Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Thanks hon!  It's gotten a dozen hits in the last hour, and this is a better known story so once people know about the move I feel it will do well on thii site!

Thanks...I'm sure there'll be a nice response to the next two chapters once they get added!

Yups...it did!  Wait until they tell Charlie and Renee!

I can't really write a hateful Leah, partially because some people think I'm a witch with a b as well.  I had fun writing this chickie though!  Esme and Carlisle want to show that they aren't alone and Ed and Bella know what the other needs to feel loved.  It was a great way to show just how much they know each other. Thanks for the love pudding~

I'm glad you enjoyed the sugar, had to push it so that Edward would call Charlie.  Now all is right.

Well have fun at the baby shower!

Thanks.  I know that I can't believe its ending either.  I'm so glad you love this one, I can't believe how well this took off over here.  Billie and Edward are my new fave part.  Daddyward is awesome!  You'll get a chappie real soon~

You're so fricking cute!  This is another fun story and I'm loving coming up with the names for the titles based on the songs now that I moved it!

It is another PA, but she will remain a mystery for a little while longer.  Lauren has a plan and that's part of it.  It'll open his eyes to a lot of things and she'll get to see what it's like to try and make it in the city alone.  It's a growing experience.

Quick like lightning you are!  This one I still have to beta, but HBtY is done so I'm throwing that up before I go to bed!  Thanks for being the first reviewer again!

I've been doing it in all my stories so people will actually see the pics because most wont go to photobucket.  I had the image and when i found the pic I literally squeed...it was so perfect!  That trick doesn't last long~

I'm glad...sorry you got all thrown off by not having read this one yet!

I'm a Tolkein fiend so I had to pass that on to Bella, plus it was such a cute idea and will serve an important purpose in the climax of this story!

Awe...I missed you too, I worked all weekends so I was busy too!  This will be continued once I get at least one or two of the others done...it'll all depend on the response!  I keep seeing the response over here and it has been amazing!  So much fun!  Okay heading to bed, I have to work the morning tomorrow :.{

Thanks for the love...now that I've caught up I can actually read!!!  Who'd would have thought!

yeah...I saw that dress and fell in love and my baby was cute back then! Twitter gave me WC's which pushed me to finish this and tell me what I had wasn't crap...so I'm so glad I did...I'm nervous to see the response...

THanks again for the love and for spitting this out! I thought u were emailing to say it was the wrong file or something~

Thank you love!  I hope people check this one out because I put a ton of time into it.

I've done the pinning the skirt thing out on a boat once, it works!  That dress would have been fine for Bella, in fact some of them wore dresses like that to the opening night party, but they want her to be the belle of the ball because she's proven herself, plus they're scheming something delicious in terms of getting her back with her caddie!

Thanks!  I really can't wait for the epi!  This one was the chapter I'd been dreaming up since the start which made it hard to get right, because I'd been thinking about it since the beginning.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I have some ideas mapped out for where I could go.  I just have to get my head around some of the ideas first.  Edward is definitely going to be really fun to write in this one.

Well, I'll tell you that Jacob has been doing a real number on Bella's head.  That little piece of her life isn't going to come out completely until she explains it to Edward.  As for Edward, Bella will get a small glimpse of him soon but he won't fully come into the story for a few more chapters. I have to set some other couples up first before I bring him in.  Charlie's partner will be causing him problems for awhile but we will only get short explanations of what he's up to. You know how Charlie is.  Thanks for reading this. I appreciated it greatly.

No worries.  I'm way behind on yours too.  I will be catching up on your original soon.

Timing is everything.  Their relationship seems to be coming at the wrong time but she loves him and Edward can't be there.  She was kind of ready to let him go but the 'I'm sorry' always brings her back.

Thank you so much for the review. You don't know how much it means to me.

Poor, poor Bella...so close yet so far.  I'm just glad she made Jacob wait an hour before trying anything.  If it wasn't for that little delay, there would have been no stopping them.  And thanks to Charlie, who has offically become my hero, for being the suspicious cop that he is and making sure to call Bella in time to stop the mess she got herself into.  She didn't see it that way at the time but she'll be SOOO thankful later.

And yes...Edward's POV is definitely next.  He will officially move to town and now have to deal with seeing the girl he's waited all these months for in the arms of someone else.  Things are about to get interesting.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  I hope you weren't too mad at me and wanting to cut my fingers off for taking things as far as I did. It had to be done.  Talk to you soon - D

Edward respects his parents and follows their rules as much as he can. He doesn't cause much trouble for them. They have enough to handle with Emmett so he is the calm one of the family.

Edward is very much like his dad.  His respect for girls comes from watching how his dad treats his mom. He is quite the romantic and Emmett wasn't lying when he said that Edward acts more like he's fifty than fifteen.  There is a maturity about him that you don't see in teenage boys.  The part with the kiss came from personal experience. I had that happen one time when I was sixteen and I've never forgotten it. It fit his personality perfectly.  I do know that no one wants him kissing Jessica. He still wants Bella but he knows that he will never willingly cause her to break up with Jake. Jessica has spent everyday at his house since they moved in and he really starts to like her.  He doesn't know about her reputation...yet. 

Thanks for the review lady.  Thanks for being one of the ones to help me get through this one. It was tough.  TTYL - D

Excited, nervous, happy, hopeful, confused, numb and heart-broken...those best sum up what Edward is going through after Bella turns her back on him.  He doesn't know what to think and, with Jessica around, it's not going to get any easier for him. I feel for him because, without knowing it, he dug this grave for himself. Hopefully he can figure a way to get himself out of it.  Thanks for the review hun. I can't wait til you're back with us again because you have been missed.  Lots of love - D

Hey darlin, I always love your reviews. I've said it before and I'll said it again, Jake can do no wrong in Bella's eyes. But, once her ears get involved, it's gonna be a whole different story. Stay with me love. Its closer than you think.  Love you so much, hun - D

The music surrounded her, swirling like a tornado. Bella moved her hips and danced along side of Tanya's lithe body as she got lost in the sound.

"Excuse me," a deep voice spoke into her ear. She turned and saw a tall, handsome man smiling down at her.

"Would you care for a dance partner?" he asked.

"No thanks," Bella responded. "I'm fine with my friend."

He looked over her shoulder and nodded in that direction. "Looks like she found someone else."

Sure enough, when she looked, Tanya was dancing with a blond young man. She shook her head and laughed before turning back to the man.

"The answer is still no, but thanks for asking."

"Ah, come on. I'm alone and you're all by your self. What's the harm?"

"I think the lady declined your offer, pal," Edward spoke, sliding up against Bella from behind.

Thank you so much for reviewing! The Monday teasers are up on the Blog. (kitsushel.blogspot.com)

In other news, Bella and Jack both won the Avant Garde Awards that they were up for! I simply can not thank everyone enough! You guys are the single biggest reason that this story has been as successful as it has! I adore each and every one of you! And not just for voting or reviewing, but for continuing on this journey with me and loving Jack as much as I do!

I'm shooting to have the EPOV up soon, but he's been difficult. I'm also in the process of writing a Victoria POV for the Fandom Against Domestic Violence compilation. It should be interesting to see how well I can channel bat-shit crazy!

"Edward, can I ask you something?" she asked in a quiet voice.

He shifted slightly and brushed a piece of hair from her face. "Anything, baby."

She swallowed nervously, worried about what his response would be to her question. "The documents that James showed me, were they real?"

He took a deep breath and nodded hesitantly. Betrayal pierced her heart and she felt tears spring to her eyes.

"Ssh, don't cry," he whispered, brushing thumbed across her cheeks. "It's not like it sounds."

"Then how is it? Why were you petitioning for custody if you're moving across the country? Or was that a lie?" she replied with a small sob, her body beginning to shake.
