Hi shewoolf

The boys can be evil when they want to be. lol. I most certainly would have been watching and probably ensuring the owners of the house had cctv installed too. 

Last two chapters are with my beta, so will hopefully post them soon.

Take care

Well a lot of you still want Renee to die a slow and painful death, but many of you are just glad she is gone.  Renee will be heard from again in future chapters, however we don’t want to give away too much by telling you how, when or why.  We think the next chapter will be the second most popular chapter to date when it posts.  Christmas and preparations for it, is a very fun time for Edward and Bella and will hopefully be well received by our readers. 
On a side note, please check out the wonderful little story that Nikky, Jess2002 and I are writing for Savannavansmutsmut.  It is called If I Die Young and it is posting under the author name: WeeJessAndTAT. 
Nikky and I would love to thank whoever the people were that nominated us in so many catagories for the Twi-Fic Awards.  We are nominated on four different stories: His Cimmerian View, Meeting Her Needs, Diamond Dolls Kitty Cave and Crabs And Cream.  We were also nominated in the veteran author section.  The link to vote can be found on our profile, and if you don’t vote for us, vote for someone.  There are some AMAZING writers, stories, banner makers and readers all nominated for awards. 
Be sure to check out our spook-tackular — Halloween 2013 One-Shot (This is our 3^rd year in a row doing a one-shot for Halloween,) it is called: Crushes, Canines & Clowns. 
Can’t wait to see what you all think of the two stories listed above, and please go vote.   
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser: 

I lead her back to my car and we drive to another place where I can pick up the things that I need. I watch as Bella blushes and chuckles at the joke gifts the store has. I frown when I see that she has a bag, having bought something without showing me.

“What’s in the bag, Little Girl?” I ask trying to get the bag from her. But she’s quicker and hides it behind her back.

“It’s one of your Christmas gifts, Sir, and you can’t see it until Christmas morning.”

I chuckle shaking my head at her, knowing this will be fun for both of us in the long run.  “Oh, is that a fact, Little Girl? I could order you to show me, you know?”

Bella shakes her head at me. “Then your girl will tell tales to her Sir’s mom.”

My mouth drops open and I look at her, smiling internally, because she is willing to stroke the lion and play. “Is that so, Little Girl?”

Bella nods at me, but bites her lip.

“Well then, Little Girl, I may need to give you a spanking,” I say playfully to her.

“Your girl will take the spanking, Sir. Your girl really wants this present to be a surprise for her Sir.”

“Fair enough, let’s finish shopping.” I shake my head, watching her walk away from me. She looks over her shoulder and flicks her skirt a little showing her ass.  “Spanking it is then,” I say to myself before walking after her.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  We were very glad to see that the major majority of you are no longer questioning Edward’s abilities to do the right thing.  The next chapter is the chapter that will really set things into motion.

 We have had some concerns brought to our attention regarding the fact that Bella talks to Edward about herself in third person.  We are not saying that EVERY submissive talks to their Dominant in third person, but the research we’ve done, more often than not it is the way it is.  Keep in mind that we’ve spoken to Dominants and submissives alike during our research.  In this story Bella has a photographic memory, she could have read any number of books which reference the usage of third party speaking as a natural way to show submission.  Neither of us is saying anyone else should do this, but in this story Bella is quite the natural at speaking as a submissive. 

Some have suggested that Edward try to just be a boyfriend and not a Dom to Bella.  Edward will discuss all of this with her soon, we assure you that no stones will be left unturned.  Chapter eight you will get to meet Charlie, but first we will have a turning point in seven that many of you have been asking for and suggesting since chapter two. 

There have been a lot of comments and references about the neglect Bella has withstood from her ‘family’.  When Nikky and I first talked about this story I wanted us to play up the neglect, because it is a huge amount of the way many children live.  I have shared with everyone, in the author’s notes and review replies, that I was a victim of neglect.  When I talked about my own experiences it was not for your sympathy it was to say that I know it happens.  I want to say thank you to all of you who have made mention of my past abuse, and send hugs to those who have shared some of their own stories with us.  Not everything Nikky and I write about Bella happened to me, and as an adult I had a moderately decent relationship with my parents.  I cannot say that Bella will, or that this story will end with her having contact with her biological parents. 

We hope this addresses the majority of your concerns and or questions.  We will see you next week with a pivotal chapter in the story! 

Much love, Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:
“Please, excuse me, I need to take this,” I inform Aro and move away while answering my cell. “Beautiful, how are you this evening?”

I don’t hear a reply, but I can hear music in the background.

“Ah, shit! That hurt,” Bella’s voice comes across the line, but it sounds off and slurred.

“Bella, are you okay?” I ask alarmingly, already moving toward the exit.

“Oh, this ... weird ... I was going to call you.  I feel ... real funny ... strange.  My head ... hurt and ... I feel ... um ... so dizzy ...”

I see Felix standing guard close to the door and I head to him. “Bella, I’m on my way.  Stay on your cell.”

I pull my cell away from my mouth before speaking to Felix. “I need to go. Find Aro tell him I had to leave, he will assist you in any details you need.  Let him know he is in charge.”

He gives me a nod, and I exit the door and run to my car.

“Okay, Beautiful, stay right where you are and stay on the phone with me. I’m on my way to you.” I try to take some deep breaths to calm myself. “Where are you, Beautiful?” I start my car as I switch my cell to hands-free.

“I ... hum, bathroom ... I think. Fuck ... it’s warm in here.”

I know right now it is best to keep her talking. “Have you been drinking?” I ask frowning, because I know even when I’m out with her, Bella does not drink much.

“Nope ... I am ... a goo ... girl ... I swear ... Sir, no ... drink-ies ... for me.”

“There you are! I was wondering where you got off to. Who are you talking to?” I hear a male’s voice ask, and I move my car a little faster.

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.

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.

Thank you all for reading and reviewing.  We love reading all of the nice things that you all have said.  Thank you again for everything.  Some of the biggest questions we had was these:
I thought Bella was having a girl? – Bella thought she was having a girl, but Edward thought boy.
Have Charlie and Leah been involved sexually? – No, Charlie is a real yuck, but he honestly thought Leah was his daughter.
How in the world did James get away with the things he did to Jake and Paul? – Money and having influential friends does a lot in any situation.  Besides this is fiction and there are not many if any people who did not want Paul and Jake to both get a tiny taste of the stuff they all to willingly dished out to others.
Is there an Epilogue after 25 or is 25 the epilogue? – The story is 25 chapters including the epilogue, so no more after 25.
Do you have more stories coming out since this is coming to a close? – We currently have a one-shot we did for Christmas that has an epilogue yet to post.  Then we have the one-shot we are writing for Moo AH, which we will post sometime in January.  We will be starting our new story that is sort of an ugly duckling Bella story, and for a change it will be in Bella’s POV and we’re excited by this prospect.  We also have an Escort story coming soon, and it will be fantastic.  We have another story we are doing for a fandom fights program, this time it is for domestic abuse—this will be a story written with jess2002 joining us.  We also will be posting a story to the facebook group page.  The two groups it will post at are: TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction and it will post at Secluded Wings.  Everyone’s welcome, we are an adult only, drama free environment. 
Is Phil going to end up with Sue? – No, but there is a bit of a story there yet to come for them both.
I think that wraps up the majority of the questions we have been asked.  I hope that you all like this teaser it is COMPLETELY unedited, because we haven’t even gotten 24 to the beta yet—speaking of which the last 2 chapters – 24 and 25, may have a few more mistakes than normal, since we are down 2 of our team because of the holidays.

Thanks again for reading and reviewing our story, Nikky and Kasi~

Teaser:  I hold Bella’s hand as we walk in with Adam into the doctor’s office.  We’ve both been worried about today, this is his first set of injections.  “You’re sure you’re okay to hold him?” Bella asks me again as she holds Adam close to her.

“Yes, I’m okay to be the mean parent today,” I say again with a little chuckle. “Beside you don’t like shots.  Since they scare you when you get them done on you, I know this is really going to be hard on you,” I say.  I remember that I had to hold Dean for his four month shots because Rose couldn’t even be in the same room when it was getting done, and Emmett was sick.

Bella frowns at me and I chuckle kissing her lips. “It will be fine, I promise.”

“But he’s only two months and still small.”

I pull her and our son to me and hold her close as I look down at my sleeping son.

“I know, believe me, I know.  Sweetheart if weren’t important for him to have these done we wouldn’t be here.”

Bella nods and lets out a sigh.

“I really can’t believe she’s breast feeding him in public,” a woman says loudly to the other woman sitting next to her. 

Both Bella and I turn to look at her and then to a young woman about Bella’s age who is breast feeding her baby.

“These teens today have no respect, whatsoever.  They act like whores, get pregnant and then plop their breasts out for everyone to see,” the woman sitting next to the woman who first spoke replies.

I look to Bella who’s looking at the young girl that is being spoken about so rudely.

“It’s girls like her that go out lead a guy on and then cry rape when it gets taken further than they wanted.  But just look at her showing all off all her goodies here in public.  Whatever do these stupid trampy girls thinks is going to happen?”

My mouth drops open at the woman’s cold words.

“Hold our son for a second,” Bella says passing AJ into my arms as she gets up.  At first I think she’s going to the restroom but instead she turns walking directly over to the two women.

“As you seem to make sure that your thoughts were spoken loud and clear enough to everyone that’s in the room, I thought I should make my thoughts clear.  First, neither of you have any right to judge that girl on anything she’s doing.  So what, she’s feeding her baby, it’s a baby who is clearly hungry and being cared for.  If you don’t like it, then don’t flipping look!”

My eyes open even wider hearing Bella use one of her clean swear words.  I start to get up to head over to her.
