I'm really enjoying this story. It is so different from anything I have ever read. I'm hoping Edward and Bella will be meeting soon. Looking forward
to reading more.

Author's Response:

Edward and Bella will meet in Chapter 9. : )

 

Thanks for reading.

I love how Edward and Bella met. I'm anxious to see what happens next. Are you ever going to do an EPOV? BTW I spent all day reading your story Sinful Thoughts over in FF and I loved it. I know the stories are completely different but if the writing is anything to go by I know this story is going to be amazing. You really are a great writer. (sorry I didn't review in FF I don't have an account there and I honestly didn't even check to see if you allowed anonymous reviews. I got caught up reading and couldn't stop until I finished. I even ignored my poor husband and my son.) I don't know how often you update but I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later because I honestly can't wait to see what's going to happen. The story is great so far.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I am glad you are enjoying this one as well as Sinful Thoughts.  I doubt I will do an EPOV but if I do, it's likely to be an outtake.

 

I update at least once a week, sometimes more when the creative juices flow. : )

I guess Bella and Leah are friends? I never liked her much in Twilight but I guess she would be different here since she's not the girl wolf. I'm liking Quil. It's just so different hearing the wolf part through him because it's always through Jacob. I kind of like that Jake isn't a wolf in this story. BTW thanks for the quick update. I'm looking forward to reading more soon.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thanks, and yes, Leah and Bella are friends. Leah wouldn't have turned all bitter if Sam had never left her, so it's nice to see that side fo her. I think.

I love the Edward and Bella interaction. I'm very interested to see what type of relationship develops between them. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more about them.

I really do enjoy reading the QPOV. Now I'm wondering if he's going to imprint on Claire. I like a man that can admit to watching a soap. I love The Young and the Restless but I have to say that General Hospital is my favorite. Thanks for the updates. Can't wait to read more. I love everything you have written so far.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I know the wolves aren't always everyones favorite so I am glad that I can make them interesting.

 

I really appreciate your reviews.

I love the interaction between Bella and Edward. I'm so excited to see this relationship develop because it is so different from anything I have ever read. I like how you mention Sam and Leah being happy considering how unhappy Leah was in Twilight. Thanks for the update. Hope to read more soon.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I like that I can make Leah happy in this one too.

Poor Bella being attacked by her own son. This is definitely an interesting turn of events. Why is Jake never there?I'm really starting to get curious as to what is happening with him. I wonder how Edward is going to react to Bella being attacked. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Jake is trying to feel important by dealing in wolf things. Don't worry, this will be a bit of a wake up call for him.

 

Thanks for reviewing.

I really enjoyed this chapter. I love that Edward was waiting to take her to the hospital. I'm guessing Bella will have a lot to think about with everything that Carlisle said about how Edward feels. I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm guessing up next is QPOV?

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Yes, Carlisle has let the cat out of the bad, so to speak.

Poor Bella. I imagine it has to be hard for her to have a son who is a wolf and to have this weird friendship developing with a vampire. Talk about a complicated life. So the first of the pack imprinted on a ten year old? I can't wait for the rest of the pack to imprint. Amazing writing like always.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reading. I can't say at this point if any more of the pack will imprint. ; )

Happy New Moon weekend! I'm actually reading and reviewing this while I watch the movie. I'm glad Bella and Edward saw each other. It must be hard for Edward to stay away. I think it's cute how John told Bella about imprinting on her daughter. What's the deal with Jake? Is he still being distant? I wish I knew what he was thinking. Amazing chapter like always. Looking forward to reading more soon.

Author's Response:

Jake is being a bit more present. Bella's accident was a bit of a wake up call for him.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you can still have a nice vacation.
I'm glad Jake is trying to do something nice for Bella, but I have to wonder if the damage to their relationship is already done. I really want to know what happens now that Quil knows she is still having contact with Edward. I imagine that is a conversation Bella never wanted to have. Can't wait for more.

Author's Response:

Well things will be heating up in the next chapter. I don't believe Jake and Bella's relationship at this point is doomed, but there will be something that happens to make it so. Just can't tell you what.

Holy shit. I did not see this coming. Your wolves are a lot more interesting than the ones in Twilight. I always remember the vampires saying how young wolves were dangerous but nothing ever really happened. Well except Sam attacking Emily, but we didn't see that. This was definitely a great chapter. I will try to wait patiently for the next update.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thanks, that seems to be the same reaction I am getting over on FF too. Yes I thought it was strange that the wolves were so "dangerous" but nothing really happened besides Emily.

I'm so glad you are back. Hope you had a great vacation. Thanks for updating so quickly after just getting home. You are definitely the best. This chapter was so intense. I feel so bad for Quil even after what happened with Jake. So many changes have occured in his life in such a short time and he is still so young. I imagine it has to be extremely hard for him no matter how much he puts up a brave front. I can't wait to find out what is going on with Bella. I'm really interested in seeing what led her to make that choice. Definitely looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it. There is lots going on with Quil, I feel like I am beating on him a bit but thems the breaks. LOL

I really enjoyed this chapter. It's sad that Bella fears her own son, but after everything that happened, how can she not be afraid? That being said it's kind of ironic that the person who is comforting her is a vampire. I can't wait to see what happens when Bella meets the rest of the Cullen's. I'm also very curious to see what Quil has told everyone about Bella.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for the review, here is a tiny teaser for the next chapter

QPOV

“Is Claire coming today?” I asked. I was hoping that I would finally get a chance to meet her.
“Yes, but she may be late, she had a couple errands she had to run in town today,” Christopher replied.
“Oh,” I said. It seemed odd that on this grief-filled day anyone would have other things to do. I supposed not everyone’s worlds had stopped but it was so major to me that I almost expected it to.

Poor Quil. It seems like eveything in his life is difficult. Poor kid can't seem to catch a break. He did just imprint on the girl his friend is dating, right? I'm glad he told his sister the truth. She deserved to know even at such a young age.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you. Yes he imrpinted on his friend's girlfriend. Lots of people over on FF thought that Christopher had already imprinted on her but he hadn't.

Reviewer: emartin Signed

I love the progress that Bella and Edward have made in their relationship. I think Edward is absolutely wonderful for just being there for her. I'm curious to see if Charlie is going to find out the truth because it's definitely not normal for the mom to move out and leave her fifteen year old alone. Her explanation is only going to work for so long and then what? Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm excited to read about the imprinting on Claire.
Good luck to Tanya.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much.

I think Charlie likes to avoid conflict so he won't do much digging about it.

 

And yes, Edward is wonderful, isn't he. : )

I'm glad things are starting to look up for Quil. Christopher took the news of the imprinting better than I thought. I guess he truly is a good friend. I really hope that Quil will be able to work things out with Bella. Great chapter like always. Hope to read more soon.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

I think more that Christopher knew he couldn't win so he bowed out with dignity. I don't think it was out of friendship.

 

Thanks for your review.

Great chapter. I absolutely loved it. I love that Edward and Bella are finally starting a relationship vs a friendship. I love Bella's sense of humor. Asking the vampires if they had eaten was extremely funny. Thanks for the update. Can't wait to read more. I'm looking forward to QPOV to see how things are going with Claire.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you. I'm always happy when people are interested in Quil as well.

Reviewer: emartin Signed
Date: 04 May 2010 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26

I can't make up my mind about Quil. At times I want to kick his ass for how he speaks to his mother, but other times I understand his concerns about her relationship with Edward. For some reason I had forgotten about Rebecca. Isn't she only ten? This definitely affects her if Bella chooses to be with Edward forever. Although it's not like she is a typical ten year old when she has a brother and a soul mate who are wolves. I'm so interested to see how all this will play out.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Yes Rebecca is only 10 and that will effect things for Bella, for sure.

 

Thanks so much for your review.

Reviewer: emartin Signed
Date: 09 May 2010 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27

I can't believe Rebecca would be so disrespectful to her mother. John shouldn't have passed his hatred for the vampires onto Rebecca. I know her and Quil have gone through a lot, but the way they treat their mom is just wrong. Bella should make John stay away from Rebecca for a while. Maybe she can learn some manners and John can learn to keep his mouth shut. Maybe seeing how it hurts to stay away from someone you love will make him understand that what he did was wrong. I can't wait to see what happens next. This was a great chapter like always.

Author's Response:

Thanks so much. Rebecca is just mourning right now. She'll get over her vamp hate.

Reviewer: emartin Signed

I hope that Quil can work things out with Bella regardless of what choice she makes. I'm glad Claire took things well. Atleast something in Quil's life is ok. Great chapter like always. Can't wait for more.

Great chapter as always. The way Edward proposed was so sweet. I love how they both need the other as part of their lives. I'm anxious to see what is going to happen since John was listening to her conversation with Charlie. I can't wait to see Quil's reaction.

I'm anxious to see what will happen between the wolves and the vampires. I keep wondering if there will be a fight or if it will be something more peaceful. I can't wait to see what you write. I'm sure it will be something great. Looking forward to reading more soon.
I'm curious, is the story near the end? I was just thinking about this so I thought I would ask.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

We are getting closer to the end, I think we will have about thirty four chapters and two epilogues.

 

Thanks for the review.

Reviewer: emartin Signed

I can't believe she got Alice to bite her. I definitely didn't see that coming. It seems like Rebecca might be more understanding than Quil. Loved the ending. Can't wait to find out what happens next.

Elli :)

Reviewer: emartin Signed
Date: 01 Jun 2010 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32

I loved this. It was definitely a great chapter. It's sad that one of the wolves had to die in order for Quil to realize that fighting wasn't going to change the fact that Bella had already been bitten. I'm glad Quil realized that the Cullens meant them no harm. If only he had actually taken the time to speak to them the outcome might have been different. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Elli :)

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. I actually had a different wolf die in my outline but I couldn't do it in the end.

I can't believe so much time passed. I cried at the beginning of this chapter when Quil was looking for his mom. That was just sad. I never cry when I read. I guess I can't say that anymore. LoL. The fact that you could make me cry speaks volumes about your talent as a writer. I think that first scene just reminded me of how hard it has to have been for Quil. He underwent so many changes in such a short time and suffered so much loss that I actually felt his pain. I hope Rebecca and John do find Bella. Hopefully Quil will get to see her again. I can't wait to read the epi's, although it makes me sad to see the ending.
Love that you made yourself a wolf in the story. Do you end up with your hubby? I think I remember you saying once that you named one of the wolves after him. Could be wrong and it's after 3 in the morning so I'm too lazy to check. If I'm right, I think that's cute and if I'm wrong, sorry I'll try to pay more attention next time. LoL.
Elli :)

Author's Response:

Yes, my hubby's name is Chris, so yes, I wrote myself in as his imprint. Tee hee.

Wow, that is quite a compliment, I'm so proud of myself for making you cry.

Awesome chapter like always. I love that Edward and Bella are happy. Definitely a shock about Rebecca, but then who wouldn't want the chance at forever with their soul mate? Can't wait for the next chapter eventhough it makes me sad that it's the end. Elli :)

Love the James POV. I like that you are giving us a chance to look into his sick mind. I hate that he saw Edward, but only because my instinct is to want Edward to be protected.

I definitely did not see that coming. I get that Edward doesn't want to talk about Tanya, but how could he take Bella there and not tell her that his ex lived there? That was just wrong. How is Bella supposed to tell him the truth now when he was involved with Aro's niece for so many years? I don't want Bella to doubt Edward, but I think it's going to be hard. When someone is as powerful as Aro people always know. How could Edward not know? Shit... I'm doubting Edward. LoL. I hope you update soon. I really want to know what is going to happen now. I don't think you should Aro's POV. Atleast not yet. He should still have some sort of mystery around him. Elli :)

Author's Response: Thanks Elli for your awesome review. I'm writing the chapter now and I promise you things will be explained, and why Edward didn't mention Tanya..you know our girl Bella is going to get on him for that...first, she has to get out of The Volturi Mansion. ~Korry~

So Tanya is going to get a beat down from Bella? I was hoping that bitch was getting killed off. LoL. That shit happens all the time in families involved in the business. Ok, so apparently I'm vindictive but I just can't stand the character of Tanya. On to other things......I think Bella is a little over dramatic when it comes to Edward. Maybe it is dangerous to know the truth about Aro, but most of the time knowledge is power. I think that in this case Edward not knowing would be more dangerous. Then again, I don't know where you are going with the story so anything can happen. Looking forward to reading more. Hope you update soon. Great chapter like always. Elli :)

I think Bella made the right decision in only trusting Alice and Captain Cullen. I don't think Rosalie is crooked, but at this point I guess you can't be too careful. I guess Aro knows everything that is going on if he even has people in the FBI working for him. Can't wait for more.

I love that you gave us a Charlie POV. I kind of wish there was more. Ok....so I'm starting to get greedy but I can't help it. LoL. Poor Charlie, to be so close to Bella and to have to let her go with her kidnapper. Who was waiting to see Charlie? I thought it was going to be Edward with Emmett and that we were going to find out here. I can't wait to see what happens next.

You are definitely the best for giving us another update. Now I'm really going to sound greedy because I so want the next chapter. I'm hoping it's coming soon. So..... Aro is dead. That's what he gets for doing his own dirty work. LoL. I like that Bella hit Tanya but I was kind of hoping she would get killed off. You know maybe get caught in the crossfire. I think that would of worked. LoL. I hope Edward is ok. I'm thinking he just earned himself major points with Charlie for trying to save Bella. Looking forward to the next.

I can't believe you left it there! That really is just evil! LoL. Aww, poor Bella. It did look bad, but I'm sure she will hear Edward out, right? Edward was expecting her, there is no way she could think Edward would be that mean. Surely she knows that Edward only has eyes for her.

I have to say Charlie and Carlisle are pretty funny. I just loved their reactions.

Now I'm in the mood to watch cheesy 80's movies. I'm going to have to dig through my DVD collection to find Can't Buy Me Love. LoL.

Can't wait to see what happens next.

Great chapter. Is it me or did Edward overreact in the fight with Bella? I felt like he was taking his frustrations out on her. It seems like she was only worried about him and he took that as her having no faith in him? He accepted apologies from Em and Rose and even agreed to help Emmett with homework, but he was mean to Bella? That kind of bothered me. I don't think he meant to be mean, but that's how it sounded to me. Bella is a much nicer person than I am because there is no way I would have gone to apologize. I would have waited.

Can't wait to see how this unplanned sleepover ends. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I'm so behind on my reading that I just got around to reading this. Carlisle is hilarious. I love seeing that he has that reaction to Edward being with Bella. Did he think Edward couldn't get himself a girl or something? I'm not sure how I feel about Leah telling Edward what happened with Jacob. She's putting him in a very difficult situation and I don't like the idea of him not telling Bella. I understand that it's not his secret to tell, but his relationship with Bella is new and I don't like the idea of there being secrets. I guess we will have to wait and see what Edward decides to do. Can't wait to find out.
Elli :)

I've just recently found your story so I read all the chapters you had. Sorry about not reviewing the other chapters, but honestly once I started reading I didn't want to stop. I'm loving it so far. You are definitely doing a great job with this story. I'm thinking it's kind of soon for them to have a baby, but I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason. I guess if they are pregnant we will have to wait and see how things go. Can't wait to see what happens.
I love this whole quote thing you have going on. It's fun to see if I can figure them out or not. Some of them I haven't been able to guess. I'm pretty sure the one in this chapter is from A walk to Remember, "Are you trying to seduce me? Why? Are you seducible?" Atleast I hope I'm right.
Elli :)

Date: 12 Aug 2010 Title: Chapter 22: Christmas

Loved it. Okay... So I thought it was too soon for a baby, but I felt really bad for them because they were both so disappointed. It could always be that the test was wrong, but since I don't know where you are taking the story I won't speculate too much. About the annulment, my guess would be that she did know she could get one but chose to give the marriage a try. Edward just assumed that she didn't know because she never mentioned it. Okay.... so the quote in this chapter I'm not too sure about. The only one that I can see is from Eclipse: "I promise to love you every moment of forever." That is the only one that pops out at me, if there is another one I can't see it. Definitely looking forward to the next chapter. Can't wait.

It's cute that Edward and Bella want to practice their baby caring skills on Lily.  Looking forward to reading more.

Date: 22 Aug 2010 Title: Chapter 25: A visit to the Hospital

I loved this chapter. I'm actually glad she is pregnant. I thought it was still too early in their relationship considering they didn't even date, but they are happy so all is good. I guess when you know if it's the person for you it doesn't matter how long you date. I met my hubby when I was sixteen and he was almost twenty and he always says that if it had been legal he would have married me that same day. LoL. I guess we will have to wait and see how Edward and Bella's relationship goes from here. I never had any strange cravings when I was pregnant, but I did get hungry in the middle of the night a lot. My poor hubby would always have to go buy me something because I never wanted anything we had at home. He was great about it.

They really do need to watch it with the bad words. Trust me, I speak from experience. My hubby is very bad about controlling his mouth and lets just say our parents were not amused when my son was only one and would say "fuck" all the time. My hubby thought cursing in a different language would stop the kid from saying it and that didn't work either because the kid still picked it up. My son who is now eleven can curse in english, spanish, and italian all thanks to the hubby. At least the kid can control himself and doesn't do it often.

I laughed when I saw the quote you used for this chapter because we were watching that movie last night so it was fresh in my mind. The quote is from Sorority Boys: "My name is Emmett (Roberta), and I'm addicted to porn and I mastubate constantly."

Date: 29 Aug 2010 Title: Chapter 27: I forgive you

Bella is a much nicer person than I am because I don't think I could have forgiven Edward so quickly, maybe never. As much as I like the new Edward, I wanted to kick his ass when she had the flashback. Apparently I'm a little vindictive. LoL. I kind of think he's getting off easy. It makes me wonder if Bella is just saying that she forgives him because she doesn't want to dwell on it. I know the saying is forgive and forget, but I don't think people forget. My thinking is that Bella still has a lot to work through, but then again I don't know what you have planned. I'm actually very interested to see where you are taking the story.
The quote in this chapter is from Remember Me: "Ghandi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it."
BTW, I feel a little cheated because I got the quote right in the last chapter and I didn't get a preview. LoL.

I'm glad that the parents were happy about the baby. I don't know if I would tell Renee. She might cause Bella stress that she doesn't need. If they are going to tell her, I think Bella should discuss it with her therapist first. I'm excited to see what you have planned, you seem to be able to sway me to the other side. Can't wait.

Great chapter. Loved it. I think Edward needs to realize that Bella might be bitchy her entire pregnancy. She's allowed to be moody, he is not. LoL. It kind of seems like he reverts to his old self when he snaps at her. What's up with Renee? Is she really sorry for what she did? I'm not sure I believe her, but I guess time will tell. Can't wait for more.

Loved the chapter. I love the name for the baby. About the Godparents, I would probably pick someone that has a connection to Emily since that is who the baby is being named after. Maybe Jake and Leah? If not them, then I would go with Alice and Jasper since they are very close. I think either couple would be a great choice.
The quote in this chapter is from The Proposal: "Wow. Barely made it out with my life. I mean, did you see those teeth?"
Still haven't tried the macaroni. We haven't cooked this week. I'm looking forward to trying it though.

Date: 19 Sep 2010 Title: Chapter 32: Surprise

Great update. The whole getting ready for breastfeeding thing was just hilarious. I loved how eager Edward was to help her. I had flashbacks of when I breastfed my son and my hubby decided to announce, in front of our parents, that he was so jealous of our son while he was being fed. That was not one of his finer moments. He's lucky our parents are pretty laid back and just laughed. I was so embarrassed, but it didn't phase him at all.

I can't wait to see what happens when Renee comes for a visit. I wonder what was up with the dream at the end. Bella isn't going to lose the baby, right? Definitely looking forward to reading more.

The quote is from Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason: "Why are you dancing around in that tent business?" "Because I don't want you to see any of my wobbly bits."

Reviewer: emartin Signed
Date: 10 Oct 2010 Title: Chapter 35: A mother's touch

I'm glad I read both chapters together because Edward really upset me in the last chapter. He wasn't that great in this chapter either, except in the end but that doesn't make up for it. He told Bella that she should have said something about the date...maybe if he had called instead of sending a text he would have noticed she was disappointed. Didn't he think it was weird that she never answered his text? I'm confused about who he went out with. I thought him and Emmett worked together and they owned the company or am I confused? How come the guys didn't invite Emmett? A little strange if you ask me. Sorry about my little rant, but Edward isn't making me happy. He does have his sweet moments, but I think he still has bad moments. He should be nicer to Bella because she is so nice and forgiving, sometimes I wonder if he truly deserves her. He should spend more time doing nice things for her, like with the cd, than complaining about her moods. Maybe he will see how great she is to him when she gives him the car for his birthday. Looking forward to reading more soon. Hopefully I won't miss the next update. LoL.

Bella sighed and smiled, her eyes closed and facing the sky, as the classical notes of Tchaicovsky's 1812 Overture swirled around the air. She felt Edward's hand gently begin to play with her hair and she bit her lip to stifle a sigh. He had been nothing short of amazing today and she didn't want their date to come to a close any time soon.

She opened her eyes and turned her face slightly to the left.

Edward's fingers still held onto a strand of hair as he smiled down at her.

"Enjoying the concert?" he asked, in a low husky voice. She smiled widely and nodded happily.

She watched her son carefully as he made his way downstairs, with Alice by his side. Something wasn't right. Sure, he was smiling and acting jovial, but there was something that was just off. Their gazes met and her worry increased exponentially. Jack's eyes were dull and missing his usual spark. 

She pulled him quietly to the side and whispered in his ear.

"What's wrong, baby?"

He smiled genuinely at her and shook his head.

"Nothing, Mom. I'm just a little nervous."

She narrowed her eyes and nodded, although she wasn't convinced that he was telling the truth, but starting an argument right now wasn't really an option at the moment.

Now that she had fallen in adoration with the Cullen clan, she couldn't imagine leaving them. But on the same token, she couldn't imagine leaving her own family and friends behind. The questions whirled around like a tornado, forcing her to blink back tears at their sudden force. She felt a nudge and turned to Esme, who was smiling at her.

"Hey, no frowning," she half-whispered. "Try to enjoy the day, sweetie."

Bella shook her head and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry, Esme. Too many thoughts running around in my head. I don't know what I'm doing."

Esme laughed lightly. "Oh, sweetheart! None of us know what we're doing. Life's a dance that we learn as we go. Everything will work out for the best, you'll see."

"How can you be so sure, Esme? I can't see how this will end happily."

Bella sniffed and looked down at her plate.

"How can I not, Bella? Fate stepped in and brought you to love and keep Jack safe. Fate brought you and Jack back to us. I can't help but be hopeful for the future, especially knowing that my grandson is alive and safe and loved."

I had seen the link for this story to FF over at FanFicAholics so I decided to look for you here. I favorited the story and hadn't had a chance to read it until today. Sorry about not reviewing the other chapters. I got so caught up reading and I really didn't want to stop. I have fallen in love with your story. Every chapter has truly been amazing. I had not read a fic with this plot so it's something new and interesting. This last chapter was great. I felt so bad for what Edward had to go through, but I'm so glad he opened up to Bella. I can't wait to see what the reactions will be after this. Definitely amazing writing. Looking forward to reading more soon.

As Bella yawned and stretched, her hand hit something soft and feathery. She opened her eyes and saw her fingers resting on auburn hair. Warm green eyes smiled happily at her. She sat up quickly and glanced around the room before turning back to the person in her bed.

"What are you doing?" she asked, slightly confused at his presence.

I loved the chapter. I suspected maybe someone was adopted in the Cullen family after reading the teaser on FB, but I was not expecting that. I guess it's easy to see now why Esme and Carlisle have been so nice to Bella. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more.

My computer is having issues at the moment, but I don't anticipate any delays for Friday! I normally respond to reviews on Monday afternoons, but said computer issues kept me from it until today! 

Hope you enjoy the teasers!

The pair got lost in each other's eyes until they were interrupted by the pounding of feet on steps.

Jack skidded to a halt in the hallway at the top of the stairs. He looked between his parents curiously, not quite sure what to make of them standing so close to each other. He walked over to his mother's side and looked up at his father. 

"Is everything okay here, Mom?" he asked Bella, while never taking his eyes off of Edward. 

Bella suppressed a giggle at Jack's attempt at bravado. She placed a hand on her son's shoulder, which caused him to look up at her. She smiled at him and nodded. 

"Everything is just fine, Jack. We were just about to head outside."

Loved the chapter. It put a smile on my face. I love the relationship that Bella and Jack have. Jack really is adorable. I can't wait to see what happens now that Jasper is there. I wonder what Edward is thinking about Jasper? Can't wait to find out.

Bella sat down next to Edward on one of the front porch swings. She turned and leaned her back against the side, pulling her right leg up and underneath of her. He turned his head slightly and smirked at her.

"How does it feel to be an old man?" she asked, trying to hide her smile.

He smiled widely and shook his head. "I'm not old."

Bella laughed and shook her head. She noticed that his smile fell as he stared off into the sunset. She nudged him with her foot and he turned to give her a small, sad smile.

"In my mind, I feel like I'm still 22," he sighed. "I haven't really celebrated a birthday in almost five years."

Loved it. I can see why Jasper was upset, but I think he was able to see that the Cullens are nice people. However, with a situation like this you can't be too trusting. I think it's cute that Edward was jealous. Can't wait to see what happens next.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Cullen," a beautiful brunette with ice blue eyes simpered, as she stood from her seat behind a large desk. "I was told you wouldn't be in the office for a few weeks." 

Bella quirked an eyebrow at the girl's blatant flirtatiousness. She looked over at Edward and noticed that his posture immediately straightened and his voice took on a cooler tone.

"Gianna," he nodded to the woman. "I'm only stopping by to grab a few things and to show my family around a little bit."
Bella's eyes cut to his face, surprised to have herself included in that statement. He smiled gently at her before leading her and Jack towards the large corner office.

"Family?" Gianna asked, confused. She didn't spare Bella a second glance, but her jaw dropped as soon as she got a good look at Jack. "Oh my God," she whispered and sat down quickly. As soon as Edward's door closed behind them, she picked up her phone and dialed.

"Jane? You are not going to believe who just walked in here!"

I loved the chapter. My son was born on Good Friday and we took him home on Easter Sunday so I loved that detail. I think it's great that Edward wanted to spend time with both Bella and Jack. I thought it was cute that Edward seemed to get jealous of Demetri. I saw your Demetri shares my last name. He's not going to be evil, right? I might get a little offended. LoL. I can't wait to see how things go now that Alice has arrived. Looking forward to reading more soon.

The next Outtake, titled: Save Me San Francisco, is looking to be up Wednesday at this point. I though it'd be up sooner, but I got sidetracked, lol.

Listen, I love you guys, which is why I take the time to reply to everyone who reviews and post the teasers and pics to the Blog. It's why I do silly little things, like posting polls and questions via Facebook and Twitter. I want you guys to feel like you are a part of the story. I hope I'm succeeding!

Bella laughed brightly during their back and forth banter, but noticed Emmett's stiff posture out of the corner of her eye. She bit her lip and decided that there was no time like the present to find out just what his problem was. She looked up into Edward's face and smiled.

"Do you think you could go check on Jack, to make sure he remembers his helmet and pads? He has a tendency to forget things when he gets excited."

Edward nodded and grinned before turning and heading up the stairs. When he was out of sight, she whirled to face Emmett and put her hands on her hips.

"What is your problem?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," he replied in a voice as blank as his face. She narrowed her eyes and took a step forward, so she wouldn't have to raise her voice.

"Yes, yes you do. I want to know what problem you have with me, that makes you feel the need to glower at the back of my head whenever you don't think I'm looking. Pretty soon Edward or Jack are going to notice, too, and I'll be damned if I let that happen. Both of them have already been hurt too much without adding you to the pile."
