I tell you this after every update, but it is still true. You are my favorite author, by far. Your ability to bring so much life to your characters is amazing. How you do that with so many characters is is truly a gift. Love all the kids, all the olders, all the parents. Thank you for sharing your talent, no matter how long it takes. As for this chapter, I think Edward is going to regret not tell Bella what is going on. Regardless of the reason a promise is a promise. I love angst, but I love these kids so much and I don't want anything to happen to them. OK yes I trust you to give us all our HEA, just a little nervous about the in between. See told you that you are a wonderful author! XOXO, Cheri
Date: 25 Sep 2013 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15
Tell you this everytime, but I LOVE this story! Best thing I ever did was print out your first page pictures (especially the kids) and I pull it out with each new chapter it just helps keep them clear in my head. You did such a wonderful job bringing each of these Cullen/Whitlock kids to life with your choice of pictures. OK, this chapter was hard for me. Nadia needs to go straight to He!!. I hated Nick being uncomfortable and down right scared. Yes he isn't a kid, kid but a predator is stil a predator. Love Lexi and Tiff, but of course like his father Jackson is my favorite. He is just a carbon copy of his Dad, and God I love his Dad! Till next time, thank you for sharing your talent with all of us E/B lovers that can't write their way out of a paper bag, as much as I wish I could! PS Really enjoyed the background with Josh & Lexi. XOXO, Cheri

Love that the kids know about their parents problems, but don't know. Just plain love this story! Take care of you, I remember 9 stitches in my left thumb from TRYING to remove carpet in my living room about a year ago. Actually carpet knife 9, Cheri 0 so I understand what you are going through. Hope to see you and this story again soon. XOXO, Cheri

Don't appologize for something out of your control. OK, yes I jump up and down whopping and hollaring when I see an update from you. Yes I savor every word. Set aside time when I can read without being disturbed. So what I am saying is I will wait however long it takes to reap the benefits of your words. Best moment... Bella telling Edward how amazed she is with him 'at his age'!
Love this family, love your story. Thank you. XOXO, Cheri

Ginger, have said this before and will say it again. For your stories I would wait forever. Will admit I had a couple of small panics that maybe you weren't going to post anymore and I am sorry for my lack of faith. Love the way you wrap me into your stories and your characters. XOXO, Cheri
Date: 25 Aug 2015 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24
You were one of the first authors that I found on this wonderful site way back when People first started. My first author that I made a "favorite" on my list. You had me hooked and amazed from the first paragraph. PLU will always be a favorite of mine and AFLO is no different. You have such a wonderful way of bringing your characters and story to a point that they seem so real, so relatable even tho I'm not a millionaire, not a movie star and unfortunately very single. You showed me a side of BSDM that I could understand and enjoy. You let me in to your imagination and let me believe in a true love that could survive bad times and a crazy family. YOU ARE AN AMAZING WRITER and you are truly appreciated. Please don't deny your fans your amazing talents.
XOXO,Cheri

So thrilled to see this story back! PLU has always been my fav fanfic. Love the pics, just having a hard time putting names and faces to whom belongs to whom. Will get there and love the pictures of all the kids. Great job. After 20 years would be hard to hope for 24/7 HEA, but I know you will get us there with a great story along the way! Can't wait to get started!!! Lots Of Love, Cheri

Date: 24 Feb 2013 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6
Wonderful chapter. Thank you for giving us both E/B and the Tahoe side in one chapter. Was anxious for the Jasper/Jackson talk and it went so well. Love Lexi. Makes me wish I had a twin! I love how in depth I feel with ALL of your characters, of course the pictures help to 'see' them and really feel like you know them. Silly, but I printed out the pictures in a collage of each family so I could keep it handy while I read and keep everyone straight. Really helps and I so love the 'people' you chose for the kids. Josh & Jared remind me of Em. Tiffany is absolutely a perfect mini Alice and Jack, Lexi, Nick and Sam... perfection! Still wish I could find the PLU picture of Edward holding Jack & Lexi in his arms when they were newborns. That picture haunts me to this day. Cried happy tears when I saw it and I have never forgotten it. Too much to ask for it to make its way into this story somehow? Love the way you write and can't thank you enough for sharing! XOXO, Cheri
Date: 01 Apr 2013 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Little undecided about this story. Not sure if I am more in love with the hawt love scenes between E & B or the fantastic part of the story with all the kids. You have made each of the kids so individual and interesting I keep getting pulled into their stories. So hard to wait for your updates, but you give us such great, long chapters that I can easily forgive. Torn, but loving it! XOXO, Cheri
Date: 14 Apr 2013 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9
Beautiful, wonderful, amazing. This just keeps getting better and better! Love that Edward can now sympathise with Charlie, because Lexi may have just found her "Edward". You have done such a wonderful job with Lexi & Tif. Seem so real and such a combination of each of their parents. As for Josh, Jack & Nick...whew. See lots of sequels here (I hope!) Love your stories! XOXO, Cheri

Michele, yes have missed this story, but for your words I will wait as long as I have to. When I get to missing this story I go back and re-read PLU. It is alwasy a favorite no matter how many times I read it.
Sad about Seth & Jesse, can't quite figure that one out yet. Missed the bigger kids, tough when the grow up and away. B&E handled it well tho. Would love to figure out how to become one of their children (or I guess the kids Grandma with my age being what it is). Always look forward to the next installment (no pressure, honestly) just enjoy the heck out of them when the notice comes through. XOXO, Cheri

First, I will never give up on you or this story. Second, RL can be a bitch, that we all understand. Third I am so darn happy to see this update! I was just reading a fic the other day that listed AFLO & PLU as a recommendation. I replied to the author that PLU was one of my favorite stories of all time. Now, this chapter, hard to read but I knew it was coming. So proud of the Cullen kids, all of them. Hope Nick realizes that he probably couldn't have stopped this. Hope E/B can help each other stay strong. Also hope that if you ever decide to quit this story you will let those of us that love the way you write know. Until that time - you have a fan for life. XOXO,Cheri

Author's Response:
Wow to say that we are blown away by the response to this is a complete understatement of what we actually do feel—shock, awe, happiness, thrill ... just to name a few of our feelings. The fact that this one-shot only garnered an honorable mention in the contest does not go anywhere near the exhilaration we both feel over the heartfelt reviews and PM's we've received telling us how much you've loved this and how you voted for it. We have tossed a few ideas back and forth and have some of the story out-lined. Trust in us to finish this, but it will most likely be at least a couple of weeks before the next chapter posts, but it will be a substantial chapter and well worth the wait. A lot of you want Tanya, Renee, Phil, and James to get their just dues. Trust in us, we are usually great at doling out punishments. When all is done and said there should be no rock left unturned in the story. We're not sure how many chapters we will add, but you will get complete resolution by the end. Thanks again for taking the time to read, review and to those of you who voted for us, thanks for that too. Nikky & Kasi~

Successful and powerful in business, Edward keeps his personal relationships shallow. He doesn't believe anyone can love him just for him. Then he meets young Isabella sweet baker who seems too good to be true. Bella is strong, kind and determined.

Author's Response:
thanks for your note - the next chapter posts tonight, i hope you enjoy it.
Here's a teaser for the next chapter:
“Vicky, I’d like you to meet Emmett’s better half, Miss Rosalie Hale. Rose this my cousin James’ wife but more importantly my friend, Victoria Volturi.”
They shook hands. Rose went over to join Vicky and Bella, while I moved over to stand with Emmett.
“I usually hate these things but it is actually bearable with Bella here.”
“Yeah, Rose was so excited to get all dressed up. Alley helped her find a dress and I treated her to an afternoon at the hairdressers. You’d think I’d lassooed the moon, she was so grateful. She's not used to little luxuries but she’s going to have to get used to it ‘cos I plan on spoiling her as much as she'll let me. She’s the one Edward. I know it. I can’t move as fast as you have with Bella because of Rose's experiences with her abusive ex, but I can be patient. Believe me, if it were up to me we'd be on our honeymoon right now. I fucking love her.”
“That’s great man. I am truly happy for you. This ex of hers sounds like a nightmare. There’s no way he’s still a threat to her is he?”
“Well, threat of not. If he ever finds her he’ll have to come through me and I won’t hesitate to put that man down. Fucking pig, abusing a woman.”
“You ever need me, bro’ and I am there. Just say the word.”
“Thanks Ed. She’s my one and only from now on.” His eyes were bright and I realised he too had found his mate. Now all we had to do was find someone worthy of our Alice. I hate to see her alone.
“Edward?” My sweet girl was standing close and looking up at me. I loved it when she did that. “The girls and I are going to find a seat ready for the parade. Will I save a seat for you?”
“Sure, love. I’ll be along in a little while.” She walked off with the girls and as I watched her walk away from me I noticed how many men were watching her and checking her out. I must have growled louder than I thought as Emmett hit me in the arm.
“Settle down man. You’re in love with a beautiful woman. You better get used to other men looking at her but you’ve got nothing to worry about. That girl is the real deal. You have a winner there man.”
I nodded and smiled. “She’s my one and only too, Em.”
Cheers,

Loving this story. Boy, I knew Jessica was a _itch and jealous but Wow, wasn't expecting this. Can't wait to meet Charlie. XOXO, Cheri
Author's Response:
Many of you are questioning how Jessica knows so much about Bella. Bella and Jessica are both from Forks. Jessica is jealous of Bella, because Bella beat her out for valedictorian. Jessica was always the smartest of her class, until Bella came along. Several years younger and doesn’t even have to try in order to surpass her academically. Bella got all the best scholarships and awards, all things Jessica wanted. When the stuff happened at Harvard, of course Jessica heard about it, and being from Forks she certainly knows Jacob. A lot of you want retribution in blood or however it can be gotten. Rest assured that what comes around goes around, but as long as Bella is close enough for them to hurt, Edward will keep his cards close to his chest.
Things are progressing well, and where this is a slow burn thing will heat quicker now that she lives there. It’s still a slow burn, but no longer dragging feet pace. For the record, Edward does want her to go to supper and meet his family, but he is tense about it because his family is very in your face caring and loving and Bella is not used to that type of family interaction. Edward doesn’t know it yet, but he loves her. Be patient and you will see this, I assure you. Next chapter will post on Sunday, see you then.
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~
Teaser: “Yes, my girl performed a special dance for me earlier. She said she would, with our approval, teach something similar to Sulpicia.” Aro gets a dreamy look on his face and grins even wider at me.
“Yes, there have been talks about that dance your girl performed since I arrived earlier. If you are in agreement with your girl doing this, then so am—” Aro gets cut off with the ringing of his cell phone. “Speaking of my pet,” Aro says before he answers, “Sulpicia,” he says answering the call.
Before he says another word he looks to me as if he is concerned. “Yes, I’m with him right now,” he stops talking and has a look of anger coming across his face. “Keep her as calm as you can. Edward and I will be with you both soon.” I look to him as he talks and close his cell.
“Sulpicia is at Bella’s work. From what I can gather, there is some money and belongings that have gone missing. Her boss checked out the staff lockers and found a laptop that another staff member claims was hers in Bella's locker.”
I nod at him, but I know my girl and she is no thief. It only takes us a short time to reach Bella’s work. As I walk in my eyes fall on Lauren and Jessica, standing together. As I look at Lauren, I see she has the laptop I bought Bella.
I smirk and move over to them. “That's my laptop and I don’t believe I gave you permission to touch it.” Both girls look my way and Lauren glares at me.
“No, this is mine. Look, it has my name on it.” I raise my eyebrow at her as she turns it and shows me the stupid sticker displaying her name.

Love the way Edward takes care of her. XOXO, Cheri
Author's Response:
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 3rd 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.

Love, love, love this story! XOXO,Cheri
Author's Response:
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.
