Thank you for reading and reviewing! Hope you keep enjoying the story a86; xo Mina

No, no cliff diving.  You're not the first person to suggest that.  And yes, she is camping with her father, Billy, and Jacob.  As for the rest - I'm afraid you'll just have to wait till Saturday!

I've been nominated for Fic of the Week on The Lemonade Stand!  There are only hours left to vote, and currently I'm in second place!  Please vote for IrY!

Edward knows exactly what Bella needs to hear.  He doesn't want to make her forget him or make her think he doesn't love her anymore like in New Moon, he wants her to remember him but be able to let him go, which she really does need to do.  Edward is too different from the man she fell in love with for her to be able to move from one to the other.  She needs to mourn the Edward who really did die before she can love the one who was born.

I know it seems like it, but I really won't wait til chapter 49 to bring them together.  I think its in chapter 46.  (Joking, just joking!  It's coming up soon, really!)

Thanks for reviewing!

Thank you sooo much for reading me!

I hope you continue to enjoy the story. I have finally finished it and will post until complete.

Well without a doubt I think it is a clean sweep, everyone wants to either: kill, beat or maim Renee.  Nikky and I both want to thank you all for telling us all of this.  To us it means more knowing we were able to evoke those kinds of feelings in our readers, than any of you can know. 
There have been a few people laying threats about bring charges or else I will walk from the story.  I want to address that by saying, Bella is not as weak as she used to be, and trust that the cards will fall exactly as they should.  Renee’s story is set in stone for us, and we will not deviate from how we planned it.  Neither of us wants to say, Renee will go to jail and Renee will suffer this and that way ... What we want is for this story to unfold as it was and is intended to do so.  All we can say is trust in us enough to know that we will not let a story go with things unfinished. 
Now we do need to address the several comments about how Edward needed to step up and be the Dom and take control at the hospital and how Renee wouldn’t have been allowed to do what she did.  Sadly if a person is an adult and is unmarried and doesn’t have a power of attorney signed over to someone else, medical choices fall to your nearest blood relative.  Edward trying to control things would’ve most likely gotten him removed from the premises, and we’re sure you’ll appreciate how well he brings out the Dom soon.  Some questioned if the hospital would’ve kept Renee out being it was her fault, but unless the police were involved the hospital is in a hard situation. 
Finally we want to say again that we will continue to post every Sunday night/Monday morning, until the story is fully written.  Once the story is fully finished we will post twice a week until it is completely posted.  Thank you so very much for reading our story, reviewing our story and loving our story so much.

Teaser: 
“I love you Mom, and want you in my life,” Bella says.

I feel my heart start to race, but I hold back the yelp that wants to come out. I’ll beg her if I have to; I need her in my life. I can’t live without this girl. She may’ve only been in my life over a short period of time, but she has quickly become everything to me.

“And I hope one day you can forgive me,” Bella says looking to me as she speaks. “But I need Edward more, a lot more. I know that I will never be enough for you or for him, no matter what I do. I know that Edward deserves so much more than what I can give him.” 

I shake my head and walk in. “Not true,” I say with a smile.

“But, here’s the thing, he’s a good man, Mom. He has such a big heart and he would never hurt me physically in any way. When—and I know it will be when—he leaves me, he will make sure that I am still okay. He makes me happy. He makes me want to live.  He’s the reason I’m still alive.” Bella’s eyes fall to my feet.

“Don’t start that silliness again, Isabella.” Renee starts chastising my girl. 

I walk right up to Renee and glare at her. “Quit treating her like a pet; she’s your daughter.”

“Say your goodbyes, Isabella. You’re coming home with Phil and me.”

Bella shakes her head. “No! I can’t and won’t leave with you. I love you Mom and I will be here when you forgive me, but I’m staying with Edward, if he’ll still have me.”

I move quickly to Bella and look into her eyes. “You’re more than enough for me. You’re so much more than I ever dreamed of. I’ll always have a place for you in my life.” I lean my forehead against Bella's.

Hey, thanks for reading and review Meeting Her Needs.  Nikky and I are very happy with the amount of pleasure most of you are finding in this story, so THANK YOU SO MUCH.  There haven’t been very many questions or things to touch base on this week, so I’ll try to do it all here.  Someone wanted to know why the lemon wasn’t longer and more detailed.  The lemon was written the way it was because we want this story to be more about the story and less about the lemons themselves.  We had questions and comments regarding the BDSM in this fic too.  The BDSM in this fic and the actions within this fic of the lifestyle in and of itself have come from many conversations with people from the lifestyle.  Not everything is intense tie you up, spank you, kneel and crawl.  It is a matter of respect, choices and trust.  Please don’t ever think that we would want to write a story just for the sole purpose of making someone another person’s punching bag or pet (in the term of treating someone as if they are not human.)  We will continue to post once a week until the story is completely written.  Nikky is currently working on chapter 20 and there are five more after that to write.  If you ever have additional questions, you can find us on FACEBOOK look for the group called TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction.  You can also email us at our screen name all lower case at gmail.  Thanks and see you Sunday with the update.

Teaser:  “I–I need ... I can’t sit here. I just need time ...” Bella gets up quickly and almost runs out of the room. 

I sigh looking at Phil. “She’ll be fine—she has to be—we just need to be there for her when she needs us.”

I nod and get up to start looking around for her. I looked throughout the house first, which takes me almost a half hour to do. I was starting to panic that she actually left our home. I open the back patio door and I see her, and instantly I feel myself calm.

“Beautiful,” I say when I approach her, as she works in the dirt of the flower bed she started with my mother. She stops and turns to me and I give her time, knowing she is going to talk to me now.

“Dr. Banner thinks I have been suppressing and curtailing my anger. I’m starting to think that he’s right. I’m just so angry right now, but mainly I’m mad at myself.”

I frown and tilt my head in question at her.

“Edward, I let them—I let them treat me that way. I was always trying to please them. I never asked for anything other than their time. I would always say it was fine, when they forgot my birthday, or anything that was connected to me. I let Charlie push me out of his life. I would always sit back and pretend that didn’t kill me to see him call Leah his princess, or listen to him tell her he was proud of her and loved her. I would say it was me that was to blame for that. I was the broken one. That there must be something wrong with me, and I wasn’t worthy of their love. It’s kind of pathetic when you think about it, huh?”

I shake my head and move to her. “It’s not pathetic to want and desire to be loved.”

Hi there!  Thanks for saying hello.  Wow, what a lovely and heartfelt review!  I'm so sorry you've had a similar experience with your husband--I hope he continues to improve.  Thank you for saying how well I captured the experience--that truly is the highest compliment I can receive on this story.  I'm so glad you took this journey with me!  :)
