oh, boy, Aro's head is a scary, scary place to be.  The world is full of unsuspecting girls indeed!  Probably Edward & Bella are safer in the reeducation center than near Aro, although the upcoming darkness and pain does NOT sound good.  Thanks so much for updating this story!

I'm not sure I understand (yet) what's up with the dishes (perhaps he pulled out Edward's jerseys out of one of the other opened boxes?), but I certainly understand that Emmett is full of rage *and* has an uncanny skill at switching faces.  Not dumb Emmett at all, but scary Emmett who leaves Bella feeling **decisions were constantly taken out of my hands by circumstance and events beyond my control**  Of course babies do happen, but Emmett's smugness is telling, plus he clearly drugged her before their first time together.  So much of what's been driving Bella's life since college has been Emmett, and not for the good. 

And lord knows there are enough cues in this chapter that it ain't going to get any better:  **I’m much smaller than him and can’t take some of the intensity in which he likes to make love...I shifted uneasily as his eyes narrowed slightly at me...I was so relieved he wasn’t angry about the baby. ... “I’ll go through them again tonight and make sure everything is labeled. Thank you for catching it.” (when she could be/is upset about him breaking her stuff) **

[shudder]  I'm finding evil, manipulative Emmett enormously fascinating & am delighted beyond belief that you're continuing with this story (and that my votes for it *worked*!).  While I wish that you could perform an authorial resurrection of Edward and have him ride in on his white horse and save Bella, at this point I'll settle for her finding a way for her and her child to break free of Emmett and escape, with no man in her life for a long while.  Because, really?, once she figures out what he's done/doing, how is she going to trust someone else?
