Hey :)

Not offended at all. I know long waiting between updates can be confusing, but that's better than me just dropping this project. I couldn't, even if I wanted to... it's all in my head and I need to get it out, haha! ;)

As for the becoming a 'WE', they didn't. Not really. It's still not clear, most of the time Bella refer their new relationship with the words 'whatever is going on between us'. But to try to get clearer, at the end of chapter 24 (I promise I'm worthy) when they ~finally~ kiss goodnight, that's where they know they're going to be okay. The next chapter is the morning after, it's Bella POV who still has lots of doubt and don't want to tell the kids. And yet, at the end, she decide to just 'enjoy' being there with Edward, not overthinking everything.

This chapter is actually that same day. So they're still on their little bubble, not yet a official couple, but clearly happy to be together at the moment. Also, Bella realize she can't hide from her daughters who see and understand more than she gave them credit for. So she try to explain it to them (Emma, mostly.)

Hope that helps. :)

Hello to all our lovely readers, thank you for reading and reviewing Enduring His Cimmerian View.  A lot of you were shocked by the level of abuse, but from the story in Edward’s POV the abuse was clearly going to be a factor.  Thank you for all the kind words and things said, trust us we want to hug Bella too, she is such a good person.  I personally feel a connection of sorts with our Bella, and I hope that Nikky and I are able to continue to write her in a way that allows you the ability to feel a connection too.  There was a few questions regarding the talk of Aro being married and mixing up of Aro and Marcus.  In Bella’s thoughts she is remembering seeing Edward outside of Gina’s office and then again outside Aro’s office.  Marcus did marry a girl who was one of Aro’s girls, and Aro married Sulpicia who is the girl that Bella witnessed being raped.  I hope this helps to make sense of a misunderstanding.   As for future POV’s we have planned, the next one we will write will be the Esme and Carlisle joint POV.  A lot of you have requested a Rosalie POV and we will do it, but it will be a while before we post it.  We are very honored that so many of you take the time to share with us your thoughts and we are so glad to have you all on board reading our stuff.  Thank you, Kasi (&Nikky)

Extra teaser just for you... from upcoming chapter
“Miss Swan, we saw the picture you did for Matt, and we were wondering if you could draw one of your mom and dad for us?  We’re in need of one so we have a clear picture as to what they looked like.”

Bella nods her head.  “I have a lot already. They’re at the apartment in a sketch book.  There’s one with both of them when they used to dress up. You could use that, but only if you promise to give it back so Seth and Leah can have it.  I drew it for them so they always have a picture of their parents.”

They both nod their heads at her, agreeing to return the original once they had a copy.  “Of course, thank you. When can we come collect it? Oh, and while I’m thinking about it, could we please get into your mother’s room to have a look around?  That may give us some insight on how to find Harry and Sue.”

Bella looks at me, almost pleading with me to help her, and I know it’s because she’s worried about people entering that bitch’s room.  “She can’t hurt you, Baby. I won’t allow her to.  They need to get in there because it sounds like she’s in a lot of trouble.”

Bella nods her head at me and then turns back to the detectives.  “You can. However, I’d like Edward to get everything for you.  I mean, if you just want the paperwork, then can’t he get it and take it to you?  If you still need to get into the room after that, I’ll let you in.”

They both nod again, and I think Spades is shocked that she’s so willing to help.  “That sounds fair,” Scully responds.  

Well that is pretty much verbatim the reaction we were expecting.  We did have a reviewer or two who feels that Bella has been abused to limits of overkill and that Edward shouldn’t want to be with a kid.  I want to address this a little before things get blown out of proportion on this train of thought.  Showing the things Bella lives with and has lived with, is how we are showing her ways of adapting.  Bella has been severely neglected all her life.  She knows no other way.  Speaking from some experience on the matter, when you grow up in a household without both parents and you pretty much raise yourself, and get pushed aside for your parents needs can either make you or break you.  When you solely depend on yourself, you tend to learn to not react the way people normally would.  Bella’s childhood in this story is a lot like mine, in the place where I had no contact with my father at all from age of 6 to 16, who I then saw twice at age 16 and never again until I was 21.  My mom started dating when I was young, but when I was 9 she met a man who she chose to place before me.  By the time I was 12 I lived alone, she gave me the money to pay the bills.  So yes this stuff does happen.  I am by far not a perfect parent myself and I may be a single parent, but I am always here for my children.  I turned out okay, and with the exception of not being able to be in a healthy relationship I am not screwed up.  Edward in this story sees the good in Bella, and sees that she is more than she’s been made to believe she is.  Bella was made to grow up fast as a child.  She parented her mother for years.  She pushed away by the same mother she raised to go live with a father who resents her for choosing her mother over him.  Now we had some questions about waiting until Thanksgiving, and it will be Thanksgiving soon in the story.  Just a few more things have to happen first.  Be patient, everything in this story will happen for a reason.  We have had a great number of followers and reviewers for this story, so we do write one major reply and send to all, but we do try to answer all questions asked ... of course we don’t want to give away too much.  I do hope that this helped you understand a bit more about how and why Bella just lets things roll and adapts to what goes on.  You can always join us on Facebook at the group called TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction.  On behalf of Nikky and I, thank you for reading and reviewing.  It means a lot to us.  Kasi (&Nikky)

TEASER: I quickly snap a picture, before speaking to her.  “No, just a normal picture, but you can pose for me anytime you’d like.” I wiggle my eyebrows at her as I snap another picture of her.

I keep snapping pictures as we talk in my office.  I know I have a few that I can use, but I can’t seem to stop taking her picture.  

“I think that’s enough pictures of just me.  Come on, Edward. Why don’t you take one with the both of us?”

I take the camera away from my face, before grinning at her.  I walk over to the oversized comfy chair then sit.  Off to my left is the large stone fireplace, and the flames are casting their warmth on my feet.  Once I’m sitting, I pat my leg in motion for her to join me.  “Come on, Beautiful.”

Bella looks at me, then to my leg as she slowly stands and makes her way to me.  She glances at the arm of the chair and I shake my head at her.

“Please, Beautiful, just to take your picture. I swear I don’t bite.”

“Liar,” Bella chuckles, looking at me. 

I look at her and frown.

“Don’t give me that look Edward, I’ve seen your club and read the first two books you loaned me.  Plus, you look like the type of guy that likes to bite, at least a little.”

I chuckle nodding, because she’s right, I am a biter. “You’ve got me, dead to rights on that one, but I swear I won’t bite you ... today.”

Bella sits on my knee and I pull her back so she is flush with my front.  I raise my hand with the camera in front of us and snap away.  Slowly, I feel Bella relax in my arm and she drops her head to the side of my neck.  I take a few more, before kissing the side of her head.

Well it seems like more and more of you are hating Bella’s parents.  That is quite understandable, but you haven’t even met them yet.  Yeah you get to meet them.  Form your opinions after you do.  The back story of what happened at Harvard will come out, soon.  You will also get to see more of the sweet side of our DomWard in upcoming chapters.

We had people worrying about throwing Bella right into scenes and such, we want to assure you that there is no way we could write that, because there is no way she could do that.  This story starts in September, and they will be friends first.  Edward has feelings for her, but he knows she is quite broken.  Have some trust in us, we are not perfect but we do try to provide a decent story worth reading.

We’ve had a lot of people asking about chapter count, and posting time frames.  At this point we are saying around 25 chapters.  There are 14 written and once we have it fully written we will post much more often.  We could easily post up to chapter 12 right now, but then you would be stuck waiting for 13 and on up.  We would rather put you on a week wait now, than have to say, sorry we got writers block no chapter this week.  We purposely started posting after we had 10 chapters written for a reason. 

We’re going to start giving teasers like we did for His Cimmerian View, and this is the first teaser and it is unannounced, so enjoy.

Nikky and Kasi~

I chuckle, before leaning in to whisper to her.  “These are exhibitionist submissive and Dominants that are in these. There are many showing different scenes—new things—teaching methods.  Some have sex in them, but unlike porn these, or most of them I should say, are collared pairings, who have been together for a long time and both agreed to do this.  There are some that are of a submissive that is into humiliation.  They’d meet with the Dom several times and build a trust between them, before these filmed scenes take place.  There’s always a contract between both parties, and both are screened for STDs beforehand.”

Bella looks at the DVDs and then back at me.  “Are you in any of them?” she asks, her voice is soft and low.

I look at her shaking my head.  “No, I’ve never done that.  Well, I never had someone taking pictures or a video of it anyway.  I have done a few scenes with my sub at the time.  When I’m not with a collared sub, like my current situation, I’ve done scenes with submissives’ whom I have a good relationship with from my club.  I’m due to do a teaching scene about rope bondage and spanking at the club three weeks from now.  No matter how many scenes I participate in, the one thing I don’t do is have sex during a public scene.”

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.

Hello everyone!  Thanks for all your kind words.  We want to start off by addressing some of the frequent questions.  This quote (“I know they love me, really ... I know but, it’s strange, maybe it’s just me. You know that I see and hear things differently from the rest of the world, but thank you for doing this and answering my questions.”) from chapter five had someone ask, what Bella meant.   Bella is referring to how she perceives her family versus the way others do.  Jacob is not a card we are showing yet, you’ll have to be patient to see what he has up his sleeve.  Did Bella hear him in the shower?  We have yet to hear that answer from Bella ourselves, but in my thoughts she surely did.  Will there be any chapters in Bella’s POV?  She is talking a little here and there, but nothing’s set in stone as of yet.  Shouldn’t Edward as a good Dom cancel the scene?  The scene is not canceled, but it has been modified from the original way it was written.  This was for several reasons.  We have sixteen chapters written, yet we still continue to makes tweaks and changes here and there before posting.  When we started making him have hard feelings about the upcoming scene, or feel nervous about it, we started discussing it more.  We found a way to appease us, our readers and yet still show what we wanted to show.  So trust us—please.  I’m glad we haven’t fallen into the pleads for more chapters to post faster, because in the last week we haven’t gotten another one done.  Of course WeeKittyAndTAT, JessAndTAT and TeamAllTwilight all submitted pieces of work into the Fandom Fights LLS.  WeeKittyAndTAT did an Epilogue of sorts for Ropin’ A Sitter.  JessAndTAT did a future take on Bases Loaded.  I wrote a new fan fiction novella, it’s called, The Things That Make You Click.  All of these will post to our FFN and TWCS accounts, but not until after December first.  Watch for two one-shots to post soon to our account, the winners will be announced tomorrow in the More is MORE contest.  Think that brings you all up to speed.  Feel free to PM us and ask questions if you have them.  Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER:  “Felix, my father is coming in tonight. Please have him come straight to my office.  Keep everyone else out until I’m done. If there are any problems, I trust you to deal with them accordingly.”

Felix nods at me, but doesn’t say anything. I carry on, walking toward Jenks, when I’m stopped by Tanya.

“Sir, I have some news that I would like to share with you.”

I turn and face Tanya who looks like the cat who got the cream. “Tanya, I’m very busy, it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.” 

I move away from her, but she grabs my wrist pulling me back. “It’s very important, Sir.”

I yank my arm away from her, turning to face her once more. “Tanya, don’t you tell me when I will speak with you. I’m busy, so unless you’re going to die in the next five minutes and need me to call an EMT for you, I don’t want to know. And never touch me again without my consent!”

I walk away without waiting for her response. As I approach Jenks, he shakes his head, looking behind me at Tanya.

“Ah, still trying to get your attention then?”

I nod at him, opening up my office.

“I’d stay away from that one; she’s clearly after money, fame and quite frankly, has ‘whore’ written all over her.”

I chuckle a little at his quite accurate synopsis of Tanya. “Yes, I know. Those are the main reasons I have always refused her, that, and she makes me lose brain cells every time she opens her mouth. But enough about her, what did you find out.”

Jenks looks at me sadly and I can clearly see the worry on his face. “This is not going to be easy to read. Even harder for you I’d say, because you’ve become somewhat involved with the girl.”

I nod at him in understanding. “Just show me.”

Well it seems the majority of you really liked this chapter.  There was some confusion regarding Edward’s family, they all really love Bella, but have been warned to not be too handsy or huggy with her, because it is nothing she is used too.  Please don’t fret, Edward’s family is there and will be there to support Bella.  Lots of you still want instant retribution for Bella against everyone who has hurt her, but please be patient Rome wasn’t built in a day.  As always our update schedule is every Sunday night/Monday morning, so far I have been able to post every Sunday.  There is a lot of stuff going on and things will be interesting here very soon.  A lot of people were surprised by Bella’s actions of kneeling naked in his playroom, but only Bella knows what she wants.  Edward wants her there is no doubt about that, but he wants her to want him for herself—not just because she thinks this is what he wants.  Edward has a fine line to walk, but he is not stupid and will handle this situation accordingly.  Thanks as always for reading and reviewing.  Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser:
I glance down at my cell, when it rings seeing that it says Beauty.  I frown, because I know that she should be about to start her last class.

“Beautiful, is everything alright?” I ask worryingly.

“Renee called, I didn’t pick up.  I was unsure if you wanted me to call you first or if it was just Charlie. I’m sorry, I just thought ...”

I smile and sit back down.  “No, Renee wasn’t on the list, but I’m glad that you called.  Please wait until I’m with you before calling her back.  I will make a list of people of who you are not to answer to, it’ll make it easier for you—us.” I hear Bella clear her throat a few times. “Is there anything else, Beautiful?”

I hear a light chuckle. “You know me so well.  Two things, one I want to know what would happen if I skipped my next class, and second, they want me to see Mr. Whitlock, Jasper, sometime today.”  I can hear in her voice there’s something more and I know this may need a face to face talk. “I am on my way to make an appointment with Jasper right now.”

I smile a little and grab my car keys.  “I coming and getting you from Jasper’s office, stay there until I arrive.”

“I will, Sir ... it’s, oh, Jacob,” Bella says.

“Well, hello there, Isabella.”

I move faster towards my car.  “Don’t speak to him.  Go into Jasper’s office and hand Jasper your cell,” I say to her, while Jacob was talking.

“I’m sorry, but he’s blocking my path.”

I let out a sigh, and start my car. 

“Who are you talking to?  Not that old guy?  Is he still fucking you?  I’m surprised he’s been able to keep himself hard around your whore ass.”

I grit my teeth together. “Shout Jasper’s name now,” I say as Jacob rattles on.  When I hear nothing coming from Bella, I put on a firm voice.  “Now, Little Girl, scream for him and hand him your cell.”

“Jasper!” I hear Bella yell.

Well so far everyone is pretty much at the same conclusion, that Renee is a POS when it comes to being a mother.  With the way Bella has been raised and the way that she acts, this is not a big surprise.  Some of you have asked why Edward has not yet stepped in to protect her and that as her Dom he should.  Edward has been very clear all along that he wants her to grow and be confident on her own as well.  Now you will see that he is giving her the power to stand up for herself, and as her Dom he is telling her that he expects her to stand up for herself.  Bella is much stronger than most think, including Edward, but have no fear he will see her strengths.  I think that you all will be shocked to see how far Renee will go to maintain her own importance. 

A lot of you mention or talk about earlier authors notes and review replies where I have spoken candidly about my own upbringing.  Not every bad thing that happened or happens to Bella in this story happened to me growing up, but the neglect and the being pushing away and having parents who think only of them was a very prominent part of my childhood.  Both my parents are now gone, and I miss them.  I know that is not easy to understand for some, but even though they treated me like a second class citizen most of the time, they still were my parents.  This is why I maintain that you never know how you’d react in this situation, because unless you’re raised in it, you don’t know. 

As always we will see you next Sunday night — Monday morning with an update.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  (Nikky) & Kasi~

Teaser:
I smile and look to Renee who looks angry and pissed off, but thankfully, she has finally shut up.

“Edward, can I talk to you?” I turn and look at Phil, and I nod. I take one last look at my girl, before following him away from the kitchen area.

“What can I help you with, Phil?” I ask directing him into my office.

Phil sighs and looks at me. “I love Renee very much, and she’s not always like this.  Normally, at home she’s sweet, loving, and kind. I have only seen her this way a few times, but not too often. I think being here in Washington is bringing this more to the front. I think Charlie did a number on Bella, but he also hurt Renee, too. She has low self-esteem, and some issue with being around younger girls. The whole forgetful memory thing, I think it’s a medical problem.”

I chuckle shaking my head at him. “I’m not really sure I believe that, unless only forgetting a thing concerning your only child is a medical condition.”

“No, she forgets more than things about Bella. I swear it’s gotten to be a medical thing, she really just forgets things,” Phil says.

“He’s right, Edward,” I frown and look at my open office door and see my father standing there.

“What’s that then?” I ask harshly.

“Selfish bitch syndrome,” my father says with a straight face. I look to Phil who just frowns.

The overwhelming response to the chapters so far have far exceeded what Nikky and I thought this story would generate.  We are both very proud of this story and humbled by your responses.  In lieu of the ‘boycott’ at FFN everyone will be getting Meeting Her Needs in their inbox later today.  We hope that you all will still take the time to leave us your thoughts, especially since this coming chapter is super wonderful, (Well we think so anyway!)  Thanks for trusting in us, and no worries things are really shaping up at the end we’re working on that will leave you all satisfied—we hope.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER:
I put on my tuxedo trying hard not to turn and watch Bella get dressed or look in the mirror.

“Edward ...” comes Bella’s voice as I tie my laces and answer her.

“Yes, Beautiful?”

“Two things, is it wrong to go to these balls ... things without under garments on, and could you zip me up, please?” I run through what Bella has said again and turn to her.

“Wh ...” I try to talk, but I’m unable to complete what I’m saying as I look at Bella, whose sheer beauty takes my breath away. The dress only adds to her natural beauty and I feel stupefied as I stare at my beautiful girl.

I look Bella up and down, taking in every part of her body. I slowly look her up, starting at her feet. My eyes trail up how the dress sits on her body like a second skin. I look at how it makes her already large breasts look fuller. I look at her neck that still displays my mark. My eyes go to her lips and I see that they are moving.

I close my eyes and shake my head. “Sorry, I spaced out there, can you say that again, Beautiful?”

Bella chuckles shaking her head at me. “You look really hot, like my own secret agent man. I was asking, because this dress shows every line, so I should I take off my panties, right? I couldn’t squeeze my bra into the bust area; the girls can hardly breathe as it is.”

I look back down her body and see that she's right, she has a panty line. “Remove your panties, Beautiful, no one will know,” I say. I watch intently as Bella wiggles out of her panties and comes over to me and turns around. My eyes trail down her body again and I start to kiss her back. I feel Bella shake and laugh and I look to her.

“I need you to zip me up. I mean, you can carry on doing that, but I think we’ll be late if you do.” I smile giving her one last kiss, open mouthed, at the base of her lovely neck, before pulling the zipper up. With the zipper up it makes the tight dress even more molded to her curves. It fits her like a glove, and I make a mental note to thank my mom.

“Come on, Beautiful, let’s get this over and done with so I can bring you back here and kiss you some more,” I say holding my arm out for her to take.

Well no big surprise that a lot of you were not happy with the cliffhanger, yeah, expected that.  Some of you are very perceptive on future things to come as well.  There will be some BIG shockers in the next chapter, and we are super stoked to hear your thoughts on those.  Few questions we got from a scan over the reviews were: posting schedule? We post on Sundays.  What are rose and the other Cullen’s up to?  Revenge served Cullen style.  Can parents really be that asinine?  Yeah, actually they can, sad but true.  Is Tanya really that stupid?  Well, yeah, clearly she can be.  Is someone messing with Bella’s medical records? No.  Why is Charlie such a asshole to his daughter?  The answer to that will be in chapter 19.  Who let Jacob and Paul into the club and how?  Tanya, and since she worked there she knew how to get in, without being out in the open.  Wasn’t Tanya kicked out of the club?  Tanya was on a warning, but because at the time Tanya was still under Sir Stephan, her entrance card would still work.  You’re only writing around 25 chapters, can’t you write like a 100 instead?  Um, well we have other stories killing our minds, so yeah without sounding harsh, we’d rather write something new then run this into the ground and make people hate it.  I think that covers most of the questions; there are a couple questions asked that will be answered in the next chapter.  We cannot wait to read your coming comments on chapter 18!  Nikky & Kasi~

Coming up with a teaser for this next chapter was not easy because there is a lot packed into it.  So we hope that you like this: 

“You asshole,” I hear Bella scream. I turn in time to see Bella flying at Paul.  Moving quickly, I try to pull her off him and she shakes me off and keeps hitting Paul as hard as she can. As she hits him, she continues to scream calling him names and chastising him. “I fucking hate you. I really fucking hate you. I hope you rot in hell, but even that’s too good for you!”

I pull her to me again.  “Enough,” I say into her ear, but I know by the look on her face she hasn’t heard me.

“What the fuck are you laughing at, Jacob? Eh, you’re a sad pathetic loser who’ll more than likely die from a sexually transmitted disease.” Turning her head between the two of them she continues on. “Neither of you are anything or will be anything. You’ll both always be nothings! Go fuck yourself, because I really don’t think anyone else will, not willingly anyway. I won’t back down this time. I will take both of you to court. I will tell the world what you’ve done.” Jacob runs toward her and I turn us so Jacob starts hitting my back. It takes all my strength to hold on to Bella as she’s still trying to get loose. Only a few seconds pass and Jacob is pulled off of me.

Wow, you all just blow us away with the response for each and every chapter, so on behalf of Nikky and I, THANK YOU ALL so very much.  There are a lot of questions about what all happened to the evil witches at the college, well that is coming to you soon.  There really weren’t any questions asked that we could answer without giving away the ending of what they all have coming.  We are currently working on chapter 22, but it’s going well and there should be no waiting for it to post, it should post on time.  Most of the story wraps up in 21 and 22, but there will still be chapter 23 and for sure chapter 24 and maybe a chapter 25.  The ending is almost writing its self and it all is going really smoothly.  We hope you enjoy the way this wraps up.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Hope you all like this teaser ... Nikky & Kasi~

TEASER: 

I get out of my car and walk toward the club. I can’t help but walk with a skip in my step, knowing very soon my girl will be meeting me here.

“Edward,” someone calls from behind me. I turn around and my mouth drops open.  Standing there is a much disheveled-looking Tanya. I look down at her as she rambles on, but I don’t listen. She’s wearing dingy, yellow slacks that are at least two sizes too big. The gray t-shirt she is wearing has what looks like coffee stains all over it. Partially covering her crusty, dirty looking shirt is a rather ugly purple, ripped-up, fake leather jacket. Her hair is very frizzy and looks like a huge afro on top of her head. To top it all off, she has no makeup on and looks ghastly pale. I hold back my laugh and just look at her.

“Are you listening to me? I said, ‘Do you see this?’ Look at me, please, you need to let me have my life back,” she whines out at me. “I need proper clothes, and a salon.  Alistair would freak if he saw how horrid this is. Please help before I have to have it all cut off,” Tanya says as she pulls at her hair.

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.
