I've read this before. Been quite a while.

And I guess it's just me and my poor attitude, but I can't help thinking Bella is just throwing a tantrum.

"My boyfriend dumped me and I'm going to hold my breath until I turn purple."

Because, of course, Bella is the ONLY one EVER who has been dumped by somebody. Bella is the ONLY one who EVER lost someone, and NO ONE feels the pain of loss like Bella. NO ONE has had a broken heart before. ONLY BELLA.

Everyone around her is begging her to react, talk, eat, etc and she refuses. She's got the power, she's got everyone by the balls and she's yanking on them.

Little Queen B (for bitch) getting all the attention, while other folks grovel at her feet.

I guess it kinda pisses me off. Guess I can't sympathize. I didn't get it when I read New Moon, and I guess I still don't get it. Then, I suppose I figured it was Edward was meant to be her one and only, he left, and she fell apart. But I still couldn't really sympathize.

Everybody has to deal with shit, but you still have to get up and do the laundry, feed the kids (if you have them), put the dog out.

Maybe that was Bella's problem—she didn't have anything else in her life at all so she knew she could collapse and it wouldn't make much difference. I mean, Charlie could actually feed himself and do his own laundry.

Knowing this, Bella went into her zombie tantrum. However, she did continue to go to school. Nobody could take care of that for her, so she did that.

I just want to slap her and say, "Get the fuck over yourself, you selfish little asshole. You ARE NOT the center of the universe."

It's what happens in life—you get left. Dogs die, parents die, friends get killed in car crashes.

And this is why I think Bella was so immature. She may have been responsible, until Edward dumped her, but she was still a sheltered kid and didn't have a clue about the crap that happens.

I'm glad Jasper is gettin' tired of her shit.

So, what? Is everyone supposed to be able to read her fuckin' mind? It would be different if nobody asked her what she was thinking about, but Jasper outright asks her, and the selfish shit doesn't say anything.

Proving she has all the control again. 

Everyone jumping through hoops for the Queen B.

ug

I actually skipped over most of the previous chapters to get to here.

You did Rosie okay, I think.

As for getting rid of the three nomads - I think that was Carlisle's fault. Due to Carlisle's influence. Did I mention that before?

I'd have to agree with ya there, about Quil and Molly. Even today, in small towns, such mixed-type marriages would be frowned upon.

Lived in West Virginia for five VERY long years and the whole state was like that.

Edward and Jasper just left. Wow.

I'm kinda having a hard time with Edward going along with that idea. But should be interesting.

OH jeez. One of the little hum-vamps is about to be born! Oh crap! Or rip its way through its momma?

I wonder if it will have blonde or copper hair?

Busy day in Forks.

Yeah! they took care of James, Laurent AND Victoria!

and there's been an imprint. Oh my goodness. Yeah, back in 1955 the white folks probably wouldn't be too happy about a mixed marriage.

That should be interesting.

Oh boy! Five new wolves.

Jasper nearly had his ass handed to him.

I bet Levi wasn't happy about that!

Okay! Adding some love over here on TWCS!

I like how you've written the "history" here and have included how Emmett is still being affected by his newborn phase.

Edward seems a bit petulant and arrogant. Go figure.

Edward had an interesting first day of school.

Intrigued to see what sort of idea Carlisle is going to come up with in order to allow them to stay in Forks.

Good. This explains how Ephraim, Levi and Quil 1 are still around in 2005.

Bella's impressions of the beautiful men on the Rez were certainly interesting. (Back in that chapter.)

My goodness! That was a pretty quick courtship and marriage! Makes things a lot simpler though.

I wonder ... would the Quileute Tribe have to approve of Ehpraim's new wife or is it up to the man? He's the Alpha. You'd think the tribe would be concerned with who he brought home.

After he phases, I hope she doesn't have a heart attack!

That was so sad. Poor Martha - to have to suffer like that. And to lose the babies.

I can see that Ephraim will probably blame Carlisle for their deaths.

Luckily, Edward wasn't a prat this time. I'm glad he was helpful to the pack.

Does Edward do something to disguise his youthful appearance? While he's teaching, I mean.

Sounds like the Council wasn't too happy with the Pack's idea about telling the tribe their secret.

Though, later, Charlie Swan sure seemsto know what's going on! I would guess the Council gave in.

Twilight Official Illustrated Guide is kinda inadequate. (Of course I bought one.) I like most of it, but for me, there just isn't enough detail.

I laughed out loud at "Josie"! Jasper/Rosie Oh Jeez!

A dozen of them!?! OMG

"Date? DATE?" Jasper and Edward spoke in unison.

LMAO

So Billy and Charlie have met and become friends.

I can imagine it would be difficult for Ephraim to be around the twin girls.

I can't imagine being able to feel the emotions of a roomful of young teenagers!

I drove school buses for a while and had enough of it just hearing them run their mouths!

I expected there to be trouble between Edward Jasper about their girls and boys!

LOL

Weddings!

Now I'm wondering if the hum/vamps can breed with each other. Perhaps we will find out!

Interesting that there's no mention of any of the wolves imprinting.

Oh gosh! The population explosion in Forks! LOL

Oh! Here comes Embry!

So sad for the whole tribe.

I've finally caught up!

Man! I keep thinking here that Jasper sure dicked over Carlisle!

Damn. That Tony = demon seed, I'd say. And the little dear thinks Jasper's been neutered? I'd suspect Jasper is biding his time. He's had to wait a long time for his soldiers to grow up.

He and Edward don't really seem all that attached to their progeny, so I can't see Jasper having a problem putting the whammy on them. Unless they can kick his ass.

I sure hope Edward and Jasper figure out what's up with the youngest hum/vamps.

Perhaps Alice will be useful and see something.

Oh crap! If the little demon spawn go to school, then that's how Edward and the rest meet Bella. Holy crap!

Eager for your next update.

Oh boy! Carlisle's in the shits.

Interesting how Charlie said he didn't want Bella in Forks anymore because of the demon seeds. I mean, second generation hybrids. Friggin' monsters.

Oh man, I'm feeling really sorry for Ephraim, Billy - both of them losing wives to death. And I feel bad for Charlie, too. Renee isn't dead, but she's gone.

***

Billy's reaction to the sad news of his wife Sarah's death and daughter Rachel phasing into a wolf was well done.

I liked that part where Billy was sitting on the beach and Quil went to sit with him.

***

Oh damn! Leah changed when she was 13! And imprinted on Sam? Oh jeez, now there's two female wolves. Ephraim's going to be a little surprised at this news, I think.

(So he doesn't meet Emily later?)

How is the pack going to handle that? (Very carefully.)

***

Congratulations on being nominated in the 2013 Energize WIP Awards in the category of Best Twilight Non-Canon, and nominated as Most Motivational Reviewer!

"How the mighty Alpha had fallen."

Great line.

Oh, yay! Ephraim has finally met Bella! Or Bella has finally met him.

A bit of a hint there that Jacob has a little crush on the lovely Isabella?

"until I can make her mine"

Ol' Ephraim is assuming a lot there. But how could she resist him? He's lovely.

I feel bad for Billy. He's so angry at the loss of his wife. Who can really blame him? It was Carlisle's fault, though he certainly didn't set out that day to kill anyone. Then there's Ephraim. He's lost two wives and he just seems sad.

I'm glad he's finally met Bella.

I liked that Ephraim didn't take any crap off of Carlisle. The wolves know about the vamp tricks and they'll be watching to make sure the vamps don't do any of that crap to Bella. I can see that Carlisle would bring up the treaty line, but Ephraim certainly had a point how the vamps have broken the spirit of the treaty, if not the letter of it.

"What the hell happened?" LOL

Good girl, Bella! I like that she has a bit of fire in her.

Great idea to have Paul go to school with her. He'll make a great guard. (I {heart} Paul.) It would be too suspicious to have four or five of the Quileute boys or girls show up at Forks High.

Since Paul won't have a problem putting his arm around a pretty girl, he should have no problem following Bella around. Now, to get Bella to understand that it's just for show. With Paul's size, that'll keep the other boys away.

I'm glad the rest of the older pack members will step up so that Ephraim can be as close to Bella as he can.

I wonder if Edward will be enthralled with her? Or any of the other, uh, children? Some of them are Edward's. Ephraim won't stand for that. None of the wolves will.

Then there's the demon spawn hybrids. Egads. There's like a dozen of them, right?

Woo HOO! Ephraim's plan sounds like it's going to work. What else can he do besides kidnap her? That wouldn't be such a great idea.

After Bella got to school in the morning and was creeped out by the demon spawn looking at her in the parking lot, I'm sure she was relieved to have Paul show up and throw his arm around her. That'll get the kids talking though. She just showed up, and she's already got a boy hanging on her? Rumors will fly! But if he keeps the demon spawn away ...

So eager to see who her teachers are and who will be in her classes.

Very curious to see what Jasper and Edward think of the new girl. Jasper will know that Bella is repulsed by the vamp hybrids. Will Edward be able to read her mind? If he can't, he'll be able to read Paul's, I suppose. Then there's all the rest of the mind readers that will try to see into her head.

Good Lord! There's so many of the Cullens, they'll be everywhere. They'll be coming at her from all sides. I expect she'll have some choice words for them!

Too bad Charlie has been susceptible to the vampire dazzling. Bella would have been better off going to the Reservation school.

But, looks like the ka-ka is about to hit the fan.

Good job!

Curious to see how Bella rebels!

"Northside big cocks"

LOL!

I'm still amazed Alice didn't crawl up Jasper's as and explode for not *defending* her against the newborn Izzy-bella.

Been a while since I read the story. It's like brand new!

Speklez, really like this story. Reading it again.

Ya know, we'd love it if you posted your stuff on BetterinTexasFiction.

I'll try and put a link here: http://betterintexasfiction.ning.com/

Don't know if it will work or not.

Jason (BetterinTexas) got a little fed up with a couple other sites and started his own. He wanted a bit more freedom than he could get at FF and other sites, and wanted to be able to post his original stuff.

Best part? He doesn't care what you post there. There are the general rules about no pedophilia, bestiality, etc.

Post any fandom you want or even your original stuff.

Another good thing? Flaming the authors doesn't fly. The general rule is if you don't like something, shut up and don't read it.

We've had a few folks who have never written before begin writing!

Folks who have written a few fanfics have even posted original stuff.

A very encouraging atmosphere.

Another thing I like about it is you can post pictures with your story and you don't have to go through a photo hosting site.

Think about it. We'd love to have you.

(I'm one of the admins there.)

Cheating pixie? Eager to see what the story is behind that.

She's all pissed off at Peter, now she's all pissed off a Jasper. And gone.

I hope she doesn't hurt the goon squad too bad.

Newborn 101.

Bella is learnin'.

She's not doing real well with the Newborn 101.

It may take Jasper a little time to get her to his bed.

She finally got to feed.

All she wants is to be able to call him Jasper?

She's got to be up to something.

Gee. Shouldn't he make sure her arm is back on before he fucks her?

Total sexist, chauvinistic pigs.

What does Bella see?

Two of her favorite people? Or some other vampire out there?

Ha!

Edward thinking he knows best again. And Alice gets to watch him burn.

They ficked over Jasper and Bella and I guess Bella fucked them right back.

Daddy Cullen's favorite fox. Oh my.

She is hatin' that shit.

So how come Peter hasn't marked Char as his mate?

Damn! Victoria and James. Holy shit. It's a wonder Bella didn't tear them both apart.

"Not at the cost of someone else's."

That's a lie right there, Bella. You'd let someone you love be killed just so you wouldn't have to kill somebody? You wouldn't protect your children or spouse? You'd let them be killed so a death wouldn't be on your hands?

Well, I guess Peter told Jasper how it is.

A compromise?

Seems like Edward also tried to use that same soert of thing on her.

Wonder if she'll go for it.

Jasper didn't even need to have his ass beat. He learned without violence or bodily harm.

Too bad my husband is an old dog that can't learn new tricks.

Enjoyed your story!

That was brutal and hot and sexy. I would love to more more about how Edward ignored Bella. How did she put up with it for a hundred years?

And Peter just happened to be in town.

How lucky for Bella to finally have a real man.

And Jasper tried to call Peter? How interesting. what could he possibly say to him. "Alice saw ..."

Shut the hell up.

LOL

I can't imagine she put up with a century of that bullshit. And I can just see him doing that. But she didn't know any different. Until she met Peter.

Good story. Well done!

Well, now.

Seems as though Jasper is learning all the "manly" arts.

And Tanya's right on him.

I thouht he didn't want the Cullens to visit? What the hell are they doing there?

I bet that guard was having fun directing Carlisle to the elite Guards common room.

And who the hell does Carlisle think he is trying to tell Jasper what to do?

Minor son? Really, Carlisle?

Okay, I gotta wonder why, when Caius first took Jasper back to Volterra, Jasper didn't tell him about his brother.

They had a deal to keep quiet, but Jasper had to see that he was being treated well and taken care of. Wouldn't he have wanted the same for his brother?

And the Cullens are known for descending in a horde. It wouldn't matter how old Jasper was.

Oh, my God! Jasper is going to drive Carlisle insane. And Edward right along with him.

Yes. It would be nice to have a King as a father.

Yep. I'd say that if Carlisle tried to raise a hand against Jasper now, he'd draw back a venomy stump.

Jasper won that round.

Esme may schmooz the boy right back.

Now Jasper is going to have to remember that he's had a family all these years and his brother was all alone and missing him.

And Jasper and Bella meet again! HELL of a meeting!

How the hell did she just get up and walk away?

Should be interesting when Edward gets a whiff of Bella on Jasper.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I still think Carlisle is being a douche. Where's all this compassion? He's got some for everyone except Jasper. Of course he likes Peter better. Peter hasn't given him any shit yet.

So Bella runs into Peter at the books store. I guess she would be confused.

Now Carlisle is preaching at Peter about what he eats. Fortunately, Peter and Jasper will be 18 in a while and can leave that dogmatic bullshit behind. Peter is old enough to make up his own mind, but Carlisle is pushing it. 

Jacob slapped Bella!?! Yeah, that'll make her want to be his girlfriend. Stupid dick.

Jacob's lucky Jasper didn't kill him.

Yeah! Right to the bedroom. We can only hope Carlisle doesn't walk in and stare at Bella's goodies.

Or any of them, for that matter. Christ. Have these people never heard of knocking?

Very nice. And no interruptions!

Yes, might be a good idea to know each other's names.

Welp. Charlie is as big a douche as Jacob.

GOD! What total fuck!

I can't wait to see what Jasper has in mind!

Hot damn! When Carlisle showed up, I figured he'd draw the blood, but then *lose* the results.

WHOOT! Jasper's lawyer is in town, taking names and kicking ass! YEE HAW!

It's be nice to have that kind of money, huh?

But, Jasper did behave himself!

Too many witnesses to that breathalyzer for Carlisle to screw with the blood test. Jasper won't be in jail much longer. He can step out while Charlie is stepping it!

Carlisle thinks he knows something. Asshole. He probably thinks Charlie caught Jasper in bed with Bella.

Bella's right. Charlie practically tried to throw her into Jacob's bed. Fucking pig.

Hate to say it, but there's going to be trouble with Bella being only 17 and at the guest cottage. I hope Caius shows up and buys a house or something.

He'll be shocked about Peter! I hope Jasper remembers to mention that little bit of info.
