Wow. A furious Tanya is quite a sight to behold. I like how she stood up to Edward for Bella.

I can breathe a sigh of relief. Emmett won't get to play around with Bella when all is said and done.

Carlisle is deliciously evil. I love it.

Jasper is playing a very dangerous game. He's going to get Emmett killed and then himself in the end if he is not careful. I have a feeling all of the Cullens along with Caius will be dead before this fic is over. I can see Edward cleaning house and making new laws when he decides to quit fighting fate. Speaking of fate, I can totally see a prophecy about the male vamp and female human true mates turning the vamp society upside down.

This next chapter should be very interesting.

Yeah, that chapter was a mind-frack. I'm thinking the story would be over if he killed Bella. Of course you didn't say the female was dead. At least I don't have to wait for an update :)

I knew from the start there was something special about Bella and Edward. Something has to be up with Edward Sr and Elizabeth.

Of course with Bella catching the eye and sparking the protective gene of most vamps she comes in contact with I have to wonder if she has vamp in her bloodline somewhere.

That little bit about the prince that shouldn't have been born really has my mind reeling. Is this where Jasper is going to get screwed? Will he be the prince at the palace whent he ancient vamps come calling? Will that be how he meets his demise?

So, it appears that Dimitri is a half-breed. Interesting twist there :)

That chapter was jam packed with lots of fun.

I about lost it when Carlisle and Esme started getting their freak on in front of Jasper. Some things just can't be unseen. Poor Jasper. I loved the whole bit with the garlic. The poor humans need some kind of defense against the vamps.

I'm not upset that you are starting over.  I loved Not So Average so I'm excited to see how this is different from that one.

That was a shocking prologue.  I'm anxious to see what leads Bella to rushing and putting up with that shit.

Bella's homelife totally sucks.  She needs to get away from that crazy shit.  Too bad she's being thrown into the cruel world of College and Sororities and Frats.

It sounds like Charlie and Renee both need some serious help.

Yay, we've met Jasper.  I sure hope he turns out to be as good as he seems to be now.  I loved how sweet he was in NSA so I've got my fingers crossed that he's just as good :)

Jacob is very manipulative so i can totally see him playing with Bella like this.  He'd rather scare her with phone calls and play mind games than show up and face her.  I'm sure he thinks if he can wear her down mentally and emotionally then he will be able to swoop in when the Cullens aren't expecting it and take her away easily because she won't be able to fight him off due to her being too terrified.

I love seeing B&E getting closer.  It breaks my heart to see Edward have to remember not to touch her like he's used to.  I"m sure if Jake knew even Edward sent her into panic attacks sometimes he would be one smug bastard.

I can't wait for the next chapter to see if Jake is being as manipulative as I'm thinking.

I think your Charlie redeemed the Charlie from the fall out of the forced kiss.  I adore Charlie.  He's my favorite human character from the book so you can imagine how horrified I was with his actions throughout Eclipse.  It was nice to see a Charlie in this chapter that I could love again.  Him standing up for Bella and apologizing to Edward was perfect.

I'm glad Billy finally saw reason in the end.  Bella telling Charlie not to let this end his friendship with Bella was very canon of her.  Great job with that.

Edward replacing the bracelet was perfect.  I know it will kill both her and Edward but she really needs to give him a more detailed account of what happened.  Once again the panic and reaction to Edward lifting her wrist like that could have been avoided.  I know she doesn't want to relive it and she doesn't want Edward to know what exactly happened but I think in the long run it would be better for both of them to avoid the triggers.  I'm just waiting for someone to start up The Proposal and send Bella into a melt down.

Great chapter and luckily I have one more to move on to :)

I didn't even think about the pack's plans for Jake being what Edward didn't think he could tell Bella.  I really have mixed feelings about what the pack is wanting to do.  What Jake did is so much worse than what a human would've done.  He knew there was no chance in hell for her to fight him and then the way he used his strength to brutalize her was beyond cruel.  My only fear if they do strip him of his powers is that a lot of the physical evidence is gone.  It would suck to have Jake go free because there was no evidence to prosecute with.

Their time in the meadow was so sweet.  They both need more times like that.

I wanted to beat the hell out of Mike.  After what happened the last time in class I would've thought he wouldn't try to man-handle her.  Of course this is Mike we are talking about and I never thought common sense was strong suit.

I'm dying to know who's working with Jake.  I'm sure who ever it is that is the person trying to grab Bella now.  Hmm, could it be Leah?  I'm torn on her helping Jake.  She could blame Bella for the Cullens staying and her losing Sam.  I would just hate to think that another female could help a guy who had attacked another female like he did.

I just knew all Bella would have to tell Renee is that she needed her mom and she would be there as fast as she could.  I'm sorry but there are some things you just need your momma for and this situation definitely is one of those.  I think she can help Bella so much more than she realizes.

I'm afraid to know who Jacob has with him.  I can only see Edward being worried if they are humans with him if there are just too many.

I'm just wondering how this will work out.  I know that Alice won't be able to see any of the Cullens' futures who are meeting with the wolves.  If I understand her gift correctly then she would still be able to see Edward and Bella's as long as they don't interact with the wolves.  If that is the case then she would know the moment Jacob decided to go after them then their futures would've disappeared and she would know what is happening.  Of course if she is too concerned with the pack and not watching for B&E then that could cause a problem.

What a cliffie to leave us with.  Can't wait for the next update.

It's nice to see Bella relax a bit knowing that Jacob won't be coming back for her.  I'm glad Edward hasn't totaly freaked out over seeing so vividly what Jake did to Bella.  I was afraid he would be more standoffish.  I love that he told Charlie he wanted to kill Jake.  I knew the father in Charlie would totallly appreciate that.

I love the thought of Renee staying at the Cullen house.  That could be very entertaining :)

That was definitely not a filler chapter.  As sucky as it was to see Bella have a panic attack at the grocery store it was so necessary.  Just because Jake and Tanya are dead doesn't mean that is a magical fix to what happened to her.

Someone is giving Charlie a hard time on the phone.  I'm wondering if someone on the rez is doing it.  Maybe one of the wolves who really doesn't care of the Cullens and thought Bella had been leading Jake on.  I could see one of them blaming Bella for everything that happened with Jake.

It still kills me to see Edward unconsciously slip back into behaviors that he was used to with Bella before the attack only to realize it and stop what he was doing.  I wish he would see that Bella not stiffening  at the gesture is enough to realize she is happy to have him doing it.

Good luck with your thesis.  Knowing what's going on in your life makes the wait between chapters worth it.

Oh wow.  My friend Footroza rec'd this story to me and I"m so glad she did.  I can't believe how much I love Roughward already.  You've got me wondering if he will be able to keep this strictly business  It would be awesome to see Bella slowly chip away at his cold exterior.  If that doesn't happen this will still be one hell of a ride :)

It's nice to see Bella graduated and successful at her job.  Now if she can get her personal life in order things would be awesome for her.

I'm dying to know what Edward's been up to the last 5 years.  It seems like he's been working on himself.  I would say just from his appearance that he got the help he was needing for whatever made him a cold, heartless bastard.

It looks like Victoria is still an issue...at least I assume Victoria had something to do with that.  I bet she had something to do with the sabotaged bike Bella crashed.  Yay for saving Angela.  I'm glad Bella isn't too upset over Jessica.  Jess always a bit nasty about Bella in the books.

Sam did not seem too happyt o find out that Sue would be spending some of the holidays with the Cullens.  I just loved Edward throwing all the information out there about Sue and all the time she's spent around Edward.

I love the honesty between Edward and Bella.  This is how they should have always been.  I also love that you have Bella being accepting of their wealth and not pitching a fit over gifts.  I totally get that she's not used to money but I hate it when everyone has her get so pissed at Edward for buying her things after they are married.

I'm just wondering when the wolves are going to pop back up.  I just know they aren't going to be happy about the marriage.  I'm sure they will have an opinion about the possiblity of Edward wanting to change his wife.

I can't wait for Charlie's visit.  That should be quite entertaining.

Sweet baby Jesus, someone needs to slap some sense into Charlie.  My palm is just tingling with the need to do it myself.  I just loved Carlisle getting angry with Charlie for even thinking of taking Bella away from Edward.  I can't decide if something happened to Bella or if she just missed Edward that much to react that way.

The party was great.  I loved the letter opener.  I was kind of surprised that Edward's gift was wrapped on not in a gift bag.  The gifts from everyone were perfect.  It was great that none of the gifts outshone the earrings from Charlie.  I think he needed for his gift to stand up with the rest of them.

ROFL.  I can't tell you how perfect the ending of this chapter was.  That was the slap in the face Charlie needed.  That definitely was a blow to his resolve.  Too bad it wasn't enough for him to totally back down.

I love Renee!  That's all that really needs to be said about this chapter.  Renee rocks!

Hallelujia!  Charlie has finally seen the light :)  I'm afraid to see what the wolves will have to say when Edward and Bella get back to Forks.

Damn!  Nothing better than a possessive Vampward claiming what is HIS :)

Oh hell no!  WTF are you thinking Edward.  If I was Bella there would be no way in hell I would him just stop until I was changed.  That's just cruel.  I would be asking what I did to be getting that kind of cruel and unusual punishment.

LOL, I just love how the Quillettes always freak out when they hear that a human and a vamp have sex.  I think the fact that Bella is still alive and not a vamp or dead after having sex with her husband proves how much Edward loves her and how great his control is.  It has always bugged me that in the original book that the tribe thinks they have a right to say what Bella should do with her life.  Bella knows everything and what she is getting herself into so it should be her decision wether or not to be turned.  I'm interested to see how they treat the situation in your story. 

OMG, I was dying laughing at the conversation with Angela about Edward's diet.  That was great.

LOL, yes Bella, blood would be an added turn on to a vamp.

Fun times with Alice and Jasper.  I love seeing the vamps be able to let loose and be themselves with the human.

That was definitely not how I expected them to move their relationship forward.  Yay for a sleepless and wandering Bella.

Yeah, I was surprised by Bella.  I love that she crushed on Edward since she was 15.

That was definitely a greate start to a beautiful relationship.  Can't wait for Chapter 8.

I just love an older Domward preying on a barely legal Bella.  I like Edward's characterization so far.  I can't wait for the first meeting with Bella.

My heart breaks for Tasteward.  There's nothing worse than not finding the right person for you.  Yes, I do hate Tanya.  I would love to see Bella kick Tanya's ass.  Of course that would have to be sometime down the line when she's come out of her shy shell a bit.  I can't see her at this moment able to open up a can of whoop ass on anyone.

Was Charlie being a cop and observing them from a distance?  Does he have his concerns over all of this or is he just happy to get Bella out of his hair and not have to financially support her?

If Alice is going to be a major cockblocker throughout this story I will really start to hate her.

I was right about why she hasn't told him to call her Bella :)  I have a feeling Bella is having lovely little fantasies about Edward.  I haven't decided how innocent she is.  I don't think she's so innocent tha she's never masturbated but I would say she's still a virgin.

I have a feeling either one of parents is an alcoholic or maybe someone close to her was seriously injured or killed in a drunk driving accident.  That would definitely explain her aversion to alcohol.

I'm so sad to not see the Next link at the bottom of this chapter.  I'll have to attempt to be patient to wait for the next chapter.

You go Edward. Use Tanya to get the mad sklls :)

Wonder what happend to Bella to have her sobbing on the beach.

Damn! Edward standing up to B like that was hot. I bet that shocked the crap out of her. Time to test those mad skills Tanya taught E?

I really feel bad for Edward. He is on such an emotional roller coaster right now. I would love to know Tanya's reaction to how he left her.

LOL, of course Emmett would put it all together with Tanya. Can't wait to face the wrath of Momma Es and Rose.

Holy hell. Bella can be quite the evil bitch can't she? I would love to know what is going through Bella's head. She has me so confused. Seeing how she treats Edward this could work one of two ways. Either she is truly attracted to him and is trying to find a way to act on it. Or she is setting him up for the biggest ridicule he could ever face. I'm going to go with the attraction bit seeing how the first chapter went.

I'm so relieved he had called Bella and not Tanya. I couldn't see him going to her with the conflicted feelings he's beein having for Bella and the fact that he felt guilty for their last encounter.

Bella is quite the interesting character. I love how she gets by in her crowd by not correcting their assumptions.

Edward's little jealous streak about Tanya was quite interesting. If he hadn't had his encouters with Bella and had already been falling for her I would say that jealousy might have pushed him to go for a commitment with Tanya.

LOL, I love that the Chief interrupted their afterglow. Fun times :)

Awe, I love Em even more for jumping in and beating the crap out of James.

I don't trust Tanya. I'm not quite sure if she was screwing around on Edward. I can't quite figure it out.

I love seeing him and Bella slowly get closer. Wonder if anyone else other than Tanya noticed them together.

Damn Bella is good with the parents :)

I love seeing them get closer. I wonder how this will all play out back at school.

Of course things can't be sunshine and rainbows. I'm afraid to know what Tanya was calling about. I can see her being pregnant. That would totally mess up what B&E have.

My biggest question is why didn't Bella embrace her relationship with Edward when Jessica revealed it. Wasn't that what she initially wanted? I really hope Bella gives us a good explanation.

I have a feeling both B&E are having a bit of miscommunication. It seems like they both want to be public with their relationship but they think the other person does not want it. Almost like they are ashamed of being together.

I'm in tears for Edward. I was afraid that all of this would end this way. It breaks my heart to see him go from being so happy and in love to feel that there was no other way out.

Thank F*CK I don't have to wait for an update!

Edward is breaking my heart. I just want to hug him and tell him everything will be alright.

I'm afraid to know what Bella has to say right now.

Hmm, so how much of Tanya being a bitch was James making her? That's really got me thinking now.

I just want Edward to be happy. As much as it kills me to say this, I feel sorry for Bella. I know her whole world has crumbled and she doesn't have anyone to support her through this crap.

Thanks for that Esme POV. It was nice to see her reaction to everything. I was really upset with Esme from the beginning of this story for not listening to Edward or even giving him the benefit of the doubt with the Bella situation. It broke my heart to see her so helpless with everything her child was going through. You redeemed her in my eyes with this chapter.

Yay, we are finally getting through Edward's pain. I want him and Bella together and healing :)

That was great.  I love that it wasn't a typica love story.  I also like that you didn't rush the relationship.  It was nice to see Bella warm up to Edward and go through therapy.  Thanks for keeping it real.

Damn, that was quite a chapter.

Valentines Day was great. I think Bella gave him the perfect gift :)

Rose has some serious problems. It always shocks me when mothers want nothing to do with their kids. I have a feeling things are not going to end well for her with Royce. I hope you guys get Emmett set up with a total sweetheart.

I so hope we finally get Bella and the kids living with Edward. It's long over due in my opinion. And Harry is one stupid SOB that is about to be a dead one.

Great chapter and I can't wait for the next one.

Wow. Something is up with Rose. I don't think it is just jealousy. I could totally see Tanya and edward jr. not being dead. It was a set up and some other. Oldies in the house that burned. Somehow Rose knows and hates Edward so much she won't tell him. Yeah I know that is way out there. 

I love how Bella stood up for herself with rose and Alice. She is growing a backbone when it counts :)

I just know James is going to get back at Edward somehow with bells or the kids. That would be a huge mistake. Edward will kill him if he does. 

I love this story. I couldn't stop reading once I started.

I can totally relate to being frustrated with doctors when they can't diagnose your child. My son projectile vomitted just about everything he put in his mouth for his first two years. We spent many a nights in the ER getting fluids and taking test after test with no luck. Finally after he turned two he started keeping stuff down. Now he's as healthy as can be but still small for his age. Because of my experiences my heart ached for your Bella.

I can't wait for the next chapter to see what havoc Seth can wreak in the Oval Office :)

Yay! Alice and Bella made up :) I just love the things Jamie says.

This seems like it will be an interesting story. I like how you handled James and his disability.

Yay, we finally meet Alice and Jasper. Poor Jasper. Those pregnant hormones can be a bitch.
