sound like a old lady. Jasper needs to have the shit beat out of him. Sure Alice will be 18 soon but what jasper is doing is sleazy. If he truly loves her then he would do what's best for her. I never agreeded with them not talking, but he needed to tell her that while he loves her the timing for them is just not right. She needs to go to school and live a little before settling down.
Date: 07 Mar 2013 5:35 AM Title: Chapter 18
While I saw something like that happening. I personally know how unrealistic it is. Now I'm not criticing. It's fiction. But I talked to my lawyer about having my ex husbands rights stripped. He went 9 months without seeing my daughter, no support not even a phone call. My lawyer told me that it's very hard to do and even if I found him and he would of willingly signed his rights away, unless someone was willing to take responsiblty right away and become her father a judge wouldn't even consider signing off on it. It's fucked up but they system still feels that a child is better off with 2 parents even if ones a deadbeat asshole.

Seaky little shits. Lol
Date: 07 Mar 2013 3:23 AM Title: Chapter 15
He did not have to jump right to playboy. I'm glad you mentioned Victoria's Secrets. My brother is 9 years younger then me and when I was 20 all my VS catalogs and the wash rags were disappearing. Took me long enough to figure out why. Lol
Date: 07 Mar 2013 2:49 AM Title: Chapter 14
I'm glad that they truly talked.
Date: 06 Mar 2013 11:58 PM Title: Chapter 13
All they have to worry about is the make up sex. Lol
Date: 06 Mar 2013 10:45 PM Title: Chapter 12
Oh the poor things. I don't blame Bella for not having insurance. When I first left my husband I rented a small house and I never got insurance. It was to exspensive. Thank god she has do much support.
Date: 06 Mar 2013 7:32 PM Title: Chapter 10
I can't fault Edward for being late as much as it sucked for Bella. I'm glad that everything went well with the parents.
Date: 06 Mar 2013 3:17 AM Title: Chapter 8
Yeah they have finally said it.
Date: 05 Mar 2013 5:21 AM Title: Chapter 7
Yeah. Alone time.
And Edwards ad idea is brilliant. I just got my 9 year old a basic phone for Christmas. Because even though I have a iPhone there is no way in hell she's getting one until she is older and more responsible.
Date: 05 Mar 2013 4:58 AM Title: Chapter 6
Sam's a spineless asshole. Bella should take his ass to court the courts will garnish his wages so she gets her child support. Trust me I know, I had to go to 5 contempt hearings with my ex in 18 months because he only paid when he felt like it. Thankfully that's better now. I would say that maybe she shouldn't even worry about support and should just strip him of his parentalrights but that would just hurt the boys. It's such a horrible situation. But thankfully she has Edward now.
Date: 05 Mar 2013 4:27 AM Title: Chapter 5
It's really nice how things are going.
Date: 05 Mar 2013 3:20 AM Title: Chapter 3
I'm glad the boys aren't really delinquents. Even though they are really inventive which can get them in enough trouble.
Date: 05 Mar 2013 2:12 AM Title: Chapter 1
Oh I can't wait to see Bella's reaction. And I really can't wait to see her reaction when she finds out about the boys.
Date: 14 Feb 2013 1:49 PM Title: Chapter 29
I have loved reading this story. You ended it in a wonderful way! Sometimes things don't work out but there is always another chapter yet to come. Thanks for sharing this story!!!

Seeing as this is now the end, I just wanted to say that I absolutely adored this story and always enjoyed seeing that it was updated. I can't wait to see what you write next. I though the ending though surprising was tense and cute and exactly like real life can be, trying but always worth it in the end. I loved this story and am sad to see it end.

Date: 31 Dec 2012 2:02 AM Title: Chapter 1
Hey!!! I just started reading this story, but the first chapter is great and really found funny, i have read most of your stories and liked them all. Please keep writing!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 11 Dec 2012 4:50 AM Title: Chapter 16
Bella jumped to a conclusion and she might have been a bit hard on Edward, but she has a negative history with Sam as her only frame of reference. Also, even if she didn't really believe Edward was guilty, she showed him that he is valuable to her---with her possessiveness. Since there was a time that she didn't take him seriously, about the two of them having a relationship, he likely appreciates her possessiveness (now that they've cleared-up the misunderstanding).
Thanks for writing. This story is sweet and fun (the best of family and romance).
Date: 03 Dec 2012 11:49 PM Title: Chapter 2
I'm loving this story already. It's just been so funny and sweet. 'Looking forward to reading more. Thanks for writing.

oh yeah she is prego again and probably told him and he has no idea cuz he wasn't listening LOL that and she probably told him about the accident too! :) Can't wait for more!

No Leslie heard a father talking to his older children and making them understand they are loved first. New baby does not take away from the love of the older ones no matter who the parents (blood parents).
Date: 29 Oct 2012 4:31 AM Title: Chapter 24
wow!!! Amazing chapter.... and I am so glad that you made this more real, no teenager that has been through what they have would take the news well right away.... I just hope that the case worker doesn't mess up the chances of the boys getting adopted :(
-Kate
Date: 29 Oct 2012 4:24 AM Title: Chapter 24
I hate that Sam made the boys feel like that. Edward did good. I hope the teenage boys listen.
Date: 16 Oct 2012 6:34 PM Title: Chapter 23
Great chapter!! Let's hope that Edward has a good influence on him and he doesn't turn out like his sperm donor....(that is what i choose to call Sam now) Can't wait to read more!!!
-Kate
Date: 16 Oct 2012 2:56 PM Title: Chapter 23
Funny. Edward nailed it. Yes these boys are thinking about things they have no need of experiencing yet.
Date: 16 Oct 2012 11:42 AM Title: Chapter 23
Love this story!! I cant decide which character is my favorite-- Jared & Jacob are hilarious (high school years would be a parent's nightmare with those two) and Edward is all kinds of yummy. I am a big fan of your writing. I also enjoyed Georgia on my Mind (go Dawgs) and Trip of a Lifetime. Nothing better than a tall, hot man in some cowboy boots and some faded jeans!
Date: 16 Oct 2012 4:57 AM Title: Chapter 23
I loved this chapter seeing Edward go "in dad mode" with the boys... It was great to read. hopfully it want come back to bite him in the butt, he's too young for that.. can't wait for the wedding to come and honeymoon!
Date: 08 Oct 2012 1:21 PM Title: Chapter 18
The talk was perfect...I certainly wish that I had had someone to talk to my son about the facts of life when he was becoming a young man. Being a single mom of a boy was difficult in that area.
Date: 08 Oct 2012 1:09 AM Title: Chapter 13
Ohhh...they are both relentless!! Thank you for the fun read!!
Date: 05 Oct 2012 2:59 PM Title: Chapter 22
I love it. I kinda weird that Alice and Jasper aren't together in this fic but its all good. I just hope that Jane bitch keeps to herself and not mess with Bella and Edward... something seems off with her..
Date: 05 Oct 2012 4:23 AM Title: Chapter 22
Great chapter... so happy that they are engaged, and yeah it might be soon, but like you said it is fiction :) Love that Alice and Seth will get together! Can't wait to read more!

Charlie is a real piece of shit right now in my book! Edward loves her and them boys and I think they would benefit more with him as their dad than sam ever wood. Hell he has proven it since day one!

It was not as big a problem as it could have been. Thank you for that. Bella was fine.
Date: 22 Sep 2012 1:29 AM Title: Chapter 15
I am laughing. My daughter has a 16 year old boy. Puberty was not so bad as daddy helped. The first girl friend and my daughter went nuts. I told her you can not expect them not to do this. Well actually what do they do? Call each other that, because they can't go out anywhere alone. So no big deal. Sigh. So glad I am living this long now when her daughter starts dating I guess we will have to sedate my son in law. lol lol

Sam is like a lot of divorced men. When he moved away those children became not so important anymore. Yes he sees them once a year and puts money into the deal but does he worry about them? Call them ? Bella has had to be everything to them. Mrs Uley her mother in law needs to help. I know I would. My grand children are my new lease on life. I would not want them to be without and their parents needs help sometimes. We all did raising kids.
Date: 21 Sep 2012 6:13 PM Title: Chapter 5
You don't dissapoint. I was thinking that homeowners insurance would pay for her hospital bills and the loss of work. If you ask me Mrs Cope needs to lock that cat up. People falling out of trees and off ladders for a cat is just plain silly. IMO.
Next your story is sweet and like life has its ups and downs. I like that. Her electricity was turned off, that happens to people. She does not ask for help. She tries to do it all on her own. Good for her but then again it is hard with kids.
Date: 21 Sep 2012 5:39 PM Title: Chapter 4
she needs this as much as those boys do. I guess Edward does too. Obviously he is over Becca.
