Summary: Past Featured Story

tsou

 

Edward Cullen, enigmatic, flirtatious, and career focused, 30 year old General surgeon, moves from NYC to the sleepy town of Port Jervis, which is a small town in upstate NY, to join his father's practice, after residency. Bella Swan, shy and independent, 23 year old surgical technologist, has lived in Port Jervis all her life. Same stuff different day, is her usual mantra. How will the arrival of the new Doctor in town change things?

 

This is a Edward/Bella story, which is all human, with canon couples. The story, which is centered around a hospital, is not your typical medical based drama. It takes place in the operating room, where two people from two different sides of the surgical spectrum meet. There is not only romance and drama. There will be Angst and a crap load of humor too. Plus this is rated M for language and future lemons. Please enjoy! FYI this is my first Fanfic and is not Beta'd. So I apologize a head of time for any grammatical errors that there may be. The first few chapters are short, but hold on tight, for they do get longer. This story might just surprise you. I love it and hope you all do too.  Please leave a review. Let me know what you all think.

-

Turning to Edward, I felt a magnetic pull. His eyes alone wrenching me forward. Stopping myself, a foot away from him, he lightly touched the bruises that adourned my jaw and kissed my forehead, I then closed the distance, latching my arms around him. He embraced me and I buried my head into his chest. Holding me tightly to him, I had finally found the comfort that I have craved since last night.

This was when I just knew, I had fallen in love with Edward Cullen.

Summary: Past Featured Story

stories/25884/images/INIcopia.jpg 

'The story of us', was 'Bon Secours'. And 'Instructions Not Included', was 'Bon Secours the sequel'. Sorry to throw you off, but a name change was a must. 

Sequel to 'The Story of Us', if you didn't read that, please do so before you read this. The title says it all, since children do not come with an instruction manual. This picks up right where the original leaves off, 'The Story of us' epilogue. If you liked that, you will LOVE this. How will Edward and Bella deal with a house full of teenagers? There's flashbacks, more drama, more lemons, much more humor, and a whole lot of story. 

Doctorward is there too, just like the first story. 

It's incredibly long because we have the (A) story, which is Edward and Bella. Then we have the (B) story, which is EJ and CC, their two oldest children. 

Points of view will fluctuate. Chapters will be split, since there's essentially two stories in one. 

Rated NC-17 just in case for Lemons and Language galore

Edward, Bella, the whole gang, their kids, plus a few original characters.

Author's Response:

Well without a doubt I think it is a clean sweep, everyone wants to either: kill, beat or maim Renee.  Nikky and I both want to thank you all for telling us all of this.  To us it means more knowing we were able to evoke those kinds of feelings in our readers, than any of you can know. 
There have been a few people laying threats about bring charges or else I will walk from the story.  I want to address that by saying, Bella is not as weak as she used to be, and trust that the cards will fall exactly as they should.  Renee’s story is set in stone for us, and we will not deviate from how we planned it.  Neither of us wants to say, Renee will go to jail and Renee will suffer this and that way ... What we want is for this story to unfold as it was and is intended to do so.  All we can say is trust in us enough to know that we will not let a story go with things unfinished. 
Now we do need to address the several comments about how Edward needed to step up and be the Dom and take control at the hospital and how Renee wouldn’t have been allowed to do what she did.  Sadly if a person is an adult and is unmarried and doesn’t have a power of attorney signed over to someone else, medical choices fall to your nearest blood relative.  Edward trying to control things would’ve most likely gotten him removed from the premises, and we’re sure you’ll appreciate how well he brings out the Dom soon.  Some questioned if the hospital would’ve kept Renee out being it was her fault, but unless the police were involved the hospital is in a hard situation. 
Finally we want to say again that we will continue to post every Sunday night/Monday morning, until the story is fully written.  Once the story is fully finished we will post twice a week until it is completely posted.  Thank you so very much for reading our story, reviewing our story and loving our story so much.
Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser: 
“I love you Mom, and want you in my life,” Bella says.

I feel my heart start to race, but I hold back the yelp that wants to come out. I’ll beg her if I have to; I need her in my life. I can’t live without this girl. She may’ve only been in my life over a short period of time, but she has quickly become everything to me.

“And I hope one day you can forgive me,” Bella says looking to me as she speaks. “But I need Edward more, a lot more. I know that I will never be enough for you or for him, no matter what I do. I know that Edward deserves so much more than what I can give him.” 

I shake my head and walk in. “Not true,” I say with a smile.

“But, here’s the thing, he’s a good man, Mom. He has such a big heart and he would never hurt me physically in any way. When—and I know it will be when—he leaves me, he will make sure that I am still okay. He makes me happy. He makes me want to live.  He’s the reason I’m still alive.” Bella’s eyes fall to my feet.

“Don’t start that silliness again, Isabella.” Renee starts chastising my girl. 

I walk right up to Renee and glare at her. “Quit treating her like a pet; she’s your daughter.”

“Say your goodbyes, Isabella. You’re coming home with Phil and me.”

Bella shakes her head. “No! I can’t and won’t leave with you. I love you Mom and I will be here when you forgive me, but I’m staying with Edward, if he’ll still have me.”

I move quickly to Bella and look into her eyes. “You’re more than enough for me. You’re so much more than I ever dreamed of. I’ll always have a place for you in my life.” I lean my forehead against Bella's.
