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.

Well Nikky and I both want to thank you for reading and reviewing.  All of the questions, compliments, anger (at the characters), love and kindness in the reviews is what keeps us going so strong.  SO, thank you, for reading, reviewing, sharing your stories and most of all for loving the characters—the characters who may not belong to us in name, but who we’ve taken and made into something completely different.  It is very cool to take a loved character, change them and make them different and still have people love them so much or fall in love with them all over again.   There were lots of reviews filled with questions about the newspapers and what Charlie told them.  First in regards to the newspapers, just like when Renee went all press goddess on them, the news already knows Edward.  Edward has made no secret of his lifestyle, how else would Charlie so easily have found out about Edward.  Therefore there was really nothing to put in the press, Charlie could try but it would not be front page news anyway.  Also if you remember right, Edward doesn’t really put a lot of stock into the media reports.  There are a lot of great things to come yet, so have patience and trust.  No stones will be left unturned.   Thanks again for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER: Phil and I walk into Jenks’ office. I decided that I no longer want any of this shit spoken about at the club. Bella loves the club and I didn’t want any additional bad feelings in it for her.

“Jenks, Benjamin,” I say taking a seat; Phil nods at them.

“We’ve found the last of the girls and even another case that was not dropped.” I look at them and they hand me a picture of a girl I have actually met and I’m in shock. 

“They have DNA from a brutal attack and rape of her,” Jenks says as I look over the paperwork behind the picture.

“You’ve got to be kidding me?” I say and they both shake their heads.

“Now you really need to look at this,” Jenks says handing me another stack of paperwork.

I read the papers and frown. “How the hell did he make Chief of Police?” I ask rhetorically, not really asking anyone.

“I’m really not sure on that one, but he will lose his job with all of this.”

I sigh rubbing my face. “Make it happen,” I say and stand up, walking out the door.

“Edward?” Phil yells after me.

“Phil, just let me calm myself. I’m really close to losing all of my control. The more I find out about Charlie Swan, the angrier I become with him.”

Phil nods in understanding. “There’s a boxing ring a few blocks from here, how about we get padded up and go for a few rounds?”

I sigh and look at him, but I stop myself from speaking. I can see he’s clearly as angry as I am. “Sounds good, just watch my face,” I say and I hear him chuckle.

“Yeah, Bella will kick my ass if I hurt your pretty face. Do you think she’s ready for Saturday?”

I shrug my shoulders. “We’ll work together to get her ready, and then we’ll all be there for her on the other side. No matter what, I know she needs to do this, even if I hate the idea of it.”
