If Masen has his way ... Probably never! ;)

It took a little alone time for him to come to his senses, but he did! And he was man enough to say he was sorry - we weren't sure he would do it so quickly :)

No lemon for a while is right. LOL  But it will eventually happen.

He can't see it because he doesn't know what it looks or feels like - He's never had it before.

Hi LetRobstenLuv4ever

I'm glad you liked the temple pictures. I added a few extra photos to chapter 12 on my blog. I can't remember if I told you that in a prior response or not and chapter 14 photos are on my blog now.

Regards, Jkazzie

Hi LetRobstenLuv4ever

Alice went after them because she felt left out. We've all done it, I'm just not sure if we'd all do something so dangerous. Alice isn't hurt but she won't be so keen to explore the tunnels again after her first experience.

Regards, Jkazzie

Hi LetRobstenLuv74ever

I think Alice deserved the spanking as well, even if in reality we'd probably seriously injure any man who did that to us!

There is a reason for Alice's behaviour, so stay tuned.

Esme is showing us how strong and non-nonsense she really is.

I love the idea of a photo-shopped shit-covered-Alice, but alas my expertise with photographic software is not that good. Now on the otherhand, if that is something you are great at, feel free to submit your artwork and I'll post it on my blog with credits assigned to you.

Kind regards, Jkazzie

Hi LetRobstenLuv4ever

Thanks for reading and reviewing chapter 28 - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I actually surprised my self with what I wrote. :)

Thanks for letting me know about the error. I've left it in, but added a little something extra to fix it up:

"His moaned response was drowned out by the tones of the Triton shell, as Jasper sounded out the call we'd practiced that warned of a medical emergency. It wasn't the call we'd agreed upon for this mission, but I dismissed it as unimportant."

Thanks again for the review and the 10 rating.

Regards, Jkazzie

Bella of course you know by now is only the cleaning girl.  Thanks again and again for all your wonderful reviews.  Kasi (&Nikky)

Thank you for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  Edward’s view is improving, and he is learning quickly that he is not able to function to his fullest at Aro’s club.  Aro’s club and Aro and some of his girls will remain a vital part of this story.  Having Edward putting on one of Bella’s newly gifted bras was such a fun thing to write about, we hope you all found it just as amusing as we did.  This story has a long way to go.  We have been asked when things will pick up between Bella and Edward.  Well we promise they will be together, but Edward is just learning to change and before he could give himself to her fully, he has to let go of a few things from the past.  There are a few more bricks that need to come down off that wall he has built.  As for Bella, her pure innocence alone is a good reason for things between them to simmer slowly into a boil.  I will tell you this, there first kiss is written already...and Lordy I needed some ice water after that one.  WOOOWHOO!  I know the weekly updates, seem like forever, but if we get things wrapped up and have the story done on our side then we will post faster.  Right now Nikky is working on 25 and I am working on 24 and we know that there will be at least 30-35 chapters.  Thanks again for the story love.  This story is dedicated to those of you who care enough to review!  With our love, and until next week.   Kasi and (Nikky)

Chapter 13 teaser...subject to changes during beta process.

I hear the beep of a horn, and know that the car is here. I grab my overcoat, and I head out for my painful evening.

“Good evening, everyone,” I say as I close the limo door.

“Hello Edward, I see you still haven’t tied your bowtie, Siobhan can tie it for you if you’d like; she’s really good at them.”

I turn to face Alice, trying not to scream at her. “No Alice, I can manage myself, thank you very much. I will tie it right before we arrive at the Autumn Ball.” I feel eyes on me, and my head turn’s to see who else is in the limo. There sits Siobhan, in a…dress? Fuck, it leaves nothing to the imagination, the dress… if that is what you call it. It’s more like a sheer piece in the front, glued to her skin. There doesn’t appear to be any cloth on the sides of her entire body at all. She cannot be possibly wearing anything under the dress. I can see from her armpit to the sole of her foot in the clear stiletto shoes she is wearing, there is nothing but skin. She looks like she should be working for Aro, what a trashy high class whore!  I am sure she thinks it’s attractive, and I am sure everyone will know she is going commando. I mean I like women to go commando, but I also like to be the only one that knows. If I wanted my date to not wear panties, I wouldn’t want every other person in the general vicinity to know too. I don’t want to share! Thank God she isn’t my date! There is another reason on the list of why I won’t date her, or any other women.

“Wow, Edward, you look really good,” Siobhan smirks at me before crossing her legs. She lets her dress fall to the side, I am sure if I was looking I would have seen her pussy. The way she was right now I, or anyone for that matter, could finger fuck her here and now for all to see. I turn my head in disgust at her behavior.

“Edward, are you going to tell us how we all look?” I look back at Alice, with a broad smile on my face. “Sorry, forgive my rudeness. Alice, Rose, Esme, you all look very beautiful.” I give them my best smile that almost says, see I can do nice.

“Siobhan, your dress is very…nice?” I make my statement sound like a question because I real don’t know what she has on. Siobhan laughs and goes to touch my arm, and I shrug away from her.  I see she’s about to speak, so I jumped in first. “And of course Charlotte, you look beautiful as always. Peter is an extremely lucky guy, and if he does not mind me stealing you for a few minutes tonight, I would like to ask you something?”

We love his lack of filter, he always tries to be so well spoken, yet around certain people he jsut can't control it.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Kasi (&Nikky)

Wow what else can Nikky or I say...once again the overwhelming response and the amount of story love we are receiving from so many people just makes us both feel so loved.  I know that this story may have a few minor flaws, but we have tried all along to keep them to a minimum.  So essentially thank you as always for reading and reviewing our story it makes us all giggly and excited to see all the reviews we are getting. 
We asked you who you thought it might be that broke into Bella and the twins apartment, and I must say we were a little surprised that a lot of you have it figured out.  With a wide range of evil or rude nasty characters, many of you said it was Uncle Harry...and you are right.  There will not be resolution for a bit when it comes to Uncle Harry, so if you want to figure out what he was looking for all I can suggest is watch for clues.  There are some very important and much asked for things coming soon. 
We have been asked many times for Edward to stop using Aro’s girls for his pleasure.  And where we understand why, we also knew it was very unrealistic for a man with so much anxiety, pressure, cynicism and tainted view to jump into a healthy relationship and give up the release and hidden pleasure he has surrounded himself in to get by for the past five plus years.  He has slowly been weaning himself from the place, and very soon he will open up and tell Bella why he went there.  We have been asked when you all get to know a lot more about Edward...well very soon actually, and by that I mean the next few chapters are chuck full of things from the past. 
We have been asked if Renee will come back...(A LOT ACTUALLY)...Renee was Bella’s biological mother, who died when Bella was only three years old.  At the age of three after her mother died, custody of Bella was given to Charlie Swan who was her biological father.  Charlie was married to Sue Swan, who is the mom she talks about leaving all the time.  Sue Swan is the person who left Bella to care for the twins.  Since this story is not alternate universe, neither, Charlie or Renee will be making any grand entrance, unless via a dream.  But don’t get too happy, because Sue Swan is still out there somewhere, and she has a few things to say.
We have been asked a lot if Alice, Rose, Siobhan, and Esme will make any redemption...Esme already has begun her turn around, and we think she is doing well.  Siobhan, well she wore out her welcome quite completely at the ball, at this point there is not a real plan to drag her back into the storyline.  Alice...well this is a hard one for me.  I actually normally always LOVE Alice, but this Alice is a tough nut to crack.  She is not going to bring in the roses and become a fan favorite anytime soon, but you will notice some changes.  As for Rose, well...I just can’t wait to hear your opinions of her...and I am sure you’ll have plenty next week.
Updating...we had planned all along to only update every other week on Thursdays.  However since posting the first chapter we have been on an every week posting schedule...and we have NO INTENTION of changing that at this time.  Nikky and I have a comfortable cushion, and the next chapter to post is with the beta now.  I got this weeks chapter back from the beta on Tuesday afternoon, so realistically we are posting around when they are ready.  Nikky is working on her part of chapter 26 right now, and I am working on 24 so we are not looking at any lapses in time.  We are both so excited you are choosing to come down this road with us. 
Where the next chapter has some major info and angst, we promise that chapter seventeen will make up for it.  Thanks again for always being so supportive and showing the story love HCV deserves.

Kasi (&Nikky)

Chapter 16 Teaser...subjected to changes during the BETA process...

Its Thanksgiving today, and I am on my way to pick up Bella and the kids.  Bella and I decided that, after dinner with my family, they would all stay the night at my house tonight.  I will run them home to get their things for the camping trip in the morning, and see them off to camp.  Bella will make sure that Jake has enough food, and then she is coming to spend the weekend with me.  I’m looking forward to this weekend, but I am worried about my growing feelings for her. I knock on the door before using my key to get in.  Bella gave me a spare key so I could let myself in. The new door has a double lock on it, and is reinforced with steel; no one is breaking this one down.

I walk in, seeing Leah in a black, knee-length dress with a cream ribbon around the waist, and black shoes.  Seth is wearing a pair of black pants and a cream colored button down shirt, with a black tie and shoes.

“Wow, look at you Leah! You’re very beautiful, and Seth, you look so handsome.” They both smile at me and look up as Bella walks in. She is in a cream colored dress, with a black ribbon around the waist. The dress goes to just above her knees; she looks fucking beautiful in it - so fucking beautiful.

“Wow, Bella! You look sensational...really beautiful.  Are we all ready to go?” I look her up and down, I am so glad she allowed me to buy us all new outfits for today. 

I got around her apprehension by telling her that I wanted to go to church with them this Sunday night.  We are attending the evening service after Seth and Leah return from camp.  Since I was buying something for myself, I wanted to get them something, as well.  As usual, getting Bella to let me buy Seth and Leah something, was easy, but her...not so much.  I was so fucking glad Seth and Leah helped me. I have on black pants and black shirt with a cream colored tie.  I push my fucking guilty feelings down and smile at the three of them.

“Yes, we’re all ready.” Bella picks up their bags, and I quickly take them from her.

“Let’s go,” I say as I usher us all out the door together.

Thanks so much, I hope you enjoy

Definitely he did! Yes, Finding Bella is a fairly well-used title and I think there was a well known fic by that name, but not the one I was thinking of. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review! Yes, she asked for socks. I thought it was cute. :) And I'm glad you like my Rose! I think she's an under-utilized character in fanfiction.
